WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular Correspondent

WILSON'S BIG PROBLEM: - The
increasing realization of the people
of the absolute necessity of greater
preparedness for national defense,
the increasing Treasury deficit and
the openly avowed hostility of Demo
cratic leaders in Congress to anything
like adequate appropriations for mil
itary preparedness combine to present
to President Wilson perhaps the
gravest problem of his Administra-
ton. Mr.. Wilson's position is made
he has himself so long opposed ade-
quate expenditures for defense and
that his last annual message to Con-
gress was an eloquent brief for un-
preparedness. Since then Mr.. Wilson
appears to have learned some lessons
from the war in Europe, to have come
to appreciate how futile was Bel

cause of her lack of preparedness
and how Germany has been enabled to
fight four great nations by her extra
ordinary preparedness. Two of the
most prominent Democrats, however,
have learned no such lesson. Senator
Kern, leader Of the upper House and
close friend and protege of William }.
Bryan, has publicly announced his OPP
position to generous appropriations
for defense and so has Representative
Claude Kitchin, Democratic leader OF
the House. Furthermore Mr.. Wilson
is seriously hampered by the fact that
he exerted his great influence with
Congress to prevent the creation of
the commission proposed by Repre-

Mrs. d. e. f. has consented to act
as the head of a department II to
serve as an assistant in a department.
This entails much recording, many
continuous hours spent on the fair
grounds, and good deal of weari-
ness and vexation. But the service
is worth nothing if it is not entirely
free. If the fair management has to

ing in an affair that ought to be all
voluntary service.
Department managers could prob
ably reduce the number of helpers by
one-half and get as good results.
That would certainly be true il. some
cases.
If the directors of the fair could
save nearly a thousand dollars an
nually by refusing all complimentary
tickets, the people ought to be will

a thorough examination of her baby

the fact that the number of those thai

! contest at the Latsh Couny Fair is
limited to fifty will doubtless be the
means of Fastening many a parent in
the matter of notifying the superin-
tendent, Mrs William E. Wallace, that
such an examination is desired
No event during Fair week for the
two years just past has been more in
teresting and exciting than the Better
Babies contest, carried on in accord
ance with the instructions sent out by
the Womans Home Companion, the
originator of the movement. Both
fathers and mothers are proud of off
springs that can win prizes by their
high mental and physical standing;
those who have children who are be-
low par either physically or mentally
are glad to find out the facts, unpleas-
ant though they may be, in order that
the child's diet and training may be
satisfactorily modified.
"As only fifty babies can be ex-
amined during the allotted time, l
feel that every mother who is desir-
GUS of having her child entered in
the contest, should be advised of the
advantage in making an early appli-
cation stated Mrs. Wallace, super
intendent of this department. ''In so
far as possible l shall have the same
corps of able assistants who have
done the work so well in previous
years, and We are fortunate in secur-
ing the cooperation of physicians
without whom the task would be i'm
possible"
1.-THE choice of the first two days of
the fair and of the morning hours is, ] |

The Republican argument against
free trade is we'll given by Represent
alive Humphrey of Washington, who
said: "Under free trade you stop
production. You stop the demand
You throw men out of employment
and stop the payment of wages You
paralyze the entire industrial system
Of the country, and under a Demo-
cratic administration you can neither
buy at home nor abroad. Cheap
goods are of no value to the idle

questions that come up without
having to consult or be abused by

that the people have a right to in

victory for the people of Hemp

On the plea that the poll books
are sacred, and should not be
exposed to the public" the re
moval advocates have made a des-
perate fight to keep the contents
5of said poll books hidden. They
evidently overlooked the fact that
the law requires the judges Of an
election to keep a copy of the poll
books for the inspection of any
one Interested If the removal

their contention, it would only be
necessary for the proper" poll
books to get lost" when the loss
would be of advantage to the par

cover up the blacklist election
fraud simply by denying the PEG
pie the privilege Of inspecting the

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

The farmer gets more out OF
the fair than anyone else. The
fair to city man is an entertain
ment; to farmer it is education.
Let us take a stroll through the
fair grounds and linger a mo-
ment at a few of the points OF
greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department
and hold communion with the
worlds greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a con-
gress of the mental giants IN me

are addressing you in tongues OF
iron and steel and in language
mute and powerful tell an elo-
quent story of the worlds prog
ress. The inventive geniuses are
the most valuable farm hands we
have and they perform an en-
during service to mankind. we
can all help others for a brief
period while we live, but it takes
a master mind to tower into tile
realm of science and light a torch
of progress that will illuminate
the pathway of civilization for
future generations. The men who
gave us the sickle, the binder,
the cotton gin and hundreds OF
other valuable inventions work
in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as
time. Their bright intellects have
conquered death and they will live
and serve mankind on and on
forever, without money and
without price. They have shown
us how grand and noble it is to
work for others they have also
taught us lessons in economy and
efficiency, how to make one hour
do the work of two or more
have heightened our lives, multi
piled our opportunities and taken
toll off the back. Of. humanity.
They are the most practical
men the world ever produced.
Their inventions have stood tie
acid test of utility and efficiency,
Like all useful men, they do not
seek publicity, yet millions OF
machines sing their praises from
every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in
mute applause of their marvellous
achievements.
