Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.-Turnu Severin, the first town in Roumania to receive a baptism of iron after hostilities were declared between that country and Austria -Hungaria, is de- scribed by the Nationa, Geogra phic society in bulletin issued today from Washington:
 "It is an eleven mile voyage down the Danube from the international boundary line at Verciorova to a point opposite Turnu Severin upon which Austrian monitors opened fire two days after the declaration of war. This busy Roumanian town of 5000 inhabitants, pleasantly situated on high ground and partly hidden from the river by trees, has important ship yards and repair shops for the Dan ube Steamship Navigation company, and is a center for trade in petroleum, cereals and preserved heats. It is supposed to derive it's name from the ruins of an old tower in the vicinity which is said to have been built in comm emoration of one Of the victories of the Roman emperor Sorverus.
 "It was at Turnu Severin that the late King Charles I, who died only a few weeks after the outbreak of the European war in 1914, first landed on Roumanian soil in May 1866, and was hailed by the populaCe as the success sor to their first prince, Colonel Cuza, who, as Alexandru John I, had been forced to abdiCate short time pre- viOuSly.

ARRESTED FOR, OLD CRIME
Toronto Police Take Into Custody Marble Worker For Theft From Bank Five Years Ago.

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 14.-Michael R, ShortaH, 8 marble worker of Chi cago, was arrested here yesterday in connection with the robbery five years ago, of the New Westminster branch of the Bank of Montreal. About two years ago Martin H. Flanagan of Chicago was arrested, charged with bringing stolen notes into Canada. The money, amounting to $1.925. was deposited by Flanagan in a safety de- posit vault, where it has lain ever since. Flanagan was acquitted, as the numbers on the notes did not corre spond with those stolen.
 Shortall was trying to withdraw the money when he was arrested. He claimed that he was simply acting as an emissary of Flanagan and knew nothing about where the money came from.

ian principality Charles could not be espoused openly, but upon the advice of Bismarck he resigned his commits sion in the Prussian army and, under an assumed name and with forged passport, made his way down the Danube into the country over which he was to rule most successfully first as prince and later as king, for moreu than half @ century.
 "A short distance below Turnu Sev- erin is the little village of Kladova which in Roman times was known as Egeta the station from which Trajans two roads of conquest diverged, one up the banks of the Danube and the other striking north into Dacia It was the latter road which necessitated the. construction of the famous Trajan Bridge across the Danube at this point, the largest in the Roman em- pire. How well the great Damascus architect ApollOdorus designed this structure is indicated by the fact that after more than 1890 years portions of some of it's twenty stone piles de- scribed by the historian GibbOn arc still to be seen, and perhaps it would have done service for centuries hads it not been destroyed to prevent the invasion of the territory south of the river by the Goths.

4 BATTLE ROYAL
 COMING IN ILLINOIS
DunDe and LoWden Fitted Against
 Each Other in Election

Chicago, Sept. 14-One of the hard est fought political campaigns in the history of Illinois will be waged be- tween Governor Edward F. Dunne, democrat, and former Congressman Frank o. Lowden, republican, nomi mated for governor yesterday by the democrats and republicans, respeC- lively it was predicted today. Both rolled up pluralities of approximately 100, ,000 over their nearest competitors in the nomination race, according to returns available early today.
 Governor Dunne defeated William B. Brinton of Dixon, a manufacturer who had the backing of Roger c. Sul- livan. Dunne won Cook county by approximately 6O,OO0 and had a plu- rality of about 5000 in one-third of the down-state precincts. Lowden won in Cook by about 3O.0OO and state by twice that plurality.
 Lorimer Appears Defeated.
 Defeat of William Lorimer for Con- gress from the Sixth Illinois district seemed assured early today, although returns were incomplete. Arthur w. Fulton had a plurality of 1000 over the busted United States senator, who made a determined fight to win the support of his old congressional dis trict.
 Medill Mccormick, former progress sve, and former Senator William E. Mason were nominated by the repub- licans for congressm -at-large, ac- cording to returns received up to 5 Q. m. Congressman-a B. M. Chiperfield, however was running Mason a close race.

Pooling Themselves,
(New York World. !

The Philadelphia North American, which is trying in half-hearted way to support MT. Hughes, assures it's progressive readers that "in support ing him, one does not have to in dorse the republican party"
 What does he have to indorse?
 Will the North American tell us how any voter can indorse Mr. Hughes without indorsing Boies Penrose for chairman of the senate finance com mittee? Or how he can indorse MT. Hughes without indorsing Joseph w. FOrdney for chairman of the house committee on ways and means? Or without indorsing Shoot and Lodge and Gallinger and Weeks and Sherman and the other standpat republicans who control their party in congress-?
 The thing is impossible. Every vote for MT. Hughes is a vote for reaction ary republicanissn. Progressives of the North Americans kind may prefer reactionary republicanism to Wilson democracy, but they should not try to fool themSelVeG

Col. WattcrSOn on Lincoln.
(LOuiSVi!Ie COurier-JO,1r


 In a world of sin, disease and death heartbeats vibrate between the twin mysteries of the cradle and the grave-the ideal seems unattain- able, and least of all in government, the most imperfect of mundane insti tutions. Since the beginning of or ganized society we have seen an ire pressible conflict between the many and the few, too often the few seek ing unfair advantage, the many Dur suing the claims of right and the phantOms of hope to anarchism, even to ruin and despair. History shows us many mock heroes-nOt many real heroes. The mass and body of men can never be sure. It is not given them to see beneath the surface-tO look behind the screen-and thus in advance to know the hidden aims, the selfish motives, the defective person. alities. They need must take a deal for granted. Yet have emergencies found leaders who seem to have been raised up by the Almighty to certain ends, and of these Abr2 ham Lincoln will ever hold a foremost place, thus far in American annals second only to Washington.
 Born as lowly as the Son of God, in a hovel; reared in penury sQualor, with no gleam of light nor fair sur rounding; without external graces, ac- tual or acquired; without name or fame or official training; it was re- served for this strange being, late in life, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a su- preme moment, and intruSted with the destiny of a nation.
 The preat leaders Of his partv the most experienced and accomplished public men of the time, were made to stand aside; were sent to the rear whilst this fantastic figure was led by unseen hands to the front and given the rens of power. It is immaterial whether we were for him. or against him; where he came from, whether from the North or the South. That during four years, carrying with them such a weight of responsibility as the world never witnessed before, he filled the vast space allotted him in the eyes and actions of mankind is to say that he was inspired of God, for mo- where else could he have acquired the wisdom and the virtue.
 Where did the author of Shake speare's plays get his genius? From whom did Mozart get his music? Whose hand smOte the Tyre Of the Scottish plowman and stayed the life of the German priest? God, God and God alone; and. as surely as these were raised up by God, inspired by God, was Abraham Lincoln; ana thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be nheo with greater wonder, or be followed oy mankind with deeper feehng' tnah that which tells the story or hls llie and death.

It was a worthy motive that 8mpted the placing of the American B in front of the City Hall.

EXCOMMUNICATED.

one of the morning papers an- nounces that formal excommunica- ton has been passed on Representa-
 tive Clifford I. Stoddard, who was elected as a Democrat and who turned Republican. The chairman of the Democratic town committee in Wood- bridge has stricken the deserting Rep- resentatlVe's name from the list of committeeman. This chairman prob ably read the description of the scene which occurred at the special session Of the General Assembly on Tuesday. At that time one of the lawmakers. addressing the chair, said he noted with pleasure that the member from Woodbridge had shaken the dust of Democracy from his feet and was on the verge of entering the Republican camp. Whereupon, after resol ation had been introduced, a committee was appointed to conduct the member from Woodbridge from the democrat As the committee of one advanced toward the Hon. MT. Stoddard's seat a wild wave of cheering inundated the assemblage and all hands were drowned temporarily in the din and racket made by the Republicans. In the excitement of the moment a Dem ocrat forgot his manners and said something about good riddance of bad rubbish and then, and then, came the event that led directly to the excom- munication of the Hon. Clifford I. Stoddard. According to the news re- ports of the affair after the great Ova- ton rendered him by his new found political friends, the member from Woodbridge was led, by the commit tee of one, to the seat formerly occu- pied by a gentleman from Fairfield county who is now serving a sentence in Wethersfield.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions ns discussed in ex- changes that come to tho Herald Office
The Program is the Vital Thing.
(New Haven UniOn).

Congress passed as emergency leg islation the second and third of President Wilson's recommendations for preventing railroad strikes in the future, and by so .doing congress blocked the threatening tie-up. But the rest of the presidents recOmmen- dations is the vital part. Taken alone, the second and third parts form only temporary expedient. At the next session of congress the rest of the recommendations will form the most important work of the legisla- tors.
 The presidents strlke-settleme ent plan comprises these measures which were defined in his address to con- gress:
 1. Immediate provision for the en- largement of the interstate commerce commission to meet it's duties.
 2. An eight-hour day as the legal basis of work and wages for train operatives.
 3. The appointment of a commits sion to observe the actual workings of the eight-hour day and report the facts to congress.
 f. Authorizing the interstate com merce commission to take wages and working conditions into consideration in fixing rates.
 5. Provision for compulsory pub lie investigation of labor disputes in railroad operation before a strike or lockout may be declared.
 6. Lodging in the hands of the president power to operate railroads in case of military necessity and to draft train crews and administrative officials for that purpose.
 Hughes proposes to make an 'is- sue" out of what has been done. From the democratic standpoint such de- cision on his part should cause re- joicing. Would he have refrained from trying to prevent strike? Would he have refused to sign the eight-hour law passed by congress? Would he now repeal it if he had the power? Hughes says what has been done is all wrong. The answer is as always: Well, what would you have done, and what do you propose?'
 President Wilson's recOmmenda- tions are clear, detailed, and before the public in black and white. Hughes says they are all wrong. The coun- try asks MT. Hughes what his pro- gram for avoiding a strike calamity is, what his recommendation" would be.
New Britain herald., 1916-09-14

the thing that counts for so much is that the vast majority of those who know the Colonel like him and look upon him as friend. He has shown his friendship for Marcus H. Holcomb by not entering the lists and carrying with him into the fight all those who would follow him for very loyalty be they Dem ocrats or Republicans.
 Having disposed of himself in this fashion, Colonel Osborn now leaves the Democrats free to do something many years in this state and which they could not readily accomplish be- cause of the timber that lay in the ranks of the older politicians. Now, some younger man will set chance to head the ticket. And pitting Youth against Age will not be a bad thing at all. It will insure Connecti- cut of live campaign. of action from start to finish. Take a man like Irv- ing Fisher >of Yale for instance He would put life and vim into any po- ht1cal battle he essayed because he is progressive. Old Connecticut would be rocked to her very foundations with the arguments and perorations of such campaigner Since the op- portunity offers itself let Democracy in this state present for its candidate a young man, a man who has his eye and heart centered on the things that appeal to those who are against the ofo reactlonaries of Republicanism. Let Democracy give this state for it's candidate for Governor Irving Fisher He measures up.
