Wilson's Commanding Personality

President Wilson exercises more
power than any other man who has
been in the executive chair since Lin
coin. Congressman decry his 'tyr.
amy" in vain, for, unlike Roosevelt
he does not exercise any authority
not delegated to him in the constitu-
ton. Nor is his advice universally
followed because men respect his
judgment; there is much questioning
his judgment. BY the subtle, insen-
sible influence of his sincerity and
singleness of purpose he rules the
democratic majority. His command
ing personality dominates a party
strangely lacking in commanding per-
sonalities, and forces the members to
tasks for which they have no stom-
ach.
The practicing politicians among
the democrats want to go home and
fix fences. They think they have
passed enough laws to make a record
on which to ask for another term.
They desire to let conditions quiet
down, so that the big crops of the
west a bring prosperity for them
to claim as their own handiwork.
They want to get out of Washington
SO that the house will not be forced
to put itself on record by a vote on
the prohibitional amendment. But
the one dominant parsonage of their
party keeps them there.-Boston Adj

Removing Dill From Marble.

In shops it is sometimes desirable to
remove grease and oil from marble

struction. An easy and effective way
Is to apply strong I've and quicklime.
Any strength solution can be made as
needed. and. no matter how strong it
may be. 1t will not injure the marble.
The best method Of application is sim
ply to throw Oh the I've. powder with
the quicklime and use some water with
