most disastrous, started in the roOl
room at midnight in an unknown man
ner, and with the strong wind blowir g
quickly got beyond control aud in a
short three hours, out of 18 structures
OH the south side of the Grand Trunk
tracks, only five remain standing. The
wind was so strong and shifted in such
a manner that buildings on both side
of the street were burning. Emmett
has no water system, but every well
and cistern were pressed into service
and men and women worked like
Trojsns in their effort TO conquer the
stubborn flames,
Calls for help were sent out to Port
Huron, Cspac, Memphis and GoOdells
by the brave young telephone operator,
Miss Vera Reid, who sat at her post
warning all the villagers who had
phones first and then sent the outside
calls until the persistent flames were all
about her and she was led out by her
brother
James j. McGrath, it is said, is the
largest individual loser by the fire, with
his loss estimated at $4,000.
The bank loses about $4,000 aud
more If the contents of the safe are
injured.
1t is reported that the work of re.
building the village business houses
will be begun as soon as necessary ad-
justments and plans Can be made.

A DEMOCRATIC WAR HORSE

James Kelly Pool, editor of the
Centralia Courier and Democratic
candidate for Secretary of State, has
been fighting the battles of his party
for third of century. Always on
the firing line, he has never faltered
or failed to do his full duty in every
campaign. SO effective was his work
on the publicity committee six years
ago that one of the best known Con-
gressmen of the State, who now has
no opposition for denomination, re-
Gently stated that he regarded Kelly
POOLS services to the party in that
campaign greater than that of any
other one man in the State. For years
past Kelly Pool has been assisting in
getting up the campaign sheet from
week to week, for which service he
has never charged or been paid one
single cent. Fair minded Democrats
love to reward those who have unset
fishly served the party For the first
time in his life Kelly Pool is asking
for place on the Democratic ticket
He is qualified and worthy and SHOULD
be nominated. He is pre-eminently
the man for the place and his name OF
the ticket will be worth thousands o.
votes to the ticket in November.

WIND OUT OF THEIR SAILS

The fact of it is that President VIII
son by his clean, able, and patriotic
administration has left room for no
issue the Republicans can present.
They are simply dying Of hunger for
office" and the grafters who always
thrive and fatten when the Republic
cans are in power, are doing all that
they can to injure the good name Of
President Wilson. But it is not as
easy to fool the people as it was 20
years ago, and they know mighty well
that they were exceedingly fortunate
in having Woodrow Wilson in the
White House when the terrible war
broke out in 1914 and which has drawn
every great nation into its deadly
embrace except the United States
The country has simply made up its
mind that one good term deserves an
other, and so it is going to retain the
able and incompatible services Of
President Wilson for another term
instead Of changing him for one whose
fitness, Judgment and leadership woulc
be an experiment of uncertain anC
possibly disastrous results.

WOMAN WHO MADE FARMING
A SUCCESS ON FIVE ACRES

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside woman tells in part as fol-
lows how she has made a farming
success on five acres:
IF woman must handle her land
herself, she can make better living
from five acres than from fifty. /
have some right to judge because |
can keep altogether buster on my five
acres than woman should be.
when my husband died / was in
very poor health. / couldn't teach,
as | used to do, because Of my tiny
baby, SO put up nearly all my ready
money into five-acre home, joined
by the Grange, and went to farming.
1T is hardly necessary to say that
we didn't live extensively the first
year, nor do we now. 1t is too early
yet to balance accounts for the sec
ond year, but we are doing better
than last year.
"Most important of all, am we'll
better than / have been in years
and my two-year old daughter is
much healthier than last year.
"The vegetable garden, small fruit
and little flock of hens afford an cas-
Ter and surer living for US than ]
could get in any other way that woulG
be equally healthful and at the same
time FURNISH permanent home"

Mignonette

She got on the cars at Evanston,
carrying great fragrant bunch OF
mignonette, and an immense palm
leaf fan. Kindliness and good nature
beamed from every line of her shin
ing black face; she sat down beside
tired looking woman with baby,
and the woman jerked her skirt aside
and frowned.
Al preoccupied merchant in the seat
back came out of a brown study, and
shifted the air thoughtfully; then he
caught sight of the mignonette, and
his face lighted. Thought / wasn't
mistaken" he said to the man at his
side. "Ten years since I've noticed
that smell before-I was sure it was
mignonette; mother used to have it
all along the walks at home"
The black woman turned, smiling.
"Hab some, marster," she said. "Ah
has plenty moah," and she reached
back a generous bunch.
Presently sick child in the front
seat raised his head and said: "Do
you smell mignonette, mother? 1t
makes me think Of grandmother's. ;"
She did not hear the words, but she
caught the wistful glance, and in a
moment she was waddling down the
| aisle. "Youall want some, Honey?"
4 she asked, in a voice that was a ca
ress, and the child smiled his pleas
ure, as his hands closed over the
| stems.

bedecked in cheap jewelry and gaudy
finery touched her arm. "Can't you
spare me little, Antie?" she asked.

Annual Recitals of Schubert
School Prove Very Successful

a manner rejecting great credit up
on their teachers. While only a linn

enough from each of the three de-

to prove the merit Of the work being
done in all three. Following is the

Platforms

While Theodore Roosevelt was de-
nouncing "the most evil service and
the 'shabby deeds" of President VIII
son yesterday, the Roosevelt party
was framing platform in which there
is not word that directly challenges
a single policy or a single measure
or single act of the Wilson admins
tration,
While Roosevelt was ranting
against the sinister, professional
German Americans" the Roosevelt
party was framing platform m
which there is not word that relates
to the alleged Gelman-American con-
spiracy or the kyphenated propagan-
da.
While Roosevelt has been assailing
the President for his weasel words"
in respect to universal voluntary mil
itary training, the Roosevelt party
frames a platform in which there is
not word that favors the compul
sorry military training which Roose-
welt advocates.
1t is a platform that is silent about
Belgium and all the pretended obli-
cations Of the United States about
which Roosevelt has frothed and
famed.
1t is a platform that is silent about
war with Mexico and shirks every de-
mand for intervention that Roosevelt
has made.
It is a platform that is silent about
the Presidents submarine policy
against which Roosevelt has roared
and Numbered.
1t is a platform that accepts Pres
ident Wilson's preparedness policy
concerning which Roosevelt has torn
passion to tatters.
1t is a platform which expresses no
definite convictions except in favor
of restoration of a monopoly tariff.
1t is a platform which smothers all
of Roosevelt's militant speeches and
vehemently declares that eve stand
for peace"
The Progressive platform revelas a
party that is as bankrupt in issues
as the Republican party. Indeed the
two platforms might have been put
together by the same master hand-a
little more rhetoric in the Bull Moose
production and little more Wall
| Street in the Republican production.
What stands forth above every
thing else in both platforms is the n.y.
pocrisy of the Roosevelt and Repub-
iican attacks on President Wilson's
European policy and handling of the
diplomatic affairs of the United States
during this world war. When the
F, time came to act officially neither
party dared to make good its verbal
assaults upon the President. Neither
! party dared to go before the country
on the partisan issues it had tried to
raise. Neither party dared to tell
the American people wherein the
President had done what he ought not
| to have done or failed to do what he
ought to have done.
What both of these Republican par
ties have done is to frame platforms
designed to hold the German vote,
which is mainly Republican; to hold
the advocates of peace, who are as
numerous in the Republican party as
in the Democratic party; to hold the
opponents of extreme preparedness
who constitute majority of both
parties. and to hold Wall Street and
the traiff monopolists, who must be
relied upon to provide the soap for
the campaign.
Both platforms suck the meaning
out of the partisan attacks on Pres
ident Wilson's wisdom, courage and
1 Americanism. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
