with definite ideas and convictions;
urhane of manner, with a smile that
wins even a hostile senator. Baruch's s
background as a stock broker and al
legged participator in a sensational
leak" have been almost obliterated by
the mastery and unselfish way in
which he kept the Industries of the
country on an even keel during the
war.
The appearance of the secretary of
state was an occasion, one not relished
by that official. 1t cannot be an
agreeable position for such an official
to be asked to reveal the innermost
happenings OF the most important con
ference in the world, and to explain
the most delicate intricacies of diplo
macy. Even as You or l might, Mr..
Lansing frequently sought refuge in
II do not recall" or II cannot say"
or even in the flat, "I do not know"
The secretary asked that he might
answer some of the more important
questions in writing, a method in
which he would doubtless be more at
home than answering verbally before
a number of spectators, many Of them
not too sympathetic.

FERRIS IN THE RACE
QIealdton Herald


The daily papers of Saturday last
carried the story that Scott Ferris
had decided to make the race for Unit
ed States senator to succeed I. l..
Gore and that as soon as he was able
to return from Washington Mr.. Ferris
would begin active work.
This announcement has long been
expected and comes as result of eff
forts of democrats from all parts of
the state who want to see in the SEN
ate a man who has at all times stood
squarely behind the president and who
has done what he could in forwarding
the plans of the administration while
America was in the war.
At this time the Herald has no
hesitancy in declaring itself 1t
cannot support Mr.. McAdams, a negi-
gible quantity, whose candidacy is not
to be seriously considered. The Herald
man has always been a supporter of
the attorney general, but we cannot
concede that Mr.. Freezing is Ferris
equal in statecraft or in those things
which go to make up senatorial abll-
ity. Mr.. McAdams couldn't beat Gore,
if the race were between those two.
Ferris can beat Gore, even with Free
ling and McAdams in the going. So
we're for Ferris, to the tie. the ballots
are counted-with Freezing as second
choice.
1t was Luther Harrison of the Ada
Star Democrat, who coined the eps-
gram: IF mans patriotism has ever
been discussed he's not 100 per cent
American" That's the best test in
the world in selecting new senator.

a decided drop.
Now, friends, just what do you reckon
caused that same decided drop? Was it due
to an increased production of beef steers? Was
it due to bumper corn crop, or a promise of
better pasturage for beef cattle? Was it due
to an imaginary export embargo on beef? No,

POLITICAL LEADERS MADE
SERIOUS MISTAKES IN 1914

Berlin, Sunday, Aug. 24.-Prince
Bernard Won Buelow, former grand
chancellor, has in a rather belated
manner entered the list of those max
ing revelations concerning the out
break of the war, by writing to the
F'rendenblatt of Hamburg regarding
the statement made by DR.. Theobald
Won Bethmann Hollweg, chancellor in
1914, that the declaration Of war was
inevitable. Prince Won Buelow sketches
his long years as chancellor. tells how
he was able to avoid war and admits
that peace was desired by Bethmann-
Hollweg, who, he says, however. lacked
political art.
During the grave weeks before the
war" writes Prince Won Buelow, "se
rious physiological, political and diplo
matte mistakes were made by Ger
many's political leaders. which were
unjustly ascribed to the peoples re-
sponsibility."
