PRESIDENT WILSON ON
 NE,lTTH

President Wilson was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the Associated Press in New York last evening when he gave his ideas OH the meaning of neutrality It was not inc first time that MT. Wilson ad- dressed the A. F. but the conditions last evening were vastly different from W hat they were when he first spoke to that organization Then the late Mayor Gaynor made an attack on William R. Hearst and one of the intter's licutcnanta, who Was in the randuet hall at the time, resented it and caused a great deal of excitement, {, all of which Mr. Wilson. then d lrivatc citizen, was a calm spectator.
 The presidents explanation of neutrality last evening, when he said 1t meant America first, will be re- mcmbered by all those who heard hlm and also those who read his speech. Let us think of America, |" he said. "so that when the war is over this country can be the friend of Europe when the test of friendship comcs.'' To help mankind Is his motto. his idea of the true meaning uf neutrality. Europe is now at war hut the great struggle vii, end as all such struggles have ended and it will need the help and assistance of this country in order to help restore it to it's former place in the industrial world. It will mean much to the bust inc great point now is to have this country maintain such 8 position as

Tho Open Season on Bryan.

(George Fitch in Golfers Weekly.D
 There has been a great disposition among republicans to be fair with the new administration as far as comment goes. They have given the presi- dent the benefit of the doubt and have been as bipartisan toward the cahi- net as could be expected from a party which hopes to eject the said admin istraton with loud shouts in 1916.
 Everybody speaks a kind word for our honored president and then gives the secretary of G'atc both barrels with nails in the charge. II is a beautiful system and keeps the republicans feel ing broad minded and virtuous be- cause criticizing Bryan doesn't count. The open season on him has lasted about twenty years now.
 That everything he does is regarded with cold disapproval by large num- Der of spectators. does not seem to lessen his weight. his chcerfuness or his activities. Undoubtedly he fell heir to the largest mess of interna- tional snars since Stewards time, but, ir addition. he has another duty, the size of which would appal any ordi- rary man. Since the opening of the administration he has been unofficial introducer of the democratic party to the president
 Bryan, of course, knows every dem- ocrat of prominence who has worked at 1t for more than four years. while not long ago the only Wilson known to vast numbers; of democrats was the one who made the highballs. In the job of fitting democrats to several thousand newly vacated positions the secretary of state has had to help out a whole lot--and it sometimes happens that two or more democrats have consented to take the same pu- stion. the amount of time required to sort them out has been very great.
 It is said that more applicants check in at the secretary of states office than anywhere else in Washinston, not cX- Ctptinc the White House.

DANGEROUS lEbILilF

Debility may rcsult from a number of causes-worry, aftcr-ciiccts of acute ill., ness, lack of nourislment due to dis. ordercl digestion, or anything that makcs the blood thin, thereby preventing t from carrying health and nourishmcnt to the tissues of the body.
 The symptoms of debility vary but weakness is always present, often tcn- dency to fatigue easily, ringing in tle ears, black spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, valentines caused by inability to stop thinking, and unre- freshing sleep.
 Debility is dangerous because it weak ems the body's defence against disease. For instance, debilitated people take cold easily and winter is always trying time for them. When ono cold follows another the system surely needs build ing up.
 The treatment of such rundown con- ditions with Dr. Williams Pink Pills is based on sound medical principles and common sense. These pills build up tho blood SO that it nourishes every part of the body, nerves as well as muscles and brings vigor, strength and health.

Emerson says in one of his essays that no man need hope to find any thing in Shak espearC that is nit all ready resident in himself This is to imply, no doubt, that all the great truths of existence are universal, the function ~f the sage and the philoso- phcr being merely to direct ones at tcntion to matters which otherwise might he overlooked. or which de- mand an interpreter rather than Il diSCOvCrcr to make the facts immcCli- atClN acceptable.
 In tho class of those who recall to mind truths that have but to be men toned to be admitted is the Chicago gentleman, one Lindsay Wynecoop. q doctor of medicine, who announces that symptoms of hook Wormitis in boy or girl arc indicative of good health. Iazinc&s i# also a sign that a lad is growing, while if he is sleepy or droW- Hy and generally afflicted with that ail-Gone feeling, it means that he is throwing certain poisons out of his system.
 The first impulse to have these ut torances inscribed in letters of gold hlaic$ way for moro practical suC Eestion. \ better way would be to have them struck off in plain type, and then displayed where they would do the most. good. There are said to be certain cotton mills in the south where they might we'll supersede the schedule of working hours for child fcn, while other factories In the north "oUld likewise find room for them The inSid" of dads hat, a small space on the hlaCl<board behind dear teacher thc WoodShed and the kitchen would ai&" seem to be ideal locations for spreading the gospel of growing patnS and tI@lr relation to that tired feeling

These, however. arc trivial exceptions to the prevailing rule. boy should have n chance to grow. especially in the early morning hours.

than at any other center in the world and since tho European war started the shoe factories have been running overtime turning out orders to sup pIv the demand abroad Right here is where the cloth shoetop comes in. For several years there has been nr increasing scarcity of leather. When the tariff was taken off hides a few years ago, the public thought it would result in q reduction in the price of footwear. but instead of coming down, tho price of shoes went up, and then there was a howl about the man ufacturers gouging the public by re- taining the difference in cost of leather under the old and new tariff. But the fact is that the scarcity of leather all along has regulated the price of shoes. and had the duty on leather been retained. shoe prices would have been n great deal higher today than they are.
 We have been getting some hides from South America and Australia. but not enough to meet the demand. The home supply has been steadily de- creasing, and it was because of il threatened famine in the leather sup ply that the manufacturers of shoes had to come to some plan whereby they could conserve the leather. That is tho principal reason for the in- troduction of cloth-top shoes. aud the fact that the new style met with al- most instant popularity was highly gratifying to the shocmakcrs."

The States Finances
(BridEepcrt Telegram.


 The most Xtraordinary miSappre
 pension seems to prevail in many quarters as to the facts of the state s linanceS, tho shortage, the need of q state tax and the reason therefor. 'Econ0mN" is shouted aN the watch word, when the fact is. that Conncc- ucut's affairs arc economically con ducted, especially as compared with other states. Tn" impending deficit IS attributed tn all sorts Nr things, but chiefly to expenditures for good roads. While it is true that if We had not spent any money in Connecticut for 2cod roads, we would not have de- felt, the persons who advance this argument must he very Sho sighted OF out of touch with the times. tt las been proved over and over again, l'; exact and reliable statistics, that good rUHh;; save mCnc% to com n'unttN~ y'1Nr money over and above their cost of construction nnd mann tcu1nCe. And the fact 0f the matter j.: that just as in other departments Connecticut has not expended any more money for good roads propor- i"natcly than other states have.
 The real reason for the deficit does rot lie here. He who would know why Connecticut iS again considering proposition to levy taxes upon cities -~l'p0n small homes and properties can find his ansWer by comparing the states tax receipts from the big cor pOrations, with the receipts of pre- vious years. Here is where the big shortage comes in. There are certain forms of property taxed only by the state, and exempted from local taxa tion. Hitherto. revenue from these sources has met the needs of the state Today. there is a deficit. not Orly because the states expenses have increased. but because it's income from taxation has ConspiCuously fallen off.

Fishing in tho North Sen.
(CIncinnati Enuuircr.O

Few people in the United Stat B realize how much the people of Great Britain and Ireland, of Belgium, Ger many and Holland depend upon tho ocean fisheries for their daily food.
 Through the mining Of the North sea by the bclligercnt powers and the operations of the war vessels. especial ly the subma rines. in the North and Irish seas and the English channel. these supplies of ocean food arc near ly all cut off from the inhabitants Of the countries named.
 Ii is said that more than 125,0o0 English, Irish and Scotch fisherman are without employment owing to tho destruction or detention of fishing craft by the war operations.
 During the year 1913 it is statsd that more than 100000 tons of fish food was taken from the North sea alone, and of this immense amount Great Britain secured for it's people upward Of 500,000 tons. The annual average consumption of fish in Greet Britain was twenty-five pounds per capita. The consumption of fish in Ireland was even greater per capita.
 Herring, haddock, cod and plaice comprised tho greater part of the fish caught in the North and Irish seas, and the immense quantities of these secured by the fishermen went far in the food supplies of the inha abitants of the adjacent countries.
 Germany is deprived of almost all of the supply formerly obtained from the North sea. and the Baltic fisheries arc very unproductive as compared with those of the North sea.
 Great Britain Is short of her usual supply, fully 1000 tons per day. and every week Of the war brings greater loss of vessels to her fishing fleets. Ninc steam trawlers are reported as destroyed since the first of April.
 The war news from Great Britain and that from all European countries coming through Great Britain is so severely censored that many items

Such muta- tions are cruelty trying to men who are constitutionally disinclined to adopt new methods, and who instnc- lively assume that what always has. been always will he.
