Collegeville Items.

Tuesday afternoon Senator B. F. Shively came out to the college and gave a brief address to the students. He laid great-stress upon the fact that more educated men ought to enter politics. Judge Hanan, who accompanied him, also made a strong address. His theme was the great advantages of a thorough and trained education. Mr. Honan introduced the speakers.

The A. L. S. held their first regu-, lar meeting Sept. 29. The principal business was the election of officers with the following results: president, John Monahan; vicepresident, John Hoffman; Secretary, Cletua Reidlebach; treasurer, Pad! Fogarty; Marshall, Edward Masheck; standing committee, Joseph N. Lqutkemeier, John Gabel, John McGahey. A large number of names were presented for admission to the society.

The C. L. S. began their work for the present term last Sunday when they held their first regular meeting in the college auditorium. The main business before the house was the election of officers: Otto Mueller, president; Harold Moran, Vice president; Williams, treasurer; Joseph Lill, secretary; Thomas Harrington, critic; Charles McArdle, Michael Petzold, Joseph Gordon, Constantine Pettigrew, Geo. Horan, James Fitzgerald, advisory board; Leo Gnau, Leo Landall, John Zellers, executive committee; Leon Vesque, marshall; Eugene Olmor, J. Zellers, masters of properties; Herman Goldschmidt, librarian. Rev. I. Rapp addressed the members briefly on the work that would be expected of the societyT Mr. E. P. Honan, who will again conduct the parliamentary law class, spoke encouraging words and admonished all to strive to attain their end by working with vim and energy.

Sunday afternoon the North Side Juniors again defeated the South Side Juniors in a game of baseball 6 to 10. At the same time the All Stars were lined up against the Religious. The game was highly interesting, mostly because of the good work of the pitchers, Lill and Landoll. The All Stars counted four in the first inning, but after that they failed to hit and their scoring was ended. The Religious scored two rus ini the sixth off two hits and two errors. In the eighth on a wild throw that should have been the third out, thee* scored one and tied the score. Thus the game stood When it was called at the end of the tenth inning because the evening shades were falling low.

The following visitors were with us during the week: Thomas Maloney, Tefft; H. M. Burns, Chicago; Miss Clara Busse, Cincinnati; Mrs. J. Delor, Sandusky, Ohio; Miss Anna M. Stander, Chillicothe, Ohio; Miss F. Brown, Chillicothe; Mrs. Frank Whitcomb, and daughter, Miss Helen, Shelbyville; J. Foley, Kokomo.

The Danger After Grip.

lies oftne in a rund own system. Weakness, nervousness, 'lack of appetite, energy and ambition, with disordered liver and kidneys often follow an attack of this wretched disease. The greatest need then is Electric Bitters, the glorious tonic, blood purifier and regulator of the stomach and liver and , kidneys. Thousands have proved that they wonderfully strengthen the nerves, build up the system and restore to health and good spirits after an attack of grip. If suffering, try them. Only 50 cents.

COLONEL IS CRAFTY

AUDACIOUS EFFORT TO CORRAL ALL THE PROGRESSIVES WILL PROVE FUTILE. SHOWS WILSON’S STRENGTH Roosevelt Presumes on Ignorance of Hls Hearers and Readers When He Says Bosses and Representatives of Privilege Are Flocking to Democrats.

Colonel Roosevelt, with that aggressive audacity so‘ strongly characteristic of his nature. In the effort he is making to stampede progressive Republicans who are disposed to stay with the regular organization and then under the cracking noise of his own whip to corral them in the Bull Moose pen, is giving testimony of the growing strength of the Democratic nominee.

For instance, in his speech delivered before the state Progressive convention at Des Moines, he is quoted as saying that he found everywhere among reactionary Republicans a growing purpose to support Woodrow Wilson, on the theory that President Taft was beaten already, and that the only hope of preserving the old parties was to support the Democratic ticket and defeat the Progressives. He then added: “Where Mr. Wilson is getting support of that type, we have the right to ask independent Democrats who believe in the principles for which Democracy nominally stands, to come with us. I ask every Democrat who really believes In the right of the people to rule to come with us, for every representative of privilege, every boss is going to his side." Of course, in making this statement, Colonel Roosevelt was presuming upon the ignorance of those who might hear or read his utterances, for, as Col. Henry Watterson has well Bald of him, “intelligent 'persons who chance to be led, by interest or by curiosity, to attend Roosevelt orations will feel that their intelligence has been insulted, or that the orator should be attended by a keeper." True, Republicans as well as non-partisan voters, are flocking to the support of Governor Wilson, but none of those Republicans are reactionaries or standpatters, as Colonel Roosevelt well knows. He is thrusting forward a puan of straw to frighten Progressive Republicans away from the support of President Taft. Especially audacious is his assertion that "every representative of privilege, every boss is going to his (Wilson's) side,” when the fact has been indisputably established that the two biggest and brazenest representatives of special privilege in the world, the steel trust and the harvester trust, are the inspiration and chief support of the new party movement. Without the influence of these two concerns In his behalf, Teddy would hardly be known in the running. The truth is. Colonel Roosevelt is both an opportunist and a Jesuit in politics. He seizes upon the present time, when discontent is general in the land over the effect of policies for which he himself is partly responsible, as the opportune moment, with the assistance of the dominant trusts of the age and by making platitudlious promises to gather the army of discontented to his standard and augment this strength by fooling others who have admired his wonderfully vigorous personality, to again ride into power, only to be dislodged by revolution.

PROTECTION; HOW IT WORKS

Rhode Island, a Tariff-Made State, as Described By Miss Ida M. Tarbell. "The doctrine of protection Is worth looking at as it works,” declared Governor Wilson at Easton, Pa., the other day. He added, in characteristic phrase: “I haven’t any reverence for any economic doctrine whatever —except as it works.” How does the Aldrich doctrine of "protection” work? Ida M. Tarbell Is admittedly one of the foremost tariff experts who have taken sides with the people In the tariff controversy. She is a sober, thoughtful student and writer, whose conclusions, though often annoying to some highly-placed gentlemen, have almost invariably been found correct. Here Is whht Miss Tarbell says of that “tariff-made state,” Rhode Island: “This, then, is high protection’s most perfect work —a state of half million people, turning out an annual product worth 9187.000,000; the laborers in the chief industry underpaid, unstable, and bent with disease; the average employers rich, self-satisfied, and ah indifferent to social obligation as so many robber barons. It is an industrial oligarchy madfe by a nation's benficence, under the mistaken notion that It was working out a labor’s paradise. ... It is feudalism, and not even benevolent feudalism.” No one can question the justioe of Governor Wilson’s statement, that economic doctrines are to be judged by their works. By their fruits ye shall know them. The fruits of the Aldrich tariff are bloated fortunes, corrupted polities, enhanced cost of living.

The Wisconsin Progressives.

If the Progressive Republicans of Wisconsin are to maintain the integrity and efficiency of their movement,

they will not only continue to follow Senator La Follette in utter disregard of any false god, but they will vote, as the senator has frequently voted, for principle irrespective of artificial party lines. The hope of the Progressive Republican cause lies in the stanch, uncompromising leadership of men like Senator La Follette, of men Who for the mere sake of gaining office will neither change principles as they would a suit of clothes, nor will profess one thing when they really believe another. In the coming campaign the fight is one of principle. Principles are unreal. The fight is not between this party and that party; it is between Tories and Progressives regardless of party. Among the presidential candidates there is only one man who has shown by deed as well as by word that he Is a thorough-going Progressive, with ability to do things. That man is Woodrow Wilson. He deserves the support of every voter, Republican, Democrat or independent, who believes in interested public service and desires the general welfare.—Milwaukee Journal.

PRESIDENT AND THE VETO

Taft's Wholly Unnecessary Defense of the Function Which He Has So Misused. Mr. Taft at Columbus, 0., undertook to convince an audience that the veto is a good thing. As if it had ever been questioned! The president at times seemß afflicted with literal myopia. * Mr. Taft has vetoed every measure calculated to bring relief to the people from excessive living costs. The wool bill, the cotton and steel bills, the meat bill, the farmers’ free list bill, all were killed by Taft’s veto. He has perpetuated the plundering of the people. And his defense is an academic discussion of a presidential function constitutionally bestowed. To be sure, those bills came from a Democratic house. But it was to that same Democratic house Mr. Taft’s reciprocity measure was committed. The Democratic house might, in effect, have vetoed the president’s bill. But It didn’t. It thought that the bill would serve the people’s welfare. The Democratic house forgot politics and undertook the public service. The president didn’t. President Taft might have vetoed well. Had he vetoed the Payne-Ald-rich tariff bill he would have been a maker of history. Great opportunity has been his. The qualities of head and heart that make for greatness are not bis. He has vetoed his own succession.

McHarg Now Among the "Bosses.” Ormsby McHarg, one pf the managers of the late Roosevelt campaign, has announced that he will support Mr. Taft. He says: “I supported Colonel Roosevelt as a Republican, having no notion at that time that be was anything else. I was bitterly disappointed to find later what his real Intentions were. I am under no obligations to him or anybody else, however, to get out of the Republican party, and do not intend to do so. . . I believe there is absolutely no future for the new third party beyond Colonel Roosevelt. If the new party expects to live it have to take out a life insurance policy on the colonel’s life. Their cry of “fighting the bosses’’ is already being dissipated, by the winds of public opinion. I do not think that Penrose Is a bit more dangerous than Flinn, and some of the other so-called Republican bosses have quite as good a standing Wfth the voters as has Mr. Perkins.”

Of course, McHarg has, by his action, ranked himself with the bosses. For we know that a boss is a man who opposes Roosevelt. Woodruff was a boss till he came into the camp of the third termer, and so was Flinn. But they have gone through a process of sanctification. It is precisely so with McHarg. He was not a boss when he was doing for Roosevelt the work of a boss. But having broken relations with “the only perfect man” he necessarily sinks to the boss level. We, therefore, fully expect to hear him denounced as an exponent of “crooked politics.” Even Penrose was “all right" when he was running Roosevelt's campaign in Pennsylvania.

McHarg’s View of Roosevelt.

McHarg may have Roosevelt because he would not follow him out of the Republican party, and he may have substantial reasons for deserting him. It is to be remembered that McHarg went into Roosevelt’s service after denouncing him as the most dangerous man In our political life, and declaring that he would not vote for his candidate for governor of New York two years ago.

T. R. and the South.

Having failed to abate a crying political nuisance while he had the power to do so, few thoughtful persons are disposed to take as more than *a demagogic appeal Mr. Roosevelt’s present protestations of regret over conditions which he indorsed with perfect fortitude so long as he was a conspicuous beneficiary of them. Powerful as is the bid he has made for the southern vote, there is such a widespread distrust in this section of the country of the stability and

LESSON ON TARIFF

HOSIERY SCHEDULE SUPPLIES CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF ITS PRACTICAL EFFECTS. PROTECTION RATE TOO HIGH Labor Cost of Production In This Country Little More Than in Europe Notwithstanding Difference In Wages.

We have received the following appeal for light on the tariff: “Is this the Democratic idea of the tariff: That if the tariff is taken off hosiery the American product will be undersold by the German because it can be produced cheaper in that country than it can !n the Un'ted States? Would this be true of all things now carrying tariff?”

So far as we are aware, the Democratic party has never made any declaration on hosiery, but we are glad that item was specified, because it affords a peculiarly clear and intelligible illustration of the practical effect of the tariff. Hosiery worth a dollar a dozen pairs in Germany is taxed under our tariff 60 cents and 15 per cent., or 75 ceDts. Omitting freight and commissions and incidental charges, this hosiery, then, could be sold here for $1.75 a dozen. The census bulletins show that in hosiery the wages constitute about one-fourth of the value of the product. On domestic stockings worth $1 76 a dozen, therefore, the total labor cost would he about 44 ceuts. The position of the manufacturer, then, is that where he pays 44 cents to his working people he gets 75 ceuts of protection. The Democratic party does not believe that he needs any such rate of protection. The labor cost of production in this country Is little more than It is in Europe in any Hue, and in many lines it is much less. In the last fiscal year we exported more than a billioD dollars’ worth of manufactured goods. In July more than half of the exports were manufactured goods. Of course, if It cost more to produce manufactured goods here than In Europe we could not export on any such scale as this The employes In our machine shops get better wages than the men in foreign machine shops, and yet we exported machinery to the value of $115,000,000 in the last fiscal year. Of course, the Democratic party does not believe that lowering duties would close our mills and throw all our people out of employment. If it did it would not advocate reducing duties. The reports of the tariff board show, what students of economics knew before, that the labor cost of production is often lowest where wages are highest. There Is a book on the efficiency of labor, or the relative costs of labor where wages are high and where they are low, by Jacob Schoentaoff. There la a volume of lectures on “Work and Wages” by Lord Brassey, and another book by hint on a similar subject, which, of course, have no specific reference to our tariff, hut are all the more valuable for that reason. They are dis cussions of the greater economy oi high-priced labor, ixtrd Brassey’s father built railroads in every part oi the world, and he found that it made little difference in the cost of construction whether he paid a shilling in India, four shillings in France or six shillings in England; if there were any difference the cost was lowest where the wages were highest.
