Mr. Wllaon'a recommendation
(hat the national cam pal en be

It the League of Natloos were
the one laaue in the campaign,
there would of course be only one

The idea of a third term must

"To him that hath shall be

CornellVanderbllt built a nice
house in New York, reaching from
Fifty-seventh to Fifty-eighth
street on Fifth avenue. After he
built he wanted to change it, !?o
he tore town all the Fifth avenue
side. His architect put a wooden
wall as high as the house to hide
what was being done. In those
* primitive days they thought It
would not look so well to be seen
spending money profusely, merely
to change the look of a house.
Only a little while before, Mrs.
W, K. Vanderbilt, now Mrs. O. II.
P. Belmont, had taught her in
laws, the Cornelius Vanderbilts,
how to put a footman on the box
of jrour carriage, and butler with
white hair and silk calves in the
hall waiting for somebody to call.
Not so many called in those days.
When the great Vanderbilt house
was built, stretching a whole
block, everyone said, "That's a lot
of money to spend for a house."
It cost perhaps two millions.
Now, it is rumored, it will be sold
for five millions and a half. So,
may it comfort you, you learn that
the Vanderbilts all this thnc have
lived rent free.
Interesting is th* statement
that Marshall FW?1 & Company,'
of Chicago, are the buyers; Mar-1
? shall Field now means John G.
Shedd and James Simpson; they
own it
In those two men New York
merchants would hear from a cou
ple of mid-Western business men,
one middle aged, the other a young
gentleman with golden hair, both
full of the Chicago fury that al
ways goes up two steps at a time,
except when it goes up four.
There arc something more than
eight million automobiles in the
world, and more than six millions
of them are in the United States.
That is a miracle of industrial
achievement Another miracle re
sides in these figures: Only about
two million persons in the United
States tell Uncle Sam that they
have taxable incomes. Somebody
has forgotten something, or else
there are four million Americans
able to keep an automobile on less
than two thousand dollars a year.
; Five are expelled from New
York's legislature because they
are Socialists. This opens a new
kind of government, "By the ma
jority." Five individual Socialists
are not so important And being
fairly intelligent young men they
are delighted, knowing that their
party is getting advertising that
could have come in no other way.
The important fact is that hun
dreds of thousands of citizens, not
all guilty of crime, not all trying
to destroy the United States Gov
ernment, certainly are told they
cannot havo to represent them the
individual that they select, even,
though he be born in America,
and never accused of crime.
This is a new thing in majority
rule, and important.
Some patriots that helped expel
the Socialists say: "Socialists
would do the same to us if they
? could." Undoubtedly. They have
organized their party to do just
that But thus far they are trying /
to do it through the ballot It
isn't wise to drive them into do
ing it in another way. They tried
that fn Run fin
Go there and look for the Czar.

With Uncle Sam missing, the
Armenian mandate "may be of
fered to Norway." (Not wishing
any harm to Norway.) American
citizens will remember the story
about the colored nurse trying to
feed the baby on the street car.
It refused the nice rubber end of
the bottle. The nurse said, by
vrav of permasion: "Take it or I
will give It to the conductor."
Now the Allies say to Uncle
Sam about the Armenian man
data: "Take it or I will give it to
Norway." Well, give it to
Norway; Uncle Sam doesn't want
that mandate any more than the
conductor wanted the nipple.

Bride Pleads for Right
ToDie With Hubby Who
Helped To Kill Betrayer
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 10.?Love for her husband
brought the first sign of weakening today to Mrs. Pearl
Odell, eighteen-year-old bride of three weeks, who, with her
twenty-one-year-old husband, James Louis Odell, confessed
the killing of Edward J. Kneip in a lonely spot near this
city Wednesday night.
Wife Shows No Remorse.
Mrs. Odell showed no remorse oyer
the part she had played In the raur
er, but when told that her husband's
position was serious, she broke down
and wept, moaning:
"If he goes to the electric chair 1
want to go, too. I did It alone."
The girl wife burled her face In
her hands and rocked back and forth
upon her cell cot as she sobbed.
While Odell, In his original con
fesifon, declared that his wife was
the actual slayer, he told the authori
ties today that he wanted to exoner
ate her and take ail the blame him
self. \
Odell regained his composure and
spoke calmly as he told further de
tails of the murder, which, he again
asserted, was caused by a great |
wrong done by Knelp, to Mrs. Odell
before her marriage.
The "unwritten law" will be the
defense of the two youthful prison
ers, It was stated by Elmer 8haffer,
their counsel.
In addition to the confessions made
by Odell and his wife, the authorities
say they have corroborative evidence
In * statement made by Mrs. Ellen
Odell Arnold, mother of the hus
band.
Craltwfi Crist* 1 o Mother.
Mrs. Arlond was said to have told
the prosecuting attorney that, early
Thursday morning, Odell and his
wife returned home.
It was about 1:80 o'clock, Mrs. Ar
nold was said to have told the au
thorities. Mrs. Odell entered her
mother-in-law's bedroom and said:
"MoOuf. I have done It. I did it
alone. Louie had nothing to do with
It I slammed him."
Then, according to the officials, Mrs.
Odell calmly went Into details and
told all about the murder. She ex
plained that when Knelp was taken
to the desolate scene of the killing
It was on the pretense that he was
being taken to see Mrs. Odell'a
mother.
The Monroe cOdnty officials are
satisfied that the\ have ? complete
caa? aualnst Odell and his wife as
a fesi'Tt of the varloua confessions
i " identification of the two
l'i > < by two chauffeurs who were
In the driver's seat of the taxlcab In
which the victim was taken to his
doom.
The almost incredible details?how
the victim was clubbed and stabbed
and then left for dead, only to be
found later alive and conscious, and
how the finishing blows were given
and the body stripped?combined to
give the community such a shock as
it never had before.
District Attorney Love already has
taken steps to combat the "unwrit
ten law" defense. He said that the
State ha* ample evidence to show that
the crime was premeditated, and that
he could prove that Kneip had no
relations with Mrs. Odell after her
marriage.
v Both prisoners spent a quiet night
and slept soundly. After a hearty
breakfast they conferred with their
counsel. It was during this period
that Mrs. Odell began to manifest
concern over the fate of her husband.
Odell, who was nervous when held
for first decree murder by County
Judge Olllette, had recovered his
composure. The former sailor had
no hesitancy In telllng.^about the af
I fair until he was warned by his law
, yer.
Flashed Bndge On Victim.
"Knelp never asked me who I was
when I went to get him at the place
where he worked," said Odell. "I
Just flashed a phoney badge on him,
and told him he was wanted on a
charge of criminal assault. He asked:
?Who said soT* I replied, 'Pearl
Beaver.' That was my wife's name
before we were married. His face
turned red, and I knew he was guilty.
He knew that some one had some
thing on him. She was under age
when Knelp outraged her."
Had the murder oocurred twenty
four hours later than It did, It 4s
possible that it might not have been
discovered for many days. Just after
the body was found, mutilated and
nearly nude beneath a culvert, tha
worst snow storm of the winter swept
over this region. Nearly a foot of
snow fall, and the whole country
side Is covered
The authorities declare that Odell
and his wife had planned to flee, and
had the body been hidden by snow
they might have been able to get
away. ?

Marshal.
PARIS, Jan. 10.?Final ratification
of ths treaty of Versailles here late
this afternoon will not forever ban
ish war from a weary world. Marshal
Foch warned in an interview today.
"It would be foolish to believe there
will he no more ware merely becaua# I
we do not wish to flght," Foch de-1
clared. "France and the world must!
draw a leaaon from the struggle we I
hsve just Anished. It must be a les- 1
son of prudence with beat good will.
"War is not always avoidable. It
can begin upon the frontlera of the

gins easiest in such places. If it ia
true two are neceasary to mahs a

There are ingenious people who b?
lleve that to leave the key In the

War may no longer be called an
"art," Foch declared. It now la a
sclencs and an "Industry."
"War wljl be evolved Indefinitely I
as long as there are people to prepare
for It," the field marshsl continued.
"Those who wish to avoid violence
cannot afford to Ignore anything In
