PRESIDENT WILSON

The first year of President Will
sons administration has been the
most remarkable for deeds of valor
in the history of the American ma
tion. For the first time since the
days of Jeffersonian simplicity, have
we had president who would appear
in person before joint session of
congress and personally ask that de-
Lucrative body to enact laws suitable
to all alike. How well his sugges-
tions have been received by that
body and enacted into law, regardless
of party, we will quote an extract
the tariff and currency bills which
have now become laws. To show
that the country as well as congress
is behind his measures, regardless
of party. We will quote an extract
from a speech delivered by Hon.
Hugh Chalmers, of Detroit, Michigan,
a great automobile manufacturer and
Republican in politics.
There is a new era dawning up
on all of US. We have come to the
parting of the ways, and we have
taken the right one. | have always
voted the Republican ticket, but l
ask you If Wilson has done single
thing which might hurt a business
man. The tariff has been revised,
as he promised to do, and as we
ought to have done; the currency
bill has been passed, and the bank
ers all over the country commend it,
and in his last message, can anyone
read in it anything but a purpose of
fairness to all, expression of wisdom
Not content with the passage of
these two laws for the protection and
benefit OF the people, he is busily
engaged in solving the monopoly
question that still persists in main
tanning high prices for all commodi-
ties that pass through their hands,
and before congress adjourns we will
have law regulating large monopol-
les. The Mexican question he fell
heir to- upon taking his oath of Of
flee and so far he has handled 1t
with care and to the satisfaction of
a great majority of the American
people, and if war must come, he
VIII be backed by a majority of the
people regardless of party affiliations.
At the present writing war seems i'm
minent, but may be averted by his
cool and logical diplomacy.

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, should
be the last man to rise in such a
dignified body as the U. S. Senate,
and wall against President Wilson's
usurpat;on of power over the legis-
lative branch of the government.
There are SO members in the SEN
ate, representing 4S states, who were
sent there for their supposed ability,
and over 400 members of the lower
house sent there by their constituen-
cy for their known qualities of inde-
pendence. These 500 men are suppos-
ed to possess master minds, and it
is silly and humiliating to his col
leagues, to say that one mind can
control five hundred men, whom the
nation has selected to act as free
and independent President Wilson g
authority comes from his master
mind at reasoning out the great prob
lens that confront congress and his
reasoning is so simple and plain that
senators and congressman realize his
position is just to all classes. Sen
ator Cummins belongs to that por-
tion Of reactionary party that is
dead and doesn't know it.

George w. Musser, chief justice of
the Colorado supreme court has sig
nified his intention of retiring from
the supreme bench at the end of
his present term, and not seek
denomination this fall. This is to be
regretted, as Judge Musser has been
one of the most broad minded judges
that ever graced the supreme bench
of Colorado. His desire to return
to his profession and earn a compel
ence to enable him to sail over the
rough shoals incident to age, prompt
ed him to take the step. In the re-
tirement of Judge Musser, Colorado
will lose jurist in whom the peo-
pie had confidence and one who rea-
soned with fairness, argued with
candor, and decided cases upon honor
without regard to friendship or party

Will C. Ferrill, the Republican edi-

seeing the avalanche coming, under
which he is to be buried this fall
in case John A. Martin is nominated
for governor, is trying to detract the
public mind from that issue by men
tioning ex-senator Patterson as a
probable candidate. Neither Senator
Patterson or the Democratic party
have thought of such thing and
the old Republican political trick of
sidetracking popular candidates will
not work in this enlightened age.

PETROGRAD, oct. 2i-NTany of the
soldiers who were wounded in the fight

declare that the Kaiser was actually on
the battle line and that he narrowly
escaped capture. Their stories, while
circumstantial, are not confirmed by the
War Office, which permits their publ
cation and adds that it has received no
report regarding it from the comman
der-in chief at the front. The fact
that a German general, whose name is
withheld, but who is one Of the favoritc
members of the kaiser's staff, actually
was captured inclines officials here to
believe that the Kaiser really was at
the front
The story here is that the Kaiser
and his staff had pushed forward
when the Germans were approaching
Warsaw in order personally to OBJ
serve the operation of his heavy ar
tillery. Of which he is inordinately
proud. A Russian aviator reported
the presence of officers Of apparent
high rank far nearer the front than

WILLIAM H. HEALD SCORES DEMOCRATS
FOR CAUSING INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION

that utterance of the President where
our opponents go pleading for votes,
the expenditures of the present Con-
gress to date have exceeded the eX-
pendtures of the last Republican
Congress by mere than 100000
000.00 The other nigh. in his Play
house speech, Senator James, of Ken
lucky, did not mention these facts,
neither did Senator Salisbury nor my
Democratic opponent. They knew,
and everybody who reads knows, that
the War Revenue Bill Just framed
was not made necessary by the
European War but by Democratic
waste, extravaganza and incom-
potency. Our opponents in ad-
ministering the affairs of the National
government have spent 100000, 100000
more than their income and they lay
a special direct tax TO make it up.
This deficit was incurred by an un-
paralleled and unprecedented ex-
travagance, yet three United States
Senators and one Representative in
Congress speak to On intelligent
audience in Wilmington and never
mention the matter. The molasses
mentioned in the Presidents speech
of August 18th, 1912, at Washing
ton Park, N. J., caught rhe flies all
right and the flies are now wriggling
around in the molasses, but enough
of them will get out to light in the
voting booths and do business on
election day.
Continuing about this extrava-
gance. take for instance what Con-
gresham Fitzgerald Of New York, the
Democratic Chairman of the Appro-
