This announcement came today
through Commander J. X. Gleeson, of
the Department of the Potomac. who
said that, to his knowledge. practically
all the Grand Army men OF this VI
cinity intended to absent themselves
from the ceremonies.
Commander Gleeson disclaimed any
prearranged intention to boycott the un-
yelling on the part Of @. A. X. vetor-
ans. He said the q. A. r. men simply
had not been Invited. His reason Tor
making this statement public. he ss-
serted, was to controvert the impress
sion he believed the Confederate lead.

men had been invited, and had refused
the invitation.
"So far as can learn" he said

THE ADDED BURDEN OF GRIEF

The field of government at home and
collapse of the whole social fabric

burden of personal grief. The nation

loved wife, The sympathy and pray

IN this hour of probation of soul. We
DO not fear for him. No one who has
papers of the President in the brief
hut fruitful period of his administra-
lion can have failed to note the
marks they bear of a strength which
comes from within. His philosophy
is not the easy theorizing of a ia
yorite of fortune who smiles back at
circumstances because circumstances

built it upon principles of action
which would have furnished foun-
4Ation equally secure had adversely
met him instead of prosperity, had
no been challenged by defeat instead
of by victory. There is one kind of
strength that no human formula can

REPUBLICANS FOR HAMILTON.

Boosters for John T. Hamilton OF
Cedar Rapids for governor are great
Nv encouraged today at compilation
of newspaper comments which shows
that Hamilton is in great favor
among republican and Independent
as we'll as democratic newspapers
This fact is interpreted to mean
substantial trend of public favor
toward Mr.. Hamilton. Among fav-
orable quotations from republican
and independent newspapers of re-
cent date are the following:
If Iowa is to have successor to
Horace Boies, democrat, it is fortu-
nate in the selection of John T..
Hamilton Sioux City Tribune
But if there is to be democratic
governor let it be John T. Hamilton,
the noblest Roman in the party in
the state-Marion Register.
AS man and citizen he (Ham-
ilton) is invulnerable.-Iow City
Daily Republican.
/ The nomination of Hamilton is the
logical solution of problem that
has caused much Sioux

From a democratic standpoint this
nomination (Mr. Hamilton's) is
ideal.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
Mr. Hamilton is of the type of
men who make conscientious public
servants.-Cedar Rapids Gazette.

man the country demands-and
the supply is woefully short.-Wil-

A TIME TO GIVE THANKS.

It would be chastening and bene-
fetal experience for the critics of
President Wilson's Mexican policy to
sit down and go over their criticisms
Of few weeks since. Where would
the world be if the United States and
Mexico were at war to-day?
At this moment all mankind turns
to the United States. Never before
in the history of the race has a
people faced such responsibility.
With the Six Great Powers of Europe
already at war or trembling on the
verge, this nation is the center of the
worlds hopes. The great ships of
the Seven Seas seek asylum in our
harbors; nations facing panic stretch
out their hands to us for gold; we
shall be called upon to feed the hun
gry, to do many gracious deed
needing the offices of the Good Sam
aritan, perhaps to mediate between
bleeding and exhausted foes. And
we are in position to respond to these
appeals, to preserve 100,0OO,OOO OF
our own people in prosperous secur-
itv, because our hands are clean and
we are at peace with all the world.
Suppose we had been engaged in
war of subjugation in Mexico, with
all it's colossal economic waste, when
we were called upon to sustain the
tottering business structure of the
world. Suppose, to-day the whole OF
South America were one red Dlaze OF
Indignation because of our invasion
of the territory of Latin-American
people. Suppose our financial struc-
ture, along with the strain OF the
moving of enormous crops and the
incidental disturbances from over
seas, were weighted with the neces-
sity of financing a costly war, with
all sources of international credit
dried up. Suppose there were no
abode of high civilization on either
Continent no single nation OF wealth
and power to whom the hope OF man.
kind might turn as the abode OF
peace. Is it not time to give thanks
for the patient wisdom of the Presl-
dent?

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c., August To-
Special Correspondence
Wilson's administration has added to
it's achievements of a constructive
nature by the statesmanlike course
followed in the financial crisis precip-
itated by the European war. By
moving swiftly and firmly to meet
each crisis as it appeared, the adj
ministration brought order out
of Financial chaos in manner
that won the confidence of the
business world and prevented threat
ened disaster. By these acts Presi-
dent Wilson and his official advisers
gave added proof that the demo-
cratic party has justified its claim to
being a constructive party. And in
the face of this showing it will be
difficult for opponents to deny this
claim.
The war crisis, SO far as it affected
this country's finances, was precipi-
tated over night. From condition
of viewing the European war as one
which would not affect this country,
other than to bring q larger market
for American goods and produce, the
breakdown Of European credit
brought about situation which
threatened ruin. The dumping OF
foreign securities into the market
