THE ISSUE AND
 THE ARGUMENT

The Presidents first campaign let ter, addressed to Representative Un- derwood, proves that there Is some. thing more than the Wilson issue" before the country. There is the is. sue of a promise-keeping American democracy, a democracy of achieve ment and service. There is also the issue of great reformatory work, long demanded by the people, well un- der way. which ought not to be in- terrupted or abandoned.
 In Mir. Wilson's remarkable tribute to the Congress that is soon to ad- journ, he recognizes handsomely a devotion in public interests almost without parallel in our history There is neither exaggeration, nor self-glorificatlon in his expressions, and, except for the necessary conclus- ions that a legislative record so com. mendable should rebound to the ad- vanage of the party responsible for it, there is no partisanship. Team work" producing results so long wish ed for nay honest men of all parties he naturally thinks should find favor with the people at the polls.
 What this Congress has done is to restore democracy to the Nation. In every step that 1t has taken it has had the support of self-respecting Re publicans, pledged as solemnly as the Democrats. As the President does not fail to note, we are now approaching, as the fruits Of it's labors, democracy of taxation. democracy of opportunity, democracy of credit and democracy of government. Without a majority par. ty acting in harmony and good faith, the enactment of such measures would have been impossible.
 There is memorable logic rather than partisanship, therefore in Mir. ]

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 OF CONGRESS

President Woodrow Wilson's state ment of the achievements of Congress as to four important bills is given by the New York World.
 THE TARIFF--"The soil in which combinations had grown was re- moved lest some of the seeds of monopoly might be found to re- main in 1t. The panic that the friends of >rivilege had predicted did not follow. - The rev onue lost by import duties was re- placed by an income tax which in part shifted the burden of taxation to shoulders more certainly able to bear it."
 TRADE COMMISSION BILL-"Gon- gross has sought [" "to make men in small way of business as free to succeed as men in a big way and to kill monopoly in the seed. = with this new legisla- tion there is clear and sufficient law to check and destroy the nox- ious growth in it's infancy"
 THE CLAYTON BILL-"Monopoly is created also by putting the same men in charge of varieay of bus mess enterprises. by means of interlocking directorates. That the Clayton bill now in large meas. ure prevents. And so all along the line monopoly is to be cut off at the roots"
 THE CURRENCY BILL by thef Currency bill we have ere ated a democracy of credit such as never existed in this country be- fore. It provides a cur rency which expands as it is need ed and contracts when it is not needed. Credit is at tue disposal of every man who can show energy and assets"

 CHAS. H. COSGROVE. JAS. F. KENNEDY. CHAS. M. McGRATH.

In view of the fact that practically everything done during the laborious sessions now ending was long prom. ised by Republicans as we'll as Demo, crats, the argument in favor of non. partisanship in that quarter is all the stronger.
 Addressing himself wholly to the legislative situation at Washington, the President truly says that "the Democratic party is now the only in- strument ready to the country's hand by which anything can be accom- plished." Independent voters who are accustomed to the use of various az encles in making their will effective can hardly fail to respond to his "very confident belief in the practi- cal sagacity of the American people," -(New York World.)
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-10-30

Wilson's statement that if there is to be further progress at this time, the party which chances to be united, strong and full of the zest of sober achievement" must retain control of Congress, in spite of all that may be said in behalf of a party which has not grown to the statme that would warrant it's assuming the responsible burdens of state"
 Such an appeal as this, as regards the Congressional elections a week hence, would have much force on ac- count of our foreign relations alone.

The moment you apply it to an Itch

and the healing begins, says a noted
dermatologist. Just common bold sui

such prompt and remarkable results,
even in aggravated Eczema that it is
a never ending source of amazement to
physicians
While not always establishing per-
manent cure it never fails to subdue
the angry itching and irritation and
heal the Eczema right up and it is
often years later before any eruption
again appears on the skin.
Any good pharmacist will supply an
ounce of bold-sulphur which should
be applied to the irritated or infiamed
parts, like the ordinary cold creams.
It isn't unpleasant and the prompt
relief afforded Is very welcome,
particularly when the eruption is ac-
