EXTRAVAGANTP RAISE IN
ENGLAND FOR PRESIDENT

London, June 12.-In two-column
triute to President Wilson, Alfred G.
Gardiner, editor of the Daily News
says:
NO man in the democratic world
today is so entirely overned by prin-
ciple and moral sanctions. President
Wilson is not merely the first citizen
of the United States, but the first cit
izen of the world. He makes mis-
takes, no doubt, for he is human, but
they ever are the mistakes of weak
man; they never are the mistakes of
political gambler,o r one touched
by sordid motives of ambition.
Emperor William has made many
mlscalculations about nations ana
mon, but his greatest miscalculation
was in regard to Mr.. Wilson and the
United States. incidentally, there
also has been much misconception on
the same subject in this county.
AhlO uGhOut .lHC wal His ulliluOlC HIS
conformed to the historic tradition of
the United States Of nonintervention
in European affairs, but he realizes
the world has changed and the Uni
ted States can no longer remain her.
metically sealed.
THE rupture between President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan will be one Of
the great landmarks of the war. 1t
is a mercy for the United States that
in the nomination struggle the amia-
BILE dreamer was defeated by the
statesman. In refusing to yield an
inch on the rights of American citi-
zens, President Wilson is defending
the sacred ark Of freedom. He will
not go to war if war can be avoided
with honor, but the integrity of the
United States is his supreme concern
and it is safe in his hands"

ADMIRATION
FOR WILSON in PARIS


Paris, June 12.-Unqualified admir-
alton for the firm, dignified and cour
teous tone of Presidet Wilson's note
to Germany is expressed by the Paris
newspapers. While it is considered
in no sense an ultimatum, the press
considers the language so clear as
to leave no room for dilatory tactics
or a complex controversy. President
Wilson, it is held, goes straight to
the point by inviting Germany to
state plainly whether she will respect
in future the rights of non-combat
ants and the laws of humanity.
The words solemn representations
which occur in the note, says the Pc
tit Parisien, sum up it's spirit Not
the perfect politeness
of it's tone the paper asserts such
words are not used in diplomatic doc
uments except i periods of real ten
sion. They are held to show that
President Wilson has decided on his
policy and nothing will induce him to
alter it.

FIRES DO DAMAGE AT
KNOTTsvILLE AND UTICA

The family residence of Ed Ken
nady, farmer residing in the
Knottsville neighborhood, was total
ly destroyed by fire, which had its
origin in defective fue. The fire
was discovered at IL o'clock and in
short while the house was reduced
to a mass of ashes. Much of the
household goods were saved. The
loss to the home is estimated at
about $500, with insurance.
The little town of Utica, east of
greensboro. was thrown into the
greatest excitement when a fire
broke out in the Utica -four mill. A
defective fiue caused smoke to issue
from the windows and fire alarm
was sounded. In a short time a
considerable crowd gathered and the
fire was extinguished before it gain
ed much Roadway.

only possible where two or more
political parties strive for suprema-

course, TO win through the success
OF their candidates before the peo-
pie. No party can hope to win un-
less there is harmony in its ranks.

One or two Democratic newspa-
pers in Kentucky are yet so bitter
against ex-Congressman A. o. Stan
ley that they seek to hold him up to
public scorn because he is defending
set of men accused of election
frauds over in Indiana. These are
the same papers of course that were
opposed to him last year and are
against him this year in his race for
Office. Much worse cases than the
Indiana affair have been defended
by eminent lawyers along the line
of regular business and their mo-
tives and characters were not i'm
pugned. A newspaper only jeopar-
dies its name for fairness and in
tegrity by going out OF its way to
indulge such tactics. All our candi-
dates should be treated fairly and
impartially.

JUST WHO PAYS THE
COST OF ADVERTISING?

Certainly not the consumer; GER
tainly not the retailer. Here is the
real truth of the matter. Money
wisely spent in advertising increas-
es sales and profits to such an ex-
tent that sufficient capital is pro-
vided for the operation of economies
naturally resulting from buying and
manufacturing in larger quantities.
The bigger volume of trade the
cheaper is the relative production.
In fact, as all leading advertisers
know, production is cheapened in a
much greater degree by advertising
than is represented by the money
spent in advertising. Were it 9TH
erwise there would be no use in ad-
vertising.
Much as We advertisers love the
newspapers, to whose revenues we
contribute so handsomely, We only
perform this service because We get
more out OF the publicity they give
us than they get out OF us-with
occasional exceptions. perhaps, which
are soon rectifed. But what is of
still greater importance is that. in
ratio with the cheapening OF pro-
duetion. there is a cheapening of
the advertised article to the public.

There has been considerable con-
fusion over the pronunciation OF
Przemysl. the doughty Galician gar
rison which held out for about six
months and recently capitulated TO
the Russians. Authorities disagree
as 10 the pronunciation of this word
which looks more like a Chinese
puzzle than anything else. Taking
the most reasonable choice of the
lot. however, "Szhay-meezle" or
"Pshe-meezle." the accent being on
the last syllable. seems to be the
most correct pronunciation. Off
cial Russian dispatches announce
that hereafter the city will be known
by its ancient Russian name, Per-
mysl, or "PermeezIe."
