There is but one governmental agency,
tional instrument through and by which the United
States can wage for the next two and a half
years, and that is the administration which was
placed4in power at the last national election.
ANY weakening of the influence and prestige OF
the administration is weakening of the political
power influence of this nation with other nations
"a weakening of our power.
Our soldiers will fight bravely and efficiently,
sailors brave the dangers of the summarized
with the same courage and success But the political
and moral strength of the nations government, its
power to bring peace by fighting men, will
be weakened by the defeat of the party of the admin
istraton-
AS Roosevelt said 1898. other nations will look
votes this year from only viewpoint. They
will draw no fine distinctions. To Europe the cleo
ton of republican congress this year would mean
a divided nation. refusal to endorse and stand
by the principles President Wilson has proclaimed

With Other Editors
Support the President.

The United States, by virtue of its manifested
greatness and power, occupies the commanding place
in theworid today Never before was it so respected
and admired for its power and might and never be-
fore has commanded the confidence and hope of
the world by of its stand for freedom and
justice and right
President Wilson has commanding political
and moral influence in the world outside of those
nations with which We are at war. and even among
their peoples there are millions who look to him
for deliverance from war and famine and from on
preston and misgovernment
1t can have other effect than to hurt and les
sen President Wilson'S prestige and influence with
the foreign world for his party to meet defeat this
fall 1t cannot but weaken his power for good for
victory and peace should his party be repudated at
the polls by the American people
How greatly democratic defeat be used by his
enemies, who the enemies of the United States.
and the enemies of soldiers in France and the
enemies of peace and freedom everywhere to discount
his ability to accomplish that which all free people
wish accomplished. How powerfully can his partys
defeat De used to disparage and beIittle his own
standing and influence in his nation and how
convincing they make it appear to their own
people and others that the people of the United
States do not approve Of do not stand for and will
not carry out those principles which President
Wilson has made the cardinal principles for which
we and our allies fight which he has made the pas
sion and hope of Belgium and France and servia and
the war-worn peoples Of all Europe
1t matters not how well we at home may under
stand that the nation stands by the president regard
less of the result Of the congressional election Our
politics this is not national affair." but inter
national, worldwide, of tremendous interest to all
nations, and of supreme and vital importance to our
allies, Russia and the oppressed nationalities of
Austria, TO the people of all Europe
In the true analysis there is bat one way fully
to support country and soldiers at this time
and that is by full and unreserved support of the
president The election Of a republican congress
would be construed by a large portion of the world
and particularly by those whom the presidents
influence is most important, a reputation of him
and of the principles he has made the principles of
the free peoples of the world No qualified support

Dies, Accident ResuIt-By a queer
trick of fate, Roy Sturm, 1915 West
Sixth street, died at a local hOspi-
tai yesterday morning following an
accident similar to one in which his
brother, Louis Sturm, lost his right
limb about three years ago. The
dead man was struck by a crane
while at work in the Bettendorf
shops last Monday. His left leg
was almost severed between the
knee and the ankle, and he was
badly bruised and torn. He was
brought to a hospital here, and ply
sicians found it necessary to am
putate the injured limb. He died
yesterday morning.

The runaway occurred at Fifth and
Harrison streets The horse ran
west on Fifth TO Marquette, and
north on Marquette to Eighth

by a man whose name was not

although the wagon several times
came near to overturning.

THE TRACKLESS TRAIL.

Out on the cold Atlantic
The bold Tuscania rides,
While watres swishing at her keel
And glistening at her sides,
Sing out Old Oceans lul!abies
At every knots advance,
For the boys a-sail
On the trackless trail
To the fighting fields of France.
without one note of warning,
Death settles on the scene,
AS bursting bombs, from out the
dark.
Steal from a submarine
A mighty lunge, a muffied groan -
And, left to tickle chance,
Are the boys a-sail
On the tracklesS trail
To the fighting fields Of France.
No nobIer lives have perished-
The graves ne'er claimed a guest
More loyal to the stars and stripes
Than those went down to rest.
The manhood OF America
Is pleading for a chance,
Like the boys, to sail
Ger the tTackless trail
To the fighting fields of France.

To allay any fear that may exist in certain quar-
ters that Clyde H. Tavenner may be a candidate for
congress this fall because certain Democrats voted
for him at the primaries, it may be said that Mr..
Tavenner is not, and will not be in the field this
year in the district He gave notice some months
ago. that he would not be candidate and it was
in good faith. Since then, the Democrats in this
congressional district have Endorsed Congressman
Graham, and the program will go through And
Mr.. Graham need not stay home from Europe

must travel over the same weary
route that so many other misguided
lungers have travelled before him.

intestinal disturbances.
Tuberculin sometimes seems to
be helpful in early cases Of tuber-

culosis, as in a tuberculosis SAM

not advisable in advanced cases of

Company X receiving barrack, and
We have good officers, captains and

, Company B, room Z, main building,
bed 375. The home consists of
about six hundred and forty acres
of park. We have fine living and
a fine home. We have all lady
walters in the dining room.
Last Sunday l took a long walk
to a large stone quarry and big
concrete viaduct which is a great
sight I have not been to see the
lake yet I went to take my bath
on Tuesday morning and met Mike
Burke of Millersburg. He was
playing Annie Laurie on his violin.
! had TO stop and shake my foot a
little before l went by.
The main building is 200 feet
wide, 400 feet long and five stories
high. I have one flight Of stairs
to go down to my meals. 1t is the
largest building in camp. 1t surely
is a nice home for the soldiers.
Well this is all for this time.
