SKETCH OF THE LIFE
OF WOODROW WILSON
CONTINUED from page two)

ernor Wilson simply reminded them
OF the pledges contained In the plat
form on which they secured their Of
flee, and that it was not their will but
the peoples they were there to carry
out.
If this argument did not suffice to
bring them into line he would offer to
90 to them into their respective dis
tricts and debate the matter before
their clients.
After coming in contact a few times
with such a will and character the re-
calcitrant members threw up their
hands and told the Governor to go as
far as he liked--they would oppose
him no further.
Then the New Jersey Legislature.
mastered by its Governor, proceeded
to enact reform measure after reform
measure, and before it had concluded
its first session under Governor Will
son it enacted into law such progress
sive measures as "The Corrupt Prac.
tees Act" the Employers Liability
Act most excellent Public Utilities
Act Municipal Commission Govern
ment Law, which gives any city in the
State the right TO adopt a commission
form of government if it so desires,
and the Sterilization of Anti-Procrea-
ton Act.
But the fight the Governor had with
the reactionaries in the Legislature
was as nothing compared with the one
he had with the big bosses as soon
as he crossed the personal ambition
of Senator James Smith, Jr.
The latter was the biggest bi-parti-
san boss in the State. He had repre-
scented New Jersey in the United
States Senate and he wanted to do it
again.
In the State primary election, how
ever, James MARITIME had received
large majority of the votes in the
State, Smiths name was not on the
primary ballot. He had neglected to
put it there, thinking that when the
time came for the Legislature to elect
a senator all he would have to do
would be to notify that body that he
desired to go to Washington ard the
thing would he done
But again the Governor stepped in
with his masterful win again he re-
minded the Legislators that the people,
at least a majority of Thorn. had he.

The testimony of other witnesses
indicated that John d. Knadler was
up and roaming around the country
all night, colored man living about
two miles away, testifying that Kna-
dler was at his house at O'Clock
Tuesday morning to get some oil for
his lantern, being out coon hunting
he said.
Daniel Fraley a relative of the de-
ceased said that he was the first one
to answer John Knadler's call to
come down TO the water trough and
help him carry his father to the
house, he being dead. Witness told
that when he went down and saw the
dead body of Nan" Knadler he said
We'll John, you have killed the old
man at last" Witness said John new
er answered him a word. Then the
two and several others helped to car
ry the dead man to the house, cou-
PIE hundred feet away.
John d. Knadler, accused of killing
his father, was called to the stand.
He denied striking his father blow
that would have killed him and said
he did not see his father after they
had the fight in the kitchen Monday
evening at supper time, till he found
his lifeless body lying across the wa
ter trough about O'Clock the next
morning.
After the witnesses were all exam
ined the coroner's jury deliberated
quite while, and at $50 o'clock re-
turned the following verdict:
Son Responsible
I'VE, the jury believe that from
the evidence adduced that the
death of NJ M. Knadler was caused
from strangulation produced by
blow or fall, and from said evidence
we believe his son, John D. Knadler,
is responsible for his death"

ORIGIN OF THE CRESCENT
Was Once Emblem Of Byzantine EN-
pire and Eastern Church--Now
Regarded as Mohammedan.

London.-Though now regarded rs
essentially Mohammedan, the cres-
cent was Christian In its origin. A
crescent moon was the emblem of the
Byzantine empire and the eastern
church, and the Turks adopted it as a
badge of triumph after the capture of
Constantinople in 1853.
With reference to the crescent the
story of the origin of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is worth recalling
1t arose in the sixteenth century when
the Turks were besieging Vienna, and
failing to carry it by assault began
to drive mines under the walls. At
that period the city's bakehouses were
in the walls under the fortiflcations,
and when the mines were almost
through the sound of the work was
heard in the underground bake houses
and the alarm given. 1t was to cele-
brate this event that the bakers adopt
ed the Turkish emblem as the shape
in which the make their bread

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible Ia
constipation and their more delicato
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief. but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name of
DR.. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin, Is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night win bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for
brief period, will so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, II any,
further need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
procured in any drug store. Your

Refusal Of Greece Interpreted In Some
Quarters as Meaning That Hos

Greece did not sign the paper. AS
far as the signers in the armistice are
concerned. Greece is left to continue
the war against Turkey, should such
action be desired.
The plenipotentiaries met at the
same place where negotiations have
been proceeding for several days
near the Tchatalja lines. The allies
made one or two fresh proposals.
These were transmitted to CONSTANT
nople and a delay of several hours
was necessary while the reply was be-
Ing considered in the Turks capital.
About in the evening the response
came and an armistice was signed.
1t is understood that the Greeks ad.

the surrender OF the Turkish troops

Mitylene and the surrender Of Janina
but these were not conceded by Tur

The fact that Greece has not signed
