DESTROYED
By Fire Was Old Landmark
Near Butler

Butler April PA house owned by
the Bable estate which was the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph StofHer, three
miles southwest Of town, caught fire
from defective chimney, Monday
afternoon, and burned to the ground.
Only few articles of household fur
niture we're saved from the flames.
The wind was blowing quite strong
and the blaze rapidly spread to all
parts of the building, before the con-
tents could be removed. This build
ing, which was of logs, was one OF
the landmarks of the locality, having
been built over a century ago. 1t
was still in good condition, being
well preserved and no doubt would
have stood another century had it
not been destroyed by the fire. The
members of the Stoffer family have
been staying with nighbors since the
fire.

field Saturday to acquire a metropoli

gate open and the mayor strayed from
his wanton haunts. He got into the

the combined powers OF gravitation

This was proYOcation enough for
some excitable person TO send in a
riot call and it was but a few min
utes until the wagon backed up.
Captain Mcclure was detailed to
escort the mayor Of Windsor to the
Pinch Parlor on South Walnut street.
The chief executive remained here
over Sunday. Over the door of the
Windsor castle hangs a card which
reads, "Out of town on pressing

fortunately" says the Herald,
I'VE have at the head of the Gov

man in whose calmness and judg-
ment we have as great confidence
as we have in his patriotism"
"Calmness and judgment"
Great words, expressing great
qualities. In the terrible storm of
war that has burst over Europe,
Americans have new reason to
admire the sense and sanity of
their own chief magistrate.
Since. autOcracy deliberately
plunged civilization into blood,
we hear no more sneers at an ad-
ministration that chose watch
ful waiting" in preference to war.
we hear no more expressions Of
contempt for the Presidents
idealism and for his theories of
service. These theories are no
longer the academic dreams of
the "schoolmaster." In the light
OF the worldwide catastrophe of
the last ten days the most blatant
lingo in the United States would
exchange Woodrow Wilson for
any European statesman, and the
partisan bigots who professed to
be ashamed Of their country have
all been silenced by events.
1t is very fine to prattle about
"a vigorous foreign policy" but
conscience and sincerity and in
tegrity have their place in gov
eminent despite the Metternich
legend that still controls Euro
pean chancelleries. There was
plenty Of vigorous foreign policy
IN Berlin. in Vienna and st. Pet
ersburR: but there was none OF
the good faith and common hon.

esty that have shone through the
diplomacy of Washington. In con-
sequence. all of Europe is directly
or Indirectly at war, and it is only
IN the United States that the flame
Of civilization burns steadily and
brightly.
Who doubts that if a man of
Woodrow Wilson's restraint and
temperament had been at the head
81 the German government this
crime OF the centuries would have
been averted? Who doubts. either.
that if the United States now had
% President of the Kaiser's tenn
permanent this country would in
-evltably be drawn INTO the vortex
Of war?
More than maps will be chang
ed by this conflict, ana we our
selves will be affected by it in re-
spects that are neither financial
nor commercial. New standards
Of craftsmanship will be estab-
ilshed in this country as the Am
erican people concentrate the
terrible results of personal gov
eminent and imperialistic ambi-
lions abroad.
To the historian of fifty years
hence the fact that Woodrow Will
son was President in the crisis
may seem no less providential
than the fact that Abraham Lin
coin was President when the very
lie OF the Union was hanging in
the balance.
