that all his own ideas were wrong four
years ago. He has changed his mind
on every public question. On some
of them he has changed twice OF even
three times. Even If his friends could

exactly right, what assurance could be

GUARDSMEN PAY THE PRICE
OF WILSON'S AMUSEMENT.

Having condoned the repeated
murders of Americans by the
Carranzlstas, and having abased
himself before Carranza, and
having aided in placing Carran-
"a in power, what is Mr.. VIII
sons reward7 and who pays it?
The reward is that Mr.. Wilson
has to place 10000 troops on
the border to partially prevent
the raids and murders that his
friend Mr.. Carranza will not or
cannot prevent; and the pay
ment is made by the soldiers
who are slain and by the fam
lilies of the guardsmen who go
in want because their husbands
and fathers have been called to
the border to make good Mr..
Wilson's refusal to let the regu-
lar army administer such punish
ment to the bandits as to inspire
in them a healthy fear.-From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, in behalf Of Charles
G. Hughes.

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND.

The plan adopted by Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every n who favors the
election of Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support of a Republican
Senate and House to contribute $40
and become a sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate Of membership.
That the money will prove a good In
vestment Is patent. 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country a more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which Is necessary If the prosperity
and influence of the nation Is to con-
tinue.
There are at least 100000 Repub-
licans, but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
sciousness that they have voted or
win vote the Republican ticket7 The
work is done by a few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers a cure for that con-
dition. Help the cause and get a GER
tidcate of membership that will estab-
lish your party utilization. 1t Is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
leans will give $40 each, but If a
goodly number who can afford it do
so there will be a great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country in fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perma-
nent prosperity.
Mr.. Hughes is seeing how big the
West is, and the West is seeing how
big Mr.. Hughes is. 1t is a happy ar
rangement.
Friends of Wilson are still trying
to explain what he meant by too
proud to fight" But can they tell us
what he meant by "strict accountable
ity?"
Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen
ry Watterson, "haye ever proved dis
appointing candidates" He is right.
Alton B. Parker was a big disappoint-
ment to the Democrats. And so is
Charles Evans Hughes.-Toledo Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive to the ~expediency
of accepting several invitations to
make speeches in the West. Nobody
knows n better than he that it will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug In that
locality by Justice Hughes.
It was John 2. st. John of Kansas,
one time Prohibitionist candidate for
president of the United States, who
said that Americans vote as they
cheer. If so, there is mighty little
consolation for the Democratic party
In this campaign, for the Democratic
Administration In three years has CIV
en- us nothing to cheer over. On the
contrary, as Mr.. Hughes has said,
these last three years have been years
of humiliation and embarrassment.
Mr.. Wilson says his mind is pro-
gressive, but those who try to follow
its progress car never tell the direc-
ton 1t Is taking. 1t is just as likely
to be progressing backward as for
ward.
At Princeton Mr.. Wilson used to

Is VILLA DEAD2
TIME country at this writing, is
asking itself the most interesting

TIME country, at this writing, is
asking itself the most interesting
and important question that has
come to public notice this year-Is
Villa Dead?
Two months ago the death of Villa
would have been an interesting item,
but not very important. He was a
defeated revolutionist, his life in con-
slant jeopardy and his followers
scattered. But since his Columbus
raid and the pursuit of him into
Mexico by United States troops he has
become a national issue. With him
dead the United States may withdraw
from Mexico without further ado. If
he is alive nobody can forecast the
possibilities. War with Mexico and
possibly with Germany may follow,
for beyond question the imperial gov
ernment would be more likely to con-
tinue its "U-boat" campaign against
neutrals if it knew we were fully oc-
.cupied with the troublesome country
to the South.
With Villa out of the way it is not
difficult to believe that for a year or
TWO. at least, Carranza and those he
stands for may be able to preserve a
semblance of order in Mexico. Nobody
can foresee just what is ahead in Mex
tice. but the elimination of Villa would

NTOw that the Civic Club of Harris
IN burg is in possession or near
possession of its handsome Q
headquarters adjoining the city pump
ing station on North Front street the
activities of the membership will
doubtless be largely increased. At the
annual meeting this afternoon the
work of the organization during the
year was thoroughly and interestingly
discussed by the president, Mrs Will
liam Henderson. the heads of the sew
eral committees and the membership
generally.
Harrisburg as whole has general
knowledge of the activities of this fine
association of women, but it is a
question how many really appreciate
the splendid work that has been done
during a considerable period of years.
Much of the activity of the club has
been along lines which do not appeal
to the people in the mass. 1t has been
educational in its character and that
sort of work frequently involves many
discouragements and the exercise OF
great patience and endurance.
Fortunately for Harrisburg, how
ever, these ladies are not of the sort
who surrender in the face of difficult
ties They have continued their work
often under conditions that would
have put down and out the average
man. Trials have beset the commit
tees, sneeTs have followed comprehen-
sive and beneficial programs of civic
betterment, obstacles have been placed
in the way OF plans which were ideal
for the welfare of thousands of our
men, women and children, but not
withstanding all these things the good
ladies have gone right ahead bowling
reaching the goal of their constructive
and unselfsh work.
When the club shall have taken
possession of it's handsome quarters
the membership should be increased
to include every woman in this city,
young and old, who has an atom of
civic pride. There is inspiration in
numbers and under experienced lead
ership no limitation to the good that
the Civic Club can and will accom-
plish.
1t is gratifying to know that the
organization is cooperating in the
Telegraph's movement for the general
installation of window and porch boxes
this year, but what else was to have
been expected of such an organization?
1t is always helping every good move
ment, and here's more power to it as
the days go by.

DIXIE GOES AHEAD
Shipyards and Corrals
By Frederic ]. Haskin

Horses and mules are not the only
exports of course. Here is where the
best steaming coal in the whole world
finds its way to the sea, and the ships
that come to seek coal go away laden
with whatever of the products of the
plowing the seven seas, of course, but
in the world of ships there is still al
legiance to Old King Coal. And in
these waters he holds court.
Norfolk brings to mind three de-
lights-Lynnhaven oysters, Smithield
hams and peanuts. Not a little of the
prosperity of this prosperous city is
based upon the nationwide demand
of the baseball fan for the humble
"goober" and in the town of Suffolk,
just a few miles away, there is the
richest bank in the United States
whose every cent came from peanuts.
Norfolk also has a navy yard. That
is to say, the navy yard is named for
Suffolk, but actually it is in Ports
mouth, another thriving city separ-
ated from Norfolk only by ferry boat
and slightly different city charter.
Portsmouth is not in Norfolk county,
a mystery sealed to the ken of all but
tidewater Virginians.
The Norfolk Navy Yard is a busy
place, too. Here are always to be
found some of the biggest and best of
up for the sea. The huge dry dock
is we'll worth visit by itself.
And here at the Navy Yard are two
ships with histories-the Eitel Fried
rich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm. Both
of them sought haven here months
after the world thought that German
ships had been driven from the seas.
The Eitel Friedrich in more pleasant
times was the most palatial vessel of
the Oriental fleet of the Norddeutcher
Lloyd and made her way from Bre-
men to Hong Kong with cargoes of
ound-the-world tourists, silk buyers
and tea tasters. Her wild run for the
Marshall Islands and her escape into
the Atlantic, though making a thrilling
tale, has left her unscarred and as
trim as ever, except for mounted guns
whose breech-locks are now in tthe
possession of the United States. Not
so the great Hamburg -Amerika liner
that lies alongside. She is so bat
tered and torn that how she ever came
out alive and found this snug harbor
is miracle, if one may judge from
her looks. Here they lie, and here
they must lie until the war is over,
while their officers keep their impris-
oned crews busy with scraping chisels
and paint pots. They were centers
of social gayety at first, but after
half a dozen officers borrowed" a
yacht from a Norfolk man one fine
night and decamped, the lid was put
on. The interned Germans are now
literally interned.

Faint-Heartedness

From Golfers s Weekly.
Anything the Democrats do in the
way of preparedness is going to be
done in doubtful faith. At best, it
will be half-hearted. The Democrats
are for just so much preparedness as
will placate the rising demand for it,
and not put them too much on the
defensive in the coming campaign
This is not true of every individual
among the Democrats, but it is true
of the great bulk of them in the House
and Senate. The ablest man in the
Democratic party-it is not President
Wilson believes in thoroughgoing
preparedness, believes even in univer-
sal military training. But he isn't
saying so publicly, because he knows
that so far as his party is concerned
he would be voice crying in the will
derness. Abong the Democrats in
the House and Senate there is prac-
tically no one with whole-hearted de-
votion to preparedness. Their in
stincts are against It, They are tied
to party tradition which is suspicious
of it. Senator Vardaman of MISSISSIPPI
pi showed 1t in the debate on the sub
iect. He quoted Madisons warning
that "the greatest danger to liberty
is from large standing armies" Sena-
tor Vardaman put his own convictions
in these words:
THE measure which we are consid-
ering to-day marks change
in the life of this Republic-probably
the beginning of a system which will
lead US to military despotism. .
1t involves a departure from the policy
of the Democratic party, and the pol
icy of the Nation which has existed for
more than one hundred years. 1t is at
variance with the teachings of the
Republic and the men who have made
this country strong and great"

Man, the Road Maker
kansas City Star.l

A man driving in the country came
to a stone which had rolled into the
road. He could have gone around the
stone, but, instead, of doing that, he
stopped and got out and rolled the
stone away; not for his own sake,
for he never expected to pass along
that road again, but for the sake of
others who would come after him.
THAT man." says the Farm and
Fireside, which told the story, "re-
sponded to high, very high test of
civilization. He felt socially" Saw
ages do not make roads; their paths
follow the lines of least resistance and
go around distractions. Civilized man
is road maker, and the progressive
ness of a community may be gauged
by its roads. The higher the state of
civilization the better the roads.
A man may be Judged, too, by his
attitude toward roads.

NORFOLK, VA.-Nobody but a
N tidewater Virginian ever will be
- able to get the exact hang of the
geography hereabouts-what piece of
water is Hampton Roads pure and
simple, and what is James River, and
what is Horseshoe, and'what is Chesa-
peake Bay-that is all quite beyond
the landsman. He does not know in
general sort of way that here is
Norfolk and Portsmouth and Newport
News and Old Point Comfort and
that the wide water is Hampton
Roads. That is enough, and it is not
altogether new. What is new is that
the war has quickened the pulse of
the industrial life if the region.
Take Newport News. The ship
yards have been here a generation,
but they never knew before what it
was to be busy. Some eight thousand
men are at work, the ways are filed
with huge hulks in the making, the
dry docks are never empty and in the
river lie always other vessels waiting
their turn to be scraped, painted and
cleaned for their chance at more of
the juicy ocean freight rates. And
then, to make the picture complete,
there rides the Appam-a ship with
out a country but with a story that
will last as long as sailor men can
fight and spin yarn.
Ships are an old story to Newport
News, but horses and mules by the
old West may have known the like,
but certainly the East never before
saw a large percentage of the horse
and mule population of the United
States pass a given point. Some
thing like six hundred thousand Am
erican horses and mules have been
shipped to the battle-fields of Europe
and fully a third of them have passed
through the corrals at Newport News.
Gathered by the railroads throughout
the country they are shipped here and
penned in huge corrals, one for horses
and one for mules, awaiting the COM
ing of the ship that is to take them
to their end of fire and blood 1t is
no unusual thing for the horse-mule
population of the town to run up to
four or five thousand-thereby rival
ing the shipyards.
The shipyards just now are calcu-
lated to cheer the patriotic heart, for
few such sights have been seen in
this country since the days when iron
vessels chased the wooden ships from
the seas and the Clyde bank of Scot
land deprived the seaports of Maine
of their pre-eminence in shipbuild-
ing. Battleships, freighters, tankers
the full capacity of the yard is in use
for the building of ships for the navy
and the American merchant marine
while plans are being made for ex-
tentions to take care of some of the
orders that already stretch we'll into
the next decade.

UNFAIRLY PARTISAN

n II a time when Republicans in
n both houses of Congress are try
ing to aid the President to main
tain the honor and dignity of the
nation in foreign affairs, it is I'M
fortunate that Senator Stone of
Missouri, should so frequently arouse
partisan irritation by injection of
ridicule, sarcasm and insulting
inuendo. An illustration of his course
was seen in the Senate recently after
Senator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois,
had introduced a resolution declaring
it to be treason for Americans to sell
arms to Villa. 1t must be admitted
that this was a severe thrust at the
Wilson administration, for it was this
administration that raised the en-
barge on arms in order that Villa
might be supplied in his war upon
Huerta. But, since the resolution
came from a Democrat, its conse-
quences cannot be charged against
Republicans.
Some comments were made upon
this by one Republican and two
Democratic Sen tors, whereupon
Senator Stone threw aside Senatorial
dignity and ordinary courtesy and ac-
cused Republicans of playing partisan
politics. After occupying the floor
most of the time for nearly an hour
he charged that there had been "a
well-defined purpose on the part of
some Senators to precipitate this
debate"
And right there Senator Stone got
what was coming to him, for Senator
Oliver, of Pennsylvania, a careful,
courteous and dignified member of the
Upper House. interrupted to inquire:
I will ask the Senator if he is not
the one who Is now precipitating
the debate, and If 1t is not all COM
ing from him?
Needless to say, every Senator
present appreciated the appropriate
ness Of the rebuke Senator Oliver had
administered. Senator Stone was also
impressed, for he made no objection
when he was shut off by call for the
regular order"
The incident was important for two
reasons-it shows the disposition of
Democratic Senators to dictate to their
Republican colleagues and it illustrates
the willingness of Democrats to pic
ture Republicans as lacking in
patriotism after they have tried in
every way to uphold the hands of a
vacillating and ever changing Demo-
cratic President.

The Searchlight
THE STRONGEST ANIMAL

The strongest of animals in propor-
ton to its body weight is not the bull
or the elephant, but the humble and
industrious ant. This fact is striking
ly demonstrated by the recent observa-
ton of Spanish entomologist. The
scientist saw an ant dragging a dead
grasshopper over a gravel walk. He
picked up both insects and weighed
them on a pair of delicate balances
He found that the body of the grass
hopper weighed more than sixty times
as much as that of the ant. If a
man were as strong in proportion to
his weight he could drag five tons
after him. If a medium sized horse
were proportionately strong he could
drag two freight car loads of mate
rial over rock and irregular ground
without the help of wheels.
