The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender.

A CHEAP POLITICAL TRICK. The most astonishing document ever issued ' by an American president Wilson's appeal for votes last night has amazed the people of the United States. The president on the eve of election has said in effect that this is his personal war and that the people of this country ought to elect democrats to congress even when they have not supported his war measures, but just because they are democrats. Wilson admits that the republicans are pro-war, that they are loyal enough to fight and die. loyal enough to take up great loans and loyal enough to pay great war taxes, but they are not loyal enough, he as much as says, to be trusted with any share in the government of the country. Nearly all the great dollar-a-year men at Washington are republicans; the democrats have all the fat salaried jobs, yet the president appeals to the people of the United States and begs them not to vote for republicans next Tuesday week, because he says in effect if they do Germany will say that the republicans want to see Germany win. For the first time in nearly two years the war has been shoved into the background and politics dragged to the front. President Wilson obviously is tired of the war and wants a change of diet. The republicans henceforth need have no fear of discussing politics. In fact, the president has challenged them. When several months ago Mr. Wilson gravely announced that '"politics is adjourned." the republican party, America first, last and all the time, acquiesced. They did not argue or even remonstrate, but cheerfully- refrained from carrying out their campaign following out Mr. Wilson's wishes. Tom Marshall down at Indianapolis, petty politician as he is, had emitted a squeak that "THIS WAR IS A DEMOCRATIC ASSET," but the republicans paid no attention to that, for everybody laughs at Marshall any way. The astonishing and bitter indictment of the republicans by Mr. Wilson, we predict will be answered early in No Tember. We would like to know where the republicans could have backed up this war MORE THAN THEY HAVE DONE. We would like to know in the cities of Lake county who have taken off their coats since this war started and loaded on their shoulders the burden of all the money-raising for the war loan after loan, drive after drive, fund after fund, but republicans? We would like to know who in congress but the republicans have more loyally supported this war? We would like to know who has given the president his majority support but the republicans? We would like to know where MR. WILSON AND HIS WAR MEASURES WOULD HAVE BEEN BUT FOR THE REPUBLICANS? We would like to know how it will encourage Germany to have elected republican congressmen who are against negotiating for peace by diplomatic notes, who DEMAND UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER? President Wilson has made the one great mistake of his life. He has cast aspersions on a political party, synonymous with freedom and liberty; a party which saved the V nited States from a hideous slavery; a party whose slogan is loyalty and patriotism; a party whose dead heroes lie sleeping in every graveyard in the country because Ihey fought for the union; A PARTY WHOSE YOUNG BULWARKS BY THE HUNDRED THOUSAND ARE GIVING THEIR LIVES IN FRANCE TODAY NOT BE CAUSE THEY ARE REPUBLICANS BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE AMERICANS.

,'i-i;p.)hit;ons that a federal official has ever undertaken to handle. People nowadays are surprised at almgst nothing, md have come to display only momentary interest in :iu matter of who runs the railroads, telegraph or telephone lines, or other public utilities during the war period, and they even submit, without serious mental agitation, to the proposition of having the government fix the price of wheat and other necessaries, and limit their rations of sugar and other foods as much aa may be considered necessary. But it certainly gives one an awful jolt when a public official goes to the extent to which our National Railroad Director has gone in prescribing just exactly what every one of the millions of our people who travel .shall eat for dinner whenever thoy are so unfortunate as to be compelled to ride on a railroad train. Of course when our national supply of any particular kind of food is inadequate or when, as in the case of certain kinds of meat, the needs of our soldiers require that civilians reduce their consumption of any given article, the public, as has been demonstrated, is perfectly willing to substitute other foods, but we are hardly prepared to believe that the condition of America's food supply is such that it is necessary for anyone to lay down a hard and fast rule as to the precise kind and the exact amount of food which each person who travels throughout the United States shall eat for dinner. Mr. McAdoo may be very fond of tomato soup of the kind that was prescribed for the unfortunate traveling public on the second day of his remarkable experiment in districts; but why compel millions of weary travelers to eat something which three-fourths of them do not relish, when oysters and many other kinds of soupmaterials are abundant and readily available? Moreover, while Mr. McAdoo may like "apple tapioca pudding." such as was provided for the same eventful day even though the pudding has only a microscopic bit of apple and even less tapioca it is certainly expecting too much to ask people to submit without a murmur to our august Railroad Director's epicurean taste for such in sipid and indigestible conglomerations when there is no scarcity of material for desserts wheh are both wholesome and delicious. Mr. McAdoo's intentions are doubtless beyond reproach in this matter, and the time may come when our food supply will be so scanty that some such rationing is necessary, but until that unhappy day arrives, for goodness sake, Mr. Railroad Director, please don't feed the traveling public from a common trough like so many swine! Of course we are deeply interested in the conservation of food and labor, but we feel that it is also Important to conserve health and good nature.

NO HAND-PICKED SENATORS WANTED. To sum up, the indications are for a Republican gain in the senate; an impartial estimate is that the Democratic majority of eight will disappear and the parties stand even. The Democrats, and especially President Wilson, expect the next senate to be close that is the reason why the president is so determined that not Democrats merely, but thick-and-thin Wilson Democrats, si all be elected. If the extraordinary war powers of tie executive aie to be extended into peace times, handpicked senators will be of immeasurable vaIu-3 to him. The same conditions that will affect the senatorial elections indicate that the house will be Republican by a small majority. It is obvious that the results of a vote of 15,000,000 in a nation where so many cross-currents play cannot be predicted with minute accuracy. But certain influences are palpable, says the Philadelphia North American. The nominations thus far made, analysis of the primary votes of the two parties, the rejection at the primaries of several representatives who had been conspicuuous supporters of the early Wilson policy, the growing feeling that the nation will pay heavily for the administration's neglect of preparedness, and the other growing feeling that the south has been unjustly favored in the matter of war taxation all these things, we believe, justify the opinion that the drift of sentiment is away from the Democrats and toward the Republicans.

BUT, SUPPOSIN.

In a case recently decided by the United States general appraisers at New York, involving the importation by George Borgfeld & Co. of a quantity of chinaware from Germany, prior to our entry into the war, the importers contended that the goods were correctly invoiced, while the board found the chinaware was undervalued, or in other words, that the export prices were lower than the prices asked by the manufacturers for the same merchandise in Germany the old German trick known to trade as "dumping." Under the board's decision, the importers become liable for the payment of an additional 15 per cent "dumping" duty, imposed by a democratic law passed two years ago. All right. But suppose the invoice value of those goods had been identical with the prices asked by the manufacturers for the same merchandise in Germany? Still the importers would have been able to bring these goods into this market and undersell American chinaware because of the low German wage scale. But the dumping law would not Tiave touched them. Only a protective tariff would apply to them. That is the chief danger which we face when peace and competition return. The danger is not so much that Europe will dump goods on us as that they will ship goods to our shoe at prices which our factories can not meet. A dumping clause, standing alone would be of little, if any, value. Harness it up with a protective tariff law and the danger of European monopoly of our market would be averted. That is the republican stand on this question.

GOOD LORD! WHAT NEXT? While the government has undertaken many novel enterprises during these strenuous war times, Mr. McAdoo, in carrying out hi3 dollar-dinner idea on dining cars, is probably dealing with one of the most delicate

CONSERVATION CONE MAD. A fuel (fool) conservator the bracketed worn is ours advises those disposed, says the Christian Science Monitor, to do things that will help in winning the war to walk downstairs instead of taking the elevator, if one's office is not above the fifth floor. Walking will be wearing on shoe leather and stair steps. Why would it not be more patriotic to slide down on the balustrade, or upon what the occupants of office buildings used to call "banisters" when they were boys? There is a lot of other advice given in a monitory style by administrators and conservators that is just as ridiculous. Some of these officials could be locked up

and the country would be all the better.

ILL B. WOOD TELLS

0 WORK H

CONGRESS

V. J. Whinery. the Hammond lawyer, has received th,e following letter from Oorg; esbinan Will Wood, tolling of this work Mr. Wood lias been doing at Washington which will be a revelation to his constituents: Washington. J . ('., . t. 2 t. 191 S. Mr. William J. Whinery. Hammond. Ind. My Dear Wlum i j : 1 luive been hoping to get away from here in time to make a visit over our district before election day, but owing to the fact that our election recess will not he taken until the 2 0 tli of this month 1 will not be enabled to do this. I do iut want the people of your end of the district, because of the fact that I have not been seen in their midst, to fe,el that I am in the least unmindful of their past support or have lost my solicitude for their future support. 1 have felt it to be my highest duty to stay here and attend to the wants of the district, regardless of personal consequences. There is not a day passes but what some request reaches me from somewhere in the. district, that can not be attended to except by personal attention. I long ago found out that telephone requests and letter requests do not bring results. In consequence I have adopted the practice of going in person and endeavoring at least to accomplish tie desired purpose in each instance This is the most memorable session of Congress ever held and one of the longest. It commenced on the tirst Monday in December last and will no doubt last until the beginning of the next session on the first Monday in December. I have been home just one day in this time. During all the rest of the time I have been here and on the job trying as best I know how to perform the duties for which I was elected. I have supported every measure that has had for its purpose the vigorous prosecution of the war. As a member of the Appropriations Committee I have voted for a. favorable report on every bill providing the money with which to conduct the war. I have likewise advocated and voted for the passage of these measures in the House. From the beginning to end we have appropriated nearly fifty billions of

dollars: more than twice as much money as has been expended from the beginning of our government down to the commencement of tins war. Tiie detiicency bill which we. have just reported and passed through the House, carries six billion, three- hundred forty-six million dollars; the largest appropriation bill cur passed by any government on tin face of the earth. It is my wish that the people of our district, especially your end of the dislikt. where there- is so muih ma nv. I'acturing activity, shoul 1 appreciate that we are not only interested in the vigorous prosecution of this v.ar but that we are vitally interested in the economic questions that will arise with the close of this war. which will b" the most momentous i i the. history of our country. Hut little preparation has been made for this event, because of the pressing demands incident to the war situation. But when this war is over, which happily now looks might be in the near future, this country will be tried to its uttermost when a new world trade relations must be made and when the reconstruction and rehabilitation of our industrial institutions must of necessity be made on a peace basis; and the economic questions involved in all this will be the greatest with which the world has ever had to contend. Then, in my opinion, as never before, will the Republican party be needed. Those who are acquainted with the history of political parties in this country are very well aware that the Republican party, through its economic policies, has been equal to every emergency heretofore; and if we are to judge by the works accomplished as to what may be done in the future, it is safe to rely upon this party to cope with the financial troubles that may beset us in the immediate future. In view of these facts and the hundreds of others that might be detailed, I sincerely hope that those who are interested in the continued welfare of your wonderfully prosperous sec-ion will see to it that those who represent and stand for the policies of the Republican party are not neglected at the coming election. "With very best wishes. I am. Tours truly. VM. R. WOOD.
