Two Years of Wilson.
A Democratic View.

Deen q mighty puSy t"o years ioi ene
administration. All records were
broken for continuous session OF
Congress and what has been accom-
plished makes remarkable showing
Not since the Civil War has any
single Congress enacted so much leg
islation of Importance. Some Ques-
tions of import will. remain for set
tlement by the Sixty-fourth Congress,
though the party has fulfilled in good
measure the pledges made when IL
came into power. Read this partial
list of what Congress has done.
Enacted tariff law revising down.
ward virtually all schedules affecting
articles of food, clothing and shelter,
and revising upward most schedules
affecting luxuries.
An income-tax law.
A new banking law, which COM
mands the respect of business men and
financiers generally.
A law creating Federal trade COM
mission, which is expected to promote
the good in business and eliminate the
evil.
A law revising the antitrust stat
utes, exempting labor and farmers or
CARNATIONS from those statutes; and
abolishing interlocking directorates
in big business.
An agricultural extension act, which
is intended to carry the results of the
Department of Agriculture's research
work direct to the men and women on
the farms.
A law which affords the government
better facilities for settling railroad
and industrial disputes.
A law providing for the construc-
ton Of railroad in Alaska, intended
to open UP that territory to civilization
and development
An anti-narcotic law, intended to
break up the traffic in habit-forming
drugs.
A law revising the consular service
and intended to place it on strictly
merit basis.
A law combining the revenue cutter
and lighthouse services into the coast
guard. which in times of war will be
used in coast defenses.
A law intended to break up gam
bling in cotton.
The repeal Of the tolls exemption
clause in the Panama Canal act, which
violated treal les with England and 9TH
er foreign nations. and which granted
subsidy of several millions a year
to the coastwise shipping trust
The present Congress has devoted
more time to legislation, counting the
special session, than any since the
reconstruction days. War exigencies
presented many problems that re-
Quired prompt and vigorous action.
and claimed much of the time of the
last session.
So sound have the Presidents poll
cies been that in nearly every instance
they have been enacted into law. No
president has taken keener interest
in legislation, and Mr.. Wilson's revi-
val of the custom of delivering his
terse messages direct to joint sessions
emphasized his earnestness.
His avoidance of more serious Diff
fculty with Mexico by his "watchful
waiting" attitude must meet the COM
mendation Of all. His declaration of !
strict neutrality regarding the bellig-
erents of the European war was anoth-
er piece of wisdom. As q nation we
stand for worldwide peace and true
to his presidential duty Mr.. Wilson has
maintained this peaceful attitude.
With two years of Wilson fnd DEM
ocracy yet before us we may look
forward to continued afvancement

You TAKE NO CHANCES HERE FOR We PAY YOU TO TRY
Six Prizes in All and rs Per Cent Cash Commission Those
Who Fail to Win Prze-A Business Proposition From the
Ground Up Worth Five Minutes Reading and Careful Con
sderaton.

Our proposition is just as good as
the headlines denote. No sham to it.
It's all right straight from the shoul-
der; a business proposition based on
business principles and for the am
bilious people of this locality. We
are addressing this to you as well as
anyone else. If you have wished for
an automobile. and thought probably
you would some day purchase one,
read on and you'll learn the details
of an offer the like of which you nev-
er heard. Did anyone ever offer to
pay you for irving to get an auto
mobile? Certainly not, but when you
reduce our offer to brass tacks" you
find that we are offering you just
that. Let's get into the matter a
little further now.Of the most inn
portance is the fact that we are 60
ing to give away a 1915 model Ford
tive-passenger touring Car. That's
really the most important item; af-
ter that comes the beautiful dia,
mond ring, then the scholarship.
A chest of Community silver and
two watches and the, special prizes
All of these we offer to the ambitious
people who will devote a portion of
their spare time to the contest.
which will last about seven or eight
weeks. Now, that would seem quite
enough, wouldn't it. But we are not
going to stop there; we are going to
give everyone who does not win a
prize, Is per cent of the amount
they turn in on new subscriptions,
provided they make a cash report
each week,
Are We Generous or Reckless?
Well, we guess it's a little of both.
We want to increase the circulation
of the Democrat and we want to do
it quickly. That's our main reason
for putting on this campaign, but of
course, renewals of old subscriptions
and collections will count votes, too.
We would rather consider ourselves
Generous than reckless. Of course,
the offer is very generous. but with
us it is a give and take" proposition
you help us and we'll help you. Let's
call it mutual benefit and let il

benefit from it.

The beautiful diamond that will
be given as second grand prize will
soon be on display. Diamonds always
have a cash value, and the tendency
to increase in value with each
succeeding year makes this, an es'
pecially attractive prize.
A scholarship in a good business
college has an actual commercial
value. and the knowledge that ont

of this prize will figure his or hel

scholarship. he or she will certainly
