PUSHING THE CORN BELT NORTH

Two SIDES a1sHr AND vaoSe

TWO SIDES RIGHT AND WRoNa.
A writer in the September Atlantic
directs needed attention to . state
ment that is made a. many times by
as many people, perhaps, as any other.
and always with the trust in it, wis
dom as undeserved a. to be truly pa
thetic, says tho New York Times. Tws
persons get into . discussion on some
subject, and, after 4 while the chances
are shat the one of them with the
weaker cause or the less ability 70
support it will try to close ths argu
ment by saying sob, well, there are
two sides to every question: Then
the other, if he happens to be tired of
the debate, or to hold its subject OF
no vital importance, will admit the as
sertisn, with more or less of courtesy,
Ind they part with nothing settled.
Now it is not true that there are
two sides to every question-not true.
that is, except in the never-intended
sense that there is to every question
wrong side and right side A few
have one or two more possibly, but
to the vast majority Of them there is
but one side worthy of the name, for,
of course, the wrong side i not a
side at all, as the word in this usage
is invariably understood.
This is not to declare that truth is
absolute, OF that it is necessary to az
g4e every difference of opinion to an
agreement more or less bitter on the
one hand and more or less cruelty tri-
umphant on the other; it is simply the
declaration that from properly defined
and clearly understood promises only
a single conclusion can properly be
drawn and to admit or to proclaim
the propriety Of any other is to sin
against logic. This sin is usually com
mitted in the supposed interest of
peace, but tho peace thus secured is
poor, precarious thing. and whoever
listens at the cracks in it is almost
sure to hear the fierce growlings and
the short, sharp barks of the uncon-
WINGED.
The "agreement to disagree, -
often praised. simply shuts OF Ger
tain part Of two minds, or personalities
from each other, and that, repeated
often enough, will make strangers of
the closest friends, and hostile strang
efs, too The humiliation of acknowl-
edged defeat in argument, on the con-
! tray, soon dissipates. and the end is
a frmer alliance, primarily, but not
wholly or always against all who
still hold to the abandoned view.
Women-with a good deal Of ex-
cuse, the validity Of which men should
be- the last to deny-probabiy make
or hitherto have made, the false and
demoralizing concession as to the
"two sides" often than do their more
pugnacious, bstause physically stng-
er, mates. That nowadays the women
show a stronger liking for. and deter
nination 10 get settlements that set
tie is most encouraging sign Of the

SAYS WILSON IS
FINE STRATEGIST
Putting Chief Forester Graves.
Under Civil Service Pointed
Out as STRAW.
Star Bureau.
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WASHINGTON. MAR 23.

A lot Of Western senators ami
congressman are up in arms over the
placing of Chief Forester Graves, a
Republican, under the civil service.
The complaint on this score how
ever. is not because Graves Is a Res
publican, but because he believes in
the Roosevelt Pinehot idea Of con-
servation.
Observation-Disclosures we're hunt
ing for his scalp and hoping to have
he Office flied With a man who would
not take for 81 protection so serious-
ly. And even the men VINO are mad
dest over the placing of Graves IN
the civil service are ehuclsling ever
what they consider the clever poll
tics the administration has played
in lodging a fight between the con-
servationists and the anti-conserva-
tionists, such. as would have been in
evitable when 1t came to picking 8
man to succeed him.
A view of the new President and
the new administration, which is in
teresting because it differs from most
of those that have been much typed
lately, was expressed by an Alabama
Democrat here a day or two ago.
Were going to have a straight-out
Democratic organization administra-
ton" said the man. Some people
are fooled by the talk of idealism and
independence that is coming from the
White House. but there isn't any
thing in it. You won't see any but.
Democrats put in Office and yon
won't see any unnecessary scrapping
between the administration and the
Democratic organization. This man
Wilson is a wonder. He's got the
ldealsts and Independents with him.,
and he's going to keep the machine
with him all the way through. You
watch him work, and you'll find I'm
right. Roosevelt played the same
game but this man is a better player
than Roosevelt ever was"

WITTPENN TURNED
DOWN BY GREGORY
East Orange Mayor Tells Why
He Cannot Support Jer-
sey City Executive.


In no uncertain terms. Mayor Julian
A. Gregory, of East Orange, today
made known his disapproval of the
Wittpenn boom for governor
His statement took the shape of a
letter to Mayer II. Otto Wittpenn, of
Jersey City. He declines to meet
Mayor Wittpenn In a conference to
discuss the campaign in Essex county.
1t is understood that Mayor Greg
DRY favors the candidacy of Acting
Governor Fielder.
The letter follows In full:
MY Dear Mayor Wlttpenn:
Replying further to your esteemed
favor of the 18th inst, suggesting a
conference in respect TO your cam
paign in this county for governor,
feel that l should state somewhat
fully my position.
1.-THE State leaders of the Demo-
cratic party feel so sure of the cleo
ton of the partys candidate for gov
eraor this fall that three candidates
have already entered the race. In
the meantime the people of the State
of New Jersey are looking to the
Democratic majority at Trenton to
learn whether progressive legislation
under Governor Wilson's administra-
ton was spontaneous In keeping with
the true ideals of the party, or due
merely to the commanding presence
Of Governor Wilson, and his assur-
ances that publicity would be given
to the reasons for the failure of the
party to keep prediction pledges and
enact legislation responsive to the
wishes of the voters of the State.
IF In three short weeks political
trickery, chioanery and knavery can
make themselves felt as has been
evidenced at Trenton since Governor
Wilson left the next candidate for
Governor of the Democratic party in
this State must have some other
qualifications than the fact that ne
mas been able to build up a strong
political machine. or that he has
never opposed the Governor, the rec
ognized State leader of the party,
or that he Is reputed to have the in
dorsement of certain State leaders.
1t is not sufficient that he decrles
Smith Magnetism from the house
tops, and then enter into deals ana
combines such as he denounces IN
them. He must be a man who stands
for something. and he must let that
something be known; he must take
up the work where Woodrow Wilson
left off, and have sufficient iniatia-
tive, strength and courage to be
constructive leader and not passive
opportunist.
1.-THE people of this State are more
Interested in measures than they are
in men, except as they may look to
the men to make effective the meas
ures.
THE jury reform bill. the constitu-
tional convention. municipal home
rule. the enactment and enforcement
of adequate health laws and revi-
sion of our taxation laws are demand
ed by public sentiment. Until the
Democratic party presents a man,
who. beyond all possible doubt, can
be relied upon to work Tor these
measures. and to discountenance po-
litical practises which seem quite as
prevalent now as in the past, ana
which are no less abhorrent now than
formerly to the people of this State,
there is, in my judgment, every rea-
son why we should look further be-
fore committing ourselves Very truly
yours, JULIAN A. IhhHOlNh'
