AMERICANS MAY DESIGN CAMBRIA PARLIAMENT HOUSE Australian Architect Protest Unfair Advantage Given
 By War.

Melbourne Australia, Oct. 17.- When it was decided decently by the Federal Ministry to revive the archi- tectural competition for design for the Federal Parliament House at Can berra (the Commonwealth capital site), which was suspended in Septem- Der 1914 on account of the outbreak of the war, Australian architects de- clared this was practically giving the thing to the United States" By this was meant the advantage held by Americans in that their nation is not at war.
 The Victorian Institute of Archi- tects protested against proceeding with the competition at present but the Mipister for Home Affairs King O'Mal- ley Canadian who was once a New York bank clerk, replied that the de- rision was that of the Cabinet and was unanimous; that while some ar chitects might not be able to compete on account of the war sufficient talent should be available to ensure a satis- factory range of designs being submit ted.
 As announced by Mir. O'Malley the terms of the competition are: Designs must be in by January 31, 1917. A total sum of $3O,O00 will be paid in premiums for the first eight designs, the first design entitling its author to $10,000 The judges will be G. T. Poole, Australia; Sir John J. Burnett, Great Britain; Victor Laloux, France Eliel Saarinen, Russia and Louis H. Wagner, Chicago, The Ministry will employ the architect placed first by tho t',;1Sir ,,,,+ a,,,,1 nro1,;siot,, VI construction of the edifice will be spread over number of years.

RURAL VOTE OF x NORTH DAKOTA
 FOR PRESIDENT
Farmers Who Supported
 Taft or Roosevelt Are With Wilson.

New York. Oct. 17--North Dakota farmers are almost to man coming out in support of President Wilson. The surprising feature of this is in the fact that four years ago they sup. ported either Taft or Roosevelt. with few exceptions. Prosperity. which they recognize as being due to the United States not being at war and that this maB be placed entirely to thf credit of President Wilson, is the cause of their change.
 V P. c. Mcdowell, prominent farmer and stockmap of Velva. North Dakota, writes to the National Headquarters of the Woodrow Wilson Independent League:
 I'm a Republican, always have been; but I'm for Wilson. I didn't vote for him four years ago but I'm for him now and for him strong. He is the right man in the right place and he ought to be kept there. All of my neighbors feel as do and that s why. regardless of party, we are do- ing all we can. to re-elect the Presi- dent that has stood by us.''
 P. B. Gilligan, a retired farmer of Fargo, North Dakota, who is one of the most active workers in the Wilson League in that city, gives these req sons for supporting President Will son: ,a sss4 E1WHl
 "If twenty years ago, any one would have told me that the time would come when ]. would be found support ing with all the energy at my com mand a Democratic candidate for President, I would very much have doubted the sanity of the prophet. I feel, however, that Edison has ex- pressed it most effectively. when he says, times are too serious to talk in terms of Republicanism or Democ- racy. When it's America that's at stake, men have got to vote as Amer icans.'
 After the administration of Wood row Wilson, ] would most certainly hesitate to ask the people of this country to go back to the inefficient and unsound conditions which prevail ed in our National life, prior to 1912 During all the years that may party was in power-for I was Republican we inaugurated and kept in, n,>force the worst banking system that any country has ever known; and in spite of the fact that we knew the needs we never supplied the remedy.

City Of the Powder Puff,


 As everybody knows. New York is the woman! It is the most feminized of all our cities, the one in which American women worship is carried to the widest extreme, the enc in which scarcely anything is done without ref ercnce to the eternal feminine. Almost comic is the universal preoccupation with sex, as reflected iii the newspa- pers, the naga=.nes, tine theaters, the cafe life, everywhere. Ard though am the first to announee iO the true symbol of New yoai, is the powder puff.-Michael sIopahan in Phoenix.

ATTACK IS MADE
ON ADMINISTRATION
BY ELIHU ROOT


we are now hated for what we did
for our feeble and irresolutc failure to
protect tho lives and rights Of our
citizens. No flag Is 80 dishonorcd and
no citizenship so little worth the
claiming in Mexico as ours. And that
is why We have failed in Mexico.
And for the death and outrage the
suffering and ruin Of our brethren, the
hatred and contempt for our country,
ana the dishonor OF our name in that
land, the American administration at
Washington shares responsibility with
the inhuman brutes with whom it
made common cause.
Mr. Root turned to the administra-
tons European policy, declaring that
some of the people were dissatisfied
for specific reasons, some with n
vague impression that our diplomacy
has been inadequate. At this point in
his address the speaker enumerated
what he declared were the administra-
tioua three fundamental errors" AS
TO the first Of thcse-''lack Of fore
sight to make timely provision for
backing UP American diplomacy by
actual or assured military and naval
force Air Root pointed to hnmcdi-
ate mobilization by switzerland and
Holland. and continued.
Ordinary knowledge OF European
affairs made IT plain that the war
vas not begun by accident but with
purpose which would not soon be re-
lnquished. Ordinary knowledge Of
military events made it plain from the
moment when tho tide Of German in
vasion turned from the battle Of the
Marine that the conflict was certain to
be Ions and desperate. Ordinary
knowledge OF history--of our own
history during Napoleonio wars-made
il plain that in that conflict neutral
rights would be worthle unless pow
erfully maintained All the world had
fair notice Of that, as against the des-
pcrate helligcrent resolve to conquer.
the law OF nations and the law Of hui

"a single official expression BY the

pie Of America that leadership to

would have ranged behind American
leadership the conscience and morality
Of the neutral world. 1t would have
brought American diplomacy the re-
spect and strength Of loyalty to a
great cause. But it was not to he.
The American government failed to
rise to the demands OF the greet oc-
casions
we have been following the path
of geace. we have been blindly stunt
bling along the road that, continued,
will lead us to inevitable war. our
diplomacy had dealt with symptoms
and ignored causes. The great de-
csive question upon which our peace
depends is the question whether the
rule Of action applied to Belgium Is
to be tolerated. If it Is tolerated by
the civilized world, this nation will
have to fight for its life There will
be no escape This is the critical
point of defense for the peace Of
America.
When our government failed to
tell the truth about Belgium, 1t lost
the opportunity for leadership Of the
moral sense of the American people,
land it lost the power which a knowl-
edge Of that leadership and a sympa-
thctic response from the moral sense
Of the world would have given to our
diplomacy When our government
failed to make any provision what
ever for defending its rights in case
they should be trampled upon, it lost
the power which a belief in its readi-
ness and win to maintain its rights
would have given to its diplomatic
representations When our govern
ment gave notice TO Germany that 1t

which would have been potent II sus-
tained by adequate preparation to
make them good, and by the prestige
land authority of the moral leadership
of great people, in a great cause,
were treated with a contempt which
should have been foreseen; and when
our government failed to make those
words good, its diplomacy was bank
lrupt.
