sts Woodrow Wilson excels in the a..
stistry OF politics beyond the capacity
OF Charles Evans Hughes to comp.ts
We're the current campaign game Of
professional politics instead of con.
test OF character between two candi-
dates for the highest Office in The gift
/ OF the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made study 81
form--frst of literary form-and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered style peculiarly
MS own, and peculiarly .charac teristic..
AIhe study of words and their multi
plfcity of meaning always fascinates
him, SO much that Princeton class
mate recently said of him: 'sTommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
MS collection of what Theodore Roose-
velt's Maine Guide calls weasel
words" That is-"he can take Ia
word and weasel it around aid suck
the meaning out of it like aA'weasel
sucks an egg, until it don't mean any
thing at all, no matter what al
sounds like it MEANS. Thence came
also the series Of catch phrases, so
fascinating in sound, so falseSin sug-
gestion so easy to read, so hard to I'm
derstand. So it is that he is6able to
be on all sides of every public ques-
tion, while covering his circuitous
course with flow of words that roll
AS easily from his pen as a brook
through the meadow. 1t is his artful-
ness in the use Of words that enables
him to pose as IAN amateur lin poll
tics," while playing the game with the
skill of a professional. Whatever his
ineptitude in other respects, he is cas-
lily first among presidents in the art
istry of politics, and he, would win
next November, were that the test. Y
Compare the Witness of Mr. Wilson
with the straightforwardness .Fof Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smoothsstyle8of
the one with the rugged ydiction of the
other. The one is as complex. in the
use of words as the other is simple.
IT is. case of sonorousness versus
strength. Mr.. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy of straightforward
ness and the strength of sincerity {;
upon the force Of facts, instead of up
on the fiction of asphrase, to win his
case before: the jury of the nation.
His appeal is to the headzandanot the
ear of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
terical side. 1t is ain appeal to the
courage Of the country and not to it's
cowardice. Mr.. Hughes could not, if
he would, perform in year the po-
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
in day. The question today lis
whether: the people want in the White
House for the next four years 8
phrase-maker or history-maker 81. "a
man Of many sayings, or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There
is fundamental difference. between
the two candidates, which marks the
line Of cleavage in this extraordinary

early Friday morning.
Sir Hiram Stevens-A{ axim, American
born, was one Of tt most famous in

cal engineers of Great Britain. He
was most widely known as the In
ventor of the Maxim machine gun,
which makes the recoil of the weapon
serve as the power for reloading. and
which Is the weapon largely used IN
the European war today.
He was born in SangerVil1e, Me-,
February 5, 1910. the son Of Isaac
Weston and Harriet NJ. Maxim, and re-
ceiyed only common school education,
but he acquired scientific knowledge
by reading and attending lectures. He
went to England in 1881, and had re-
sided there ever since. He was knight
ed by Queen Victoria in 1901.
His son, Hiram Percy Maxim. is a
well known inventor in the United
States, known particularly as the in
yentor of the Maxim silencer.
For many years Sir Hiram was a d.
rector IN the firm OF Vickers Sons

1911. For more than thirty years he

vented flying machines. IN the light OF
the present war, with its numerous
German atrship raids on England, it is
remarkably interesting to recall that
eight years ago Sir Hiram took the

interest in aeronautics and pointed out
then, at a time when aerop1anes were
in their infancy, that England was In

Following the success OF the Wright
biplane, Sir Hiram renewed his long
continued interest in aviation and IN
1910 perfected a machine which he de-
clared had certain advantages over the
Wright's. It was he who, with others,
interested the British government In
beginning its organization OF an aerial
navy. and though he was then 20 years
old he lived to see the great war bring
air fighting to pass in even greater
measure, probably, than he himself had
dreamed
In addition to his gun and aeroplane,
he patented many electrical inventions,
including incandescent lamps, self
regulating current machines, several
pieces OF ordance. and smokeless
powder.
The aged inventor took keen inter.
est in the war, and from time to time
there were unconfrmed reports OF his
invention OF devices to meet the needs
Of the war, one OF them being an ap-
paratus to counterfeit the effects OF the
poisonous gases which the Germans
were first to bring into use. In 1915
he was appointed member OF the in
ventions board of the British munitions
department under Lloyd George
Sir Hiram applied himself so siren
uously to science throughout his long
life that even his recreations were
given By him as reading scientific
books and studying the abstract

DAY NURSERY
IS IND0RSED
BY Mr.. WHITE
Who Gives Several CogentRe
sons in an Article Contrib
uted to the Telegram.

J. F.. White, superintendent OF the
First Baptist Sunday school, writes
as follows about the day nursery
here:
will give few reasons why we,
as citizens. should encourage the OBJ
entng Of day nursery. First, because
we, as citizens, must take care Of our
poor, who are left destitute.
Second, because we should not only
look after their present needs. but
do 1t in manner to help them also
In the future.
Third, In way that will make the
dollar do the greatest amount of
good.
Fourth. We as Christians are
taught, thatit Is our duty to look at
ter the widows and orphans, thereby
reducing the cost of caring for them
selves.
What is the work OF a day nursery7
It is this: Should widow be left
with small children, she may be
strong enough to go out and work
to support them Il she has some place
she knows they are safe and taken
care Of.
So the day nursery will keep these
children for q very small fee and see
that they have proper food and care.
Clarksburg must make some adj
vancements along these lines or fall
behind other great cities, which are
doing a similar work.
When an appeal is made let US
give literally. Read Psalms 1875;
also read James 1927.
