Cardui, the woman tonic. II has helped
more than million women, in its so

mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

THE STATE COMMITTEE.

The newspapers are PERSISTENT!
publishing the rumOr that Gov. Rye
dissatisfied with the selection of its
own chairman by the State Demo

mittee of his own, independent of the
regular party organization, to look al
ter his personal interests in the com
ing campaign.
We hope this rumor is groundl1ss
We sincerely want to see Gov. Rye re
elected. He has carried out in gJot
faith the party pledges made when he
was first nominated, and deserves re
election. He was unanimously no.ni

WILSON ASSERTS
STAND UNCHANGED

Washington, Aug. 3.-President
Wilson has not changed his position
that the woman suffrage question
should be dealt with by the states, it
was announced today at the White
House. The statement was brought
forth by the announcement yesterday
of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
nominee, that he favored an amend
ment to the Federal constitution Civ
ing the vote to women.
A delegation of suffragists saw the
President yesterday and afterward in
Dictated they believed he would make
a new statement on the question be-
fore the convention of the National
American Woman Suffrage AssOcia-
ton in September. At that time the
policy to be pursued in the presiden-
tial campaign will be determined by
the national suffrage organization.
Today Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the President and
afterw ard announced that Mr.. Will
son's position on the subject was I'M
changed. This position, as outlined
several times to suffragist delegations
within the last three years, is that
while he favors votes for women, he
is opposed to Federal action.
The President voted for woman's
suffrage in New Jersey last year.
1t was indicated that today's an
nouncement was final.

DEUTSCHLAND HAS DEPARTED.

Baltimore; Aug. 1.-The German
merchant submarine sailed today on
her return voyage to Germany, leay-
ing her pier at Locust Point at 5: 40
p. m.
AS the Deutschland left the wharf
flags were run up on the informed
North German Lloyd liner Neckar and
her crew lined the rail cheering and
shouting their farewells to their coun-
trymen in the Deutschland.
Capt. Paul Koenig said that he
would take the Deutschland safely
home in spite of the allied warships
waiting for her off the Virginia capes.
Capt. Koenig and his crew of 81
men put to sea with the knowledge
that man had telephoned agents of
the entente allies that the Deutsch-
land had started They knew how
long he had watched at the end of
nearby pier, day and night, but the
captain went out of Baltimore har-
bors smiling and waving his cap. His
last words in the harbor were of
praise for America and for his treat
ment here by customs authorities.
To Guy Steele, surveyor of customs,
he said:
I'VE came here dubious about our
reception. We go back certain that
the friendliest of feeling exists in
America for Germany. You have been
more than courteous, and the father
land Will not forget it."

GEOGRAPHICAL DOUBLES.
(From London Chronicle.)

Accidental doubles of geography are
very curious. There are two totally
unconnected Galicias, the present
scene of strife and the one in Spain.
AS to the Carpathians, the doubling
occurs between the ancient and the
modern aliases. On the map of the
ancients we find a people named
Carpi in the north of what is now
Hungary, and north of them the Car
pathus Mountains. But "Carpathian"
in Virgil, Horace and Ovid means
something quite different. The Car
pathian Sea was the sea between
Rhodes and Crete, from the island of
Carpathus, now Scarpanto. and the
'Carpathian old man" was Proteus,
VINO lived and no doubt practiced his
quick-change tricks there.

UNIFYING EPISCOPAL METHOD
ISMS.
(By Rev. John NJ. Grove, NJ. A, Hol-
ston Conference.)

"Watchful waiting" has been our
attitude for some time, as we have
read the mind of the Church in our
periodicals, hoping to read some sug-
gestions touching the possible solu-
ton of the real problem involved. The
difficulties in the way of unifcation
have been brought forward, probable
evils and possible pelils have been
apprehended and deprecated, matters
of mere expendiency have been dis
cussed, fear of the sinister design 10
absorb the minor force and destroy
its identity has been spoken, sectional
pride has repealed the idea of SEEM
ing to go back into another Church,
and so on ad nauseam. But what
about the historic, basic, constitu-
tional question demanding mutual
concessions, disposing of the thing
that divided us? For, cOnfessedly,
the thing is still there, if we accept
the recommendation of the Saratoga
General Conference and make the
General Conference of the reunited
Methodism Legislative, Judicial and
Executive. rs there no balm in our
Giliad, no physician there to heal the
hurt" in our body ecclesiastic? If |
am not mistaken, and | do not think
| am, the assumption and assertion OF
the Judicial function by the majority
of the General Conference of 1914 as
a coordinate prerogatiye of the leg
islative body brought on all the trou-
BILE. Let the good and great men
North magnanimously concede their
anomalous contention, making the
law-making body the law-judging
body.
If | am not mistaken, and | hope
| am not, the investiture of the Epis-,
copacy in the Southern Church with
quasi-judicial prerogatiye as a CO.
ordinate prerogative of the Executive
administration, with a provisional APP
peal to the Annual Conferences for Ill

tutional, is liable to embarrassment
and open to just criticism. Let the
good and great men South magnani-
mously concede their anomalous sit
uation, making the law-executing the
aw-judging body.
AS to this Judicial prerogative let
the Joint Commission recommend
that it be lifted out of the Legislative
Department North and out of the Elk
ecutive Department South, and put in
a Supreme Appellate Court composed
of an equal number of bishops,
preachers and laymen. Here let all
appeals rest on matters cOnstitu-
tional. Now, you have an almost
brand new Episcopal Methodism, and
let us both move into the new house,

PEOPLE SAVING MONEY.
buffalo Express.

During June there was a net gain
of $3,S00,O00 in the postal savings.
Nothing could better show the pros
perity of the country than this. The
increases naturally are mainly in the
industrial centers, large and small,
for it is those places that men are
working for higher wages than ever
before.
The savings shown in the postal de-
partment are in line with the savings
shown in banking reports from all
parts of the country. 1t could not
be hoped that the savings were great
er, for greater they would be if the
workers were willing to lay aside
more money in these days Of pros
perity The wise ones will strain
themselves to save, for they know
that the prosperity will not continue
forever. 1t must end not very long
after the war ends, and that will
mean a pinch that will be felt by ev-
erybody. Those who can best weather
the REIMBURSEMENT will be the ones who
have laid away money when money
came easily and plentifully. There is
SO elusive as easy money"
1t is the hardest kind of money to
hold.
