Subscription price, $1.60 per year In advance THURSDAY, J IMA 17. 1913 President Wilson's Good Work To one who ha followed the trend of political affaire In the Unit ed State during the past thirty years and observed how much of sub terfuge there has feeen In the conduct of men charged with the govern ment of the nation, the work of President Woodrow Wilson appears to be truly marvelous. Other men in public life have, no doulrt, wished to rule the nation well end many have, we suppose, resolved In thedr hearts to promote some reform for the welfare of the common, peo ple; but dt la a matter of fact with .which every student of politic la famJ:iar that when the pressure of those desiring special privileges from the government become strongest, many have surrendered to the Kif.:ntlc monopolies that have had a strangle hold on the nation: but not. so with President Wilson. In wpite of dire threats, he has gone bravely forward In his determination to secure legislation that will break the power of the fpeoial Interest and give the people relief from their exactions. The Herald earncjtly desires .to use whatever influence it may have In upholding the hands of the president In his wood work. Our confidence .in his ability and Integrity, which was firm before his nom ination at the ilaltKmore convet.p'.lon. lias been strengthened by events that have transpired sin" his inauguration. They said that he was a schoolmaster and would not he practical In the affair of the national government, na though erudition might be a hindrance; but it is found that his theories of good government are intensely practical, and this Is why the Interests tl.t have been the pets o: the government are o much ppesed to him and trying bo hard to block his way. We have confidence in his ability and believe him to be sincere in every fiber of hte being. Others have cried lustily for reform and have been loud In their 'protestations of reality to the people's Interests, the while their align ments have been such as to give ground for the suspicion that they were playing to the grand stand or openly brr.nd them as being Insin cere; but public confidence in the Integrity of President WHscn is so strong that his opponent dare not question it. They resort to other means in their opposition to the measures which he proposes. The call for reform, which within the las few years has become so loud as to demand the attention of even "practical politicians", does not come from only one ixl!'.lcal party, but emanates from the progres sive element of all partli. It Is the duty of all patriotic cRlecns, re gardless of political affiliations, to support the president in his efforts to secure the thing for which they have been asking, nd study close ly current evtaits that they may hereafter Intelligently decide, when the thne come for decision, who are the real friends of the people and who, If any, are trying to deceive them with bombast while playing In to the hands of the enemies of good government. r Obituary James Crelglvton Thomas of Cuba, UK, brother cf John W. Thomas, editor of The Alliance Herald, pass ed from the realnts of time on Tuesday, July 8, 1913. The Cuba Journal of last Thursday contained an obituary of more than two col umns from which the following Is -x traded: In the death of J. C. Thomas, Cuba loses a citizen who for Iwenty-five years expended his time and strength for the up building of the towu in which he lived. Next to hi family to which he was devotedly attached he loved the town of Cu&a. He gave Cuba the first newspaper ever published here and unit 11 poor health compelled hl.s re tirement in 190t. He was al ways a leader in any improve ment and the word "knock" was nut in his dictionary. A well read lawyer of ability, he loved the newspaper business o much that he gave little time to practice, probate work and consultation being about all he cared to handle. He would use every effort to bring waning parties and settle thc.r troubles out of court. Mr. .Thomas was a RLiierulld scholar, having graduated from HeUUng college with high hon ors. Two degrees had been con ferred upon him, but through his extreme modesty in never men tioning his own attainments, few tout his most intimate friends knew of the fact. While in col'.ege he made the acquaintance of Miss Annie Wag;afr, and after their gradu ation they were married, Decem ber 30, 1875, at Monmouth. Deciding to adopt the law as a profession, he prepared him self, and in 1877 he passed a successful examination before the supreme court at Mt. Vernon. In politics he wa a democrat nd was a great admirer ot W. J. Bryan. When muny of the prominent democrats of the coun ty deserted Mr. Bryan In lS!t, J. C. Thomas was on 9 of the loyal one who went out and made speeches in every school In Pulton county for Bryan and the democratic party. And though Ills party was badly defeated in the election, he had the satisfac tion of living to vote for a pres ident In aeicid with his views. During t'..e revival In the tCrrVtlan church while I).

Death was due to n arm of paralysis from which he had suf fered for a number of years. He was born in Jackson county, Oh io, on January 2, 1862. Mr. Thomas was ill seven years, and during that time his wife cared for him in a way so tender and loving that she won the sincere admiration of" all the friends and relatives of the family. Hall-Witham It la a rare pleasure for The Her ald to record the union in the holy bonds of matrimony of two worthy young people. For this reason it Is a pleasure to record the wedding of Miss Stella Wit ha m, formerly a teacher In the Hemlngford school, ami Mr. Jay E. Hall, a member of The Herald'B reportorlnl staff.

Boston re leased Jake Stahl, who haa been out of the game practically all sea son, with an Injured foot, whiteh he had operated on lately, and he has managed the team from the bench. There seems to have been a great deal of friction between manager end owners of the Boston team, hence the release of Stahl. The Chicago management traded John Beall and a catcher for Out fielder larry Chaffelle of the Mil waukee club of the American Asso ciation, giving 115,000 besides the two players. This makes Chaffelle the highest priced player purchased this season, also next to the highest priced player bought In the past in organized base ball, Marty OToole belrg the highest priced player, be ing bought for $22,500. Charfelle lhas been batting at a percentage of 456 in 81 games this season in the American Association. Besides his batting ability he Is a fast fielder. He wiill be assigned to left garden on the Sox team, "I1n' Ilodle go ing to center field. Hal Chase has been going good at bat since Join ing the Sox. He Is fielding well and has no equal in either of the major leagues when it comes to first sackers. Comlsky is surely getting the beft there Is. Just watch those White Sox frcm now till Oct. 5th. The next heavyweight match of Importance will be staged In New York August 8th, ten rounds be tween "Gunboat" Smith and Jim Flynn. In the lightweight division Fred die Welch Is matched to box Johnny Dundee 20 rounds at Los Angeles, August 15th or September 9th. Charley Ledou, the French champ Ion bantam, met defeat at the hands of Kid Williams In the sixteenth round. The body punches of Wil liams were too much for the French champion. Kid Williams will likely be matched to meet Champion John ny Coulon for the title in the near future. Just received, the following card from Bill Mounts, la this morning's mail: Mulvan.

Her par ents afterwards removed to Chicago. Illinois. Her father being a nephew of the Kinzle who laid out and own ed the original townslte of Chicago. When about 15 years of age she re moved with her parents to Nebras ka, settling on a homestead on Clat onlft Creek, In Gage county Nebras ka. She dded on July 9th, 1913, at 10:30 p. m.f at Denver, Colorado, ag'ed 64 years less 14 days. She was married to John W. Wehn New Years day, 1870. They lived la Beatrice, Falrbury, Dewltt, Wllber, Alliance and Bridgeport. Nebraska, In all of whtch places she leaves a host of friends to mourn her de parture. There were born to her and her hutband five children: Lillian, Dora, an unnamed Httle gtrl, Herbert an l Garland, only the hrst two survive to sympathize with and comfort their father dn this his great bereavement. The recent death of Lillian, Mrs. Reeves, makes this stroke so mn-h border to bear. Mrs. Wenn was converged and united with the Methodist Etdscopal church in the fall of 1868, at a. meeting held by the Rev. George H. Wehn, brother of her husband, since which time she has been unable to attend church continuously on , ac count of deafness. It Is still the be lief of the writer because of frequent conveTsaticns held with her la the years since her conversion that she never let go her hold on Christ for her soul's salvation.
