The East is all agog over the ex- ploit of a certain German submarine which is reported to have sunk six steamers. It is said that in each in- stance warning was given and pas- sengers and crews permitted to take to the boats before their ships were sunk, and so far as known, all were subsequently rescued by revenue cut- ters and other vessels. Vision of what might amount to a blockade of American ports by transcontinental submarines are giving the horrors to all who are in any way connected with the export trade and as the present prosperity is entirely de- pendent on such trade practically ev- eryone may be said to be so con- nected. DENTAL PREPAREDNESS. What is the most important attri- bute of a soldier? Good feet? No. Good eyesight? No. Good brains? No. What then? Good teeth. A soldier may have good feet, good eyesight and good brains but if he has bad teeth, he can’'t eat. If he can’'t eat he can’t- march near enough to the enemy to see him and use his brains to fight him. How does a soldier get good teeth? By having good teeth in childhood. How do children keep good teeth? Through being taught by their mothers how to keep their clean and having their teeth looked after while they are grewing. This{ makes good teeth for future soldiers. | It would seem then as though the first patriotic duty of a mother was to keep her children’s teeth in good condition. It is. “AMERICA OPEN T0 THE WORLD” “The whole world is open to Am- erica,” said President Wilson in his Omaha address. ‘‘America is open to the whole world” would be a more accurate statement. The United States has opened its markets to the whole world, while the whole world is closing its mar- kets to America. The great free- trade stronghold, England, is adopt- ing protective duties against Amer- ican products. France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Russia, Japan and other powers have strong protective systems to guard their domestic mar- kets. ‘Where is the glorious opportunity of which President Wilson spoke? Of what avail is the establishment of American banks abroad if Amer- ican goods are excluded by diserim- inatory tariffs? The United States cannot obtain trade favors without granting equal favors. And it cannot grant favors to any nation if goods are already permitted to come in duty free. France has a double tariff—a maximum which all rpations must meet, and a minimum which is con- ceded to nations which make similar concessions. These concessions are ?rranged through commercial treat- es. This was the system established under the McKinley and Payne-Ald- rich tariff laws. Under that system the United States made headway in the world commerce while protect- ing the American market for home * industry and home labor. The Underwood law, passed under President Wilson, abolished the sys- tem, and placed two-thirds of all im- ports on ‘the free list. The result How’s This? ‘We offer One Flundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Hall's Catarrh Medicine has been taken by catarrh sufferers for the past thirty- five years, and has become known as the most reliable remedy for Catarrh.

Has any part of America enjoyed a reduction in the cost of living? On the contrary, the cost of living is rapidly increasing. It is greater now than it has ever been. DEMOCRATIC SANDBAGGING. The exposure of the Democratic National committee’s scheme to sand- bag the 65,000 postmasters of the country into ‘“contributing” 10 per ‘Wilson campaign fund has proved the sensation of the campaign. This attempt was made by reason of a circular addressed to county chairmen by B. Bonna Ridgeway, member of the finance committee of the Democratic National committee, ' from Postmaster General Burleson’s state—Texas. To- give further “punch” to his demand, Mr. Ridgeway stated in his circular that he wrote “at -the in- stance” of National Committeeman Poindexter, who had just conferred with the national committee in New York, meaning Chairman McCormick, with whom Mr. Poindexter had just been in conference. The county chairmen were warned that it was against the law to write to postmas- ters or demand such a contribution in the postoffice, but were instructed to waylay them elsewhere, to de- mand the 10-per cent assessment and to tell them that “if President Wil- son is re-elected there will be a per- manent organization of our force throughout the country and a note will be made of the loyalty of those appointees who contributed, as well as the disloyalty of those who re- fused to contribute.” It is not without significance that the postoffice appropriation bill just passed carries an appropriation of $31,000,000, “for compensation o} postmasters.” B When the Republicans first pro- cured and made public a copy of the circular, in which local chairmen are instructed. to “act intelligently” so as to run afoul of the law, Chairman McCormick gave out a statement say- ing: ‘““These charges are the most arrant nonsense and are absolutely untrue. They are in line with the campaign of misrepresentation that the Republicans have been making from the start.” Mr. McCormick then learned that the Republican Na- tional committee was furnishing fac- similes of Ridgeway’s circular to the daily press. He immediately aban- doned his denial, admitted that the circular had been issued, but con- tended that its distribution had been stopped. From numerous points, however, including the state of Washington, comes word from postmasters that the assessments are being made. Postmaster Childs of Spokane, among others, admits that he has paid 5 per cent of his salary into Mr. Wil- son’s campaign fund.
