WILSON BACKED
DEFENSE FOE
Word Shows Gray, Praised by
President, Fought 20 Pre
paredness Moves
Washington, July 2.—Declaring that
President Wilson's anxiety to bring
about the return of a Dt xiocrat from
the Sixth Indiana district to succeed
the late Judge Comstock "permitted
his regard for the faithful statement
of facts to be thrown into the dis
card," Representative Wood of Indi
ana bitterly attacked to-day a letter
written by the President. In the let
ter the President asserted Finley H.
Gray had supported the administra
tion during his previous service in the
House.
Gray was defeated in the primaries
by Judge Comstock. When the latter
died Gray ran against Representative
Elliott, the Republican candidate.
Gray had a notable record as an anti
preparedness man, a pacifist and an
off-the-reservation Democrat.
President Wilson wrote to a friend
of Gray the following letter for cam
paign purposes, under date of June 19:
I am very glad indeed to reply
to your letter of June 15 that the
Hon. Finley H. Gray throughout
his membership in the House has
given the present adminlstiatton
the most generous and cordial
support. It would afford me the
greatest gratification to see him
return to the House of Represent
atives. Cordially and sincerely
yours, WOODROW WILSON.
Representative wood outlined from j
the records nearly twenty votes and!
speeches in which Gray had opposed j
preparedness measures, in fact every
such measure advanced by the admin
istration during his services in the
House. Resuming, he said:
"Since the declaration of war with
Germany, a vast majority of the mem- |
bers on the Republican side or this
House have, unfailingly stood by the
administration in every step proposed
by it for the increase of the army and
navy and for the expenditure of vast
sums of money to accomplish the
same.
"In the consideration of all these
great measures there has been found
an entire absence of partisanship or
any attempt to obtain party advan
tage on behalf of the Republicans in
the House.
"Not one of these measures could
have been passed had it depended for
its passage upon Democratic votes,
notwithstanding the fact that the
Democrats have outnumbered the Re
publicans in this House since this ses
sion of congress began.
"in view of all this it is almost as
tonishing that the President should
find it necessary to write the letter he
did in behalf of the candidacy of Mr.
Gray. Especially is this letter as
tounding in the light of the facts as
disclosed by the Congressional Record
to which 1 have alluded.
"It seems passing strange that the
absence of partisanship, so marked in
the House at present, cannot be emu
lated by the President of the United
States."

LANE MAY QUIT
WILSON CABINET
Political Drive Seen in Attack
by Secretaries Baker and
Daniels
Washington, July I.—"A political
drive to force Secretary Lane out of
the Cabinet and to arouse public dis
trust of the nation's men of business
who have offered their services in
mobilizing the industries." That is
the Judgment passed oy friends of
the Secretary of the Interior on Sec
retary of War Baker's letter to Di
rector Glfford, of the Council of Na
tional Defense, which denounced the
tentative scale of prices agreed on
between the coal committee of the
council and the coal operators
week.
It '.'an be stated with certainty that
Mr. Baker's letter and the accom
panying announcement by Secretary
Daniels that he was "going to get
the cost" came as a complete sur
prise to Director GifTord; that Sec
retary Lane had no intimation that
the attack was forthcoming upon his
participation in the agreement, which
is the more pronounced because it
fails to mention him by name, and it
is doubted whether President Wil
son could have known about it o
sanctioned it.
On behalf of Secretary Lane and
the Peabody C'oal-Productlon Com
mittee of the Council of National De
fense, it is noted '.hat no attempt
had been made by them to tix a price
for coal which should appear to be
legal or binding until Congress
should empower some person or
board other than themselves to fix
a legal price. They had not de
parted one iota, it -is stated, from
the proper function of the Council of
National Defense and its advisory
commission to determine such meas
ures as may be practicable to stimu
late production for the national
emergency, and the question of price
Is bound up in the larger problem
of establishing greater output and
quicker distribution.
The maximum price of $3 a ton
for bituminous coal at the mines
might or might not be the price ul
timately fixed, but meanwhile as a
provisional price below the market
standard It was offered to the depart
ments because the factor of time and
increased output are of overwhelm
ing importance to the speedy con
duct of the war.
It is freely predicted that an issue
is raised in the attack of the Secre
taries of War and Navy on the action
by Secretary Lane and the coal-pro
ductlon committee that must result
in Mr. Lane's asking the President
either to vindicate his course or to
accept his resignation. Coupled with
this prediction is the assertion that
the attack is actuated by jealousy to
ward a Cabinet member whose ad
vice has hitherto been especially val
ued by President Wilson and who
has been especially strong in the
public estimation throughout the
country.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
By Mrs. Wilson \\ oodrow
Once on a "long railway journey
across the continent I fell into con
versation with a middle-aged travel
ing salesman, who proved to have
interesting views on many subjects,
and who showed himself to be a
shrewd observer of men and things.
I told him that I envied him his
opportunities of studying human
nature.
"One has to be up in psychol
ogy, that's true," he replied, "If one
wants to be a good salesman. Yet
why envy us on that account? In
one sense, all the world's a 'terri
tory,' and all the men and women
merely 'drummers.' Everybody has
his or her best 'line.' and Is doing
his or her best to make the 'trade'
think it's a little better at the price
than the goods their ccmpetltors are
offering.
"I'm trying it in my way, and
you in yours, and my wife, who is a
quiet, little home-body, is attempt
ing it in hers. I'm her 'trade,' don't
you see, and her job in life is to con
vince me that I can't find as much
solid comfort, enjoyment and amuse
ment anywhere on earth as is in that
little, old home of ours back East.
"Some 'Emma McChesney' she is
a- it, too," he proudly opened his
watch case to show me the photo
graph of a pretty woman holding a
chubby baby. "It would take a
mighty strong argument to make me
switch now from hor brand of cof
fee and buckwheat cakes.
"With other women," he con
tinued,. "the 'trade' they are after
is social position or admiration, or
a cause, or a job, or a husband,
and they work their 'line'—whether
it be beauty, or intellect, or experi
ence. or capability—for all they are
worth in order to make a sale.
"And men are just the same.
From the man with a Presidential
bee In his bonnet to the peddler
with his pack on his back, we're
all trying to put it over that ours
is the only geuine and undiluted
sure-fire stuff and that all other
makes are rank counterfeits and not
worth buying at any price. Believe
me, there's many a good drummer'
under the frock coats of our states
men, and a lot more among 'hose
who never lifted a sample case and
wouldn't know an order slip if they
were introduced to it.
"Like the salesman, too," he pur
sued his metaphor, "you'll find that
most people carry a side line. A
man on the road, you know, if he's
ir. clothing, will often work haber
dashery on the side, or If he's in
hardware, may also carry a line of
drug store sundries. And the funny
part of it is that he'll frequently put
more enthusiasm and more effort
into that side line than he gives to
his regular job."
"I can understand that." I finally
got a chance to get in a word, and
I made the most of it. "It's the
same principle that makes a child
indifferent to his wholesome bread
and butter, while he centers his soul
upon cake. One represents to him
the humdrum monotony of everyday
existence, while the other stands for
luxury aud indulgence.
"And that's what the side line rep
resents to the traveling salesman,
isn't it—the addition to his income
which permits him to gratify certain
extravagant tastes and fancies? No
very subtle psychology about the
matter. Even a baby will reach for
the sugar bowl."
"I suppose you are right," he
agreed. "The side line is where the
heart is. I'll wager that if you lo
cate the thing which holds a man's
strongest interest, you will almost in
variably find that it is carried as a
side line."
I turned the matter over in my
mind for a few minutes, and then
admitted that, so far at least as my
experience went, his assumption was
correct.
And isn't it very largely true?
The reporter as he plods on his
rounds is always dreaming of that
play or novel he has on the stocks.
The actor, as he moves through his
part, is dreaming of his farm and
calculating the price of hay. The
broker, as he watches the ticker, is
calculating the chances of the theat
rical venture he is backing. The law
yer is considering his game cf golf.
Nor is It always for pecuniary re
wards that the side lines are so
energetically pushed. More often
than not it is at a distinct sacrifice
of both money and comfort.
Take the sportsmen. Sir Thomas
Lipton is a fair example. He has
made the recapture of the America's
cup his side line, and to that one
object has devoted years of study
and planning, and the expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The political boss is usually re
garded as one who is working for
his own pocket all the time; and
where this Is true, it will be found
that he is generally less interested
in polities than in a racing stable,
or in breaking into society, or some
other side line. But there are quan
tities of men with political interests
in this country which impoverish
rather than enrich them, and whose
only reward Is abuse, loss of business
and the excitement of the game.
And so It goes. Men and women
will labor unthanked and unreward
ed to boost along some cause or to
advance the success of some asso
ciation, club or organization with
which they are connected.
But there's a reason, an instinc
tive one. Our fads are our safety
valves. In amusing ourselves with
them we are blindly but surely obey
ing the first law of life, self-preser
vation. A lot of the nervous break
downs are due to prolonged concen
tration on one's work. The side lines
are very often life lines. The people
who never take their minds off their
daily task, who live with It and eat
with it and sleep it, are the ones
who snap under the strain.
We Americans know far too little
of the art of relaxation. And by
relaxation I don't mean lolling about
in rocking chairß or throwing one's
self determinedly upon a couch with
the desperate intention of relaxing
one's mind and body even if one has
to die doing It. True relaxation
conies in stages. You first give your
entire time and thought and atten
tion to your job while you're doing
it. and then, knowing you have done
the best you could, you shed all con
siderations of it from your mind and
play Just as wholeheartedly.
People say they can't do it. But
they can, if they'll honestly give
their minds to It. It's purely a mat
ter of training.
An old man told me on one occa
sion that the bicycle craze saved
not only his reason, but his business
also. He said that a crisis in his af
fairs was faring him and it was nec
essary for him to make two or three
momentous decisions. He stood be
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Finally he became convinced that
whichever way he decided would be
the wrong way. and with the Imme
diate necessity for some move before
him. h? found it impossible to act.

Her parents knew she was here, she
said, but did not know her predica
ment.
"I have fine parents," said Marie,
"and I want to go back home."
"You've had your experience, have
you?" inquired Mayor Franke.
"Yes," replied" Marie, smiling.
"THat's the only way you can find
put anything; to go out into the
world."
Marie was in rather gay mood and
talked freely until Mayor Franke
asked her if she had money to go
back home. She said she did not,
but she expected to work and earn
enough to go back. She was then
told that her father would be noti
fied to send funds for her return.
Marie pleaded that no word be sent
to her parents. She didn't want them
to know. "That will complete your
experience." said Mayor Franke.
"You've left a broken heart in Leba

American Gun Crew Saves
Liner From U-Boat Attach
London, July 2..—The gun crew oP
an American liner tired upon two Ger

from the United States to England.
Both targets were at a considerable
range, but the report to Washington
of the commanding officer will ex
press the belief that one periscope
was shattered.
A third submarine was sighted, but
at a great distance, and it submerged
immediately.
The passengers expressed the great
est admiration for the marksmanship
of the American gunners as shown
both in practice and against the
enemy. One member of the crew of
the liner was tormerly a gunner in
the British navy, and he won applause
from the American gunners by mak

during the practice. On one occasion
the Americans made seven bullseyes
out of eight tries.

TAFT HAS GROWN THIN
Even since the war, and espe
cially since the famous peace-mes
sage leak last winter, there has been
a fear among the high officials of
the government that some one Is
going to get into their departments
and steal everything in sight.
As a result, it is almost impos
sible for an ordinary citizen and
some extraordinary ones to get Into
the places of public business here
abouts. One needs a big charge of
dynamite to break his way into the
state, war and navy buildings, un
less perchance he happens to be a
personal friends of Josephus Dan
iels or "Pknsy" Baker.
The other day a rather large man
drifted up to the main entrance of
the building and with a smile on his
face and a nod to one or two persons
standing about started to go into the
sacred precincts.
A burly policeman stopped him
with a "Hey, what do you mean go
ing in there? Have you got s( pass?"
"Why I mean no harm," replied
the big man, still smiling, "Do I
need a pass?"
"You do," replied the officer, and
then pointing to another man add
ed: "Go over there and tell that
fellow your name and vyhat you
want."
"Won't It do just as well for me
to tell you? I'm W. H. Taft, former
secretary of war, later president of
the United States, and now a profes
sor at Yale."
The officer looked at him a min
ute, decided to pass him, and then,
turning to another guard, asked:
"Was that Taft? I never saw
4hat guy around here before."—

The Rev. Mr. Asbury pointed out
to his hearers how important it was
that every possible mouthful of food
be saved and that economy should
be practiced in every respect. He
predicted a brilliant success for the
American arms if everyone co-op'-
erated in following the wishes of the
government.
