Made in America.
(Hartford Courant.)


They are getting interested all over
the country in the idea of buying goods
made in America. 1t is a splendid thing.
We got a lift even from that unrecon-
ciled free-trade organ, the Louisville
Courier-J ournal." which confesses that
1.-THE United States ought not to be de-
pendent upon any foreign country" But
for fear ne has said too much, the edi-
tor of the "Courier-Journar adds it
would not be desirable for this country
to build a Chinese wall of exclusiveness
around it," Yet he is willing to confess
that ut would be a mighty fine thing
if the conditions were such that the
United States could live and flourish on
it's own resources.
The war in Europe is bringing this
country around to it's old-time anchorage.
This idea of buying goods made at home
is no new thing. 1t is the old-time idea
of the Republican party. the idea of a
protective policy for the promotion of
American manufacturers. 1t made the
country so prosperous that many forgot
what the cause Of our prosperity was,
and they began to denounce both pros
perity and the cause of 1t. While this
antagonism to the principle of promoting
manufacturing at home was developing.
some of US neglected to observe what the
same policy was doing for Germany.
That country however, had learned a
lesson from US, and, adopting close
policy of protection, proceeded to develop
its home industries to the utmost.
While Germany was learning We were
fogetting. War abroad is showing us
| that our old idea was the best. AS the
"Courier- Journal says
In other words, 1t were well to be
able to live at home and board at the
same place" There is no question Of our
ability to do that in an agricultural way,
and we ought to be equally independent
| in an industrial sense.
OF course it were well. but why try to
beat around the bush? Let us encourage
the development of our home industries
by every means possible. Let US frank

Southern France Is one great hos
pital, and northern France is a battle :
field" said DR.. John C. Wise Of Wash
ington, who was a passenger aboard
the Febre Line steamship Roma,
which arrived Tuesday at New York
from Marsailles. DR.. Wise, who was
Dewey's surgeon general at the battle
of Manila Bay, had served for several
weeks in French war hospitals at
Paris and Bordeaux
THE atrocities being perpetrated by
the Germans on innocent noncombat-
ants in France and Belgium are beyond
conception" continued DR.. Wise. L
have seen instances of old men and
women knocked on the heads by gun
butts, and children killed outright.
Many of the Germans captured by
the French prior to the battle of the
Marine died mysteriously and with no
showing of wounds before they could
be removed from the battlefield. Au-
topsies showed that they had nothing
but grass and roots in their stom-
achs."
The German government cannot get
supplies of food to its millions of men
in the field, but the generous" Deer
concerns can send them booze With
which to leave a wake of bottles.
Have you read the boasts of the
American beer trust sheets?
But pity the men who are not only
the victims of an oligarchy but of q
false interchangeable conviction that
booze is a necessity Of life.

Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Head ache?
USE AnTI-KAMNIA TABLETS

Dr.. j. J. Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life,
but does not appear to be durable. Suffer-
ers from this affliction are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty years Of age, after
which the attacks are less frequent, and
nnaliy disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that 1t is
possible to suggest, while care In the diet Is
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
Anti-kamnia Tablets when the first symp-
toms appear, and one Anti-kamnia Tablet
every two hours during the attack shortens
IL, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamntalTablets may be obtained at
al druggists. Ask for AK Tablets. They
quickly relieve all Pain.

"VoiceIess Speeches."

Fxcuse us while we smile behind
the friendly folds of an exchange. we
ought not to do 1t, perhaps, yet no
one will question our loyalty to the
cause of equal rights for intelligent
citizens of our country. But the bran
new scheme of "voiceless speeches
for the cause of woman suffrage
struck us as rather incongruous.
Had you heard Of it?
The 'voiceless speech" promises to
be one of the important features IN
determining the result of the Con-
gressional elections this November.
The voiceless speech consists Of a
series of about a hundred sheets OF
paper each bearing some message TO
the voters. One of the campaigners
stands on a platform on a prominent
street corner and turns the pages OF
this voiceless speech so that the sur
rounding crowds may read. The
voiceless speech means that any num-
Der of meetings can be held at the
same time, as any worker can hold L
meeting in this way whether able to
speak or not.
1t seems to be only one more meth
cd of giving the lie to male preten-
sions. The last word" joke IS
crowded off into innocuous desuetude.
The mother in law idiocy was decred-
tied wears ago. Now comes the winal
fndup-"voiceless speeches" by wo-
men.
The voiceless speech Is being used
widely in the election campaign which
the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage is conducting in the. nine
states where women now vote, against
all candidates for Congress of the
Democratic party because Of the OPP
position of that party to the Federal
Suffrage Amendment now before Con-
gress. The idea was originated by
Mrs. Edna S. Latimer, who is in
charge of the Congressional Union
campaign in Kansas. Among the
messages contained in the voiceless
speech used by the suffragists are the
following:
"Defeat the Party which Blocks the
Federal Suffrage Amendment Vote
against the Democratic Candidates for
Congress.
"rhe National Democratic Party
has opposed the Federal Suffrage
Amendment; defeat the Democratic
Candidates for Congress"
"President Wilson has seven times
refused help to the suffrage move
ment. He has refused aid to every
Suffrage oeputation which has waited
upon him."
Mrs. George Armes. president Of the
District of Columbia branch of the
Wilson and Marshall League, has just
declared in favor of the election pol
lily of the Congressional Union fol
Woman Suffrage. and offered her CO.
operation. She says: Il felt at first
that to help the Congressional Union
In it's battle against the National

Some of the Democratic papers Of
the country are very much disturbed
over the slowness shown by Congr ess
in passing the war tax bill. There

for the timidity and the excessive de-

burden is TO be heaped upon them,
