President at Helm.

Among the many fine sentiments Of
the president of the United States, of
whom the people, without distinction
OF party, are proud. is that contained
in letter to Representative Doremus
in which Mr. Wilson says that Amer
lea is bigger than any party and can
not properly be served for a moment
by any man that measures his interest
against his country's advantage. He
secs the days to come as big with
destiny for the United States as for
the other nations Of the world.
Mr.. Wilson says that parties Will
fare we'll enough without nursing, II
tho men who make them up and who
lead them, forget themselves to serve
a cause and to set great people for
ward on the path of liberty and peace.
In this considerate sentiment the
head of the nation points to the
necessity for a unity of American
feeling and action In these great
times, so that the country may be in
the best position to engage In the
work that will fall to 1t, of aiding In
securing again the peace of Europe.

No Nation LIyeth to Itself.

In 1909 the United States adopted
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. This law
Increased among other duties the du'
ties ON silks. No complaints were
made in this country about the In
crease, for silks were regarded as a
luxury. But soon after the law went
into effect there were reports from
France of the shutting down of French
mills and the throwing Of men out OF
work on account of decreased exports
TO the United States.
Now this sort of thing always has
gone on and nobody has ever thought
to question the right Of a nation to
make its own trade arrangements. But
international trade relations are be-
coming closer every day and the world
is more closely bound together.
Isn't the time coming when nation
will not have the moral right to legis-
late without regard to the effect on the
people of other countries? Aren't tar
IFS finally going by the board because
of their danger to the peace and well
being of the world?-Kansas City Star

is A MESSAGE TO COUNTRY
Maine Election Shows How Nation 10
Pleased With the Administration
Of President Wilson.

The two chief features OF the Maine
elections are the steady growth in
favor of President Wilson's admins
tration, and the utter slump Of the
Bull Moose movement. The Democrat
ic vote has gained 18 per cent over
the record In the national election two
years ago-and the Progressive vote
has lost SO per cent.
The Maine campaign was fought on
national llnes-tarifr, trusts, currency,
and the foreign policy Of the Wilson
administration. The Progresslves, with
Mr.. Roosevelt personally leading their
canvass, have made desperate efforts
to hold their lines intact, and both
Progressives and Republicans have
labored increasingly to turn Maine
from all things Democratic. Local
issues helped to make the Democrat
ic task difficult-Maine is one Of the
three or four states In which a few
farmers actually benefited by the AL
drich tariff.
In spite of all these factors, the vote
for the Democratic candidate for gov
e-nor Is nearly one-fifth greater than
that given to Wilson in 1912, while the
Progressive vote has dropped from
$4,000 to about $4,000.
A similar change in the vote Of the
nation at large will keep both senate
and house Overwhelmingly in the Dem
ocratic column, and leave the Pro
gressives tying the Socialists for third
place.

Caused by overexpansIon.

The Clafiin failure simply proves all
over again what has been proved thou
sands of times before-the futility OF
overexpansion. Neither tariff laws Eor
alleged depression were responsible
for that failure. 1t is the old familiar
cry of biting off more than you can
chew" 1t also proves the economic
fallacy of too much consolidation. The
combination of thirty retail stores in as
many separated cities got beyond the
available capital of the mother con.
Germ. and also beyond the limits O,

Tho Whole Truth.

Anyone who seeks now to make
political capital out of business de-
preston in Pennsylvania, is playing
with dangerous toy. think in a
few months there will be a danger
GUS bareback for those gentlemen who
are working the depression as a pol
itical argument. There is no real de-
preston in Pennsylvania, except such
as results from a sympathetic rela-
tionship with the railroads. The en-
tire iron and steel industry, industries
furnishing equipment purchasing bust
nesses, mining. all are effected by the
railroad situation. Congressman A..

Country With the President.

The whole country viii support
President Wilson in his determination
to stay on the job" at Washington
and not go on the stump" in the con-
gressional campaign.
The presidents letter announcing
his decision to Chairman Doremus OF
the Democratic congressional commit
tee states an incontrovertible argu-
ment.
The mightiest world events in a
hundred years are occurring. No man
can tell from day to day what prob
lens may not come up for the imme-
date decision of the United States
problems OF our domestic concerns,
problems of our possible foreign en-
tanglements, problems of our willing
ness to act as mediator in the war.

Workers, WAGES Are Incre ased.

Voting their confidence in such re-
turn to good times that a record year
is in prospect, independent sheet and
tin plate manufacturers, principally of
the middle West, the Western Bar Iron
association, and the big independent
steel concern, the Republic Iron and
Steel company, have Just completed
signing scales for affiliated mills with
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers. which assures
peace for another year between the
independents and their men. In the
face of a period Of depression which,
when 1t occurred in the past, has
forced the Amalgamated Association
to accept reductions, an increase of %
cents from $525 to $3.50 in the base
for pudding was granted, and in all
other grades rates are continued as
they existed last year.

"The record" President Wilson says
in his letter declining to take part In
the campaign, speaks for itself"
1t does. In comparison with what
the record says, the promises Of poll,
ticians, and their explanations, are all
empty words. The record is what
counts.
Yet that is a fact which politicians
never will comprehend. They go on,
making promises and breaking them,
in the same old way. And they expect
to be able to smooth over their de.
ficiencies with smooth words, and get
away with 1t.
But the people are "on" more and
more. The record is what counts.

Means Expansion Of Trade.

The provisions Of the currency Law
which permit our banks to establish
foreign branches. together with our
new tariff law, will contribute beyond
the expectations of even intelligently
optimistic men to the expansion OF
American trade and commerce. A big
foreign trade will, of itself, tend great.

PUTS NATION FIRST
Action of President Wilson Was
What Was Expected.
No Thought Of Party When Duty Calls
lilly Place 10 at Washington, and
There He Intends to
Remain.

The presidents decision to remain
at work in Washington instead of
taking the stump FOR the Democratic
party is prudent and wise. He could
do much for the Democratic party on
the stump, but he can do much
more for the nation by remaining at
his post
The international situation is too
delicate to permit the Washington ad-
ministration to neglect its work for
the sake Of saving the Democratic
party. The nations interest requires
that the administration should be Wig
liant and unceasing in it's policy Of
neutrality. Important questions are
coming up every day in connection
with the European war Some Of these
finds that he must establish prece-
dents here and there, instead of fol-
lowing them. This is a task calling
for craftsmanship of the highest order.
The less the Democratic party tries
to play politics just now, and the
more 1t centers its efforts upon the
nations duty,-the better 1t will be for
the party. The majority will be held
responsible, as 1t should be, for any
blunder that might precipitate this ma
ton into war. There are possible COM
plications far this side of war, also,
which might prove extremely embar-
RAISING, and which 1t is the duty of
the Democratic leader and his party
to foresee and avert.
The presidents first duty now, more
than ever, is to look after the nation
as q whole, without regard to party.
