Recalling Diplomatic Story Coming
From Berlin.

Providence Journal: When DIR. Da-
vid u. Hill was sent to Berlin as am
bassador to the kaiser because he was
not only a man of wealth, but not
even OF elevated social habits. 1t was
even said that Berlin did not like the
idea Of having an ambassador whose
wife did her own marketing, going
Oft on a bicycle with that object in
view. Much was made of this alleged
attack, and many a patriotic Ameri-
can editor thought it worth while to
assert that persons Of moderate means
and frugal practices were as suitable
as the wealthy Charlemagne Towers
to represent our country abroad.
It is apparent, however, that what
ever was said on that subject, either
at Potsdam or in this country, had
been better left unsaid.
Among the contributors to the re-
publican funds in the rec It New York
campaign. was DR.. Hill, who placed
$500 in the hands of the republican
state committee. The sum is not a
large one, but it was as. much as John
Hays Hammond, Whitelaw Reid and
young Pierpont Morgan gave.

IS GLAD TO Hear
OF ENGAGEMENT
NAT GOODWIN COMMENTS ON
LILLIAN RussELL'S LATEST
VENTURE,

New York, Jan. "A well built
man sat in an apartment at the Hotel
Rector and perSued a newspaper clip
ping. A smile overspread his strong
features as he scrutinized the head
lines: Lillian Russell Weds In May;
Husband No. 4 is Alexander Moore 50
TN May they won't be able to call
me Nutty Nat unless they want to
call her Looney Lillian" laughed
Nat G. Goodwin, for it was he.
Let's see; for me it's been Eliza
Weatherby, 1877 to 1888: NeIla Baker
Pease, 1883 to 1891; Maxine Elliott,
1898 to 1908, and Edna Goodrich, 1908
to 1910.
"And for her it win be Harry Bra
ham, 1879; Edward Solomon, 1884;
John Chatterton, 1894, and Alexander
Moore, 1912. That makes four apiece
and that's why they can't call ne
fNutty Nat without casting aspersions
upon the most beautiful woman in
America.
But say. honest, I'm glad to hear
Lillian is engaged. feel almost like
becoming engaged myself"

the court asking for Q trial OF his
cause. he il confronted with U ex-
penses. The wheels Of Justice will not
revolve without money. and. therefore.
to the moneyless man there Is no open
door to Justice.
True, the Judge is on the bench, his
services are free and the jury is free,
but the Kansas City man makes the
point that what the Judge and the Jury
do is the smallest part OF Whist 70 to
be done in the c Of securing legal
justice. The judge and the jury want
the facts, but the man is too ignorant
to gather and present the facts on his
side and too poor to employ help. he
can not present his cause. and so for
him, because he Is ignorant and poor,
the machinery of justice is inaccessible.
The state is supposed TO guarantee
justice to its humblest citizen. and
make hin. e.ua! before the Levy, but he
is not equal If there is something to be
done tha he can not do for himself.
The court provides an attorney for the
prosecuted criminal when he Is too
poor to defend himself. and in this
there ia a showing of equality before
the law, as far as it goes, but there
are wrongs without number that poor
men suffer in silence for want OF a
publicly administered justice that is
free to the poor. 1t is an old question,
newly raised in the form Of a demand
for a public court without fees or costs
of any kind, and with no barrier thai
makes inequality before he law.

TOM BRAY'S CANDIDACY.
TGrinnell Register.l

In these days the first question that
we ask a man who is seeking our votes
for a legislative office is just what ne
will stand for if he is given a part IN
the making Of our laws. Mr.. Bray as
! sures Us that he will take pains. early
in the campaign to make an expicl'
statement OF where he stands on the
great public questions which are agi-
, tating the public mind. From informa-
, ton which we have we are satfsf1ed
| that Mr.. Bray's platform will fully JUS
tify his promise that he will define his
| position in a manner so unmistakaoie
that all will know in advance just
what to expect from him if he is elect
ed to congress. More than that. 1t
will take an advanced ground. clear cut
and we'll defined lin the line OF pro-
sressive reruhlicanism which he has SO
long advocated.
And 1t will be a fight. 1t was no
pull, but hard fighting which has
brought Mr.. Bray up to the position
which he now holds among the legal
fraternity Of the state. and in the u
ellis of its politicians. Hard fghting
backed by native ability and untirins
industry. Add to this that he has beer
an effective campaigner in elections for
others, a ready and a forceful orator
and it gives a guarantee that he VIII
make a whirlWipd~ race for congress.
He is a fighter for the things which APP
peal to him, and If whipped, he can
come back.
Personally. Mr.. Bray i. a total alb
s%tainer, Of the best OF habits, and holds
the belief, which might be somewhat
out Of place in congress, that a mans
conversation az well as his life, should
be clean.
On account OF his work in nearly all
Of the courts Of the district, he is well
and f%avorably known not only thruout
the Sixth district, but few men have
q wider acquaintance in h state At
large.
But Mr.. Bray has other interests out
side the law. He has a large farm
where he spends much OF his time
| while not engaged in professional work
This announcement a been antici-
; pated for several weeks. While re-
luctant to lay aside his large law prac-
tice TO become a candidate this year,
altho It is no secret nat he has had,
for some time, an ambition to go to
congress, he made up his mind that
it was inevitable that there should be
another candidate in the field for the
republican nomination. AS h present
| CONGRESSMAN has had the second term
| allowed by political custom, Mr.. Bray
felt that the field vas open and lie
seemed to be the man selected by the
republicans of the district to make the
race.
II Mr.. Bray is elected he will make
himself felt in the national legislature
and will be a consistent and tire!ess
worker for the state OF Iowa. the sixth
district, and the city of Grinnell.

Three Mistakes.

(Rev. j. s. Dancey.)
Let me point out three mistakes that
young men sometimes make regarding
their pleasures.
First, many young men make the
mistake of looking to their amusements
as the main source of their pleasure.
No rational being will do that. The
only unfailing, incorruptible fountain
of pleasure must be found not in ones
play but In his work.
Second, other young men make the
mistake of supposing that one Is !
to meet life's serious demands only by
being always serious. No greater lie
ever hid itself away under the form
of an automatic truth. Before n can
be really a first-class worker he must
learn the art of idling. TO learn to
work is relatively easy. To learn 10
idle helpfully is the accomplishment
of but a few.
Still other young men make the mis-
take that they can safely guide them
selves in the matter Of amusements
by consulting an official schedule OF
the allowable and the prohibited. A
really moral choice Of amusements
must be Of ones own, conscientious,
responsible choice.
