Washington, May 16.-President Will
son made public tonight the strictly
confidential" confession that he made
TO the members of the National Press
Club here last night. It was the
Presidents second appearance at the
club, Of which he is a member, and
TO which President Taft was a frequent
visitor, and, as on the first occasion,
three years ago, he spoke rather
freely, and then, being pressed, con-
sented to the publication of his re-
marks.
From the reasons why America
should keep out of the war, and how,
TO his profound intellectual con-
tempt" for reactionary politicians, the
address was an intimate revelation Of
the human side Of the Chief Executive.
The President told of the difficulty Of
estimating popular sentiment. of know

Referring TO international questions,
he explained that it was often neces-

has an imperfect moral understanding,
to knock him down for the sake OF his
soul. II man will not listen to you

PENROSE WINS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Senator's Candidates Vic
torious Over Those Gov.
Brumbaugh Backs.

Philadelphia, May 16.-Early returns
from the sixty-three counties OF Penn
sylvania tonight indicated that the
candidates backed by United States
Senator Penrose have been elected. al
though by small majority. A. Mitchell
Palmer, candidate for national commit
teeman, the recognized Wilson leader
in this state, has easily defeated
Michael Liebel, of Erie, the latter be-
ing backed by the "old guard" Demo
Gratis. Joseph Mclaughlin, of Philadel..
phia, president of the national body OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and
Isador Sobel. of Erie, eX-president OF
the B'nai Birth, the leading Jewish
organization of the country. both PEN
rose candidates for Congressmen-at-
large, go along with the Penrose VIC
tory, according TO present indications.
Daniel F. Lafean, of York, one OF the
present incumbents Of the office. and
John R. X. Scott, of Philadelphia, are
the defeated candidates, both being
backed by the Vare-Brumbaugh fac
ton. II was only a week ago that or
ders were sent out from the Ware head
quarters which gave permission for all
Philadelphians 10 vote for Sobel. La
fean's action on the literacy test for
immigrants bill was given as the cause
of opposition to him here.
Senator Penrose at his headquarters
here tonight insisted that the people
had defeated more than three-tourths
of the national delegate candidates
backed by the Brumbaugh-Vsre comoi-
nation and that Mclaughlin and Sooei
were easy victors. This was pointed
out as a direct slap at the Brumbaugh
administration and decreases notably
the Governors chances Of being placed
in nomination for President by the en-
tire Pennsylvania body.
Governor Brumbaugh will be one OF
the delegates-at-large TO the Kepuolie-
an National Convention, notwltnstano-
ing the defeat of his ticket. All through
the state he received large vote.
The Democrats of the State saw to II
that the Wilson administration was
upheld by their voting to-day. IL was
a bitter fight that was waged oy tne
"old guard headed by B. Gordon Brom-
lev. OF Philadelphia, against A. Mitch
eli Palmer. of Stroudsburg. The hght-
ing forces of the "reorganized Demo
crsts" were headed by Roland Morris.

spent two days with the county agent
this week working out method of coun-
ty organization to be followed in Orange
county. Tuesday the executive commit
tee of the county association met at
South Royalton and talked this question
over The decision was to change from
the township unit to that of community
units and instead of having town dele
gates to act as advisory council to have
community committees. the chairmen OF
which would form the advisory council.
This will localize the work and make 1t
more efficient, as so many of our towns
are split into widely differing communl-
ties. While definite action cannot be
taken until our next annual meeting IN
August, it is hoped to get many OF the
communities organized with committees
before that time.
It was also voted by the executive
committee that the projects Tor 1hls
coming year should be limited in number
aud more attention paid to these rather
than try to cover so many subjects. The
four main projects viii be; ~ Dairying,
t2l legumes, 81 farm records, A. local
organza ton. The details of these pro-
jects will be given later. Each member
Of the executive committee is to have
charge Of the planning of one or more of
these projects. President L. O. Bicknell
viii have charge OF the dairy project,
Secretary F. H. Wilcox will have charge
Of the legume project, Treasurer G. c.

ton project Suggestions regarding the
work to be taken up under these projects
are welcomed by the executive commit
tee and the county agent.

busy all day Sunday seeing not only
politicians but prominent business men
and manufacturers in view of the new
combination, TO facilitate which all MIN

their designations.
In the meantime. according to The
Matin. the reorganization of the higher
command in the army, being an essen

be settled until after the new govern
ment makes its bow in the Chamber OF
Deputies today and is Endorsed by
vote of confidence.
"In addition to forming war council

mier BRAND has decided in the interest
OF the economic organization of the conn

chine into the melting pot and oblige all
ministerial departments, hitherto con

in line with the rest OF the country,
which is freely spending its blood and
gold.

with prominent men on Saturday and
Sunday, Premier BRAND announced that
he intended to give a free hand to the
ministers, under secretaries, and diree-
tors forming part of the new ministry,
"The most absolute powers viii be
granted to them. and if it is found that
the methods meet resistance, or that

USE OF COAL QUADRUPLED.
Pittsburg District Has Consumed $50,
100000 Tons This Year.

Pittsburg. Dee FIFTY million tons
of coal. or four times the normal amount,
have been consumed in the Pittsburg dis
trict in 1916 according TO an estimate
made by coal men here yesterday. This
represents an increase of more than =
900, 900 tons over the preceding year.
The consumption in 1917 is expected to
be even greater. The labor situation Is
being viewed with alarm by number OF
coal producers. On account OF the car
shortage many mines are running but
four hours day. Miners, attracted by
more lucrative employment are entering
other fields of work.
Pittsburg coal men estimate the short
age in the northwest at s,OO0,000 tons
and say that only prompt work by the
railroads will prevent coal famine IN
that region.

that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
readily be brought back to health and
strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics. Bright's disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble
