MISREPRESENTATION is an instinct which
in q great many instances appears 10
take the form of a mania. LIVING
beings recognize without being taught
that life and it's means of support are
their only absolutely essential and in
valuable possessions, and living be-
ings will sacrifice anything, go TO any
lengths of torture and discomfort to
preserve those possessions.
Strangely enough, however, the
more valuable a life is, the less value
appears to be set on 1t by its owner.
Cannibalism exists among the lower
orders of animals; the less civilized
human beings do not hesitate at any
crime, however revolving, when their
lives depend on the commission or
such a crime. It Is doubtful, again,
whether animals ever find life so in
supportable that they seek to escape
from 1t by means of suicide.
Civilized man, on the other mana,
finds death preferable to many condi-
lions of existence. He goes to GER
tain death for the sake of friend or
a fatherland; he sacrifices his life for
his family: he chooses to die rather
than TO live dishonored, enslaved or
oppressed. Personal griefs, mental
anguish, adverse economic conditions
drive many highly organized members
OF society to self-destruction. The
instinct of self preservation would ap-
pear to be blunted as we rise In the
scale of sentient existence.

His friends thought he was speak
ing metaphorically, and that he was
referring to the fact that anyone who
was a candidate for high public office
was sure to be attacked, not only poly
tically. but personally.
But that was not what Wheeler
meant, although I think he would not
have objected. had he been a can
didate for office, to any reasonable
criticism What he had in mind was
this: Twenty or thirty years earlier

what they thought was a perfect
sewing machine. Wheeler went out
into one of the country towns with
one of the machines to show what
it could do. 1t was a town where
there was a good deal of hand-worlS
sewing. The people did not like the
sewing machine. They said it would
take away their means of getting a
living. Wheeler tried to argue with
them, insisting on showing how the
machine worked. Thereupon a mob
was formed, some stones were
thrown, and he found it prudent
speedily to depart from that district.
Wheeler never had any resentment
for those hostile people, for he knew
exactly how they felt. He also knew
that the time was not distant when
good many sewing machines would
be sold to people in that town. He

A RECORD THAT CoMpfENDs ITSELF.
JAMES SMITH. JR.
unaDnNr 1870

That DR. Charles F. Kraemer president of the
Street and Water Commission, who is candidate for
reelection, IL, and always has been painstaking,
Woodworking and efficient public official cannot
truthfuy be denied On the contrary, it is conceded
by all that his efforts in the interest of the taxpayers
and for the Improvement of conditions generally, have
been applied with intelligence far beyond the ord-
nary and with moral courage that commands admi-
ration.
In politics. Dr. Kraemer is stanch- Democrat,
but one who has displayed exceptional fairness
toward Republicans and has attempted to take
undue advantage of his position yielding frequently
when it appeared him that the public interest would
be conserved by the adoption of such a course His
fearessness in meeting and combating issues is one
of his characteristics and for this he has been COM
mended alike by political friend and political foe
The reduction in water rates. the big saving of
expense in the conduct of the water department the
success that has attended his work for the lettering
of Newarks great waterway along the Passaic, all OF
which must rebound to the interest of the taxpayers
and the ultimate development of the citys natural
resources are few specific incidents that go largely
TO the personal credit of the enterprisng and far
sighted Kraemer.
Many other points can be referred to in his record
OF things accomplished, and these with additional
crediable performances, will in the very nature OF
things appeal to the voter on election day DR..
Kraemer has been tried and not found wanting.
Alderman John +. Reilly, who is also candidate
for Board of Works on the Democratic ticket, has
served years in Common Council with credit to HIM
self and benefit to the city He has been his partys
leader in council during the past and as such has
been chairman of the committee finance OF the
Board of Aldermen
Mr. Reilly is well educated a thorough business
man absolutely honest and fair and popular in every
sense of the word.

II suppose that no Democrat in
the State of Connecticut, with the
possible exception of James e. Eng
lish, who represented the New
Haven district in Congress at the
time of the civil war and was after
ward governor and senator, had
more friends in the Republican party
than Nathaniel Wheeler. of Bridge
port. Had Mr.. Wheeler been nomi-
mated by the Democracy for gov
ernor at any time between the close
of the civil war and ten years later,
he would have received strong sup
port from the Republicans. He
would have run ahead of his ticket,
I think, by several thousand
votes"
This statement was made to me
by the late Nehemiah d. Sperry, who
for years was the master hand in
the Republican politics of Connecti-
cut, and who served nearly twenty
years as member of Congress from
the New Haven district. In his last
term he was recognized as the father
of the House.
II will tell you a little anecdote
about Mr.. Wheeler which not only
illustrates the man, but also shows
what the feeling OF the people is
likely to be at the time of the intro
duction of any new labor Saving in
vention," said Mr.. Sperry.
Some of the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party went to Mr.. Wheeler
early in the '70s and urged him to
consent to be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
They told him that IL he would only
let his name be proposed before the
convention he would be nominated

A man in trouble once wrote to a

Some natures never come to them
selves, never discover their real
strength, until they meet with oppo-
sition or failure. Their reserve of
power lies so deep within them that
any ordinary stimulus does not
arouse it. But when they are ridi-
euled, sat down upon," or when they
are abused, insulted, a new force
seems to be born in them and they
do things which before would have
seemed impossible.
1t Is the locked-up forces within
that lie deep in our natures, not those
that are on the surface that test our
mettle. 1t is within everybody's
power to call out these hidden forces,
to be somebody and to do something
worth while in the world, and the
man who does not do 1t is violating
his sacred birthright.

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
OCTOBER 10
Isabella H. of Spain, Edna Dean Proctor

Copyrighted 1914.

One of the most popular writers of
patriotic American verse was a
woman-Edna Dean Proctor, who
was born on October 10, 1888. Her
birthplace was Manchester, Mass,
and a loyal New Highlander she re-
manned all her life. One of her first
poems, 1.-THE White Slave" was read
by Whittier with so much pleasure
that he wrote to the young author,
unknown to him, and asked her to
visit him. "Columbia's Banner"
later production, became popular in
a day, and it has been a fayorite
with schoolboy orators ever since.
1.-THE Song of the Ancient People,"
poem in which she reflects the
spirit of the North American Indians,
is another general favorite.
Another woman whose birthday
falls on October 10 is Isabella H.,
Queen of Spain, who was born
eighty-four years ago today.
She was a woman of strong, If
somewhat unconventional, personal
ity She disliked the barrier of court
etiquette and formality and often
