west strong for wilsow Observer Finds Settlement of Arabic Case Has Won All Classes. Washington, D. C., Oct. 11.— A Government scientist who has just returned to the national capital after several weeks in the Middle West and Northwest, says President Wilson's strength among all classes of people in those ' Sections is remarkable. The President's strength is much more notable since the final settlement of the big issue raised by the sinking of the liner Arabic by a German submarine, which was formally disavowed in response to Mr. Wilson's uncompromising demand. The informant, who is not a Demo- i crat politically, says the praises of Mr. Wilson were sung in his presence by ] bankers, merchants, farmers, grain i dealers and professional men. Many i men who frankly said they were Re- i publicans in politics told the scientist I as he met them casually that they were i "strong for Wilson," and that he was i making "a wonderful President" in the < great international crisis through which the country has passed recently. | The work of this scientist took him to the larger centres in the "Corn >] Belt," and as far West as Utah. Every- T where he found all classes of men talk- g ing the same way. This was true in c Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Utah t and the Dakotas. j. Belief that no other name than that of President Wilson will be placed be- j fore the Democratic convention is the keynote of utterances by Democratic c politicians who are reaching Washing- ' t ton to be present at the opening of Congress. These men are bringing " word from the sections of the country It

telling of enthusiasm manifested all along the line for the renomination and re-election of the President. Representative James Mc Andrews, of Chicago, who was in the city today, stated that the popularity* of President Wilson is growing every day. "I do not believe any other name will go on the Democratic primary ticket," he said. "The primaries are to be held in Chicago the first Tuesday in April, at the same time the Presidential primaries in New York and Wisconsin take place." Wilbur W. March, Democratic national committeeman from Iowa, expressed the same sentiments as those of the Illinois member. "The President has captured Iowa," he said, "and if the election were held tomorrow there is no doubt in my mind that he would be reelected. I do not believe any other man's name will mentioned for the Democratic nomination. Tiie President will get the delegation from Iowa in the national Foreign Minister Exhausted. Paris, Oct.

a look at the^ EXCHANGE Varied Gleanings From the Columns of Our Contemporaries. Hobson's Choice ir. Mexico. The recognition of First Chief Carranzo by the United States and the Latin- American republics, now agreed upon, rests upon certain pledges by him which heretofore More Important, probably, than any promise that he makes respecting the rights of foreigners, general amnesty, religious liberty and a return to constitutional government is the fact that of all the Mexican leaders he alone is in a position to guarantee anything save mischief. It has been plain for many months that recognition must finally be accorded to the man with the best standing at law and at arms, whether he. is ih all respects acceptable to outsiders or not. General Carranza is unquestionably the head of the revolution which in the hour of its triumph broke into savage factions. Morally he has not gained since his rupture with Villa and Angeles, bnt neither have they. Physically his strength lias increased of late, while that of his adversaries has diminished. Recognition in such cases as this involves something more than sentiment. Neighboring Powers, especially the United States, have an Important duty in the premises. If the time has arrived when recognition is all that Carranza needs to control the political and military situation, he certainly is entitled to it, To justified by logic and, as we suppose, has been contemplated from the first. The wisdom of the experiment being conceded so far as foreigners are concerned, its success or failure in Mexico must now depend largely upon Carranza himself. His country has suffered beyond measure already from his stubborn pride and unyielding arrogance. At home and abroad friends and foes alike have been alienated and embittered by persona! characteristics not usually found in leaders who deserve to triumph. It happens, therefore, that Carranza has an opportunity that Huerta never had. Huerta was refused recognition becanse be was the direct beneficiary of assassination and despotism. Resorting to such methods, Carranza will find that, even with recognition, he will fare no better. The Vociferous Professor. Let us say it frankly, there is altogether too much foolish babbling on the , part of some professors. Their random public talk makes graduates nervous and . gets on the nerves of the college authorl- , ties. The trustees are not obliged to give , reasons for dismissal. It is enough that . an lnstrnctor is continually showing faults jj of taste, that he is making his college n little, or more than a little, ridiculous. re

N.O? Weil, Harold Lockwood, popular young leading man of the American (Mutual) studios, did, and, as Lockwood has frequently declared, it was the best move he ever made. To-day, Lockwood, who cast his first vote less than five years ago, is not only one of the most popular, but one of the highest salaried and most talked of stars in the motion picture world. Harold was on the stage for a while, and made a big success of it, too. But, like scores of other good actors, the movie men got after him and he simply couldn't resist. He played with several important companies before becoming affiliated with the American studios, in Santa Barbara, Cal. Lockwood's latest appearances are as co-star with the beautiful May Allison in "The House of a Thousand Scandals," a four part Mutual Masterpicture, and "The Great Question," a stirring drama in three reels, released in the regular Mutual program. tor-we understand that !>r.

Ha' i English diplomacy the best known case is' | that of Bulwer at Madrid, which may be | quoted as a sample of the treatment which , American newspapers would like to see , meted out to Dr. Dumba. Bulwer had, by i ":der. transmitted to the Spanish Govern- | meat iu 1848 an impertinent dispatch in I which the actions of the Spanish Gov- , ernment were strongly criticised Bulwer ; received a reply, stating, among other I things: "Your conduct in the execution of your important mission has been reproj bated by public opinion in England, cen- - sured by the British press and condemned , In the British Parliament. Her Catholic Majesty's Government cannot defend it I and that of her Britannic Majesty has not i done so." Whereupon Bulwer received his 1 passports with peremptory orders to quit the country within 48 hours. Bulletin Board Reflections. Due of the pleasantest features of the world series contests is the fact that the I issue lies between Boston and Philadelphia. New York and Chicago have been

accustomed to call these two cities slow. . Boston is the home (according to New York and Chicago) of nothing but stately culture, Every matt in Boston wears spectacles and carries either a gold-head-ed cane or an honr-glass-waisted umbrella. It must, of course, have been a strange incongruity for Boston to play baseball at alL In the case of Philadelphia the presumption of personal languor and superfluous dignity is even greater. Sleep and Philadelphia have always been regarded as synonymous. But alas for the' cities of the hustlers! New York and Chicago laggeiLputrageously in the leagues from the staW. The Red Sox were a sure leader even at the outset, and Philadelphia forged to the front with a steady tre'ad. In the respective leagues, the centres of switness and bedazziement were Boston takes Its share in the perils and glories of the world series battle with decorum, but by no means without emotion. The excitement is by no means confined to Washington street. Every club in the city is on the qui vive. The Back Bay is alert, and even to Beacon Hill the news of every successive step of the game is whispered by telephone. Venerable men whom New York and Chicago would call Brahmins, and who would honor that designation more than it honors them, hang upon each movement of Joe Wood's arm; and we may have a strong conviction that il Emerson, Channing, Phillips and Parkman were alive today they would be speculating profoundly on the relative merits of Alexander and Wood, of Rixey and Leonard, and exchanging the latest gossip about their condition.
