WILSON'S LONE HAND

Henry Watterson writes in the Courier-Journal of the controversy between the President and Senator Chamberlain:
 "f cannot help thinking it the off, spring of certain isolation which, in his private relations with public men, the president too much indulges. The plaint comes from Washington that he neither gives, nor receives, confi- dences. Perhaps this is why he seems prone to quarrels, nor averse on oc- casion to falling out with his friends.
 Senator Chamberlain has surely been one of these. He is of the presi- dents party. He is, moreover, chair man of the military committee of the senate. His New York deliverance may have been imprudent, but it was not an attack upon the administra- tion to be hotly resented and it was wholly within his right. A chieftain more patient and tactful-may I not

say wiser-would not have made a curt stand-and-deliver demand upon such a senator. Indeed, he would not have written at all-the matter too urgent and important-but would have sent for MT. Chamberlain, have heard him, have communed with him, have prayed with him. He might gent ly and affectionately have "cussed' him, that particular form of friendly pressure being sometimes most ef- fectual. An angry controversy be- tween such persons at this time is clearly to give aid and comfort to the enemy, and if the president and sen- ator were mere private citizens the two of them might regard themselves lucky to escape indictment under the espionage act.
 We are going to win the war. New CT a uuibble about that. To believe otherwise is to believe the world is coming to an end. Truly, otherwise it were not worth living in. Yet we may not win it "fust off, and "hands down." and if it be prolonged, par lous times are ahead for Woodrow Wilson. It were meanwhile well for him to prepare for them. He will need all the help he can get. The pro- posed war cabinet may be premature. But if he should defeat it now and 1t becomes necessary later along he makes in advance an uncomfortable bed for his administration to lie in. Nothing short of victory this year will save him and the party that calls itself Democracy the coming fall el- ections, and, with an opposition house, and maybe a hostile senate, the war still going on in 1920, good by to the succession"

We have observed that large ma jority of the men who traverse our residential streets in this time of snow and ice wear overshoes of some kind and that the large majority of women do not.

HooverIxed Country ereaLfast.

Excerpt from the Hooverized foo, experience of the man who edits the Missouri Notes'' column in the Kan sas City Times:
 "The friends who entertained u. warned us that they were living yer. frugally and proved the assertion at every meal. For example. for break fast one morning we had nothing but cereal and real cream, homemade sausage, fried potato cakes, stewed fruit, hot biscuit, two kinds of pre- serves and coffee. The menu for the next morning. as announced the night before, was nothing but waffles. and that's all they had. with the exception of bacon and eggs and few little side dishes. We mortified our hostess that morning by eating only 29 waffles. Our allotment was 37, and she said 1t wa unpatriotic not to clean the platter"

VA LDE EZ

,T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ is situated at the head of
 = Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, glue factory, a tin can factory and box shook factory. all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com pany, which also owns splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors chance for sites. VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States. Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their outfitting port, and drawing from it's reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -15 in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 Fhours running time, over a line road, through the most magnifi- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings
 a minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros- pecting can do SO at our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.

Vienna, Aug. "A wedding with

ALIEN CASE BATTLES
AUTHORITIES PUZZLED OVER
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
AGAINST BISCHOFF.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 2.-What may
be done to William Bischoff, an alien
enemy and not registered, who was
recently arrested at Aberdeen, is
problematical. According to the
story of the man he was born in
Hamburg, Germany, in 1885, and
came to this country when he was 6
years old, accompanied by his uncle,
William Bischoff.
He further said that his uncle took
him to a desolate spot, among the
rocky hills. some distance north of
San Francisco, where the elder Bisch-
off engaged In smuggling goods over
from the Chinese shore.
1t appears. according to the mans
story. that on several occasions under
cover of dark nights a stranger made
his way to their hut and loaded up
the two mules with the Chinese
struggled goods. Bischoff further
asserts that he attempted several
times to speak to the man. but his
uncle prevented it.
In 1906 he ran away and ever
since has been roaming the country
with no definite object in mind. He
worked here and there and in time
when war was declared and the reg
istration of alien enemies was requir-
ed he failed to register.

There are scores of people who

fering. Day after day they are rack

weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-

blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys. as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
