NOT ELIGIBLE.

Gov. Wilson has not Joined the
knights OF Columbus. Gov. Wilson
will not join the knights of Columbus.
Even II he wished to join that organi.
cation he could not. He is not eligible.
We say this for the Information and
comfort OF Thomas E. Watson, OF At
lanta Ga. In its issue of Oct 13 the
Times said that Gov Wilson Joined
the New York chapter of the Knights
of Columbus at dinner In celebration
of Columbus day on Saturday eve
ming. Joining the Knights at dinner
commemorating the discovery of
America is not exactly the same
thing as entering the membership OF
the organization. If Mr.. Watson of
Atlanta, being invited to dine at a
friends house, should linger with the
gentlemen at the dinner table for
cigars and conversation, he might
thereafter join the ladies, but that
would not make him one of them.
Yet Mr.. Watson, totally misunder.
standing and misinterpreting the re.
port of the Columbus day dinner, per.
mitted himself to be scared quite Out
of his wits at the notion that Gov
Wilson had become a knight of Co.
lumbus, with all that that. implies,
and he thereupon made the important
announcement that he could no longer
support the governors candidacy. We
hope he will be req 'sured, be Gained.

Enormous Dividends of Thread

Cotton thread pays an import duty

however, that practically all the CAPT

GEN. GRANT'S'SO
IS FOR WILSON
In Open Letter He Says Issues
This Year Are Similar to
Those of 1860.
PRINCIPLES FATHER UPHELD
Same Problem Today, Writes Jesse r..
Grant, In Choosing Between People
and the Interests.

Jesse r. Grant, son of General Ulys-
SEES s. Grant, commander in chief Of
the Union army in the Civil war and
Republican president Of the United
States from 1869 to 1877, links the
generation OF war veterans and the
young voters OF today in the follow
ing appeal, made public by him at his
home in New York
To the Voter, Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 5th Of November
issues Of momentous Importance to
the future Of the United States. Shall
the old order of things continue? Shall
our economic life be determined-shall
our government continue to be domi-
mated by the thoughts, the desires and
the interests of those who have been
the principal beneffciaries of that gov
ernment's patronage or shall the pow
er of government be handed back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
1t was similar issue f1fty-two years
ago, when there arose from out of ILL
nos new leader, who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights, whose thoughts were not the
old thoughts, whose vision of justice
had not been clouded by association
with the ruling interests.
We are at the threshold OF a new
period Of transition. Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead?
Shall we elect to follow men who,
while clothed with official power, nur.
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo.
ly and make US live under 1t the rest
Of our lives?
The New Leader.
Or shall we call to leadership a new
man from the outside, from the ranle
Of the people, in sympathy with thei1
lives and their ideals, holding theil
viewpoint, consecrated to their serv,
ice? Such a man is Woodrow Wilson
AS son of the soldier who fought
to uphold the principles for which
Abraham Lincoln stood and as q son
of Republican president, can zee
only one duty for myself-to give
heartily my influence and my vote fol-
principle and not for the name Of .
party long since divorced from it,
sympathy for the common man.
Verify, ! believe that the prineipI
for which Woodrow Wilson 10 fighting
are the prineipies for which my fathss
fought, and that no alone among the
presidential candidates measures Up t.
She staadards :o& courage, conscience
and capacity Of tho Ieadsr whose hane
my father helped to uphold.
Old voters, a. we'll a. new, l beg OF
you not to be deceived by names and
prejudices. Open your minds to the
truth and vote in it, light.

Interest must not fight against interest. There
must be a common understanding and free ae-
tion all together.
The reason that I feel Justified in appeal
ing to the voters OF this country to support tho
Democratic party at this critical juncture in
its affairs is that the leaders OF neither Of
the other parties propose to attack the problem
of a free government at its heart. Neither PRO-
poses to make fundamental change in the policy
Of tho government with regard to tariff duties.
1t is with both of them in respect Of the tariff
merely q question Of moro or less, merely ques-

a little there: while with the Democrats 1t is

either Of tho other parties propose riously to
disturb tho supremacy Of the trusts. Their only
remedy is to accept the trusts and regulate
them Notwithstanding the fact that most Of tho
trusts are constructed as to insure high
prices, , because they are not based upon effic1-
ency but upon monopoly. Their. success lies In
control. Tho competition OF more efficient CONE

thority, however eminent, can reason
ably ask that we accept the theory.
Now, according to facts, the panic
which was commonly known as that
OF 1893 might very properly have been
known as that of 1890 or 1891, because
It was under the Mckinley tariff bill.
which became q law on Oct. 6, 1890,
that the first signs OF this disturbance
appeared.
On Nov. II, 1890, Barker Bros.
bankers, ~ Philadelphia, suspended
With liabilities OF $1,000; 900, and the
clearing houses OF both New York and
Boston voted their certificates to
banks In need of assistance. There
were other big suspensions and fail
ures, in this, year and the. NEXT .,y
In 1892, while the country vas stu
under the Republican administration
and . Republican tariff law, strike att
er strike broke out a. . result of the
vorkinEmen's attempt to resist reduc-
lions In wages, and these strikes cul-
minated in the great Homestead
strike and riot. In other words, the
panic OF 1893 was we'll under way
when Cleveland came into Office.
Under the same tariff law in 1898
there were more than $1,000 failures
in the United States, involving losses
amounting to $346,o00.000.
. On the other hand, after the Dem.
hoH ~ Of In
1894 the number Of failures fell to
$4,000, and the amount involved fell
to STE, 100000, or less than half. In
1895 the number Of failures was near
ly 1000 less, and the amount involved
remained about half. There we're more
failures than this in 1911 under Taft
(13,44D.
iIr. Wanamaker is silent regarding
the Republican panics of 1873 and
1907.
In view of the facts, then, is Mr..
Wanamaker justified in his appeal?
Do not the facts prove quite the op-
posite OF his contention?
There is another matter, in my opin-
ion very important, for us as business
men to keep in mind, and that is the
bearing of the coming election upon
the development Of better basis of
credit. The Republican tariff and Re-
publican policies have fostered great
concentrations of capital in monopo-
lies and trusts.
Upon this great question also Gov
ernor Wilson is entitled to our sup
port. Mr.. Roosevelt favors the reeog-
milton of monopolies as inevitable, and
this is logical, as he favors con-
trolled continuation of the conditions
under which they have developed. Mr..
Taft is against monopoly, but he is for
q continuation of the laws which have
brought them into being. Governor
Wilson, alone Of the candidates, has
taken . consistent position for the
preservation Of the individual In the
business world, he alone Of the candi-
dates is pledged to legislation which
will prevent such financial confeder-
acies az now control the business and
credit Of the nation.
Therefore, being convinced that
prosperity now awaits only stable con-
dnions and . proper basis Of credit,
4 am firmly Of the opinion that We, %
business msn, should work and vote
for Governor Wilson.

BRICK REPORTED
PREFERABLE

Mayor Joseph A Cohen made a
flying trip to Fond du Lac and
Sheboygan and returned Thurs
day evening. The mayor went
to these cities to look into the
matter of paving material and
construction. In both places he
learned that the brick paving
has given entire satisfaction and
is practically indestructable. In
the opinion of the city engineers
of the cities mentioned, brick is
the most economical material to
use on streets where there is
heavy traffic as it outwears all
other paving materials. While
the first cost of brick paving
may be higher than for some
other materials, the fact that it
outWears all other materials and
requires less repairing makes the
ultimate cost to the city a great
deal less. A number of people
have expressed themselves as
wishing that the council would
start in right and use brick on
the contemplated paving.
