REPAIRING THE FENCES

which few had given him credit, has
begun negotiations to conciliate two
men within his own party O. national
prominence. Some weeks ago be in
Ivited Col. Harvey to call at the White
house. The Colonel is one of the
great editors of the country and is
credited with the distinction of nav
ing discovered Wilson. Through no
fault of the editor, however, relations
between the two have not been OF the
most cordial kind since Wilson was
elevated to the presidency.
The press dispatches of Saturday an
nounced the fact that the President
and Henry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, had "buri-
ed the hatchet.'
Both editors have been very frank
in their criticisms OF Wilson and his
policies during the past year and a
half. Whether these overtures from
the White house will have the effect

The Importance Of organization
cannot be overestimated, and it is as
necessary in politics as in an army. IN
fact, very little can be accomplished
without it.

state affairs, politics il not the only
question to be considered, in National
matters this rule does not apply. No

Congressman Roberts has held office
for four years, during practically the
whole of which time he has attended
to the business of his constituents in
a prompt and able manner.

able men, and may be relied upon to
fulfill the duties of the high Office to
which he aspires with credit both to
himself and his constituents.
