AS Told In Democratic
Campaign Book.
PRAISE IS GIVEN PRESIDENT
For His Magnificent Manage.
ment Of National and
Other Affairs.
THE COUNTRY II WITH WILSON

Washington, Oct. 3.-The Dem
ocratic textbook, which has just
been issued by the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee. is
meeting with an enthusiastic recep-
| ton. Democratic members of Con-
! gress, in praising 1t highly, refer to
the facts attractively presented In
the volume as telling story of
achievement rarely possible for any
party after an administration of less
| than two years.
Scattered freely throughout tho
| book, i'm order to emphasize the fact
that praise for President Wilson is
not confined to members of his own
party, are quotations from different
Republicans expressing strong admi-
ration for the Democratic leader and
qualification as result of successes
achieved by him. The support of
Democratic measures by Republic
ans, testimony to the worth of these
measures, also is given attention.
That the interest of the farmer in
all sections of the country has been
i'm the minds of the Democratic lead
ers is emphasized by references to
the prompt action of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo in so placing
emergency currency as to facilitate
the moving of the crops and accom-
modate the crop movers. Secretary
Bryan's contribution to the cam
paign book is an article describing
the economic reforms under the
present administration.
Naturally, the story of President
Wilson's triumph In connection with
his handling of the Mexican affair is
given considerable space. 1t is point
ed out that the country has approx
ed the course of the President in
this connection more emphatically,
possibly, than it has ever approved
years with reference to any partic-
ular proposition.
Secretary Bryan also in this book
tells the story of the negotiations
leading up to the signing of peace
treaties with twenty-siX nations. The
Federal Reserve act, the trust legis-
lation, the new tariff law and other
outstanding accomplishments of the
Democratic administration are treat
ed i'm a strong way.
Democratic leaders express the
view that this campaign book will
go far toward assisting the Demo-
cratic committee to roll up big Dem
ocratic majorities in November.

Herbert Bye, of this city. 30 years
old. an Englishman by birth, was
before Judge. Sears In the District
Court to-day con a charge of non

"My husband goes to bed every
night at . o'clock" Mrs. Bye told
the Judge "If J have not been in
the bedroom at that hour he has
locked the door and refuses to admit
me. He has been wearing a belt
with tacks sticking from it. and sew
eral times I have been cut by the
points
Bye admitted he has been using a
tack belt, but pleaded extenuating
circumstances. Judge Sears asked
an explanation and Bye said:
81 have to rise early. and my wife
has been in the habit of going to
bed after ! have gone to sleep. Then
she would bump against me and my
sleep was frequently interrupted.
81 got a piece of leather betting
and hammered tacks through from
the inside, so the points protruded.
After ! began wearing it my wife
stayed on her own side of the bed.
Several times my wife has been
angered and has tried 10 choke me, V
concluded Bye.
Judge Sears told Bye he had act
ed like six-year-old child and ad-
vised arbitration.
81 am willing" was Bye's reply,
IF my wife will apologize for dis
obeying my order not to go walking
with her mother"
Mrs. Bye was ready TO apologize,
but the Judge advised her that it
would not he necessary. Moreover,
she need not retire nightly at 9.

MEN AWAKEN IN THE MIST
\Of Morning To Resume Ter
rifle Fight-Picture Of
the Trenches.
GRIM TRuCEs OF THE NIGHT

During the terrific fighting in
Northern and Eastern France the
troops of the Allies have had very
little sleep. There has been a great
deal of night fighting, and heavy
rains have made the position of the
men in the trenches vastly uncom-
Portable.
Here is description of a night in
the trenches given by an English pa
per:
The trenches within the circle of
forts are cloaked before dawn by
mist. Here and there, hidden under
temporary shelters, groan or MUIR
mur tells where the soldiers sleep
on straw, behind the entertainments.
The stations of the local lines are
filed with straw, and among sacks
and accoutrements the more fortu-
nate are asleep, crowded close, un-
der the open sheds.
Here and there as one moves,
shadows loom out of the mist-the
Understanding sentries. Singular
figures, hidden in white vapor to the
waist. All wearing heavy cloaks of
different types, but made uniform
by the military cap, the shouldered
or grounded musket.
The challenges run round, in sub
dued tones. Even suspicion seems
lulled In the truce of the night the
mind even of the sentry is passive.
The artificial atmosphere that makes
all but the known uniform an enc
my is forgotten for the moment
Only few miles to the north the
advance patrols of the enemy are
also resting, sleeping under the
same bands of white mist.
And behind us, also hidden by the
mist, the restless movement of our
own troops continues. Trains are
shunting and banging, there is the
rattle of heavy wheels on the roads.
The yellow light widens; the mist
lifts and grows thin. The sentries
seem to shape themselves, and swing
their cloaks. A general stir rustles
out of the shelters. The clatter of
cooking pots and boots. even of
voices, begins round us. A cavalry
patrol, visible already in its lighter
blue uniforms, files past. The men
move out to their work on the earth
works. There is the rattle of arms
as the muskets are freed from their
standing stocks. Strange sheaves,,
these, in their threatening lines, by
the edges of uncut cornfields. They
begin to glitter as they are lifted in
the early sunlight.
The sound of distant shot, un-
explained. startles my little circle
of view into alertness. The truce
of night goes in an instant with the
mist. Suspicion, the sharp tension
of prospective attack, changes in a
second the atmosphere. Orders,
loud voices and movements tell the
beginning of another absurd day in
the unnatural war.

CONGRESSMAN FREAR OF WIS
CONSIN IS HITTING THE
NAIL ON THE HEAD.

Dear Sir: A new 100000
river and harbor pork barrel is
promised by the waterway lobby
which meets in Washington on De-
cember 9Th. Although it annually
demands $50, 900 from Congress,
TOR what the New York Board Of
Trade condemns as system of
mutual bribery" the lobby starts
this new bill at 100000.
Last month an unprecedented pork
barrel was defeated after long fight
in the Senate That bill carried
$5,000,3000 in cash and $33 ,000,0 900
in new projects, in addition to &c.
100000 carried by the Sundry Civil
Bill, or 500, 100000 in all for water
ways in 1914. A 100000 GOO substi-
tute was finally adopted.
When legitimate waterway i'm
proyements are sm0thered by indie

political pull, and a hundred million
dollars war tax is levied to cover
the Federal Treasury deficiency, is
it not time to block this new pork
Larrel?

extract from the Record Of March

that | wish to call your attention to
very carefully:

count rate here in the South to the
member-b banks is 6 IL per cent. To
the member-banks in the North it is
ID to per cent. Why this dis
elimination against the Southern
banker and people? Verify this,
now carefully, and then give them

and children have our sympathy.
After we take care Of the poor ones
here, I am in favor of helping them,
if possible There is, and will be,
q great deal Of suffering in this coun-
try this winter. Thousands Of peo-
pie are out Of work, no money, no
bread. DO you blame man for
stealing 10 feed his wife and babies?
The government is spending a good
deal Of money, and is still spend

on mouth and foot disease Of cattle.
This is humane. What about spend

A LETTER ON MASONRY.

Dear Sir: Masonry, unlike other
institutions of it's kind, does not
countenance the defending of it's
tenets, and we try not to say any
thing that will influence others in
becoming Masons. Freemasonry Sc
cures it's members in the freedom of
thought and of speech, and permits
each and every one to act according
to the dictates of his own conscience
in matters of religion and his per-
sonal preference in matters Of poll
tics. The laws of the institution re-
Quire Of it's members a strict obedi-
nee to the laws of God and man.
SO far from being bound by any en-
gagement inconsistent with the hap
piness and prosperity of the nation
Gas asserted by Catholics in your
previous edition, Nov. 19,) every
citizen who becomes a Mason is
doubly bound to be true to his God,
to his country, and to his fellow
men. In the language Of the ancient
