Rotation, You Bet!

Oh. Nature makes the trees grow,
till tall and straight they stand; their
roots absorb the water that falls upon
the land, and the farmer cuts those
trees down, and puts them in his
stove, and though they turn to ashes,
they still are treasure trove; for the
farmer saves the ashes, and spreads
them on the earth, the ashes feed his
growing crop, which crops for all it's
worth, and the crops support his fam
lily, who live at peace and ease. and all
his sons are canny men, who plant a
lot of trees. So the trees that burned
to ashes, for new trees are combined,

Congratulations.

Now that the defeated candidate is
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt"
tina: his opponent is elected, let us be
thankful that it is all over. Let us
get down to normal conditions and
forget the late unpleasantness'' as
cans, all of US, and the man we have
chosen is the President of all of u.s.
If some of us see in him what, from
our viewpoint, appear as weaknesses
and mistaken policies. let us remem-
Der that to our next door neighbor he
embodes all the virtues.
Mr. Hughes has sent his congratu-
lations in /; kindly message to the
President. then why not we OF the de-
fcated half of Che people offer our con-
ordinations 20 the opposing good
follows who told us so" in the CAM
paign.
Under our form of government two
parties are necessary to national
progress where there is no opposition.
that there can be but poor or no
progress where there is no opposition.
The best builders of our tissue and
strength are our opponents and
critics.
President Wilson has been criticized
friends. but, unquestionably, a man of
his caliber has gained much from it.
We cannot doubt that his second term
will be far superior, SO far as his ex-
ecutive acts are concerned, to his first
He has learned much from the har-
rowing campaign through which he
has just passed.
Only yesterday man said to us: Il
think Mr.. Wilson has been assailed
more bitterly than any man in his
tory; he has been abused by your Re-
publican press which gave him credit
for nothing good"
Our friend had forgotten or never
knew much of history, for we need not
go even so far back as Lincoln; and as
for support Of President Wilson, our
readers will easily recall kennebec
Journal editorials, day after day. not
so many months ago, that stood
Loyalty with the President and upheld
his position.
Republican opponents of Mr.. Wilson
have made much of his unfortunate
reversed positions on many important
public questions, but the basis of the
abuse" to which his friends protest
has been the deadly parallel" of his
own utterances.
At this time we need NOT refer to the
campaign abuse of another great
American. Mr.. Hughes. The cam
paign is in the past; we are one people,
with one President. one hope, one fate
Narrow minded and selfish factions
may attempt to build themselves up at
the expense of the rest of us but he
that climbs high, unjustly, shall fall
low. justly.
The only Union to which Americans
can give absolute and undivided allie
siance is the American Union, and the
one who advises to the contrary is
dcmagos or a crook and unsafe to fol-
low.
We expect to criticize coming adj
ministrations as we have those in the
past; and we expect to give credit and
honest praise where we can find ex-
cuse Our Democratic readers will
hardly expect us to be other than Re-
publican in principle, but they have
right to expect us to be just, and they
would be disappointed in us II we were
other than that in either case.
SO let us offer our congratulations
and while they crow, let US meekly
bow and await our day.

Dropping of Counter
Suits Brings End to
Unusual Shooting Case
Special to the Telegraph

Findlay, Ohio, Feb. 10.-Just before
Miss Ada Warner. Al. was to have
been placed on trial here to-day on u
charged of shooting her former lover,
Norris II. Powell, 43 November IS,
last, it was announced that the charge
had been dropped by Powell on condi-
ton that Miss Warner drop her breech
of promise action against him for
$4,000.
This settlement marks the end of
one of the strangest cases ever brought
into the Ohio courts. Miss Warner
was charged with having donned
mems clothes and entered, at night,
Powells home where he lived alone,
demanded that he marry her and
when he refused she is said to have
shot him. He was found with bull
let in his lungs by neighbors and told
this story.
Miss Warner was found on hour lat
er at her own home a mile away with
knife wounds in her throat, having
evidently attempted suicide. Both
lowered near death for weeks and fin
ally recovered.
Miss Warner in her suit against
Powell charged that he promised to
marry her twenty-five years ago and
he failed to do so, that she waited
twenty years for him until his mother
died, and discovered he had decided
not to wed her.

Midvale Will Increase
$75,OOO,OOO to Care For
Cambria Purchase
.Speeia! to tic Telegraph

Philadelphia, Feb. 1O.-To finance
its acquisition of the Cambria Steel
company at an approximate cost of
S72,900,000, the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance company will issue $4,000
600 twenty-year five per cent. collat-
eral trust sinking fund bonds and
$25, 100000 stock now in its treasury.
The stock will be offered at $50 a
share.
The bonds are convertible into
stock at any time at 500 per share.
They will be issued and sold to the
Guaranty Trust Company and Lee,
Higginson & Co.. of New York. The
stock was authorized by the company
at its incorporation last Fall, but was
never issued. The stock issue has al
ready been underwritten by a syndi
cate, which will probably obtain a
commission of 21a per cent. This new
financing by Midvale means an in
crease in outstanding capitalization
from $75,000,000 to s15O,000,0OO.
The big issue of bonds will be safe
guarded by Midvale's enlarged earn
ings and its increased property valu-
alton, far in excess of the issue. The
payment of five per cent. on the $50
100000 bonds will mean $2,5OO. 900
annually. but the net income of Cam
bria Steel itself would be sufficient TO
meet this charge.

Award Of $1,000 to Canal
Stockholders May Result
in Recovery of $1,5OO,OOO
Sbeefal to the Telesrnbh

Philadelphia, Feb. 1O.-Judge Dick
inson, in the United States District
Court, yesterday filed an opinion in
which he awards Mrs. Alice Francis
Brown, of Providence, r. l., a bond
holder in the Pennsylvania Canal
Company, $1,000 with interest from
July !, 1910, against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
This decision is regarded as of far
reaching importance to other bond
holders in the canal company. There
are rulings which bear directly on the
interests of other bondholders. and
while Mrs. Brown is the only one TO
whom an award is fixed, the decree
that is to be entered later in the case
will reveal that the bondholders are
entitled to s1,500.000 from the rail
road. according to Attorney Thomas
Raeburn White, who represented Mrs
Brown and intervening plaintiffs in
the suit, whose bond holdings
amounted to between $500, 600 and
5000, 900.

charging violations of the neutrality
laws against consular representatives
of foreign governments prominent
businessmen and firms of San Francis
co and representatives of steamship

Consul General +. Bopp. Vice Consul

be issued for the other men indicted.
United States District Attorney John

those cases would probably be set at

Signs that u military operation of
