about the work Sof the Prisoners Re-

general manager. 1t took place in the
Presidents private Office at the
White House. budding was accom-.
panied and introduced by Senator w.
3. Chiffon.
Earl budding has ''done his bit" in
the penitentiaryS at Moundsville. He
shot and killed his uncle, and those
who know the details OF the tragedy,
many OF them at any rate. believe
that budding should never have been
convicted. They claim that he should
have been acquitted for he shot in
5elf defense.
However, budding wore the stripes
and when he got out Of prison he
came forth with o purpose, q very
high and noble one, to assist the FAM
illes Of men In prison. President Viii
son was much interested not only in
the man who had come back, but what
he has undertaken to do. He asked
the ex.conyict many questions, and
was evidently impressed with the am
swers given. budding Is an intelli.
gent well.born man. and holds his
head high, looks straight into !, the
eyes, and talks fiuently. He and the
President talked about the work being
done by budding for about twenty
minutes. Length OF time which proved
that President Wilson was interested
IN his visitor and in the humanitar.

T-HE UNITED STATES Is on the threshold Of another

II should be. Is better than 1T was this time last
year Last winter businessAwas the downward path
while this season finds business all over the country
picking up The immense war orders that have been
pouring into this country from the nations across the
water, together with the exceedingly good crops this
year and the immense export business Of the United
States has held up the volume Of business and made
the outlook for this winter brighter than before
Undoubtedly the has been the Of saving the
country during the past year. and IL It lasts until the
next general election, when the Republican party will
have been restored to power and protective tariff put
into effect which will check the food Of foreign cheap
ware into this country the end of the war the pros
periy Of the United States is insured for several years
to. come at least
The need protective tariff which will protect
the industries Of the United States at the close Of the
great struggle in Europe is realized in every section
OF the country, the Democrats themselves admit
that the Underwood tariff has been failure and that It
would fall down miserably and would give protection
at all to the manufactures Of this country against the
great influx OF cheap from Europe, should the
war suddenly be brought to a close.
The recent elections show the trend Of the times in
politics, and Il Is certain that the 1915 presidential
election the people Of this country will throw aside
the Democratic regime which has been gigantic fail
ure and again put the Republican party in control Of
national anairs.

DR.. Frank Cross Writes of Trip to
ENGLAND.

Many acquaintance Of DR.. Frank
Cross, an old time Leon boy, will read
the following interesting letter writ
ten by him to Mr.. Arthur Forbes of
this city with considerable interest.
DR.. Cross was enroute home from q
visit to England when the letter was
written.
r. M. S. Metagama, Nov. 6, 1915.
Mr.. Arthur Forbes, Leon, Iowa.
Friend Forbes-No doubt you will
be surprised to hear from me, as 1t
has been some years since ]
have written to you, and also
from as unexpected a location as
this, as we are just now in sight of
both the English and Irish coasts
All windows aboard ship are darken-
ed at night, life boats are all hang
ing out ready for instant use in case
of necessity, and am sitting here
writing to you with life belt tied to
my shoulders, as we have been given
orders to carry them with us all the
time, and were sent back from the
breakfast table when we appeared
without them:
However, no one seems alarmed,
as the officers tell US there is very
slight danger, but past catastrophies
make it wise to take every precau-
ton. I think old England has
smashed the submarine campaign,
but there is still danger of mines.
We came over on the S. S. New AM
sterdam, OF the Holland American
line. Had DR.. Dumba aboard. We
landed at Falmouth, a quaint old
English city of Cornwall, which with
Penzance, is remembered for it's
shady piratical history of other days.
AS aliens in England we were SO
inconvenienced by reporting at police
stations (even my wife who was born
in the city of Nottingham) that a
tour of England is now hardship.
However, there is one thing surprised
me, the people seem very prosperous,
in that although prices have nearly
doubled, wages have advanced ac-
cOrdingly, and help is short.
If anybody should ask you about
the ultimate outcome of this war,
Journey through this country con-
vinces me that old England is out to
win it. We have come through the
country, south to north, and every
where there are soldiers, long trains
VI JIOOpS 1CdSAA6 Iva i 1AS0 "a LIZ
Dardanelles, hardy fellows of proper
age, and there are hundreds Of
thousands of men who have been in
training nearly a year, and total of
nearly two millions already in arms,
and yet the call is still going out for
more.
Four years ago spent much time
at Folkestone, Dover and Hythe on
the Straits of Dover, which is now
the scene of great activity, SO that we
have avoided it. At some time you
should take a jaunt through Eng
land, which the American traveller,
Elmendorf, states to be the most
beautiful country in the world. A
thousand years of cultivation has
made the whole country gigantic
park. Furthermore, the same lam
guage, names and customs nearly
make you forget at times that you
are q foreigner, and young English
men have told me they did not regard
Americans as foreigners.
So long,
F. Cross.
