WAR PATH0S IS
SEEN IN LETTER
Of AUSTRIAN
LIEUT.. WIRCO DESCRIBES
BATTLE IN WHICH lie
is WOUNDED

Vienna, July 1.-THE pathos OF
the great war finds striking ex-
pression in the following letter from
one. Lieutenant Wirico, OF the Aus
,rian army, to an intimate friend In
Vienna:
, "This will be my last letter. he
writes, "and | address 1t to you, De-
cause YOU will understand me better

as gently as possible the reasons

she asks for my address do not give
1t to her. She would only send me a
long tear-stained letter, which would
rend my heart with grief
The officer then proceeds to de-
scribe battle in which he was Sc
yerely wounded, and condrues;
"Two days later regah,ed full

Wirico.
1T is all very well for people to
say that wounds received in battle
are to be valued higher than medals
and that a soldier should glory In
his scars. But only once have d
dared to gaze at my hideously dis
torted face in looking glass, which
the nurse held over me. That was
enough; little Winni must never see
me thus. She must remember her
lieutenant as he looked at their last
parting"

POLITICAL GossIps

When one class of people has any
thing to say, 1t has become largely
the custom to make political issue
out of 1t instead of friendly discus
sion, to print it in law book instead
OF a newspaper and to argue IL be-
fore a Jury Instead of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
As result, political agitators, polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful In
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
In public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun-
derstanding envelops public thought
1t breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing win choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
Interpreters of industry who are in
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No busi-
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitstes
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman--the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people. Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
In commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under.
stands. Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people

SAYS BRYAN
| WILL DEFEND
! !: MR.. WILSON
AND THAT PRESENT WHITE
HOUSE OCCUPANT WILL
BE UNOPPOSED

Washington, July 17.-That next
year will find ExtSecretary lBlyan
employing his talents in yindica
tion of the record made by the VIII
son administration was an opinion
expressed here by REPRESENTATIVE w
R. Smith of Colorado City, Texas
The Democracy will again present
Wilson as its nominee, Mr.. Smith
said, and expressed the conviction
that he would be reelected without
difficulty.
President Wilson has completely
and bitterly disappointed his politi.
cal enemies.' said Mr. Smith, who
predicted and hoped for failure OF
his administration. No president has
had larger or more difficult prob
iers to solve, yet who will say he
has not met them with steadfast
courage and solved them vita wis
dom?
1T is true that some are predict
ing that Bryan will lead revolt, but
with them the wish is father to the
thought. The ex-Secretary and the
president do not at this time agree
as to the best method of maintaining
reace with honor, and as the matter
involves a question Of conscience
with Mr.. Bryan his resignation from
the cabinet merely gives anothor
convincing proof of his high moral
character and courage. Upon every
other question, foreign and domestic,
they are in entire accord, and u have
no doubt that next year will find the
superb talents of Mr. Bryan employ
ed in vindication of the magnificent
record President Wilson and DEM
ocratic congress have made.
"The false prophets who now, rs
many times before, predict disloyal-
ty on the. part of Mr. Bryan to his
party, will again find that his want
of agreement with the president up
on only one question will be no in
centive to him to betray his party into
the hands of that party organization
with which he disagrees on all ques-
tions and which he has spent so many
years of his life in fighting.
Republican calamity bowling will
not get the opposition anywhere in
the next campaign. The country
well understands that whatever de-
preston of business there was has
disappeared and could not anyway
intelligently be charged to anything
the administration has or has not
done. Even If it could be, the Re
publican party would have to base
it's appeal on something else, in view
of the great business depression

when that party had control OF the

which was so completely and over
whelmingly repudiated two years ago
by the American people"

The first lady who asks the man carrying the envelope, Have you the prize enyelope?" will be awarded the prize for that hour
