They pow that when money is free and sy business is good, and then when lere is a tightening of money there bad business, or no business at all. hey know too, that when the old loney kings held the purse strings the nation there was apt to be panie any time the United States pvernment did not do just what ese powers thought it should do. rther than that, the business men America realize that now there is tle chance of a panic visiting this buntry because of the elasticity of e currency brought about by the ptional bank reserve act and other pmedial legislation. Even some of e politicians inwardly hold faith in ese things. Senator George P. Mc- ean in his debate with Homer S. mmings in Waterbury Tuesday ight was forced to admit that the ederal Reserve Act is one of the eatest accomplishments of any ad- inistration. He voiced his approval pmewhat reluctantly, but he did it onetheless. All this talk that is now going the punds about a business depression at took place in the earlier stages f Woodrow Wilson’s administration las no bearing at all on the present pmpaign insofar as it touched on the nderwood tariff. To begin with, that larticular tariff bill was not in opera- on during the earlier days of this [dministration. There was a panic, to le sure. And men were thrown out f work. They walked the streets. hey begged' for employment. But Jhey were not forced to do so be- lause of any tariff law. They were orced to do so because the money ings were seeking revenge on the Wilson administration for attempting 0 take away their power. It was heir last great stand. What' they jlid was done before the Federal Re- erve Act became a reality. They annot repeat, now. This is the way sador- Jacobs, president of the Cali- ornia Canneries Company, one of the argest exporting firms of the United Btates and just appointed by Governor Johnson of California one of the offi- jal delegates to the Peace Conference pt Washington in December, de- ounces Republican’ advertisements harging that hard times prior to the European war were due to the Demo- ratic tariff bill: “The Underwood tariff law had not been in operation during the early jpart of the Wilson administration,” says Mr. Jacobs. “It had nothing to do with the unemployment existing under conditions which were inherited rom the Taft administration. “The fact is that a depression was deliberately planned by the great Wall Btreet banking interests and by spe- clal privilege interests, to head off, if possible, the national bank reserve act. They deliberately tried to force ® panic and depression to force Presi- dent Wilson to let the great banking interests keep control of the financial | Bituation. “Since August, 1914, every -intelli- gent business man and banker realizes that President Wilson’s federal re- #erve act is the only thing that pre- vented a really di. Ing the first wee rous panic dur- nd months of the Jluropean war. Bankers have ac- ‘pepted gladly what they once con- @tmned, and those not blinded by pre- #uiice are praisin Wilson for h in giving the country the Federal Reserve Act.” More than that, the workingmen of Woodrow statesmanship ng to cover | under fear of what is going to happen to them if Woodrow Wilson and his administration is returned to power. Orators may stand in front of factory doors and deluge the place with cheap balderdash and jargon from now until the cows come home, but the working- men are giving little heed to argu- ments based on a threat of hard times. Charles Evans Hughes can flood the country with his oratory and paint pictures “of bread lines and soup houses until the sun sets in the East; Boise Penrose and Murray Crane can prate for protection,—and by them protection is meant not a protection for workingmen but a protection of profits,—until Virginia repeals its prohibition laws; but it all makes no difference. The American working- mapn is fortified this year as he never was before. The old time bugaboo that pictured death and desolation with a Democratic victory at the polls is a dead bugaboo, not even worthy enough to scare up a ghost. Unem- ployment and soup houses are not a part of fhe Democratic program, and the workingmen of this country knew it. They are all at work under good laws and a just Government, and they cannot be frightened. Further, they know that the men who demand their votes for so-called “protection’ bhave no particular solicitude for the welfare of workingmen only so far as the workingmen can produce the goods. If they do not know this they will soon find out in the event that a Republican President is elected with a Republican Congress in back of him ready to repeal the Federal Reserve Law. Then they will have their eyes opened. SAVE THE PINES. White pine trees in New England are worth $75,000,000. Connecticut alone possesses a wealth of this species. The American Forestry As- sociation now sends out warning that many trees in this country are doomed to destruction by the white pine blister rust, and urges that every precaution be taken to prevent a spreading of the disease. It has already found a secure foothold in many states in this section and in Canada. New York and Wisconsin have es- tablished a rigid quarantine, and var- ious state agricultural boards have urged that no infected white pines, or currant and gooseberry bushes, be shipped; that infected bushes, and in- fected pines be destroyed, and in some cases that there shall be no shipment from state to state of white pine seed- lings, goosebery or currant bushes whether they are known to be infected or not. There is no known cure for the disease. It kills the white pines infected and spreads it steadily. The spores or seeds of the disease are blown from diseased pines to current and gooseberry bushes. They germin- ate on the leaves of these bushes. These leaves then produce millions of spores or seeds of the disease which are carried by the wind from the bushes to the pines, and trees infected become diseased and die. To help stop the spread of the dis- ease then, all currant and gooseberry bushes, diseased pines and those ex- posed to infection, should be eom- pletely done away with. Otherwise, the wealth of pine trees in this section will be swept away, to be replaced only at the cost of great labor, money and years. CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE. It will be some time before the Me- Lean-Cummings debate is entirely for- gotten by the electorate of this state. The two brilliant gentlemen made a distinct impression on their hearers, and Homer 8. Cummings proved him- self fit mettle to challenge the Senator from Connecticut. There was, by pre- vious agreement, no decision, and, sa far, the press has been absolutely neu- tral. One newspaper, however, in proclaiming the great ability of Mr. Cummings, sets forth the weakness of Senator McLean for admitting that the Federal Reserve Law is a very good plece of legislation. Another news- paper, supporting Senator McLean, comes back with the assertion that the desirable part of the new banking act is of Republican origin. Throughout his remarks on the same question in the memorable debate Homer 8. Cum- mings paid his tribute to the Republi- can support that was accorded the new banking act when it was before Congress, and went so far as to say that there is much truth in the claims set up by the Republicans, that they originated some features of the bill. They originated them, they conceived certain ideas; but that is as far as they went. The Republican party never stood a chance of putting them into law, never essayed to place these great ideas on the statute books of the nation, because the Old Guard, with its entangling alliances in Wall street, was never in a position to do so. It mat- ters not who first thought of the American Revolution. It was George ‘Washington who saw that it was suc- cessfully carried through. So it {g with this law.

Our Country. (By Willlam Jewett Pabodie) Our country!—'tis a glorious land! ‘With broad arms stretch'd from shore to shore, The proud Paclfic chafes her strand, She hears the dark Atlantic roar; And, nurtured on her ample breast, How many a goodly prospect lies In Nature's wildest grandeur dressed, Enamell'd with her loveliest dyes. Rich prairies, deck’d with flowers of gold, Like sunlit oceans roll afar; Broad lakes her azure heavens be- hold, Reflecting star, And mighty rivers, mountain-born, Go sweeping onward, dark and deep, Through forests where the bounding fawn Beneath their sheltering branches leap. clear each trembling And, cradled mid her clustering hills, Sweet vales in dreamlike beauty hide, Where love the air with music fills, And calm content and peace abide; For/ plenty here her fulness pours In rich profusion o’er the land, And, sent to seize her generous store, There prowls no tyrant’s hireling band. Great God! we thank thee for this home— This bounteous hirthland of free; ‘Where wanderers come, And breathe the air of liberty!— Still may her flowers untrampled spring, Her harvests wave, he: H Ana vet, till Time shall r:ndc ‘;’{? ;11:: Remain Earth’'s loveliest paradiseE the from afar may Hardly That. (Boston Post.) If Mrs, Ida Husted Harper really sald, as she was quoted that the suf. fragists haq compelled President Wil son “to defy the platform on which he was elected,” it is evident that ghe could not have read the Baltimore statement of political ereed. It haa no reference whatever to woman suf- frage. This year's democratic platform, as everybody knows, declared, as diq tho republican platform, for the settle- ment of equal suffrage by state ac- tion. The president has consistently held to that plank. If there has heen any defiance it has been by Mr. Hughes, who indorsed the republican suffrage plank one night and repu- diated it next morning. That is his privilege, but if Mr. Wilson had done it fancy the howls of ‘vacillation’” from the republican editors. The Situation Better. (Springfield Republican.) Every Mexican government for 80 years has blamed the United States government for the smuggling of arms across the border for the use of Mexican bandits or revolutionists. That Carranza’s government should make this charge against the Wash- ington government of today is not surprising. President Taft = was blamed by the Diaz government for the Madero movement which finally upset the old dictator and sent him into exile. The truth is, of course, that our government is exerting itself to the utmost to prevent arms and ammunition being smuggled into Mexico for the use of Villa. The bor- der is so extended that it is difficult to seal it up absolutely. Tt is sealed tighter today, however, than ever be- fore, “CITIZENS, THINK IT OVER” Less Than a Week in Which to De- cide the Destiny of the Nation. (Translated from the Croatian). As you well know on November Tth,| 1916 all of us citizens of the United States will have to decide in whose hands we shall place the power to govern our country. This is not an idle dream, but a reality, to which we have to give our serious thought, and then decide. to think for a moment that the great conflagration which is going on in Europe for the past two v has not had its influence espe those of us who were born brought up there, and became, are citizens of this great country, The great majority of our readers have left relatives abroad, and a -great many have had their brothers, cousins or other relatives fighting on the battle fields on which a great many met their fate. Through cor- respondence received from their own people abroad, they have no doubt come to their own conclusions how dreadful war is and if it would be within anyone's power to take a straw vote among the rank and file of those at the front or at home, and ask them whether they would rather have peace or war, we have no doubt, and may safely say, that prac- tically all of them would vote for peace. Therefore, there is only one «conclusion that peace is beneficial to mankind, and war is detrimental both to mankind and civilization. Since the war started in Europe, you have been daily informed through the columns of the Narodni List of the battles and horrors of the war, and you know that peaceful as this country is, it has been on the brink of war several times, but due to the foresight, love of peace, and the interest of its own citizens at heart, the present administration has pulled this country through the treacherous reefs, and the ‘Ship of State’ is till safely navigating toward its goal, which is ‘Peace’. The war is still raging in Europe, and we do not believe in swapping horses while crossing a stream. It is our firm belief and you will no doubt agree with us, that President Woodrow Wilson whose actions dur- ing his encumbency in office are well known to you, should be re-elected, and we do not see how better we can serve you and your interests, except by advising you to vote for Woodrow Wilson for next President of the United States on the 7th day of No- vember, 1916, Editorial in the *“Na- rodni List,” Croatian Daily of New York, and and Families That Go Wrong. (Collier's Weekly.) One of these research bureaus has been making a study of the causes cf such moral shipwreck as got some six hundred Philadelphia girls into correctional institutions. The out- come of the investigation is de- scribed by the unemotional quarterly publication of the American Statistal association in two sentences: The principal results of the study were to show that in a large majority of cases the girls came from families in which the relationship between parents was abnormal, or where one of the parents was away from home. The statistical evidence afforded by this study corroborates the evidence afforded by other investigations of a similar nature in this country. The scientific fact is that the moral qualities which we find desirable in individuals are very largely the re- sults of family life. The sanest thing that can be done for an orphan is to plant it in a family and let it grow up, belonging scmewhere. Institutions may be useful as shelters or jails, but the conditions of life therein are not likely to furnish the soil in which true character is nourished. And so, after all these years, the sociologists have come around to the position of the sentimental Victorians!

Mr, Hughes has made himself very clear upon the subject of the Susan B Anthony method of granting equal suffrage and he has now made him- seif clear upon the filling of all post offices by means of the merit system. It is true that his party has advanced no such views. It is as silent as the tomb upon them. It must also be true that he will never approach their consideration again, that is as president, if elected, because his con- ception of the office of president is that it should he held strictly to its administrative limitations. Should he undertake to write the Susan B. Anthony brand of equal suffrage into the legislative history of the coun- try, and follow it by an attempt to throw all postmasters into the civil service, he would have necessarily to adopt the Wilson conception of the president and become a political lead- | er and lawmaker. Nevertheless we find comfort in any clear expression of conpviction on Mr. Hughes' part. Had he met the other issues of the compaign in a like spirit* of candor, he would have met far different treatment at our hands. We still have a great admiration for the man, but we cannot help but be in- fluenced by the effect upon him of the blind alley into which events have thrust him as a candidate for a party that dares nmot have convictions upon real important subjects. Neither Mr. ‘Wilson nor Colonei Roosevelt has en- countered the slightest difficulty in making their attitude towards hy- phenism clear. As compared with their vigorous phrasing of their feel- ings, Mr. Hughes with his “undiluted Americanism,” sounds weak and timid. Nor has he been more candid with regard to other issues. The country has no idea in what way, if any, he would amend or expand the policies of the government in our in- ternational relations. We know so little and the Mexican commissioners know so little of his understanding of It would be absurd | the Mexican problem that the con- ference, which at another season might have produced results long be- fore this will undertake no practical , advance until after election. If the | Mexican commissioners have reason | to feel confused over the remarkable state of affairs throughout the coun- | try, they must have been amazed the other evening when they heard Col- onel Roosevelt speak in Brooklyn, | The end of the campaign is near at hand and we know of but three convictions to which Mr. Hughes | pledges himself, equal suffrage by constitutional amendment, the flling | of all post offices with classified em- | ployes and finally, a protective atriff. These are scarcely the reasons why at this period in the world’s history there should be a change in presi- | dents in the United States of North America. They represent a vision of the republic’s needs that belongs to a former and discarded school of phil- osophy. .“ Thrice a Bird-Bride. The wife of & Methodist minister in times.

OVER THOUSAND U. S. BOYS JOINED ARMY American Boys Seek Fortune on Foreign Battlefields While Parents ‘Worry. Washington, Nov. 2.—Of the many unexpected duties the United States has found thrust upon it by the world war one of the strangest is that of rescuing adventurous boys who enlist in the European armies. There have been more than a thousand such cases since the war began, and even now letters praying for the release of young soldiers of fortune pour into the state department at the rate of fifty a day. It has been necessary to assign an official to give special attention to the subject. The story almost always is the same. The youngster, generally between six- teen and twenty, suddenly disappears and s next heard from when he writes home from Canada or England that he has had enough of war and wants to come home, Then follows an almast tornado- like correspondence in which officials, parents, congressmen and persons who think they can hurry the processes of diplomacy by their influence become sympathetic, tearful, inportunate or mandatory. The red tape of govern- ernmental business, however, unwinds slowly and finally the consul general in London or Ottawa, or sowewhere else or perhaps the American embassy makes representations to the foreign government and the advenurer is re- leased and sent home. Until recently the British govern- rent has been promptly releasing all Americans under twenty-one on the request of the United States govern- ment on the ground that it is illegal for such a person to enlist in a foreign army without parents’ cansent. Re- cently the British government has shown a disposition to reduce the age lIimit to eighteen when minors become cf age in a military sense. SAVE YOUR MONEY Otherwisc You May Have to Remain Unburicd—Cost of Undertaker’s Supplies Going Up. New York, Nov. 2.—The Buropean war is held responsible for the in- crease in the cost of burial supplies and a consequent advance announced today by undertakers for funcral ser- vices. Owing to the war, it was sald, “undertakers’ hardware” — name plates and coffin handles—has risen in price irom twenty to forty per cent., due to the fact, the supply men elaim, that the chemical used to give the nickel effect is not now being import- ed. It is estimated that even the cheapest coffins cost §5 more than forumerl Wholcsale dealers in burial sup- plies have notified undertakers throughout the city of a general ad- vance in the trade. To offset the ad- vance the undertakers are consider- ing the :dvisability of entering upon o campaign in favor of cremation. 27,874 VOTER:!

There- are now two | Sixteen Million Voters Await Enlightenment All during the campaign which is now drawing to a close Candidate Charles Evans Hughes and the Re- publican party have been challenged to speak ‘out for or against the record of achievement made by resident Wil- son. . Twenty-one bricf, direct and point- ed questions have been addressed to Mr. Hughes and the Republicans. All the large issues, domestic &nd interna- tional, are treated. Let Mr. Hughes and the Republican party answer, as they have failed to do so far. These questions are: 1. Do you favor repeal of the Fed- eral Reserve Act passed by a Demo- | cratic Congress, recommended and ! approved by President Wilson, under which the danger of financial panics is forever banished from the United | States? 2. Would you have protested against the violation of Belgian neu- trality and have backed the protest by plunging America in the Euro- pean carnival of slaughter? 3. Do you favor repeal of the Rural Credits Act, passed by a Demo- cratic Congress, recommended and | approved by President Wilson, which | gives long-term credit at interest rates that promise an annual saving of $150,000,000 to the farmers? 4. Would you have recognized Victoriano Huerta as President of Mexico? 5. D you favor repeal of the Clay- ton Anti-trust Act, passed by a Dem- cratic Congress and approved by | President Wilson, which overthrew the | principle that the labor of a human | being is mere commodity of com- merce? 6. Will you, Mr. Hughes, recom- mend, and will the Republican party in Congress support a law establish- | ing universal compulsory military service in the United States? 7. Do you advocate repeal of the Federal Trade Commisston Act, pass- ed by a Democratic Congress, rec- ommended and approved by President ‘Wilson, which has given so much as- sistance to legitimate business enter- prises and under which adequate pro- tection against unfair competition is provided. 8. Mr, Hughes, would you have tried the policy of diplomatic nego- tiation as a means of summoning the moral force of law and neutral opin- ion to stop. Germany’s illegal use of submarines? 9. Do you favor repeal of the “porkless’” Good Roads Act, passed by a Democratic Congress and ap- proved by President Wilson for the | development of rural highways. 10. Would you, Mr. Hughes, have broken relations with Germany and 12. Do you favor violating neu- trality and risking the future safety of your country by placing an embar- go on munitions of war? 13, Do you favor repeal of the Ag- ricultural Extension Act, passed by a Democratic Congress, recommended and approved by President Wilson. which for the first time provides fa- cilities for carrying direct to the farmer practical scientific knowledge of how to increase the profits of his farm? 14, Do you favor intervention in Mexico? 15. Do you advocate repeal of the Grain Standards and Warehouse Acts, passed by a Democratic Congress, rec- ommended and approved by Presi- dent Wilson, which ald commerce in the great staple cereals and enable owners of stored agricultural products to secure loans on warehouse receipts on better terms? 16. What is your attitude towards the disloyalists of your party who have attempted to prevent the en- forcement by President Wilson, both on the part of the American govern- ment and by all American citizens of an honest neutrality towards all the | warring nations of Europe? 17. Inasmuch as the largest amount collected in any one year under the highest tariff ever enacted (Payne- Aldrich Act) was $833,000,000, what form of taxation would you substitute to pay a “Preparedness” cost of $630,- 000,000? 18. Do you favor the reactionary republican plan of granting huge sub- sidies to favored corporations, money collected from the people by taxation, as the best way of éncouraging the development of an American mer- chant marine? 19. Do you favor repeal of the Child Labor Law, the Anti-Injunction Law, the Seaman’s Act and related so- clal justice measures of high import- ance, passed by a democratic congress and recommended and approved by President Wilson? 20. Do you favor re-enactment of the Payne-Aldrich Act which betrayed vour party's campaign pledge of 1908 and which has been repudiated by many republican and all progressive leaders? 21. Do you stand with those pro- gressives and progressive republicais in congress who voted for practically all the progressive measures men? tioned above, or do you stand with the reactionary republicans who vot- ed against them? In conclusion, the two demoerati committees say: » “President Wilgson and the demo- cratic party submit their case to the American people on the record thaey bave made. Broadly speaking that iis the issue of the campalgn. Upon sent our young men by the hundreds | the public survey and estimate of that of thousands to nameless graves at ! the bottom of ,the Atlantic or in Flanders before the policy of diplo- matic negotiations had had thorough trial, 11. Will you undertake to repeal the income tax, passed by a Demo- cratic Congress, recommended and approved by President Wilson, which places a just share of the burden of record depends the outcome of the election, “If, as charged by you, Mr. Hughes, and your supporters, that record is bad and does not justify the continued confidence of the country it wiil be« come your duty. We submit that in all fairness the ‘American people, for | whose verdict you are contesting, are entitled to know how much of this taxation upon those best able to bear it? record you and your party will at- tempt to destroy if placed in power.” CO0D ARRAY OF NEW BOOKS NAMED IN INSTITUTE’S LIST THIS WEEK Days/in Attica, by E.
