portations OF wheat will be necessary
from this shortage. which compares with

THE LAST GREAT WAR?

-HE feeling is growing that the
war now being waged in Europe
i will he the last great conflict of
its kind. II is doubtful If this
much to be desired end will be real
lied. The longer it goes. the greater
the slaughter and the more extensive
the destruction, the more likely is it
that some agreement as to at least
partial disarmament will be reached.
but to believe that the end of all war
is in sight is too much. We must not
forget that there is Mexico and South
America at our own borders; that
there is India, with its teeming mil
lions discontented with their condi-
tons, and Africa with its savage peo-
pies, not to mention a host of other
places scattered all about the globe
where the spirit of arbitration will be
slow to penetrate.
The European war will make for
international peace in Europe if it
goes to the length of arousing each of
the countries involved to the enornity
of entrusting their lives to the crea-
tors of great military machines, but it
will not end bloodshed between clash
ing peoples the world over

AN AGGRESSIVE FIGHT

a S was recently indicated by one
~ who is more or less familiar
I y with the history of Pennsyl-
vania politics, the Republicans
of this State twice lost the governor
ship since 1860 by making defensive
campaigns; but if the Democrats and
their allies have any idea that the
campaign of 1914 is to be defensive
they will awaken to a realization of
the fact that the Republican host
which is now being mobilized in every
section Of Pennsylvania is going to
make the most aggressive fight in
the history of the party. There will
be no defensive tactics at any stage
of the battle and the little men who
are hopping about like corn on a
griddle will know a lot more about
politics when this campaign is over.
1t was the hope of these little men
that they could befuddle the voters by
frequent yells about platform
wholly unmindful of the fact that the
Republican nominees made their can

vass Before the people in an open
primary on fair and square declara-
tion of their principles.
AS the Telegraph has said before
on this point, the people of Pennsyl-
vania are not so much concerned in
this year of our Lord about high
falutin and spectacular declarations
of alleged principles as they are. re-
garding the qualifications of the men
who are now seeking office.
Party platforms are interesting in Q
way. but they are not vital under the
present primary system. At all events,
Senator Penrose, DR.. Brumbaugh,
Mayor Frank McClain. Henry Houck
and the other Republican nominees
will have ample time to meet the peo-
pie of PENNSYLVANIA face to face be-
tween now and election day and
discuss with them the issues-the real
issues of the campaign.

THE ENTERING WEDGE

N order to establish and have paid
by this government millions of
dollars of Civil War claims in the
South, the leader of the Demo
cratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives has proposed that it shall
not be necessary to prove the
Loyalty of the claimant to the gov
ernment at the time of the war.
This is the entering wedge Once
this proposition passes the Congress,
the Treasury will be swamped with
claims from every crossroads south
of Mason and Dixons Line, and Uncle
Sam will be forced to pay what
actually amounts to a money premium
upon the disloyalty of men who are
no longer content with his generosity
in long ago removing all civil dis
abilities that they incurred by their
rebellion against him.

FREE TRADERS HOIST BY THEIR
OWN PETARD

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. ]
Never at a loss to exploit a fallacy,
the free traders are vociferously declar-
ing that the war has erected a barrier
against foreign competition, and pro-
and honey.
Yet about the only prices which the
war has sent sky high are for goods
which come in free. Sugar, which the
Democratic tariff was to send down to
almost nothing, is the chief offender.
There has been no corresponding ad-
vance in American manufactured goods,
although, as the free traders say, they
have now absolute protection.
"Reveling in milk and honeyH Who
ever supposed that capital would invest
IN an industry requiring protection IL
the protection were not assured for a
definite period? There have been two
or three weeks of war. and free traders
ask an astonished country why it is
that there are no new factories in op-
Grafton as result. Well, one to en-
ploy 1000 men is about to be built in
Philadelphia. II anybody can give as
surance that the war will last long
enough, there will be many others.
a long war will compel America to
become self-supplying. That is the pur-
pose of protection. That 1t is effec-
tive free traders admit when they SOL
emnly announce that the withdrawal Of
European goods from our market rem
ders manufacture by us of the articles
IN question not only requisite but feas-
tble. They are relying on the war to
save the country from the effects of,the
Democratic tariff.

CARE FOR THE FARMERS

It must be an awful jar for those
! Democratic four-flushers who arc
going up and down the State decry-
ing the Republican Administration
and alleged indifference of Republican
officials for the farming class to be
confronted with the truth concerning
the situation.
More than 500 bulletins have been
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture on farm topics
and thousands upon thousands of
these bulletins are going into the
hands of the farmers who will be
benefited by the expert advice therein
contained. And, on top of all of this,
the State Department of Agriculture
is doing as much more for the agri-
cultural interests of Pennsylvania.
These bulletins are of practical and
educational Importance and have
been prepared by the leading experts

POLITICAL SIDEuCHTS

Congressman Keiss is forming the
First Voters Republican League, to
cover every congressional district in
Pennsylvania.
For three successive years Con-
gresham 4. Mitchell Palmer at pre-
vious Lehigh Democratic county meet
ings denounced Charles NJ. Schwa b
and the Bethlehem Steel Works. and
he gloried in declaring that he was
doing his best to destroy an industry
that he called a machine of destruc-
ton. On Saturday at the Lehigh
Democratic county meeting at
Schnecksville he turned right about
face and in an appepal to the voters
of Lehigh county. who are employed
at Bethlehem. he declared he was the
greatest friend the Bethlehem Steel
Company ever had.
Bitter factional feeling among
the Democrats is counted upon to helm
materially in the campaign to elect
John d. Hoffman, Republican, to Con-
gress in the Bethlehem district. Mr..
Hoffman, who is a former borough So
licitor. is well known and popular and
is making an exceptionally good cam
paigner.
Chairman John r. Halsey, of the
Republican party in Luzerne county.
has his campaign we'll under way and
from reports he has received from all
sections of the county he declares thai
the Republican ranks are united and
that the party will poll a normal vote
for all candidates from United States
senator down to the smallest of the
county offices. The Democrats are
seriously divided.

the Washington party, at it's meeting

sives to fuse with the Democrats, but
it was turned down.
