WILSON! TO REMAIN AT WASHINGTON AFTER MAR. 4

, — Washington, D. C., Aug; 16.— President Wilson, according to local gossip, plans to live in Washington even after relinquishing the White House. Rumor says the president will occupy an old homestead, known as the Nourse mansion, recently purchased by Admiral Cary T. Grayson. It is the president’s intention, so the rumors go, to occupy the mansion immediately after March 4 until next summer. Extensive alterations are to be made in the house to modernize it.

BIRTH RATE IN U. S. DROPS 33 PER CENT

Washington, Aug. 16.—Demand for baby carriage has fallen off fifty per cent in the last six months, the United States Chamber of Commerce reports. Manufacturers say the birth rate has decreased thirty-five per cent last year. \ The bureau of votal statistics says the birth rate decrease will not reach thirty-our per cent.

I ever heard was when a misinformed gentleman argued the Franklin was a CITY car. Now if there is a country road record that the Franklin doesn’t hold, tell it to us and we’ll go after it. Truth is, the only thing between you and a rough road should be a Franklin car. The next funniest thing was at a show we went to to see an exhibition of the latest dances. They were dressed so thin all they could do was stand there and shiver. It wasn’t so cold where we sat, but them actors just shook all over. . Then some country fellow sticks his head out and says: “All in favor of the motion say ‘l’ ’’ It will pay you to know,a lot more about the Franklin car than this ad tells you. THOMPSON & KIRK.

MR. COX AND REPUBLICAN STATESMEN

1 * Gov. Cox’s appeal to Republicans isl the name of Lincoln’s action in the civil war crisis, McKinley s in the war of Cuban ifidependence, ana Garfield’s prophecy of American moral leadership get him on pretty He says Lincoln “fought a war over the purely moral issue of slaQf course, he did nothing of the sort. Lincoln fought for the preservation of the union, threatened at that time by disintegration, through the state rights doctrine of Mr. Cox’s party, just as it is threatened today by the internationalism of M,r Wilson which ’ Mr. Cox has undertaken to support and ©on 1 ” 111 ®-. To Lincoln, union, not the purely moral question of slavery, was the paramount issue, and he said so in unmistakable terms. . As for McKinley’s intervention m Cuba, however moral issues colored our feeling, it was rested securely on the basis of our national welfare and the right to be at peace on our frontiers. Furthermore, war would not have been declared if the Maine had not been SU As for Garfield’s “prophecy,” we beg to call Mr. Cox’s attention to. the fact that Garfield spoke of “moral” leadership and not of alliances likely to involve us with every imperialist enterprise cherished in the world. . , _ The chief good that can come from the present campaign is to clear the air of the Big Talk and moral buncombe which for eight years have defied the common sense of the American people and hid in a dazzling gauze sorry facts of the Wilftmian internationalist policy in Europe, Mexico and Asia.—Chicago Tribune.

POWERFUL U. S. TEAM GATHERS TRACK HONORS

Antwerp, Aug. 16.—America’s powerful and well balanced track and field team continued to gath-; er team honors/in the second day I of the seventh Olympiad. It out-' classed all the other nations’ com-[ binations, but its members were not strong enough individually to win > all the first place honors, particularly in the classic ancient pentathlon ,in which the Finnish Star, E. Lehtonen proved to be the best all around Athlete. Loomi* Seta Record. In addition to the Americans scoring the greatest number of points, the only world record of the day was made by Frank Loomis of the Chicago A. A., in the 400 meter hurdles with 54 seconds flat, a full second better than - the time made by Bacon in the London Olympics in 1908. In both the hurdles and the 100 meters dash, four of the six finalists were American athletes, of whom three ran first in the hurdles and two first in the 100-meters. Protest Recalled. A majority of the experts at the finish line of the TOO meter event, but not the officials, insisted that J. V. Schbltz of the University of Missouri, was third instead of fifth, as officially placed, but a protest entered by the Americans was withdrawn when it was realized that there was no going behind the official decision.

U. S. Has 43 Points. In* the other events, the heats before the semi-finals in the 80Q meter run, all the Americans retained places, but it was generally conceded by the American runners that the South African, B. G. D. Rudd, has a sure first in the finaL The American performances today netted them a total of 43 points in the track and field events —17 in the hurdles, 15 in the 100 meters dash and 11 in the pentathlon—out of a possible 66 for the day’s events. ’ . Sweden, which gained only onefifth place today to add to yesterday’s one sixth place, has only a three point track total, but Finland, by the 19 points won in the javelin throw yesterday and the 10 in today’s pentathlon has 29, and is second to the Americans.

BE CAREFUL OR GAS MAY GO TO FORTY CENTS

Unless joyriders curtail voluntarily before Sept. 15 their present immoderate use of gasoline, they will bring about a steadily rising, price of more than 40c per gallon, or a system ' of rationing . effective in every state in the union. This is a warning from officials at Washington who are watching the diminishing supply. Approximately 10,000,000 owners of automobiles, power boats and airplanes would be affected by the rationing system. A tentative proposal of the refiners to cut down consumption thru an informal system of rationing throughout the country, to be applied entirely by the refiners themselves, though with the moral backing of the government, is now under consideration by government officials. . , ■ The gas situation now is declared to be more serious than it has been for months.

A POUND OF WORRY WON’T PAY AN OUNCE OF DEBT

(From the Portland dregonian.) My wife, Martha Anne, having left my bed and board and leaving nothing else because she took everything else away, I will not be responsible for any debts she may raise. With times hard and . prices high, I can’t pay my own debts, so I aim not going to worry about hers. You are out of luck if you trust her. I never did. Marvin Z. Pengilly.

WHO SHALL DOMINATE.

In his editorial in the Herald and Examiner Arthur Brisbane makes the following very pointed suggestions: , „ . . Cox says Republican senators, m opposing the peace league, are trying to “annex the President of the United States to their domination. Maybe so, but that would please Americans at least as well as to have Mr. Cox, as advocate of the peace league, annex the whole United States to the domination of Europe. , As between control of the United States by Republican senators and. domination by a European council, the people of this country would prefer the Republican however little they may think of 'Republican senators generally.

Senator Harding announced his presidential fight on “Labor, peace league, tariff,” As the fight will be against the peace league, that makes four American issues. The four may not be exactly idtml or complete from every standpoint, but they compare favorably with four such issues, for instance, as Bessarabia, Mesopotamia, Armenia, 81be To have a candidate for President of the United States apparently taking interest in things that concern the United States is a refreshing change from Czecho-Slovakia and the fourteen little points east of the Atlantic Ocean.

INDIANA CENSUS SHOWS INCREASE

Idiana’s population is 2,930,544 according to the 1920 census figures which were announced by the United States Census Bureau at Washington Saturday. The 1920 total indicates a gain of 229,668, or 8.5 per cent over 1910, when the population was 2,700,876. The bureau has not yet announced the rank of the state, so it is not known whether Indiana has advanced from ninth place, which was occupied by the state in 1910. Indiana -territory in 1800 ranked twenty-first among the states and territories and since that time has made steady advances in population. The growth in the early years of the territory was very rapid and in the decade from 1810 in 1820 the rate of increase in population was 500.2 per cent. The rate of increase gradually declined until in 1910 it was 7.2 per cent, the smallest in the history of the state. The largest numerical growth in population was during the decade from 1850 to 1860, when the increase was 362,012 and the state passed the 1,000,000 mark. ..The state passed beyond the 2,000,000 mark during the period from 1880 to 1890. The Census Bureau made an estimate of the 1920 population of the state in July and at that time placed the total figure at’ 2,854,167. The actual figures showed even a larger population than the census officials anticipated. Experts predict that the state will pass the 3,000,000 mark within a few years. 1
