When the kings of finance, through
the manipulations of former admins

yes, that not only the masses, but
the government was at their mercy,
this man, realizing the great ean-
ger that was Detailing the country
through this system of centralized
power, set about to remedy the evil,
and performed his work SO adroitly
and skilfully that the country suf-
fered no open hostility. The tariff
was also modified with justice to the
consumer as well as the manufact-
urer. These changes that are intend
ed for the benefit of all classes, were
so skilfully performed, that neither
envy or confusion were manifest,
and Mr.. Wilson is respected ana
trusted by political friend and foe

Sundays Post contains an editor
ial that Vim. R. Hearst has sent to
all his papers regarding the prosper
ity and benefits that will accrue to
the United States on account of the
European war, and should be read by
all. Speaking of tourists visiting for
eign lands for beautiful scenery as
compared to our own land, Mr.. Hears
has this to say: Few Americans
know that the Grand canyon of the
Colorado is the most impressive seen
ic spectacle on earth; that the Vel
lowstone park far surpasses anything
of it's kind anywhere on the globe;
that the valley of the Yosemite Is
more beautiful than any valley in
Switzerland or in the Tyrols; that
southern California is far more at
tractive than the Riviera; that the
redwoods of northern California are
the most marvellous and most beau
tiful forests in the world; that
Alaska has glaciers and fjords sup
erior to those of Norway; that the
Canadian Rockies have more extern
sive and more magnificent snow
fields than the Alps. Everywhere
from Alaska to the Panama canal are
wonders that transcend anything to
be seen in Europe, Asia or Africa.
Yet we Americans, who live so near
them do not know them. We do not
realize the enjoyment, the health
the exalting experience to be got
from them"

FACTS ABOUT COMMON WORDS
Peck at First Meant Any Grain
6asket-corpse, Body Alive
or Dead.

Equivocation, a word now applied &C
any evasion, was once understood to
mean the calling Of diverse things by
the same name.
Peck at first meant q basket or re-
ceptacle for grain or other substances
The expression at first had no refer
ence to size.
Starve was once to die any manner
of death. Wyclifre's sermons tell how

chieftain, Abou al Tarifa, who had a
fortress near the Straits of Gibraltar

extant in which the sheriff or his
deputy is commanded to bring the
corpse Of such man into court.
Saturnine is an astrological term.
1t was once used to describe the char.
acter Of an individual born under the
influence Of the planet Saturn, o

proper duty.
Prejudice was originally nothing
more than a judgment formed before
hand, the character of such judgments
being best indicated by the present
meaning Of the word.
A saunterer Is believed by some
etymologists to have originally sig
nif1ed q man without lands, such a
person naturally wandering to and fro
in search of employment.-New York

GREATEST PRESIDENT
4, .!t.r OF THEM ALL

Since we became a republic we
have had several presidents who have
passed into history, as men who
have met and successfully mastered
great issues. Washington surpassed
at the cabinet table the glories of the
battle field and his name has ever
been cherished in history. Jefferson
is revered by his countrymen for be-
ing responsible for equality of rights,
laid down in the constitution Of this
great republic. Monroe will ever be
remembered for promulgating a doc
trine that has SO far preserved the
weaker powers Of this western con.
tinent from foreign invasion. ia k
son of the iron nerve, who had the
courage in 1884 to forbid the secre-
tary of the United States treasury de
posting government money in the
United States bank, a bank controll-
ed by the money power at that time.
His foreign policy was also firm and
successful. and he brought great Brit
ain to her knees over our northern
boundary line, as well as France for
dispoilation Of our national commerce.
Lincoln, who successfully met the is
sue that divided our republic, and
welded us again as one common band
of brothers, before an assassin's bull
let, immortalized him a martyr to
his country.
These men have each played a con-
spicuous part in the formation and
guidance of our country. But when
the muse of history shall record upon
its brightest pages the glorious ach'
ievements of Americas great and
brilliant statesmen, there is one
whose towering genius rises above
them all like the effulgent solendor of
an evening star scintillating in the
blue armament of a cloudless night,
and who at present presides over TIE
greatest and most powerful republic
ever CREATED, the Honorable Wood
row Wilson. This nan has been con-

THE kAIseR,s MARCH.
observers War Editor.)

observers War Editor.)
Out of Belin at break of day,
And Paris six hundred miles away,
Came the blast of resounding horn
On the Silly air of an August morn.
The air was filled with shout and
song,
AS the German warriors marched
along,
Willing and eager to join the fray,
AT Paris, six hundred miles away.
The measured tread of million feet
Came tramping, tramping down the
street,
Their heads erect and helmets bright,
Cleaning hard in the mornings light.
Grim visaged, stern, they marched ON
Liege,
Alert, impatient to start the seige,
With stern resolve to carry the day
At Paris two hundred miles away.
.
Were the dead and dying's doleful
knen,
And the onward march of the Ger
man hosts,
Gave proof their yaunts weren't emp
ty boasts.
And through the fields of ripening
grain,
No thought of grief, or ache, or pain,
With glistening steel they held their
sway,
With Paris two hundred miles away.
AT Namur's forts of rock and steel,
The giant cannons' voices peal
Their angry roar of discomfort,
AS messengers of death are sent.
The guns that spat their venom'd
charge
Were primed for death, both small
and large,
They spoke the language of dismay
To foemen many miles away.
Over the vine-clad hills of Rheims,
Where the light of the ancient city
CLEANS,
THE German hosts with martial tread
Entered the city of classic dead.
And the ghost of Clovis with spec
trail arm,
Bade them desist from sinful harm.
No voice from cannon was heard that
day,
With Paris, one hundred miles away
From under the pail of the lifting
gloam,
Revealing the lines of the Poncaire
home,
And specter alike, the Eiffel tower
Looms far aloft o'er street and bower
The army halts, the seige is begun,
In haste they sight the long-range
gun
That talks to Death, in the morning
gray,
With Paris, only ten miles away.
The verdant banks of the river Seine
May soon run red with blood of the
slain,
For the distant sound of the trrm-
pets blare
Resounding through the autumnal air.
Is calling the foeman for clash of
steel,
Testing their metal and their zeal.
And when all the smoke has rolled
away,
What of Paris? Will she have won
the day?
