.EAR MRS. THOMPSON: While

DEAR MRS. THOMPSON: While
- visiting in another town our son,
aged lS, made the acquaintance Of
a young lady One week after he came
home she followed right along and Sc.
cured work. Son played gallant faith
fully for six months. Every Saturday
night they went TO some show-usually
the best, Sunday night to church and
many times he went with her in the
middle OF the week. 81, po, seemed
quite attentive and came 10 our house
several times. and called up by the tel
cphonc She changed her work a good
~ number OF times so htat her hours
would time with his.
About five weeks ago she went home
and as yet has failed to write him a
line, although he has written What
do you think OF such conduct II is
ignorance or is II to let him know tha,
now she has got out OF him all she can
she has just lcft' Should we as par
ents try TO hinder his going with her
when she gets back Or ii she should
write should we try to persuade him to
give her up entirely? The affair all
along has been very dlstasteiul to us.
We will thank you il you can help us.
PERPLEXED PARENTS.
The girl was selfish and hcartlcss,
and does not deserve future consider
alton from your son unless she has a
very good cxQssh for what she has done.
She is ignorant or she would realize
that to treat some one as she treated
your son will react on her by making
her hard and unloyable. Tell your son
(it she comes back that you think it
would be best for him to give her up
entirely, but tina, YOU will not insist be
cause you rely upon his judgment Ii
hc thinks that YOU have confidence in
him he will be more apt to respect
your wishes A boy OF ls is not hope
leSSly in love and so YOU have little To
fear

"Terrible Teddy, who for q NUM-
Der of years was the idol of the Re-
publican party, and more recently
has been worshipped by the "Bull
Moosers," has finally "turned his toes
to the daisies" politically speaking,
And now his feet are discovered to
be of clay, just as many had long
thought they were. The final chap
ter of his political career was marked
by his recent desertion of the party
he had brought into being to serve his
own selfish interests. Normally,
Theodore Roosevelt was gifted with
more than average mentality, but he
was never we'll poised, and his rapid
rise politically was too much for him,
permitting his brain power to deter
iorate and crumble into chaos. Per-
feet poise is necessary in the recipi-
emit of loud and prolonged applause,
if he is to retain an equilibrium. Such
a mental balance is very rare. Ger
tainly Roosevelt was sadly lacking
in the necessary mental poise of a
truly great man.

Orrin L. Munger of Piedmont is a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress and his formal
announcement of that fact appears in
The Times this week.
Mr.. Munger is not unknown to our
people, for he partially received his
education in Pennington at Carleton
College. That was a number of years
ago, since which time he has grad
ually been climbing the ladder of sue
cess as a lawyer of recognized hon
esty and integrity as well as ability,
and has won credit as faithful SER
want of the people in the capacity Of
Prosecuting Attorney of his county
(Wayne) and other responsible pub
lie positions. 1t is at the earnest So
licitation and encouragement of many
friends in different parts of the dis
trict, coupled with a commendable
ambition to enter public life, that he
has decided to ask the Democrats of
the Thirteenth District to honor him
with the nomination for their Repre-
sentative in Congress. And it is not
as an amateur in public affairs that
he enters upon this course. He has
been a close and observant student
of public questions, and as an earnest
adherent to the underlying principles
of the Democratic party has2 often
done good and effective campaign
work for his party. shi
Mr.. Munger is not a diletante in
any sense of the meaning. His life
has been one of hard work with a
definite purpose in view. AS a boy
and young man he has labored with

WILSON
DEFINES "AMERICANISM''

In speech calculated to stir thought
in the minds of the people, delivered at
West Point last Tuesday to the grad
yates of the Military Academy and
a large audience, President Wilson de-
fined Americanism from the Demo-
cratic point of view. He said:
"We have drawn our people, as you
know, from all parts of the world, and
we have been somewhat disturbed re-
Gently, gentlemen, because some Of
those though | believe very small
number-whom we have drawn into
our citizenship have not taken into
their hearts the spirit Of America and
have loved other countries more than
they loved the country of their adop-
ton.
eve have talked a great deal about
Americanism. 1t ought to be a matter
of pride with us to know what Amer
icanism really consists in. Ameri-
canism consists in utterly believing
in the principles of America and put
ting them first as above anything that
might by chance come into competi-
ton with it, And for my part be-
lieve that the American test is a
spiritual test. If man has to make
excuses for what he has done as an
American l doubt his Americanisnl.
He ought to know at every step of his
action that the motive that lies be-
hind what he does is motive which
no American need be ashamed Of for
moment. Now we ought to put this
test to every man we know. We
ought to let it be known that nobody
that does not put America first can
concert with us. But we ought to set
them the example by thinking Amer
lean thoughts, by entertaining Amer
lean purposes and those thoughts and
purposes viii stand the test of OK
ample anywhere in the world, for
they are intended for the betterment
Of mankind

NO MILITARIsM IN U. S.

In his address to the graduates of
the Military Academy at West Point
last Tuesday, President Wilson point
ed out to them their duty and their
station-not "militaristic," but mil
itary, subject to the civil authority
of the counry which rests in the peo-
pie. He said:
"You know that the chief thing
that is holding many people back
from enthusiasm, from what is called
preparedness, is the fear Of milftar-
ism. want to say a word to you,
young gentlemen, about militarism
You're a militarist because you are a
military. Militarism does not con-
sist in the existence of an army, not
even in the existence of a very great
army. Militarism is a spirit. 1t is a
point of view. 1t is system. 1t is
purpose. The purpose of militarism
is to use armies for aggression. The
spirit of militarism is the opposite of
civilian spirit-the citizen spirit. In
country where militarism prevails,
the military man looks down on the
civilian regards him as inferior,
thinks of him as intended for his, the
military mans, support and use; and
just so long as America is America
chat spirit and point of view is impos-
sible with US. There is as yet in this
country, so far as | can discover,
no faint of the spirit of militarism.
"You young gentlemen are not pre-
ferred in promotion because Of the
families you belong to-. You are NOT
drawn into the academy because you
Belong to certain influential circles.
You do not come here with a long ira
dition Of military pride back Of you.
"You are picked out from the citi-
zens Of the United States to be that
part of the force of the United States
which makes its policy safe against in
reference. You are the part of
American citizens who say to those
who would interfere: 'You must not
and You shall not But you are
American citizens, and the idea /
want to leave with you boys to-day it
this:
"No matter what comes. always re-
member that, first Of all, you are cit
liens Of the United States before you
are officers, and that you are officers
because you represent in your pro-
fession what the citizenship Of the
United States stands for. There is
no danger of militarism If you are
genuine Americans, and | for one do
not doubt that you are. When you
begin to have the militaristic spirit
not the military spirit, that is all
right begin to doubt whether
you are Americans or not.
"You know that one thing in which
our forefathers took pride is this,
that the civil power is superior to the
military power in the United States.
Once and again the people Of the
United States have so admired some
g1eat military man IS to make him
President Of the United States, when
he became Commander in Chief Of all
the forces Of the United States, but

his hands lin the field and mills, with
few of the advantages enjoyed by the
youth of today; but he had vision
of higher and better things always
before him. He had attained young
manhood before he could reach out
and take hold of the educational adj
vantages that were to help him on to
a retaliation Of his ideals. With men
tai industry, steadiness of purpose,
and a conscientious and honest dis
charge of his obligations, he has won
a sure position at the bar and the re-
spect and confidence of his fellowinen
His political convictions are funda-
mentally democratic, his sympathy
and aims with the hardy, honest work
ing people from which he sprang, and
his convictions on public affairs in
perfect harmony with the wholesome,
progressive and constructive policies
of President Wilson's administration.
He AYERS that he has no quarrel with
either Mr.. Hensley, the present in
cumbent, or Mr.. Robb, his other OPP
ponent for the nomination; he does
not seek the nomination on the weak
ness or shortcomings of another, but
hopes to merit it by his own fitness
for the responsible position to which
he aspires and the belief that he can
serve the interests of this district and
his country, which lie along the lines
of Democratic principles. And in this
spirit he asks their support, pledging
himself to the utmost of his ability
and energy to faithful discharge
the trust that may be placed in his
keeping.

Of course Mr. Bryan will support
Mr.. Wilson for a second term. No
one who knows Mr. Bryan's steadfast
democracy ever doubted it, but at St.
Louis this week he clearly set all
doubts aside as to his attitude. To a
st. Louis Republic representative he
said last Tuesday: 81 cannot under
stand why anyone should be so fool
ish as TO think l would not support
Mr.. Wilson. The interests of America
demand that President Wilson re-
main in the White House, and GER
tainly shall fulfil my duty. I shall
consider it privilege to advocate the
Presidents reelection"

The Democrats of Nebraska refus-
ed to send Mr.. Bryan to the National
Democratic Convention because of his
firm position on the question of pro-
hibition, but he is there as news
paper correspondent, and the conven-
ton will no doubt have the good judg-
ment to invite him to address it. The
party has nothing to fear from what
Mr.. Bryan may say or do, but much
to gain.

course, so that the one thing that body

Hughes for President, the one thing

Congressman Walter L. Hensley
came home from Washington the last
of the week and spent few DAYS in
this district. He was compelled to
make his stay brief, as his work in
Congress is such that he would not
consent to be away from it while i'm
portant Legislation is liable to come
up any day. He attended the open
ing of the Democratic National Con-
yention in st. Louis Wednesday and
Thursday, leaving last night to re-
sumo his Congressional duties. Mr..
Hensley expects to be able to spend
a little time, at least, in his district
before the August primaries. He says
he is in better health at present than
he has been for several years past,
and feels confident that he will be
again chosen to succeed himself.

Frederick w. Lehman of st. Louis
is being suggested as a suitable man
for President Wilson to appoint JUS
tice of the Supreme Court to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Hughes, and number of
st. Louis lawyers have wired the
President urging his appointment. He
was Solicitor General under Presi-
dent Taft, but is, nevertheless, con-
sidered Democrat.

was in force. The Missouri Supreme
Court, however, held in 1915 that the
Attorney General could not sue for
all the shippers and passengers. Bar
ker's next move was to file suits
against the various carriers to col
lect the overcharges from State en-
ployes travelling on business.
The total amount involved in these
later suits is about $4,000. Ewing
remarked that many of the States
vouchers were destroyed at the time
the State Capitol was burned, in 1911.
The amount of the overcharges col
lected from shippers and passengers
throughout the State during the sew
en-year period of the injunction has
been estimated as high as $95,OO0,000,
said Ewing.
