CITIZEN IS

Him Out of 1t.


WASHINGTON, Oct. s. John
Stalk, of Clarksburg. is an anxious
father who has asked the assistance
OF Congressman-at-larg Sutherland
in securing the release of his son
from the German army. The son,
John Stalk. Jr.. was to spend the
summer in Germany, and the last
news heard from him was from
Stuttgart. where he has been I'M

empts his son from the call of the
Fatherland for military duty. MT.
Sutherland has been at the State
Department every day for. over
week. without being able to secure
any definite information as to what
was being done, and was justly in
.dfgnant. when, on his last visit. he
discovered that the papers in the
case had been lost track of, and, SO
far, as he could see. nothing had
been done toward the release OF the
young man.
As, young Stalk is said to be at the
front, each day of delay caused
through the red tape of diplomacy.
increases the danger for him. and
the anxiety of those of his family
who await news in West Virginia.
Mr.. Stalk has been assured that the
case is now to be pushed through at

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Oct. s.
Democratic spellbinders are now on
their rounds Of the state trying to
tell the voters why they should cast
their ballots for q continuance OF
the present Democratic national adj
mipistration. They are carefully
evading the real issues of the CAM
paign and neglect to mention why
the high cost oftliving has not been
reduced under the free trade" tar
iff bill. as was promised by them In
1912.
They attempt to explain that the
deficit in the United States treasury
of about s1O0.oOO.O00 is due to the
European war, while every student
of the situation knows that it is due
to the extravaganza of the present
and the failure OF
the new tariff bill as revenue-pro-
Queer.
Before the European war broke
out It was plainly seen that the tar
jff was a dismal failure. 1t absolute
1y failed to reduce the cost of living
and removed protection from the
American working man. The DEM
ocrats themselves knew this would
be the case but they are now dis
agreeably surprised to find that the
bill is also a failure tfor revenue
