WILSON VICTORIOUS.

The election of Woodrow Wilson
for the presidency on last Tuesday
has been hailed with delight by both
Democrats and Republicans. The
election of a Democrat in 1912 was
foregone conclusion because of the
split in the Republican party. Taft
was unpopular with the Progressives
and Roosevelt was running for a
third term, what none of the former
presidents ever asked or received,
The Democratic candidate was wisely
chosen and undoubtedly the strongest
man that aspired for the nomination.
Bryan did we'll in antagonizing the
genial Champ Clark in behalf of Will
son. The former lived in the wrong
latitude, while Wilson was a northern
man who had made a good record as
governor of New Jersey.
At present writing, before complete
returns are published, Wilson has re-
ceived AIS electoral votes and carried
80 states of the Union; Roosevelt has
carried only six states with 1O4 cleo
toral votes. and Taft three states
with only IL votes. Minnesota, for
the first time since its admission to
the Union fifty-four years ago. cast
its IL electoral votes for the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency.
Even Minneapolis voted for Wilson
In preference to Taft and Roosevelt,
though two years ago it gave Taft
1000 majority over Bryan.
Surely Wilson should feel happy
over the glorious victory achieved. A
great deal is expected from him in
the next four years and II he renders
good service he will receive second
term. despite the fact that the plat
form written by Bryan restricts him
to one term. The people generally
reward q good and faithful servant by.

THE MODERN NAPOLEON.

The swiftest general since Napoleon
is Michel Savoff, chief
of the Bulgarian army, who in less
than two weeks after declaring war
against Turkey twice defeated the
enemy in pitched battles and utterly
routed a second army of 100000 men
which was backing up the first. The
allied armies of the Balkans are vic
tors. and the Sultan is appealing to
the great powers to end the war.
The fight on the part of the Chris
tians was short, sharp and decisive"
to use a hackneyed expression, and
the Cross once more floats over the
Crescent. The victorious Bulgarians
and their allies in arms refuse to ne
gotiate with the powers and the fight
is still raging at Constantinople as
we go to press.
On the principle that ITO the vic
tors belong the spoils," the conquerors
of the Turks are entitled to the fruits
of their victory. Germany, Austria,
Russia, France and England should
keep their hands off and let the Bal
kan states enjoy the rights they pur-
chased by their bravery and the effu-
sion of precious blood. 1t is all right
for the great powers to protect the
Christians in Constantinople and 9TH
er Turkish cities from massacres, but
they should let the victors in the war
make terms with the defeated Turks

Gray Streets of London.


The gray streets of London are gray
er than the stone
The gray streets of London, where I
must walk my lone;
The stony city pavements are hard
to tread, alas!
My heart and feet are aching for the
Irish grass.
Far down the winding boreen the
grass is like silk,
The wind is sweet as honey, the
hedges white as milk.
Gray dust and grayer houses are
here, and skies like brass.
The lark is singing, soaring DER the
Irish grass.
The gray streets of London stretch
out a thousand mile
o dreary walls and windows, and
never song or smile!
Heavy With money getting, the sad
gray people pass.
There's gold in drifts and shadows
in the Irish grass.
God built the pleasant mountains and
blessed the fertile plain;
But in the sad, gray London, God
knows l go in pain.
O brown as any amber, and clear as
any glass,
The streams my heart hears calling
from the Irish grass.
The gray streets of London, they say,
are paved with gold;
I'd rather have the cowslips that two
small hands could hold,
I'd give the yellow money the foolish
folk amass.
For the dew that's gray as silver on
the Irish grass.
l think that Ill be going refore die
Of grief:
The wind from DER the mountains
will sive my heart relief,
The cuckoos calling sweetly-calling
in dreams, alas!
"Come home, come home, acushla. to
the Irish grass"

The news of the tragic death Of the
heroic Sisters of Charity at San An
tonic, Tex, was unavoidab.y crowded
out of our columns last week. Before
they persisted they succeeded in saw
ing IS out of 81 orphans under their
charge. The Mother Superior of the
asylum and two other nuns were ma
tives of Ireland; one was born in
France and another in Mexico. May
the Lord grant them eternal rest. An
other Irish nun named Farrell was
perhaps fatally injured by jumping
from the burning building. The dis
patch is given in full elsewhere in
this issue of the Irish Standard
though somewhat stale.

One OF our Irish American contem-
poraries contemptuously calls Sir
Conan Doyle the "son Of an Irish bog
trotter," and why? Because he has
recently declared that he favors Home
Rule for Ireland! Every "son of an
Irish bogtrotter" should respect the
titled man of letters for changing his
mind. His father. Michael Doyle. was
the famous illustrator of Punch" in
his day, and when that London comic
paper ordered him to caricature the
Pope. "the Irish bogtrotter" refused
to do so and rendered his resignation,
The Irish bogtrotter" was a man of
principle. true to faith and national
ity and his memory is revered by ev-
cry Catholic Irishman who knows
anything of his personal history.

In reply to question from a SUBJ
scriber of the Western Waterman
anent the religious beliefs of Taft,
wilson and Roosevelt, Rev. d. S.
Fhelan facetiously says: "They are
all three Catholics. We always knew
mat Mr.. Taft was Catholic. Tom
watson is our authority that Wilson
Is Catholic. But we did not know
that Roosevelt was Catholic until
last week, when the Rock River Con-
ference gave out the news. Yes, they
are all Catholics"
of course, every well-informed citi-
zen knows that Taft is a Unitarian.
Wilson Presbyterian, and Roosevelt
member of the Dutch Reformed
church. Neither of the three djstin.
guished Americans appealed for sun
port to their respective co-religionists
during the contest

In his address to the Pope on be-
half of the Catholic laity of England
the Duke of Norfolk referred to the
temporal power and independence of
the Holy See. The words used by
the aristocratic Englishman have Gre
ated quite discussion in the Italian
press. The fact of his presence at
the Orange gathering at Blenheim
also produced discussion in the
Irish newspapers. The Duke of Nor
folk is all right on religion but all
wrong on politics, and his mixing of
the two ingredients keeps him in hot
water. He is opposed to Home Rule
for his co-religionists in the Emerald
Isle and is a John Bull of the Tory
type.

An article in a recent number of

by Hale about "superstitious Cath

1t is a great surprise to all his
friends, and they are legion, that
Judge Steele, who received the high
est vote at the primary election, re-
ceived the lowest vote on Tuesday for
the bench. Judge Leary, who did not
file against him at all, ran ahead of
him by LOO while Judge Jelley whose
scalp he was after, led the ticket.
Over-confidence and the voting mach
ines are largely responsible for the
result.

THE MAYoRALTY ELECTION.

Wallace G.. Nye was elected mayor
Of Minneapolis by small majority
over Mr.. Van Lear, the Socialist cam
didate. Had Mr.. Gould not withdrawn
from the contest this city would have
had the same experience as Milwau-
kee when Seidel and his Socialist fol-
lowers were elected. Mr.. Gould with
drew too late to enable the city clerk
to remove his name and key from the
voting machines and the result is that
he received many votes that would
have gone to Nye.
We are much pleased with Nyes
victory over Van Lear, not because
We entertain any personal feelings
against the defeated candidate, but
solely on account of the principles
and policies he represents and advo-
cates--principles and policies which, if
carried into effect, would undoubtedly
have proved detrimental to the best
interests of this great city. Had Van
Lear been elected he could not have
carried out his political vagaries, for
though he predicted sweeping vic
tory for his aldermanic candidates in
the thirteen wards, only two of them
were elected-Voelker in the Ninth
and johnson in the Tenth. The next
council will have 10 Republicans, 4
Democrats, 9 Socialists and 1 Inde-
pendent, SO that if Van Lear was
elected he could accomplish nothing
in the way of carrying out his prof.
ects.
The fact of his election, however,
would have given black eye to this
progressive city throughout the en-
tire country and hence it is that Mr..
Nye's election is matter of con-
graduation to the community at large,
in which we heartily participate.
The vote of Tuesday shows that
Socialism has increased within the
city limits during the past two years,
but it is yet in minority. Whether
1t will always remain so depends
largely on the administration Of
Mayor Elect Nye for the next two
years. During the campaign he was
not profuse in promises Unlike his
opponent he did not promise to give
the citizens 50-cent gas, but left that
to the council; nor did he promise to
compel the street car company to ap-
proach him on it's knees, demanding
concessions and privileges which he
would automatically refuse to grant.
He promised to safeguard tho rights
Of the people if endangered by cor
porations and use his power Of veto
in protecting their interests.
The Irish Standard is jubilant over
the election of Wallace G. Nye and
trusts he will give the city an honest
and capable administration. He has
had considerable experience in munic-
ipal affairs and we doubt not that he
is worthy of the confidence reposed
in him by his fellow-citizens of every
political shade who contributed to his
victory.

A fire, destroying six negro
cabins, and cremating a negro
woman, created some stir in the
community Sunday morning.
While the affair is still wrap
ped in mystery, even battling the
officers and Coroner's Jury, the
general impression is that the
house was set afire after the
renter. Ella Barnette, had been
struck in the head, and her in
sensible body left to be consumed
by the flames.
The body was found near the
door, charred to the trunk.
Gilbert Hardy is being held for
the crime.
Gilbert Handy, the father Of
five children, and the husband of
a wife, was the paramour of the
Barnett woman. She was no
more faithful to GilIert, than
Gilbert was to his family. Wal
ter Irving also visited the Bar
nett house. Saturday night there
was a fair. Ella wanted to go
to the fair, but Gilbert objected.
They met at a saloon in the east
ern part of town. Gilbert called
Ella aside, and asked her il she
was going to the fair. She said
she was. There1l be h in
Red Top if you do, !" said Gilbert.
And Red Top viii be in mourn
ing. But Ella went to the fair
with Walter, and came back
with Walter and Walter was with
her when Gilbert came, knocked
at the door, and Walter was told
by Ella that it was Gilbert at the
door. Walter thereupon took to
