Chemicals, possibly more than dyes, were affect ed by the cessation of foreign trade, as chemicals enter into the manufac- ture of dyestuffs. Germany has been the world leader in the production of such wares. Germany's eminence, however, was not attained by other means than painstaking striving.

MORE ACTING; LESS TALKING.

In a letter to the Iron Age, Thon- as A. Edison reminds the business interests of this country that more acting and less talking will sooner establish the prosperity in domestic and foreign trade which seems to be assured.
 MT. Edison, in addition to being Americas best known inventor, is a manufacturer of no small importance. His electrical and kindred operations are carried on at Orange, N. J. He is not only thinker, but a doer as well, and he has made money by manufacturing the appliances which he has conceived. "1t occurs to me, he tells the Iron age, that there are many things we are short of in the chemical line that could be made here quickly, if some people in the trade would act-not talk" Mr. Edison is the largest single user of carbolic ac id in Orange. His extensive laboratory activities could not be continued without this chemical, and shipments in quantity from Germany were out of the question. However, by mass ling big gang of men in three shifts" he says, "I have erected all the machinery and apparatus fo1 making phenol synthetically from
 benzol, and my plant is now WorE ing. but I shall manufacture only fol my own use in the production oi phonograph records"

DEMOCRATIC CERTAINTY.

The contest for delegate to con- gress is between two men-Charles E. Bunnell and James Wickersham- with the odds in favor of the cleo ton of the former.
 Two years ago the Democrats poll ed 1,478 votes in the territory, With the party very much disrupted. me Democrats had two candidates m me field and there was bitter feeling be- tween the rival factions. The hght was such, in fact, that fully one-hai1 of the Democrats refused to support either of the Democratic candidates, and more than half of the votes cast for Delegate Wickersham came from the Democratic ranks.
 This year the Democratic party IS united strongly, and MT. Bunnell safe ly can count upon receiving the full support of the organization, which will be more than sufficient to elect him. It is well known that the Democrats have majority of the votes in the territory, and with such a man as Charles F. Bunnell at the head of the ticket, there is little doubt of the result of the election.
 There is not a reason why every Democrat should not give his or her support to Mr. Bunnell. He has abil- ity. he is a good mixer, he is an Alaskan of long standing and he ad- yocates the things most needed for the promotion of Alaskas interests His election would be in the nature of vote of confidence in President ,'ilson, who is the recognized leader of the Democratic party.
 Every Republican also should sup port MT. Bunnell. Delegate Wicker sham has never earned Republican vote. He bolted the party years ago and has been a political outcast evel since
 There is also every good reason why the Socialists should and un doubtedly will give generous support to the Democratic candidate. MT Bunnell stands for those things which the Socialists want, and ii elected, he will be in a better posi- ton to get them than any other can .lidate ill the field.
 Mr. Bunnell stands for central

Defeat Ohio State in Close Contest at
Columbus-Both Score in
Second Quarter.

Madison.-Wisconsin defeated Ohio
State in the game at Columbus by the
close score of to 6. The Ohio eleven
was in the best possible shape, while
the Badgers were somewhat weakened
by the absence of Mucks, Schmidt and
Kreuse. The weather was ideal for
the game, and big crowd turned out
to witness the conflict.
Several times during the first period
Ohio State carried the ball within
striking distance of the goal, but each
time lost the ball. By series Of for
ward passes, State carried the ball
from her own thirty-five-yard line to
Wisconsin's Vineyard line, where the
ball went to Wisconsin on downs.
Both teams scored during the sec
ond period On a punt formation, a
short forward pass, Pickerel to Sny-
der Ohio State got touchdown. I'm
mediately following an intercepted for
ward pass gave Wisconsin the ball on
Ohio's 30-yard line. A forward pass
for Is yards and two line plays gave
Wisconsin a touchdown, which con-
verted into a goal. Score end of sec
ond period: Wisconsin, z; Ohio
State, 6.

resolution of April 81, 1914, pCstpon-

of reasonable discretion under the
duties imposed upon them by law and
that their action in the matter is not
subject to control by mandamus," says
Justice Siebecker in the opinion of the
court.
After the money had been appro-
priated, an agreement was entered

COURT DECLARES
MARRIAGES VOID
SUPREME TRIBUNAL OF STATE
HANDS DOWN IMPORTANT
DECISION
FINAL DECREE is NEEDED
Rules That When Divorce is Obtained
Under 1909 Law, Year Limit Is
InappicabIe-Affect Many
Wisconsin People.

Madison.-The Supreme Court, in a
decision handed down, declared that
when couples, divorced under the 1909
divorce law. were married again after
year had expired but before the final
decree was entered by the court in
which the divorce was granted, the
marriage was null and void. 1t is be-
lieyed this ruling will affect hundreds
of marriages.
Emma Vielbaum was granted an in
terlocutory decree of divorce on Nov.
7, 1910 On Feb. IS, 1912, she married
Robert Dallmann in Milwaukee. Under
the divorce law prevailing at that time
she could not have married even at
the expiration of the year, unless the
final decree was entered. The final
decree was not entered until March
IL, 1913, although she had been di-
vorced more than the year required
by law. On April q, 1913, Dallmann
began an action for divorce, alleging
that his marriage was not valid. His
wife demurred to his complaint and
the court sustained her demurrer.
Dallmann then appealed to the Su-
preme court.
According to Dallmann's attorneys
in their aurgments, this was an impor-
tant decision, as it will have to do
with the most sacred relations in life.
They declared it would involve a con-
siderable number of persons-inno-
cent people who have married after a
divorce without having a final decree
entered. The attorneys held that if a
decision were given fayoring the hus-
band, it would have the tendency to
have husbands who grew tired of their
wives resort to legal technicalities of
this kind to become free.
