last Monday, Mr.. Burgess Sharp
from West Lafayette college also
gave a short talk. Rev. DR.. Conant,
who has been in charge of evangelis-
tic meetings at the Baptist church,
concluded the morning program with
very interesting and instructive talk
which could not help but be benefic-
ial to anyone that heard it.
Among our number at chapel last
Monday morning were Misses Mildred
Bishop, Edna Severns, Gertrude Lor-
ey, Marsh, Messrs. Allen Sapp and
Marsh. Miss Marsh and Mr. Marsh
were from Sistersville, w. Va, and
were visiting with Miss Ila Williams
member of our local high school
faculty.
Last Thursday morning. the
physics classes of Mt. Vernon high
school took a trip to the Cooper foun-
dry. This trip was taken in connec-
tion with their regular work. 1t was
very beneficial in every way and a
great deal was learned which could
not be got in any other way except
by just such a trip. The classes are
very grateful for the privilege of 60
ing through the shops and also for
the many kind courtesies and expla-
nations shown and given them by the
employees and officers of the plant.
The Juniors, much to their delight,
have finished reading Websters Bun
ker Hill Address and Washington's
Farewell Address.

at a debate between East high and
Delaware high.
The books for the Fifth ward
school have arrived and have been
turned over to that school. These
books are not supplementary books
for school work, but are just books
for those to read who SO desire. They
are all good books and are meant for
the students to read. They can be
drawn out by the pupils, read and re-
turned, just as is done in any library.
The books are of the best and 1t be-
hooves all who have access to this Ii
brary to take advantage of it.

Col. Roosevelt Will Quit
Politics His Friends Saw

New York, Nov. 6.-It will be Grand
father Roosevelt-not Colonel or eX-
President.
With his wind-up speech at Bridge
port, Conn, Saturday night, when he
denounced the Adamson eight hour law
and President Wilson, Colonel Roose-
welt is through, in SO far as active par
ticipation in politics is concerned. At
least that is what close friends of the
Colonel have said he told them, and he
has himself said in his campaign
speeches in twenty States that he
wants nothing more than to return
to the job of being a grandfather of
purely domestic habits.
Roosevelt will have covered between
5000 and 10000 miles from New York
to Phoenix, Arz, with thrusts into
Michigan, Pennsylvania. Ohio and Con-
necticut and return here during his
four or five weeks of campaigning to
defeat President Wilson.
| Now the Colonel will devote him
self to- fighting-as a private citizen
for preparedness and universal mill
tary training, and for "a healthier fu-
sion of the United States into strong
er nation"

one of the few Southern Republicans
in Congress. While making no claims
for the State, the Republicans assert
that they will increase their represen-
tation in the lower National House to
three.
Selling the opportunity offered by
Democratic party strife in Florida, the
Republicans have made an unusually
vigorous campaign in favor of their
State ticket headed by George w. AL

ceded that the electoral vote will be
Democratic and that a Democratic

leaders believe that one of the largest

manner

Mr.. Hughes, las the enemy of abuses

me, growing tide of sentiment in this

either peace or prosperity.
There will be no lasting peace IL
the Nations honor is not maintained
There is no lasting security unless
American rights are fearlessly main
tanned throughout the world. Our
peace depends on the confidence and
esteem which we secure and hold by
justice, firmness by courtesy and by
the manifestation of that courageous
and indomitable spirit which gave us
our country and preserved the integ-
rity of our country. THAT is not the
path to war; that is the way to MAIN

be rights If they are not enforced. 1t
is not that we should have policy of
aggression; it is not that should make
a braggart assertion of our claims;
that we should go through the world

Tennessee, North Carolina and Flori-

local issues and a few contests for

Wilson, Reused, Attacks
Old Jersey Enemies

Long Branch, N. j., Nov. 6.-Pres
dent Wilson made the final speech of
his campaign at Shadow Lawn Satur-
day afternoon. In one of the most Bit
ing attacks he has made on his oppon-
ents, he declared that they had
fallen back in a last resort to the pro-
tective tariff as an issue and charged
Republican manufacturers with at
tempting to coerce their laborers.
The President also assailed the Re-
publican leaders for attempting to
make party capital out of unsettled
questions of foreign policy. Although
he gave no intimation that he refer
red to any particular man, the audi
ence showed manifestly by it's applause
that it had in mind Colonel Roose-
velts attack on the President in

Election Not in Doubt
Says Hughes Chairman

New York, Nov. GA positive claim
of victory next Tuesday was made by
Chairman Wilcox, of the Republican
national convention. in an informal
statement Chairman Wilcox said
THE result of to-morrow's election
is not in doubt. nor is 1t matter of
uncertainty. 1t is not a question of
rival claims. This fight has been won
for the ticket of the reunited Republi-
can party.
After receiving reports from most
of the States throughout the country 1t
Is the unanimous belief of the members
of the national campaign committee
that Mr.. Hughes will have at least 100
majority in the electoral college, and
doubtless that majority will be very
much larger.

ents are concerned, these eXtravagant
claims are the invariable accompani-
ment of the Democrats in presidential

Henry Jane. and Literature

The death of Henry James will very likely
receive more attention in America because of
his recent act of expatriation than for any Of
his extensive contributions to published litera-
ture. His chief characteristic as a writer was
in his avoidance OF the common forms of fic-
tion course which brought to him the devo-
tion Of a small group OF followers, but shut him
out from the masses. 1t is not TO his discredit
in the least that he eschewed the "best SELLER
type Of novel. for in that he lifted himself above
cheapness; II was his adherence to personal
views, seldom understood, that gave him a dis
tinction in literature and whatever OF vogue he
achieved. Hailed by his cult as the greatest OF
modern novelists, his works are little read out
side Of narrow circle OF cognoscenti, yet have
value in that the student of the future will
find in them much OF detail Of the life OF James
day deemed inconsequential by his contempo-
raries.
II was Henry James renuncafion OF Amer
lean citizenship that got him most attention, al
though II was generally commented on with
moro OF indifference than as a matter OF real
moment He had lived In England for many
years, holding there whatever OF popularity
came to him as a writer. and when the war
broke out he became naturalized as a British
subject, seeking thereby to show his adherence
to the British formula Of democracy rather
than a recantation OF American ideas. This
one action fairly illustrates the life OF the man
who would not strive for popularity at the ex-
pense of his convictions, a firmness OF char
acter that will more nearly hold for him the
regard OF the public than anything he ever
wrote.

republic, the western end known as Haiti, has
been the scene Of unending disturbance, in

LOOMS. Neb.. Feb. 29.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: There Is an American farm
problem. II Is not. as is sometimes as
serted. the task 0f increasing the fertil-
ity. OF the soil. forests and other natural
resources. Neither is it the problem of
making country life more easy and COM
Portable. though this in a degree is de-
sirable. These are all constituents. but
not the real problem. The most serious
condition Of the present country life is
the silent but startling migration Of tho
rural population toward the towns and
cities
The problem OF keeping the youth of
the present generation on the farm and
preparing them for country life in It's
fullest and richest sense is an issue of
fundamental Importance to our national
welfare. BY this It is not implied that
all the children born on the farm should
stay there. Few fallacies could be more
wasteful and destructive of human ef-
ficioncy than this. In this age of spe-
cialsts country children should be al
lowed TO enter the so-called trades and
professions" IL so inclined. Yet at the
same time adequate care must be given
those who remain on the land. II we
are to maintain an efficient class of citi-
zens in our rural communities and desir-
able averages in our national life.
One factor largely responsible for the
tremendous migration from the rural
community to the town and city is the
school. With proper supervision and in
charge of teachers deeply in sympathy
with country life, II may be rejuvenated
and enlivened. Interest may be created
by the school that will tend to lead back
to the farm and not away from It.
When country schools become efficient
centers of learning, instructing children
I'm terms of country life and pointing the
way to community prosperity and coun-
try welfare, moving to town will de-
crease among farmers and the farm
problem" will be near solution.
The greatest single need for improve
ment Of country life at the present time.
therefore, is a corps of teachers prop
erly prepared, who will enter the pres
ent rural schools and, through vitalized
teaching an dtactful social leadership,
convert them into living centers for the
instruction of children and the upbuild-
ing OF community and country life.
The well trained country school
teacher needs a deep, appreciative in
sight into the problems of country life,
and an exalted faith in country children,
the innate beauty Of country life, and its
final triumph. L. E. PETERSON.

WAR DOGS OF THE SEA.

Perrin Holmes Lowrey in Leslie's.
The bulldog battleships are chained
AT anchor, kenneled in the bay;
The swift, sleek cruisers doZe and dream.
Lank, supple-sinewed, graceful, gray;
The restless beagle gunboats go
From point to point and sniff the sea
Torpedo boats lie long and low
The watch dogs of our liberty
The wireless purrs approaching doom!
The pack awakes. The beagles leap.
The slender cruisers race the gloom;
The bulldogs plunge along the deep:
The mastiff dreadnaughts breast the
wind.
The scent is caught. The quarry flees
The ranging dogs In hot pursuit.
In eager anger, hunt the seas.
Their searchlight eyes descry the game
Their savage voices tear the night
froth Of fury flecks the main
The pathway of the running fight
The baying thunder of the guns,
The tangled growls, the brutal bark
OF all the dogs of war are heard
Across the distance and the dark!
The painting pack limps home at last
Along a star-filled, silent sea,
Their huge hearts throbbing proudly past
Their wet flanks grim with victory!
The carcasses OF mangled prey
Are stripped and CHASTITY, flung afar
A great flag stiffens In the wind
Defended by the dogs of war!
