WOULD NOT HAVE FALTERED
Had the Men of '61 Foreseen the Du-
ration of the War No DisIoyalty
Was Possible.

1t is true that no one foresaw how
gigantic war 1t was to be. The talk
at first was Of $4,000 men and 80
days. But suppose it could have been
foreseen that the conflict would last
four years; that 100000 men would
be enlisted on the Union side; that
the Union casualties would be, $1,000
killed in battle, 43, 1000 died of wounds,
1873 900 died from disease. and $4,000
Died in prison and by accidents, would
the awful toll have dismayed the loyal
people Of the nation? Would the
South have been more than sobered
by the corresponding losses for itself?
In the year after Gettysburg and The
vieksburg surrender the campaign to-
ward Richmond, beginning with the
Wilderness, was still to be fought
and TO prove the hloodiest episode OF
all. with the Union loss in killed and
wounded of over $4,000 in Virginia

SERVICE FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Having Cup on Matching Plate, With
out Saucer, Is Excellent Method,
for Obvious Reasons.

An easy way of serving a cup Of
tea is to place the cup on a matching
pate. and to put folded tea napkin,
a spoon and - fork on the plate. Then
pass whatever sandwiches or cakes you
may desire to serve with the tea. They
can be accommodated on the plate
and daintily and easily eaten.
If elaborate cakes or sandwiches are
served with tea and no plate is pro-
vided il is difficult TO manage them
balanced on the saucer of the cup. If
separate plate is held under the cup
and saucer, ii is practically useless,
for the saucer so nearly fills II that
the margin at the edge is not wide
enough to accommodate the cakes.
OF course when simple wafer or
easily eaten sandwich is to be passed
with the tea the saucer of the teacup
is sufficiently commodious to accom-
modate it

PARTY ON THE RUN
Democratic Leaders ForeSee
Certain Defeat.
Situation Now Is undeniably Favor

Become More SO as the
Months Pass.

Numberless indications point to Re

Taxes have increased. Wages have
declined. Despite abundant crops and
state OF peace. unemployment and
poverty I'LL the land. Nor has Demo
cratic administration impressed itself
upon the people as a moral benefit.
Nobody discovers new or commend
able influences of conscience in the
life OF the country. On the other
hand. many conditions tend to offend
the public judgment Commonplace
men I'LL large Official posts. From
whatever angle the Mexican policy
may be regarded, the impression
grows that our standing in the west
ern hemisphere is not what il was
that the administration has to a de-
gree made sacrifice OF the Monroe doc
trine; that somehow we have met a
large situation and instead of augment
ing our own authority and dignity in
connection with 1t, We have lost re-
spect and prestige.
There is a general feeling, too, that
We have not carried ourselves credit
ably In relation 10 the warning Euro
peans. No positive declaration of our
rights has been made; no ringing as
sertion OF American spirit has gone
forth TO sustain our national self-re-
spect. All these things together have
made a situation highly favorable to
the Republican party.
In addition, and likewise tending to
Republican advantage. We have wit
messed collapse of the movement in
augurated at Chicago following the
nomination Of MIR. Taft in 1912. Bull
Mooseism is dead. The multitudes
who fiocked to its banner have re-
turned to their old party Affiliations.
Everywhere. with the single exception
of California. where political chaos
still reigns, the Republican party is
a revived, an expanding, a hopeful
quantity. The fact Is admitted in the
conduct OF those who in terms deny
it. Democracy. only a little while
back aggressive, is on the defensive.
Arrogant presumption has given place
- explanation and apology Plainly
The Democratic party is on the run.
And its leaders. including President
Wilson. are vainly attempting to rally
its forces and revive its spirit.
