WILSON AND HIS PARTY

President Wilson can hardly have
been surprised by the discovery that
democratic unity is delusion. He
must have realized from the first the in-
herent discordance of the many and var
iegated elements that supported him in
1912.
Oil and water do not mix. The presi-
dent and his enemies within his party
are as far apart as the poles. Such
harmony as the democracy has so far
manifested consists solely in the presi-
dents having been able to hold his par
tvs representation in congress to the
democratic pledges upon tariff and cur
rency. This was comparatively easy
matter.
The open revolt on the canal tolls
question will not seriously affect the
presidents prestige before the country:
in the end he will have his way. But
this upheavel is of large Importance to
the democratic party in it's revelation
of the fact that forces which supported
Mr.. Wilson under compulsion in 1912
are no more with him now than they
were then at Baltimore.
In the personal side Of this contro-
versy the country is not likely to mani
fest any great interest. Nobody can
care very much whether democrats who
are opposing the president or those
voting for him are retired as the result
of the attitude they have taken, for few
would be missed There, are threats
and counter threats at Washington.
Lay on, McDuff!
The Importance of this split to the
democratic party lies in its disclosure Of
the antagonism felt toward President
Wilson by certain professedly demo.
cratic interests that are back Of the
men leading the fight. Champ Clark is
merely pawn in a big game. These
interests have seized upon the tolls
question because it furnishes a lot Of
good material with which to delude the
"mossbacks" of democracy. White
mouse domlnaClon, Reputation OF
party platform" surrender to Great
Britain"-what fine series of indict-
ments in one single isaue!
Ii there is trouble ahead for President
Wilson and his party, it is due to the
composition of the party. With the
intelligence of the country Woodrow
Wilson was never stronger than he is
today.
Democratic politicians may be
loath to acknowledge it, but the plain
fact is that the real strength of the
democratic administration before tho
the American people rests upon the
understanding of how immeasurably
better President Wilson is than his
party.

KOREA CONVERTED

Omaha World Herald. The conquest
of Korea by the Japanese is neither so
remarkable nor so significant as the
conquest of Korea by the Christians. A
great Christian REVIVAL has seized upon
Korea and the people very generally
are accepting Christianity. There are
33, 600 Christians in the city of Ping
Yeng alone, while Christians are domi-
nant in numbers in many of the cities
and towns. Recently they held great
bible conference, 1900 attending it.
At that conference it was resolved to
send Christian missionaries to Japan.
According to all accounts the relig-
ious movement in Korea is the most re
markable that has occurred in centuries
and differs from anything in all history
There have been cases reported of the
conversion of whole nations or tribes to
the Christian faith, but it was the re-
suit of the king or chief changing his
faith and ordering the people to follow
This movement has been of an entirely
different character. 1t began among
the lowly and spread from them to the
higher ranks. Some claim that Korea
will become the leader among the Asi
attic peoples, for missionaries sent out
by them will naturally have more in
fluence among the Chinese and other
peoples than missionaries coming from
the western nations. Korean leaders
are already telling the people that
Christianity is an Asiatic religion and
not one that was invented by men COM
ing to them from other countries, and
no one dares to deny the statement.

SKIMPY

A contributor to the April issue of
the American Magazine tells the fol-
lowing story:
"A clerk in one Of the grea. jewelry
stores on Fifth Avenue in New York
City exhibited to rich and weary Gus
toner lady's handbag, five inches
square, made Of platinum and fairly
well covered on one side only with dia-
monds. The price was $4,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around, and looking at it from all sides
over and over, he finally said, Very
pretty--really. But ! don't like one
side without diamonds. Honestly the
thing looks skinny rather skimpy.
At an additional expense of $1,000 this
difficulty was removed. =

SETTLERS DERIVE BENEFIT

Settlers in Colorado and other states
where the government is engaged in
reclamation work will derive benefit
from the passage of the bill to extend
to 20 years the time for payment by
water users on government irrigation
projects. The bill has passed the
Senate and undoubtedly will become
a law at this session of congress.
Giving the water users 20 years in
which to make payment will make it
possible for settlers to escape the
hardships which often follow when
the term of payment is shorter. Gov
ernment irrigation projects are for
the purpose of assisting worthy set
tiers to develop the public domain.
When the charges are high there is
no chance for the poor man to estap-
lish home, but with liberal treat
ment there is some chance for him
The present policy at Washington is
to furnish assistance to settlers by
making the laws such that compliance
with them will not seriously handi-
cap him. Laws for the benefit of the
homeseeker will be more numerous
and more beneficial under this admin.
istration than during preceding ones.

characteristic OF the election. It may

ton until matters adjust themselves.

Littlefield had studied the man and
wondered why he hated him so. He
could not even speak ciVilly to him.
Littlefield had been expecting his dis
missaI since the first of the year;
however, he had stuck it out for
Lucy's sake But when Lucy Merritt
went back on him
It was a foolish quarrel, but she
had given him back his ring and told
him she never wanted to see him
again. He could not remember what
they had quarreled about. At first
Littlefield had been overwhelmed;
but then he began to accept it as part
of the grudge fate seemed to have
against him.
And, once he had begun to believe
himself a victim of destiny, he lost
all moral sense. He was alone in the
world, and now that he had lost Lucy
he meant to make amends to himself
at the banks expense.
He had reached the door when the
porter came up to him.
'Mr. Johnson wants to see you,
Mr.. Lttlefield," he said.
There was a significant look upon
the mans face. Littlefield had a wild
impulse to bolt for the door. Instead
of that he stood looking speechlessly
at Jacks. Jacks face grew sterner.
cat once, sir, he said" he con-
tinUed.
Littlefield resolved to brazen it
out. He could see at a glance that
fight was hopeless. He could never
escape with the bag in his hand, nor
could he throw it away, packed as it
was with bills of small denOmina-
tons, which he had carefully, alb
stracted in such a manner as to leave
no trace of the theft until the money
was counted.
He turned and made his way into

years, and he was now drawing a
beggarly fifteen hundred, with no
prospects of a raise. Johnson, the
manager did not like him. Sleigh,
the paying teller, had been with. the
bank since boyhood; he was an old
stick-in-the-mud and would die in
harness there. The road to promo
ton was blocked, and, if it were not,
there was no chance for Littlefield,
with Johnson's emnity.

That Is why doctors have prescribed it successfully for nineteen years in even the severest cases of eczema, letter, rtngworm, rashes and other torment ing, unsightly skin-eruptions. With the help of warm baths with resinol soap, resinol ointment restores the skin or scalp to perfect health and comfort quickly, easily and at little cost.
 Resinol Is also perfect household remedy wherever a soothing, healing application is needed. It contains noth- ing of harsh or injurious nature, and can be used on the tenderest or most irritated surface, where you wouldn't dare use most other skin rem edies.
