President Wilson's reply to Senator Stone's letter is a gem worth reading and will be read in years to conje alongside of those of the greatest Americans who have lived. As usual he is right and the American people Will stand back of him in any crisis. Persons Interested in good roads projects aided by the contents of the federal treasury, will find No. 25 of The Congressional Record, dated January 22. 1915. replete with highly interesting and instructive information. That edition of The Record is devoted entirely to the subject of good roads. The debate thereon was participated in by men of ability who have given the subject much earnest thought. No. 25 of The Congressional Record should have the widest possible circulation. Here is a part of a headline in a recent issue of a metropolitan newspaper. It is over an article from the . mining regions of the Lake Superior mines: “Wages Paid Miners Are Largest in History—-Force of Men is Largest on Record." These headlines tell the tale in every line of business in this country. Os course it is prosperity. Even Jim Watson, who refused to switch from his calamity speeches to something else, has to admit that this country is enjoying a 'Better business in all lines than it has over known before in the history of the country. But Jim Watson and other “sour-grape” republican orators call it “shotgun” prosperity.—Hartford City News. ANNOMMENTS FOR CONGRESSMAN.

ASKS SCALES’ RESIGNATION. (United Press Service) Indianapolis. Ind.. Feb. 25 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Governor Ralston today confirmed a report from Evansville that he had asked T. D. Scales, state tax commissioner, to resign after Scales became a candidate for congress from the First district. The governor also said that the report he had offered the position of tax commissioner to Major G. V- Menzies of Mount Vernon was “true in substance.” Both Menzies and Scales are democrats. The governor said he believed an appointive officer should not seek an elective office without first resigning. “If that were allowed our whole public service would be undermined.” the governor said. Ec said . the people expected the elective officers to run lor re election. Mr. Scales, here to gee tfie governor, also admitted the truth of the Evansville report.

1 WILSON REMAINS FIRM IN DEMAND FOR RIGHTS >r e (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) s- The result of the conference was d that no action will be taken by cond gress today, at least. e The president emphatically told the house leader he would W>t budge from his Plan of insisting that Germany recognize every Ameri'hu right. Speaker Clark positively today told the president that sentiment in the house is overwhelmingly in favor of a warning resolution. It is not believed the bouse will reach a decision before next week. The democratic leaders promised that they will do their utmost to prevent Y summary action on the part of the house. The three democratic leaders all ol whom favor a warning resolution, were - closeted with the president from nine o'clock to nine-fifty o’clock. "I told the president what the sentiment of the house is.” said the speaki er. emphatically, as he left the white house. letter of the president to Senator Stone and Senator Stone's letter to the president.” continued Clark, “are the last words on the two sides of the question. When the house members read these two letters they will determine what the situation is.” The president absolutely refused to recognize the demands for a warning resolution, the speaker indicated. He also plainly intimated the president was advised that the house membership would probably reserye to itself judgment regarding its future action. That Clark. Kitchen and Flood are personally in favor of a warning resolution as a means to prevent possible war was also told the president. The demeanor of the three house leaders after the conference left little doubt that their convictions had not been changed by the president’s arguments. They also admitted that their suggestions had not in the least changed the president’s mind. The president’s friends declared later that they would continue the fight against presenting the warning resolu<ion. The speaker Kitchin and Flood were the center of an excited group: of congressmen upon their return to* igßndhl?fl *shrd cm cm cm cmfwy the capital. BULLETIN.
