of the committee. who went TO New York
yesterday TO obtain the version OF Arthur
McAleenan, tho organizer of tho trip.
M. McAleenan attempted to shoulder the
blame and exonerated the New York A. c.

against the men WAS that they concealed
their names on the night when they COM

ABOUT A LARGE CITY

What are the names of the three
largest cities in the Western Hemis
phere? About 100 out OF every 1OC
well posted citizens OF the United
States would promptly answer, New
York. Chicago and Philadelphia. And
according to a communication just re
ceived by the Pan American Union
they would guess wrong. This mes
sage states that the corrected returns
of the recently taken census show that
the population OF Buenos Ayres has
grown TO 1.7OO, 900. thus passing Phila-
delphia and crowding her out of the
third place.
The growth OF the Argentine capi-
tai has been phenomenal. In 20 years
II has almost trebled It's population,
and becomes the largest city in the
world south of the equator. the largest
Spanish-speaking city in the world,
the second largest Latin city-Paris
alone putrandng it-and the third
largest city in the western world. I'M
migration is, OF course, largely re-
sponsible for this rapid increase, but
the city's birth rate, 34.1 per thousand,
has cut considerable figure
Some more interesting questions
the answers to which are not very
generally known, might be asked in
this connection. For instance, where
is the finest jockey club in the world?
Where the most expensive theatre In
the Americas? Where the most re-
markable newspaper building in the
world. Where the most deliberately
housed municipal waterworks station?
Where the most intellectually arts.
tic business street. And the answer
to each is Buenos Ayres.
A few other noteworthy facts rela-
tive to the Argentine metropolis are
the following: Not only is it the
greatest South American seaport but
in point of entrances and clearances
of vessels engaged in foreign trade 1t
is ahead of even New York, while in
tonnage and value of foreign COM
merce 1t ranks next to New York In
all the Americas. 1t is the greatest
wool-exporting port in the world, late
returns showing that it has crowded
Sydney, Australia, out of first place.
In exports OF frozen and chilled beef
Argentine leads the world; next TO
Russia II exports more wheat than any
country in the world; in the produc-
ton and export of linseed it leads the
world; while in the export OF corn 1t
more than trebles the United States,
and, OF course, leads the world.

THE MAN OF SORROW.

Out of the great heart of the Ameri-
can people. touched TO the innermost
recesses by sorrow inexpressible in
words, goes sympathy to Woodrow
Wilson in his unspeakable grief
Laden by the weight of care and re
sponsibility in the discharge of official
duties such as no president since Lin
coin has faced. patiently endeavoring
10 guide safely and securely the ship
OF state in the most trying hour in the
worlds history, seeking to handle in
a manner which his countrymen will
approve by sparing the sword, the trou-
blesome situation in a neighboring re-
public, pushing momentous domestic
legislation, adjusting serious industrial
troubles that threatened the internal
commerce of the nation, harassed at
home by political opponents and COW
etous critics, there comes upon him
the most terrific blow that can befall
man, the loss of his dearest treasure.
the comrade and companion of his
years, the brave woman who has shar-
ed his hardships and anXieties, and
has been at all times his best friend
and comforter.
Under this weight of sorrow he must
stand up for the sake of the people,
whose chief he is. To him is not CIV
en- even the solace of solitude in
sorrow sacredly his own.
To the nation and to the world, the
Presidents bereavement has come as
great shock. While for many weary
days the president has been facing
trying Ordeals and discharging his duty
faithfully and with an intelligence that
has won universal admiration, it was
not until yesterday that the country
had even a hint OF the personal grief
and anxiety through which he was
passing, and that some of the most i'm
portant state papers he was penning
were being written while he kept faith
full vigil at the bedside of his dying
wife
There is no word of comfort that
mortal lips can offer TO cheer the ma
tons head at this moment; not in
honor, not in station, can compensa-
ton be found.
4 woman of rare graces and gra-
ciousness, lovely of character, beauti-
full in all the ideals that make for
womankind, Mrs. Wilson was the fit
helpmate for the man who rose to the
head of the greatest nation, a nation
that was proud 10 call her its first
lady.
Tears rather than words convey the
feelings of the American people to-
wards Woodrow Wilson today.

STAYING ON THE JOB.

Congressman Tavenner should
come home and look after his political
fences" some are saying.
or course, Tavenner's political
I fences are important to him. But
what about the peoples fences in
Washington? They are important
too. They may need looking after
It IS well to think of the peoples
/ fences as well as the congressman
fences.
II things calm down, and there is
no pressing need for Tavenner's pres
ence in Washington, in common with
other representatives of the people. II
will be perfectly proper for him to
come home. And he has been wanting
70 come for weeks.
But his place right now Is in Wash.
ington. especially in view of present
existing conditions throughout the
world, which may at any moment re
quire emergency legislation by con
gress for the welfare of the country.
There is barely quorum present in
congress. Speaker Clark and Minori-
" Leader Underwood are complaining
bitterly at the absence OF so many
members, who are away from their
posts Of duty looking after their "po-
litical fences" Only last Saturday the
house had TO adjourn because Of lack
of a quorum.
Congressman Tavenner has been in
the firing line all of the time. ANY
contemplated invasion of the peoples
rights has met his opposition. He has
kept the peoples fences in order as far
as his voice and vote were concerned.
The congressman who guards the
peoples fences, who defends his dis
trict against every attack Of privilege,
goes before his constituency with
clean hands. He goes before them as
a man who has kept the faith.
Congressman Tavenner is a candi-
date for denomination. He has set
his hand to tasks that have not yet
been finished. He would like TO go
back. The fact that he is a candidate
proves that But If he runs away from
when he is needed there,
because his fences need fixing" he
would not be fit man TO send back.
Il generally happens that congress
men who are most concerned about
their own fences are a bit Indifferent
about the peoples fences at the ma
tional capitol.
Good congressman are somewhat
scarce, and Il is as important to the
people TO keep up a good congress
mans fences as IL is TO him to keep
them up.
