Andrew o. White

Andrew d. White was a man of varied
activities. He achieved celebrity in many
fields Primarily, he was an educator
and scholar. But he found time for
public service, and his eminent qualifica-
tions for such service added distinction
10 American public life.
Mr.. White was diplomatist in the real
sense of that word. He knew history
and international law. He had the intel
ectual background for success in this
difficult profession and he also had the
solid foundation of technical experience
in it. He was the last of generation of
American diplomats of the old school.
He would have been out of place in the
new school of business and dollar di-
plomacy.
His experience in foreign relations ran
back to his youth. During part of the
Crimean War he was an attache of the
American Legation at ST. Petersburg.
He had also been student in Berlin and
Paris before our own Civil War. He was
professor of history in the University
of Michigan, and after he became presi-
dent of Cornell University (Which he
helped to found) he continued to lecture
on history and political science.
1t was with foundation of this sort
that he reentered the higher grades of
the diplomatic service. He spent two
years in Berlin as minister, two years in
st. Petersburg as minister and five years
in Berlin as ambassador, He was
member of the Venezuela British Guiana
Boundary Line Commission in 1886 and
chairman of the American delegation to
the Hague Peace Conference in 1899.
Mr.. White did as much as any one else
to lift American diplomacy out of the
rut of dilettanteism and patronage into
which it fell after the Civil War. He
was literary man. But he was more
than literary representative of the
American government. He had the
knowledge, qualifications and trend of
mind which minister or ambassador
ought to have. He was true publicist
grounded in the PHILOSOPHERS out Of which
the law of nations was constructed
In these critical days men of his weight
and distinction in tire conduct Of foreign
relations are sadly missed.
As aU,educator Mr.. White ranked with
the foxasnost of his time. Cornell Is his
monument~-a splendid monument to his

these cases, and the authorities therein
cited, and especially to the able discus
sion of Judge Hough on pages 572, 3,
and 5 of the first report, 224 Fed. 565,
supra, attention is especially drawn.
1t cannot be said that the defendant
has no interest in the prices at which it's
goods shall be sold. On the contrary, it
had vital interest, in so far as cutting
the same would tend to demoralize the
trade and might have been more injuri-
ously affected by the result of this dis
organization than the public would be
benefited by temporary reduction in the
prices of its products.
The successful prosecution of the de-
PENDANTS business, and the continued use
of its soap by the public, depend upon It's
ability to find and maintain a market
for its output, Price cutting would al
most inevitably result in reducing the
defendants business in given commu-
nity to only those engaged in that prac-
tice, and deprive it of the patronage of
the great body of wholesalers and retail
ers engaged in what they believed to be
a fair and legitimate conduct of their
business 1t by no means follows that, in
the end, the public would be benefited, as
the price cutter could easily raise prices
after the decentralization caused by his
conduct had been brought about, and
profit individually by so doing. What the
public is interested in is that only rea-
aonable and fair prices shall be charged
for what it buys, and it is not claimed
that the defendants manner of conduct
ing its business has otherwise resulted.
1t will be seen that Judge Waddill
energetically supports the clear headed
argument Of Judge Hough in the much
cited case of Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company agt Cream of Wheat Company.
That argument was based on what should
obviously be the determining factor in all
such government regulation, the good
of the public. The practices of Colgate
& Co. were clearly in the interest of Che
purchasing public. They could by no
possibility tend either to increase prices
or injure reputable, honest dealers.
They could and did injure only those cut
price, dishonest retailers, who are
menace to all fair and stable and
economical service of the public.
If the Attorney Generals office still
has any notion that it's amazing conten-
tion is good law, we hope it will appeal
from this decision promptly. But we
conceive that for the general business
of the country the question has been
determined once and for all and beyond
the possibility of reversal either by the
courts or Congress. Fair play in mar
keting has won another definite and de-
cisive victory

CIR: A word to reason:

Slh: A word to reason:
If you believe, after scrutinizing the Pres
ident's appointments to office, that he
has sought out the best and most eff
cient men, irrespective of their party
a.hhations, then show your approval of
his impartiality by voting the Democratic
ticket.
1T you believe that the personal prestige
OF the President, at home and abroad, is
paramount, no matter to what kind of
peace he may commit the nation, then
vote the Democratic ticket.
If you believe that no system of checks
and balances affecting the policy of the
present Administration is at all neces-
sary and that to doubt the infallibility
OF the President would imperil the high
est interests of the country, then vote
the Democratic ticket
If you believe that the Presidents will
should be the prevailing win and that
what is required just now is a body of
men in Congress who shall do the Presi-
dents bidding and ask no questions, then
vote the Democratic ticket.
IF you believe that Mr. Wilson was right
when he scotfed at the nations demand
to prepare for this war, and when he de-
nounced the men who voiced the wishes
OF the people as lot of hysterical and
perverse fanatics, then see to it that you
vote the Democratic ticket.
IFA having been driven at the eleventh hour
by the conscience of the nation to take
sides with those who have been fighting
for human liberty and for the very life
OF Christian civilization, you think that
his tardy and reluctant yielding to the
pressure entities him now to a control
ling voice at the peace table, then vote
the Democratic ticket.
lF you believe that the only man in this
country who can be trusted to determine
Its policy is the man who csbled con-
gratulatlons to the Kaiser, who was cele-
brating the day by butchering the Bel
CLANS; if you bclieve that the proper
thing Tor the President of this great and
proud nation to have done when the
Lusltania was sunk, was tu write notes
OF remonstrance to the Kaiser, and
construct an epigram which he hoped
would restrain the righteous wrath of
the American people; if you believe that
the man whose only interest in the out
come of the conflict being waged in
Europe was for a long time purely
academic, and who declared that the war
was no concern of ours, and that when
ever peace came it must be a peace
without victory; if you believe that this
man has become so infallible that the

My Dear Mr.. President :

My Dear Mr.. Presidents
TIME papers contain your appeal asking
people to support you by voting only
for Democrats at the coming election,
SO you may be "unembarrassed by Repub-
licans whose loyalty you question You ad-
dress, "My Fellow Countrymen." which
take it includes me, though l am q woman
and | take it on myself TO speak for my
husband and my son. who are both wearing

To show that ours is not paper patri-
otism l give these simple facts:

ties and nurses, to the government
My son volunteered, and has been for
months in the big drive in France
My husband was a surgeon with an ex-
tensive practice. He was past the draft
age. But when the call came he gladly gave
up his business, and is now on his way to
France in charge of base hospital
When the Liberty Loan campaign was on
he directed me to buy all the bonds his
credit would stand, and we subscribed cheer
fully and literally to the Red Cross and
Y. NJ. c. A.
To make sure my husband and son might
be "unembarrassed" in fighting for our
country, gave up my house and am living
at my hospital, which, incidentally, has fur
nished for service eight of its staff and
more than twenty nurses
Do you think, Mr.. President, it is no sac
ritice for woman to give up her home and
all that is near and dear to her?
Can you be surprised, then, that I am
dumb with astonishment at your letter,
which would have me believe that it is dis
graceful and disloyal to vote for Repub-
lican?
If my husband and my son are good
enough patriots to fight the battles of their
country and risk their lives for us who stay
at home, would they, if one were a candi-
date for Congress, be less patriotic and
less to be trusted because they are Repub-
icans?
II L lived in state where | could vote

would embarrass you if | voted for nv hus

in France?
lnasmuch as the men l most love are
hghtlng at the front, do you wonder that
am disturbed by your appeal? Is it strange
that want to know what is the matter with
them-that | want to know if they are not
100 per cent for Uncle Sam?
thought you asked US little while ago
to forget politics and think only of winning
the war. How then do you now ask us to
forget what you then said, and follow your
orders in politics?
In all candor, Mr.. President, ! ask you, are
you playing fair?

Suspense

Last night the State Department an
nounced that the Allies and the United
States had agreed upon the terms Of
and that diplomatic unity had been
achieved under conditions of complete
harmony !
Beyond this, it was intimated, accord
ing to The Associated Press news dis
patch from Washington
Q) That a clew to the nature OF the
terms would be found in the text of the
Austro- Hungarian capitulations already
published, and
(2) That if the terms were accepted
oy Germany they would mean surrender
ard the immediate end of the war, with
The final peace conditions to be dictated
by the victors.
That is all we know. 1t is all we are
likely to know until after the close of the
polls to-day.
We have no doubt that the Demo
cratic party will make enthusiastic use
of the slogan thus happily supplied in
the eleventh hour: 'lie got us out Of
war"
We wish not to seem gratuitously
lacking in appreciation of this immi-
nent achievement-if it be, in fact, i'm
minent. We marvel greatly at the obe-
dience of events, and we hope the opti-
mistic Interpretation of the State De-
partment's announcement is warranted,
for in that case the Allies and the
United States have agreed to demand
the unconditional surrender of Ger
many, not as an act preliminary TO a
discussion of peace on the basis Of Mr..
Wilson'S fourteen points, but as an
unprovisional confession of military de-
feat, to be followed by dictated peace.
For that we should be indebted more
to our Allies than tc ourselves.
We should like to know what has be-
come of the fourteen points. Perhaps
the last German note to the American
government, received on Wednesday
and still unpublished, would throw some
light on the subject. Open diplomacy
has also its days of dimness and mo-
ments of suspense.

Chut Bashore

Cnut BaSnOre
"Chut" Bashore lived the most of his
life around saloons. He was the son of
Madam Sarah Bashore, who lived in a
green shuttered house across the rail-
road tracks. Madam Bashore never
came to town except in closed cab
"Chut" was professional gambler
and always wore a white vest and
wide hat. He was mild hammered ex-
cept when he took to drink, which was
once year. Then everybody avoided
him. When in his cups the only person
who could do anything with him was
the Rev. Alva Gee, the Baptist preacher.
One night "Chut" got in row over
seven-up game in Andy Archman's with
crowd of miners from Pomeroy Bend
who came down on Saturday night
spree He welded a poker over the
heads of two and was standing the rest
at bay They sent Doc Parker's black
boy, Dan Hogan, after the parson, and
he came with his nightshirt tucked into
his trousers.
The crowd fell back and the parson
stuck his head through the swinging
doors and called "Chut!"
"Chut" looked up and walked meekly
out and up to the postoffice corner with
the preacher, and neither said word.
When Evangelist Moody visited back
home "Chut" was the first man in town
to sign the pledge, and then he hired out
on Squire Mauck's farm, up near Addi-
son. When the Carlton mine caved in
"Chut" ran all the way to Gallipolis, five
miles, after rescuers.
Back home they are waiting for "Chut"
to break the pledge "It can't last"
they say DOM.

Six Children Killed in
Alabama SchoolhouSe

DoTHAN, Ala, Jan 12.-Six children
were killed and forty others were more
or less seriously injured, many probably
fatally, when a schoolhouse two miles
east Of here was struck by the storm
that passed over Alabama late Friday
afternoon
At wabb. Ala, a railroad town ter
miles northeast of here, one man was in
stantly killed when his store was blown
down, and over seventy others were in
tured, many of them seriously.
A number of small settlements IN this
SECTION were completely destroyed. II
is believed that the death list In this
neighborhood will reach ten or twelve
as the reports so far are very meager
on account Of the cutting Of the com
munication-
At Webb practically every house was
blown away and late last night a search
Tor the bodies of missing persons was
being made. 1t is feared that the dealt
list will be heavy in the country sur
rounding this town. A call for aid was
sent to Dothan and every available ply
sician was rushed to the scene in auto
mobiles Many Of the homeless people
have been brought to this city and fur
nished shelter
In Dothan proper comparatively little
damage was done. One child was blown
over three hundred yards, but escaped
with slight bruises.
All telephone wires in the path of the
storm are down and the only news o!
the extent of the damage is being
brought in by those whose homes wetC
destroyed and who are coming into
Dothan in search of assistance.
At Cowart, a small town seven miles
south of here, seven persons were killed
and about twenty-five injured by the
s4s<m-
