 First Criticism of Wilson
 I never uttered one word of crfti- cism of President Wilson until a wear and q half after he was elected president. If he had stood by the honor and the interest of the Ameri- can people. l would have thrown up my nat for him, and would have supported him heart and soul. l not merely kept silent during the first eighteen months or two years tried actively to support him. The only errors I have made in connec- tion with MT. Wilson were due to Intentionally accepting his statements and supporting his policies in the effort to stand by the president" It was with deep reluctance that the effort to stand by him was in compatible with standing by the in erts of mankind, and the honor of this nation But in my vie wthere was no alternative for any honorable man, when once 1 became convinced as l am convinced, that the con- science of this people has been scared, and it's moral sense dulled by the leadership of the administration and of congress during the last three years.

An odd incident occurred here
recently when the afternoon pas.
senger train came in. The Rev
Mr.. Reynolds, pastor of the Pres

ried a couple, one party being
from Richards and one from
Hume. Thinking to keep it quiet
they had secured their license in
Harrisonville but when they
went to get married they found
by the license they could not be
married in a different county
from the one where they had pro-
cured the license, so the young
couple with the minister boarded
the train and when the train
pulled into Drcxel the minister
performed the ceremony. Rev.
Reynolds returned to his home
and the happy young couple
went on to Kansas City. Both
trains being in at the same time

the newlyweds.-Drexel Star.

armed to drive the Caranza forces
out of Chihuahua and keep them
out long enough to secure an

Where did Villa get the arms
and the money which he must |
have secured in order to resume

for sale as the result of his last |
raid, where is his market?
