Founder Of Observatory.

graduated from Harvard university

Lowell was best known as the princi-

is inhabited. It was from the Observa
tory at Flagstaff that he announced his
discovery of vegetation on Mars, with
the inference that the planet was in
habited.

WE ARE GLAD

That President Wilson is re elected.
He deserved a re- election. It shows
that republics are not ungrateful; and
it settles the undemocratic third term
proposition.
That the nation stands by the Presi
dent, against kings, potentates, and all
foreign Intermediates.
That democratic Democrats have
their JOY fulfilled; and that the Presi
dents patriotic Republican and indie
pendent supporters have not been dis
appointed of their hopes.
That we had as our candidate for
United States senate William F. Wolfe.
He didn't get the senatorship, and all
there in it. but, more than that, he is
a man, my son. The fight made in
Wisconsin by Husting, Wolfe, and
others, for the national administration
was magnificent.
That Burt Williams proved his case,
Tor President Wilson, re- election; and
tor ms own candidacy TOR governor.
Foreign influence alone kept Wisconsin
out Of the Wilson column, and saved
Governor Phillip from defeat.
That we have in Wisconsin The Mil
waukee Journal and The Wisconsin
State Journal They were open minded
at the proper time; but adj through the
campaign they were right minded
strong minded and able supporters of
the Wilson administration.

A GREAT BLESSING

The election of Wilson and Marshall
brings to the American people an in
estimable blessing, and will renew and
confirm their faith in themselves and in
their capacity for self government
Now they will know in very truth
that an intelligent, active interest in
the public affairs, on the part Of all
the people, will bring good results
Faith in the common man, and in his
capacity, is true democracy. Based upon
this faith, there was worked out on our
great western frontier, the correct idea
of one man, one vote. This was for
years the soul and strength Of this
great republic But there grew up in
Washington, and in many of the state
capitals, invisible governments, which
became more powerful than the will of
the people. To a great extent they
took over the functions of government,
and ruled by the entrenched power of
special privilege AS a result, the
people, in large measure, lost interest,
and lost heart, in that which should
hn no nGt Of
namely, the political life of the state
and nation. Political editorials dis
appeared from newspapers; or, if they
were published at all, they were Of a
perfunctory nature, and lacked the real
life and fire of earnest political dis
cussion. Political meetings were ad-
vertised in vain; and men Of note were
often compelled to speak to empty
benches, if they spoke at all.
But President Wilson has destroyed
invisible government at Washington
and emancipated the American people
from the lobby and from the rule of
privilege working through political
corruption" Moreover, he has talked
face to face with the members Of con
gress, and has takenSthe people into his
condolences and under his responsible
leadership Democrats and Republicans
have enacted the will of the people into
wise and wholesome laws. AS a law
giver his record is unexampled. His
reelection is an inspiration to good
citizenship. It gives hope and courage
to that grand army Of patriots Demo
Gratis, Republicans, and Independents
who are trying to work out better
democracy, and who desire above all
things that the people take an interest
in public affairs and run their own
government.

the appeals of the tariff barons through

ALLEGED SPY ACCUSED BY
AMBASSADOR BERNSTORFF
Letters Addressed to Wife of German
Envoy to U. S. Cause Trouble
for Armgaard Graves.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Armgaard
Karl Graves, a professed former Ger
man and British spy, was arrested at
the home of Prince Won Hatzfeldt-
Trachenberg in this city, charged with
attempting to blackmail Countess Won
Bernstorff, wife Of the German ambaS-
sadOr.
A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bu-
reau of investigation, stated that
Graves had attempted to obtain $4,000
from Prince from Hatzfeldt, counselor
of the German embassy, for the sur
render of stolen letters addressed to
Countess Won BernstOrff.
The letters, Mr.. Bielaski asserted,
were from q cousin of the countess in
Germany, and the fact that they con-
tanned endearing terms probably
moved Graves to believe they would
embarrass her if made public.
Mr.. Bielaski asserted that Graves OBJ
tanned the letters from one or more
persons who had smuggled them past
the British censor.
Graves was taken from the police
authorities and delivered to the de-
partment of justice.
Graves was held for preliminary
hearing next week, his bail being fixed
at $4,000 which was furnished by q
professional bondsman.
Doctor Graves denied emphatically
thot there is anv basis for a charge of
blackmail.
