WILSON AND DUNE

WILSON AND DUNNE.-There is
one fatal drawback to all the argu-
ments made by the Republican party
in this campaign, and that is, they
are not true. 1 read with interest an
endorsement of Mr.. Hughes by 81
authors and artists, in which they
contended. that although Mr.. Wilson
had brought about some progressive
legislation, still he was only follow
ing the trail of others. Where wasN
the progressive trail before Mr.. VIII
son blazed it? Nationally, it did not
exist. There is a local progressive
trail in the state Of Wisconsin, blazed
by Republican, Mr.. Lafolette; but,
strange to say, in the present cam
paign Mr.. LafoIette has had very lit
tie to say by way Of endorsement for
the national Republican ticket.
Mr.. Roosevelt still persists in
charging the president with coward
ice, hypocrisy and bringing the coun-

HUGHES AND ADVERTISING
Probably the best, example of the
claims made so often by N. D. Coch-
ran, editor of The Day Book, that
advertising makes for a corrupt
press is shown in the present presi-
Dental campaign.
Of course, the Republican press is
for Hughes and the Democratic pa
pers, for policy, are for Wilson, but
practically every one of the so-caIled
independent papers will be found
lined up for Hughes when the show
down comes. Even such alleged lit
erary publications as Golfers, Sat
urday Evening Post, Literary Digest
and others which claim to be indie
pendent in politics always give
Hughes the best Of it.
The reason is that they secure
their revenue from Big Business and
Big Business. wants Hughes because
it can't handle Wilson. These publ
cations are all hardening to their
masters voice.
The Daily News has gone over to
Hughes because it declares Wilson is
dangerous, dangerous because he
had nerve enough to stand up for
an S-hour day, because he put hu-
man rights before property rights.
Before election the Herald will prob
ably be whipped into line for Hughes
for the interests.
This election resolves itself into a
fight between the people, that is, the
class known as the common people,
with Wilson as their champion,
against Hughes and the entire
money forces on the other. The pub
locations cannot live without the
money of the advertisers, so the
people are thrown to one side.

However, thanks to Editor Coch-
ran and others of his type who work
unselfshly for the peoples interests,
the public is beginning to read be-
tween the lines of the matter fur
nished by the controlled press. A
flash of how the people regard VIII
son was shown at the reception ac-
corded the president upon his recent
visit to Chicago and on election day
the real feeling Of how the people
appreciate Wilson will be shown at
the polls. Then the editors will all
begin to explain why it was, and why
this and that occurred, ignoring the
fact that the president chose to serve
the people instead of the money
power.
The spectacle Of julius RosenwaId,
the exploiter of women's and chill
dren's labor, taking the stump to de-
feat our president should be enough
to drive every man and woman, re-
CARELESS of party, to the polls to give
a vote of confidence and admiration
to the man who is fighting for hui
man rights against the greatest pool
of wealth ever combined to defeat a
public servant.-American.

DISCONSOLATE FIDDLER
HEARS VIOLIN CRY OUT
Theft Arrest Fails to Clear Mys-
tery of Vanished Instruments.

George Starr sat at the window Of
his home, Dover Street, last night,
disconsolate and without means Of
driving away his depression. For the
violin and accordion upon which alter
nately George had been wont to do
things TO the eardrums and heart
strings of his neighbors had been
stolen.
Suddenly from the easement above
weird sounds issued. George ran down
stairs.
"It's my violin" he gasped to the
first policeman he ran into. The guy
that stole my fiddle is torturing it,"
At Police Headquarters he told the
same tale, and Detectives Kelly and
Lipsher we're assigned to the case. Be-
meath the window from which the
dolorous sounds still issued the two
sleuths paused.
whatever it is. it ought to be
stopped" Kelly decided at length. So
they climbed the stairs and knocked on
the door.
The sounds ceased, and Ernest
Schiller appeared and was arrested.
But. despite the fact that the room was
still echoing with alleged harmony,
neither violin nor accordion could be
found.
Schiller was locked up notwithstand-
ing, and will be arraigned this morning,
and all the tenants of 6 Dover Street
slept peacefully last night-all save
George Starr, who IS still disconsolate.

MISS PHOEBE OSTRICH
TAKES A DIP IN HUDSON
She's Going to Live for a While
in Jersey.

Somewhere in Jersey" a lonesome
lady ostrich is to-day roaming discon-
solately, looking for a spot that looks
like home, where she may hide her
head and forget in solitude the igno-
miny heaped upon her yesterday on
the steamer c. w. Morse, of the Hud-
son Navigation Company. Here's tip
for any Jersey commuter who happens
to see wandering ostrich as he rushes
for his train: Just call her Phoebe
and she'll eat out of your hand.
Phoebe took passage on the c. w.
Morse at Albany, bound for New York
with a big cinnamon bear. The two
had been sold by circus to Robert
Beckwith, of Silver Pines, n. c. The
C.. w. Morse was nearing New York
when Phoebe decided to take stroll.
The chef, a moment later. glanced
up from his pots and pans to see his
potato masher disappearing down an
elongated neck. He gave yell that
shocked Miss Phoebe. lnsulted. she
turned and stalked to the women's sa-
loon. The appearance of "A mouse could
have caused no greater panic among
the feminine passengers.
Disconsoate at her second rebuff,
Phoebe went TO take the air on deck.
She found the deck being washed, and
lifted her feet in dainty disdain. One
of them CHANGED to land on an exposed
norton of a deckhand's anatomy. He
retalated with his mop. 1t was this
insult that completed the indignities
phoebe felt had been heaped upon her.
She stalked to the rail, plunged over
into the Hudson and swan for the Jer-
sey shore.

bear. Hslt if Phoebe likes Jersey she
