WHAT OF TIE PEOPLE.

In all political parties the self
constituted ssleaders" are cast!
ing around to determine who
they" will select to make the
race for president and vice pres
ident of the United States at the
next election.
Senator, This and That and
Congressman So and So and
Boss Somebody Else are getting
their heads together in an effort
to hit upon some likely per-
son who will be acceptable to
'sthem," and at the same time
hoping and praying that the po-
litical lightning may strike him
self.
The people: Pooh! They don't
count. All they are expected
or allowed to do is to trail along
to the polls and vote as they are
told to do. They are not sup
posed to think. because they are
not credited by the leaders and
bosses with possessing any
brains, to say nothing of rights.
When the s:great ones" of the
parties set their seal of APPROX
|al or disapproval upon this man
or that man, do they first go to
the people of their districts and
ascertain who THEY want for
president?
Not a bit of it!
For what do the people
know of politics? Whatdo they
know Of men and of the affairs
of State. Who are they that
they should even presume to
have a voice in the selection of
a standard bearer for a great po
litical party.
At least. so reason the great
and the mighty"
But some day there will come
"a change: Some day the man
Eof the people will come into his
own, and the great" and the
|"elect'' will bow down to his
wishes and crawl for his favor.
Some day this country will be
a nation of the people and will
be governed by the people, and
their will be a law unto itself.
Speed the day when the peo-
|ple are something more than
just "the people. !"

HARMONIOUS CONVENTION OF
 NEW YoRW STATE DEMOCRATS
Is Predicted at Syracuse Next Week.
 States Made Up

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 20.-Democratic leaders of the New York legislature predict a harmonious convention at Syracuse next week when the demo- crats of the state meet for the purpose of naming the candidates for delegates at large to the St. Louis convention.
 The programme as it stands today calls for the selection of former Gov ernor Martin H. Flynn, both as tenn porary and permanent chairman, the nomination of the Big Four for the national convention and as much of an endorsement of the Wilson administra- ton as the supporters of the president desire. Outspoken sentiment on the part of Tammany Hall leaders to with hold unqualified endorsement of Presi- dent Wilson pending the announcement of the pame of the next postmaster of New York has virtually vanished.
 Those most prominently mentioned for delegates at large include United States Senator O'Gorman. Edgar NJ. Cullen, former chief justice of the court of appeals; William Church Osborn, chairman of the state committee; George J. Meyer of Buffalo, a promi- nent German-American supporter of President Wilson; Charles E. Treman of Ithaca, former superintendent of public works; Seymour Van Santvoort of Troy, N. r., chairman of the state public service commission and legal advisor to the governor during the administration of John A. Dix and Former Governor Glynn and Norman E. Mack of Buffalo also have been mentioned, but if MT. Glynn is made chairman of the convention it is be- lieved he will not be named as a dele gate.

SHIPWREcKED MEN
 NARROWED YEAR AND HALF
On an Island Off the West Coast of
 South America.

Jacksonville, H.. Feb. 19.-A letter mailed at Honolulu, Feb. 3, was re- ceived here from Homer T. Madisan of White Hall, H., relating how with a number of others he was marooned for nearly year and a half on an island off the west coast of South America. after leaving the British steamer Bella Donna, which was sunk by a Ger man cruiser in September, 1914
 The letter which was received by his grandmother, Mrs. Rebecca Madison, said:
 For the last year and a half I have been on a little island in the South Sea, where no ships ever stop.
 'I was on the English ship Bella Donna, when a year ago last Septem- Der we were stopped off the west coast of South America by a German crui- ser. They forced us to go in our small boats and then sank our ship. The day after We ran into a pretty stiff gale and were blown away south. We brought up on a small island among a group of several. There were a few friendly natives there and one white man. We were there until about 40 days ago when a small sailing vessel put in for water, having been blown off her course. We then came here.
 We had a nice comfortable time while marooned, but of course we all were glad to get away"

JEAN GROVES, FUGITIVE
 CHEF, TAUNTS POLICE.
PenciIIed Note Dropped in Letter Box
 at Grand Central Station.

New York. Geb. 2O.-A pencilled note, purporting to have been writ ten and dropped without envelope or stamp in a mail box at the Grand Central station here last night by Jean Crones, the fugitive chef. accused of having attempted to poison the guests at a dinner in honor of Archbishop Mundelein in Chicago, was received by the police today. The note said Crones was sorry to be obliged to safety's sake" but added: You're really not clever at all. Your detec- tives are looking for me and no one can catch me"
 The missive, addressed to the Chief of Police, New York" said also that tion at 11.30 o'clock last night and concluded with the sentence: Thanks for your kindness
 It was midnight when the note was received at the post office. As it was without envelope or stamp. it at tracted the attention of a clerk, who read it at once and turned it over to an inspector who communicated with the police.
 Although the Grand Central station had been under surveillance several days. the police there declare they had not seen Crones or any one resembling him. They said. however. they had no doubt that Crones was the author of the note.
 Crores has written several letters to local nS~spaperS since escaping from Chicago, but this was the first communication the police had receiv- ed direct. Extra precautions were taken today to guard RoPan Catho- lie churches. The police also are keeping close watch on all avenues of communication leaving the city in the hope of tl1warting amp plan of CrOneS to leave here.

The Russian army which captured Erzerum, in Armenia, is endeavoring to cut off the retreat of the Turks, who are retiring with a smuch speed as possible Dispatches from Petrograd report the capture of the towns of Much and Achlat, to the south, heavy fighting preceding the taking of the towns by storm. The next objective army is Diarbekr, which lies within striking distance of the Bagdad rail- way. This line would open up the road for the Russians into Syria.
 Along the Black Sea coast Russian warships are pounding at the Turkish batteries and harassing the retreat ing troops. The northern wing of the Russian army has captured the town of W1dje and is driving the Turks back in the direction of Gumish Kha- neh, which is on the road to Trebi- zond, while large Russian forces are moving westward from Erezrum with the object of cutting off these Turkish troops before they can reach new line of defence.
 The Germans have been operating vigorously against the British and French along the Yser Canal in Bel giurn north of Ypres. From the British $50 metres of a position was captured and held, despite hand gre made attacks to recapture it. After a heavy bombardment the Germans at tempted to cross the canal and occu- py French position and several of them did succeed in making their way to a first line trench. The French, however, immediately drove them back.
 The British south of Loos in a live ly engagement succeeded in making an advance to the edge of a mine crat- CT held by the Germans.
 The French in Champagne, between the Mouse and Moselle rivers and west of the Forest of Apremont have bombarded successfully German po- sitions, while in the Argonne forest a mine exploded by the French shattered d the German works.
 Only isolated engagements have taken place on the Russian front. On the Austro- Italian line the artillery duels continue.
 Continuing their advance in Albania, the Austro-Hungarians report the capture near Bazar-Sjak, a short dis ance northeast of Durazzo. of an ad- vanced Iatlian position. This is the first indication that the Italians were operating so far north in Albania, the belief having prevailed that their ac- tivtties had been confined to the local ity adjacent to Avlona.
 That progress is being made by the Teutonic allies in the direction of Av- Iona seemingly is shown by the report that the Albanians who are fighting with them have occupied the town of Berat, situated about 31 miles north eas of AVlona.
 Unofficial advices from Saloniki are to the effect that a Bulgarian patrol which crossed the Greek frontier near Doiran was repelled by Greek troops and forced to retire.

Action on the nomination has been held up pending the presidents Mexi- can report. Now that the report has been received, whether satisfactory to the republicans or not, democratic leaders are determined to press for confirmation. It is believed he will be confirmed.
 The Haitien Treaty.
 Other important matters to occupy attention of the senate branch during the week will be the Haitien treaty. a resolution to direct congressional in- Vesugation into charges of inefficiency of the army aviation service, continual tion of the inquiry into the fitness of Louis D. Brandeis for the supreme court, water power legislation and fur ther inquiry into the alleged efforts of American interests to monopolize the sisal output in Yucatan.
 Preparedness Programme,
 In both houses the preparedness pro- gramme will be urged on in commit tees which are framing the army and navy bills. There is general satisfac- tion among administration leaders over the progress which is being made and the apparent disappearance of earlier opposition to the necessity for a req sonable plan of national defense.
 Repeal of Free Sugar Clause.
 The Kitchin resolution to repeal the free sugar clause of the Underwood Simmons tariff law may be reached late this week in the house. Consider ation of it has been postponed until Thursday at least in order that repre- sentative Fordney of Michigan, the ranking republican member of the ways and means committee, who is at his home, may be present when debate opens. ---..----.'-- Ten democrats already have notified | Majority Leader Kitchin that they will not be bound by the caucus decision to support the measure when a vote is l taken. Other democrats may join the "insurgent' ranks, it Is said. As yet no attempt has been made by. the op- position to perfect an organization and it is probable that they will do no more than speak and vote against it individually. Majority leaders aver that adoption of the resolution in the house is assured.
