Business Men in Politics

A few days ago The Republican stated that the
movement in behalf of F. A. Jones for corporation
commissioner business mems movement and
not partisan political movement That Mr. Jones
happened to be democrat only an unconsidered
incident. He had solicited denomination; in
fact he had publicly said that he did not want re-
nomination, but it urged upon him. In looking
over the vote from this and other towns we
find that the Jones vote is different from that
received by any other candidate There is apparent
in the returns SO far received a practically solid
business mems vote.
There is a saying and it is too true that the
average business does not take an interest in
politics. 1t is political interest that the BUSH
taking in the candidacy of Mr.. Jones.
1t is a personal interest. Mr. Jones being a most
capable commissioner, has saved them money and
with the cooperation of his associates he save
them a great deal more We are glad that the
business have found that it pays to take
proper interest in politics and that the exercise of
this interest in this has resulted in the renom
nation of Mr.. Jones by "a much larger than that
received by any other candidate the corporation
commission.
But We did not begin this with purpose to
graduate Mr.. Jones, but to make of his

SONGS OF THE CONFLICT

London papers shrunk in size from their
usual proportions and full of the same scattering
war stories that the press of all the world has nad
to put UP with. They make up for the deficiency
of news with good deal of poetry The London
Chronicle of August IA contains the most note
worthy poems that has as yet produced-Wi-
liam Watson's terrific onslaught on the German
emperor These verses of his the kaiser are
entitled THE Man Forsworn." They picture the
kaiser first as a recent honored guest at Windsor
Castle, pledgng peace:
In martial cloak the kaiser
We did dream it cloaked spy;
Yet there he sat- We know,
A guest a kinsman and a foe.
The poet assumes that the German people are
really victims of the kasers:
We know his people great and strong
On such as these cast slur;
Our wonder is that they so long
Suffer ungaled his bit and spur.
'Tis with no heart of joy that we
Arise to smite them the sea
The concluding stanzas of the long poem are
as follows:
To one sole mortal it remained
One rash insulter of the Earth
To teach the world wherein he rcigned
How much a kasers word is worth.
A kasers word, caitiffs voW.'
Well have learned their value now.
Over the bland and kindly Day
Unreasonable Night he filings;
Sinister darkness blear and gray,
A horror of malignant wings.
Pain and red havoc he bestows
On them that only asked repose.
He is not hungrier for your lands
Than he is thirsty for your
Smite him with all your Humorous hands,
Fight him and smite him to his knees
You that him and falsehood hurled
Shall guard the fortress of the world!
Vigorous verse-but what a Yankee would call
"a leetle one-sided' One meanwhile wonders what

WATCHING A BATTLE
FROM AN AEROPLANE
ENGLISH OFFICER DESCRIBES
TERRIBLE STRUGGLE ALONG
THE AISNE

London, Sept. 2S.-A letter from an
officer of the Royal Flying corps, un-
der date of September A, describing
view from an aeroplane of the bat
tie eastward of Paris, says:
Yesterday l was up for a recon
Nuisance over this huge battle. |
bet it will be remembered as the big
gest in history. 1t extends from Com
piegne right away to Belfort.
1--WE flew at o'clock in the even
ing. At that time the British guns all
opened fire together. From a height
of 5000 feet | saw sight which l
hope it will never be my lot to see
again. he woods and bills were Liter
ally cut to ribbons all along the south
of Laon. 1t was marvellous watching
hundreds of shells bursting below one
to the right and to the left for miles
and then to see the German guns re-
plying.
Il fear there will be lot more aw-
ful fighting below this show ends, but
we are certain it will end with us
on top, although we all had our doubts
about three weeks ago during that
awful retreat"
Writing again on September 10, the
officer says:
"The huge battle still is going on
Cur machines, after being out all day
bring in the same news, the Germans
have got into one OF the strongest
positions possible. Fortunately rein
fcrcements are arriving and are
coming up.

need to be carefully disguised
though or they will be stolen en-
route" 81 HiFE3
The officer mentioned that the ae-
rorlanes are seen by friend and foe
every time they asceSd. They hardly
ever descend without bullet holes all
over the planes, but fortunately, the
writer says, the flying corps had lost
only one pilot and passenger up to
September fourth.

London, Sept. 29-The eighteenth

indications continue to point to an
approaching end of the Romeric strug-
gle. Hand-to-hand fighting is now rag
ing with such fury, that it is bound.
it is generally held, to decide the is

All that the public Is permitted to
know from the allies side is that so
far the British armies have held their
grip on their positions and have con-
sistently thrown back the masses of
Germans who have been bravely and
iucessantly hurled on them in an ef-
fcrt to break through the human bar
