How astonishing, how unnec.
essary, The division made by
Wilson amounts to revolution.
Senators from three great West
ern States are saying 10 their
friends that the President has lit
orally ruined them. The party di-
vision between the Presidential
dictation and the party pledge is
SO fierce that the Republican can
didate is almost certain to win
over their party discord.
Poor young Mitchell Palmer. Of
Pennsylvania, felt sure that he
was going to win the Senatorship.
But his dear friend, the Presi-
dent. has put in the remorseless
hands of Penrose a hammer to
beat the life out of the Palmer
Senatorial boom.
What is the motive behind this
carefully prepared long planned
surrender to England?
1t is plain now as the discus
sion has progressed that it was
not anxiety for the nations hon4
or" That shibboleth has died
out. 1t is plainly not because Of
any impressiveness in the argu-
ment that exemption was IAN eco
nomic mistake" This, too, has
faded. And the President has al
most sternly refused to tell his
constitutional adviser-the Senate
even in executive session what
particular foreign nations threat
en- our country. This argument
seems to have been also Pigment
Of the brain.
What Is Back of It?
DO you want me to tell you
what Is back of all this?" said the
Senator, who feels that his party
President has defeated him. II
will tell you
"First-It is the persistent
trained and nightly developed
organized power of the transcon-
tinental railways in their death
grapple for supremacy in monop-
oily.
'Second-It is because William
j. Bryan is definite and yearn-
ing candidate for the Nobel Peace
prize. and is consumed with the
desire to 90 down to history as
the Great Peace Secretary Peace
at any price even at Carnegie's
price.
THRIFT is because the Presi-
dent has always been a lover OF
England, Of the English system
and the English people-as shown
by his Federalistic books and ear
lier speeches. 1t is because the
President gets all his views of
English and foreign affairs from
the biweekly letters Of Ambassa-
dor Walter Page, of recent ban
quet notoriety.
1T is because the President
looks forward at the close of his
Presidential term to a tour of the
European countries in which he
hopes his attitude of TODAY will
assure him greater ovations than
were given to General Grant and
Theodore Roosevelt from the
thrones of Europe.
And, finally" said he with in
tense and resolute tone, lit is be-
cause the President has always
been the jealous friend of the
transcont!nental railroads. and is
now the Jealous friend of the rail
ways. Simultaneous with this
fight for English interests comes
the Presidents announcement that
the railroads have suffered enough
and ought to fare better in future
legislation.
And when all that is now hid
den is disclosed il will be found
that these three reasons-with the
last as a climax furnish the only
real clew to the most amazing be-
trayal OF American right and
American dignity"
From what the Senator told me
and the way in which he told it it
is quite possible that the Senate
chamber may hear the elaboration
Of the Senator's words.

The Discord Widening.

Lhe Dlscoru widening.
This will be the verdict of the
people whenever they render a
verdict And there is growing in
Congressional circles steady,
stern resentment against the Ad-
ministration for the pgedicament
in which Senators and Congress-
men have been placed Every
man who hears from home hears
from decided, excited, antago-
nistic constituency.
No man who follows Mr.. VII
sons grave blunder can feel sure
of his reelection. The Cleve-
land division and split of SO IS
now forgotten in the wider dis
cord sown unnecessarily by the
latest Democratic President.
l heard 1t in Washington from
a dozen Senators and Congress
men. trembling in the balance Of
re- election: at is shame that
the President should have placed
his party in this predcament."
A Senator as keen and as cut
ting as an east wind said: "The
whole story is coming out drop by
drop
This tragic humiliation is the
elimination of definite and pre-
arranged agreement. 1t was plan
ned within six weeks after the in
auguration Before the 18th of
April. 1913, it was agreed upon
that this policy should be gradu-
ally developed and sternly insist
ed upon.
That is why Roots unneces-
sary and unprovoked speech was
made questioning the violation Of
the treaty after Secretary Knox
and the British Premier had prac-
tically agreed that the tolls eX-
emption was satisfactory.
1T was plan that Root should
revive the question and advocate
the British side. That is why the
Root speech was distributed in
thousands throughout the coun-
try, Carnegie paying the bills-or
most of them.
When All Was Ready.
That is why the Cleveland
Dodge letters went broadcast
through the country. Dodge was
the largest single contributor to
the Wilson campaign, you will re-
member
That is why so many leading
papers in the Middle West and
farther West, without any spe-,
cial provocation and in advance
of the later discussion, began a
singularly organized advocacy of
the 'Country's honor in treaties
and the necessity of making an
object lesson to Young Americans
Of observing their honorable OBJ
legations
And then. when the pipes
were all laid and the time had
come the scholar in the White
House-calm, brief and confident
flung out in few disrespect- .
fully brief sentences the dictato-
rial demand:
"Give me ungrudsingly what I
ask
SO far from the message Of
dictstor demanding absolute and
unusual powers for extraordinary
new emergencies, il was simply
the peroratior Of a speech pre-
pared nearly a year ago"

ceusure or Mr.. AsQuith's refusal to give
details. Of the Ulster Local Option Scheme,
saying that it would be accepted as q basis
for discussion it it signited that Ulster
would not be expelled from the United
Kingdom against its Will, bat it would not
be accepted if it 8ignihed that, after the
interim, Ulster would be automaticalIv sub
jeeted to the Dublin Parliament. He qua
ranteed that there would be 40 opposition if
the Government would take the opinion Of
the people OF the United Kingdom in a gem
eraI election, which would give a mandate to
coerce Ulster, and he declared that the
Government could refuse only because it
wished to se.tle the question by DULLES,
rather thou by ballots. The army, he sud,
would repress mere disorder, but in a civil
war it would be divided, as the people and
the d~eteuees Of the country were destroyed.

StRteS Ln9 chief OF the weather Bureau,
Professor Moore, examined the records OF
the rainfall at ten stations for the previous
thirty years ana divided them into ten wear
periods. The first of these gave an average
of 33 inches, the second % inches, and the
third 81 inches, and he points ont that
although the middle period shows a falling
off from the first the deficiency is nearly
made up ia the Bird period.
Professor Moore, had been called before
o Committee Oh Agriculture appointed by
the House Of Representatives and was asked
certain questions in regard 30 rainfall and
change OF climate, His replies were so def
mite on these points aud so Interesting that
we quote two parts Of the Official Report.

MON.
"Mr. Field Yes; but the impression in the
public mind is such that q great many peo-
pie may rely on it to their prejudice. Do you
think there is to he a recurrence Of dry
years, just as there has been il the last three
years a very perceptlbIe increase in rain

professor MooaE. I have not any doubt
Of it Many people have written TO me
and have said tha" they have been

it was ten years ago in price, but that it is

WON HIS WAY WITH FISTS
Australian Fighting Parson" Correct
ly Gagged Men to Whom He
Desired to Minister.

The novel spectacle of preceding
church service with boxing bouts
was witnessed recently in Australia.
The pugilistic parson was the Rev.
IL. Linton of st. James, WiIcannia,
N. S. W., and correspondent gives
the following account of the en-
counter:
"Mr. Linton struck a (shearing)
shed in full swing, and being anx-
ious to get into close touch with the
men made inquiries as to the pros
poets of holding a service. An old
hand who was consulted gave it as
his opinion, if he made the attempt
he would probably meet with a
mixed reception. However, nothing
daunted, he soon made his plan oil
campaign, and lost no time in put
ting it into execution.
"He put in an appearance at the
mess one evening, and after few
,fraternal remarks introduced a set
of boxing gloves. This was bold
frontal attack, and risky. The shed
champion was thunderstruck. He
from the start of shearing freely had
offered to fight run or jump with
any man in the crowd, with no re-
suit, and here was a simple parson
'storming his stronghold. Prelimi-
,naries were soon settled and a willing
go was entered upon, which soon
left the one-time champion deeply
thinking.
"After several other bouts the first
part of the entertainment closed
and the more serious one was entered
fupon-a religious service. All hands,
full of admiration for the parson.
rolled up and hearty exercise was
the result, the first ever held there.
We would not be surprised if he were
elected chaplain to the West Oar
ling shearers."
