THE PRESIDENT AND THE RACE.

The country at large seems to be OF the opin-
ion that the speech of President Wilson at lndi-
annapolis last week the first real peep OF the
campaign for denomination and reelection OF the
head OF the nation and reading between the lines
almost gather that belief 1t certainly
was a good speech and finely and adroity pre-
pared. Without doubt Mr. Wilson, if he de
sires, can win the Democratic nomination hands

the November election. ANY sort OF vote cast
in the states i'll 1916 they were jill 1914 would
put him in the also class, for the Republicans
had all the best OF the argument. There VIII be
less Progressive votes in the future than in the
past. Mr.. Wilson is popular and has made one
OF the best presidents. But hard times with
the country over and every effort will be made
to keep things commercially at low eDD

for the effect it will have upon the voter. full
and complete return to national power is wanted
for the Republicans and just they in
anything but a bad position. But Taft or Roose-
velt or anv old leader of that party, could turn
the trick Brand new blood must be put to the
front and there a number OF rising sons
scattered throughout several states. Two years
is quite while and much be done i'll that
time to repair the broken fences OF the Demo
cratic party throughout the country and Mr. Viii

while his sun has a little cloud over it Just now
there is vast opportunity to have a fine clearing
up before the time for the fray.

Prejudice

He pricked his finger on rose
And then went forth to warn
His neighbors OF the bush that grows
A sharp and dangerous thorn.
Beware he cried, that little tree;
1t is an ugly thing.
For once it sorely wounded me
And you twill surely sting"
And so he went along his way
PrOclaiming loud his woes,
Advising every one to stay
In terror OF the rose.
And there are men who walk about
With logic just as sound,
OF other fellows pointing out
The faults that they have found.
They bid us heed their cry of 'sthorn,
And fail the rose to scan;
And they would blind us with their scorr
To what is good i'll man.

CHICKENS ARE
IN EVIDENCE
COURT SESSION

The tale of hen was told in court
today in the presence of Associate
Justice McMath, of the Jap Pea tri,
bunal, when George Anderson, an ex-
ceedingly black brother, was put upon
the judicial spit and roasted by states
counsel upon the charge of having dis :
turbed the dreams of sundry domi.
neckers while the pale moon hung low.
An aristocratic hen of game lineage
and owned by Judge ]. A. Hixon, was
also bone of contention.
The courtroom held a capacity audi
ence, full score of Lee street ladies
being among the army of witnesses ap-
pearing at the bar against the allege;t
puller of pullets, who was alleged to-
have held sway in southside memories.
Stacked up near the judges arena
were four coops OF chickens, holding
enough birds to bridge over a preach
ers' meeting at conference time. The
birds cackled and crew by turns, and
passers-by readily believed that a
poultry fair was being pulled off in
the temple. 1t was a most unusual
and barn-yardic spectacle there.
The testimony showed that Ander-
son had sold one coop. containing
twenty-one hens of ancient vintage
purling pullets and gamely games to
one of the witnesses even after night
had drawn her sable shades and pin i.
ned them with a star put the witnesJ
explained that he believed George
owned the birds. Judge Hixon's game
hen was also in evidence after yaca-
ton of two weeks from his yard, for
which he held George responsible.
After the testimony had been sum-
med up Anderson was discharged and
told to ramble right along, while the
tale of the hen was recorded upon the
sacred archives of the court
