People are wont to scott at
Socialistic ideas and theories, but
it must be acknowledged that in
many instances they advance some
simple but sensible solutions of diff
ficult problems. While all Europe is
involved in terrible war, neutral
nations are endeavoring to adopt
some plan that will speedily result
in the termination of this awful
conflict. OF all the suggestions Of
fered to bring about peace, none ap-
peal to US with the high degree of
wisdom and common sense as does
the plan of Meyer London, a Social
ist elected to congress from the
Twelfth district of New York When
he reaches Washington, he will feel
1t duty, so he says, to induce con-
gress to stop the European war and
this he thinks can be accomplished
within a short time by declaring war
on war and keeping all war supplies
at home. Nations that are starving
can't fight" declares Mr.. London
Every shipload of supplies we send
the warning nations will enable them
to fight just that much longer
Every shspload we keep at home will
enable us to live just that much
cheaper"

NOW FOR 1916

The election returns of 1914 indi-
cate that the voters approve of the
president and his policies. They have
given him an increased Democratic
majority in the senate and a safe ma
jority in the hCuse-not as much of
an endorsement as his splendid re-
cord deserved, but enough for all
practical purposes.
The Republican gains in the louse,
however, are notice to the party that
it must grid itself and begin the cam
paign of 1916. The progressive Re-
publicans have almost disappeared
the membership of that party having
largely returned to the regular organ
ization. The fact that men who
marched with and shouted for Roose-
Welt have SO quickly returned to the
bosom of the standpatters shows how
incomplete an understanding they had
OF reform principles. President Will
son has more than fulfilled his prom
ises; his fidelity to the peoples cause
has been tested, and it has stood the
test. Surely he deserved the support
of those Republicans who profess pro-
gressiveness, but he did not receive
anything like the number which he
might have reasonably expected. A
larger percentage of them went over
horse. foot and baggage" to the re-
dictionaries. Cannon was returned to
TO the senate from Kansas! With the
closing up of the breach in the Re
publican party, New York, New Hamp-
shire. Connecticut, and other eastern
states have returned to the Republi-
can party. and the fight of 1916 must
be made on fundamentals. 1t is evi-
dent that the Republicans, whether
progressive or regular, will not, as a
rule. support Democratic president
even when he is laboring under great
International burders. They praise
him and express great satisfaction
that he has kept the country out of
war but vote for these who pledged
to support the president?-well, that
is another matter.
New that the lines CT battle are
drawn. 1t behooves Democrats to get
to work and convert Republicans
There never was a better time: the
voters are seeing Democracy success
fully applied to great questions. and
Democrats should be ready to point
ont and exrlain the difference between
the policies of the two parties-the
difference becomes more plain the
longer Democratic policies are tried.

This report covers complete sys-

The system recommended is a
steam power plant located at the
power house OF the city water works.

primary lines and transformed to
220-ll0 volts on secondaries.

space for the storage OF coal will

maximum demand will be about 400

SPEECHES NOT DELIVERED

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-The Bri- tish embassy tonight issued this statement:
 Certain persons have been circu- lating press reports of speeches sup posed to have been delivered by Bri- tish statesmen. Such for instance as that attributed to MT. Burns, which is @ pure fabrication.
 Recently the statement has been made as to the speech of Sir Edward Grey. in which he is quoted as say ing, Thepe will be no peace until Gel many is humbled to earth, her territory divided between Russia and France and her commerce definitely delivered to England
 Sir Edward Grey never delivered such a speech and the statement was obviously circulated with view to misiead public opinion
