younger as an equal and always gave
polite attention to all he said. Those
boys grew to manhood and have ever
kept and cherished the friendship of
their childhood days. Both have
struggled along the rugged paths of

WHY WILSON SHOULD WIN.
(By John :narp '"'illians.)


Because of peace, prosperity, progress ana
preparedness resulting from tbs Administration
Because Of the mass Of constructive, humanl-
tartan and progressive legislation which has been
Dts upon the statute books during Wilson's ad-
vrrinistrat!9n and under his leadership.
He brayely met an emergency by establishing
federal marine insurance against war risks.
He had the courage to insist until its fnal
passage Of government ship purchase bill.
The notes of Wilson had more effect upon the
Kaiser than the shrapnel Of others.
There are fights which bring neither honor
nor profit. A war with Mexico would have been
just such a fight.
He indorsed and helped to put upon the law
books the agricultural extension bill on whose
passage no Republican dared demand a roll call.
He secured the election of senators by the
people.
He established a child's bureau.
He legislated in behalf Of safety in mines.
He gave the powerful example, encouragement
and financial assistance of the federal government
to the construction Of good roads-as important
as Enthusiastically starting a movement which
will ultimate in a roads condition like that seen
in France, Germany or England.
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1916-10-07
THE WAR IN THE AIR.

Recent events in the war zone prove that
fighting in the air is going on to an extent hardly
appreciated by onlookers over here. On one day
recently the Allies claimed to have destroyed %
Teutonic machines, while the Central Powers on
the same day claimed "a victims. Besides that an
Amsterdam dispatch says a British air raid on a
Belgium town caused the death of forty persons,
while three Zeppelin raids on Great Britain within
a week caused the death of move than one hum
bred. Another Zeppelin raid upon Bucharest, the
Roumanian capital, is credited with thirty fatal
tiles. AS usual, both sides emphasize the chill
dren and women slain in their cities, but deny any
military damage. London's aerial defense proved
very good, bringing down one Zeppelin in the first
raid and two in the one the following night. The
third raid upon England did not approach the cap
ital and all the raiders escaped. Whether these
tactics are worth anything or not they continue,
and the question Of their military value will not be
known until after the war.
