the Congressional Union is being used,
at the present time, as n tool by the
forces In this country which have
fought, and will continue to fight, equal
suffrage.
am for Wilson because throughout
his administration he has continuously
made his appeal from the jinsling Of
dollars to tho rights of man.
] am for Wilson because he moved
the Capitol of the country from Wall
Street back to Washington, and be-
cause he has withstood the forces, now
back of Hughes, who have sought to
remove it TO Berlin.
l am for Wilson because he has in
deed shown himself more interested
in the fortune of oppressed men and
pitiful women and children"-whether
in Mexico or in America-than in his
own personal fortune. Thank God no
is not "a hundred per cent. candidate"
but hundred per cent MANI
1 am for Wilson because, whatever
his fortune at the coming election, his
achievements have given him n su.
preme place In the list of American
presidents because his voice, during all
those burdened years, has been the
clear, old-timo voice OF America: the
voice that to some of us had seemed
muted and overborne by class hatreds
and racial hatreds. and the snarling
scramble for dividends.
However Tho ming election may
turn, the J.. ses of American history
which President Wilson has written
these past four years Will be forever
illumined with the white light of stars,
and our children and grandchildren
will indeed have cause to thank God
for Woodrow Wilson.

"Well, With the election only a little
over month away, what do you think
of the outlook" 1t was a prominent
member of the Democratic party that
was asked this question a few days
ago.
Il am more than pleased with the
outlook in both the state and nation,
was his reply. Then he went on to
state his reasons.
The only possible chance that
Hughes has to win the national cleo
ton is by reason of the vast amount
OF money that certain rich men, the
interests and Wall street will use IN
his cause; but Wilson Will poll a won.
derful popular vote, and do not think
that, for all the money that is in back
of him, Hughes can defeat Wilson.
Henry Ford put the finishing
touches on the rantings OF the Re
publicans. When Henry Ford came
out fiatfootel for Wilson in state
ment published In the press of the
nation last week, he knocked the ar
gument OK the Republicans against the
eighthour day into a cocked-hat SO
to speak. Henry Ford is one OF the
keenest business men I'm the United
States. The eight-hour day has been
used In the Ford factories for over
three years, and business has increas.
ed under 1t each year. Henry Ford
hit the nail on the head when he
said: The man who kicks against the
eight-hour day does not know his own
business
And aside from purely business
reasons, Ford said that he is going
to vote for Wilson because Woodrow
Is on to- the interests and is holding
them in check, as was shown by the
fact that ne refused to rush into a
wer with Mexico in order to save the
dollars that Wall street had gambled
on Mexico.
"As. to the state, i am sure that
Cornwell viii be returned a winner
over Ira Robinson, Hatfeld's candi-
date. II the election we're tomorrow
l am sure that Cornwell would win by
at least $4,000, and do not think that
he win lose any ground between now
and the day OF the election. The PEG
pie OF West Virginia are tired OF the
Hatfield way Of doing business, and
they have decided that now Is the time
TO knock the Hatfield gang out OF Of
nee. Robinson does not deny that he
is Hatheld's candidate, for he cannot
weil do so and the people will not
vote for any person who represents
1iatneldism."

BAD ROADS CAUSE ACCIDENTS
Claims Made on Insurance Company
for Four Deaths From MIshaps
Due to Faulty Highways.

Do we need good roads? The report
Of a Chicago travelling mans insur-
ance organization covers the payment
OF ten death claims for the first so
days of the year. and of these four
were deaths resulting from motor-car
accidents due TO bad roads.
II is singular that these four deaths
occurred one each in the four north
western states Of Minnesota. the Da-
kotas and Montana.
IN each case the travelling mems or.
ganizatlon paid $4,000
This furnishes a striking example
% the financial and economic loss
charged up directly to bad roads.

of the lighter draft and less damage
to the fields.
One of the main points in favor OF
the wide tires is that their use great
ly improves the roadbed, as they will
pack the top soil making, the roadbed
firm and thus enabling - to drain

will not cut up the meadow or field

also important, 40 a smooth surface

CHURCH PENSION FUNDS ESTIMATES
 BEEN VERIFIED

The Church Pension Fund Is new able to announce that a scientific examination of the vital statistics covering 9S1a per cent Of all the clergy of the Church has now been completed.
 This examination was made by a wen.known insurance actuary, ard it is found that S5,O64,OOO will be suf- ficient to ensure the minimum pen. sion benefits for the clergy who may shortly reach the age of 6G. or their widows and orphans.
 Once the plan 1t instituted, the sys. tenn can be supported by the annual payment of 7.4 per cent. Of the current salary paid by each parish.
 Thus. the preliminary estimates or the Church Pension Fund are thoroughly verified, and there can be no further doubt that under the plan adopted and now soon to be instituted. all the clergy O. the Church will be definitely assured that in their old age beth they and their families will be cared for--not as a charity but because the Church will then have arranged to pay what it has owed all along.

LETTER TELLS
 OF A MURDER
 BY JAPANESE
Motive for Recent Crime to the Westward Told in Effects Found
 by Marshal.
MAN AFRAID OF HIS LIFE

VALDEZ. July S1.-On June n, at Sanborn Harbor. Nagai Island, one of the Shumagn group a Japanese ran amuck, killed two of the fisher. men at the fishing station there. wounded three others. and set fire to several of the buildings, follow ing which he killed himself.
 Tho coast guard steamer Unalga yesterday brought mall from that place. and among the letters receiv- ed by the marshars office is one from the Jap who committed the crime, and sheds much light on the story CT the killing and the causes leading thereto.
 The letter was written in Japan csc. apparently few days before the shooting too place. and was trans. lated into English by another Jap anese. It reads as follows:
 Citizen Of Imperial Japan hereby gives not to Sir Marshal:
 "I came here from San Francisco as cook for the fishermen last spring, but one man often intimidate me by saving. This is word from govern ment.' So 1 quit the job. Then after
 came Co this place the men intimi- date me more than ever. They said: We will kin you by the hand of the governor. if that is impossi- ble we will get a man killer to kill vou Such plans were made to kill me so I killed them and myself in- stead of getting killed myself for nothing.
 "Now officer. how would you judge about this. what would you do under the circumstances! Suppose there were eight men in gang. one of the eight tried to save me. but he' too. was then intimidated. which made me grieye for this man.
 "I did not mean to kill SO many people. was aiming at one.
 JAPANESE MURATA.'
 CT wish you would stop this treat ment from the American govern ment.'
 This letter was found among the effects of the Jap after the crime and was forwarded here. 1t tells story of persecution at the hands of the rough fishermen, who, find ing time hanging heavily upon their hands. amused themselves by scar ing the ignorant Jap and as a conse ouence. brought upon themselves a heavy punishment.

PRIVATE LETTERS SELDOM CENSORED
 BY THE BRITISH
Few Are Held up but 1. Is Different with the Trade Letters

BOSTON, Aug. D. - The Globes London correspondent, allowed to examine British mail censorship describes the taking of 2O2 mall sacks from the Dutch liner Fal mouth with police representatives including two women, to make any needed search among the 24O passen- gers from the United States.
 As many as five ships day are handled, and the largest mail con- slgnment so far was 1929 bags, ev- cry sack being accounted for. The mail is sent to London and handled by 15OO censors, men and women, and reaches Holland two days ahead of the ship.
 By system Of initials and figures, everything passed goes back into the original sack, Papers and goods go through three comblngs. Certain German and Hungarian papers are thrown away, but no American.
 No trade letters are blue'penclled, but either go through or do not, probably per cent being stopped, Only one, case has been found of a censor letting trade secret leak out. or the private letters not one half of one per cent. are held Sev- eral spies have been caught through this means. The checking system would enable the tracing back to the individual censor of registered mall six months later The censor ship costs SS.75O,OOO a year. The ser. vice has so improved that delays of ten days to three weeks in early days have been reduced to two days on mails in the United States and four days on inward bound mail; on June 6. 76 mail bags of 1000 letters each, were taken to London, cen

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-one of the notable features of this session of Congress is the absence of an Alaskan lobby. In former years Washington was filled with men seeking Alaskan legislation of one sort or another, but that has all been changed. The passage of the railroad bill sent some them away. others left when the coal leasing bill passed. And as one after anoth- CT of the Alaskan problems are be- ing settled, Alaskan lobbyists have disappeared until there are none left.
