No Uniform For Wilson
President states His Views About Title of Com
mander- mischief. a u.s. .-s

President St@tes His Views About Title of Com
manders mischief. u rs ..s
From The New York Tribune
address President Wilson commander in chief
Of the army and navy. But that is as far as you
can go and keep entirely in accord with the
Presidents ideas of the fitness of things.
AS for putting him in uniform to fit the title
don't. The reason is made clear in letter which
President Wilson wrote recently to Bernhard
WALL artist, who made etching showing
him in the full regalia Of his constitutional rank.
Bruno's Bohemia, a Washington Square publ
cation prints the letter in its August ISSUE This
is what the President says:
L warmly and sincerely appreciate the senti-
ment which led you to make the etching Of which
you were kind enough to send me a copy, but
feel bound in replying to your letter. to say that
there Is a sense in which putting in uniform
violates a very fundamental principle Of our in
situations, namely that the military power is sub
ordinate to the civil.
THE trainers of the constitution of course
realized that the President would seldom be
soldier, and their idea in making him the COM
mander-in-chief OF the army ana navy of the
United States was that the armed forces of the
country must be the instruments Of the authority
by which policy determined. 1t is for that
reason that we can truly say that our organi-
Zation is in no sense and can in no sense be mill
taristic.
Il do not think this is a mere formal scruple on
my part. believe it goes to the root of things
and am sure may thus candidly express 1t to
you without creating the impression that do not
fully appreciate the motive and the idea of your
etching, by which am very much complncnted"

"GOLD-BRICKED".

One of the biggest "gold bricks" in his
tory was sold the German government by
it's propagandists.
Americans were aWestruck when the
evidence Of the far-reaching nature of
German secret activities began to accumu-
late, but if results are the test, Germany
herself was the victim.
America was but one field of activity.
George Sylvester Viereck has testified that
more than $50,0O0,00O was expended here,
and Germany has nothing to show for it..
new adherents to the German cause, but
those influences which might have been
counted upon to remain firm supporters Of
Germany have dropped away from her I'M
til virtually none remain. For example,
The New York Stats Zeitung, one Of the
most influential German newspapers in
America, in a recent issue, balanced the
books in an article entitled Germany
Debit and Credit" It showed what Ger
many had won and lost by the war to date.
After calling attention to the victories re-
corded by the war map, the article showed
that Germany had sacrificed the flower of
her manhood, had lost her colonies, had
ruined her domestic commerce, had
brought the German name into disrepute
throughout the civilized world, and had
approached close to the verge Of bank
ruptcy. This from The Stats Zeitung!
And on the other side Of the world, we
may recall, there was to be a great "Holy
War" of Mohammedan against Christian,
which would destroy British India. In
stead Of the holy war, we find both Mo-
hammedans and Hindus loyalty fighting on
the side of the Allies The holy war was
about as successful as the revolution of
Communications.

MIR. MAXWELL, o'DTsCovERER"


Rev. Mr.. Maxwell, former lecturer for
the Nonpartisan league, who now is pub
fishing his confessions" in The st. Paul
ttDispatch, has discovered" that the league
lis an autocracy.
Why; bless his heart, that's what the
s'Kept Press" at which he used to rant has
been telling him for two years.
He has discovered" that the store
scheme is a. great money grabbing enter
prise for Mr.. sTownley.
The Forum told that months ago when it
published Farmer Ingle's story.
He has discovered" that Mr.. Townley
claims to own the league; that it is simply
D device Of the league leaders to Put
over" Socialism that the new life mem
Iberships for 5000 will be the biggest money
grabbing scheme of all.
To put it in one sentence, he has discov-
cred that the so-caHed kept press" has
been telling the truth for two years.
But he writes convincingly and enter
fainingly, and his revelations may be a
substantial contribution to the cause of
truth and may hasten the day when the
farmers of the Northwest will realize that
the so-ca1led kept press which some of
them have quite generously maligned, has
been fighting their battles for them when
the road to easy profits lay in drifting with
the current. .~..r

Judge Amidon, in passing sentence on
the pastor of a German state church, sum-
med up the whole foreign language prob
lem so far as America is concerned, in the
foregoing sentence.
Foreign languages are permissible in
America as temporary eXpedlents, but not
as permanent institutions.
Too frequently in this country, it has
been the case that the use of foreign Ian
/ puages was continued, not for the pur-
pose Of educating their users in American
ism, but for the purpose Of keeping alive
the love of the Fatherland.
i There is justification for newly arrived
! immigrants receiving religious and even
secular instruction in their native Ian
guage, but only until they are able to mas
ter the rudiments Of the English language.
The foreign language should be stepping
stone from the Fatherland to America.
Too often it has been a fence keeping the
immigrant from America. It has isolated
him in a little: foreign community; has
served to establish and maintain little
bit Of the Fatherland within America.
There is no longer valid excuse for the
use Of foreign languages here. Immigra-
ton has been negligible for the last three
or four years, and if the latest immigrants
to arrive have not learned the language
they should be made to feel the necessity
of doing so.

City Owns Noted Castle
rom The Detroit News

From The Detroit News.
The Scottish castle and its park which, accord
ing to British antiquaries mark the scene of the
final encounter between Macbeth and Macduff
and where, as all the world has known since
Shakespeare's time, Macbeth was slain, has be-
come the property Of the city Of Dundee
The name Of the castle where Macbeth got
enough" and paid the just penalty for his num-
erous crimes is Belmont. Mrs. Marryat, sister
and heiress of the late Sir James Card has
given the estate, including the castle and 600
acres of park to the city. The property lies IL
miles north of Dundee.
Belmont was at one time the home Of Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerrnan, who purchased the
estate from Lord Wharncliffe.

Roosevelt On The

In a recent editorial under the captain "Iur-

Roosevelt classes the leaders of the Nonpartisan

This advertisement is written on
Monday. October 21st. 1t is directed
to the attention of all distributors OF
Vick's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail In an emergency such as the
present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those
sections stricken by Influenza. we,
therefore, call your careful attention
to the following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUPPLY
is NOT CONSERVED.
On October LIST we had on hand, at
our Factory and In twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
VapoRub to last us. we thought. until
January 1st, allowing for a 500 In
crease over last years sales, and not
counting our daily output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
f,uenza hit us-and in the last 10
DAYS this stock has vanished. At
first we thought this tremendous de-
mand would last only a few days, but
the orders have run:
Wed, Oct. 16. 1854 DOE.
Thur, Oct NJ. .25,323 Doe.
Fri. Oct. 49,. 1926 DOE.
Sat, Oct. 49,. 45.S33 Dog.
Mon, Oct. 81. ..77.705 Doe.
Up to Saturday, October 18th, we
have actually shipped for this month
s4OO, 2S410. or over two million Jars
Of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS.
TRIBUTE vAPoRUB QUICKLY
Most of this tremendous quantity
is still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both congest-
ed nowadays, and it may be some time
before this supply reaches the jobbers.
In the meantime. therefore, 1t is nee
essary that we distribute, as widely as
possible, the stock that we are manu-
featuring daily, together with that
now on the jobbers' and retailers
shelves. in order that it may get >to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen per
day. We are putting on night shift
but it will be little while before that
is producing.

iobbers, by Special Delivery. as fol

the use Of Vick's VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE vAPORUB
In addition to the usual method OF
using VapoRub-that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-our customers are
| writing us daily telling of their sue
cess in using VapoRub in other ways,
particularly as preventive. They
| melt a. little in a spoon and 1nhale the
vapors arising, or melt it in a benzoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
! is not available, VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water. put
in half a teaspoon OF VapcRub from
time to time-keep the kettle just
slowly boiling and inhale the steam
arising.
| According to Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service. Dr.
stiles, of this Service, recommends
that the nose be kept creased as
preventive measure against the In
fluenza germs. For this purpose Vapo
Rub is excellent.
