THE DONKEY AND THE WAR

Watch the Democracy lay all the
consequences Of its W shortcomings
in administration policy since March
4, 1913, to the European war crisis.
The Titanic struggle across the seas
makes a fine cloud Of battle smoke to
obscure Democratic incompetency
just before election. The question
for the thoughtful voter to answer
for himself, however, has nothing to
do with the war. 1t is, simply, what
was happening to the country in the
way of business and financial depres-
sion as the result of Democratic mis-
government for months before the
war broke outf And, answering that
the voter may ask again. how much
worse off will this and of ours be
along this same direction now that the
var is on and the of a
boosted competitive tariu," that
were fast diminishing during a time
of peace, must decrease still further
because foreign "competition' IS
stifled by the conflict of arms abroad.

Hartford. Conn. June 25.-A jury in the federal court tonight awarded a verdict of S4 900 to Mrs. Elizabeth Cur tis Holman in her suit for $50. 600 dam ages against her former husband, Pro- lessor Cranston Brenton and Dr. Paul Waterma of this city, on an allega- tion of conspiracy to place her, against her will, in an insane retreat. Dr. O. c. Smith of this city was made a party in the allegation but the jury exonerated him. The jury deliberated seven hours
 Counsel for Professor Brenton and Dr. Waterman filed notices of appeal. Judge Thomas ordered briefs filed in ten days.
 The verdict coming soon after the supper hour, there were very few spectators in the court room. Pro- lessor Brenton was the only litisant present. Mrs. Holman was in court during the greater part of the day When the judge charged the jury she wept.
 The trial, which has been in pro- gress here for the last sixteen court days, came as the continuation of the long standing troubles between MT Trenton, a former professor in Trinity college and his former wife. The then Mrs. Brenton brought suit for divorce over year ago. alleging intolerable
