PRESIDENT TALKS
OF INDEPENDENCE
AMERICANS SHOULD MANAGE
THEIR OWN AFFAIRS IN WAY
TO HONOR FOUNDERS.
The KNOCKERS
Facts, or Alleged, Facts, Being Given
Out Do Not Always Tally, Says
President Wilson.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Advocating the
undermining of the Declaration OF
Independence iby applying its princi-
pies to the business the politics ans
the foreign policies Of America, Pres
ident Wilson thrilled a huge crowd
assembled In independence Square
within a few, feet of where the origi-
nal declaration was signed,
The president touched on Mexico,
the Panama tolls repeal controversy,
his antitrust program, business con-
ditions and his ideas Of modern pa
triotism. Pounding his fist on the
table on which the Declaration of In
dependence was signed, he declared
Americans today must manage their
affairs in a way to do honor to the
founders of the nation. There are
men in Washington today, he de-
.clared, whose patriotism is not, snowy
but who accomplish great patriotic
things. They are, staying. in Washing
ton, doing their duty, keeping a quo
rum in each house of Congress to do
business. Rand 1 am mighty glad to
stay there and stick by Them" he
added.
Touching on business conditions Of
the country, President Wilson said a
great many allegations Of facts were
being made, but that a great many
of these facts do not tally with each
other.
Are these men trying to serve their
country or something smaller than
their country" the president asked.
IF they love America and there is
anything wrong it is their business to
put their hands to the task and set it
right" ...'..
Eighty-fve per cent Of the Mexi-
can people, the president said in
touching on Mexico, never have had a
right to have a "look-in" on their
government while the other Is per
cent were running 1t.
Now, the American pople have a
heart that beats for them just as 1t
beats for other Millions" Mr.. Wilson
continued. ~ hear a great deal about
the property loss in Mexico, and I re-
greet that with all my heart, but back
of it all is a struggling people. Let
US not forget that struggle in watching
what is going on in front"
81 would be ashamed Of the flag If
we did anything outside this country
which we would not do in It," the
president declared.
Speaking of Panama tolls, the
president said the treaty with England
might be a mistake, but its meaning
cannot be mistaken and he believed
in keeping the nations obligations.
He believed in keeping the name of
the United States unquestioned and
unsullied.
Before the president got his speech
we'll under way the crowd surged for
ward in such confusion that a panic
was threatened. Two companies of
marines and sailors stood before the
speakers stand and the president was
forced to step several times.

SECRETARY NAMES BATTLEsHIP
The Mississippi and Idaho Will Be
New Dreadnauahts. ~


New Dreadnaughts.
MISUNDERSTANDING Daniels an
nounced that the latest four new
dreadnaughts, beginning with No. SO,
would be named Arizona, California,
Missippi and Idaho. The last two
were so named in order that the
states of Mississippi and Idaho
might not lose their ships because
of the recent sale OF two battleships
to Greece.
"rt isn't every day" said Secretary
Daniels as he announced the names of
the new vessels, shat a Secretary Of
the Navy has the privilege Of naming
a quartet of %battleships. With the
newly named battleships, every state
in the Union now has a battleship
named for it except Maryland, Mon
tana, South Dakota, Washington,
West Virginia, Colorado, North Car
DINA, New Mexico and Tennessee.
In the future the armoured cruiser
California will be known as the San
Diego.

Bankers and Help Says 3. n. Rawls.
1.-THE boil weevil has about $50 miles
to travel before it reaches the South
Carolina border and at its average
rate of migration this will require
about five years." said B. H. Rawl,
chief of the dairy division, bureau of
animal industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, in an address on
the boil weevil delivered before the
South Carolina Bankers association
recently in Charleston. On this pre-
mise Mr.. Rawl developed plans for
the people of the state by which they
can better cope with the situation
when the boil weevil appears and re-
duces the cotton crop about 30 per
cent. He told Of the ravages in other
states and drew a parallel OF similar
conditions for this state. His remedy
is that the farmers learn to grow
other crops or to raise live stock, n
that the bankers cooperate with them
by lending them money to build up
these new ventures.
. Mr.. Rawl traced the gradual ad-
vance of the boil weevil from the
time that it first appeared In the
Brazos river region Of Texas, and
showed by statistics the devastation
that this little animal has done. In
Louisiana, for instance, in 1904, the
cotton crop was over 100000 bales
but after the boil weevil had fully en-
tered the state the crop decreased to
less than 100000 bales, and since then
it has not exceeded 100000 bales per
annum. But worse are the figures
for ten counties in the southern part
Of Mississippi! In 1906 they produced
an aggregate Of 262,4S6 bales, which
was reduced in 1912 to 3S,133 bales.
Speaking of the change in financial
conditions due to this astounding de-
crease in cotton production, Mr.. Rawl
said:
"Since cotton has become unprofit'
able, why do the farmers not raise
live stock? The answer Is, they dc
not know how to conduct a live tock
business and they have no money &c
get into it. The bankers are unWili'
ing to lend money for live stock pro-
duction, because they know that the
farmers are without experience In
this business and therefore loans Tor
that purpose would be unsafe.
"You," he continued, "the bankers
of South Carolina, have in your con-
troll the most powerful single factor
for dealing with this most perplexing
problem. It Is the $37,000,0 900 that
you lend annually to the farmers OF
the state for cotton production. You
a require as a condition of these
loans that a small amount of them,
say 10 per cent, be devoted to the
production Of money crops other than
cotton. You can increase their loans
slightly with the stipulation that the
increase and 10 per cent Of the loan
desired be used for something othei
than cotton"

at is a matter Of courtesy, simply"
said Gen. Moore. ~ am aware that
there is a law that does not permit

J. Van Holt Nash, adjutant general
of Georgia, wrote Gen. Moore on June

On their way to and from Augusta.
Gen. Moore was n the campaign

signature. In his reply to Gen. Nash
on July 6, Gen. Moore said:
1.-THE order was returned to this de-
partment by the governor with the
statement that he would sign no fur

THE CLOCK OF THE AEGEAN.

There is no need for clocks on the
Aegean Sea any day when the sun is
shining. There Nature has arranged
her only timepiece, one that does not
vary through the centuries. This
natural time-marker is the largest sun
dial in the world. Projecting into the
blue waters of the sea is large pro-
montory, which lifts it's head three
thousand feet above the waves. AS
the sun swings round, the pointed
shadow of the mountain just touches,
one after the other, number of small
islands, which are at exact distances
apart, and act as hour marks on the
great dial.

ONE SINGLE DAY.

One single day
Is not so much to look upon. There
is some way
OF passing hours of such limit.
We can face
A single day; but place
Too many days before sad eyes
Too many days for smothered signs
And we lose heart
Just at the start.
Years really are not long, nor lives
The longest which survives
And yet, to look across
A future we must tread bowed by a
sense of loss,
Bearing some burden weighing down
so low
That we can scarcely go
One step ahead, this is so hard,
So stern a view to face, unstarred,
Untouched by light, so masked with
dread.
If we would take step ahead,
Be brave and keep
The feet quite steady; feel the breath
of life sweep
Ever on the face again,
We must not look across-looking in
vain.
But downward to the next close step,
And up. Eyes which have wept
Must look little way, not far.
God broke our years to hours and days,
that hour by hour,
And day by day,
Just going on a little way,
We might be able, all along,
To keep quite strong.
Should all the weight of lifes
Be laid across our shoulders, and the
future, rife
With woe and struggle, meet us face
to face
At just one place,
We could not go;
Our feet would stop, and so
God lays a little on us every day,
And never, I believe, on all the way
Will burdens bear so deep,
Or pathways lie so deep,
But we can go, if by Gods power,
We only bear the burden of the hour

land, impressed forcibly into English
service, deserted at Oswego and else
where, and were sheltered among the
Indians of the Six Nations, who helped
them back to their respective prov
inces. Johnson also states that there
are great numbers of these Irish pap
lists" among the Delaware and Sus-
quehanna Indians who have done a
world of prejudice to English inter-
ests.
The Indians supporting both English
and French were guilty of the worst
forms of cruelty, and ravaged the set
Elements of the white man. The New
York Mercury, of June IA, 1855, gave
an account of an Indian attack on set
Elements near Oswego, and among
those killed, farmers and artisans,
were James Flanagan, Michael Muir
ray, John Mitchell, John Jordan; and
the prisoners taken included Thomas
Hogan, James Cavanagh, William
Drewry, Samuel Miles and William
Mullett. The Journals of the Mar
quis of Montcalm," commander Of the
French troops, states that in August,
1856, Chonaguen, on Lake Ontario, op-
posite Oswego, was surrendered by the
English to a regiment of the famous
Irish Brigade, which won the Battle
of Fontenoy, eleven years earlier.
The Irish fought on both sides, and
it was the bravery of the Rangers,
mostly Irish, under Lieutenant CATER
wards GeneraD Stark, that saved Long
Point, on Lake George. This occur
red March Is, 1857, and Montcalm
states that as the Irish in the regular
regiments always became hilarious on
the celebration of the seventeenth,
the French made a night attack, hop
ing to surprise, but were repulsed by
the sober Rangers.
