The duchess of Kent after her

children by the prince of Leiningen
to England with her and brought
them up together with the little
Princess Victoria, the future Brit
ish queen. The latter had never
known her father, the duke Of
Kent. who had died when she was
a mere baby, and perhaps this had
had something to do with the ten
brother and sister all through her
life The fact remains that when
the Princess Fedora was married

she often proved of great help TO

He had one son who married

What People Say

gagged in laying out the itineraries of

paign, is full Of arguments why speak
ers should be anxious to fill these en-
gagemerts. He says:
Every really prominent man
that Marion county has developed
has been obliging when it came to
requests for public speaking. Gov
ernor Pierpont, Governor Fleming,
John W. Mason, Judge Raymond,
clear down the line, one will find
that the men who have establish
ed themselves in the history Of the
county have been men anxious at
all times to fill speaking engage
ments." "
Col. Fleming insists that every. man
in public life should participate in
these campaigns, that 1t should not be
confined to lawyers, ministers and
school teachers by any means. He
makes 8. point which is interesting in
this connection:
1.-THE physicians would make
very effective speakers in the Red
Cross campaigns for no one can
emphasize more the ned of such
care that the Red Cross affords
than the medical men who can
speak Of conditions authoritative.

This the kind of statesman that the Democrats have

their organs talk about Standing by the President" as
though that in every respect amounted to the same thing
standing by the government and abuse Republicans who
cannot do that on every measure that comes before Con-

began; since the first of the present year, the most violent
attack that made upon the administration and the gen
sral conduct of the war was made by this proGerman
Nebraskan who is now entrusted with some of the most
Important responsibilities of the government.
The thing is blow right in the face Of every loyal
American citizen matter what his politics. 1t is the
most Astonishing result of the operation of thoroughly
Vicious political system that has occurred in years. By
what right can any Democratic spokesman or newspaper
demand that any stand by the President and the gov

the conduct of the war or the relations of hs country IN

with the situation in such way that the ndefensibe system
