STRONG FOR THE PRESIDENT: — In a "straw vote" recently taken by the Literary Digest among officials of labor unions representing 110 trades, there is disclosed an overwhelming expression of opinion that by far the greater percentage of the voting strength of* organized labor will support President Wilson in the forthcoming election. Os 457 labor officials that reported to the Digest. 332 say that tht'ir members favor the president, forty-seven saf that their members favor Mr. Benson, the socialist candidate, while but forty-three find among their metnbers sentiment that favors Mr. Hughes. Thirty-four officials, according to this magazine, state a noncommittal attitude or a sentiment ' about evenly divided among those they represent. The figures'were collected and the opinions 'Obtained from the presidents, vice presidents and secretariej of organizations and from the leaders of central bodies in all the largo manufacturing centers of thirty-one states “from coast to coast and from Canada to the border.” Reducing to its utmost brevity the voluminous review the Digest pre-1 scuts of its findings, President Wilson is favored because of his own party’s record in congress in behalf of labor. The replies that favor Mr. Hughes appear to be based upon his supposed commitment t£ certain tariff policies, while the opposition, to him, which- is widespread and strong,, is rooted in his record as to labor, i His participation in .the supreme i court's decision against the Danbuty hatters figures distinctly as a cause of hostility.—Fort Wayne JournalGazette.

Q in Chicago the other day were X 0 freely given **the tight-hour day g X without reduction of pay and g Q time and a half for overtime.” S 8 What in the world are Repub- 0 Q lican candidates complaining X O about? Are they miserable be- Q x cause other folks are happy ? "WHERE WERE THEY AT?” The conspicuous thing about the , Indiana reception to Beveridge at his Chicago meeting was the absence of all the men who hold places as candidates on the Republican ticket in Indiana, and for whom Beveridge has refused to speak in the campaign. A surpmary of the telling points made by Mr. Beveridge in his speech are forcibly summed up in this paragraph: s “When true Americanism shall have finished its creative work and a new and homogeneous people shall appear among mankind, it will form a nation related to every other nation of the Occident. Thus it and it alone will be fitted to lead all the peoples of our blood to that union which must come if western civilization is to advance or even to survive.” “LOST HIS CITIZENSHIP.” The most sacred privilege of American citizenship is the right tc vote. The best exemplification of true Americanism is found in the performance of that duty which citizenship involves. Mr. Hughes, who 1 has not voted for ten years, prates much on “firm Americanism” and the “duties of citizenship." The Republican national press bureau, finding expression through the Indianapolis Star, assures the American public • that when a man becomes a supreme . judge he automatically forfeits his citizenship. Mr. Hughes should hasten to secure his first papers as an alien if he expects to resume citizenship before election time. ROOSEVELT IN THE CABINET. (Chicago Journal.) The Old Guard promised Roosevelt that if he will keep cool, they will give him a place where he can make things hot for the kaiser by and by. The chances are fifty to one that Roosevelt would accpet such a deal. He is an eminently practical politician, and not entirely without .a sense of humor. It would tickle him immensely to gain control of our foreign affairs. As to what he would wo* with the secretaryship of state, if he gets it, that, as old romancers used to say, had better be left to the imagination. It is enough to venture the belief that we should need all our new ships and soldiers, and need them quicklv. TO THOSE INTERESTED IN REAL ESTATE LOANS.

b I - - -- ■ 1 ' THE CLEANEST MANUFACTURED ARTICLE IN THE WORLD. Cleanliness and sanitary measures ■ are now so generally observed that we have come to regard a high standard of spotlessness all in a day's work. ] * Bat here's a common, every-day ar- ’ ticle made under condition' so exact-, ing that even a grain of dust is giv r. . respectful consideration. No. it is rp't ’ a food product. It’s a gas mantle, and ' the reasons for the ultra-ch aniiness I are interesting. c The gas mantle, like the house or [ building in which it is used, requires i a skeleton of framework for its con- ■ st ruction. This framework- for the ordinary mantle is composed of cot1 ton thread knitted nito tubular shape. ■ Recently an artificial silk thread was [ developed which make possible the long life and improved light of mantles of the "C-E-Z” type. > The fabric is washed and re-wash-ed until every trace of mineral impurity Is removed. After careful drv- ' ing it is saturated with a chemical I fluid. The framework has served its ! purpose in forming or shaping the ■ mantle and is now entirely burnt out i’o that nothing remains but a clierai1 cal ash. This ash. by a series of int genious and skillful operations, Is ' hardened into the finished product > and is boxed for shipment. Sounds easy, but here’s the diffi--1 culty, if, during the process of nrot duction, a single grain of dust adher- : es or becomes part of the chemical ‘ ash, the mantle is defective and t;:i ’ fit for use. Yau may be sure .hat : every precaution is observed by the i various manufacturers to minimize 1 the number of imperfect mantles. Hence the broad statement the • cleanest manufactured article in the I world. a— PUBLIC SALE. We will sell at public auction at my farm two and one-half miles southeast of Wren. Ohio, on Tuesday.
