AS to Keeping Out Of War.

Much has been made of President
Wilson, by his supporters, for the fact
that he has kept the United States out
of war. Mr.. Wilson himself, during
his preparedness tour, has taken pains
to draw attention to the circumstances
that he has preserved peace, as if that
were a special virtue to be borne in
mind in this year Of accounting, with
the national conventions approaching.
But read what the Democratic Phila-
delphia Record has to say touching and
appertaining to another distinguished
apostle of national defense:
IF COL Roosevelt, himself were
President at this time, he could
not translate his infammatory
counsel into action. He could not
send the regular army into Mexico
cat once,'' nor could he send it
at all, without authority from the
war-making power. The invasion
of Mexico would be belligerent
action, and Congress alone has the
power to declare war. Until Con-
gress assumes this responsibility
the President of the United
States can exercise authority
only in accordance with the
Constitution
Here we have an organ of his own
party taking the ground right out
from under Mr.. Wilson. If Col.
Roosevelt, as President, couldn It
make war without Congress, even
though he wanted to, how could Mr..
Wilson have departed from the paths
of peace on his own initiative, how
ever undiplomatic his exchanges of
views with European belligerents may
have been9 Ism t it altogether likely
that the Senate, which must be party
to all treaties, would have had some
thing to say, assuming that the Presi-
dent had taken a provocative attitude ?
The Record may not have meant to
do so, seeing that it despises Col.
Roosevelt, but it has punctured the
one boast upon which Democrats base
Mr.. Wilson's hopes Of reelection.
Furthermore it is gratuitous to under-
take to say what any other man would
do were he in the White House con-
fronted by the conditions Mr.. Wilson
has had to deal with, and particularly
to take it for granted that, if Mr.. Will
son were to be retired, we necessarily
would be in danger Of war.-Pittsburg
Gazette Times.

to the house and later Dr. George E.
Thompson was summoned. At the
same time the pulmotor was called
from the fire department and for more
than half an hour efforts were made
to resuscltate the woman DR.. Andre
declared that she had been dead for
more than an hour when he was called
to the house. An examination reveal
ed the fact that she had a slight wound
on her wrist where the blood from an
open wound had been staunched by
the use of a handkerchief tied close
II about the wrist.
Coroner III. c. Millager was called
to make an investigation, but no one
was found who could give any infor-
nation as to just how Mrs. Barnhill
had met her death.
Mrs. Barnhill had not been in the
best of health for some time, but at
noon when her husband left for his
work she did not appear to be in any
way nervous. She appeared cheerful
and jolly and she had talked with her
husband over plans for the afternoon.
She had planned to make a trip down
town and to visit with some friends.
The husband did not know of the
tragedy until he returned from work
ar hour after the body of his
wife had been found.
Mrs. Barnhill had a wide circle of
friends in the city and the announce
ment OF her tragic death has caused
profound sensation. She was a native
OF Grown Point, Indiana, where she was
born in October Of 1872. She came to
Kenosha eighteen years ago following
her marriage to Mr.. Barnhill and since
then had been resident of Kenosha
She was a woman of charming DISPOSE
ton and since she had lived in the city
she had won a large circle of friends
to whom the announcement of her
death comes as a personal sorrow.
Mr.. Barnhill is the sole surviving
member of the family.
The remains will be taken to the
old home at Crown Point, Ind, for in
terment and the day and hour of the
funeral will be announced Wednesday,
Funeral services will be held at the
family residence at three o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon and the remains
will be taken to Crown Point, Ind,
for interment on Thursday.

few of the gifts, many handsome and
valuable that continued to come through
the day.
Although golden gifts and many 9TH
er kinds, including cakes, none was so
plentifully sent as flowers. Literally
hundreds and hundreds of blossoms,
many of them yellow because of the
golden - date, were received and filed
the house standing on tables, on shelves,
along the stairway and on che floor, and
Mrs. Stalker enjoyed each separate
blossom of every bouquet with that
happy zest which has kept her young
in spite of her years.
Many friends called during the day
and evening to pay their respects and
bring their offerings of affection.
In recalling the incidents of their
wedding day, DR.. and Mrs. Stalker,
both of whom were students in Lawr-
ence University, Appleton, told how
when they finished their school course
they were married here in Wisconsin,
anu Lol 1hCAA WOuOAlS 1I1P maui ChO
journey that took them to DR.. Stalker IS
home in Iowa.. It took much time to
make what would now be short trip,
and one of the exciting incidents of it
was their crossing the Mississippi river.
There were no bridges across and they
went by mule-hauled sleds to the edge
of the ice and when in the center where
the current was so strong it would not
allow the ice to form, they were rowod
across in boats and met by conveyan-
ces again that took them the rest of
the way across the river and to the
railway.
Dr. AMI Mrs. Stalker still recall with
pleasure the succeeding week spent with
his parents and his brother and his
bride of only a week before in the Iowa
home.
Mrs. Stalker comes of New England
parentage and was born in Vermont.
She has four ancestors vino fought in
the Revolutionary war and two who

Their Friends
Wednesday.
NO INVITATIONS ISSUED
Two Hundreds of Calls Received by
the Bride and Groom of Half
Century Were Informal and
Most Enjoyable.

DR.. and Mrs. Fl. J. Stalker, 463 Ex-
change street, have proven false the
old superstition that stormy wedding
day makes stormy welded life.
In 1866, on March /, stormy, sleety
day, DR.. and Mrs. Stalker were married.
Yesterday, on their fftieth wedding an
niversary, with friends and relatives
about them, they looked back over a
half century Of bright, happy years and
denied that the trifing fact of stormy
or sunny wedding day has anything to
do with the many days that follow.
No formal arrangements for observ-
ance of the day had been made, but
early in the morning evidences that it
was remembered by friends began pour
ing in. By noon Mrs. Stalker was fairly
showed under the hundreds Of notes
and letters received from almost every
state in the union, some from friends
she and her husband had not seen for
many years, one from a dear girlhood
friend that she saw last at the time of
her wedding which that friend attend
ed.
Every letter contained good wishes
and evidence of affection. The first one
to arrive was written in Spanish with
an English translation conveniently APP
pended and came from an old Spanish
friend in California, accompanied with
orange blossoms and violets from her
own garden. 1t was addressed to
TSenor Medico Sonora Stalker.

a gift she had sent. These were but a

PITIES PETLESs CHILD.
J. H. Karnes Expresses Sympathy For
Youngster Who Misses Humanizing
influence of Dumb Pets.

Influence of Dumb Pets.
CT pity the child that is not allowed
to have pets, +" said J. H. Karnes, SUI
perintendent of the Kenosha Humane
society today. "The child deprived of
pet misses much. To love dumb
animal is humanizing influence on the
character. To care for pet teaches
the child to be responsible for some
thing. The love of pet brings out
the tender feelings of the child s heart
and makes him less inclined to cruelty,
more thoughtful, of quicker sympathy.
A pet makes his home more enjoy
able. 1t is one means of keeping him
from undesirable companions. While
teaching a dog to perform a trick the
child enlarges his own patience and in
telligence. When he learns to ride
horse he gains in courage and in self
reliance. In learning about one animal
the child learns about many and the
love of his pet fills his mind with useful
and good thoughts, leaving less room
for the idle or vicious.
Every child should be given the
happiness of having a pet if it is pos
sible to do 500

Residents of Bldg-Weu Known.

Mrs. Gertrude Barnhill, aged forty
four years, wife of James G. Barnhill,
well known employee Of the Simmons
company, was found dead in a gas
filed room at the apartments occupied
by the family at 621 Bond street, just
after five O'Clock Monday afternoon.
She had been overcome by fuel gas
which was flowing freely from jets
in the gas stove in the room. The
details surrounding the tragedy which
brought her death will probably al
ways remain a mystery as Mrs. Barn
hill was alone in the apartment at the
time. She had been dead for more
than an hour when her body was dis
covered on the floor of the apartment
by an inspector from the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company who had
gone to the house to locate a leak in
the gas mains which had filed other
portions of the house occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnhill with gas.
When the Inspector reached the
house in response to a telephone mes
sage from people occupying the other
apartment he found all doors leading
