date who has in any manner been
connected with or employed by the
large corporations who have for
many years been active in the up
building and advancement of the in
dustries of the state.
AS most of the residents OF our
community are in some manner di-
rectly or indirectly connected with
these corporations as employees at the
present or at some time in the past,
it appears that should these be elimi-
mated it would be necessary to seek
far afield for candidates to fill of
fices in the state, counties and cities
of the state.
We who are employed by these
corporations, whether in the capacity
of superintendents, attorneys, office
men and women, miners, mechanics,
smeltermen or common laborers, must
serve to the best of our ability ana
upon the results of our efforts de-
pends the length of time our employ
ment continues.

of the largest incoporations in the
state, E. E. Ellinwood, candidate fol
nomination as democratic candidate
for the office of governor, subject to

his, as we have served in our lines
of duty.
We feel that the experience gained
by Attorney Ellinwood IN the servlcN
he has performed should be of great
value to every laborer in the state
and as governor will be able to serve
their needs better than those who
have not had opportunities of service
granted to them.

More Truth Than Poetry
FIGHTING BARDs
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

The poet of old was aware
That his trade wasn't highly es-
teemed,
He knew that all men didn't care
For the wonderful dreams that he
dreamed.
And so when in rhyme he admonishe0
the throng
To be brave in it's griefs and keep
He always took care not to make 1t
so long
That it couldn't be written on tiling.
When in public MS verses he read
And his audience did not appear
To approve of the things that he
said
He had not tremor of fear.
He calmly kept on with his metrical
speech
In periods placidly flowing
Till he noticed some cnap in the
lyceum reach
For some object well suited for
throwing. 4.
Then, arrayed in series of smiles
(No menace could scare or upset
him)
He gathered together the tiles
| And dared them to come up and
get him.
In the fight that ehsued many faces
were marred
And the ambulance often was needed
But the people who showed their
dislike of the bard
! Got more badly injured that he did
| The poes today are annoyed
When the critics and public pro-
claim
F., That they all would be better en-
ployed
| In the blacksmith or bricklaying
game.
J But if they engrave their effusions
! on bombs
And keep good able guns to eject
! them,
They could write all they pleased
and without any qua1ms
| Lest the world might not love ant
/ respect them!

STEWART'S WASHINGTON LETTER
RY Charles y. Stewart


WASHINGTON, Aug. II. = w. R.
Campbell has been official guide at
the state, war and navy building un-
der 16 secretaries Of state, IA secre4
taries of war and II secretaries OF
the navy.
1t would have been 13 secretaries
of the navy, only the navy depart
ment was crowded out into another
building during the World war, ana
never managed to get back in again.
Today, in reality, it's the state ana
war building, and at that, it houses
but small fraction of the war deu
partment.
Campbell doesn't recall in just whaA
year he did his firss guiding, buy
"Grover Cleveland was president,
Thomas F. Bayard was secretary OF
state, William c. Endicott was sec
retary of war and William c. Whit
ney was secretary of the navy, he
says, which makes about 40 years
of it.
The old guide could tell rare
story of the personalities of the cele-
brities with whom he's come in con-
tact but, of course, he won't do it.
Concerning the wonders OF tho
state, war and navy building he can
and will discourse endlessly, but
names are about all he'll mention
as to the visitors he has escorted
through it.
Let a White House or a depart
mental or capitol guide or usher or
private secretary get to anaIyzing
character and he never knows what
toes he may be stepping on.
Discretion That's the watchworor
for long official life in Washing
ton.
W. r. Campbell learned it so thor
oughly, long ago, that he hesitates
to discuss notables who have been
dead for decades, with no living de.
scendents.
There are two miles or corridors
in the state, war and navy building.
w. r. Campbell has tramped them
thousands of times, in the company
of cabinet members, and general, OF
ambassadors plenipotentiary and OF
envoys extraordinary.
He's the best posted man in the
world in his particular field of ac,
tivity.

England Waiting

London, Sept. P}-While the British government seems unlikely to do anything for the moment re- garding the Kiawo incident. in which several British naval officers and seamen were killed or wounded by Chinese troops attached to Wu Pei Fu's forces, it is certain there will be some sort of diplomatic action as soon as conditions warrant.
 In view of the chaotic condition in China, no diplomatic note has been sent to Picking. In fact, the unofficial attitude is that such action in the present state of affairs would be rather a compliment to the Pe- king regime which is supposed to be governing the country.
 However, if Wu Pei-Fu retires suf- ficiently to escape the Cantonese reds who are harassing him, and can again give his attention to such 'ir- responsible acts of brigandage" as the Kaiwo affair, he will hear from Great Britain in the strongest terms.
 Officials here are satisfied with the situation at Canton, where it is stated British naval forces will re- main to protect the shipping, which, for the first time since the Hong kong boycott was started. is now be- ing carried on without molestation from the Canton strike pickets.
