I remembered the sentence and the
reading of it well enough, though time
has not stood idle since that Septem-
Der evening of the year 1892. From
the point of view of Bradford, my
uncle might be right; but what did
he know, l argued, of the higher ideal
which l had chosen preferring the de
velopment of my artistic sense to the
mere accumulation of money that l
could not spend? Where was his JOY
of life-he who spent his days in the
whirr of wheels and the fog of many
chimneys? How could it compare with
mine in the accent peace of the eight

cient abbey at Westminster? l looked
around me at the delicate tapestries
that I had brought from Florence
to my London rooms; at the glowing

artistic study in Paris; at the Dres-

merely the daubs of wealthy anna

room in sulky depression, and had
picked up an art paper, when there
came a tapping at the door, and the
grizzled head of old Jacob Hendry
came peering in. A perfect servant
was old Hendry, once sergeant of IN
fantry, and now a combination of
cook, valet, and housemaid, who kept
my rooms in spotless order, grilled
steak to a turn, was fair hand with
needle, and spent his spare time In
producing the most inartistic wood

that filth, immortality, and crime exist

WILSON'S IGNoBLE, UNsUc-
CESSFUL LITTLE WARS.

President Wilson tok Vera
Cruz in 1914, as we were official
ly informed at the time, to get
a salute for the flag, and to
prevent the, shipment of arms
So into Mexico. He did not get his
salute. He did not prevent the
shipment Of arms. But several
hundred men were killed or
wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achiev-
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
In 1916, as we were informed
at the time, to get Villa dead
or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
Again President Wilson Is bring
Ing the army home without
achieving his object. OF course
II ls a mere play upon words
to say that these were not
wars" They were wars, and
nothing else; ignobIe, pointIess,
unsuccessful little wars; but
wars. They cost millions OF dol
lars and hundreds Of lives,
squandered to no purpose; they
accomplished nothing; but they
were wars.-From the speech Of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, deliv-
cred at Lewiston, Maine, In be-

Editorial Comments.

The Democrats continue to ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do Is to sputter and gasp.
Let 1t be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out TO
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready to speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he Is utter
ly Indifferent as to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains a good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.
Help me, Cassius, or / sink" For
"Cassius'' read Congress"
The notion seems to be that the
Democratic national chairman is claim
ing more than he will get, but not any
more than he will need.
As further evidence that he is warm
hearted and intensely human, Mr..
Hughes likes apple pie.
No man is going to be elected-or
re-elected-to high Office by votes
gained from States rights declara-
tons this late in the game. The
States rights question was settled
some fifty years ago to the. evident
satisfaction of considerable major
ity.-Kansas City Star. ...
adequate preparedness is not MILL
tarism. It is the essential assurance
Of security. 1t Is necessary safe
guard of peace" Candidate Hughes
has left nothing to be said on this
subject. He has snuffed out counter
argument at the very outset.
"Are we Americans a nation of
bunglers?' asks the New York Sun.
1t would be very harsh to answer
this in the affirmative-and, anyway,
we elect Democratic president only
every once in while.
Charles e. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the men
in charge Of the chariot of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms Of sea-sickness from the way in
which the ex-justice of the Supreme
court has shaken them up. Mr..
Hughes Is pursuing the only proper
method, which is first to take the
deadwood out of the way so that the
path to righteous and propitious gov
eminent may be made clear.

THE NEUTRALITY
OF PONTlUS PLATE.

But as soon as the need for
deeds arose, Mr.. Wilson forgot
all about "the principle he held
dear" He promptly announced
that we should be neutral in
fact as we'll as in name, in thought
as well as in action" between
the small, weak, unoffending ma
ton and the large, strong nation
which was robbing it of it's SOW
ereignty and independence. Such
neutrality has been compared to
the neutrality Of Pontius PLATE.
This is unjust to Pontius PLATE,
who at least gently urged mod

dore Roosevelt, delivered at
