Ba a BILLIONS AT STAKE. Some very. interesting figures are submitted | by the Economist with reference ‘to earnings by | American wage workers. There are in America 40,000,000 wage earn- ers receiving an average of $1,500 a year. This ; means $60,000,000,000 paid to our.men and wom- én workers in annual wages. This sum is 6 per cent of $1,000,000,000,000. This is labor’s capi- tal. It is four.times our national wealth, or what is known as the capitalists’ capital. The.capitalist is not sure of constant returns on his money or investment. He may hold stocks that | Pay no dividends, he may fail in business or have a ‘Labor's capital is only impaired through illness ' Cpa and even ahis loss is \largely prevent-_ le. and Especially preventable is the idleness that.comes | to the American laborer by employing the cheap labor of other countries ito do our work for us. At the present time we are paying at the rate of $2,- 000,000,000 to $3,000,000,000 a year in wages to foreign workers ‘for goods that should be made in this country. Three billion dollars is.6 per -cent of $50,- 000,000,000. Consequently $50,000,000,000 of labor's capital is useless and profitless. “But fortu- nately the American ‘laborer chn rectify that con- + dition within a short :time by voting for a pfotec- tionist president and congress ‘which would give us a tariff law that would check a ,large portion of “competitive imports. : “A vote at the November election is ‘more a vote for a party than for a single candidate. No’ candidate should be considered as bigger than his party. That means autocracy.”—The Ohio Farmer. HAD IT BEEN OTHERWISE. Gov. Coolidge ‘has said: tional investigators haye demonstrated that pro more than $15,000,000,000 were ex- pended in the great war than was necessary. Had | -we spent a single billion in preparing for trouble there probably would have been a speedy end ito _the war without America’s entry. “Supposing ‘that :we only wasted ten billions of dollars ugh incompetency and a failure to rea- lize the crisis of the age, have you ever realized what ‘this sum would do if expended forthe benefit ihirceine aaeeeees $7.80 trations and -vote accordingly in November. ishment of law. : books, no attorney general will ever plead inadequacy of law pala an excuse - sige apprehend and convict ionists, and yet, { measute . ut ewe akeke ie Caeser \ e were an of ernment and of law and order. ee ee ithe business man ‘to reflect on I his lee Seige Diets oul Hewat WHAT D9 YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

You haven't answered the question. What do you know about it?

Te nearer election day approaches the great- er our faith in the American people grows as to the verdict they -will render, ‘ We believe it will be. ‘absolutely impossible for the Democratic: party to decieve the people upon the record itjhas made. We'believe it is likewise in- conceivable for Mr. Wilson to -betray., the. .public confidence withihis League of Nationt aay fe view it Bs an insult to the intelligence of the people for Mr. Wilson and his party, to-presume that they can so disguise or camouflage. the patty rec- ord and the League of Nations as to induce the peo- ple to accept and approve them. * .As.a general thing :the voter is informed, knows ‘his business and wants the right. The ‘line of party cleavage is: plainly defined, the ‘character of presidential candidates thorough- ly established. There is ‘little more itovbe said. ‘We are perfectly willing to leave the matter to the con- scince of the voter. OUR GROWING IMPORTS. Imports into the United ‘States for the period of June, July and August were valued at $1,660,000,- This is at the rate of $6,400,000,000 a year. When Europe was working at ther highest produc- tive power in the years preceding the war, our im- ports were not one-fourth of what they are ,to- of our own people ? It would build two million miles. * of paved road at $50,000 per mile, which ‘is equal to a paved road every thirty miles from ‘the Atlan- tic to the Pacific, and a cross-road every ‘thirty miles from the southern boundary to the Canadian line. “Ten billion dollars would provide 2,000,000 homes or farz-: for the 2,000,000 families in the United States who are said to need ‘better ‘homes, at $5,000 apiece. “Ten billion dollars would pay all of the debts of all-of the states and.municipalities in-the-land. “Ten billion dollars would ‘build’ a modern schoolhouse in every community in America. “Ten billion dollars would endow every college and amiyersity that exists and »provide thigher edu- cation for every boy and girl who aspires to it. “The annual interest on this vast sum. would double the salary of every school teacher in ‘America. } “We thave paid a terrible price for political ‘gambling with the life and death of our nation.” ‘The Wilson cabinet members un speech-making tours, ‘have revised their offerings to the public and are acknowledging that Mr. \Cox jis the Democratic te for -president. t PROVIDING SAFETY. There is not now, nor has there ever been, any disposition to hinder any man who proposed a change in our form of government in the manner } prescribed—by amendment to the constitution. But punishment of men who try to overthrow. the gov- vi of any kind. Probably the most thorough, ehensive and. specific measure designed .to If a Republican president and a Republican ongress are’ elected mext month, and ithey get to work promptly on a protective tariff law and get it into operation possibly these vast vast imports, or such ,of them as do, then come in can be made to pay duty as they should. Jt may bedone in time also to save our own industries from going out of business. WHO DUG THEIR GRAVES? Who dug their graves? The -voice that might Have raised itself to cry “Beware!” The heart that was “too proud to fight” And yet too \timid to prepare, The casual brain that sent them forth, Those tboys, our bravest and our best— The couxteous South, the hardy North, The earnest East, thewarrior West— To camps that made their makers rich And slew as never iron storms; To muddy field and icy ditch In deadly ,contract-uniforms. Who dug their graves? The eyes that slept Too soundly to,permit a tear; The vacillating lips that kept Our ordnance all assembled—here! Who left»the aircraft on the ground At home, the sycophants and slaves, Grafters who cringed when Power frowned- But took the cash—these dug their graves! The Cause is greater than its price As night is lesser than the day: But for the needless sacrifice, Great God in Heaven, they -must pay! —Reginald Wright Kauffman. +33 “al is only PRERE sense for the ‘ aanbaciater i for soft drinks to $350,000,000. ‘With furs selling | ‘|\How (otton Rotted in the Magic City. cess |From Four orners To Washington ‘By (CXRENUS ‘00LE. “You bave asked me, Mr. ‘Miller, what ‘they ‘@id with’ edtton“.at‘ Nitro \City," resumed ‘Watson?
