Opal Feels Climatic Changes.

The opal is stone with temper"
The diamond rises superior to climate,
as does the ruby, the emerald and the
sapphire, but the opal is of such deli
cate organization that, when exposed
to severe cold, it loses color. and under
comes dull. 1t is Il curious fact, how
ever. that the temperature Of ones
hand will cause it to resume its wont
ed fire and brllancy, as will also be
the case when it is exposed to the d.
rect rays of the sun.

PEACEORWARTHEISSUE

Speaking at Battle Greek, Mich, Sep
TENDER 80, last, Theodore Roosevelt
said:
"a have been asked what ! would
the lusitania was torpedoed.
"a would have instantly taken pos
session of every German ship interned
in this country and then ! would have
said: Now we'll discuss, not what
we will give, but what we will give
back"
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
WAR!
1t would have been a challenge to
the German nation to trial at arms.
1t would have been violation of ev-
cry principle of neutrality, and at a
time, with all Europe under arms,
when this country was the trustee Of
and the only nation capable of uphold
ing neutral rights.
an act Of war, just as the seizure Of
German informed ships by Portugal
was regarded as an act of war and
was followed by an immediate dec
laration Of war by Germany against
Portugal.
Following the same line of war talk,
speaking at Lewiston, Maine, August
81, last, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"The policies of Americanism and
preparedness, taken together, mean ap-
piled patriotism. There should be cor
relation Of policy and armament.
America. which sprang to the
succor of Cuba in 1898, has stood an
idle spectator Of the invasion of Bel
GUM, the sinking of the Lusitania, the
continued slaughter of our own citi-
zens, and Of the reign of anarchy, ra-
pine and murder in Mexico" H
These are the deliberate declara-
tons Of the men with whom Candi-
date Hughes has said, 81 AM IN COM
PLETE ACCORD" and Hughes has
publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said.
From their public statements the
conclusion is inevitable that if either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presi-
dent when the Army of the Kaiser In
vaded Belgium we would have had war
with Germany; that when the Lusi-
tania was sunk that we would have
had war with Germany, and that now
we would have instant war with Ger
many over the submarine raids in the
Atlantic ocean off the Massachusetts
coast.
Must we not agree with President
Wilson when speaking at Shadow
Lawn on September 80, last, he said:
Am l not right that we must draw
the conclusion that If the Republican
party is put into power at the next
election, our foreign policy will be ra-
Ideally changed?
II cannot draw any other Inference.
All our present foreign policy is wrong,
they say, and if it is wrong and they
are men of conscience they must
change it.
And if they are going to change it,
in what direction are they going to
change? THERE is ONLY ONE |
CHOICE AS AGAINST PEACE, AND
THAT is WAR;"
No other conclusion can be drawn.
What Is YOUR conclusion. thought
full citizen?
In the last analysis, the election will
be decided by the farmer vote. And
so on the farmer is the responsibility
Of whether this country shall have
peace or war.
The only assurance that the country
will not be needlessly plunged into
var is for YOU to vote for Woodrow
Wilson.
FOR PEACE OR WAR your con-
'eienee and your vote must decide.

statement is absolutely false! 1t is

passed in Iowa providing for the paw
ing of country roads; and Harding
himself introduced and secured the
passage of a section which assessed
