AN OMEN OF 1916

The election returns from the
various cities of the country in
dictate even more clearly than the
election last fall that the tide is
toward Republicanism. The peo-
pie no longer accept Democratic
promises at par. The Democratic
party has established a reputation
for being long on theory but short
on practice. There were cities
in which local issues were stress
ed, but the voters refused to in
dorse anything bearing the Dem
ocratic label. This country for a
century has been governed by
parties, and the voters continue
10 hold parties responsible for
conditions. The Democratic
party, if it is good at deciphering
mural hieroglyphics, might as
we'll prepare for retirement March
a, 1917. But it should not be en-
tirely cast down. Its ticket was
not elected by majority in the
first place, Its candidates slipped
into power because the enemies OF
its theories of running the gov
eminent were in a fight among
themselves, a fight that became
so bitter that each side became
reckless of consequences.-Leav-
enworth Times.

We don't know who the Re-
publican candidate will be, but
he will have to stand four-square
on protective tariff platform.
We don't know who the Dem
ocratic candidate will be, but he
will have to stand on practically
free trade platform. In other
words, the paramount issue OF
the country will be protection VS..
free trade.-Marion (Ia.) Regis

ARE TRYING TO BELITTLE
THE ISSUE

The theory that the restoration
of protection would bring about
return of prosperity, declares the
Chicago News, is absurd" Quite
as absurd as it was twenty years
ago-yet history records that
without any change in the laws OF
the land but the re-establishment
of perfection prosperity did re-
turn, following just such period
as that through which we were
passing under the normal opera
ton of the Underwood law early
last summer At that time the
Chicago News was being bought
by thousands of unemployed men
in Chicago for the purpose OF
consulting the rather barren
"help wanted" columns. Possibly
the increase in circulation which
comes to the News through its
purchase daily by thousands of
idle and despairing men in the
hope OF securing employment
phenomenon which was in evil
dence months before the Euro
pean war broke out-may be
joined to cheaper white paper as
a reason for its reconciliation to
existing industrial conditions.
This supercilious attitude OF
the so-called independent" news
papers which, as matter of fact,
were hidebound partizans of tariff
reform" toward the place which
the renewed popularity of the
protective tariff is playing in the
rehabilitation of Republicanism,
is merely another representation
of the ancient ostrich act. No
one actually in touch with public
opinion has any doubt that the de-
mand for a return to the protec-
tive policy constitutes now, as it
did twenty years ago, the one Vi
tai economic issue in national
politics. This issue was made
paramount in the campaign OF
1914, and the results speak for
themselves. People whose intel
ligence is not insulted by facts
realize that the war in Europe has
up to this time relieved, rather
than increased, the depression
which the Underwood law had
brought upon the country during
the fiscal year 19l3-1914.
Conditions which lie within the
personal knowledge and expert
ence of the man in the street can
not be sneered down on the as
sumption, as the Chicago News
puts it. that "voters are gullible
and will believe anything they
hear" even though their own
memories, their own bank &C
counts their own order books,
their own stomachs, their own
eyes and ears tell an entirely diff
ferent story. The overshadowing
issue of the campaign of 1916 will
be the restoration of protection
and prosperity, and if the Chicago
News and other special interests
enjoying exclusive benefits from
free trade in printed paper, en-
ployment want ads. and other
similar sources will keep their
eyes open they will witness the
biggest Republican victory on
that issue within the experience
of the present generation.-Mun-
Gle lind National Republican.

fatally injured in terrific explosion
OF four tons of black powder at the
upper Hagley yard Of the Dupont
Powder company 1t was the worst
accident that has occurred in any of
the company's plants in quarter OF
a century.
The cause of the blast is not
known. According to statement is
sued by the company, the origin
probably will always remain mys-
terry"
Nevertheless a most severe investi-
CATION has been instituted by the Of
ficials of the company. and every en-
ploye who was near the building that
was blown to pieces was put through
a thorough examination that some
clew as to the cause might be learned.
There was the usual rumor afloat
that some outside agency may have
caused the explosion, but Dupont Of
ficials said there was not a shred OF
evidence upon which 10 hang any
theory.
Workmen who survived the tre-
mendous blast said the scene was one
of horror From every tree left
standing in the neighborhood there
was hanging either pieces OF flesh or
parts of clothing worn by the unfor-
tunate men.

barked in the manufacture of fire
trucks. The vehicle is sold for
$500. The demonstrators said that
it was not brought here with the
idea of talking sale to the city at

Madisonites with its general attri-
butes City officials, firemen and
civilians were invited for rides in the
machine.

BRISK TRADE PROMISED
STORES ASSUME HOLIDAY As.
PECT--BIG LINES OF TOYS
ARE DISPLAYED.

Early holiday season buying. look
ed upon as reliable barometer of
industrial and financial conditions,
indicates that few other sections of
the country are enjoying a greater
prosperity than is the territory of
which Madison is the commercial
hub.
Largely owing to the fact that
westerners do not habitually enter
upon their pre-Christmas shopping
expeditions quite as early as is done
in the east, it is anticipated that 1t
will be a couple of weeks or so before
holiday trading here has reached its
crest. Merchants generally declare.
however, that the last few days de-
mand for seasonable goods has lent
assurance that business from now un-
til the first of the year will be brisk
er than ordinary, even If not the best
in the city's existence.
Wide Ranges to Choose From.
To the close touch in which the
average dealer has kept with condi-
tions and the requirements of the
buying public. is due the fact that
Madison mercantile establishments
were never better equipped to supply
their customers needs. Practically
all of the stores are taking on holi-
day aspect For days, in some in
stances for weeks, the storekeepers
have unpacked boxes and crates, pre-
paratory to placing their contents in
holiday array in the various shops.
In nearly all the establishments
wares for which there Is no demand
at this time of year have given place
to bright new stocks, such as are ex-
pected to strike the fancy of those
making preparations for the glad"
season.
Prominent among all the array of
tempting articles are the toys. The
much mooted dearth of playthings
that was to have resulted from the
embargo put on German made wares
by the allies did not materialize.
For the Little Folks.
A glance into the stores in which
toys have already been put on sale lis
all that is necessary to convince the
most pessimistic that just about all
the trinkets which go to gladden. the

Yuletide are on hand as usual.
Merchants say that the most no.
ticeable effect the British blockade
has had on toys is to bring into the
market more American and japanese
made goods. And it is said that
many of the playthings made by the
Japanese are of more lasting quality
lnan are those that come from Ger
many. But there are also German
made goods in abundance. 1t Is
pointed out that they were bought
and paid for before the blockade was
inaugurated, and for that reason
| were permitted by the allies to cross
the ocean.
