The echoes of President Wilson's message \to Congress, like the shot at Lexington, will be heard around the world. Reaffirming the American objective, and re-emphasizing the American de- termination that lias never wavered, he speaks in a manner that thrills with the magnetism, that can only > come frOni a mind and heart refined by a mighty purpose,-inspired by the sentiment of a Nation that ha s con- secrated itsel.f to the.noblest conflict that the ; world has ever, known. :: -'What lie says arouses th e Ameri- can spirit t o still higher and greater ..endeavor, gives renewed courage to -the faint-hearted among 1 us\ scotches the fangs of disloyalty, exposes the plaint of the pacifists to the con- tempt of their fellows, 'and rekindles into intense flame the hopes of peoples of foreign lands who have felt to th e utmost th e direful effects of the ruthless heel of an enemy's war system which ha s proved itself incapable of the most ordinary of humane feelings. With a diyeetness of expression that cannot be excelled, with a clear- ness and comprehensiveness of defini-\ tion that requires no analysis to, make its meaning thoroughly under- standable, and with a patriotic fervor a,s Ipfty .as i t is unquenchable, th e President has performed an added soi'vice t.0 mankind in his. reassertioji that every power and every resource of the United States will be exerted to the end that such people as want' /democracy shall be given it, and. b e protected from future war menace,- and that those who may still stand committed to the principles of horrid 'Prussian autocracy shall be excluded frpin. the company of all other na- ,tions. \Without -bluster) without^vindictive-, aess,- 'President'* Wilson' relights the pathway to a glorious achievement,, where the cherished virtues of liber- ty, equality and justice abide. , Placing Austria-Hungary in the war classification in which she prop- erly belongs, and thus simplifying the allied purpose of unification of war operation, the President does not fail to tell the people of the Dual ' Monarchy and of other Central Pow- ers that they ar e to be freed from the domination which Prussianism already exercises over them. It signifies the emancipation of the races of the world, .\just as Lincoln's proclamation aimed to free the black man in America from servitude; and who today in th e sacred atmosphere of such exalted rjurpose shall say that th e greater conflict for world freedom shall not triumph just as that important, but narrower one did in the long ago? President Wilson calls for victory: and he has not.called in vain. He Bays he believes he ha s the support of American sentiment behind him. Be has. His careful explanation that there is no intent to force upon the Germans a government they do not want, or do not organize themselves, ought t o prove even to those fatuous people our sincerity, ou r self-sacri- fice, and the world benefit that will come from, a hearty acceptance of the principles that the President enunciates. <! The Germans ma y welter in their antocraC3', if they insist. But Aus- tria-Hungary shall b e wrestled from, the Hohenzollern power; and th e people's of the Balkan States and Turkey must be freed. The German people ar e not to be compelled to become as the rest of the peoples of th e international sis- terhood after.the war; but they ar e Invited. They must come with clean hands, as it wera, and with mind freed from any idea of future con- flict; .and, if, they refuse, .they shall become.-as-.outlaws — be permitted to live within themselves, but interna- tionally 'ostracized. London, Paris, Rome and all cen- <be saved from the destr-uctibn, ;seem-; ingly impending, ' ... ' The President's message is a chal- lenging blow lupon the shield of the Goddess of Liberty, behind \which there shall be sanctuary ami succor for all. It js an inspiring- warning, to unite,, i'o suffer, to die, BUat the demon of Prussian barbarism that has made of the world a hell may be put down. It says that there shall be no bar- ren, Ineffective, dishonorable peace; no peace before the righteous exi-X. In th words of the. President; 'Our present and irnm.edia.tc task is to. win. the war, and nothing . shall turn us aside from it until it is accomplished. ., • Now t o the duty, all of us, with re- newed vigor. Maj.

Wtfsjring-ton, i)cc. 7„-r-Tt Was official-. ly.declared- yesterday at -the .Statife: ^Department that both Lieut' Cbfy Judson, hea<cl ,o'f the Ame'riea'n mili!-- tary missiim. in Kussia,/and Stiij. it , Gj. Ker.th, temporary lnilitary' attache ,at the American embassy, acted without instructions from \Washington in pre 1 -; senting- communications to the &°\ sheviki government on the attitude of the United States in thejiitbi't to efj- fect the separate armistice and pro- gram with Germany. Maj. Kertli's communication was a protest to the Kussian commander-in- chief against an armistice. Gol. .Tucl- son's communication was couched in. more lenient terms. The discrepancies between the two mystified officials and it was not made clear until Wed- nesday that the actions of the two officei-s, token in view of eireum- stanoeq, was not on instructions from Washington. The State Department Wednesday had no dispatches from Russia. It has previously been announced offi- cially that jthc^attitude ofythe'gov- ermnent toward the Bolsheviki, was one of tolerance, hoping to preserve what progress has ,;been made to'ward democracy in Russia, rather' than risk throwing the country back into the \hands of an rtutoeraey by drastic ac- tion.

Mi*. Curtis'states that the Gbuyerneur boys at camp are wjll\provided for and in. many cases were having such a good \time that they did not care to corrio home for such a short furlough Several of the Gouvernenr boys who' are there are looking forward t o a Christinas furlough of three or four days. ______ Corporal Kenneth Woodward of this section has been sent to th e base hospital with pneumonia, but his condition 'is improving daily.

Wil- liams of Port Ley den, county treas- urer, ha s been appointed state ex- aminer of municipal accounts by Eu- gene it. Travis, comptroller, and will assume th e duties connected with the position in the near future. The duties entail the examining- of city, village, town and county records throng-bout the state. Mr. Williams was elected county treasurer in 1013 and again in 1914. There are two years of his ^present term unexpired.- Th e vacancy\ caused by his\ leaving will , be. filled by ap- pointment b y the-' governor. Mr. Wdl-' liams was deputy treasurer for his father, Everett Williams, when the latter was county treasurer, and lat- er served as elerk of the surrpgate's court during the , Judge Carter in- cumbency as surrogate. Not a few of the women through- out ifeiIers.on comity who .are entitled to 'vote from now on ar e giving, the \Merry ha, ha,\ t o Chairman Archie C. Ryder of the Republican county committee. Chairman Ryder has at- tempted to extend to them the glad : hand and t o welcome them into \liis\ ; party, pei-.mit thenij if you please,, to •attend the meetings of the. county connuittee, over ,i\v>hich he presides.' Welt they might 'give him the. laugh, in view oi'.the position he has .taken in the past' and the letters that he has written to the press hi opposition! to the granting of stiff rage' to th'e ; [gentler sex , I'lifiy laugh at Mr. Ryder for the statement that he now makes urging, then'i t o get into th e G. O. P.^party, just to come in as spectators,, if you. please. Some of them do not hesitate' to soy right out loud that they \have not got to. g o i n at-the-invitation of, the chairman, who b y the way was not a member of the committee when lie'was elected as the head of it, for they can, if they -choose, another year-, when they, have become en- roli'ea, ig-o rig-ht out and take th e pai'- ty machinery away from. him. , In many districts mig-hty few votes were Cast;' for th e county committeemen• and*with a little effort on the part of the women they could bring about the election - of . A sufficient number of '. '.their members to .just gobble the Re- publican county ; committee, elect some woman to preside and take the, whole thing right out. of the hands of Chairman Ryder and those who . have seen fit to boss the party th e past few years. Many Rexmblicans who went t o the polis on primary da y and voted for one of the candidates for sheriff, for that was where the Whole fight in the Republican party centered, forgot Ml aboilt vqting for a member of the county ^committee. It is safe to bredict that there were many who voted in this primary who did not vote' fo r th e member of the county committee designated, failed to vote because they were not satis- fied with the person designated. May be if some woman had been desig- nated they would have all voted for . her. And even with this situation staring him in th e face, Chairman Ryder invites -them to the commit- tee meetings. Another year may bring-,-forth -soihe developments that Will- make interesting pplitiqai .read- ing. '- ' \ :'. ' • . •-•.\.' - ' ' * * *, The, Democrats tlu-ouguout the ^tate seem to be- .more jiilfiiant, po- litically.,, than-they have been; fo r years. They see the end of Gover- nor ^yi^tman. s and ;the .rest, of th e Re- publican, idmiiHstration anotheit year.

The attitude of the Republican State, committee headed by George A.. Glynn, against woman suffrage, has prompted th e belief that most pf the women who fought the fight, wili line up, with x the Democrats against the present administrative oflicers, An effort is being- made by Syracuse Democrats to have the conference of big Democrats held there, when they will inaugurate the Democratic gubernatorial cam- paign. •William H. Kelly, head of the Onon- daga organization, will probably go to New York this week t o take the matter up with the Democratic parly chiefs. Charles P, Murphy,\ the Tam- many leader, has always been rather partial to Syracuse as , a meeting place. It was a t Syracuse where former Gov. Martin A. Glynn sounded the keynote speech for the re-elec- tion- of President Wilson. It is ex- pected, therefore, that little trouble will \be encountered providing the party leaders have not made a final decision. It is proposed to map oxit the campaign by which the , Demo- cratic leaders expect to defeat the G. G. P. in the- coming gubernatorial fight. , It is known that the down- State leaders, who will doubtless dominate the Democratic primaries, are convinced that they can win next yea)-. The Tammany chieftains in par- ticular have told politicians who have talked with them that th e Tammany district Captains will line-up th e new women voters'' and \that .New York •eityiiext yearishould give the DeinpT -cr-atie .gubernatorial candidate at least 2a0j000,'',jplura-iity..

The Democrats, will make much of the fact that'it was Senator Rohert; P. Wagner,, head of the Tammany , delegation in tlie Senate, who fought 'Governor Whitman; t o a finish- and with the aid- of . a few vptes which ,the farmers; were able t o . muster finally defeated Perkins, it ••is planned to have every county leader in the State -.present his, local,',sittia-« tion so the State-wide situation <can; be thoroughly. canvassed. If- the down-State leaders find the situation' favorable up-State it is believed that the State will see one of the hottest ea-inpaigns in its history next. year. Democrats count much on the pres- tige of President Wilson t o help in the coming- campaign. The problem, of course, is t o find an attractive can- didate who would be satisfactory to the President and t o the down-State ieaders. Up t o the present that can- didate has not been found.

That' tlie county of Jefferson will not enter into ,'a Contracts with- the Onondaga County Penitentiary or any other penitentiary for the board of county prisoners seems probable. The report of the committee to whom bills for the.board, of 'prisoners the last year at Jamesville had been re- ferred, reported bills presented in the sum of $3,627.41, of which the full amount had been allowed. Last year the rate was $3 per week and the coming year th e penitentiary authorities -have set their figure at $4 atid no iess. This means that with, the same- number of prisoners for the. same number of wqeks .that the caunr, ty would be obliged t o payi.aljout, $5,000. \' \ ir The supervisors figure that fhey- can board the prisoners here for- $2j a week or'thereabouts and-that t o send- the'mi 6'ViSr \there would mean the pay-, ing of double what they can be kept at the county jail fori No .actvop. .has ye v '.;bpen taken, on the offer, \ Jainesvi'lje. peniten- tiary, but if the\ motion is 'made in this respect, it.is expected that the sentiment will' h e almost. unanimous in fa.vor of- having- the .prisoners sent to the .county .jail. , LIMERICK.
