Mr. Wilson is right to hate monopolies, but
it is a matter of question, from his own state
men. of the case, whether he really could say in
SPECIFIC cases just when business is monopoly
and when not. AS for cooperation, has there
ever been any one in the White House who re-
lied less upon this? No, Mr.. Wilson is not of
monopolistic mold for he never shares with
others under any form of compact-he is an
lndividualist and this is very different also from
being sincere supporter of eo-operation-Balti-

 Will the common people ct the warning countries submit willingly to be made paupers while working under the highest pressure?
 Will they submit to condition j which make half the populat l work day and night in order to keep the other halt busy in destroyi1o all the wealth that is produced? In short will they continue to pay the price Of the war?

CLEVELAND, O.. Jan. 30. (De- layed) ).-ln speech delivered here last night. President Wilson pro pounded his national preparedness plan 10 crowd of several thou sand people. The President was in good voice. md that his remarks were greatly appreciated by the larger part Of his audience was evi- denCed by the applause which from time to time interrupted the speaker
 The President came here care fully guarded. He alishted from his private car in a suburb and was taken through the back streets ot the city in an automobile to his hotel, while a curious crowd waited at the depot in anticipation Of his coming. He leaves tonight for Mill waukee. where he will speak Mon day evening"
 President Wilson spoke more eravely and more forcibly in the ad- uitSS tlldu Ut HdS III any of his other speeches. For the first time in any of his talks he men toned the navy and the coast de. lenses of the country The former, he said, is not second among the navies of the world. as is generally thought, but fourth. The coast de lenses, he said, are excellent, bus would be entirely inadequate in the event that the United States was attacked by ships of foreign nation.
 Continuing, the President said that he has no doubt but that the people of the United States, generally speak ing, are not afraid of foreign at tack He also said that he Is not in any personal fear and that he despises aggressive use of power above almost anything else. How ever, the people are depending upon him to keep peace and also to keep the honor and integrity of the na- tion unstained. And 1t may be im- possible to do both.

STOP GOSSlpiNG.

When will the person not con cerned quit prying into the affairs of others?
 When will there be such ban put on baneful gossip that it will forever be crushed?
 When shall we make laws so that the idle gossiper will properly get behind the bars where he or she belongs, and where the bitter tongues will go unheeded?
 If it were possible to sum 1t all up, the largest per cent of human sufferings would be traced to the malignant methods used by the crea- ture who lives on gossip; who for gets to cleanse his own soul in at tacking the purity of another.
 As a general thing. in many cases, punishment comes, even If late, The evil word, like a bullet, cannot be recalled, but times without number 1t rebounds and hits the sender. Yet, when 1t does not, there is one big remedy left to society against the gossiper-a remedy that cannot fail. If every person would elimi- nate the gossiper from his list of acQuaintances. the gossiper would soon find he was wasting his deadly arrows on the desert air. and his aim would therefore be defeated.
 When one comes to you to Hhia' per evil of another, remember that if this trait is in his makeup. to- morrow he may do the same thing with you as a victim. If you turn a deaf ear to him and decry his soul-killing wares, you help break the back of his traffic. This should not only be the desire but the duty of everybody who hopes for fair treatment for himself from his neigh. bors and from the world at large.
 Break it up wherever you lind it, Let the gossiper realize he is working on fruitless ground. Make him understand that you see through him and show him how ignoble he Is in your eyes. If each person would take this bit of responsibility in the protection of his brother and sister humans, the world would be much better place to live in. anl many an unnecessary pain would be prevented.
 A little of the old Chinese adage goes a long way: See not, hear not. speak not, evil of anyone"

 The evidence showed that the two men have been working in the drif, of Sullivan & Olson, on Ester creek Dupont was the lead man." or pacemaker for the rest of the whee'- barrow crew He either went too fast for Sabana or else took some of the latter's dirt instead of pick ing gravel for himself, for the trou- ble started in the drift.

The President also said that the Old World disturbance must be kept from the western hemisphere at any cost. To do this. he stated. does not necessitate an army of fighting men, but an army ready to fight for national honor, which is dearer than peace brought at the price of its downfall
 In closing his remarks. the Pres- dent stated that he regrets that this is campaign year. He ex- pressed the fear that politics will cloud the issues which he stands for and which, in his opinion, are best for the country, which is one of the reasons why he has taken the stump himself in defense of his national preparedness program

 MILWAUKEE, Feb. 1.-President Wilson last night threw down the gauntlet to the opponents of the national preparedness program. To those who have urged that the pre- paredness and defense plans are fathered by the makers of the mu- nitions of war and armor, and to those who have charged the chief executive with being influenced by the manufacturers, he said that their argument was the height of incOn- sistency, in that he was in favor of government ownership of the intuition plants. He urged his hear CTS not to believe that he was urg- ing the preparedness because of the desires of the munition trusts.
