PARTY REUNION

nHILIP NJ. CLARK, a Progressive
il leader in Massachusetts,, who.
only two years ago, was able to
poll $4,000 votes when a candidate
for district attorney In his county
declares his allegiance to the Re-
publican party.
In letter to the Republican State
committee he warns his former Pro-
gressive party associates against con-
fusing their ideals with "the con-
tinued existence of a political party
which the people have decided to dis
card. Those who led the Progressive
party in it's early days no longer
lead; those who control its organiza-
ton and shape its course fail abso-
lutely to inspire confidence; its voters
have Vanished.
Mr.. Clark declares his continued
faith in Progressive principles, but
believes they can be enacted into law
through the Republican party. "The
Democratic party" he says, lis at
heart reactionary; the best proof is
it's record in the Southern States,
where its control has been absolute
for years. The Republican party, on
the other hand, has splendid record
of progressive legislation, accom-
plished not only in Massachusetts, but
throughout the country. Recruited as
it is by thousands of Progressives
who have every opportunity under our
direct primary law to make them
selves felt in it's conventions and in
the selection of its candidates, 1t
should be the party of constructive
accomplishment in the future"
Mr.. Clark has expressed the thought
of thousands of other Republicans
who voted for Roosevelt in 1912.

BUSINESSMEN IN CAMP


They are not all youthful, these men
who would fit themselves to be officers.
Nor can some of them well spare the
time and effort they are giving. There
are men of large affairs and heavy re-
possibilities at Plattsburg.
Dudley Field Malone. collector. of the
port at New York, has not had a real
vacation for five years. Malone is at
Plattsburg. Before he left New York l
got his view of the apparent breaking
down of the opposition to military
training.
81 see nothing but sane Americanism
in it. he said. 1--WE stand apart from
other great nations by reason of the
character of our happiness. Our happi-
ness rests on the security of our instt-
tutions. While we do not expect to be
drawn into this war, we have the intel
ligence to realize that three or four
thousand miles of water does not to-
day, mean the isolation that once was
ours; and that while Washington s
army, which could be carried on mod
ern transport, was sufficient to estab-
lish our institutions, should we be
forced to defend them to-day we should
require something much more power
full and far more complex.
I'VE are rapidly coming to recognize
the necessity of proving adequate
means of defense, We are going about
il quietly. sanely. speedily and INTEL
am among men who are the bone and
sinew of our export trade. They are
of one mind on this question of military
| training. They feel that we can pro-
vide for defense without the spectacle
of swashbuckling soldiers. strutting
and know that militarism in any guise
is impossible in the United States" -

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

ID ECENT events have shed new
N light on the practice of selling
American products at one price
at home and at another price abroad.
A few years ago there was much
criticism of some manufacturing con-
Germs which, in order to keep men
employed and factories running full
capacity, produced more goods than
the home market would absorb and
sold the surplus abroad at a reduced
price. The reduced price was nee
essary in order to sell the goods in
competition with the foreign pro-
ducer.
Now, it appears, the United States
Steel corporation is selling much of its
product abroad at higher prices than
received at home. In the former in
stance, as at present, the foreign sales
gave employment to American labor
and furnished a market for American
raw material Formerly, the Amer
ican manufacturer had to undersell
his foreign competitor in the foreign
market. Now the European war has
cut off the competition. In the days
when the surplus product was market
ed at cut price abroad, the wage
Garner received no less than he does
to-day.
All of which is food for thought
among men who are interested in the
problem of finding a job for the
American workman whether a war is
raging in Europe or not

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MOTION PICTURE CARBoNs

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
1 was interested in seeing a clipping
from your issue of August in which
you mention the carbon plant which
is going to start operation at St.
Marys.
You say motion picture carbons are
manufactured at the new plant, which
is the only one of its kind in the
United States" l know you don't
moan to make statement so far from
facts as this. The facts are, that the
National Carbon Company with it's
eleven branches in this country and
Canada, has been making protector
carbons for the last twenty years,
manufacturing them in fairly good
sized quantities. Since the war began
we have been running over time turn
ing out these carbons. In other words.
there are other plants in the United
States doing this sort of work.
Yours very truly,
NATIONAL CARBON co.

GET Your MONEYS WORTH
tFrom the Philadelphia Evening

tFrom the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger
The delegates to the annual conven-
tion of Pennsylvania Sealers of Weights
and Measures were not the first men to
discover that the public cares little
about full measure when 1t buys. I'm
scrupulous merchants discovered it
long ago. They have given short
weight for years, with little protest
from the consumers. Now and then
thrifty and careful housewife has
weighed the things she has bought and
then compelled the merchant to make
restitution of that of which he has
been, cheating her, But most of them
are Indifferent. and so the few scoun-
drels among the tradesmen prosper.
The officials whose duty 1t is to en-
force the law regulating the standard
of weights and measures may some day
be assisted more generally. by the pub
lie. but the cost of living will have to
soar still higher before the average
family will begin systematically to
insist on getting it's moneys worth
And so long as ii does not insist 1t will
be practically impossible for any corps
of official inspectors to detect ali viola
tions of the law.

SUSTAINING THE PRESIDENT

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chi
n cago Tribune raises a question
of extreme pertinence at this
time when everybody is being called
upon to sustain the President" He
points out-what happens to be the
fact just now-that 'in a five-cornered
Presidential contest the winner may
receive barely two-ifths of the en-
tire vote. He may represent theories
that are incorrect and at variance
with the other, three-fifths. which If
put into effect might injure the coun-
try. Should such President ignore
Congress and put his theories into
effect" he asks, must l follow
him?"
Thousands of voters who are loyal
to the President in his foreign policy
have been asking themselves how
much farther they need go.

A BRYANEsQUE REMEDY
TINE weather has plainly been g

i ting on Secretary Redfeld's
nerves and, when criticised for
the manner in which he is conducting
the Investigation" of the Eastland
disaster, he bursts into what the dis
patches describe as "a heated speech. &"
We can easily believe the story. 1t is
typical of the department chiefs in this
administration. Any one of them
thinks a speech or an open letter is the
one perfect remedy and the one ade-
quate defense for anything. What the
country wants is fewer speeches and
more action.

JAPAN IN THE WAR

N all the NolumlnouS comment on
the German invasion of Russia and
conjecture as to the result of a
possible German victory of the first
magnitude, one important factor has
been omitted. Nobody has mentioned
the part Japan will be called upon to
play in that case On this may hinge
the decision of the vast campaign in
the East.
Japan is now at war with Germany,
but has been content with the pro
lection of Japanees interests in the
Far East" to put it into the words
of the Japanese declaration. Japan
has disclaimed any intention of go
ing further than this. But if the
allies are beaten Japan must face a
fight with Russia. If Germany is
successful in driving the Cars
forces back toward Siberia and
threatens to overrun the country, tho
course of Japan is not difficult to
see. Just now she is playing the
clever game of letting the allies fight
her battles for her. With Russia at the
mercy of the Kaiser, it is easy to
foresee that Japan will regard her
possessions in the Far East as
threatened and will take that occas-
ion to throw her millions of trained
soldiery across Siberia against the
German hosts. To be sure that would
| be a last step, but it is certain to be
taken if Germany continues to press
her advantage to Petrograd and be-
yond.
In the end it may be the little yell
low men who will be called upon to
turn the tide in favor of the allies.
