Commerce, Thursday afternoon, be-
lieves that the United States Is az

terms Of European nationalism. In
the Hotel Poptchartrain, shortly
after his arrival in Detroit from
New York, he reviewed some OF the
political issues now building on the
struggle abroad, issues which, he
says. have no place in American
politics. These so-called issues are
going to have no bearing on the
national political contest Of 1915,

Gen. du Pont now is squarely be-

he severed all connections with the

acquainted as through the easy pro-
cesses of every day news"
Secretary Lansing said: 1.-THE ar
rangem ent made between the United
Press of this country and La Nacion,
one of the great journals of South
America for the exchange Of news, is
most gratifying proof Of the increased
demand for more intimate knowledge
of one another which is so prevalent
today in all the American republics.
It evidences the success of the Pan
American movement to which the
government of the United States is so
earnestly devoted. A wider acquaint-
anceship between the sister republics
of the western hemisphere will do
much to foster the friendship and
mutual interest which found express
sion in the spirit animating the Sec
ond Pan-American scientific congress
which met in Washington last win
ter. There can be no doubt Of the
benefits to be derived from this inter
change of knowledge and those whose
enterprise has increased the facili-
ties for such interchange are render
ing valuable pGclic service to the
peoples of North and South America"

the accident taking place two miles
west of Argyle at SIS a. m.
According to the version of the ac-
cident given by the two brakemen,
with whom Mr.. Griswold was work
ing, the work train of which he had
charge, had switched onto the east
bound mainline preparatory to dump
ing carload of rock. The train had
hardly stopped when he alighted from
the side of the car and was struck
by an extra train consisting of an
engine and caboose. The place
where the accident took place Is on
down hill grade and naturally the
train was travelling at a high rate of
speed The cylinder on the south
side of the engine struck Mr. Griswold
above the hip and knocked him to the
ground and rolled him over three or
four times before it tossed him aside.
The entire affair took place in the
sight of the rear brakeman, G. Dorell,
who had called to him that the train
was coming, but too late. Together
with the head brakeman. J. p. Chris
ty. Brakeman Dorell rushed to his
aid, but he was beyond human assist
ance, a fracture of the skull just
above and between the eyes, having
killed him Instantly.

Only Hotel Mans Dream.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Liquors
VIII not come back into Iowa by way
OF the cafe or hotel. The open saloon
would be much more acceptable to the
average 1owan than the cafe saloon.
The cafe bars Of the east have proved
to be in many respects the worst of
the liquor establishments. Even in
the days of the saloon, Iowa never
took kindly to the hotel and cafe bar
and the serving Of meals or even
bites" in all places where liquors
were sold was forbidden, and that for
good reasons. A hotel man may dream
such dream, and those who have Ill.
terror purposes to serve may hold such
an idea up to scare the timid, but no
one of any sense puts any faith in the
proposition.
