Is then to suppose passing before it not reasonable that being divided on so many other things they must necessarily fall? If the motto means anything it means that United we stand; divided we fall. Candidate Hughes must feel chagrined at the way the Colonel is acting, especially on the recall of those lapel buttons bearing the three pic- tures. It was, forsooth, a very bad error on the part of whoever ordered the medallions struck off without per- mission from the Colonel; but once having been done the Colonel should have let it go at that, even if only for the sake of appearances Now the long looked for meeting between the two ex-Presidents loses all its gayety. Instead of a feast there will be a funeral. Affections will be still deeper buried and enmities allowed to grow on the grave. Instead of a joyful day it is a sorrowful day for the Un- ion Leaguers and all those who planned the final reunion of Theodore Roosevelt and Willlam Howard Taft. IF. After listening to a sermon in which the great Apostle, St. Paul, was held up as a model of power and forceful- ness, John D. Rockefeller came to the conclusion that had the evangelist lived “a couple of thousand vears later he would have been a captain of industry.” Mr. Rockefeller's rea- sons for such an assertion are these:— “St. Paul was persistent, and it's persistenay that gets things these days. Persistent men are needed at the top, and Paul would naturally have be- come a leader in some line of business or industry in these modern days of commercial opportunity. As head of a great combination he would have been a big success. All he would have needed is capital, and he would have done the rest. We need more mod- ern men with Paul's methods and forceful nature. Natural leaders are rare and *valuable. They reap rich rewards in business and industrial life. Every line of commercial effort offers them big opportunities.” ‘Whether St. Paul would have been a captain of industry should he have lived two thousand years later than his time is a matter of conjecture. He might not have found business methods altogether to his liking. He might have gone into the law, or in politics. His persistency would surely have forged him to the front, for St. Paul never gave up. He was a pioneer and he overcame obstacles greater than those ever set before of the twentieth century, things that could not happen in this year of grace. So while what St. Paul would or might do toward the close of this century cannot known, what he did do when the Christian era was in its in- and the example has No such men be never been lost to the world. captain of industry has yet left footprints on the sands of time.

The Nashville Banner declines to get excited at the proposal to revise “Dixie” by translating its dialect into good English. It is of the opin- ion that:— The dialect in the old words that Dan Emmett of Ohio wrote for a min- strel show in New York had nothing to do with anything “indigenous and individual in our American art and civilization,” unless the writer meant the burnt cork art. It was a jargon of that peculiar cult and not a dialect that southern Negroes or anybody else ever really spoke.” The Banner doesn't go “Dixi but allows that “it is the tune only that counts.” And now happily it is a nation altune, and in that fact carrying the special signifi- cance of the re-uniting of a nation. back on “Who Are Latins?” (Springfield Republican). being Latins, they have a ven- politeness—the same sort of politeness which prompts the robLer who steals your watch to offer you a cigar before parting.

DARES HUGHES 10 BACK UP “TEDDY" McCormick Anxwusly Awaits Ap- proval of Latest Speech New York, Oct. 8.—Vance C. Mec- Cormick, chairman of the democratic national committee, vesterday upon Colonel speech at Battle Creek, he thought the country would await with eager interest to know if Mr. Hughes had congratulated the Colonel. The people, he said, have every right to know if the republican presidential candidate indorses Colonel Roose- admission that, if he had been president, he would have seized every interned German ship in American water following the torpedoing of the T.usitania. “According to this admission,” said | Mr. McCormick, “the United States would have been at war with Ger- many today had Colonel Roosevelt, been president. Will Mr. Hughes, in a congratulatory telegram to Colonel Roosevelt, indorse this as his own position with regard to the Lusitania incident, or will he remain silent and continue to bid for the support of disloyal Americans “I marvel at the effrontery of the man to stand before an audience of American people and prate about his interest in mankind, after having at- tempted to betray into the hands of the men he denounced as ‘porch climbers’ the progressive party that accepted his ‘Confession of Faith’ four vears ago at its face value. No Reasons for Hughes' Election. “A feature of the speech that must have impressed every one was that, although he was speaking in the in- terest of Mr. Hughes' candidacy, he barely mentioned the name of the | republican candidate, but devoted | most of his time to heaping vituper- ative, abuse upon President Wilson and criticising the democratic party. He offered no reason why Mr. Hughes should be elected and made no at- tempt to outline what Mr. Hughes would have done in the same cir- cumstances, or may do in the event of his election. “The Colonel' out a humorous chord. a test of character and courage tween President Wilson and Hughes with reference to their atti- tude as regards the threatened strike. Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Hughes are in the same box with respect to this question. If either of them had any attitude during the pendency of the threatened strike or when the leg lation was before congress, they con- trived skillfully to conceal it. It is as absurd to try to compare the firm and courageous stand of the pr dent in this crisis with the silent and | unknown attitude of Colonel Roose- velt and Mr. Hughes as it is to com- pare the courage of a lion with a lamb. “I confidently expect that before the Colonel proceeds much further in the campaign he will profit by the experience of Mr. Hughes and declare himself to be in favor of the ‘prin- ciple of the eight-hour law.’ Tt re- quired some time for Mr. Hughes to see the right, but he did eventually, and now the only difference betewen President Wilson and Mr. Hughes on this question is the difference between promise and performance. M. Flughes indorses the ‘principle and Mr. Wilson enforces the perform- ance of this ‘principle.’ “It is to be hoped that in his next speech Colonel Roosevelt will tell the people whether, if he were prestdent, he would repeal the eight-hour law, whether he would insist upon its re- peal if Mr. Hughes should he elected. The Colonel's speech on the whole was undignified and unpatriotic, and, when not inconsistent or humorous, most of his statements were disingen- in commenting Roosevelt's Mich., said speech was not with- He challenged be- Mr uous.” Commenting upon President Wil- son’s speech on Saturdey at Shadow | Lawn, Chairman McCormick said that that part of it in which the president | pointed out that the success of the | republicans would mean the entrance | of this country into the war in one | form or another defined the para- mount issue of the campaign. | “All Americans who desire the con- | tinuance of peace and prosperity will | vote for the re-election of President | Wilson,” he said. “All who wish war | should vote for Mr. Hughes. There | can be no mistaking the issue. There | is only one alternative of peace, and | that is war.” MICHIGAN TICKE' PDemocrats Meet Today to Select Their Candidates, Mount Mich., Oct. 3.— Candidates for state offices not voted upon at the recent primary election were to be the democratic convention The be Clemens, chosen by here today. that might state only possible contest -aused, delegates declared, would re- sult if efforts were made by “dry” ad- vocates to get a prohibition plank into Candidates are to be nominated for secretary of state. attorney general, auditor general, state treasurer and justice of state supreme court.

WISE SMITH MORE ROOM NEEDED (Continued from First Page.) work in the morning; the young women may not have it in the after- roon. “It seems to me that the best solu- tion for the problem is to transform the present gymnasium and torium into twelve class rooms; transfer the Open Air school to the roof of the vocational building, and to build between the two High school buildings one building to include twa }¥ymnasiums on the South Main street level, and a large auditorium on the Ba. tt street level. The school li- brary—a department of our schonl life which, with larger quarters might be made much more efficient—could be transferred to the new building @and opened to the public as a branch of the institute.
