the brainiest men of the state to

It will be a great honor to be a
member of this Convention, and I feel
that I should not refuse your call to
me, and my name will be on the bal
lot, and if the democratic voters of
this Congressional District want me
to serve them, they can say so at the
primary election on April IA, 1917,
and whatever ability 1 have will be
at their service.

"a little Pape's Diapepsin to help neu-

Millions of men and women today

If your stomach doesn't take care OF

sin, which costs only fifty cents for a
large case at drug stores. It's truly

TRUST THE PRESIDENT.

The Graphic yester lay received !,
telegram signed by the American De-
tense society, the American Rights
league, and the Mems National service
league. This telegram reads:
will you aid patriotic work of
maintaining American rights by urg-
ing your readers to wire president
and congressman, asking positive
stand for war with Germany to pre-
nerve national safety and honor. Pro
Germans and pacificists straining
every nerve for peace at any price.
Appeals thru your paper in this crisis
will be invaluable"
Having complete confidence in
President Wilson to preserve nation
III safety and honor" The Graphic is
perfectly willing to trust him in this
crisis, and does not propose to advise
its readers to urge positive stand
for war with Germany"
The Graphic does not believe the
people desire war; neither does it
believe the people desire peace at any
price. The people want only Ameri-
can rights respected, and American
lives and property protected. If it is
necessary to go to wa: to secure
these rights, the American people viii
stand together and fight to the last
man and to the last dollar, but they
hope that actual warfare can be
avoided without surrender of Amer;-
can rights or blemish on the nations
honor.
AS to the necessity for war to pro-
tect American rights, the people seem
disposed to permit President Wilson
to decide and ready to support him
Ia whatever course he adopts.
The Graphic will not urge "stan.l
for war" but suggests instead tha5
kilograms be sent the president in
fDrming him that he will have the
support of the people, and to con-
gfessmen and senator's urging then,
- stand by President Wilson in this
frying situation.
About the best way to avoid war.
ne think, is to impress upon the
World that the nation neither seeks
10r fears war. but is united in the
determination to back up any stand
II tdopted by President Wilson.

a revolt might be expected in Greece
al almost any time ami that it would
spell the doom of King Constantine
and the alignment of Greece on th1
side of the allies.
There isn't the slightest doubt tn Il
such q program would induce the al

brought upon Greece such as has
come to few neutral nations, but the
king and his faction have beet
obdurate and have been able to honl
the upper hand.
A new revolution Ill Greece prob
ably would mean the enc of monarch

total income, and is not fooled by
the amount of the wages for sim
gle day or single week. The
thrifty, skilled mechanic, whose
days wage be six dollars, does not
set his spending ability at two
thousand dollars year. He fig
ures on the rainy days, sickness,
accident or lack of work. 1t is
thrift that gives us the good sense
to know the uselessness and even
the danger of some of the things
we now want.
Thrift in the home is family
preparedness, the enemy of misery
and the conservator of ambition"
It is related of the founder of
Guys hospital, England, that a
visitor called one day for dona-
ton for charity and found him en-
gagged in an alteration with his SER
want about a few 1ucifer matches.
The visitor had little hope of a
response to his appeal. To his as
tonishnent, however, Thomas Guy.
headed his list with a large bene-
faction, and, observing his visitors
astonishment, explained that it
was only his carefulness in small
things that enabled him to help
others without stint.
This man, who protested against
such a trifling waste was the same
who built and endowed the hos
pital at Southwark, England, which
bears his name, erected aims
houses at Tamworth, furnished
wards in St. Thomas hospital,
Christ's hospital and assisted many
other charities.
