WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS UPON PRESS Thinks Punishment Due to Those Who Print Misstatements of Facts.

(National News Association) SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 5. Gov.' Wilson gave the correspondents a few of his views today on the dally newspaper of the present time. "It seems to me,"' said the nominee, "that there ought to be some method of punishment meted out to those connected with the daily newspapers who are responsible for the misrepresentation and false statements printed. "Of course I realize the difficulty of the task set for the newspapers and I recognize the sincerity of their efforts, yet I cannot understand some of the things they do. "During the course of an address that I had made some years ago, I ventured the statement that in small communities public, opinion was developed in the crossroad store where the farmers sat around, chewed tobacco, spit in the sawdust and exchanged Ideas. "I said jokingly that no matter what might be said of tobacco chewing, it must be admitted it made men think, and that wherever you find men chewing tobacco together there you found the real public opinion of the country. "Imagine my astonishment the next morning when the newspapers came out ignoring the rest of my address and featuring what I had said about tobacco chewing, declaring I had said that tobacco chewing made thinkers, and imagine my horror when I found the story following me all over the country and getting worse and worse every minute until in a Dakota paper I was quoted to the extent of a column on the great advantages of tobacco chewing. And can you further imagine my chagrin when a big chewing tobacco concern made a photograph of One of the newspaper reports and printed it in their advertising. It was stamped as a college professor who was advocating chewing tobacco to develop the mind. 'A ccuibe i never could overtake such a story. For such work as this I think the publisher should be punished for that sort of thing is wrong." THE BRIGHT SIDE. Words of cheer are words of help; words of gloom are words of harm. There is a bright side and a dark side to every phase of life and to every hour of tin. If we speak of the bright side, we bring the brightness into prominence ; if we speak of the dark side, we deepen its shadows. It is in our power to help or to hinder by a word any and every perron with whom we come in contact. Which do you do 4 Braided Paper Cover for a Thermo Bottle.

Says Gotham Cops Are Honest

The yooog millionaire head of the New York police department ban steadfastly ignored the unanimous clamor of the New York newspapers that some action betaken regarding the charges against Lieut. Charles A. Becker, Id connection with the Rosenthal murder case. When Becker was finally arrested, arraigned and indicted on a charge of having planned and ordered the murder of Rosenthal, however, Waldo gave out the following statement: "The more this department is investigated the more confluence the public will have in its efficiency and honesty. It can not assume the responsibility for the acts of individuals." KHI.NKLANDEB WAL00RFST00 FAST Gave the Muncie Eagles a Terrible Beating. Four hundred interested fans saw a real exhibition of fast Bemi-pro ball yesterday afternoon when the Richmond Waldorfs tore up the championship aspirations of the Muncie Eagles, and cast them to the four winds. The score was 11 to 1, and the game one-sided. The Richmond boys played air-tight ball, and the Muncie Eagles seemed to know nothing but errors, scoring a bunch of the latter. Roop, playing center field for the locals, did the villian work with his club, lacing out two two-baggers. The team played together well and added their eighth scalp, out of ten raids. The Waldorfs claim the county championship, and may arrange a post season series with the Empires to decide the championship. Next Sunday they play at Rushville, Indiana. The teams lined up as follows: Muncie Eagles O'Neal 3b, Miltpn lb, Love lb, McCabe c, Hunter rf, Joyce cf, Parkins ss. Wooding 2b, Richardson p.

What most Impressed me In reading "Aunt Hulda's" story was her comforting belief that there are always the , means right at one's hand for useful employment, if only one reflects upon it in the right spirit But I was a city woman, which put corn husks out of the question and saved me from becoming an out-and-out imitator of "Aunt Hulda." However, I took her advice I sat down and tried to think the thing out in the right spirit Presto! came the Idea that braiding crinkly crepe paper would enable me to duplicate "Aunt Hulda's" success. Besides, I would have an added advantage In the many lovely colors and tints In which this paper is manufactured. I set to work at once to carry out the idea and the result was even more charming than I had anticipated, for the delicately-colored papers were amazingly effective. I designed endless shapes and forms, and besides being beautiful, the things that one can make of this . braided paper are pracUcal and ia the easiest fancy work to do that I have ever undertaken. First, you cut the crepe paper across the roll, never lengthwise, as it will not plait properly or look well. This, if course, leaves countless ends to be joined, but this is an easy matter, for one first overlaps them about an inch or an inch and a half and they are braided in. being careful to tuck under any little protruding edges. One may make any number of strands to a braid or plait but I have found that the three-strand braid is the most artistic and the

WALDO. FILES LAST REPORT Lee B. Nusbaum. Shows Condition of Public Schools. Lee B. Nusbaum, who recently resigned as treasurer of the Richmond city school board, filed his final report with the county commissioners this afternoon. The report consists of the receipts and expenditures for the city schools during the past year. Mr. Nusbaum has been the treasurer of the Richmond school board for many years and has served in a very efficient manner. His report in part is as follows: Special School Fund: Receipts, $568,758.86; Expenditures, $400,861.39, Balance, $16,789.70. State Tuition Fund: Receipts, $33,615.68; Expenditures, $21,690.39; Balance, $11,925.29. Local Tuition Fund: Receipts $94,385.82; Expenditures, $70,367.23; Balance, $24,018.59. Bond: Receipts, $34,798.95; Expenditures. $26,400.00; Balance, $8,398.95. Total: Receipts, $219,676.31; Expenditures, $158,543.78. Balance. $61,132.53. Rude. "Well," said Mrs. Bruggins after A solo by a fashionable church choir tenor, "if that ain't the rudest thing I ever 8a w!" "What?" inquired her niece. "Why, didn't you notice it? Just as soon as that young man began to sins every other member of the choir stopped. But he went right through with it, and I must say I admire his spunk." simplest and easiest to do. With a very little pracUce one learns to make a very even and beautiful plait After the braid is finished it Is sewn together with strong thread of the same color as the paper, the edges of the braid overlapping a little. It may appear to one looking at the objects that they are difficult to shape, but in reality it is child"s Play. A very few of the things I have made are shown here, and they can be easily copied for either holiday gifts or for things to sell at fairs. Two pretty table mats, made of a combination of colors, are shown here. The smaller one is made of a deep old rose and tan colored braids, and the larger one has a dull leaf-green centre, a row of tan colored points and an outer band of deep warm brown. The color effect is charming. One may make four or five such mats in an evening. They may be made of pure white paper as serving mats for the dining table and then they are Tery lovely, or in pale colors they are charming for bedrooms. A wery attractive work bag that looks most elaborate but is in truth one of the very simplest things to make. Is fashioned from four round mats of the braided paper and one square one for the base. These mats are ail made separate and then caught together. The square mat for the base has the silk bag part sewn to it securely and then the four round disks, caught together, are fashioned to it by tacking. I made one of deep coral pink, paper, silk and ribbon all of the same color, and Uie effect was nothing short of avisUag! One can easily make

WORKS BOARD HELD 11 MEETING TODAY

Several Matters Pertaining to Street Improvements Acted On. Several matters pertaining to streets were brought up before the board of works this morning. Because of the death of his grandchild, the child of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wintersteen, B. A. Kennepohl, president of the board, only took part in the meeting a short time. The petition for a modern pavement on South G street from Sixth to Seventh street was heard, and one resident owner being against the imtirnvpmont it u-aa rnn fi r m or! And fnt to council for its deciding action. The ! paving of the street will be of par- j ticular benefit to Hackman and Kleh- j foth, coal dealers, who have agreed to stand the greater part of the expense. Because of his thorough knowledge j of the bills, it was voted by the board j to "allow" city controller McMahan to j read all bills before the board of works in the future. The board received notice that two car loads of prairie hay would be sent here this week. The assessment roll for the improvement of North Eleventh street, from G to J street, was ordered. The board made a visit to North F street, west of Seventeenth street, where the Hoosier Drill company desires to cross the street with a switch for their new store yard, and decided to grant the company's petition. An agreement between the city and the seeding machinery company regarding the crossing was drawn up, and if favorable action is taken by the city council this evening, the switch will be laid in the near future. It is very necessary to the local factory to have the switch. Several other minor matters regarding street improvements came before the board. HUNTING FOR HEIR Of Late Joseph Litmer. $1,095 Awaits Him. Henry Litmer Overcamp or his heirs if they can be located in the old country have been made beneficiaries under the settlement of the will of the late Joseph Litmer to the extent of $1,095. J This morning Attorney Will Kelly filed the final report with Judge Fox and presented the clerk with a check on the Second National Bank for $1,095. This will be held for the heirs until called for as required by the statutes of the state. It is known that Mr. Overcamp has never been a resident of America and it is not known in what part of Europe he Is located, provided he is still living, j such a bag In one evening and it makes a beautiful gift In making bathroom slippers the soles are fashioned first; then the upper part is made and attached. 1 have found that it is more satisfactory to have the soles double: that Is. one makes two soles for How the Paper Strips Are Plaited. slipper and then they are sewn together securely after the uPPer part is put on. I have made a great many of these slippers in all sorts of colors They sell at once at a fair, for they are singularly attractive. If one cares to. one may put bows or rosettes on them, but I think they are play, for with the braid in one's hands the work proves very easy and one learns to ease or tighten the plait according to the shape desired. It really ia astonishingly easy to do. I have made all sorts of things out of these colored paper braids, and it seems as if I could so on

ACTIVE PART WAS PLAYED BY WOMEN

They Parade One Thousand' Strong to Progressive Convention Today. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 5. Women took a prominent part in the national convention today. They were present in greater numbers than ever before in the history of American politics. One thousand strong they paraded to the coliseum and when the doors were opened at 11 o'clock they marched through the main entrance, over which was hung the head of a bull moose. Behind a band with corn colored pennants fluttering and with many cheers for the cause of suffrage the marchers followed the autos containing the dele-j gates. Two huge streamers, 23 feet long, inscribed witn votes for women j in letters two feet high, were carried into the convention hall. A T TICKET IS CHOSEN Wayne County Members of Party Held a Picnic Convention, Sunday. The Prohibitionists of Wayne county at a picnic convention held yester day at Jackson park named a county ticket, to be placed In the field this fall. Three hundred members of the party were in attendance. F. W. Lough of Indianapolis addressed the assembly and after designating this a "tear up" year in politics, he predicted the doubling of the Prohibitionist vote in Wayne county at the election. The following election of candidates was made: Joint representative, Aaron Worth, of Fountain City; Wayne county representative. Will W. Cottingham of Fountain City; prosecutor, Zimri Hanson of Hagerstown; coroner, Dr. G. D. Bailey of Richmond; sheriff, Fred Storch of Cambridge City; treasurer, Orlando Marshall of Economy; surveyor, F. E. Teas of Centerville; commissioner, East district, Orla Hinshaw of Fountain City; commissioner, West district, Sanford Wilson, of Cambridge City. The Word -Slave - The word "slave" Is a word of brilliant historical antecedents. Its original, the Russian "slava," means glorious and Is the title of that race which subsumes the Russian people. But when the Germans reduced hosts of the Slavs to servitude their name, from malice or accident, as Gibbon 6ays, became synonymous with "servile." forever, like Tennyson's brook. Inventing new shapes. Attractive picture frames are made of the braided paper. This is an idea, however, that can be carried out in all sorts of shapes and designs. The square ones are very pretty, and then there are some in double form or even triple fold, standing up like a three or four-fold screen. One of the photographs shows a very practical object the cover for a thermos bottle. In making tnis I braided the paper .very tightly and used a pale, tan-colored paper that made it took like a basket of braided grass. It was most effective.
