PRAYER AND THE WEATHER

He suggests that there is sounder
piety in accepting submissively sun
shine and rain, even when they seem
unreasonable and excessive. The pc
tition, Give us this day our daily
bread" necessarily involves prayer
for seasonable weather, and Doctor
Jayne submits that 'the thing
most needful is habitual prayer
for seasonable weather" He main.

asking for changes of weather, as we
can see but a little way ahead, and
weather that now looks disastrous
may in the long run assume kind.
l!c- aspect
He finds comfort in the thought that
through the friendly commerce Of
nations the harvests of the world are
ours, and that the price of food,
though it may rise, will not rise to
famine heights, as it would if we we're
dependent upon our own resources

Persistent Rains Cause Bishop OF
Chester to Revive an Old
Question.

London.-This is the month of the
harvest festival but as every crop
in the country has been seriously
damaged, if not ruined, by the per
sistent rains it is not surprising that
a bishop has raised the question of
ought we pray for fine weather.?
In letter to the rural deans of his
diocese the bishop of Chester dis
cusses the appropriateness of harvest
festivals in such a season. says Lon

The persistent rains which lave
damaged our crops" says the bishop,
cannot but revive the old questions,
In such a year is 1t wise to hold
harvest festivals? Can we expect
farmers to give special thanks when
they have so little to be thankful for?'
With our greatly enlarged knowledge
of meteorology, what reason or real
ity is there in praying for changes Of
weather."

Washington.-Book such as those
by Oliver Optic and Alger, which
parents of quarter of century ago
advocated to their children as suitable
reading, have been placed in the
''horrible example" class by the dis
trict public library commission.
The tales and romances that de-
lighted the children of two decades

novels of the "penny.dreadful" type.
The commission bases its condemna-

T WISH AR|STOCRACY
OF BRAINS" WILSON

Los ANGELES, Oct. II. w. Park,
a prominent resident of this city, "a
Princeton graduate, has given in a let
ter recently written by him, view of
the temperamental characteristics o.
Woodrow Wilson hitherto denied the
public. During his years at Princeton
Mr.. Park became well acquainted with
Woodrow Wilson, and the personal le
lations existing between the two mea
are friendly. Mr.. Park describes the
former university president as "a gem
ueman of charming personality.
courteous and scholarly" but he adds:
"As candidate for president, l deem
il only right TO say that not only from
perusal of his published works but
also from personal conversation with
him, know that he is not a Democrat.
is not Progressive, and that if elect
ed he will prove a disappointment to
the mass of the American people"
This letter was in reply 20 a communal
cation from William H. Edwards of
New York, asking Mr.. Park to assist
in the Wilson campaign.
Continuing in his letter, which has
been published in the Los Angeles Tri-
bune and Express, Mr.. Park declares
lndl III personal Win
him Mr.. Wilson made the following
statements:
Il do not believe in democrarcy-the
rule of the many. 1 believe in aristoc-
racy-the rule of the few; but l wish
an aristocracy of brains, not of wealth.
Il disapprove of the Chautauqua
idea, the attempt to give a smattering
Of culture to everybody, which results
in securing conceit without knowledge
Il am opposed to the higher educa-
uon for the common people; somebody
must do the dirty work of the world :;
why shouldn't the children of the work
ing classes be brought up to do the
work their parents are now doing?"
When shown the statements of Mr.
Park at indianapolis, Mr.. Wilson mani
tested considerable heat, but declined
10 make an extended reply.
These amazing revelations of Mr.
Wilson'S attitude toward. the plain peo-
pie, the toilers and workers of the
Imperial Valley press., 1912-10-07

nation, serve to explain his announced
opposition to minimum working wage
for women. They also explain his
apathy with respect to the great hu-
man issues which are such dominant
factors in this campaign.
1t is not denied that Mr.. Wilson is
gentleman of broad culture and high
Intelligence, or that he has established
a record of a very satisfactory char
acter as to the honesty of his admin
istration as governor of New Jersey;
but the fact is more and more reveal
ing itself that he is by training, by
the associations and sympathies of a
life time, an aristocrat and an admirer
of aristrocrats-andn not a man in har-
mony and in touch with the great body
of the common people, the struggling
masses upon whom rests the burden
OF government, and for whom Pro-
gressives seek to secure the rightful
benefits of just government.
The idea that the poor should not as
pire to the places held by their su-
periors" is repugnant to the spirit CT
genuine democracy. That is the ide.
from which the Progressive party has
broken away. The people of this coun-
try need now, as never before, a presi
dent who understands them, who trusts
them, who believes they should rule-a
man of the stamp of Roosevelt And
moreover the situation calls for man
of these qualifications plus experience,
force, courage, fighting energy.
A merely honest man, a merely =
proper man, will not serve the peoples
interests now Mr.. Taft is generaIly
believed to be an honest man, but he
is blind stand patter on the system
perfected and so long operated by the
special interests. Mr.. Wilson is an
honest man, let US grant, but he is a
standpatter on free trade and the
ancient, trouble breeding doctrine of
state rights. To neither Mr. Taft nor
Mr.. Wilson does the human issues
seem to make a real appeal. After all,
Taft and Wilson are apparently very
much of the same type of mind.

That Red" Phil Davidson, the ped

due to intuition which caused him to
