hours of waiting while the strength
of his beloved wife grew less and less,
until finally there was not enough left
to maintain the unequal struggle, and
the Death Angel claimed his own.
But across the land have been flying
the words of sympathy and the mes
sages of cheer. While these words
cannot for moment fill the void
which has been created, while these
words cannot restore the life that is
gone, while they cannot cause the
blood to flow, the eyes to open and the
lips to smile in encouragement, they
can in measure help by showing to
the bereaved one the good will, the
heartfelt sorrow of his people. And
so from every person there is mes
sage to President Wilson. May God
be with him in his trial and sorrow
and shower blessings on him, main
tanning him in his strength and vigor
for the nation which needs him as n
strong right arm to lean upon.
The trial of President Wilson has
been doubly severe. Passing through
the gravest crisis of the age in his
policy with Mexico, he is now facing
a still greater burden.
With the full knowledge that the
being he loved best on earth was slow
ly dying President Wilson gave to this
country such service as no man has
ever before given. In the face OF
greatest odds he maintained peace
and has saved to the country the
flower of her young manhood.
Then when came the gravest situ'
alton in a hundred years with all
Europe at war, the president was
equal to the emergency. Though his
wife lay at the door of death, he sent
his message of hopefulness and the
offer of mediation, now or at any time
With the deepest trouble Of his life
breaking over him, he was still able
to do his duty by his country and
humanity. Again we say God bless
Woodrow Wilson and sustain him.
1t must have been source Of great
consolation to Mrs. Wilson in her last
hours to have the support and love oi
q man like our president.
1t ought to be source of pride tc
every citizen of the United States tc
have the service and the regard of q
man like Woodrow Wilson.
While praising him, while recogniz
ing his sterling worth, we must re
alize his trial, his bereavement and
sadness, and his worry, and if we have
hearts we must mourn with him in the
burial of his dead

Decision to distribute government

replies from 5000 national banks to a

money was expected this fall and for
what purposes. The policy of distri-

While the principal demands for

WHERE WILL THEY END?

BY general admission it Is discour-
aging to fight an enemy always in re,
treat And it's hard for soldiers to
get up the fighting spirit against OPP
ponents when they never see anything
but the rear elevation of the foemen.
Possibly that accounts for the failure
OF many Democrats to display a great.
er degree of militancy during these
August days. They are waiting and
watching and hoping that the Repub-
licans will find position upon which
they can stand for as much as month
at time. AT this point let us re-
view history.
Less than twelve months ago, the
Republican leaders said the issue
would be workmen's compensation.
Then they heard from the industrial
centers where thousands of workmen
| go daily to their toll with the know
| ledge that home and loved ones will be
safe even though accident befall them
And workmens compensation was
dropped as campaign issue.
And then 1t was the referendum and
| the failure of tax laws to come to a
vote that was to be the issue, but dis
closures of rottenness in the Equity
Association petitions through the
courageous stand of Democratic Off.
cials and sworn confessions of the
Equity's own tools made the referen.
dunn impossible as campaign issue
And the "crime of 1913" as they were
wont to call the summary justice
meted out to Charles s. Gongwer and
his band of hirelings was dropped.
Then 1t was the Warnes law, which
deprived" the people of the right &c
elect their assessors-that was to be
the issue. Then 1t happened. The tal
dodgers began to run. And right
among them was Daniel r. Hanna
who now admits that his return SHOULD
have been a few hundred thousand
in excess of $1,OO0,00O instead O
$4,000 as he originally affirmed.
Then 1t was to be the school code
but the decent Republicans revolteC
against combination with the specia
interests represented by Mary E. Lee
professional lobbyist
Then it was to be the tax rates, bu
even the Republicans themselves II
office stood aghast at the prospect o
? robbing the tax payers.
And so at last, there promises to b,
? an attempt TO shift from state to ma
, tional issues.
l But no national election is on, Th
l issue has been joined and the Republl
1 can leaders must quit prattling abou
, panic that doesn't exist and mus
say why they wish to turn back Obi,
S to the tender mercises of such pc
D lltical buccaneers as Joseph Benson

Manasquan, N. j., Aug. S.-This

latiou of big section of New Jersey.
The celebration is one of ancient ori-
gin. Farmers of Monmouth and ad-

Girt was the scene of the largest of
these gatheries. But when Sea Girt
began to hold her head high and put
on airs, the farmers decided that they
were no longer welcome. So they
abandoned Sea Girt to the fashion
ables and came themselves to Manas-
guam, where the gatherings have now
been held for several days.
1t is estimated that the attendance
today numbered nearly 5000 persons
from the farming districts, some hav-

came in trains, wagons and horse

wagon, with room for dozen, seem

were unbroken lines of laughing,
shouting and singing country folk.
For weeks past every member of
the party had been planning bathing
suit that would surpass that of his
neighbor and the result was grotes-
que in many instances. or course
some appeared attired in regulation
bathing suits, but the great majority
were there with the homegrown pro-
duct. Most of the women's suits ran

BRISTOW MAKES HARD FIGHT

Washington, Aug. S.-The senate

This completes the pesonnel of the
board, and it is expected that the

There was a rOllcall on the War
burg nomination, the vote being 81

one Democrat, Senator Lane Of Ore
gon, voted against Mr.. Warburg. The
other ten votes were Republicans.
The vote ON Mr.. Delano's nomina-

to record his dissent, which he did
in loud voice.
In the course of his speech Senator
Bristow complained of fact that has
not heretofore been published, that
Mr.. WaIburg while witness before
the committee had refused to answer
any questions touching on his rela-
tions with the firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., as the answers would necessarily
have disclosed confidential matter.
It appeared that the committee had
upheld Mr.. Warburg In his attitude,
and Senator Bristow complained that
on account of this he was unable to
elicit information that would have
been of value to him in determining
Mr.. Warburg's fitness to preside over
the federal reserve system.
At one time in the discussion Sen.
ator Stone and Senator Bristow en-.
gagged in a spirited personal contro-
versy which threatened to become
serious. The senator's advanced to
ward each other, each indulging in
bitter personal reflections, but sug'
gestions from other senators finally
halted the controversy.
Mr.. Warburg was confirmed for a
term of four years and Mr.. Delano for
a term of six years. The senate pass

BLACK RUST INJURIES
SPRING WHEAT CROP
DrOuth Casts Shadow on Bumper
Crop Prospects,

Washington, Aug. Slack Of rain
fall and the prevalence Of black rust
in spring wheat seems to cast the
first shadow on the prospectus of the
much expected bumper crops.
The official statement Of the de-
partment of agriculture indicates
considerable declines. The statement
Of estimates will make succeeding
ones important and conditions will be
watched closely.
This is the official summary: "The
month of July was unfavorablo for
crops, as result of which general
prospects have declined materially.
Compared with July 1, the Aug.
forecast of corn shows a reduction Of
2S3,000,000 bushels, or 81 per cent;
wheat, 100000 bushels, or IL per
cent; oats, 44,OO0,O00 bushels, or 81
per cent; barley, 100000 bushels. or
3.8 per cent
"The forecast for potatoes increas-
ed 100000 bushels, or 2.5 per cent;
sweet potatoes, 100000 bushels, or
about 2 per cent, and tobacco 34,000,-
900 pounds, or 3.5 per cent.
"The principal cause of lower pros
poets is deficiency of rainfall over
the greater part of the agricultural
section of the United Staets and the
prevalence Of black rust in spring
wheat"
The country's record breaking win
ter wheat crop amounts to 675115.o0U
bushels, which is 22,OO0,0O0 bushels
more than the July 1 forecast. The
prospects of Spring wheat crop, how
ever, have decreased, being now esti
mated at 296,OOO,O00, or 3S,Ooo,OOC
bushels less than on July 1. This
makes the total wheat production
forecast 911,O0O,OOO bushels, or 49,.
100000 bushels less than indicated
July 1.

rhE OLD AND ThE NEW

II the suggestion of State Treasurer
John r. Brennan is adopted Ohio will
start upon the erection Of new office
building to care for departments that
can not find room in the state house
out OF the money earned as interest on
public funds. Erecting office buildings
nut of interest on public moneys is not
a new move. It has been done in
years gone by. 1t was done under Re
publican administration but note this
difference: when the Republicans
we're in power the interest on public
funds went into private pockets ant
court records show that private build
ing enterprises were advanced by this
treasury loot. On the other hand, un
der Democratic rule, this money car
be used TO erect not private, but
public building and save the state the
money now used to pay rent. And by
the way, the state Is compelled to rent
space in buildings erected by the aiC
OF treasury loot"
