A FIGHTING NATION
Our Readiness for Combat Is an Old
Story. Il 1, Pointed Out.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In these days are not some OF
our citizens who are denouncing all war
policies" forgetting what kind Of mate
rial we Americans are made OF? we are
lighting" race-deny II as we may. ours
is q lighting stock. Our ancestry and his
tory have made us such. II any one doubts
IL. let him remember how the average
American schoolboy likes to see or particl-
pate in a Scrap l well remember some
years ago noticing, in crowd VINO were
witnessing an hnpromptu pugllistic en-
counter on a baseball field, three young
men, all OF whom were looking toward
the ministry and two OF whom are now
preachers. but they were American boys
before they were preachers; hence their
relish for a good, fair little fist fight.
President Eliot. i'm his work entitled
-Four Great Leaders Franklin, WASH
ington. Charming and Emerson-has the
following TO say of Washington and the
American people:
"He washington was all ms HE
fighter. and in him We see the per-
manency of the fighting quality-the Eng
lish-American stock. The entire Ameri-
can people is to-day a lighting people,
prone 10 resort 10 force and prompt to
take arms. To this day nothing moves
the admiration of the people so quickly
as composure, ingenuity and success III
fighting; so that even IN political con-
tests all the terms and SMILES are drawn
from war, and among American sports
the most popular have In them large
element OF combat
These words OF President Eliot express
exactly the truth Where is there ma
ton to-day that makes or has made more
of military heroes than our nation?
Did not Washington and Andrew Jack
son, and ". II. Harrison and Taylor and
Grant and Roosevelt all come TO the
Presidency largely because Of their mill
tary careers, even though, as in the case
Of Roosevelt. that career extended over
but "A few months?
Then, can we blame President Wilson
real American-when he shows dis
position to show fight" especially when
there is a cause?
If, when the flag is insulted, he gets
mad, remember not only that he has
something to be mad over, but also re-
member ne is OF good American stock.

THE CASE OF YOUNG CLIFFORD
A Friend Gives His Reading Of th.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: A reader OF your paper for
many years, as was my father before
me- know that you would not Willingly
do any injustice to any one.
Your news reports Of the case Of

a chauffeur he did not know for money

they arrested him without q warrant
and took him TO Albany in an autom0'
bile There he was confined seventy-tw'
hours, the local officials refusing

or allow him to. as he frequently re-
quested permission TO do. THIS uhlee''
of proceeding has evoked criticism fTom
all sides and the press should denouh's
it. The attempt in this way TO oresA

Mayor Gill, Reformer.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The chief reason given for tho re-
instatement OF Mayor Gil is that he Is a
reformed character running on a reform
ticket What gratifying state OF at

the ballot.
As "Bathhouse John" could not have
been reelected had the womans vote
been against him, we may assume that
he. too. has experienced change OF

reformation open before the Imagination

ingratitude and ignorance keep men from
insisting that all benefits as well as re-

1t is because men know. and have al
WAYS known. that women will attend TO
affairs while the fight is on, will mend
their battered bodies when the fray IS
over, that war is in any sense possible.
Therefore. since the Interviewing OF sex

The Mayor and Sunday Baseball.

Mayor Mtchels pronouncement IN faVor u
amateur Sunday baseball is in line with MS pehei
in the wisdom of letting the city's desire tor play
find its outlet with the least harm. The vacant
lot ball game with its following, may annoy some
persons in its vicinity, but it is pretty Wnole'
some thing for the participants, and much better
than hanging around the corner saloon
In MAYOR Gaynors administration this prooleni
was handled sanely and broadly Mayor Mltche'
is right in his determination to continue that treat

RoNDODE TO SPRING.

All these years has tho FIRE OF spring,
Ere Omars time. when wine was king.
Weakened IN earth the old desire
Throughout the years the same old ire
Has burned away like anything.
And why do all the bardlets sing
When boughs begin their burgeoning?
Why have they srnote the bloomin Tyre
All these years?
The stun is old, but still they bring
The vernal tide this offering.
For all the land and sky conspire
To give what seems a new attire
Thus, Natures had her little fling,
All these years.

This Distressing Situation.

Collinsville, III. -"I suffered from a
nervous breakdown and terrible head
aches, and was tired all over, totally
worn out and too discouraged to enjoy
life, but as had four in family and
sometimes eight or nine boarders, kept
on working despite my suffering.
g saw Vinol advertised and decided
TO try it, and within two weeks I
noticed decided improvement in nv
condition and now am a well woman.
Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
There are hundreds of nervous. rum
down, overworke ed women in this vicinity
who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited By Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, Strengthening properties of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-
vous, rundown man or woman in this
vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our
guarantee to return their money if it .
fails to benefit.

Our Banks.

The statements just published bv III,
banks OF Wilmington give remarkabI
evidence OF the stability and streno;t
ot our financial institutions Fo,
soundness our banks have no superiors
anywhere IN the country, and this an.
piies TO each and every one of them.
Iahlcs may come and 90 and various
sections OF the country suffer from a
| shortage OF currency or other financial
troubles, but here we are but SLIGHTLY
aheeted. Our local banking institutions
are conducted by men whose conserva.
tism Is big contributing factor to
tneir soundness, and the local depositor
Dig or little, may always rest assured
that his capital is safe.
his State has never had a national
bank failure, and in fact no reputabIe
6ank which was built upon a firm
foundation has ever gone to the wall
here. Considering the size of Whining.
ton, the resources of our banks are OFT
OF proportion to those of larger ci+ies
BANK elearings may not compare with
Ihose OF some cities of equal size in the
middle west, but the reason ia thai IN

different, and there il more actuaI
money put into circulation.
The conservatism of local bankers
and their interest in the welfare of |
local business men and manufacturers |
IN the past have prevented a shortage |
OF currency when other communities 4
were affected. As an illustration. tbis |
city escaped the experience Of roanv
other sections during 1907 and it was
largely due to the forethought and plan.
ming Of local bankers to guard against
such a condition.
II any criticism has been directed
against our banking institutions, it has
been because they were too conservative
'ut the man who perhaps has his saw
ngs of lifetime deposited in one OF
hem IS not likely to complain on that
core.
The consideration given the small de-.
'ositor, not only by the savings banks
'ut by others of Wilmington has in
ensified the confidence in and the good
ceiling for our local banks, and L is
Il deserved.

FURTHER PLANS FOR THE COUNTY
CORN SHOW

During a recent visit to an exhibit
Of farm products held by the Milton
Grange, the County Agent was pleased
to observe that excellent corn has been
grown even in this season of dry
weather. There is no reason for back
wardness in exhibiting when such corn
as this can be produced. Every man
who has corn at all should continually
bear in mind the fact that most of his
neighbors have suffered equally with
him on account of the dry weather, and
that unless they are better corn growers
than he or have better seed to start
with, they have no greater chances of
taking a prize than he.
