PRESIDENT WILSON
AND HIS JOB

A man of insight, after a
long journey through seven
Western states, returned to
Washington with this opinion:
"The folks back yOnder are
watching Wilson and are say
ing, why, that's the man
we've been looking fOr.'"
Only five months in office
and see what he has done:
Got the tariff on the tObOg-
gan.
Canned the lobby.
Called Wall SITS panic bluff.
Started currency reforms.
And handled the Mexican
muddIe as If he had been doing
such things all his life.
These specific things aren't
however, the biggest of his
achievements. The biggest is
his taking hold of a rusty par
ty machine and make IL work
for the common good.

AFFECTS 5000 CHILDREN
Attorney General Hogan's Interpreta-
ton of Child Labor Laws.

Columbus, o. Aug. 6. - State Fac
tory Inspector T. P. Kearns estimated
that about 5000 boys and girls would
be forced to quit work in Ohio imme-
diately as a result of an opinion by
Attorney General Hogan on the child
labor law. The new law provides that
no boy under Is and no girl under 16
shall be employed in factories, mer-
camille establishments, etc. Under the
old law the age limit was IA years,
provided the boy or girl had school
certificate. Hogan rules that boys
and girls who were eligible to work
under the old law must quit work and
remain idle until they reach the age
limits Of the new law.

Will the history of the second Cleve'
land administration repeat itself in the
present administration? Will the Wall
Street banks by conspiring to beat down
the value of the two per cent govern
ment bonds succeed in blocking the cur
rency legislation, just as they are char
ged with having conspired i'll 1898 to
have their way about the repeal of the
Sherman silver law?
Certainly there is a striking similarity
of events in the present administration
and its Democratic predecessor, the
Cleveland administration which began
on March 4, 1898. Then, as now, the
two greatest issues confronting the new
president were tariff and currency. Then
as now, the special interests swarmed
down upon Washington to defeat the
will of the people. In 1898 the special
interests were successful? Will they be
in 1918?
On the tariff the question seems to be
already answered. The keen sighted
and courageous position taken by Presi-
dent Wilson toward the tariff lobby COM
pletely clipped the claws of that danger
GUS influence, and there now seems to be
little doubt that what will be passed will
express the presidents ideas on this i'm
portant subject
But is the administration now prepar-
ing to profit by the experience of the
Cleveland administration with respect to
currency legislation?
1t is charged and believed by such
Democrats as Senator Thomas of Colora-
do, the New York banks deliberately
conspired by depressing securities and
a money stringency to cause a
financial crisis which would teach the
people by an object lesson" that the
Sherman silver law must be repealed.
The times soon became so distressing
that special session of Congress was
and the Sherman law repealed
in few days.
The charge of Secretary McAdoo that
the banks are again conspiring against
the president s currency program by de-
pressing the value of currency bonds
thus has a familiar sound. The evident
intention is, according to Mr.. McAdoo,
to frighten the country banks into
opposition to the currency bill by con-
vincing them that the measure will in
lure these bonds and cause losses to the
banks
But even as President Wilson has
-outed the tariff lobby, he can prevent
my such conspiracy from being success

An exchange says that alcohol will re-
move the grass stains from summer
clothes. 1t may do that-it will do more.
1t will remove the clothes, both summer
and winter from not alone the back of
the man who drinks it, but also from
those of his wife and children. It will
remove furniture from the house, and
eatables from the pantry, the smile from
the face of his wife, and happiness from
the home. AS a remover, alcohol has no
equal. Well may it be termed King AL
cohol, for it rules with an iron hand he
who becomes subject to its power. Take
a look around town if you think this

VKTuV not give your lad

When was growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
did not understand, my mother, in
stead of giving me the definition when
applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn il, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question.-among other things,
how to use dictionary. and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged- -theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives me pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, it il
at present the best of the One-voIume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find it great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact SO full, and so Trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired. ALBERT S. Cook, Phi D., LID,

SIGNING 1. AND II.
PETITIONS
lOhio State Journal

The idea of sending a man around to
get names to an 1, & R. petition and pay
ing the man SO much day or so much a
hundred names is inconsistent with the
very idea of an I. & R. movement. 1t
doesn't represent the popular desire to
have hundreds of names procured on a
petition in any such manner. 1t
is a fraud on its face, for it does
not stand for the sincere wish of
the community. What petition should
is an honest and sincere desire.
There is nothing of that kind in a trump
ed up petition, especially where it is cir
culated by selfish or partisan interests as
is the case universally. The law ought
to make it a crime to handle such peti-
tions. They constitute the voice of the
healer rather than of the true civic spirit.

AMERICAN CAPITAL
IN CANADA
1.-THE Public, Chicago.l

The Public, Chicago.
The investment of $500, 900, 900 OF Am
erican capital in Canadian industries
during 1912 is causing a howl from Pro-
tectionists. Why it should is not clear
The Canadian protective tariff is forcing
American manufacturers who want to
reach Canadian trade to locate over the
boundary. Ofcourse they make the Can
adams pay a much higher price for their
products than they would if Canada had
free trade and imported the products
from this side of the line. So they are
investing in Canada in order to get a
better chance to tax Canadians. Taxing
the foreigner has always been popular
with Protectionists, but now that our
manufacturers have found way to act
ually do it, they do not seem at all pleas
ed. They now suggest a remedy which
is characteristic of the Protectionist mind
1t is that we keep on encouraging pro-
tected trusts to rob us and then, finally
the Canadians will get so tired of seeing
their neighbors over the line being pluck
ed that they will agree to deprive their
own trusts of graft provided we shut off
the graft from ours. Such an arrange

The Canadian tariff is by no means the
only nor the chief obstacle to the sale of
American made goods in Canada. Our
State and municipal taxes on industry,
exhorbNant charges of railroads and
other monopolies, and our own protect
i've system lay burdens on manufacturing,
the removal of which would more than
compensate for the handicap of Canadian
tariff. These can be removed without a
reciprocity agreement with Canada. Pro-
tectionists who favor Protection out of a
sincere though misguided interest in the
welfare of American industry should
favor such policy. Protectionists whose
interest in Protection is only to furnish
opportunities for graft can not be reason
ably expected to do else than shout
that the tariff must be let alone until
reciprocity has been secured

DISTRICT TO FIGHT
FOR K. OF {. HOME
Delegates to Boston Conference
Want Headquarters of Big
Catholic Organization.

A hard fight to bring the national
headquarters of the Knights Of Co.
lunbus to Washington and for the
appropriation Of 100000 to build
suitable home for the supreme officers
here, will be made By the District dele
gate to the supreme council Of the
order, which will meet in Boston the
week of August 5.
At the last supreme council in Col
orado Springs, the removal of the
headquarters from New Haven Conn.,
to Washington was recommended by
Supreme knight James A. Flaherty, OF
Philadelphia Action was withheld and
in the meantime State councils were
requested to ballot on the removal
question at their meetings this year,
which were held the first week In May.
Reports reaching Washington are that
most of the State councils which bal
Ioted favored Washington as the per-
manent home of the organization.
I'VE are prepared to put up hard
d MT to bring the headquarters here,
said Thomas ]. Donovan, past State
deputy, who, with E. P. Harrington.
present tSate deputy, will represent
Washington at the supreme council
meeting.
Capital IDEAL home.
I'VE feel that here in the National
CAPITAL is the ideal home for our organ
ixation. The present headquarters in
New Haven are too small to handle
the bushes of the organization. The
insurance feature has grown to such
proportions that there is now a total
of 100000 in the mortuary tund. IN
stead of making any further ex-
pendftures at New Haven, II is the
belief of influential knights all over the
country that the headquarters should
be moved to Washington and housed in
a miIlion-dollar building more in keep
ing with the magnificent proportions
to which our order has grown
There are 1,S0O members of the
Knights of Columbus in Washington.
The total membership of the order is
more than 10000. Impetus was given to
the movement for the removal of the
headquarters as the result of the visit
of thousands Of knights to Washington
at the time Of the dedication of the
Columbus monument fronting the Union
Station.
The knights already have shown their
interest in washington by contributing
$4,000 to the Catholic University as
a fund to provide fifty scholarships IN
This fund it is expected will have
grown to $4,000, the goal sought, by
the time the supreme council meets
next month, and the money then will be
paid over to the Catholic University.
Ransden Favors Inquiry.
Senator Ransden Of Louisiana believes
that the supreme council should make
an investigation of the reports that the
body of Columbus, whose name the
order bears, is now in the cathedral
at Santo Domingo, and not at Seville.

tor is inclined to believe that the
Santo Domingans are right. He also
favors the suggestion that IL these

makes the trip. State Deputy Harring-
ton says he will bring this matter be-
fore the Boston meeting.
