"Anything to Beat Wilson"

The Wall street grievance against
President Wilson is like the pro-Ger-
man grievance, and there Is about as
much patriotism in one as there is In
the other.
Neither of these elements has been
able to use the President or control
his administration. Therefore both
are prepared to exert all their power
to defeat his reelection.
The pro-Germans would have been
satisfied with Mr.. Wilson II he had
warped international law sufficiently
to violate neutrality in the interests
of the kaiser. All they asked of him
was to disregard the established prac-
tices of the American government and
the future military safety of the coun-
try by consenting to an embargo on
arms to the enemies of Germany.
II he had done this, there would
have been no submarine zone; no IAu-
sitania, no Arabic and no internal con-
spiracy against the domestic peace
and welfare of the United States. Mr..
Wilson would now be the idol OF all
hyphenated Americans and this gov
ernment would be morally the ally OF
the German empire.
The president could have won the
appreciation of Wall street even more
easily than the appreciation Of the
pro- German voters. 1t WAS necessary
only to favor Wall street at the ex-
pense of the rest OF the country.
Like the pro- Germans the big busi-
ness interests can point to no instance
In which the administration has
sought tOpersecutet them or intimidate
them. They have had Justice, but JUS
tice is not what they want. They de-
mand privilege and privilege is what
they have been unable to get.
The great financial and Industrial
interests represented at the ANY
thing to-beat Wilson" dinner that
Gary gave to Col. Roosevelt are more
than prosperous. They were never be-
fore able to face the future with so
much confidence in the financial and
economic stability Of the United
States; but that is not enough. A wide-
ly distributed prosperity is not their
notion of prosperity. They want it all.
No matter how much money they
have they cannot get away from him.
| And SO they are clamorous for a re-
turn to Hannaism, In which Wall
street was the government Of the Un-
tied States and the lords Of money
were the legislators and the admin
istrative powers of the national gov
ernment.
That is something they will never
get while Woodrow Wilson remains
in the White house, which explains
their unyielding hostility.
A combination OF Wall streets and
German vote, Theodore Roosevelt
and the Republican machine may be
able to control the national election
of 1916, but we doubt it. Our own be-
lief is that there is still q great deal
of disinterested patriotism in the Un-
tied States and that the idealism of
the fathers has not yet been wholly
submerged in hyphens or in dollars.

ROBBING THE DENTISTS OF
PLATE GOLD

Jacksonville, Jan. Local detec-
tives are diligently continuing their
search for the thrief who has been
successful recently N robbing local
dentists of plate gold. The thief is
alleged by the police to have been
some one familiar with the dental
profession, and had carefully plan
ned the several robberies committed.
Among those who fell victims to
the robber were: DR.. Sydney Atkin-
son. 303 Masonic Temple; DR.. Car
roll Frink, 301 Masonic Temple; DR..
Alice P. Butler, st. James building,

dollars worth of sheet and plate
gold was stolen.

meat to stand by fifty per cent as
sessment for the county of Orange
for the new year. If each county
in the state signs up the fifty per
cent assessment will stand. But If
any hold back the full one hundred
per cent assessment will be made

TRYING TO RAISE A

Washington, D. c., Jan. Coin
cidert with the reconvening of Con-
gress after the holidays, strenuous
efforts are being made to galvanize
Champ CLARK presidential boom

A propaganda is actively at work
to bring about conditions which
would facilitate, If not necessitate,
the withdrawal of President Will
son from the running and the open
ing OF an opportunity for Speaker
Clark to lead his party in the COM
ing campaign.
The speaker is not believed to be
himself a party in any sense to the
activity that is going on, but the ex-
tent to which his jealous friends are
trying to help along the movement
is supplying more than a diversion
to the midwinter season--it is fur
nishihg a genuine surprise.

busy as bees scattering political rat
poison where it may be expected to
have the most effect in inducing the
President to see that his duty is
clear. Some of these stories are
told by word or mouth only. Wires
are being pulled and stage settings
are being arranged, all with a view
to helping the President to reach a
conclusion that he ought not to run
for q second term.
If the President permits the use
of his name, Speaker Clark will not
be candidate for the nomination
That much is certain, but the Clark
boomers are clinging tenaciously to
their breasts the hope that the
President will soon issue state
ment taking himself out of the run
ming. If that should happen the
Clark presidential candidacy would
be popped into the political arena
without any hesitation or introduc-
tory ceremony.

GERMANY TO SCRAP WITH
>. JAPAN AT END OF WAR

Peking, Jan. German officials
have promised China to deal effec-
lively with Japan at the conclusion
of the war if China will remain out
of the entente. These promises have
had much weight apparently with
high Chinese officials, many of whom
believe that Germany and her allies
will be successful in the present
struggle. The efforts of the German
officials and the German press to
prevent China's entrance into the
entente has been ably seconded by
the Japanese papers, which have
been quite as active as the Germans
in opposing the elevation of China
to membership in the entente.
Dr.. George E. Morrison, the po-
litical adviser to Yuan Shi-kai, and
Sir John Jordon, the British minis
ter, have been bitterly assailed by
the japanese press, which declares
that they have been trying to ad-
vance England's interest at the ey-
pense of Japan. The Yorozu, To-
kio daily, says that the entente pow
ers will not dare to "side-step" ia
pan, and gives warning: Japan
should watch carefully because there
are such men in China as DR.. Morri-
son and Sir John Jordon, who are
half Chinese and half Englishmen.
They are trying to secure the good
of England and China at the ex-
pensc of Japan. The Japanese nation
should keep a strict watch over
them"
The Hochi, of Toxic, Japanese
publication with some official stand
ing, offers bitter opposition to the
Japanese papers which make rapid
attacks upon the entente powers,
and urges that the press should be
negotiations concerning which it is
imperfectly informed. This. paper
urges that the Japanese should have
too much self-respect and should re-
gard their government too highly to
feel that it is sighted. 1t comments:
Some say that the three powers
side step Japan, but such a thing
can never be done AS the lord Of
the Orient, we should be dignified
never to believe that it can be done.
because what the three powers want
to do can never be done without the
consent of Japan.
