Want an Anti-Wilson Speech.

They will try to persuade Col. Roose
in the near future reviewing the his
tory Of the Wilson administration an
to this time. These Republicans would
have Mr.. Roosevelt omit all reference
to the Bull Moose or the Republican
party but devote his entire address to
IN attack upon the record Of Mr.. Viii
| son 5 administration.
They would have him point out the
business depression, the dissatisfaction
of labor, the failure of the tariff to
| square with the antc-elcction promises
and the administration S weak foreign
policy.
The Republicans will urge Mr. Roose-
velt to direct his foreeful utterances
| especially toward the administration :
Mexican policy and the proposal to pay
the Republic of Colombia S25 900 0oe
for tho incident of the Panama revolu
tion.
Republicans in Congress are convinc
ed that discomfort with the Wilson ad
ministration is widespread and that tn,

| been the atterances of q forceful lead

welt would attract the attention of til,
country and greatly tend to unite tn
opposition TO the Democratic party.
At the same time such an effort b,
Mr. Roosevelt would, it is argued he'll
to obscure the differences between tn
Bull Moose and Republicans and en-
phasiZc the necessity of a united dc
fence against the common enemy.
Republicans in Washington are pai
ticularly anxious that Mr.. Roosevelt
should not, at least for the present
take an active part in the eampaie
in Pennsylvania or in other states The
fear that if he Jumps into the fra
now, most of the bitterness of the las
presidential fight may be revived an

position where it will not be able t
make concessions or overtures to NJ

its own is clearly shown in the differ ent types of costumes displayed. In each costume is some rich feature which will influence the entire trend of the winter modes. The following note appears in connection with one of the designs:
 "Of all the interesting costumes de- signed by American designers and ex- hibited at the Patrson silk show some time ago, the one that attracted most attention was one not only of Ameri- can design and fabric but its inspira- tion was also truly American. Our own Uncle Sam's costume offered the graceful lines cleverly worked into this two-piece suit of silk. The frill the collar, the vest effect and the long coat tail are all suggestive of Uncle Sam's coat. The fabric was blue taf- feta."

universities meet and drink precisely as their ancestors did in Luther's time. Lore, sentiment, tradition. an- tiquity-these are national cult. vis- lble in the national respect for learn ing and research. It is no exaggera- tion to say that the Germans are still steeped in medivial thought and habit the proud and conscious "barbar- ians" of Europe. So in the young Emperor they saw nothing untoward or artificial. He seemed to Germans to stand at their head as the very "geist" of their genius, the incorpo- rate figure of the true German valor, armed cap-a-pie like some heaven-sent emissary of Wotan to bring deliver ance to his people.

UNCLE JOE'S MAUSOLEUM
 National Tribune.

With his characteristic frankness, Uncle Joe" Cannon declared that he would prefer to select his own monu- ment at Springhill Cemetery, Danville rather than leave the choice to rela- tives after he was gone. Possessing ideas of his own regarding memorials of this nature, he determined to attend to this matter while he was yet alive. Warned by sometime indisposition that ones hold upon life is uncertain, the former Speaker of Congress took steps to prepare for the future, in so far as the resting place of his mortal clay is concerned.
 The monument he chose has now been placed in position. It is of mas sive dark Barre granite, all highly polished, and weighs 56 tons. The handling and setting of such massive stones was a difficult task, but the transportation from the quarry to the railroad and the final erection at the silent city was accomplished without mishap. The die, which contains the family name, alone weighed 25 tons.
 The monument as completed stands 15 feet in height and ranks as one of the most beautiful and substantial in the cemetery. In simplicity of design it is in harmony with the well-known characteristics of Representative Can non. It occupies beautiful lot, ad- joining small lagoon.
 Of course, all this was planned and carried out after "Uncle Joe" began his two-years vacation. Now he is coming back to Washington and seems to have less use for that marble mau- soleum than ever.

GERMAN WAR SONGS The English Review

This intellectual sentimentalism, which the Kaiser found is so easy to play upon, is revealed in the grandeur of their martial songs and the rever- ence with which they sing them. Die Yacht am Rhein," "Zwei Grenadiere," Deutschland uber Alles," "Heil Dir i'm Siegeskranz"-these are no ordi- nary songs of patriotism. They are pregnant with old German thought and tradition. Like the melody of the Lorelei, they reflect the deep roots of German romance, of German thwart- ed loves and ambitions; they are the living voice of the old Gothic cathe- drals. No country in the world has such cherished traditions as the Ger mans. There is quality in their mu- sic which seems to spring out of mem
 ories of the soil, of the castles, of the
 Father Rhine. The students at the

crED CORN MAY BE BET TER GRADED BEFORE
 EARS ARE SPELLED

Seed corn may be graded better be- fore the ears are shelled than after wards. The departments specialists in corn investigations consider it diff fcult to grade shelled corn satisfac- torily.
 If the seed ears vary greatly as to size of kernel they should be separated into two or three grades according to size of kernel. These grades should be shelled separately, tested in the corn planter plates that are found to drop them most uniformally. These arrangements can be completed before the rush of spring work begins. !,
 The first operation in properly she'll ,inp seed corn is the removal of the small kernels from the tips of the ears and the round thick kernels from the butts. The former are less pro- ductive than the other kernels of the ear. The round butt kernels are as productive as the other kernels of the ear, but do not plant uniformly in a planter.
 Smelling seed corn carefully by hand is profitable. The grec ter the acre. age planed the greater profit. Into shallow pan or box each ear should be shelled separately, rejecting any worm-eaten or blemished kernels. If the supply from the one ear appears good and contains no poor kernels, 1t is poured into the general supply and another ear shelled in the same way.

Working in Jail for a Cent Day


 In December American Magazine John A. Moroso, well-known New York newspaper man, writes thrill ing Christmas Story about an ex-con- vict named Jerry Gottlieb. The name of the story is "Alias Santa Claus" and in the following paragraph appear some of the facts about Gottlieb: His second long term for burglary put the crimp in Jerry Gottlieb. His first term had been ten years, but his second had been twenty. He had slaved in the hell-hoe called Sing Sing on a wage of half a cent a day for the first ten and cent day for the second long stretch Of twenty. The reason for the. increase in prison pay was that conscience began to stir among those politically appointed prison-keepers and superintendents who are given charge of the defectivs of the State of New York.
 with an income of one cent day it conceivable that no large amount of money can be put by for the long, dim stretch of the road of life between the breaking of a mans strength and the time of his dissolution. Even bur glars must cast about for a corner to die in. Then, too, there were fines to be paid out of this money-and graft. The cells of the older part of Sing Sing are so narrow and so dark and foul that man would give his soul for one night of sleep in the old chapel which has been turned into a dormitory. The price for the privilege of breath ing in sleep was high. Gottlieb was getting old when he had served the twentyeighth year of his prison life and so he paid out his hoard and was moved to the chapel dormitory. When he left prison for the second time he was an old man, penniless and friend less"
