ONE YEAR Of DEMOCRATIC RULE.
President Wilson has now servec
one full year in the White House
and no President has ever enterec
that White House who has been s<
persistent and aggressive as he ii
fulfilling the premises made to tb'
American people by the Democrat,
ic Convention which nominated hin
to July, 1912. Furthermore, ther
jis no parallel in the world's histor
tivhere a ruler of a great nation ha
made such a profound impressio
on the civilization of the world in s
.short a time as one year, as Pres
4e«t Wilson has. He has prodabl
made a few trifling mistakes, as n
man is perfect, but he has not mad
any serious mistakes and the entir
country gives him credit forabsc
lute sincereity, honesty, patriotist
and masterly statesmanship. Th
most glorious of all, however, i
the fact that no corrupt or ques
tionable deal has been put throug
Congress during his administratioi
;aw> you can gamble on it that
any such deal should get throug
Congress it would promptly receiv
the veto of that great incorruptibl
statesman who presides at tb
White House.

party with the loss of all the female
votes—in those states where they
now have a vote—unless Congress
shall grant them a nation wide
vote. The members of the Judici
ary Committee admitted that it
was the liveliest experience that
they ever went through. However,
Congress is not going to grant any
such request, because women's
suffrage is not in the Democratic
platform and. furthermore, our good
female Democratic friends in the
Western States are too staunch in
their loyalty to the Democratic
party to do such a thing as the car
rying out of that threat, and Con
gress has practically decided that
the women can make their fight in
each state and win°or lose as the
people see fit, for no Democratic
congress has a right to make such
a sweeping change in the voters oi
the country until such a plank is
1 written into the Democratic plat
1 form, and thereby submitted to the
! people for decision.

Friend Farmer
is Your Seed Tested?
The long wet fall has made the seed situation
serious.
Tests of both Gorn and Cotton show that most
seed is only testing from 10 to 60 per cent.
Planting Poor Seed
Wastes Money
Wastes the money it is worth as feed; wastes
valuable time, you can’t replace; and eliminates
the possibility of a good crop.
Testing is Easy, Necessary
and Pays Big
If you have good tested seed for sale, cr If
we can be of slightest assistance in'giving in
formation as to testing o: in finding good seed
near home, write
