covered his prize in Woodrow Wilson, but he now admits, more in sorrow than In anger, that he has been fooled Will sons demonstration of ingratitude to his friend and political mentor. Colonel Har- vey. has caused the great Kentuckian bitter day. The colonel has turned his eyes elsewhere. in direction away from New Jersey, for the man to lead. So endeth the boom of Wilson, the wiser ones prophecy, slain by the Prncetonian himself
 Philadelphia Press. Col. Henry Waiter son has weighed Governor Wilson in the balance and found him wanting. MT. Watterson knows. He has been demo- cratic journalist for half century, in- cluding the time he spent publishing a paper inside of the Confederate lines. He is from Kentucky He knew Tilden and agreed with him, and he knew Cleveland and disagreed with him. He is the mentor and sage of the democratic party. He can tell a democratic candidate as far as he can see him.
 Governor Wilson, Colonel watterson concludes. is rather a schoolmaster than statesman
 Washington Star: The grooming of Woodrow Wilson for a political career was accounted at the start a Wall street naneuver. As a disciple of Mir. Cleve- land. and one who had both spoken and written severely against Mir. Bryan and Bryanism. he was suggested for leader of forces to turn the democracy back to it's old camping ground. But, instead, as soon as installed in office at Trenton with Washington looming up, he went over body and brooches to Bryanism, and talks more radically today than MT. Bryan himself. A more complete change was never made by man seeking high political office in this country. It has cost him heavily in the east.
 AshevilIe CN @ Citizen: Two months ago the Citizen expressed a fear that Gov ernor Wilson was talking too much, and it pointed out the fate of several men whose promising careers had been sud- denly blighted by i'll judged utterances. Tt is such a pity that men of brains and education will persist in digging their own graves. There have been so many examples in the world where men have
  talked themselves to death, and here in our owr country the waysde is strewn with the wreckage Never were mans pros poets for the presidency so bright as were those of the New Jersey govrnor. Until I he evinced a. nature which we have never suspected him of his road was almost clear. Now--it is to weep.
 Atlanta Constitutions: More than any other American periodical or publication, Harpef's Weekly has been the champion, guide and especial friend and patron saint of the Wilson propaganda, originally as a candidate for governor of New Jersey and afterward presenting him to the coun- try for the presidency. f1f
 For all these reasons, for the close friendship once existing between the men, for the fact that Colonel Harvey of all men in America. has a prior lien upon the gratitude and confidence of Gov ernor Wilson. it is to be hoped the re- port will in some manner prove to be mistake. By whatever motives actuated from whatever source advised Governor Wilson can be left in none ..EaF caf an extremely unpleasant lis a g. status as it now exists, and les cgeak@ upon bis own initiative.

from the Washington Post
 With the fight raging among lead ing democratic candidates for the pres idency, the candidacy of oscar Un- derwood, leader of the House, is pro- gressing steadily and gaining in strength every day" was the remark of Representative William Richardson of the Eighth district of Alabama at the Raleigh. MT Underwood is safe from attack from any side, and I be-
 ieve, with the people of Alabama, that our candidates chances have been greatly strengthened in the last few weeks. Alabama is going to Balti- more with the determination to stick to Representative Underwood from the first ballot. believing that when the convention finds it cannot get the neces- sary two-thir,ls vote for another candi- date, 1t will turn to Representative Underwood as the most available man. The fact that Representative Under wood is a resident of Alabama is not going to injure his chances. I honestly believe that the great American people have passed the period when sectional feeling operates against the political ambition of any citizen. whether he be of Alabama or of NewBYork.
 'Besides Alabama. Representative Un- derwood will have in the Baltimore con vention the votes of Georgia, Missis- sippi. South Carolina, and probably Tennessee--a pretty good showing, think Understand. our Alabama dele- tra mo oh f to me that, of the other aspirants for the nomination, Speaker Clark is the strongest He and Representative Un- derwood are the men who have borne the burden of the battle, and have led the democratic party to victory in the House. Speaker Clark is a strong, able and wise leader. It is my opinion fair will finally react in favor of the New Jersey governor. I do not mean to say that I in any way favor Gov ernor Wilson's candidacy l do not. A democrat of my understanding cannot stand for the initiative and referendum and recall"
 Representative Richardson who has been in the House for 12 years, will face opposition for the first time since he came to Congress, but his friends declare that he need have no fear, with his record of service in the House as an indorsement. Representative Rich ardson has been one of the active demo- erats in Congress, and is chairman of the committee on pensions, and a mem Der of other important committees.

The Duke a Grand Master

His Royal Highness the Duke of Con- naught, now serving as governor general of Canada, Is grand master of Masons in England, and as he has long taken an active part in Masonic affairs it is probable that on his next visit to the United States he will be formally enter country" said a man who was made Mason 40 years ago, and who keeps in touch with the craft in Great Britain.
 While the late King Edward was Prince of Wales he was grand master of the grand lodge of England (mother grand lodge of the world), but on his accession to the throne he gave up the headship of the fraternity, and his brother, the Duke of Connaught, was elected grand master in his stead.
 Some people seem to think that a royal grand master is elected for life, but that Is not so. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, filled the office for 25 years or more, but it was by a regular election of grand lodge held annually. The Duke of Connaught has been reelected annual ly ever since he was chosen grand master. When his brother presided over the grand lodge the duke was a provincial grand master, and as such made many Masonic addresses. He holds membership in all the branches of Masonry, and possesses the thirty-third degree of the Scottish rite. In England the high degrees are limited and are extremely exclusive. There are only nine active thrty-thirds form ing the supreme council, and the Duke of Connaught is one of them"

NOT WORRYING.

NOT WORRYING. He little cares How the world may roll L Who goes his way With a singing soul. The flowers bloom, He thinks, for him, And the stars in the sea Of heaven swim. And the sun leaps up From the shades of night Just to fill his heart With sweet delight. Oh, what are the cares That the days may bring? He still can hear
 The joy hells ring. The rain on the roof Such music makes, He gladly sleeps T And as gladly wakes, And the blizzard's s roar Just seems to say, You'll soon be abroad In the fields of May!"

Baltimore As Convention c,,v

Only. one national democratic conven- ton has been held in Baltimore since the war, but it was a great convention city up to and including 1S6O.' said an old democrat. "The first convention was held there in 1892. when Andrew Jackson was nominated for his second term.
 Tn 1872, as many men now living re- call, the democrats decided not to make nomination, but the convention ndorsed Horace Greeley, the candidate of the lib- eral party. Baltimore hasn't as many fine hotels as are usually found in cities of very large size, but Washington being close neighbor-45 minutes by train many of the delegates and visitors to the convention will sleep in the national cap ital.
