ing OF the case. Judge Boyce desired

HISTORY GETS ANOTHER JOLT
Now II 10 Asserted That Elias Howe
Was Net the Inventor of the Sew
ing Machine.

History and the school books tell
us, and we have all believed 1t, that
Elias Howe invented the sewing ma
chine. Many pictures have been
drawn of the poor inventor, with his
model under his arm. going from one
capitalist to another. trying to inter-
est them.
Now comes documentary evidence,
which is introduced to prove that
Howe did not invent 1t, but that IL was
devised by Frank II. Goulding, In the
thirties, while he was a student In the
State University Of Georgia. He was
a restless, energetic young man, who
always was experimenting with ma
chimes to tighten labor, 1t is explained.
He invented and built simple lock-
stitch mechanism, turned by hand,
that sewed ten times as fast as by
hand. Goulding showed 1t to every
one and talked about 1t. Among those
who saw it was Elias Howe, who had
gone from the North to winter in
Georgia. Now 1t is asserted that Howe
took the idea back with him the fol-
lowing spring and patented 1t, and
went down in history as the inventor
Of 1t.
If the story is true, It affords still
more evidence to the general opin-
ion that nature rarely endows a man
with inventive genius and sound busl-
ness judgment at the same time.

Wilson. Memory Detective.

President Wilson allowed his en-
thusiasm for the new banking law to
get the better Of his memory when he
attributed to 1t In his speech at De-
troit the credit for saving this country
from financial embarrassments at the
outbreak Of the European war. The
federal reserve system did not go into
operation till some three months after
the war was in full swing. The action
that prevented stringency was taken
under the Aldrich-vreeland emergency
currency law. 1t might be added that
the germ of the new banking and cur
rency law which the president looks
upon with pride as an achievement of
his own administration was In the Al
drich banking and currency measure,
which when first proposed was beaten
largely by Democratic votes.

Hughes Words Have Weight.

Mr.. Hughes Is making his campaign
In urgence of thorough preparation for
national trial, preparation which
will not overlook details and will not
ignore the weak places.
A strong nation cannot have its re-
sources dissipated to please congress
sional districts or its offices filled to
reward deserving Democrats" 1t
cannot have its diplomatic service
broken down by political exigency. 1t
cannot have Its tariff protection erect
ed by men who do not believe In a
tariff, or its military protection given
by men who do not believe In an army
or navy. 1t cannot have Its industries
regulated by men who do not believe
In industries.
II the American voter Is willing to
think at all, he will be given plenty to
think about before Mr.. Hughes Is
through with his campaign. And the
next few years of American history
will be affected as the voter thinks
now.

Going Barefoot.

We suppose there are many mothers
who object seriously to their children
going barefoot in the summer, and
they would be shocked, probably, to
see their daughters capering around
without shoes. 1t is the fashion now
to wear shoes all the year round, but
the boys, as well as the girls, do not
know the pleasure of being next to
nature during the heated term, so far
as their feet are concerned. There Is
no question but what foot should be
allowed to develop normally, and
that 1t should not be cramped or
crowded into shoe, when going with
out one would be Of untold advantage
to the foot's future prospects. Boys
who went barefoot In summer a quar-
ter Of century ago do not have to
soak their feet in salt water, or boric
acid or other medical compounds every
night, and the American boy who
wants good, sound feet--feet that win
be worth something in years to come
will do well to follow the old-fash-
Toned Yankee custom Of going bare
foot.-Hartford Courant.

Only Way to Avert Disaster.

The most obvious present duty Is to
make sure that the American market
shall be held by Americans; that Is the
defensive. The next is to organize for
the foreign trade war; that is the Of
fensive. BY judicious laws the gov
eminent can use the domestic market
as leverage for opening foreign mar
kets, 20 that Americans may be able
to fight their commercial battles on
even terms with their competitors. By
law the government can provide that
Americans shall compete among them
selves at home, but stand united In
competing with foreigners abroad.
That is what foreign governments are
doing. and that Is what the United
States must do II this country Is to go
through the coming trade war without
disaster.

TRIBUTE TO HUGHES
LABoR's STRONG ENDORSEMENT
OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
High Praise for Just and Wise legis-
Iation That He Secured During
His Term as Chief Executive
Of New York.

When Governor Hughes ended his
executive and accepted an appoint
ment upon the bench of the Supreme
court, the official organ of organized
labor in New York paid him tribute
which Is more significant than any
political promises and professions. 1t
dealt with the record made by a man
who believed that he was retiring
permanently from political Office and
political life. This Is the testimony
given in October, 1910, regarding the
service which Charles f. Hughes had
rendered labor during the three years
and nine months Of his very independ-
ent and masterful period of executive
leadership In his own commonwealth !:
"Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can be acknowl-
edged, without hurting anybOdy's pO-
litical cOrns, that he was the greatest
friend of labor that ever occupied the
governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed SO labor
laws, including among them the best
labor laws ever enacted in this or any
other state. He also urged the en-
actment of labor laws in his messages
to the legislature, even going so far
as to place the demand for labor
law in one Of his messages to an extra
session of the Legislature.
"Only 49, labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its cree
ton, In 1777-in 1876 years. One-third
Of these, exceeding in quality all 9TH
ers, have been enacted and signed
during Governor Hughes term of
three years and nine months"
There Is no denying the Importance
Of TINT record. 1t stands as proof of
the attitude and feeling of the Repub-
lican candidate for president 1t out
weighs all partisan assertions and de-
feats all attacks.-Cleveland Leader.

NEW YORK SAFE FOR HUGHES
Chairman Mccormick 10 in the Posi-,
tion of One Whistling to Keep
Up His Courage.

Chairman Mccormick of the Demo
cratic national committee has sent
forth the very previous prediction
that President Wilson will carry New
York. Chairman Mccormick was ex-
pected to do this. He Is there for that
purpose. If he were unable or I'M
willing to make such a prediction
his job for a week. 1t would be
turned over to some man better
versed In the business of chasing the
political rainbow, to some man who
could and would predict that Wilson
would carry any and every old state
that was brought up for discussion.
Chairman Mccormick was not wise.
He made his prediction too early in
the game. After he had gotten 1t out
Of his system, one Of the Democratic
leaders of the Empire state quietly in
formed the chairman that his party
was In very ragged shape and that 1t
would take heap of the hardest kind
Of missionary work to whip 1t into any
kind of fighting form. This sobered
the chairman and he looked as II he
were sorry the prediction had escaped
from his lips, but he could not take 1t
back and expect to keep his job.
No, Chairman Mccormick, President
Wilson Is not going to carry New
York or come anywhere near carrying
it. Mr.. Hughes has carried 1t before
and will carry 1t again. He will also
carry enough other states to make him
the next president >of the United
States.

will recall wildly what harvest meant
to you, for you had to carry water.
and harvest hands were thirsty set,
nor did they seem to care how far
1t was to the spring. or how badly
chapped your feet.
When not carrying water you were
busy gathering sheaves, which was
about the hardest work in sight, or at
least you thought 1t was.
When dinner came you would be 50
hungry that there did not seem to be
enough on the table to satisfy you, to
say nothing of the hungry bunch. In
this you would be somewhat disap-
pointed, for there was always enough
for all.

which the men would sprawl out in

In the greatest comfort. And maybe
you would have found a good place
