BAIL BPH H. HEN THE PROSPERITY CLAIMS. Democrats continue to put emphasis lon ‘the claim that the munitions ex- ports for the fiscal year amount to * ome per cent. of the manufactured pro- ts for the same period. The point they intend to make by such a yment i3 that that is-all the bene- shich this country has received as result of the war and that the rest of it has come from %he demo- efatic policies. ‘Nothing of course could be farther #rom the facts, for while that may be all that has been gained in the mak dng of munitions, it is to be realized that there is hardly an industry in the country which has not been af- fected by the war. Dusiness in gen- eral took on an entirely different as- pect following the opening of the war. Demands have been made upon this itry not solely for munitions but every line of goods. Foodstuffs in t quantities have been sought. ufactured goods have been bousht by countries which used to buy them of the bellizerent nations, but cannot do so now. The imports have affected because Kurope was liged to turn to other things and as thegresult goods which were imported { Mave had to be manufactured here, S fhus it is not in munitions solely that [ industry has been helped but in all 8. One per cent. may cover the from munitions but that repre- ‘ments. only a small part of the actual gain from the war. And this is being pointed to as the Mflemocratic prosperity. The real dem- oratic prosperity, however, js that ~ which took place back in 1913 and #1914 before the war, when the marc | ing ldle were crying for food, when | moup kitchens and breadlines were es- 1 tablished to supply the wants of those Enlb had been putout of work by the elosing af factories, when industries ' were passing dividends and when the Aguumnrmon was trying to help bus- { iness and the individual by free t £ policies. And the guarantee against return of such times lies in the “xéadoption of republican policies and otection. de ELECTION PREDICTIONS. ith the campaign in its closing interest increases in the pre- 'which are being made by who are in a position to know thing of which they speak.

Bven though Berlin was the first t6 announce the withdrawal, it does not remove the credit from the French, for it was declared following the as- sault which took Fort Douaumont that the enveloping movement was such as to make Fort Vaux untenable and the move which the Germans have made simply supports that claim and- em- phasizes all the more the real accom- plishments of the French offensive of 't month. Just why the Germans endeavored to take Verdun, resulting as it has in the enormous waste of men, guns and ammunition has never been fully un- derstood, except that they had placed too much confidence in their strength and ability and had hoped to profit by the prestize which would have been zained had they succeeded in,captur- ing it, or that they sought thereby to prevent an allied offensive elsewhere. Except that they have succeeded in holding onto the valuable mining and manufacturing sections of the allies so much longer because of it, it has been a complete failure. THE DEUTSCHLAND LESSON. The arrival in this country of the submarine Deutschland with a cargo of $10,000,000, and the admission by the captain thereof that the -sister ship, the Bremen, carrying a_similar cargo has been lost, doesn't indicate that Germany has shown any indus- trial collapse. It does show on the other hand that despite the necessity of turning attention in Germany to the production of war supplies it still has a chance to put forth goods which are wanted In this country and enough of them so that they can be exported at a handsome profit, and this even thoush a valuable shipment has been lost. Such being the situation during the war, what can be expected after the war is over? Germany has not been crushed industrially because of the war. Far from it. In fact there is no chance that it will be and what is true of that country is likewise true of the others. It only requires the closing of the war to have those na- tions turn their factories, their work- men, women as well as men, towards the regaining of the markets which ithey formerly held, and they will do their utmost In that direction. With a freo trade policy in this country it furnishes one of the best flelds for developing a market. What is now being obtained here from abroad vill not be wanted"then. The millions in the ics will become active pro- ducers' and this country must then re- turn to the conditions of 1913 or 1914. The only escape from it lies in the placing in power of the republican party which will give protection to American industries. NO SYMPATHY FOR TURKEY. Turkey has done its utmost to es- cape the respensibility for the fright- ful conditions which have taken place in Armenia and Syria. It has -at- attemnted to sav that they were terrj- bly e and even that thds had not taken place, but such claims are overbalanced by the facts which it was impossible to suppress Now Halil Bey, the Turkish minis: ter of foreign affai to apolo- gize at this,late dafe for what has been done and what was not prevent ed, comes forth with the statement that Turkey ought not really to be blamed for its actions for the Armen- an leaders were warned against the danger of plotting against Turkey. He admits that the young Turks always looked upon the Armenians as a va uable asset and says “that the joss to the Ottoman empire through the de- portations of the Armenians has been mmense. The Armenian is able and industrious and therefore valuable in the economic scheme, but what could be done? It isn’t what Turkey could do but what it has done that has shocked civ- ilization. Turk has lived up to its reputation. It not only instituted a policy of massacre but of ravage and cruelty against the women and chil- dren-as well as the men, the haif of which has not been told. uch claims as the foreign ministef has put forth were to be expected but they will gain Turkey no sympathy throughout the civilized world. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The versatility of President Wilson makes it a foregone conclusion that he will be a cheerful loser. The man on the corner says: Man makes the most of his own troubles, and some of the other fellow's. When that New York bell boy was informed that he was heir to six mil- lion dollars he got the tip of his young life. In all probability Berlin- is begin- ning to wonder what the next note from the United States will have to offer. . The democrats are doing their best to put forward a brave front, much like the boy in the dark who whistles to keep up his courage. It is about time someons pointed to the new moon as an indication of what can be expected from the con- test between the wets and drys. e Thus far November doesn't threaten anything very serious in spite of some of the horrid predictions made con- cerning the things it has up- its sleeves. If that attack'by Villa upon Ameri- cans does take place possibly the ad- ministration has secured enough cour- age as the result of the criticism it has received to stand up for Ameri- can rights. Préident Wilson has an excellent opportunity to make a move towards his_promise to reduce the high cost of living by bringing about a -reduc- tion in the price of coal, foodstuffs and other necessities. i3t ¥ St 5 IS The German embassy says that if the submarine which sank the Marina exceeded instructions the commander will be punished.

Good clothes canuot take the place of good training or good judgement, but they have a pull for personal favor, and are a good and legitimate adver- tisement. Ragged ' or dirty clothing excite pity-and disgust, too. and the one often nearly balances the-other. Becoming clothes do not necessarily .|make a man look like a fashion plate, but they never fail to give him an ap- pearance of’ thrift which is never less than commendation.

Those ‘men whose megrims are their capital stock and wha labor to pro- duce action by exciting fear in any direction are a_ pestiferous lot, whether they wear a white necktie or carry & red flag. Dlost fears proceed from a morbid imagination or suspicion not well founded. It is-not the fear of God which delivers us from the fear of men; but the consciousness that we are in accord with divine law and in harmony with Him. Fear incapaci-~ tates man—Iovo increases his strength. It was Napoleon who said: “He who fears being conquered is already sure of defeat” Fear i3 nesative -to achievement, and the fosterer of das- tardly deeds. We should guard against error and against our enemies, but to fear them is to be handiezpbed and invites disaster. To vield to fear is to be robbed of sanit There are theorists today who tell us if we do not radiate it is because we have not yet found this bright cen- ter. This looks to me more like lan- guage than it does like sense; but it may look different to you. We are not all born with radiant centers, for if we were we should depend iess upon brass-buttons and rhine-stones to r: iate for us. We are not all born with power to develop equal piyical pow- er or mental capavity. It is differen- tiation in all kinds of life which giv variety and keeps something new de- veloping from the old.

Did you ever think that many of the seed pods in the sarden are little in- habited worlds; or that an ordinary bean may be the cradle of half a dozen ‘baby weevils. And these tiny creatures In their expression of life seem to have a knowledge of peril and of joy of good things as well as we. In the dahlia pods there are tiny types of insects like the squash-bu: the cucumber beetle and the caterpillar of the syrphid fiy: but for size in comparison they are as the dog to the elephant or the eel to the hoa-con- strictor. They live and move and have their being in the svace of from a third to a half inch. Magnified twenty times they are not half the size of an exclamation point! And compared with the bacteria which may be taken up in any pinch of earth in the fingers, or the disease bacilli of the sclentists, they are as much larger as the dog is larger than the fly. It is marvellous how many million forms life fin expressign in, and every form of activity up to the laws-of its being and functions in accords to its design. It is not strange life is beyond the comprehension of man, or that divine mind working through these myriads of forms in past finding out. That was a wise preacher who called our attention to the fact that when the Lord searches the human heart, he does not look:to see whether he can find a Presbyterian or Meth- odist, Baptist or Episcopalian, Roman Catholic or Jew, Gentile or Sweden- borgian. He does not look to see how many pravers we have said,. or what occlesiastical dress we wear. He looks for His own image and likeness, jand it he finds it, however faint the outline and dim the form, He knows that we are His children. He feels drawn to us by a _Father's love; He knows that we are making room for Him to come to us. that we are open- ing the door to receive Him, and as He enters in with the glory of His divine truth and the quickening warmth of His divine love, we should come more fully, deeply and blessedly into the sphere of His divine life, and we should be lifced up and drawn closer to His infinite heart. The brotherhood of man is better expressed by little acts of kindness than by all the creeds and professions to be found in walks of life. % advlce to look back over condi provailed in Norwich - Thers is no sccougt that the plant: ced a ever deprived at comforts of life, ‘His- tory of Norwich states. trary, they seem: to have had abund- ant harvests, and to have been gen- erous livers. ugh their modes of cooking were simple than those now in vogue, the variety of susten- ance was nearly as great.

Beware of jeal- ou Write it large, all you who find it cating the heart out of your happi- ness and spoiling the fine enthusiasm of your endeavors. Jealousy is one of the most deceit- ful of vices. It cheats us at every turn. The jealous person thinks he is poor simply hecause others are rich, that he Is miserable because others are happy. He feels that fate has played 2 mean trick on him. Instead of trying to do something and be somebody himself, he spends his time in_envious wender at the means and gifts by which others about him have succeeded. He reaches the sullen con- clusion that some secret string has been pulled in behalf of these success- ful ones, that they bave been unduly favored by nature. There could be no more fatal self-deception. Jealousy brings us into the unpro- ductive mood of hatred and suspicion when what we need most of all is a mood of admiration. The other man's success should be an inspiration and not a mocking taunt to us. It should get us about our own particular work with fresh determination to suceeed also. One who can never endure the sight of another’s prosperity wholly misses this fine incentive. Through sour discontent the fountains of his own life are poisoncd and he is just so far forth disqualified for worthy per- sonal achievement. It is generally mediocre people, after all, who are jealous. Those who have reached someé worth while goal are; general too magnanimous to be send- ing any green-eyed glances toward those who may have gone a iittle be- vond them.

They certainly did not find it among the Indians.” . The beans were put into the oven early in the morning, crowned with a choice portion from the pork barrel, and having been kept all day seeth- ing and browning, appeared upon the supper table, hot and juicy, and with their respectable accompanfnient, the slashed and crispy pork, gave dignity to the best table. ~This was the uni- versal Saturdey night treat; so that Wits would say the inhabitsnts knew when Sunday was coming only by the previous dish of baked beans; and that if the usual baking should be at any time omitted, the ovens would fall in. _ There can be no doubt, the histor- ian says, that the name of Bean Hill was bestowed on a part of the Town- Plot from the prevalence of this Sat- urday night treat. Alas! In those days there was no European War to cause the humble bean of Norwich consumption to be- come an article of luxury, so that be- cause American beans must help to- ward feeding the armies in the field, 4 quart of beans costs twenty-five cents. Bean porridge was also in those carly days a common breakfast dish. In other places, peas were more generally cultivated than beans.

T THE DICTAGRAPH. l POLITICAL Princeton’s Disillusionment Wilson, (An extract from Owen Wister's ar- ticle, “If We Elect Mr. Wilson,” in Collier's Weekly of Nov. 4th.) It took Princeton some years to get undazzled. He began there as a great light. A few months ago, when the Princeton Alumni dined in Philadel- phia, the first fact printed about it next morning was that Mr, Wilson'’s name had not been mentioned in toast or speech! sSuch a silence seems worse than anything the college of which he had been president could have said about him. Could there be a clearer sign of what they now think? briefly About Why they think it can be explained by three selected incidents. In 1903 Dean West of Princeton wrote a book, proposing certain plans for the establishment of a graduate college at Princeton. For this book.Mr. Wilson Wrote a preface sweepingly indorsing these plans as “in every way admir- able” In 1906 when Dean West of- fered to leave, discouraged by the iack of support from Mr, Wilson, Mr. Wilson wrote a resolution which the trustees of Princeton adopted. urging him “with the utmost concern to re- main, and promising full support. Re- lylng on the good faith of his action, the dean remained—but when it came to carrying the plans out Mr. Wilson opposed them with all the adroftness of which he is master. When asked why then had he endorsed them, he stated that he had written his preface before he had seen the book.” Grover Cieveland, then chairman of the Trustees' Committee, denounced and resisted Mr. Wilson's methods. It was when about to retire from ‘the presidency of Princeton that Mr. Wil- son_applied for the Carneglo pension. He was told 1t was meant for broken- down teachers, mot for men In full vigor, earning a salary and about to be governors of states. He persisted.

After describing_ the growth of do- mestic industries following the enact- ment of a protective tariff law in 1812, Mr. Wilson tells what happened after the close of the Napoleonic wars, when the tariff had been revised downward: “Peace changed the very face of trade. English merchants poured their goods once -igain into the American ports so long shut against_them by embargoes and war. 3 It svas manifestly injurious to every Young industry that a flood of English imports should continue to pour -into the country at the open ports. The remedy was a protective tariff, such as Mr. Hamilton had wished to see at first, and the young republican leaders of congress did not hesitate to advocate and estaplish it.” That was what Mr. Wilson said when he was writing history and had, no political end to serve. It is plain fact that Furope has not vet ap- proached the state of exhaustion that it had reached at the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars, and it is un- likely that any such condition will be reached.

And he tells us that Europe will be unable to take advantage of this low tariff because Industrially exhausted! As a matter of fact, history shows that every great Furopean war has been followed by a highly geveloped industrial activity.

Recently the National Hughes Alli- ance requested Professor Charles J. Bullock of the Department of Econom- ics, at Harvard Upiversity, a noted aufhority on taxation, to tell why he will vote for Hughes instead of Wil- son—for whom he voted in 1912. His reply is given below HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Department of Economics. Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 28, 1916. My principal reason is found in the statistics of Americans murdered in Mexico, to which Mr. Roosevelt called attention in his recent speech of Phoenix, Ariz. Mr. Roosevelt states that so far not a single German has been killed, and only one Englishman; while the Mexicans have killed over 300 Chinese and over 500 Americans, Allowing for any possible margin of error, due to the difficulty of ascer- taining all the facts under the unfor- tunate conditions prevafling in Mex- jco, these figures undoubtedly give one a tolerably correct idea of what Mr. Wilson's feeble and unintelligent pol- icies have brought us to. Germans, it will be observed, are perfectly safe even in the midst of Mexican revolu- tions. One Englishman has been kill- ed, but that murder brought conse- quences - which have so far deterred the Mexicans™ from committing an- other. Three hundred or more China- men have been killed because, unfor- tunately, they have no government that is able to protect them. But five hupdred Americans have been mur- dered ‘because _their government, though able to protect them, refused to do so. % Our international status, it Will be seen, is worse than that of China, and infinitely more shameful because we kave had & President too proud to protect American ecitizens who hap- pen to go south of the Rio Grande. : . e Instead of following the o= for your valuables. .
