with his cabinet members today. The
general issues Of the campaign were

been directed to furnish materials

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Pres't
Wilson will stand pat on his decla-
ration that the states, and not the
nation should decide the question of
suffrage. He will not declare in
favor of the proposed constitutional
amendment, the white house said to-
day. even though the woman's party
national conference, now in session
in Colorado Springs. adopts resolu-
tons condemning his candidacy. on
behalf of the president, the state
ment was made at the white house
today that he espoused equal suf-
frage as a state issue long before he
had even decided 10 become a candi-
date for reelection and that he can
not change his position now to suit
the leaders of the suffrage movement
in the states here the women have
the vote.
The presidents political managers
will not be surprised should the Col
oradO Springs conference endorse
the candidacy Of Justice Hughes, but
they insisted today that this will aid
the president in many of the big
eastern states, while he will by no
means abandon the hope that when
he again publicly explains his posi-
ton he will get a goodly percentage
Of the suffrage votes in the Pacific
slope states.
Changes His Speech
Meanwhile as Justice Hughes con-
tinues his western trip, directly
charging the administration with
political log-rolling." violation of
the civil service" extravaganza in
Office" and 'incapacity in admins
tering the affairs of the country, -
the bitterness in administration
circles continues. Il is understood
that the president, at the suggestion
Of his advisers, has made radical
changes in certain portions of his
speech of acceptance, and will prob
ably make more before the message
is delivered. The close friends of
the president declare that he will
answer every charge made on the
stump by the republican candidates,
especially those charges which di-
rectly affect his administration.
1t already has been decided that
all of the cabinet officers will take
the stump as soon as the democratic
campaign is opened. They are TO be
assisted by an enormous battery OF
lesser fame, but it is known that the
democratic leaders. intend placinss
great hopes in the stumping tour
which is TO be arranged for Col. Will
liam Jennings Bryan. This latter
trip will begin early next month and
will last until just prior TO the cleo

Childhood "Upsets."

When a child has a fever, is listleSs,
and complains of a dull head or stom-
ach ache, he should be put to bed and
given no food whatsoever. Physicians
recognize this as of first and utmost
importance. 1t would seem as if OBJ
servant parents should also, but ex-
perience with parents Of all classes
convinces me that few of even the
most intelligent do.
John is telling out of sorts. He is
grateful for suggestion that he get
into bed, even though he makes feeble
protests because it is boyhood princi-
pie never to go to bed without protest.
The fever thermometer registers a de-
gree or two of fever
He wants a drink and the intelligent
mother gives him all the cool water he
cares for. He asks for food if it is
near meal time Hear the intelligent
mother say" no" firmly. She doesn't
need to be rough about it. John, under
the circumstances, doesn't need a club.
He doesn't really care for anything to
eat. Once, more, he is only living up
to the principals of boyhood.
Mother intelligence opens the win
dow, lowers the shades sufficiently to
shut out glowing light, pats or kisses
her boy goodnight and quietly goes
out. John very gratefully turns over
and is asleep in moment. Next NOR
ming when his bowels have been clear
ed Out-and this is a safe thing to pro-
vide for ninety-nine times out of
hundred-he's as fit as ever. This is
the course of an intelligently treated
upset
Less intelligent mothers are less
firm They cut down the food to
poached egg on toast and glass of
milk. AS if boy couldn't miss meal
without starving! Their Johns spend
two or three days in bed before stom-
achs and intestines get the equivalent
of the twelve hour rest that those of
John, the first, had
But suppose the disorder is more
serious than a mere upset. All the
of treatment outlined. Any fever,
whether it come from bowels, lungs
or the contagious diseases of child
hood, calls for temporary shutting off
of food and later reduction in quantity
until recovery is complete.
Failure of parents to grasp and foil
ow the above simple truths has result
ed in the manufacture of too many
small white collins.

CHINESE TRADE.

Secretary of Commerce Redfield has
absolutely no sense of humor He an
nOunces that his department is enter
ing upon a campaign to increase sales
of American products in China Yet
the tariff law enacted by his party at
the behest of the president under
whom Redfield serves, cut the duty on
tin so that America is now buying tin
from China, for the first time in our
history. When all it's legislation has
tended to increase Chinese sales in
the United States, it is the height of
absurdity for any member of the pres
ent administration to issue publicity
statements about it's efforts to in
crease sales of American products
there.

MISTAKES ADMITTED BY HIS
FRIENDS AS TO PRINCIPLES
OR PROMISES.

His words are those of a special
pleader seeking to justify his own
record, and he has quite naturally
omitted mentioning either the mis-
takes he has committed or the things
he has left undone We find no re-
cord here of his vacillations and
shortcomings in relations to the Eur
opean war. He does not attempt to
defend his compliance toward the
labor unions; he is silence to his
shameful breach of faith toward the
colored people, his betrayal of the
party on the tariff principle. his
change of front on the Tariff Com
mission, and other issues. There is
no hint here of the arrogance with
which, without adequate consultation
with party leaders, he has single
handed changed the historic policies
of his party. AS if he had had a sec
ond thought on the matter of national
defence, he barely touches upon the
action of congress in the field of pre-
paredness. He has put his best
foot forward, but he cannot expect
that the numerous plumbers and the
dissappointments OF his Administra-
ton will be forgotten.
When one reads this speach one
cannot but regret all the more that
Mr.. Wilson has not lived up to the
promise of four years ago. Had he
but remained true to the principles
he had so often avowed, his re-elec-
ton would now be moral certainty

cold and heartless wretch,
Fair summer pray come back to us

But still the winter kills the flies and

In spite of all these blessings that the
winter brings around,
Off in some warm and balmy cline,
I'd rather far be found.

philosophy at Lehigh University, and
president of Hobart college He rep
resents all that is finest and best of
cur ideals and citizenry. In 1912 he
was anxious to see Woodrow Wilson
elected, believing him to be a sincere
refOrmer; today he is vehemnt in his
desire to see the Great Vacillator"
retired from office, and he believes it
the duty of every American who be-
lieves in Democratic institutions to
work his hardest to bring this about.
He says:
The surrender at Vera Cruz was
the sequel 20 an ilI-considered attack
upon weak and distressed neighbor.
The surrender to BernstOrff was the
meek acceptance of diplomatic af-
front and national humiliation as
well. But the surrender to the bro
therhOOds is the surrender of consti-
tuted authority to the forces Of revo-
iution, together with the infamous be-
trayal to the principles of Democratic
government. No such dastardly and
disastrous episode has ever before
soiled the record of an American ex-
ecutive or blackened the pages of Am
erican history. It's evil consequences
none can depict or foresee No ade-
quate parallel to it can be found.
The industrial Janizaries (these new
soldiers of the imperial labor unions)
marched on the White House and hay-
ing enlisted the president in their
ranks, the two together proceeded to
intimidate congress under the threat
OF national disaster. Congress has
yet further dishonored itself by a sur
render of Democratic principles to a
gang of railway bandits In fear and
trembling and under the spur of the
executive lash it has passed, in I'M
seemly haste, an act of doubtful con-
stitutionality and betrayed at once the
principles of our government and the
cause of the people The result was
telegraphed to Shadow Lawn. and
there the head of our government ac-
tually pronounced this deed of shame
20 be for himself the climax of hap

moral defeats in all tests of essential
manllness are great and glaring. He
is capable of advocating the highest
principles in argument, and he does
it with verbal dignity and in the best
of taste, but when it comes to the final
test of action he falters and surrend-
ers.
