in language free from offensive per
sonalities, he placed the blame for the
failures OF the existing national ad-
ministration, where they properly be-
long-on the shoulders Of the maker
and predecessor Of the present presi-
dent
Governor Wilson thus again shows
that he has remarkable way. peculiar
ly his own, Of hitting the mark at
which the people are aiming. He does
It In a manner that leaves no room for
doubt as to what he means to say or
who he IS hitting, and yet he does it
IN a way that can arouse no criticism
on the score that he is not discussing
the issues of the campaign fairly and
honestly and as becomes q nominee
for the greatest ONCE in the world.
Wilson Is daily proving himself more

HISTORIC FIRES.
The Most Hateful Of All, Perhaps, Was
the Burning Of Moscow.

The Most Hateful Of All, Perhaps, Was
the Burning Of Moscow.
A list OF great cities burned would
be a list OF nearly all the great CAPT
tails Of the world. PersepoIis, the
splendid residence OF a long series OF
rulers whose tributary provinces ex-
tended from the Indus TO the Helles-
pont, was burned. with all its pal
aces and temples. Babylon and Car
thage were so utterly destroyed that
their very location has become a mat.
ter Of doubt. Rome was burned eight
times. Jerusalem four times, and.
though they rose from their ashes
The second temple is not like the first.
Athens, Syracuse. Bagdad. Alexan
dris and Antioch now exhibit only a
shadow OF their former grandeur. The
Phoenicians, like the Spartans and As
syrians. disappeared with the ruin OF
their capitals. but the most fateful
coufagration recorded in the history
Of the word Is perhaps that Of Mos
COW,
They talk as II the fate Of Europe
had been decided AT Waterloo" says
De Bourisnne in his memoirs OF the
first empire. IF Napoleon had beaten
Wellington and Blucber a dozen times
II could not have retrieved the reverses
OF the three preceding years. The
truth is that the French Caesar and
his fortune were ruined by the burn
ing Of Moscow. That city was the fu
neral pile Of the great nation."-Ex

The personally conducted and per.

and misrepresentation against Clyde

question the people OF the district are

In a morning. paper appeared
letter written by a man who declares
that he is a German with an Ameri-
can wife. He comments on the high
cost OF living thusly:
81 do not kick, and why? Because
I know how to live cheap. Every.
body who kicks about the H. c. Of L.
is wrong because people do not prac-
tice economy.
81 have an American wife and l
never let her do the buying or cook
ing because as an American she does
not know what economy means and
does not know how TO cook to please
the palate. So. under my direction,
there isn't family that lives cheaper
than we do. We do not spend more
than % cents a day for three meals.
l am willing to fix up a nice meal for
anyone and at the end see him go
away satisfied. The whole meal would
not cost more than a nickel.
"Since meat got SO high 1 stopped
eating 1t and am strong and healthy
just the same.
81 pity the poor kicker born IN
America, where economy is unknown.
do not hear other nationalities kick,
because they all come from countries
where economy is their first lesson

HOW DEMOCRATS KEPT FAITH

New Mexico and Arizona as two sep
arate states: to reduce the tariff
We have kept all these pledges. In
addition, we passed the best labor
law ever placed on the statute books.
We passed the canal bill, one of the
most important pieces of legislation in
the history of the country. We passed
bills to make the life of our sailors
more comfortable and so induce young
men to take to the sea as in the old
days. We passed multitudes Of other
laws of a remedial nature

WILSON THE IDEAL

Distinctly in contrast with the
abusive campaign being conducted by
his opponents, particularly his bull
moose opponent, is the attitude Of
Governor Wilson In his canvass for
the presidency. Governor Wilson is
conducting himself in keeping with
the dignity and character Of the great
ofnce TO which he aspires. Yesterday
at ST. Paul he said:
7 want 10 pay my tribute Of per-
sonal respect 10 the president OF the
United States" said Governor Wilson.
Il don't believe any man who knows
the facts can question the integrity or
the purpose OF the man who now pre-
sides n the White house. II he has
gotten into bad company. Il Is no fauI:

rice and not cook 1t too much. When
l came home couldn't make out what

she isn't Germas-she is American

Who wouldn't be q surraget with
that kind of a husband? AS for the
foreign-born not kicking about the
high cost of living-how about the
meat and bread riots that occur in
the foreign districts Of our cities?
1t may be true that the foreign

Nevertheless they eat the good things
to be found in the land Of America.
When the foreign-born wife OF a for

a day for her family, and complains
because the American mistress for
whom she washes doesn't furnish her
day meal, oae is inclined to think that
the American is0t getting the best

Moreover, in districts where Ameri-
/ cans live, retailers put up prices.
In foreign districts meats and all food
supplies can be bought very much
| cheaper.
Perhaps the American hasn't learn
ed the fine art OF economy in all its
details, but he and his wife certainly
have 8 better time and higher pride

Avoid Waste by the Judicious Use Of
Odds and Ends.
The cook who broils the tough end
Of a porterhouse steak, roasts the ribs
In a roast, throws away the bones and
juices left on the platter by the carver
and discards as unfit for use the meat
from which the soup stock is made is
guilty of wicked waste.
The end OF q porterhouse steak Is
unfit to serve when brOiled. It should
be cut off This. together with the
bone and juice left on the platter, a
bay leaf, three or four cloves, an on
ion, a carrot and some parsley, will
make several cups of bouillon. The ribs
should be cut out Of u roast when pre-
pairing 1t for the oven. These. with
the leftover gravy. may be used in a
similar way for stock.
In making stock the long, slow proc
ess OF gentle boiling extracts the ia
vor from the meat and coagulates the
albumen. Only little Of the latter Is
extracted Therefore the meat loses
but little Of its nourishing properties.
There are numerous ways in which
such meat can be made appetizing.

BIG COAST PAPER FOR WILSON

The Buffalo Evening Times says:
The San Francisco Call. one Of the
leading republican newspapers Of the
Pacific coast, as well as one OF the
most influential papers in the country.
is weary Of the dissension, bicker-
ing and open rupture within the re-
publican party, and editorially is urg-
ing its readers to vote for Woodrow
Wilson.
The Call has not been the only pa
per to switch since the nomination Of
the democratic candidate, but 1t is
probably the most significant change
of policy OF any Of them.
More and more to the best think
ing people in the country is the candf.
dacy OF Woodrow Wilson assuming
that OF the ideal. Each day It be.
comes more evident that in the New
Jersey executive democracy has
made no mistake. From every side
come reports of the espousal Of the
democratic cause on the part of those
hitherto antagonistic. His achieve
ments in public Office, his personality
his policies and his plans are com
pelling admiration and attracting allie
glance. Election day will find a strong
percentage of the republican vote
ranged on the democratic side. The
Call is one Of many great newspapers
that are periodically giving their sup
port TO the man who they know vii
conduct the affairs of the nation alone
lines that will tend to the greater
happihess and comfort of the people
