Misrepresented and Garbled

so the governor has not only abSo-
lutely misrepresented my position, but
he has actually garbled my very words.
do not charge that he did this in
tentionally-what do charge is that
he misquoted me. and that he omitted
essential parts of my language, and
thereby actually deceived, whether he
intended to deceive or not. We all
recall (and his higher order of friends
are ashamed of III that he attempted
to justify his arbitrary appointment
with the plea that he received adverse
advise from only two senators in Wash
ington. and that Senator Overman,
speaking for the democratic Judiciary
committee, had never wired him a line.
thus deliberately trying to mislcad the
people into believing that he was not
fully advised how wrongful his position
was. Honest Iago! He won't dare to
deny this direct charge. that while he
himself may have received only two
personal kilograms (and surely these
two ought to have been enough) he
knew full we'll what Senator Bank head
had heard from Senator Overmln. All
the papers published it on the day be-
fore the governor made his arbitrary
appointment, and the people on the
streets actually knew it the night be-
fore the day the papers published it.
Deeply Ignorant as the governors enc
mics charge him with being of the
rights and wants of his people, he can't
fool anybody into believing that he was
too ignorant to know about Senator
Overman's telegram.
Tried to Curb Feelings
II trust haven't been unchnritablv
harsh with the governor of the state
even after he tried to do his people
and myself the wrong of preventing an
election which they had a right to. and
which the constitution commanded him
to call and which he didn't call solely
because he was afraid that in such cleo
tion the people of Alabama wouId
choose me for the Senate. The provo.
cation has been very great and | have
tried to curb my feelings az best
could. l am told by mutual friends
that Governor O'Neal has some fine
traits of character, and ] have felt al
least modicum of human sympathy
as | have read and heard the pitiless
storm of criticism that has burst with
increasing fury from every quarter or
his unhappy head as a result of this
unhappy appointment. At this ever
swelling flood of criticism each IA =
pours upon him. he must vividly feel
the truth of that old couplet:
70. what tangled web we weave.
When first we, practice to deceive
Our governor has simply been up
against a situation which his environ.
ment and political connections made
1T Impossible for him to deal with
rightly. The first flop he made from
his originally honest and correct in
tention squarely caught his fins and
each new founder but holds him
tighter in the net"

In So Terrible a Crisis

But I seriously doubt if they would
have admitted the appointee, even in so
terrible crisis as the fate of the tariff
bill, If a mere arbitrary appointment had
been made without an accompanying
prior call fer a special election-because
such would, on its very face, be willful

The home of John Wendt, 1919 Sec

with flowers and plants yesterday, and
besides members of the family large
number of friends and relatives had
assembled to witness the marriage of
Mary Wendt to Henry Ehmke, 2739

but few days ago returned from a
trip to Europe and a pretty romance
was about to be fulfilled. All was in
readiness. There was an air of ex-
pectancy.
Suddenly the couple stepped for.
ward arm in arm, and sweetly an
nounced: There will be no wedding,
for we we're married one year ago
today at Pekin, ILL.,"
To say that the news came as a sur
prise would be putting it mildly. The
assembled guests could hardly believe
their ears. The couple then
explained that they had stolen off to
Pekin and had been quietly married.
They had kept the secret for just
year.

BALKAN MINISTER
ONCE IMMIGRANT
Vopicka, Appointed to Foreign
Post, Finds United States
Land of Promise,

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 5.-Destiny has
played a pretty prank for Charles ].
Vopicka of Chicago.
President Wilson yesterday sent to
the senate for confirmation his ap-
pointment as United States minister
to the Balkan states.
Mr.. Vopicka was born in Bohemia
in 1857. To him, as to many young
men of that time, the United States
seemed the land of promise. Stories
of streets lined with gold" were
heard abroad, so young Vopicka, with
a small store of experience to enable
him TO battle with the world, and un-
hampered by funds, sailed away from
the land of his birth.
Now he returns, if his appointment
IS confirmed, and it is believed it will
be, honored by his adopted country
as lis diplomatic envoy,
His appointment comes at the end
of bitter fight waged upon him by
anti liquor interests.
MI. Vopicka, after a brief business
career here, had gained a smile from
| fortune. The dream of his youth had
come true-he had found that this
was indeed the land of promise. He
h7; become interested in several
brew cries and because of this his ap,
pointment was contested.
But Mr. Vopicka was in the fight to
stay. 1t was a fight that surged
around his heart, where mingled love
of birthland and homeland dwelt. The
adopted country had made a youthful
dream a realization; he now asked
that mans ambition be not denied.
So he became a candidate for the
post of minister to Servia, Roumania
and Bulgaria. Immediately the fghr
upon him began. 1t was carried tt
President Wilson. Mr.. Vopicka wa:
sent for and hurried to Washington
Department officials who met hin
were impressed.
President Wilson gave him tive
two hours out of busy day and Mr.
Vopicka related the story of his youns
dream and his present ambition. HI
desired to repay the United States b.
} service. 1t is believed that the sent
ment pleased the president.
From that time on information com
/ ing from the White house regardin;
the appointment favored Mr.. Vopicka
The fight upon him Jagged and FINAL.

Dear Mrs Thompson: am attend
ing an academy in a small village,
where board during the school
months.
% do you think it is out OF place
for me to accept the company Of boy
friends home from church or from a
class sociable or entertainment?
The boys in our village consider a
girl silly and particular IL he is not
"spoony." Most Of the girls are of the
same opinion, and as a consequence
the girls who are not "spoony" are not
very popular. Some of the boys think
the girls do not treat them right IN
less they allow themselves to be en-
braced and carsssed by the boys.
90 Do you not think a girls lips
are sacred and that it is much bet
ter TO be unpopular and 30 be sighted
than 10 be conscious Of the fact that
you are not worthy of a pure and
noble man? A SCHOOL GIRL.
% l see no harm in being escort
ed by respectable boy.
A girl is better off II she keeps
away from those boys who expect a
girl to be cheap" That sort of boy
will never make a good husband. He
viii always suspect his wife and all
women of being just as cheap as the
girls who allowed him to kiss and EN-
brace them.

But / do not think it necessary to b

such things Some of the jolliest, mos

There is no doubt about grapes be-
ing one of the great favorites in fall
fruits. There seems to be such long
season to have grapes fresh and again
all winter in delicious jellies, syrups,
preserves and conserves, besides the
very necessary and delicious grape
juice which as a beverage for young,
old, sick or well is delicious and whole
some.
They have the advantage of being
very nutritious il we may use that
term with fruit; proteids 1.5 per cent,
fats 43 per. cent, making a total of
2S.2 per cent of food units. Surely
such fruit is worth while eating plenti-
fully while fresh and then there are
all sorts of nice ways for preserva,
ton for use in the future.
Be sure to put up plenty of grape
juice for winter and summer use. If
one is fortunate enough t. have their
own vines the cost is only a trifle
and it may be put up with or without
sugar, although the reader has only t.

that grapes are largely supplied with
natural sugars, so sweetening is really

and pick them from the stems. Mash

Put the juice into an aluminium ket
