The remains of Mrs. Finis
Martin were brought to Brandon
from New Orleans Sunday after
noon and laid to rest in the
Brandon cemetery, the funeral
services being conducted at the
grave by DR.. M. O. Patterson,
pastor of the Brandon Baptist
church. Mrs. Martin suffered
from tuberculosis, and had been
an invalid for many months.
She was a splendid woman and
bore her suffering uncomplain-
ingly and with the christian for
titude that had characterized her
life. Many friends came from
New Orleans with the grief
stricken young husband to pay,
their last earthly respect to the
faithful and devoted wife of
their friend.
A most deplorable accident oc-
Cured in the Cato neighborhood
q few days ago, in which little
Nina, the 5-months old baby Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Martin lost it's
life in a most tragical manner.
The day was very cold and the
devoted mother had comfortably
wrapped the baby and placed it
in its buggy near the fireplace,
and was looking after the prep
aration of the midday meal. She
returned to the room every few
minutes to see that everything
was all right, and the last trip
she made baby was sleeping so
we'll she rewarmed it's blanket
and tucked it around the buggy
so there would be no danger Of
cold. She did not return from
the kitchen for about 80 minutes,
and when she did return she
found the charred remains of the
idol of her life smouldering in
the midst of the ashes of the
buggy and the clothing that it
contained. The child was burned
beyond recognition, its little
limbs falling off when the body
was picked up. The little re-
mains were laid to rest in the
Ross cemetery, the impressive
service being conducted by Rev.
J. r. Johnston, of D'Lo. The
grief-stricken parents have the
sincere sympathy of every one
lin their sore affection.

THIS CAMPAIGN.
Editor News Times:

Editor News-Times:
One can readily understand why
a German-American who still loves
her Fatherland can be aggrieved at
Germany's inability to supply her
self with American goods, but one
cannot so readily understand why
ne should be aggrieved at Pres't
Wilson because he does not prevent
the sale of American goods to the
allies.
Our markets are open To the
United States is not responsible for
England's naval power which per-
mits it TO clear the seas of its enc
my's merchant vessels The God
dess Of Justice would not look with
favor upon a neutral nation closing
it's markets TO a belligerent country
because il had an advantage over
its foes means OF transportation. So
it would have been decidedly un-
neutral for Priest Wilson TO have
placed an embargo on the shipment
of American merchandise, including
munitions of war, TO the allies dur
ing this war. Such an act would
have been equivalent TO taking sides
with Germany. The kaiser has let
il be known that he considered
Pres't Wilson within his neutral
rights in permitting the expectation
Of war material TO his enemies.
Pres't Wilson's neutrality and
fairness were demonstrated in his
treatment of the Deutschland when
in our port. Ii will be remembered
how insistent England was that this
craft should be claSsed as a war
vessel and interned by the United
States, but finding nothing to war
rant such classification she received
the same consideration as every
other foreign merchantmen had; her
crew enjoyed the same privileges

knowing that the U-53 did nothing
IL conflict with international law
Pres't Wilson ignored England's in
reference with our affairs.
German-Americans now have only
an imaginary grievance against
Pres't Wilson. Should Hughes be
elected they would soon have a
sure-enOush, real, genuine, "unadul-
terated and undiluted" grievance
ranking in their breasts. They can
not be unmindful Of the statements
made by Roosevelt and Hughes
early in the campaign, that they

terances Of the former. full OF hate
and bitterness for Germany: Of
Hughes congratulations to Teddy
over his violent Main speech, which
however. was only a prelude TO his
skin 'em alive" Battle Creek at
tack on Pres't Wilson ana Germany.
The election OF Hughes would
mean the appointment OF Roosevelt
TO an office of responsibility where
he would be a power behind the
throne, ready 10 urge war on Ger
many on the slightest provocation.
for he is already in fighting trim.
If. perckance. we should escape war
with the Teutons another way un-
der all probability would shortly be
opened up for him to show his
spleen against that nation.
The war will not last four Years
more. The United States. beyond a
question, will be called on 10 sug-
Sest terms Of peace for the belliger-
ents at the close Of the contest. Can
Germany expect fairness from such
a bitter enemy as Roosevelt? He
would brook no interference with his
desire 10 humiliate and punish Ger
many for what ne thinks her part in
the war was. But even with Roose-
Welt eliminated elf such a thing
W as possible with Hughes as pres
idenD in the peace conference.
could Germany hope for anything
better from Hughes?
Hughes is Wall St s candidate and
Wall St is turning heaven and earth
10 elect him. Wall ST. has loaned
billions of dollars to England and
Wall st. Will demand that England
receives the first and best consid-
GRAFTON when peace negotiations are
made. AS Hughes has always been
subservient TO Wall st. and big in
terests. he would not forsake his
inclination and obligations 10 serve
his masters, but would use the
office Of president of the United
States TO award England the big
gest slice in the peace terms, 50
Wall SITS loan would be better safe
guarded.
Rev. T. Heineke Of Dubuque, Ia.
a recognized leader of German
thought and for a long time severely
critical of Pres't Wilson, recently
wrote: Il am ashamed to confess
that L have misjudged the president.
None Of the prO-ally re-
publican press doubts for a moment
that Hughes is just as pro-ally as
his spokesman, Roosevelt.
That the republican party intends
TO use the German note merely as
a catspaw in this campaign.
! fear when the game is up, Ger
man voters will regret to see that
they have been sold if they vote
the republican ticket"
German-Americans who still
hold an affection for the country of
their birth had better let well
enough alone" and use their influ-
ence on Nov. eth to return Pres't
Wilson to the white house for they
cannot vote for c. E. Hughes with
any degree of confidence that their
Fatherland will even fare or we'll at
the hands of a republican admins
