death of the exiled emperor, Ma
poleon Ill. in England three years
later, and the killing of his only son,
the prince imperial, while in battle
with the English against the Zulus.
Sometimes" wrote the empress in
a letter which has recently come to
light bearing date of 1873-"some-
times, on seeing certain children
tearing the wings off butterflies and
tormenting poor things that cannot
show signs of suffering, | have made
the comparison that people some
times pluck out the heart and hurt
it without knowing the evil they do
with an eternal smile on their lips"
This was written the day before her
husband died.
An Unhappy Life.
The empress, in the two score
years that followed, found intimate
friends in England and interest in
travel, including visits to her former
haunts in Paris. Dressed in black
she passed almost unnoticed, where
once she was the leader of one of
the most brilliant courts of the nine

Pocketbooks More important
Than Palates, Says Senator
In Support Of
Harding.

Washington, July 11.-Pocket-
books will play more important
part thar palates in the present
presidential campaign, said Senator
Watson, republican of Indiana, in
an interview on the political situa-
ton here
The public is more interested, he
said. in economic measures which
promise to<reduce the cost of op-
Grating the government and restore
normal conditions-thus relieving
the tax burden and the high cost
of living-than in the qucnching of
a thirst with glass of beer. The
prohibition issue in his opinion, will
be forgotten before election day
rolls around in November.
Senator Watson told how the G.
0. P. chieftains had decided on
Senator Harding as the nominee.
But, contrary to the widely pub
lished reports that the republican
strategy had been worked out on
the theory that William G. McAdoo
would be the democratic candidate
he declared the leaders at Chicago
counted on Governor Cox winning
at San Francisco when they agreed
>on Harding.

nowhere with the 'deadlocked can

asked in conference was What is

Cox surely will be chosen at San
Francisco
I'VE never reckoned on McAdoo
as factor. We knew he had to
wrestle with the Grown prince han
dicap, and no man ever unloaded on
any government such a miserable
burden as Mr.. McAdoo unloaded
when he resigned as director general
OF railroads. He resigned at a
most advantageous time-for Mr.
McAdoo.
Yes, he ran away without offer
ing to aid in the solution Of the prob
lem unless his suggestion that the
government continue to operate the
roads for five years more could be
considered an aid said Senator

Was Against Sending SOL

UPHELD PRUSSIANS IN
RUTHLESS U-BOAT WAR
Strongly Advocated Combining
American and German Navies
To Sweep Control Of Seas
From Great Britain.

Dayton, O., July ll.-(Spcclal
Telegram.)-On December Is, 1910,
less than four months before Pres
ident Wilson asked congress for
q declaration OF war on Germany,
the Dayton News, OF which Gov
ernor Cox. the democratic prcsi-
dental nominee. is owner and pub
Usher. said in an, editorial:
"The war has wrecked the world
and accomplished nothing for either
side. Germany has gained nothing
and lost much. The allies have
gained nothing and lost much. The
crime of all the ages has accom-
plished nothing, save the wrecking of
similar world. God grant that the
next arm, lifted to WELD a sword so
foolishly may be paralyized and that
the brain may be stopped from
thinking before it conceives of war"
The editorial is attracting much
comment among Cox's political en-
emies in Dayton, and it is likely
to figure i'll the campaign.
Governor Cox opposed the send
ing of troops to France. Just five
days before the entry of the United
States in the war one of the News
editorials read;
He Opposed Army.
The, best way to injure our
enemy, If Germany should become
our enemy, through declaration
Of war, or because of state of war,
is to supply the deficiencies of the
allies. These deficiencies consist of
food and clothing and munitions OF
war. Instead of diverting our re-
sources to raising an army of a
couple of million men; instead of
sending men abroad for sentimental
purpose. we ought to go to work
to supply the allies with everything
they need and they do not need men:
We can best serve our own purpose
by furnishing other matter than
men,"
Condoned U Boat Warfare.
Even after the heavy loss of
American life, including women and
children, when the Lusitania was
torpedoed, Governor Cox's news
paper said editorially that the Ger
man submarines had committed no
crime against the United States. In
an editorial in the News, October
10, 1916, was this paragraph:
We have not heard of many
Americans biting their finger nails

Madrid, July 1.-THE former
Impress Eugenic of France died
here this morning.
The ex-Empress Eugenie was al
most impatient for the end OF her
long lease of life. 1t ran "a years.
Forty-iour were sparkling i'll the
successive roles of the Spanish
Countess Eugene Marie de Man
tito. travelling through Europe, a
visitor to the French court, wife OF
Napoleon III, and an occasional re-
gent of the French empire. Then in
a day the whole structure of impe-
rial eminence collapsed. The other
half of her life was mournful, so
much so that Eugene had said: Il
wish I had passed when the sha-
dowy fabric of my dream fell apart"
That day of disaster was Septem-
Der 4, 1870 when she and all Paris
had heard OF the defeat and capture
of Napoleon at Sedan. The en-
press was popularity accused of
bringing on that disastrous war with
Prussia.
Flees To England.
Historians have since declared
that there is little to support such
charges, but the riotous mobs of
Paris. shouting for the new repub-
lie, which the deputies proclaimed,
stormed the palace OF the Tuileries
and howled imprecations upon Eu-
genie's head until the empress be-
came convinced that her life was in
peril. Flight was decided upon, but
one plan after another failed until
an exit was found by way of the
Louvre. The empress, in disguise,
accompanied only by one of her la
dies in waiting. was whirled away
in cab to the residence of the
American dentist, DR.. Thomas J.
Evans. Lost to all Paris the ladies
spent the night in the protection of
this chivslrous American and the
next day they were driven off in his
carriage for flight across France to
the channel and the secret board
ing of yacht for England.

Republican Chiefs Take Credit
for Big Maine Victory,
WOmen's Votes Helped Pile Up
Democratic Defeat.
RESULT OF GOV. COX CHARGES
Failure to Make Good "SIush
Fund" Claims Cause.
VIII Hays Greatly Cheered by
Maine WOmen's Action.

New York. Sept. 14-The sweeping
Republican victory in the Maine state
election was as astounding to Republi-
can national leaders as IL was to the
Democrats today.
That the state should go Republican
by majority OF approximately 81, 200
over the former high-water mark in
1896 of $4,000 was unexpected even
by the most optimistic party leaders.
The most extravagant prediction
forecasts made by Republican state
leaders did not ga over 10000.
Hit Democrats Hard.
Altho Democratic national leaders
had entertained no hope of Demo-
cratic success in Maine. they were not
looking for a Republican majority of
more than $4,000.
Chairman White declined early to-
day to make any comment until he
had received further information.
Chairman Will Hays, of the Repub-
ican national committee. lost no time
in putting out a statement in which he
isfaction with the Wilson administra-
ton.
It's Republican Year.
THE result" said Hays. gives the
greatest reinsurance to all well wish
ers of good government, regardless of
past party affiliations. This over
whelmingly Republican victory unmis-
of the Democratic organization, the re-
pudiation of the administration of the
leader Woodrow Wilson, and the COM
plete condemnation of the campaign
of Candidate Cox. The women, too,
have demonstrated their dependability
in this crisis
Other Republican leaders ascribed
the result largely to Governor Cox S
alleged failure to make good" with
his charges of a slush fund of $751;
600, to buy the presidency"
Half Women Voted.
The New York World, the only
Democratic morning paper comment
ing editorially on the election, under
the caption "A Bad Beating" frankly
admitted the severity of the blow.
The Democrats have suffered a Sc
we're beating" it said. There is no
comfort in the result for them. They
went into the contest feebly organized
and gathered from its conclusion a
correspondingly feeble satisfaction.
1T appears that about half of the
potential woman vote has been polled,
which should increase the total vote
over 1916 by so per cent. Yet the
total Democratic vote is running even
with or behind that of 1916 when ex-
pectedly it would be running so per
cnt ahead as in the case with the Re-
publicans. Either then the newly en-
franchised women have been voting
the Republican ticket rather exclu-
sively or there has been a great defec-
ton in the old-time Democratic vote,
which is not probable"
