 The letter states that the reelection of Woodrow Wilson in 1916 was "a calamity from which our country will not recover for years" and contiues.
 "For- those who are opposed to his un-American policies to pursue at this time any course that will tend to bring about in 1920 reelection of Woodrow Wilson or the election of some men who believe in the continuance of such policies is unpatriotic and short-sight- ed. It should be the first duty of all patriotic and liberal minded citizens to prevent the adoption of such Q course. If ever again the republican party is to be intrusted with govern ment, it must make haste to offer to the people of the country a construc- tive, forward-loo1ing program that will gain their confidence

Says Pile Remedy
 Worth $1O0.00 a Box

I have had itching piles ever since my earliest recollection. I am 53 years old and have suffered terribly. I have tried many remedies and doctors, but no cure. About 8 weeks ago I saw your ad for Petersons Ointment. The first application stopped all itching, and in three days all soreness. I have only used one 25c box and consider I am cured, not feeling any return of the trouble for 6 weeks. You have my grateful, heartfelt thanks, and may everyone that has this trouble see this and give your ointment that is worth a hundred dollars or more a box, trial Sincerely yours, A.

PERKINS AND COLBY
 ASK i. O.P. MEETING
Former ProgreSsiVes in Drive
 Against Old Guard

New York, Feb. 1.-George W. Per- kins and Everett Colby, who protested against the action of the executive committee of the Republican National committee in electing John T. Adams of Iowa vice chairman of the national committee, sent a letter yesterday to Chairman William R. Wilcox formally requesting that a meeting of the na- tional committee be called to take up the matter. The letter follows in part: "A majority of the men in control of the republican executive committee are out of tune with modern thought They are opposed to a liberalized re- publican party. These men evidently think that progressives, through the action of their national committee in Chicago last June, deliberately aban- doned the principles for which they had fought for four years and formal ly returned to the republican party They are entirely mistaken. The ac- tion of a large majority of the pro- gressive national committee was that they should, purely from patriotic mo- tives, place their country above any party; and the vote was one of instruc- tion to the partys executive committee to do everything it could to elect Mr. Hughes.
 Reactionists Take Charge.
 The Progressives, of course, knew that the moment MT. Hughes failed of election the most reactionary elements in the republican organization would endeavor to assert themselves. This feeling was wholly justified by the arbitrary action of certain remb bers of the executive committee two weeks ago. The republican party today, from the point of view of being returned to power, is in worse position than it was after the break in 1912. It is in a more hopeless position than was the democratic party in 1896, at which lime the party entered on a period of sixteen years as the minority party of the country. Under the present thor oughly reactionary dominion of a half dozen men the republican party has drifted away from it's original moor ings, from it's great ideals and broad usefulness to the people of the coun- try as a whole. It's only hope of again becoming a useful agency to the people lies in bringing it back as promptly as possible to the principles of Abra- nam Lincoln adapted to the needs of he present day. We are confident hat in this feeling we not only voice the sentiment of the progressives, who regard themselves as genuine repub- licans, but we voice the sentiments of the rank and file of the republican

 To these we extend our thanks One of the blight spots in the monot- ony of our annual report is the re- membrance of those who have shown a helpful interest in our work. The library is hampered in it's efficiency by lack of room. A new book case and several new shelves have been recently put in which has helped temporarily. We are dreaming dreams of sometime somewhere" a more adequate building and resources sufficient to maintain the work on a higher basis but meantime we are striving in some degree to make up for our lack of equipment and system by the cordial welcome we give to all whatever the age, station, creed or nationality. Everyone is truly welcome to come and share the things the library has to offer and the more general the response the happier are those in charge.

VASE PUZZLES SCIENTISTS

The st. Louis Art museum recently
announced the possession of a poly
chrome earthen vessel of unique de-
sign which remains a mystery to
Psychologists. | was found among
the ruins of the ancient city of
Quirigua, Guatemala, during the ex-
cavations of 1912, and since then has
provoked a great deal of discussion
as to the origin and purpose. The
vessel is described as seven inches in
height, with CONSTRUCTED band around
the rim, doubtless intended to accom-
modate a cover, and it's futed body
swells below into dubious base
which is slightly concave beneath. The
paste is moderately soft, light gray
in color, and the surface is finished
with slip or wash of light salmon
hue carefully rubbed down with a
polishing implement" But the odd
feature of the vessel is the human
face moulded on the front of it. 1t
is a type of face totally unlike that
of the aborigines who inhabited this
region and psychologists are, there
fore, puzzled concerning the history Of
this relic. How did an aboriginal
American potter happen to model 9
face of the type seen only in the Ole
World? So far the question has nev
er been answered.

PARTISANS FIRST,
LAST AND ALWAYS

From the New Republic.
Certain members of the United
States senate continue to behave even
in time of war as if they We're parti-
sans first, last and siways. They
continue to insist upon treating all ap-
pointments to the federal service as
the reward for party service.
The press reports, for instance,
that Senator overman has request
ed the president to withdraw the name
Of Mr.. Lester H. Woolsey, nominated
as solicitor of the state department
The senator's request is primarily
based on the suspicion that Mr. Wool
sey is Republican in politics. Incl
dentally it is suggested that he has
not the necessary legal qualifications.
The president, it is reported, has no
titled the senator that he will not
withdraw Mr.. Woolsey's name.
This is as it should be. Mr.. Wool
sey has served the state department
long and faithfully. He is familiar
with the complicated negotiations Of
the past three years. The country
needs men of his qualifications in the
department of state and in the diplo-
matte service.
For senator's to block the appoint
ment of such men on political grounds
is as inexcusable as it would be to
demand that the army and navy &c
without ammunition unless such sup
plies are purchased from persons reg
ularly enrolled in the Democratic par

Scotland is glad America came in.
Edinburgh proved it today to group

The newspapermen stopping in
Scotland's capital en- route to the
British cruiser fleet, received well
come that could scarcely have been

President Wilson and Andrew Car

for awhile but the meaning became
clear in time. Scotland has been
greatly thrilled by the action of the

for a real celebration.
This accounted for the bringing
forth of the American flag. 1t ac-

the Lord Provost of Edinburgh pre-
siding and the Lord Chief of Justice
of Scotland speaking and every dig

hold, occupying place at the table.

the city magistrates on the question
of whether the dinner should be wet

ACTIVITIES IN CAVE BASIN.

Operations on the Mary Murphy
mine in Cave Basin have been resum-
ed after a close down OF few weeks
duration. At 200-foot level the rich
ore vein is expected to be encopnter-
ed, after the tunnel in which the work
is being done is driven another 20
feet. Then the ore can be gotten
out rapidly. The ore from this chute
taken from less than so feet under the
surface has returned smelter val
