How the Votes Fell.

The last election was remarkable
in many ways, but a most significant
feature was the Socialist vote, which
fell from ooI,873 in 1912, to about
10000. This was a distinct change
in the attitude of the voters toward
Socialism, as their vote through many
of the previous years had been stead
lily increasing and although a slower
increase was imminent, no one ex-
pected a decrease.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the
voters who have focked to the Social
ist party in order to obtain more
radical reforms, have found it pos
sible to obtain he same reforms
through the medium of the old estab-
lished parties.
Evidently the Democratic and Re-
publican parties need not look upon
the Social faction as a menace foI
years to come.
The official returns show President
Wilson has been accorded the larges,
popular vote ever given a candidate
His figures of 9,II6,2o6 is I,47S,62c
more than that accorded Taft in 1908
when he polled 7,637.676. However
these figures cannot be accepted as
an authoritative weather vanc, as the
vote is so swelled by woman suffrage
that comparison cannot be made
without considering this feature
Twelve States. or one-fourth of the
entire number, permitted women tc
vote at the last election, while in the
previous Presidential election only sis
States had woman suffrage.
President Wilson's plurality is the
largest ever received by Democratic
candidate, although it is not so large
as that accorded Taft, Roosevelt OF
Mckinley. Grover Cleveland and
Grant received what in their time
was regarded as enormous pluralities
but until the advent of Mr.. Bryan into
Presidential races the popular vote
as a rule was much closer than has
been the case in recent years.

The impression created In some quar-

statement discouraging the purchase of
British Treasury notes will probably be
partially OF wholly effaced by its latest
action. The board authorizes the ap-
pointment of the Bank of England as
foreign correspondent of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York and announces
that any of the other eleven reserve
banks may participate in the agency on
equal terms. With the creation of the
new agency operations both in England
and in the United States are possible
The Bank of England is the first foreign
correspondent to be appointed under au-
thority of the Federal Reserve act. but
1t is expected thai with the Bank Of

LAWYER AS MINER.

Uniontown, Pa. Dec. 2S.-Mining is
better than law. especially If you want
to get some money quickly. The miner
is making from $40 to $55 a week now.
The lawyer is making what he can get.
That was the explanation Robert d.
Warman. former burgess of UniontOwn,
gave today for his decision to return TO
the mines. He will close his law office
tonight and tomorrow will go into the
mines.
At the time of the crash in Greene
County coal properties Mr. Warman
lost a large fortune. He prepared him
self for the law when a young man
with funds earned in the mines.

But fishermen from the little village

Mr.. Lawson Replies.

Thomas w. Lawson exploded an
other hombshell yesterday when in
letter to Representative Wood, OF
Indiana, he predicted that If it actu-
allay became known in Washington
that there would be an investigation
of the alleged leak which occurred
last week neither the. House nor the
Senate would have a quorum on
Monday.
Mr.. Lawson also advises that less
thought be given to the first leak and
that preparations be made for one
this week which may run into bill
lions of dollars.
His letter in part says:
Take . tip from one who played the big
wsshingtoo Wall Street game and the big
international publicity game long before you
were old enough To distinguish between a stock
exchange and a Congressional hall-spend less
effort on last weeks and more on this weeks
leak, which is liable to inundate both Wall
Street and Washington
There only sixty odd millions hogs
headed from last weeks; this weeks may run
into billions.
And this tip. too, Is meant in the best Of
srarit-n 1t actually believed in Wash
ington there to be a real Investigation OF
last weeks leak there would not be 4 quorum
in either the Senate the House next Monday
and there would be shifting or bank accounts
similar To those IN the good old sugar investiga-
ton days.
In reply to an article in New
York papers saying that Representa-
tive Wood and Chairman Henry had
been unable to locate him, Mr.. Law
son, in his letter, cites the delivery of
letter to him which bore only his
name. The letter was mailed from
the interior of China and was ad-
dressed to Thomas w. Lawson,
without further address, and was re-
ceived in record time after its mail
ing.
Mr.. Lawson suggests as a means
of reaching him that in the future
the Representative simply toss post
card from one of the windows of the
Capitol addressed to Thomas W.
lawson" or at. w. L." Boston
Mass.
This part of Mr.. Lawson's letter
may appear facetious, but the ele-
ment of truth supporting it is Sc
strong as to make it logical. But ne
states further that whether or not he
receives post card from either the
Representative or the chairman, 81
will answer your public talking as re-
ported by the press, and that when
you digest my answer you will know
more about Washington-Wal Street
stock gambling leaks than before you
began trying to locate Thomas W.
Lawson, of Boston"
Since the intimation that there had
been leak from Washington was
given to the public last week, so
much comment and so many charges
have been made, that through the
action of some of President Wilson's
subordinates, his administration has
been laid open to most bitter criti-
cism.
Certainly there is enough justif-
cation for an immediate Congress
sional investigation and the Presi-
dent should personally see that such
an investigation is instituted, and al
once.

all tap the same mighty current. HUI
man beings are but different colored
and different sized bulbs which bring
out and manifest for few years a
part of the current which runs Cod
ward. We all live, move, and have
our being in this one great divine
current-the love current, the truth
current, the justice current, and why
shoulden't we love our neighbors as
ourselves? In fact to do anything
else is to injure ourselves. There, is
nothing in hatred, in unkind, unchar-
table, small, mean, bitter feelings
toward others, but poison for our
selves. There is nothing in hatred
but waste-waste sof precious life en-
ergies and potencies which we could
use for constructive, upbuilding, Gre
ative purposes.
Every wrong thought, every un-
kind, uncharitable, thought, every
jealous and even every selfish thought
is blood poisoner, brain poisoner,
a success and happiness hinderer.
The blood cannot be pure, and hence
the health cannot be right, unless the
thought is pure, the motive pure, un-
less the mental attitude toward life is
right
