doomed. and now the party that be lieves in the people and tries to do things for the people has been in power for four years. And what has happened? It has redeemed some Of the promises falsely made by the al- lies of special interests and it has done something more interesting than that. You remember that four years ago, there was a great body of spirit ed Republicans who said:
 "'This thing is becoming a fraud and a sham. We have been taking care of some people but we have not of the people. We have not thought about their moral situation, and have not thought about their health, we have not thought about their rights as human beings. and we insist that you put the policy of this party in our hands or We will go off and form a party of our own
 They are engaged in the interesting enterprise of trying to capture a party which is fotrified against them and refusing to enter a party which is al ready captured by those who believe in their principles. The intellectual processes by which they arrive at their conclusions are entirely obscured to my intelligence.
 Look over the ranks of the support CTS of the Republican party. Did you ever see a more motley company in your life? Did you ever seen elements so absolutely contradictory of each other as the elements of that party?
 Back of that party are those who want to inject into our politics, the politics of Europe. Some want to in ject those policies in order to move in one direction, and others want to inject them in order to move in an exactly the opposite direction. Under these circumstances it is not wise to announce your direction.
 "One thing has become evident, not because it was explicitly stated for nothing has been eXplicitely stated but because it is unmistakably pre- scented that we must draw the conclu sion that if the Republican party is put into power at the next election our foreign policy will be radically changed? I cannot get any other in ference. 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 arc they going to change it?
 There is onl yone choice as against peace, and that is war. Some of tho supporters of that party, very grea body of the supporters of that party outspokenly declare that they wan war, so that the certain prospect O success of the Republican party i' that we shall be drawn in one form ol ! other into the embroilments of tho

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, H., recently wrote e Dr. Caldwell. at MOEr ticello, Ill, that she has used pr. Cald wells Syrup Pepsin IT her home for a number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in per feet health.
 Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin IS a continuation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important tune tion. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend able laxative, such as Dr. Caldwells s Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste and children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults.

 'I do not know where from Repub- i lican quarters, you have got any sug- i gestions as to what is going to hap pen in the years to come. This is a most singular campaign. I will not say an unprecedented campaign, be- cause I happen to remember that Oth- ! ed by saying nothing whatever; and 1 I also remember with interest that i they never succeeded, because the peo pie of the United States are an inQui- sitive people and if you ask them to entrust you with the great power of their government they really want to know what you are going to do with i that government if they entTust you with it.

 "The Democratic party has made some fatal mistakes of action, but the reason it has lived, the reason it is the only party that has approached immortality in our politics, is that it is the only party that has consistently based it's belIefs upon the things that underlie all American history-the be lief in the government of the people by themselves and their own repre- sentatives.
 Tt has witnessed the life and death of two great parties, and unless I am very much mistaken it will witness the early disappearance of another. It witnessed the life and disappear ance of the Federalist party. It wit messed the life, the increase, the de moralization, the decline, and the dis appearance of the Whig party.
 And then there appeared upon the scene the Republican party, first of all organized for much different pur- pose, to prevent the spread of the in- stitution of slavery into the free DOT tions of the United States.

 Apparently without funds, although possessed of an extensive wardrobe, he took the tailor's marks from all his clothing and destroyed the fly leaves of several text books on electricity and drafting

It has begun a great process of liberalization for the busi- ness of the country and it intends to strengthen that system at every point, extend wherever it needs extension, strengthen and fortify 1t against all attacks and once for all make good the domination of the American peo- pie in their own affairs. On that pro CTS. We have shown our hand. It cannot be doubted. All you have got to do if you want to know the lines of the future policy of the Democratic party is to extend the lines of the past policy of the Democratic party and you have an absolute standard. You know which way we are going. The question is, do you want to head us off and it is for the young of the country, in particular, to say. He looks abroad upon wide world. He looks curiously upon many of the as poets of human affairs, because he hopes and intends to play part Of importance in some of them, and so the young men have the impulse, the momentum, the whole vision of the people more intensely in them than the older men who have grown lit- tie tired, some of them grown a little pessimistic, some of them grown lit tie discouraged, some of them have had many hard knocks and suffered many disappointments, but who nev- ertheless with stubborn courage and steadfast strength are themselves struggling toward the light.
 And they are calling to the young men: Come, recruit our ranks. Some of us are falling by the wayside. We need your force. We need your hope. We need your confidence. We need your capacity to get together and stay together and follow the lead. Come, strengthen the great army of men who have their eyes lifted to those horizons where shines the light of hope for men of every nation and of every generation, where rests the re- assurance of the worlds peace and of the worlds happiness.
 LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 30.- President Wilson's address to the Young Mems Democratic Clubs at Shadow Lawn today was in part as follows:
 q am very much obliged to you for giving me an opportunity to say some very plain things about the present campaign and about the future policy of this country, because young men are very much more interested in the future than they are in the present. While some of us who are older look back upon experience and are able to take certain measurements which may not have occurred to you, nevertheless your feeling is that the world lies in front of you and not behind you.

WILSON'S new BOOK
Motivation of School Work. to Be
Issued Soon.

Motivation of School Work. is the
title of a new book soon to be publish
ed by H. B. Wilson, superintendent or
city schools, and his brother, Guy VIII
son, of Iowa State college. The book
is devoted principally to the problem
of gaining the interest of the child in
his school work. The preface states;
1.-The biggest educational problem to
the teacher is not acquiring necessary
information or the controlling of her
classes but it is the planning and con-
Quoting work so that it appeals to and
interests the pupils. The purpose of
the book is to furnish concrete help
to the teacher for this fundamental
problem"
The book is to be on sale in April
and is published by the Houghton,
Mifflin Company. The book is the
product of eight years of preparation
on the part of himself and his brother,
according to Mr.. Wilson.

Mr. Wilson into the belief that he can
have the resolutions warning Ameri-
cans against travelling on armed bel
ligerent ships beaten by an over
whelming Democratic vote.
Strong for Resolution.
Nothing of the sort is possible. A
week ago Speaker Clark said that such
resolutions would be adopted by a
vote of to 1. 1t is the feeling of
many today that in view of the presi-
dents appeal for the united action for
its moral effect on foreign govern
ments. no such overwhelming opposi-
ton to the administration policy would
be manifested. But few believe that
the vote would show, as Mr.. Wilson
demands, that the report that there
are divided counsels in congress in
regard to the foreign policy of the
country is false
Indeed, many hold that the position
of the administration, if upheld at all,
must be supported by Republican
votes.
1t is the universal opinion that in
viting this test the president has risk
ed disaster to himself and assured it
to many of the representatives.
Since the controversy opened last
week members have been deluged
with kilograms of two kinds, one adj
juring them to stand by the president,
the other beseeching them in the
name of peace to utter the warning
that would, by keeping Americans off
armed belligerent merchantmen, les
sen the danger of war. Inquiry among
several scores of congressman ELECTS
the fact that the latter type of tele-
gram outnumbers the former by about
five to one-indicating that the coun-

ton "at once" Senator Stone said to-
day, following a conference with the

A WILSON invite
n. Y. State Democrat COnven-
ton Issues 1t Today.
"KeynOte" and Platform Urge
Presidents Reelection.

Syracuse, March Party leaders
planned today's informal Democratic
state convention to be considered an
invitation to the country at large to
support President Wilson for re-elec-
ton.
With that end in view, both key
note speech and platform Endorsed the
president and his administrative poll
cies and called for the selection of four
delegates at-large to the Democratic
national convention at St. Louis to be
chosen with the understanding that
they will do their utmost to bring
about his denomination.
Delegates-at-large en- a tiv e y
agreed to are: James A O'Gorman,
Z. S. senator; William Church Os-
born, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, George J. Meyer of
Buffalo, a German-American Wilson
supporter and Samuel Untermyer, a
New York attorney.
The tentative draft of the platform,
which dealt solely with national is
sues, besides heartily indorsing the
Wilson administration, declared for
peace with honor" and advocated
preparedness.
