Wilson Worlds
First Citizen

London, June IL. In q two
column tribute to President Will
son. Alfred G.. Gardiner, editor
of the Daily News. says: mo
man in the democratic world to-
day is so entirely governed by
principle and moral sanctions.
President Wilson is not merely
the first citizen of the United
States, but the first citizen of the
world. He makes mistakes, no
doubt. for he is human but they
never are the mistakes of a weak
man; they never are the mis-
takes of a political gambler or
one touched by sordid motives
of ambition.
Emperor William has made
many miscalculations but his
greatest miscalculation was in
regard to Mr.. Wilson and the
United States. Throughout the
war his attitude has conformed
| to historic tradition Of the Unit
ed States on nonintervention in
European affairs, but he realizes
the world has changed and the
limited States can no longer
remain Theoretically sealed.
The rupture between Presi'
dent Wilson and Mr.. Bryan viii
be one of the great landmarks
of the war. 1t is a mercy tol
1.-The United States that in the
nomination struggle the amiablt
dreamer was defeated by thu

to war if war can be avoidet
with honor. but the integrity 0

concern and it is safe IN hi

Bison Banker
Returns From Trip

C.. F. Peterson, of Bison, ar
rived in Lennon on Friday en-
route to his home after an ex-
tended trip through eastern
South Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
In an interview with Mr.. Peter
son, he stated to a Herald re-
porter that the conditions in
these eastern sections were far
worse on account Of the rain
than the conditions here. Most
all the corn in the country tbro-
ugh which he Travelled will hav
to be replanted and the outlook
for a gre in or, p is not rear
as good there as here. He said
it is remarkable the amount OF
difference there is in the soils of
this section and the country to
the east, in that we can stand
almost any amount of water and
when it comes to withstandlng
a drouth we have them all faded.
He also said that almost every
where he stopped he found that
the old tales, told by the dis
gruntled cutters who left here
after a few months residence,
still stick in the craw Of the peo-
pie of the east, and that it was
his belief that only with good
| judicial advertising of this Sec
ton can this evil be removed
Mr.. Peterson said further that
a booster club should be organ
lied, comprizing the live wires
lin the different towns in this
section and work together to gel
this great Trans. Missouri EN-
pire advertised.

Came Postponed

Rain again interfered with
baseball arrangements on last
Sunday when t h e Bowman
Broncs and Lennon Giants were
scheduled to cross bats on the
Bowman grounds.
During the greater part Of the
last four weeks it has rained a.
most continuously and on Satur-
day the climax was capped by a
rainfall of over three inches.
The Lennon team had arrang-
ed to 90 to Bowman on the train
that leaves at 1880 on Saturday
night but at about eight that
evening word was received from
Bowman that there had been SO
much rain there that there could
be no game, so the Giants sta.
ed at home.
Sunday turned out to be one
of the best base ball days we
have had this season and the
Giants were greatly disappointed
that they were compelled to be
idle. Bowman called Lennon

them that they had better come

No matter how you lead the race
Amid the glory Of the fray
Somewhere across the open space
Your conqueror is on the way
Reign while you may with iron hand
And deem yourself the ruling king,
And let your vaunted pride expand
The while you hear the wekin ring;
Then turn and look to plains below
Where only puny weakngs stay,
But where oncomng. blow by blow,
Your conqueror is on the way.
Turn to the roaring welcome now
And let it sink deep into your soul;
Look to the laurel on your brow
While yet the cheering echoes roll:
Feel in your heart you'll never fail
And hold the dream while yet you may;
For. stalking up the open trail.
Your conqueror is on the way.

The President at Indianapolis

TIME noteworthy thing In President VIII
i sons indianapolis speech was not it's de-
fense of the Democracy and its policies nor
it's exhibition of him as the masterful and
controlling mind i'm its councils. but the plea
to the independent voter, sometimes called
a progressive to join forces with the De-
mocracy.
This was the firing of the first gun for
the campaign of 1916, and it revealed the
processes of the Presidents mind He knows
as well as any one else that if he cares for
denomination he can have it on a gold plat
ter with none to say him nay. He dominates
his party by the force of his superior intel
lect and the driving power of his determined
will. He have from it whatever he
wishes. But he has been studying election
returns and he has discovered that there is
a large body of voters who are not closely
bound to any party, and he knows that
without their support a Democratic presi-
Dental nomination would be worthless to
him or to any one else. More of this sort
of appeal to the independent voters may be
expected as the months go by, but one
can make it more subtly than this one-t time
professor of politics, who has grown great
that even on Jackson Day he overshadows
the sturdy Democrat in whose honor the
anniversary was observed.

| TRYINc to get cured cheap and dying
Il early as a result Is a favorlte diversion
Of the American people. They guzzle patent
medicines with the enthusiasm and reckless
gullibility Of children turned loose in the
pink lemonade section Of circus.
DR.. Reid Hunt recently gave a free public
lecture at the Harvard Medical School He
pointed out that the absence Of the slightest
curative power in many OF the patent medi-
cines commonly sold was not of so great Inn
portance as the presence in them of dele
terlous substances. Analysis of one remedy
showed it to contain wood instead of grain
alcohol "and stlll another, containing coal
tar caused 1900 deaths and $4,000 injuries
and diseases" Purity in a drug does not
mean that It is harmless Pure carbolio
acid, for instance, can kill little bit quicker
than impure carbolic acid.
Men who peddle death for a price, after
having smeared II over with lies, deserve the
penitentiary instead of limouslnes and pal
aces. But somehow or other they find pub
lications to share with them their dripping
profits, and their lawyers have been able to
read most of the protection for the public out
of the statutes. No patent medicine of any
sort should be licensed for sale unless it car
ries with It warranty by the United states
Public Health Service that it will do what
It is advertised to do As such a warranty
could never be got, IL follows that the sale of
patent medicines should be outlawed en-

Stand and Deliver

THE farmers of the United States who
i raise grain cannot get any profit out OF
the great price they are willing to pay for
it on the other side of the sea, because the
whole profit is eaten up by the extortionate
charges for ocean carriage" says the Presi-
dent. He proposes, therefore, that the
United States buy ships to enable these
farmers to get full profit out of the great
price Europe is willing to pay And as the
price in Europe rises cent by cent, cent by
cent 1t rises in the United States. The Presi-
dents plan might very properly be described
as a scheme ito increase the cost of bread
in the United States for the greater profit
OF a few farmers and many spectators and
for the punishment of those who have to
buy what they eat

They used to call the morning
Along the silded street,
And then their rhymes were laughter,
And all their notes were sweet

Like 'ssraphim betrayed;
God must have heard their broken prayer
That made my soul afraid.

And then their songs wera tender

We shall not hear them sing again
At dawn or twilight hour

Washington GLADDEN., IN the Atlantic
it may be safely said that many schools IN
which morals are never taught from textbooks
or by formal exercises furnish a most silmu-
lating drill IN the higher and finer rnoralities
every day. Many OF Us know teachers who.
without much preaching convey, I'M all their
intercourse with their pupils, the influences and
qualities which purity and invigorate character.
A considerable acquaintance with teachers inn
presses me with the belief that the feeling of
their responsibility for the moral welfare OF
their pupils and their appreciation OF the values
or character are steadily deepening among
them. No profession Is So sacred that shallow
