THE PRESIDENT

There is naturally a great deal of
concern about the condition of Presi-
dent Wilson. The health of man
occupying so great a position is,
quite aside from all personal inter-
est, Of importance to the whole ma
ton in thousand ways. At this
time, too, because of the information
al position the president has occu-
pied. it is of unusual importance TO
all the rest Of the world.
There is probably more concern
than there need be about the matter
because OF the mystery that has been
made of it. The motives of the
presidents physicians and of his
family and close associates are
doubtless OF the best. They do not
want to cause any undue alarm; and
SO. while hoping for the best, they
say as little as possible, lest it be
misconstrued. But the trouble is that
their silence has been misconstrued.
There is little to gain by suppress.
sion of the full facts. If there is a
good prospect of the president re-
covering and resuming his duties
within any reasonable length of time,
the public ought to know it for the
reassuring effect it will have on pol
itics. business and other activities.
If the ailment is of such nature as
to involve probable or possible in

''As unorganized labor, which en-
braces the vast majority of working
people, has no special representation

MORE LAND FOR FOOD

Motion picture shows, barbecues
I'D stump-pulling have been the
lief features of life in certain rural
stricts in Georgia recently. The
eorgia State College and the Unit
States department of agriculture,
ided by the railroad administration,
land owners association and var
,us machinery and implement coh-
erns have been giving the feasts and
hows.
1t has become very important to
pen up a lot of waste land for culti-
alton. and the organizations men
toned above have been carrying on
IN active campaign to teach the rural
population the need of land clearing.
IS methods and benefits. Stump
pulling exhibitions are given to
which crowds have thronged for
niles around. The companies fur
nishing the machinery for the stump
pulling do no soliciting Of sales or
selling during the exhibition. Ma
turally they are glad enough to
make sales later. But the campaign
is an educational, not a commercial
one.
Refreshments are frequently serv-
ed free, and in the evening the mov-
ing picture show finishes OF well
spent day with little wholesome
entertainment.
OF course, clearing the land will
not do much good unless it is actu-
ally used to increase production after
It is cleared. That is Just what the
average farmer is ready to do in
every part of the country. With the
modern farm tractor to help him out
he can take care of more land and
raise more and better crops in a sea-
son than ever before.
There is lots of material in Ore
gon for stump-pulling contests.

ONE Or JAPAN'S GREAT
STATESMEN DIES TO-DAY

Toxic. Oct. 2l.--Ffeld Marshal
Count Selke Terauchi, former pre-
mier OF Japan. died today.
One OF the most famous warrior
statesmen OF modern Japan. Field
Marshal Count Seiki Terauchi's not
able achievements included his solu-
tion OF the problem OF national de-
fense for Japan and his success in
annexing Korea and the assimilation
OF the Korean people into the Jap
anese empire during his administra-
tion as governor general OF that
colony. The results he attained in
Korea had marked him as a COM
manding figure and one to be reck-
oned with In shaping the destinies
OF the Japanese empire.
Called by the emperor to become
premier in the course Of a passionate
struggle between the forces OF rep
resentative government and those of
the Japanese bureaucracy. his eleva-
tion to the leading post in the Jap
anese government in 1916 brought
the clash between these opposing
forces 10 issue. with Count Terauchi
as the focus.
Small in stature and modest In ap-
uearance, Count Terauchi combined
with keen military knowledge a large
capacity for craftsmanship and pow
er OF leadership. His aversion to
politicians cost him many friends.
As premier he announced that his
aim would be to promote friendly
ties between Japan and the United
States. that he had no intention OF
"waving the sword" at America and
that he accepted the Office "as n
statesman seeking the lasting inter
ests OF his people; not as a militarlst
seeking glorification by the sword:"

What Madge Advised Alice
Holcombe to Do,

For few seconds the startling
words which Alice Holcombe had
uttered bereft me of speech or
motion. Then turned to her in
anxious, hurried protest, protest
which, however, I felt was not quite
sincere. To me the announcement
that Kenneth Stockbridge was said
to have confessed the murder of his
wife, was not the incredible horror
that it was to the woman who
loved him with such hopeless devo-
ton.
But l fatter myself that there was
no trace of my doubt of the accused
principal in the Mortified accents
with which l addressed her. And
there was no need for me to feign
agitation. Whether the thing were
true or not, l could not hear so aw-
full thing about a man with whom
l had worked and whom / had sin
cerely liked, with any degree of
calmness.
mo! Alice! 1t can't be true!"
"Of course it can't" she returned
simply, "unless-the long confne-
ment and the awful unjust accusa-
ton have turned Kenneth's brain.
Do you think that might have hap
pened?"
