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.

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.

tCrrVtlan church while I). E.

He joined the Odd Ke'lowi
when twenty-one years of a;e
and had been a member '"ontin
uously for over forty years. He
was also a member of the Mod

Following is a brief extract from
the Abingdon Kodak, published at
Abir.dcn, 111., where the debased
attended school and resided several
year thereafter:
.Tunes Creighton Thomas, aged
61, founder of the Loudon Time
and the Cuba Journal, lawyer,
politician and a prominent resi
dent o Illinois. cMed at his home
in Cuba, III., on Tuesday night,
at 10:30 o'clock.
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

bonds of matrimony of two worthy
young people. For this reason it
Is a pleasure to record the wedding

AFFAIRS
Edited by DOC

There have been many Important
changes In the past yeeK In the Am
erican League, principally the Bos
ton and Chicago teams. 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. Kans., July 14. 1913.
Bates Copeland, Alliance, Nebr.
Still on the go. Within ten miles
of Oklahoma. Hotter than .
Box Butte files a plenty here, wat
er not fit to drink and can't get
anything else. BILL.
- The congenial bunch of cool drink
dispensers ot Crawford were guests
of the Alliance boys Sunday, com
ing down on 41. The afternoon was
spent in entertainment, Includlncr
Lve hundred, in which Crawford took
the prize. The visitors were treat

In the even'ng.

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

hutband five children: Lillian, Dora,
an unnamed Httle gtrl, Herbert an l
Garland, only the hrst two survive
to sympathize with and comfort their

The recent death of Lillian, Mrs.

meeting held by the Rev. George H.
