One of the chief causes of war is
that people of one country can't
understand why the people of the
other country do not understand.
Some day those fighting armies
of Europe will have to stop taking
prisoners. The supply will simply
peter out, if the figues given are
true. _
By firing his employes who be
long to the national guard Henry
Ford is getting a lot of free adver
tising, but we wonder if it will do
him any good.
A Mexican soldier is paid the
equivolent of four cents a day,
showing, says the Indianapolis Star,
that his employers have a fair idea
of what he is worth.
The New York Herald points
out that this is a great season for
the Hughes family. ‘‘Bill" Hughes
is premier to Australia; "Sam"
Hughes is minister of was for Can
ada; “Long Tom” Hughes is fam
ous among the basegall fans and
‘‘Charley" Hughes is running for
president. The world seems full
of Hughes and Cries.
WIN WITH WILSON.
The Democratic slogan of four
years ago “Win With Wilson" is
going to be overwhelmingly repeat
ed in 1916. The Democratic
nominees are not only receiving
loyal and enthusiastic support of
the united and triumphant Demo
cratic party, but the “independent
voter,” which is a very decisive
factor in a presidential campaign,
is in the Democratic camp, horse,
wagon and dragoon.
The great administration of
President Wilson in solving the
most momentous problems submit
ted to any president since Lincoln,
has made a deep and favorable im
pression on the country, and it is
nothing less than absurd to talk of
defeating him with a man like C. E.
Hughes or any other man, even if
he is admittedly clean and upright.
The fact of it is the country
never fails to reelect the president
who carries it safely through a great
crisis, and as President Wilson re
cently said the whole "world is on
fire,” and our own roof is not fire I
proof: nevertheless he has steered
the ship of state safely through the
rocks, and it is now enjoying, as
the benefit of his wise and states
man-like course, peace, plenty and
prosperity. Furthermore, it can
always be set down as an absolute
certainty, that the country will not
“vote against prosperity” which
would be the effect of voting against
President Wilson. The election of
the Republican candidate, would
mean the turning of the country
over again to the Republican bosses
and grafters, as it was under presi
dent Taft: for the old crowd that
ran things under Taft, from Frank
Hitchcock down, are getting ready
to run them under Charles E.
Hughes if the country should be so
thoughtless and so unwise as to
elect that distinguished "sphinx"
to rule the country.

Young Chemist Claims To Have
Found Secret of German Dyes
Louis H. Eilken Working in His Laborstory While His Wife and Baby Watch
His Experiments.
Out of a dingy, homo-made labora
tory in the congested apartment house
district of San Francisco has come the
announcement of the discovery of a
process for the manufacture of aniline
dyes which, it is claimed, is equal in
every respect to those which have en
abled Germany to hold the markets of
the world for so many years.
The man who claims to have discov
ered the secret for which so many have
been seeking is Louis II. Eilken, a
young chemist who ten years ago was
employed in tlie Bl eh rich Dye works In
Germany. There, as In all other dye
factories in Germany, the secret proc
esses upon which the great dye manu
facturing business of Germany wus
founded were closely guarded.
Since coming to America the young
chemist has spent every waking hour
In his little laboratory striving to dis
cover the secret formulas which have
baffled scientists all over the world.
At last, he cluims, success has crowned
his labors.
A PRAYER
By J. HORACE LYTLE.
TH E curse of what the world is pleased to term “good fortune”
is that with its coming too often the best qualities of the
heart are allowed to lie dormant, or altogether die. It seems
the heart of man gives oftenest the freest before his worldly efforts
have been crowned with marked success. The simplest, surest,
purest, sinccrest truth emanates more often from the cottage than
from the mansion. Oh, why must the possible good that might
eecompany success he, almost inevitably, marred and overshadowed
bv a chilliness creeping around the heart! I have myself worn both
overalls and evening dress, and, although I deplore the fact, am
compelled to admit that I liave never felt quite so free-hearted, nor
6o much sympathetic charity towards my suffering fellows, while
wearing the latter as while wearing the former. Hence, 0 Ixird,
I p'*v for sufficient real strength of character that, whether much
fortune visits me or not, I may never forget that the souls making
up the multitude in this world are but so many human hearts that
can suffer, and therefore that I may always regard it as one of my
chiefest duties to make as light as lies within my power the pass
ing through this life for some other fellow'.
Much Work for Small Money.
There are 925 separate operations In
