Candidate Is Mockér by Record of His Own Party in Congress. LAWS ENV.CTED ARE FOR ALL On Its Achievements Administration Invites Judgment as to Whether Its Work Is Sectional in Its Scope and Purpose. Charles E. Hughes has raised the ery of sectionalism, complaining to his Western uudiences because the fm portant Committee Chairmanships In the House and Senate have been filled —this being due to seniority promo- tions—by Southern members, “During the last year of Republican control there was not a committee chairmanship from the South,” replies Congressman James B. Aswell in -his speech reported in the Congressional Record. “Was that nationalism or blind, ignorant partisanship?” he asks, “Let the people decide,” he suggests, “whether the following great measures enacted by this so-called South-con- trolled Congress are sectlonal or na- tional: “The Underwood Tariff Law, just to the consumer as against the special privileged class, followed by a non- partisan tariff’ commission removing the tariff question from polities. “The Income Tax Law, causing the rich to pay their Just proportion of the expenses of the Government. “Phe Rural Credits Law, the first legislation solely for the farmers. “The establishment of rural routes. the extension of the parcel post, and better mail service for our rural popu lation. “The Good Roads Law for all sec- tions and for all our people. “Farm extension laws, including Smith-Lever Act, grain) and cotton standards, regulating cotton futures, and so forth. - “Numerous just labor laws, the most beneficial in a century by the Ameri- can Congress. “The Child Labor Law for the chil- dren of the whole country and for civilization. “The Federal Reserve Act, giving an élastic currency and preventing finan- cial panics—the greatest act ever passed In the history of our Govern- ment. - “Conservation acts for the people as against special interests. “Anti-trust laws and arbitration laws, preventing special-interest con- trol. “Shipping act for open markets for our products and commercial mastery of the seas. “Federal Trade Commission Act, protecting the individual as against the vested interests. “The Seamen's Law for the work- men, and public safety. “Legislation supporting the Presi- dent in keeping us out of the Euro- pean war while maintaining peace with honor to the American flag. -& Major’s harness store. jeed work. §1-1t THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH— AN EDITORIAL APPRAISAL President Wilson’s speech of acceptance was comprehensive, frank and direct. It was the utterance of a man and a political party conscious of the honesty of past endeavors and |} confident of ability to cope wth i whatever problems-the future might | have in store, No President has ever been called upon t6 face more serious’ conditions than has Mr, Wilson, He has met them with patience and de- votion that have won the respect and admiration of the world. . With domestic legislation to dis revt, giving the relief from ecor nomic abuses that the country’s wel- fare demanded, with a long list of promises to fulfill, the great war that burst upon the world threatened to check him in his efforts and to in- volve the nation in the disasters that are afflicting almost every naticn of the old world Tfow he has brought the country through it all, with honor and wiih astounding prosperity, the aceepi- ance speech succinctly and modesity tells. In three and a half years the coun- try has been set aright, every class protected in its liberties and its op- portunities, the whole commercial | system set in order, with prosperity abounding. And reason has never abandoned its throne in all of the country’s perplexities, ‘lrensburg, where he has been at- ‘trail a oppossuin, The speech was a message to the people of all the world; it was a notice to the world that this country is big enough to maintain its honor and to keep out of war, and at the same time big enough to regulate its domestic conditions, The specch was no apology, no defense, no complaint. It was a speech that all men and women should read to learn what the country has really been doing. Substantial Reduction on Penn- sylvania Tires. Word has just been received by W. W. Henry, local distributor for Pennsylvania Tires, that a new reduced schedule of prices cover- ing the entire Pennsylvania lina is effective October Ist, 1916. Notwithstanding the average high level of raw materials, the large volume for the first eight months of this year, together with saving in cost, has enabled the Pennsylvania Rubber Company to reduce prices on Vacuum Cup, Ebony Tread and Bar Circlé Tires and at the same time, maintain the established quality. The reputation of the company is sufficient assurance that the ir- revocable policy of QUALITY FIRST will continue. The reduec- tion will in no way change this policy. Notice to Teachers.
