the subject, Mr.. Wilson stated
that he was entirely unwilling
to enter any contest for the pre-
sidential nomination" but was
willing to permit the use of"
his name in order that "tte
democrats of Ohia may make
known their preference in regard
to the nomination" His announce
ment, it Is made clear. is
Tor the purpose Of satisfying the
technical requirements of the
state of Ohio and is not made
as a bid for support or a chal-
ienge to contest. The position
of the president is that the dem
ocratic voters are the sole ar
blters as to whether he shall be
their candidate for a second
term, and no effort will be made
from the White House to infu-
ence their decisions on that uues-
ton. The president stands
squarely on his record and is
happy to abide the verdict.
There can be no question as to
that verdict. The democratic
party could not nominate an
other without repudiating itself
With Wilson as it's standard
bearer, the party will go into the
presidential campaign girded for
victory. The man and his record
are platform enough. The cool,
sane majority of the American
people have no notion of swan
ping horses in the middle of the
stream. They will stick to the
one who has carried them with
peace and honor thus far
through a maelstorm of world
insanity and violence, with en-
tire confidence that he will carry
them safely the rest of the iour-
ney is that is humanity possi-

HOME.

"A home may be mansion
or a cave in the side of a hill
Brick and boards do not make
a home. They make a house. A
home is built on foundation
OF love, and the upper structure
is made of self respect and mu-
tual respect.
The only man who deserves a
nome is the one who loves ev-
cry blade of grass and every
tree and bush on the premises
and is content with them.
The only woman who deserves
a home is the one whose inter
ests and iovs and fears and
homes center there.
When a man ACQUIRES a home
and learns to love it, he becomes
a good citizen and, in all pro-
liability a good man.
When a woman loses inter
est in her home and goes off af.
ter strange gods, she very pro-
badly loses her character also.
Home loving people are
thrifty, peaceable people with
enough of imagination to see in
rooted twig the towering tree
that will shade their declining
years. They are responsible and
sane, for they have a personal
interest in the State.
Right men will work harder
for a home than for any other
prize. Having attained it. they
will fight harder to preserve it
than they will fight in any
other cause. Witness the little
army of Belgium fighting for its
gardens.
Four walls and roof, sim
plicity. love and contentment.
with Gods presence and bless
ing-these constitute an ideal
home, and all the wealth of the
Indies could not make it more
worth while.-Fountain Inn Tri-
bune.
