expressed it, "never had any trouble holding the good will of the republicans. so far as their tnouths went, when they were with the republican?, but accepting friendship only from their mouths and nothing in deeds, has worn out, and they have concluded to cast their lot where there arc more deeds and less words."

AN OLD HABIT. Th hrs.t republican progruistication, by states, as to the November presidential election is out. The democrats arc.Keneror..cly given the whole "s-olid South'', Includinj: even Texas. ThUo 1Ö7 votes are accounted for on the democratic s-ide. -Mr. Willcox modestly claims but 211 votes as a cinch fr H";hts. Among these are Michigan with 1- votes, and whuh voted for Henry 1'ord for president and may follow him into the Wilson column; California with 1;; otes. where the republican ranks are badly split and even Hiram Johnson is "afraid Wilson will carry the state"; and Ohio, which is at least debatable; not to mention tickle Minnesota. In the "doubtful states" are listed Missouri. Arizona. New York and West Virginia. Of course everything is "doubtful" until it is an accomplished fact, strictly speaking hut as far as the four states mentioned are concerned, the preponderance of the doubt is on the Mdc of the republicans, says Willcox. I'.ut claiming everything in sight is one of the time honored prerogatives of a national chairman.

ORGANIZED AND UNORGANIZED LABOR. Everything about the address of l'res't Samuel (Jomj.ers, of the American I 'edcration of Iibor at the high school auditorium Thursday night, vv.us so significant of the great labor movement in America, that to pass it hv without roiiiiaHi!. r'. wordless of political considerations, would be hunting a u'ity which the press owes to the masses of mankind, who live by their sweat. For the labor movement '-s represented by organized lab-T, has as truly been the salvation of all labor in this country and in Kurope as well, as Christianity through the organized church, represents the growing salvation of the world. It is organized labor that has buifeted the storms, that has led in the race, and kt.;. w a-e-slii . cry from becoming the successor of chain slavery, as wiped out by the lire and blood of '01 and 'Wo. Through its beneficent work, in spite of its many Plunders and tni.-takes, it has held the labor movement down to an evolution in the main, though now and then breaking out into revolution ami revolution is merely evolution running riot. Fundamentally, agitation', education, legislation, is its mode of procedure, the latter, in reality, being the end aimed

at; an end la iieruon to an vvoitxei.- icm.m""

HOME BUSINESS METHODS. A clerk from the mail order department of a big store came up to the silk counter with a sheaf of letters in her hand from women ordering; velvet;, and lace-s and silks. "This woman wants seven yards of something or other, but 1 can't read her writing," said the clerk, appealing for help to the girl behind the counter. A shopper waiting for change observed the handful of letters and blushed for shame at what she saw. "They were written in every variety of feminine hand-writing, often on half sheets of note paper turn from each other, cris-cro.-ed and postscript!, blotted and iWegible. .-'ampie.s were pinned to them zigzag, and they had in many cashes been unevenly folded." That was tho way those women carried on their business correspondence. Women scrupulously correct in writing an invitation are often incredibly careless about their business affairs. The shopper knew she had been guilty of sending out similar letters, of paying her bills in just as sloppy a manner, in fact, of running the whole business end of her home in the most unintelligent and careless manner. These letters from other thoughtless women only showed her her own methods. .he profited by the experience and invested in a typewriter. She uses it for all her business correspondences, for making labels for boxes and jars, for addressing envelopes, for writing her "club papers," and for a few intimate letters. Her husband approves of the reform. His othce would never have been run in any other way. Why don't more women learn to use the typewriter and increase their own self-respect and business elticiency ?

FINANCING YOUNG DOCTORS. The Medical Record makes a novel proposal for the medical profession. Remarking on the difficulties that a young doctor usually faces in starting his practice, the editor suggests that companies of physicians and business men be organized for the purpose of financing them until they have got their practice on a paying basis. The beginner would thus be enabled to start with proper working equipment books, instruments, office, automobile, etc. and to make a good appearance and do good work at the time when normally he would be struggling to make both ends meet and finding hla progress retarded by the disadvantages of the strupKle. He would make good sooner, and would then begin paying back the money advanced him while hi3 expenses exceeded his income. This looks like socialism of a limited sort. In a socialist community, a beginner in any occupation would presumably be financed somehow or other out of public funds during his early struggles. It is something new to have it soberly proposed that such a system be established for one profession, leaving other callings on the old competitive, sink-or-swim basis. The doctors are free to try it, however, if they like.

Attempts locally to array the unorganized workingmen against the organized, and not only locally, but throughout the country, may he a tit occupation for employers, but the worker who succumbs to it is merely biting his own nose oft to spite his own face. It is all right for railroad managers to organize an "eighty per cent movement" among their unorganized men, who because of their not being trainmen engaged in the operation of interstate trains, could not come under the Ada import law. but it is only the ignorant, gullible, or bought, that they wid be able to corral.

Declaration: "1 call your attention to the need of passing the bill limiting the number of hours of employment of railroad employes. The measure is a very moderate one, and I can conceive of no serious objection to it. Indeed, so far as it los in our power, it should be our aim steadily to reduce the number of hours of labor, with, as a goal, the general introduction of the eightour day." Again, in his message to tongress on Dec. 1S07, l'res't Koosevelt said. "The congress should consider the extension of the eight-hour la. The principle of the eight-hour day shoald, as rapidly and as far as practicable, be extended to the entire work carried on by the government."

j And now turn your gaze on this: speaker Theodore j Koosevelt. Occasion speech on "Anthing-to-beat-

Wilson." Declaration: "We have seen in this country few things more discreditable to our representatives and more ominous to the future of the nation than the passage of the Adamson eight-hour law for

NAILED A LIE. j United States Senator William J. Stone makes the most obvious and unanswerable reply to the charge

that Pres't Wilson and congress surrendered to force and to threats when the Adamson law was passed, when he as: "t'ne weakness about this charge is that it " is false. Nobody threatened the president or congress; nobody demanded anything of them." And Mr. Stone is abundantly backed up by the proofs.

More than offsetting the capital which republicans have attempted to make of the Chicago Iaily News coming out for Hughes with it-pro-verbial regularity of 10 days before election, the Chicago Herald, next morning, came out and editorially recommended the re-election of Pres't Wilson. The Chicago Dally News, pretensi vely independent, has never been known, however, to support an thing hut repubicans in national politics when finally brought to a shovvJown. This is the lirst campaign under the present management of the Herald, that it has had occasion to declare itself in national affairs. The Herald, among the great independent newspapers of the country, is edited by James Keeley. who in 11 11 was editor of the Chicago Tribune and was strong for Theodore Koosevelt and the bull moosers. Since the opening of the presidential campaign the Herald has been devoting two columns on its editorial page to letters from its subscribers touching the "qualification" of l'res't Wilson and Mr. Hughes. In announcing- its perferenee for Wilson the Herald frankly admits that its course has been dictated by the majority of the big "Herald fa.-n-ily" as the paper's readers are called. The editorial in part follows: "There is a strong and reasonable sentiment in this country in favcr of rewarding the efforts of tried and acceptable public servants by re-election. We see this principle invoked in every contest from the smallest political light to the greatest national struggle. Within the great parties a president who has done well is conceded the right to renomination. There is no reason why this test shoulfl not be applied at this time to Pres't Wilson himself. On the rec ord as a whole, of things done on the prospect of things to be done is there a real reason for the American people at this time to repudiate the president. There are to the Herald good reasons why they should not do so. Out of the disquietude of recent events the nation has sailed into the calmer seas of the present. Hut what American can or should forget In sr short a time the manifold difficulties which confronted Pres't Wilson during the first two years of the war. What American can or should forget that he was called on almost at every moment to act on matters big with the fate of the nation. What just man can overlook how anxiously he studied the public opinion of the country, that he might put the decision of the government in accord therewith. Above all, who can forget that he acted not in the light of subsequent events but under the direct menace of the event itself. "From the standpoint of foreign affairs the question which presents itself to the American people is whether it would not be unwise to swap horses in the middle of the stream. Tho president has ail the ends of the tangled skein of foreign politics in his hand. He has the assistance of an able secretary of state. From the standpoint of efficiency no change is needed. From the standpoint of the effect on foreign nations a change probably would he bail. It Mould oiu-ourjiiro the idea that America is a lieht liere foreign intrißue in the licUl of xlitics may produce good results and to that extent weaken the present administration's successor. "The Herald sees no real reason for the belief expressed by campaign orators that Mr. Wilson's re-election means commercial disaster. It sees much reason, as Mr. Lovett said: why a national party that has done its best in the right spirit to treat business fairly should receive recognition of the fact from business men. The contrary course must in the end result in making one party extremely radical and the other wildly reactionary and that means that we shall have administration and legislation on class grounds and not on national grounds when either party get in power. That is certainly something' well worth avoiding. The campaign is closing; the nation is entering into the valley of decision. Kach member of the great Herald family will vote for the candidate whom he or she believes is best fitted to grasp the wheel of the ship of state. Hut the Herald believes, as it believes a great majority of its readers believes, that for what he has done, for what- he has not done, for what he has induced his party to do, Woodrow Wilson has earneA four more years of service to the American people. Ke-clect him.

tue women or wall streit. (Popular Finance.) That Wall street bankers of the Morgans. Guggenheims. StandardOil, U. S. Steel crowd and other similar magnates, are bitterly opposed to Woodrow Wilson is thoroughly intelligible to those who have read "The New Freedom." No one is surprised at the lavish rate those interests are pouring money into the campaign to accomplish their purpose. The Wall street crowd are wise as owls, and rarely make mistakes. They are never swayed by sentiment, as is the average country voter, but by cold-blooded business reasons. When they put up a dollar, they usually know just what they are going to get for it. Kut of all absurd blunders has been the sending out of a trairdoad of ladies, known as the "societyshow on wheels," headed by Mrs. Daniel Gu-genheitn, wife of the head of the smelter trust, to tell us raw westerners how to vote. How they expected us to be dazzled by it. and attracted to the Wall street standards, is beyond my comprehension. It is emphasizing things which they should have kept in the background. They should have kept their well-paid army of orators harping on Mexico, so that the public would have no time to think about the Wall street crowd or what it was trying to put over. No doubt these ladies are highly refined and very attractive with their rouge and glittering jewels, but it is too apt to set the poor to wondering as to why these great inequalities in wealth, and why the expense of this special trainload of missionaries. The Chicago ourr.al puts it rather pointedly": "Vail street once more has shown its exquisite sense of the fitness of things. Too busy garnering cemocratic prosperity to go on the stump itself, the "street" lias sent a trainload of its wives and daughters to preach the Hughes gospel in the western states where woro" tuiva

the ballot. It is estimated that the jewels on this special train are worth more tham $500,000. yet they are, the mere traveling decorations of the fair politicians. Their really important gems are safe in the vaults at home. "Of course, a woman with a $15,00' diamond clasp at her throat is peculiarly fitted to teach political duties to women who work for a living in factory, office or home. Mrs. Mary Harriman Kumsey, for example, heir to one of the greatest railways magnates who ever lived and a prominent passenger on this Hughes feminine special, will be aide to set mere ordinary mothers right on such matters as the child labor, law, and convince the wives of railroad workers that Pres't Wilson was guilty of something akin to treason in urging the eight hour day. Of course. "But more interesting than the financial aspect of the case is the curious topsy-turvy nature of this expedition. The heathen are sending missionaries to them that have the light. Women can not vote in NewYork, and only tho other day the republican convention in that state refused the pleas of the suffragists, though the Hugh'?s campaign manager, Mr. Wilcox, was present in control of that gathering. Yet women from this state w hich denies them the ballot are crossing the continent to persuade their sisters who have voted for years to support the republican ticket! "The Hughes special may not make many votes for that elusive gentleman, but at least it is adding to the gayety of nations,"

For complying; with the republican national committee's "urgent and strenuous effort to secure tho active moral and financial Mipport of a great number of men in every section of the 1'nitcd States" he doesn't get a thing for his contribution of $10 but his certificate of membership. Mr. Voter, do you know that if you had your name in some college ca.talogue, or Who's Who. or Which is Which, or When s When, you could become a sustaining member and get an emgraved certificate of membership from the sustaining membership bureau of the republican nationaJ committee for only $10? No wonder Mr. Hughes calls our prosperity a "Fool's Paradise." Does Mr. Hughes think we are so prosperous that the average man bombarded with sustaining membership campaign literature doesn't know the difference between a ten dollar bill and a gratuitous insult? Wait a minute. We aren't quite through yet. "This is" such "an entirely new method of procedure" and "the undersigned are so firmly in sympathy with the plan" that "you can readily see that it is important that a certain goal be surely reached by election day" that they are "yours truly." Right here the molasses gets thick. That letter is not signed T. P. Gluub, assistant to the assistant's assistant secretary. Not on your life! That "touch" is signed by eight men with their own genooine rubber stamp John Henrys. Now a really busy man who is out for and IN really big business gets. out of the habit of pushing a pen, and if he didn't have to sign checks he would forget how to write. You have to gues; at some of these names, but there are two of them that are as plain as the nose on your face: Robert Bacon. Joseph H. Choate! Ami when a school teacher receives an autographed letter with these two names he gets so excited he doesn't care much whether something that looks like Nemyl Naiginson is He nry L. H'gginson, the banker, or not. He just knows that he has got in his hands a letter signed In Robert Bacon and Joseph H. Choat, and unless ho has been a pretty good student of psychology and learned "control" he MAY loosen up to the extent of $10 just to be in the same class with Robert Bacon and Joseph H. Choate. He has something to talk about now and when lie goes home at night and remarks casually to his wife that he sent his chock That morning of $10 to Mr. Bliss, and Friend Wife' says. "Why, John'" he has his answer ready: "Why. Mary. Robert Bacon and Joseph H. Choate themselves asked me to s nd that $1':" And Mary blows! Mary can vote now; and Mary is wise. You can't fool her with a personal appeal from Robert Bacon and Joseph H. Choate. She has their measure! She knows that Robert Bacon is an old member of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., and was au avowed anti-German candidate for nomination to United States senate from New York and got licked, and that he was Roosevelt's ambas.-ador to France, and tiiat Robert Bacon just naturally and naively and inherently and by birth, by training, and by bank roll, is against the kind of president that Mr. Wilson is. Mary also knows that Bacon is "director" fir over one billion of dollars; that Choate "directs" close to one billion one hunun-d million! And that is not all that Mary knows. Mary knows that Jo.-eph H. Choate, next to Elihu Root, is the king-pin corporation Jawvor, and that Hughes was once Choate's corporation law partner. Kut what Mary cannot understand, being fairly new to politics, is that thisame Joseph H. Choate, who only last April did his darmbst to prevent the New York republican convention from ndor.-ing Hughes as its candidate because it wasn't right that Hughes "should trag thermine of the supreme court in the dust." and b--ause "nobody knows what Hughes' views are cm this or any other important matter," should now be a party to a plan to get h--r husband in for a ten dollar bill when SHE needs a new hat. As for John, he can vote for Hughes if he wants to beoa"se his father was a r -publican, but as for herself, she's going; to vote for Wii.-on becau.ce Wilson gave us what we wanted and kept us out of war! Will it really make votes for Mr. Hughes, tki- mollycoddle -::s-taining membership" plan? There is no doubt about one thing, they don't really need the little old ten dollars! A e-ommitte-o with all-the-money-in-the-world can get along without that. It wants VOTES. Will it get them by playing up school teachers as mollycoddle-? Advert i.-ei: o n T
