It is said that the orders already declined for next fall and winter would be sufficient to_keep the largest mill in this country in operation dur- ing the remainder of the year. In order to hasten deliveries many mills are being operated twenty-four hours a day and ev- ery effort is being made by man- ufacturers to make early deliver- ies of the goods already sold.— From ‘Women’s Wear, New York. A DISGUSTING SPECTACLE. That the demagogic campaign of carping, purile criticism in which Mr. Hughes is indulging is disgusting even to his own party is evidenced by the following which appeared in the Oshkosh Northwestern, the leading Repub- lican paper of Wisconsin: ‘*To every sensitive and sensi- ble voter the spectacle of a candi- date for the highest office in the world running around the country kissing babies, shaking hands with the crowd, and begging for votes is certainly very unpleasant. It respect that ought to Be associat- 1 with the great presidential of- ‘fice. If President Wilson should have the good taste to remain quietly at home during the cam- paign after Congress adjourns and allow his Cabinet ministers and his party leaders to make the political speeches it would count in his’ favor among right-thinking For Prosecuting.

There never has been in Wash- ington a more truly representa- tive Congress than the Sixty- fourth, now adjourned, whether measured by the extent and char- “acter of its labors or by the man- ner in which it has responded to the needs and spirit of the times. It has accomplished more of last- ing value to the country than any dozen Congresses since the Civil War, except its immediate pre- decessor, the Sixty-third. If it were only for what it has done in providing for the national defense on land and sea, it would rank high in the history of the United States, Military prepared- ness in accordance with the coun- try’s demands will date from 1916, with the passage of the army and navy bills. But in the long ist of achievements of the Sixty- fourth Congress, these measures ‘vf military preparedness consti- tute only one among many of first importance that have been placed to the credit of the Democratic party since last December. The child labor law and the Federal workingmen’s compensation law are progressive legislation of the hest kind. The rural, credits law supplements the Federal reserve system by establishing a system of farm-loan mortgage banks, such as the agricultural sections of the country have long needed. The « Government shipping board is de- signed to aid in the rehabilita- tion ef American _ shipping through co-operation with private enterprise where possible and through Government operation where necessary. The creation of a non-partisan Tariff Commission is a step long urged by leading business associations. In the Philippine act Congress has again manifested the good faith of the United States by extending to the people of the islands a larger measure of self-government, . for y- Last of all, the Sixty-fourth passed the railroad eight-hour law , to-meet the emergency of a nation- . wide strike and provided for & commission to investigate the ef- fects of the eight-hour Congress. Its passage was pre- ininary to other logidation to be enacted next winter. people. But if Judge Hughes is to go out after votes like the or- dinary demagogue traveling through the country at a speed which will enable him to see the greatest number of people in the shortest possible time, he can at least take high ground in his speeches and discuss politics as a great statesman and not as a great demagogue. It is the sensi- ble people who decide things, in the long run, and surely they will think better of him if he will make the. change.’’ EEE THE MAINE ELECTION. Republicans pretend to be very much elated with the results of the Maine election held Monday, but analysis of the figures would seem to give them very little ground for encouragemennt. In 1912 the Democrats cast for Wilson 51115 votes; two years later, in 1914, Curtis, the Demo- cratic candidate for governor, polled 62039. votes, a gain of 10926 over 1912. . This year the vote for the Democratic candidate for governor is 66547 or a gain of 15434 votes over the Democratic vote for president four years ago. No one expected Maine to go other than Republican. Only once since 1868 has a Democratic presi- dential- candidate carried the state, and if Republicans can get any consolation or encouragement out of a Democratic gain of 15000 yotes, they are indeed welcome to it. LOOKING BACKWARD. “Though we should continue to perfect our, small navy and our minute army, I do not think it necessary to increase the number of our ships; at ‘any rate, as things look now, nor the number of our soldiers. Of course, our army must be kept up to the high- est point of efficiency; and the replacement of old and worthless vessels by first-class new ones may involve an increase in the ‘personnel, but not enough to in- terfere with our action along the lines you have _ suggested.’’Col. Roosevelt in 1905. Don’t laugh. These politicians have a heluva time. t t ‘A Good Township.
