Hoops were as precious then as dia-

have counted it a disgrace to have been

This book tells of the difference be-
tween General Stuart and General
Jones. They could not agree, and
Jones was given another command.
Stuart represented the cavalier, type,
and loved dancing, fine clothes. >fIirt-
ing and fighting equally we'll. Jones
was of the Puritan type, one who SO
despised show and luxury that he went
to the other extreme, and dressed SO
plainly that he was often taken, for q
private. When his men had to bivouac
in the rain or snow he shared it with
them, even when he could obtain shell
ter for himself, and his affection for
his troops was deep and strong.
Stuart, too. was idolized by his men,
for though he loved nodding plumes
and crimson sash, yet he had no per-
sonal pride about him, and the plainest
private was always sure of cordial
recognition from him.
But Stuart and Jones were as oil and
water they would not mix together,

In the Democratic party. the nggres-
siye Nationwide fight on Woodrow
Wilson.eoea on evidently with al Wall
Streets money back Of It, while VIM.
r. Hearst lends his influence to the
same end. Verify, politics does make
strange bed-felIows. The foremost
charge against Wilson iy inconsistency
In that the things he says now, after
some practical experience in politics,
are not wholly the same things he said
twenty years ago. From our stand
point, this is very much to his credit.
Abraham Lincoln once said: II have
changed my mind; know more than /
did yesterday. The masses Of the
people have progressed as much in their
ideas as Woodrow Wilson has.
The real test. too, is not what Wood
row Wilson has said, but what he has
done; and as Governor of New Jersey,
he has certainly accomplished greater
things and brought about finer pro-
gram of constructive legislation for the
public good than perhaps any other
Governor has ever accomplished under
like circumstances. It is not our GUS
tom to take such interest in the candi-
dacy of man, and we do 30 now only
because we believe Wall Street and tb.
big interests are sparing neither tim
nor money in an effort to defeat the one
man whose nomination and election
would insure wise, well-planned and
successful campaign against the great
abuses that have crept into our National
Government-abuses by means of which
these big interests have fattened and
grown powerful. 1t deserves to be
noted, by the way, that the big inter-
ests have distinct grip on many of
our party organizations in the South,
and the people must be alert to prevent
them from delivering the Southern dele
gates at the National Convention. We
should have primaries in every State,
enabling the people themselves to say
whom they favor for President. Pro

). o. p. BEHIND SUPPRESSION OF
WILSON PROPAGANDA?

+.
Representative Burleson Explains in
Letter Why Standpat Newspapers
Look Askance at Wilson and Boost
the Greibund.
Washington, D. c., April Il special.
representative A. S. Burleson, chair
man of the Democratic Caucus and
ranking member of the Appropriations
Committee, has made public the follow
ing letter in reply to constituent who
enclosed number of newspaper clip
pingsin which some prominent reaction
airy Republicans were saying kind words
about certain Democratic candidates
for the Presidency other than Govern
or Wilson. The letter made public by
Representative Burleson, which was
addressed to Col E. M House, of
Austin. Texas, follows:
Il have your recent favor enclosing
clippings of interviews from notorious
standpat Republicans endorsing the
candidacy of certain Democrats for the
Presidential nomination | want to say
that to every thoughtful man it has
been patent for weeks that the alliance
between corrupt politics and big bust
ness, with their control of great daily
newspapers, has effectually smothered
information Of the nationwide. move
ment on the part of the people to en-
ancipate themselves of the baneful
influences which have held our country
in vise-like grip for the past sixteen
years.
'Not only are the privileged element
directing their energies so as to con-
tinue control of the Republican party,
which they will by bringing about the
denomination of President Taft. but
also through the newspapers controlled
by them here in Washington and else
where they are engaged, andhave been
for some time, in giving sly support to
candidates for the Democratic nomina-
tion who. they feel, would fail to COM
mand the entire party strength and
that element Of progressive and patri-
otto Republicans who are in revolt
against standpatism.
''The highest evidence of the wisdom
of naming Governor Woodrow Wilson
for the Democratic nomination is found
in the fact that never a word of COM
mendation of him finds its way into
these interest-controlled newspapers.
Daily interviews are printed in those
papers by shrewd Republican politicians
pralsing this or that Democrat who
seeks the nomination, but IN the hearts
of these men the fear of Wilson and his
strength as candidate is SO great that
never do they mention him save in dis
par agement. There Is an old political
adage founded upon truth: Find what
your enemy wants and do just the con-
trary.' Wilson selection means GER
tain success. The selection Of one who
has been the frequent recipient of
covert support from the enemy means
uncertainty and probably defeat. .
