nOLD YOUR POTATOES.

From the Snow Hill People
Ordinarily it is a dangerous prac-
ticc TO give advice, especially regard
ing anything that effects another's
pocketbook. There is an old Greek
proyerb to the effect that advice. like
salt should be given sparingly. How
ever, we believe that II our suggestion
regarding potatoes is needed il will
mean many thousands extra dollars
to the farmers Of Worcester cOun-
~. and for this reason we are en-
boldened TO say. Hold your potatoes. "
We have heard from reliable
sources that potatoes will in all
probability reach unheard Of prices by
the coming spring, at least there is
hardly any likelihood Of a drop in
the potato market.
Let us analyze the situation: In
1911 potatoes reached S1.25 Il bushel,
and then in the face of exported stock
from the potato fields of Europe.
This year practically all. Europe is in
the throes Of war, and there is not the
slightest probability Of a single bushel
of potatoes being shipped from Europe

4 COLp.RLOOpED ANALYsIs.

DREsIDENT WILSON and his associates are telling
their friends that there is abundant ground for
Democratic rejoicing TO be found in the Democratic
victories" in Maryland and Kentucky.
Fortunately the Republican victories in AIassachu-
sets, New Jersey and New York were not Of the same
character
The Democrats elected their Governor in Maryland
and he succeeds Republican these are the facts.
Governor Goldshorough. the Republican was elected
four years largely The result of a split in the
Democratic party. That party had nominated Arthur
German son Of the late Senator German, and many
Democrats determined to purge their State Of Cor
manism,' voted for the Republican candidate This
year, however, the Democrats were united and they
succeeded i'm eecting their candidate by about 900
majority Furthermore. t is the conviction Of many
able Marylanders that had this years Republican fight
been made on national instead of local. issues the 600
Democratic majority would have more than over
come Eight years ago. when both parties were united
the Democrats elected the Governor by majority OF
5000 Mr. Wilson's popularity therefore has reduce
ed the normal Democratic majority in Maryland from
5000 to 1000 votes
In Kentucky Mr. Wilson's popularity has had an
even more serious effect on his party Four years
ago the Democrats elected their candidate for Gov
ernor by majority Of $1,000 votes This year they
have elected their candidate II he is eected-it will
take official count 10 decidedly $50 votes. His own
supporters do not claim for him a majority OF over
500. So according Democratic claims, Wood

TEUTOMC EMIssAmEs AND THEIR WORK.

The European nations will seek

The sudden renewal OF peaceful in
dustry in Europe will soon create a
surplus OF goods. Then will come
the most dangerous form OF dumping.
Since il is obvious that the European

have less competition, they will dump
their surplus goods into America at
prices even below the cost of produce

Ii is time now. therefore, for us to
prepare for the coming industrial war.
1t is a menace far more vital than ac-
tual war, over which we are so much
concerned. For us it is a question Of
national defense arising out of col
ossal International war, and it must
be met with broad-minded statecraft
and not by any party politics.
Obviously we must put up our de-
lenses and place them in the hands
of skilled business strategists. 1t is
not a question that can be solved in
Congressional hearing rooms.
Secretary Of Commerce Redfield has
a tentative plan to curb European in
dustries by an amendment to the An
thrust laws, forbidding foreign cor
porations from doing business in this
country unless they conform to our
Sherman law. This means endless
litigation. with no hope of a solution
until long after the crisis has past.
most of the damage done, American
business invaded from coast to coast.
The Sherman law causes enough
tribulation in American business Cir
cles now without our seeking to apply
it TO the rest of the world. Il will
cause more confusion when. OF all
times. We shall want less. It would
be just the method by which 10 aid
the jealous European countries to
ruin our new prosperity.
The question is too vital for con-
fusing litigation. II is a question of
national defense. Our army could not
repel an invasion by appealing to the
Sherman Antitrust law We must not
expect our industrial army to suffer
this invasion.
Our industrial defense is our tariff.
We must keep out pauper goods from
war-sodden Europe. The problem is
economic and complicated. We must
have an industrial board of strategy
to watch the situation. learn all its
qualifications and close all gaps in
our defenses. This board must be an
expert tariff. commission.

stated in this newspaper a few weeks

has been opened up in South America,
and today that great continent is look
ing to us for white potatoes. In addi-

more than half of a crop. whereas
in 1911 there was on hand one of the

American business conditions will
be more disturbed after the great
war than during the conflict. AT pres
ent the belligerent nations are alb
sorbed in crushing each other Now
they are seeking to buy all that we
can sell, from shrapnel to shoestrings.
With the coming OF peace those ma
tons will try to recuperate from their
enormous losses by grabbing all the
world trade they have lost An indus
trial war, in which we will have the
most TO lose, and into which we shall
be drawn. will follow the present crl-
sis. Obviously we must prepare to meet
the coming struggle in the best way

tories now working overtime to sup
ply war materials must be converted
to other lines Of trade. How seriously
this transition will affect American
industry will Of course depend upon
our skill and forethought
The other attack will come from
the belligerent nations themselves in
their effort to recover lost trade. To-
day their Industries are being pauper-
lied by child and female labor Wo-
men have gone into Industry to take
the place of men who have gone tothe
front. Since many OF the men who
have gone to the front will never
come back, many Of the women who
have gone into industry will never 60

The men who do come back will be
forced TO seek almost any kind OF
work they can find to cover the diff

able those nations to produce cheap

Editorial Opinion
CONSUMPTION FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE

From the New York sun.
A surprising suggestion has come from
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge OF the
War Department, in speech at San
Francisco in support of the Presidents
plan for national defense. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge asserts in substance that if the
military policy proposed by the admin
istrstion will not work the country will
have to resort to CONSUMPTION.
Ills sort of talk is very much to be
regretted. 1t does not help the cause Of
national defence. 1t is impossible to
determine prior to a full discussion and
consideration of the question by Con-
gross and by the country at large
through the press what particular
scheme OF national defence will be most
likely to suffice for the needs of the
country. This much. however. is GER
tain: if one plan will not work, then re-
sort should be had to another. and am
other and another, until one is devised
which proves satisfactory-an all this
without any thought or suggestion Of
enforcing the performance Of military
service by means of CONSUMPTION.
If the people of this country do not
care enough about its institutions to de-
fend them without being forced to do
80 by compulsion of law. then they are
not worthy Of the freedom which has
been guaranteed to them by those in
stitutions ever since the nation was es-
tablished II Americans are so indiffer-
ent or cowardly that they have to be
forced to fight in defence of their
homes and property. to say nothing Of
their wives and children. we may as well
confess that the Republic is not worthy
Of preservation.
We are not willing to believe that
things have come TO such pass as this.
The milksop spirit of peace at any price
which is manifested in little college
societies whose members take a solemn
oath never to tight for their country. is
somewhat blatant, but does not repre-
sent any widespread sentiment in the
community.
The idea of military CONSUMPTION is
alien to the spirit of American institu-
tions, and it is very unwise for any adj
vocate of national defence to invoke it
as a threat to compel the acceptance Of
a particular plan or scheme. The adj
ministration should make it clear that
under no circumstances viii il accept OF
favor q plan which includes the clement
OF CONSUMPTION.

T will be impossible for the Democratic national
