ABUSING THE PRESIDENT

nEPLORABLE as the attempt to kill
u the President-elect at Miami last
night appears to ALL it may have bene-
flcial effect on the people of the nation
which Mr. Roosevelt will soon head.
While in the main, we take our politi-
cal victories and defeats in the proper
manner, there is altogether too much
personal animosity, vituperative criticism
and downright disrespect directed toward
the person and office of the President of
the United States.
Every President has been subjected to
it, from Washington down. 1t seems to
have become somewhat fashionable, or at
least popular, in recent years, among
what is generally termed "the better
class, to berate the President.
Granted that every citizen has the
right to differ in opinion with his Pres
ident or with any other official or indi-
vidual, that does not give him the right
to give public expression to an abusive
TRADE.
In time of war if citizens expressed
themselves toward the President as they
have been doing in recent years, it would
not take long to find themselves in Jail.
The man responsible for the attempt
on Mr.. Roosevelts life, while not an
avowed anarchist. or member of any rad
ical organization, is undoubtedly ignor-
ant. There are many like him through
out the country. When such as he hears
educated and intelligent men and women
pouring out abusive remarks about the
President, it is no wonder that they take
such remarks literally, failing to recog-
nize that in most cases the speaker is
just blowing off steam.
A Of boorI apd haua rrnh-
ably used defamatory remarks regard
ing the President. 1t should be the aim
of every citizen to refrain from such eX-
pressions and to discourage them in 9TH
ers. Any intelligent person can dis
tinguish between difference of opinion
and abuse.
There is no disputing the fact that
these are troublesome times. The nerves
and tempers of many men are stretched
to the breaking point and they may ex-
press themselves as they would not do
under normal conditions. The President
of the United States, no matter who he
may be, or of what political party, is not
responsible for the individual lives and
fortunes of the citizens. He is not to be
censured and abused for wrongs over
which he has no control and which he
has no mower to correct.
1t is needless to say that the great ma
iority of the American people bitterly re-
sent and deplore the murderous attack
upon Mr.. Roosevelt and rejoice that it
was not successful 1t may make US
realize more keenly the great dignity OF
the office of President of the United
States (Mr. Roosevelt for practical pur-
poses being entitled to that distinction)
and the great danger that constantly sur
rounds the President.
The attack should draw the people

them in at the ends, in the belief
they would be all the wings con-

Thereupon the legislature pro-

ors now are tearing down the end

4 POOR RICH MAN

THE Biblical story of The Widows
1 Mite has counterpart here in Ell
Centre, IN the person of a man who has
been out of work for 10 months.
Recently he obtained temporary work
which provides him with little more than
is essential to obtain the necessities Of
life.
Yet this man. whose name and identity
are unknown. came to the chamber of
commerce office recently and contribut-
ed two dollars to the Central relief
board.
He refused to give his name or any
other information about himself except
that his 10 months of enforced idleness
had taught him just how much need
there is for relief work and that there
are many others in greater need
than he is.
His clothes were shabby, nor did he
give any indication of being highly edu-
Gated, yet he may we'll claim the title of
gentleman, though doubtless he would
not.
The Central relief board is doing a
splendid work here. Any doubters have
only to make the most casual investiga-
tion to find that out. Yet it is carry
ing on with insufficient funds and could
do much more if all showed something
Of this mans generous spirit.
1t may be difficult to pass up mov-
ing picture show or some other luxury,
in order to make a contribution but it is
worth the sacrifice.
This poor rich man. has found out
the greatest secret for happiness. 1t
does not necessarily come through fine
clothes and plenty of this worlds goods,
but from the inward satisfaction that is
derived from doing good.
There are many who are not respond
ing as they should in helping the relief
work Here is splendid Inspiration for
them to follow the example of the ''poor
rich man" and make their contribution
no matter how small it may be.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Nov 17-(UP)-Some of the larger mills entered the Bos- ton wool market today and pur- chased liberal-sized quantities of the raw product, mostly fine and medium varieties. The market in general was more active than at any time in recent, weeks.
 Prices were technically stronger, and wool men said actual price ad- vances could not be much longer delayed. Most business was being done in territory wools, with strictly staple fine eombing quoted at S1-S5 cents pound, clean basis, depend- ing on whether the wools were graded or in original bags. Half blood was quoted at 79-82; three eighth. 76-7S: and quarter-blcod. 70-72. Relatively less interest wits being shown in Ohio and similar combirg wools.
 The U. $. agriculture department said: Greasy combinG domestic wools are selling quite freely. De- mand has become much broader and prices are showing strength ening tendency, most sales being closed at the high sides of recently quoted ranges on western grown wools. All grades of territory wools are receiving some call but the bulk of the sales are on 58s, sos and finer qualities. Sizab,e quan- titles of short French combing GAS and finer territory wools in orig inal bags have been taken out of the market at .7S, secured basis"

Paris, Nov 17.-UP)-Petit Parisien, one of the most influ- ential newspapers in France, pub- lished to-day over the vigorous denials of German government of- ficials, document purporting to outline German : government scheme for flooding North and South America with propaganda in the guise of news.
 The newspaper claimed the document emanted from the Ger man department of propaganda and that it urged the German governments confidential agents abroad to concentrate in the foreign field"
 Interest must be centered," the document reads, especially in countries whose public opinion must be won over all available means to a better understanding of Germany's policies"
 The alleged instructions recited that it is "of capital importance to regain the public opinion of the American continent" but that the work must be done with the greatest precaution."
 The propaganda methods urged were through development of German wireless news" service in. neutral guise; skilfuli direction of wireless propaganda overseas; "di- rect effort through the foreign press' and personal relations with journalists and the propri- etors of important foreign news papers with view to exercising personal influence"
 Germany's claims to the lost provinces of Alsace Lorraine were not to be unduly, stressed, accord ing to the document, but revision

 Wheat lost cents and corn cent, while cotton was about 50 cents a bale lower. Silve.' and oth- CT commodities reacted. Bonds were irregular with U. s. issues ral- lying sharply on dollar strength.
 Selling in the mining issues re- suited in declines ranging to 5 points, the latter in U. $. Smelling. Wet stocks were sold at declines of 1 to more than points. Chemical Shares, recent strong spots, lost ground. Mail order shares held well, but farm equipments weaken ed.
 Chrysler was active. At one time it touched AZ 3-8 up 1 IA points. Later it sold off to small net loss. General Motors also eased after early firmness. Oil shares ruled firm most of the day with demand for Socony-Vacuum and Standard of New Jersey.
 U. S. Steel after touching A 3-S up 7-S, declined to around AZ 1-2. American Telephone was depressed 2 points from it's high. Railroad shares held well, bolstered up by favorable car loadings report for the week ended last Saturday. The loadings were under the preceding week but made better showing than a year ago.
 Mercantile issues were aided by reports of pickup in retail sales. Packing issues sold off as did sul- phur shares. National Biscuit showed strength most of the ses- sion on investment buying. Stocks whose companies operate abroad dipped with the foreign currencies. They had been strong recently on the increased income resulting from a premium on foreign cur rencies in dollar terms.

 ard, chairman of the emergency commission. Working with his committee, it is understood, will be special county and town civil works committees.
 One-half the jobs will be filled with men taken from the welfare relief rolls, and the other jobs will be offered unemployed men who have managed to sustain them selves without public aid. They will apply for the work through state employment bureaus.
 At Brainard's office today it was said the full dist of projects which will be considered for the employ ment of men thus out of work, had not been studied. The state high way department. however, is ex- pected to provide a program on which thousands of men can be used. The work, however, all will be done with the approval of the various committees for which it is planned.
 Many mayors and selectmen al- ready are preparing schedule of projects which will be submitted to Brainard. At Bridgeport Mayor Jasper McLevy expressed the belief the civil works plan is the greatest evolved by the Washington admins istration. His city already has set aside $20,000 to get the work started at once.
 Angus Thorne, head of the Bridgeport welfare department, who last summer made a survey of state unemployment conditions for Governor Cross, said today that with the government supplying the cash, and the city the work, all but about 300 families could be drop- ped from the welfare rolls at Bridgeport.
 The same improvement should result in other cities, Thorne said. Only families who have no possible wage earners will need to be kept on the rolls, according to his view.
 Last figures received by the emergency relief commission indi- cated there were approximately 25,0OO cases absolutely dependent on aid for shelter and clothing,

The apple market during the past week appears to have. devel- oped a slightly firm tone, partic- ularly for Mcintosh. Average qual- ity of all offerings was continuing to show improvement over earlier in the month, which in turn has re- suited in an advance in the average price.
 Mcintosh were held for as much as $1.60 a bushel and more by some sellers where fancy fruit of extra quality, from cold storage. was available. There was still some of this variety coming in from common storage, of mediuI> size, and fancy quality selling as low as $125 bushel.
 The best of the Baldwins seldom sold higher than $1.00 a bushel, some of almost No. 1 grade were still being offered for 75 cents. Very few low priced drops were of off the market. Delicious have not been brought in very extensively yet.
