To beat big, efficient concerns up in

Success is built on confidence, cour-

Some Men.--And Hearst,
lCoIIler's Weekly.J

We referred recently to the expert
ence OF Mr.. Mclean of the Cincinnati
Enquirer" in attempting to create
anti Wilson sentiment in Ohio. Hearst
has just tried the same thing in a baser
way and got an even harder jolt. In
the early fighting at Vera Cruz one of
our marires, an eighteen-year- old
Georgia boy named Randolph Summer
lin, was killed. Whereupon Hearst's
Atlanta Georgian tried to turn its
own sneaking profit out of the tragedy
by wiring its correspondent at Villa,
coochee as follows:
Please interview Summertime father
on uselessness of sacrifice. If United
States is now to accept mediation, does
he not think it outrageous to have to
send boys to be killed, and the Govern.
ment decide fighting is wrong? Please
send good statement =
Hearst,s employee forgot that he
was sending this stuff to men of Geor-
gia. Here's the answer he got:

A Strong Speech.

Senator Chilton's speech in
favor of repeal of Panama Canal
tolls exemption has made strong
impression throughout the coun-
try, many of the great daily
papers eulogizing it as one of the
best arguments so far advanced
in the United States Senate in
defense of the Presidents posi-
tion-critics ranking it with the
speeches of Root and Lodge who
have been big enough to drop
partizanship in a matter affect
ing their country in her foreign
and domestic relations.
Their position offers the best
evidence that the issue is not
political one and for that rea-
son, while we disagree with them,
those who honestly believe that
the exemption should stand ought
not to be denounced as untrue to
the Administration.
Where a matter of conscience
is involved we feel sure that
President Wilson would have lit,
tie respect for those who violated
their honest convictions for polit-
ical expediency and to stand in
with the administration.

sletaoriaI Rag.

A land without ruins is q land with
out memories; land without memories
is a land without history; land that
wears a laurel crown may be fair to
see; but Irvine few sad cypress leaves
around the brow of any land, and, be
that land barren. beautiIess, and bleak,
It becomes lovely in its consecrated
coronet of sorrow, and it wins the sym
patty of the heart and of history.
Crowns of roses fade; crowns of thorna
endure. Calvaries and crucifxions take
deepest hold of humanity. The trium-
phs of might are transient; they pass
ana are forgotten; the sufferings Of
right are craven deepest on the chron,
icle of nations. Father Ryan.

was as old as my father and had
known my husband well.
He was fine to me; gave me
money enough for current expenses.
and told me that he had a position in
view for me that would enable me TO
give Bobby all the care and surgical
aid necessary.
