TAKE A LOOK AT CANADA.

Some of the Tories who have been
scolding President Wilson for not
keeping the American dinner pail full
should be greatly enlightened by
reading little industrial history
now being made in Canada. 1t would
reveal, for instance, that the Grand
Trunk Railroad purposes to reduce
the wages of 1000 employees. 1t
might be added that the earnings OF
the Canadian Pacific have fallen off
many millions since the outbreak OF
war. Canadian cities have hosts OF
unemployed men in spite of the in
dustries that have been stimulated
by the demand for war materials.
This in Canada, the stale where
the corporations are so fairly treat
ed where railroad and trust COM
missions are not treading on the
heels of the beneficient rulers OF big
business. With all these wholesome
Canadian laws, carefully designated
to promote and encourage expansion
of trade, Canada still has depres-
sion.
Why not blame Mr.. Wilson for the
depression in Canada as we'll as that
in the United States? Since any
democratic executive must bear the
brunt of crop failures and panics
both before and after his administra-
ton, why not unload the depression
of Canada upon his shoulders as
well? Why such Difference to high
office and an overworkcd president?

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

1t is a hopeful sign that last week,
for the first time since the great Eur
opean war was precipitated on Aug
ust 1 last, bank clearings were near
ly normal. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord According to the Commercial
and Financial Chronicle four of the
seven leading cities of the country
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and
st. Louis showed gains over the
corresponding week Of 1914, while
sthree-New York, Boston and New
Orleans slight losses. On
the total clearings of the seven the
decline was only 20 per cent, while
for all the cities in the country re-
porting the loss was but 3.9 per cent.
!, The significance of these figures
can better be realized when it is re-
membered that for months past the
bank clearings have been from 1 5 to
80 per cent below those of the pre-
vious year This shrinkage revealed
in most striking form the business de-
preston caused by the war, the clos
ing of the stock exchanges, the inter-
ruption of exports and the other dis
couraging features of the past five
months. Apparently the tide has
now turned, and the new year is to
be marked by a rising flood of trade.
The signs OF this are already appar-

THE WAY TO PEACE.

In his address to the national
chamber of commerce, President Will
son said something which peace low
ers in every land would do well to
heed, and which should give pause to
the money-changers whose only OBJ
jections to war is that it hurts bust
ness.
There are great many dreadful
things about war. But there is one
thing about war which has a SPLEEN
did side, and that is the conscious
ness that whole nation gets, that
they must all act as unit, for the
nation; and when peace is as hand
some as war there will be no war.
"When men engage in the pursuits
of peace in the same spirit OF self
sacrifice and of conscious service OF
the community with which, at any
rate the common soldier engages in
war, then. shall there be wars nc
more"
There, in three sentences, is the
principle which William James elab'
Grated in his moral Equivalent o.
War; Not by mourning its cost, MOI
even by pointing to it's fiendish hor
rors, will war be abolished; but by
making peace as handsome a:
stirring, as fine a field for the gen
erous emotions as is armed strife
That is as vital to the cause of world
peace as is even the growth O.

A new variety of suppineness is
charged against the administration in
view of the soaring prices of wheat.
Domestic prices of this grain have al
ways been regulated by prices in the
worlds markets. When the European
demand has been sluggish the prices
have been low; and now that Europ-
can consumers are willing to- pay
famine prices for wheat, holders of
the commodity naturally ask. CORE
spending prices in the home market.
Because it does not hold down this
upward tendency, and because it does
nothing to prevent exports of wheat,
the administration is alleged to be
sitting supinely by The critics
ought to point out the authority by
which the administration could lay
an embargo on wheat exports and fix
a maximum price for domestic sales.

1.-THE LARGER MINORITY"

President Wilson might have gone
further than he did when he told his
audience at indianapolis that the re-
publican party is still more of a min
ority party than the democratic, and
that "as between the minOrities
think we claim to belong to the larg-
err minority"
The World has compiled the oftic-
ial vote for representatives in con-
gress in November. These returns
show that the democratic party poll
ed a larger percentage of the total
democratic republican progressive
vote than it polled in 1912, and that
the republicans and progressives COM
bined polled a smaller percentage
than in 1912.
In spite of the great republican
of the Roosevelt voters to their old
allegiance, the fact remains that the
democratic vote was relatively larg-
er than it was two years ago.
In 1912 the democrats pOlled ap-
proximately As per cent of the total
democratic republican progressive
vote. The republicans polled rs per
cent and the progressives polled 80
per cent. In 1914 the democratic
congressional candidates polled A.
4S per cent of this total vote, the re-
publicans polled 45.49 per cent, and
the progressives polled 6.92 per cent.
This shows a democratic gain of
nearly 21s per cent, a republican
gain of 21 Il per cent, and progress
sive loss of nearly % per cent. 1t
shows also a combined republican
progressive loss of 21a per cent.
The official returns from the var
ious districts indicate total demo-
cratic vote for members of congress
of 5,276,7O7, total republican vote
of 5,O66,923, and a total progressive
vote of 769,S63. In addition, 1885,
O56 votes were cast for democratic
progressive fusion candidates and
253,432 votes were cast for republic
can-progressive fusion candidates.
There is no basis on which this fusion
vote can be apportioned. But it is
plain that at best the total progress
sive vote was well below million, as
against 4,119,507 two years ago.
There were no general republican
gains in the popular vote in 1914 at
the expense of the democratic party
Inc republican gains were oil d. tAc
expense of the progressive party, and
even the return of the lost sheep left
the republicans far below the demo-
Gratis in actual numbers.
Various masters of political mys-
terry in Washington choose to inter-
pref the presidents Indianapolis
speech as an announcement of his
candidacy for denomination in 1916.
Such an announcement on Mr.. Will
sons part would be superfluous. So
far as the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party are concerned, he is
their candidate, and they have no
second choice The only man who
can prevent the denomination of
Woodrow Wilson is Woodrow Will
son.-New York World (ind.).

REED. REYNOLDS-WADE DENIOC
FACY VS.. WILSON DEMOC-
CRACY.

Let no democrat, Suner1ng under
| the humiliation and shame dished
out to him in the Leon postoffice deal
by the rotten combination at state
headquarters allow himself for one
| moment to connect such dishonesty
with the name of his great presi-
dent.
In an interview given out by Sam
uel G. Blythe in the Saturday Even
ing Post, Jan. 9th, occurs the follow
| ing expression of the presidents
views on the patronage question:
what" asked, lis the most dis
agreeable feature of the presidency"
Patronage" he replied without a
moments hesitation patronage,
and the genuine establishment and re-
sentiment of personal friends that /
cannot take care of them merely be-
cause they are personal friends Poll
tics, you know, as it is widely con-
sidered, consists in taking care of
ones personal friends. Now should
like to do all that, love to do it.; but
l can not. And am constantly per-
picked at the genuine aggrievement
of those friends because cannot and
do not.
Il would willingly take the coat
off my back and give it to friend
who needed it. My friends can have
anything ! have that is mine; but /
cannot give them what is not mine.
These offices are not mine. They be-
long to the people. They are the ma
TONS. Merely because man is
personal friend of mine, or has been
something or other that makes him
think he is, is not valid reason for
bestowing on him an office that does
not belong to me-"
Compare this statement of our
great president with the course pur-
sued by State Chairman Reynolds,
National Committeeman Wade and
others in regard to the Leon post
Office appointment These men have
not taken into consideration the fact
that the postoffice appointment as
President Wilson says, rightfully be-
longs to the people but they have
recommended the appointment, of a
candidate simply because she was
personal friend. They have deliber-
ately overridden the rights and wish
es of the people, who are entitled to
consideration in this matter. They
would do we'll to harken to the state
ment of President Wilson, for the
common people will not calmly lie
down and lick the hand which has
smitten them, and unjustly smitten
them.

MULCH TO INCREASE YIELDS
Especially Useful Method for Dry
Land Farmer-Does Away With
Cultivation and Wedding.

The latest theory for the preserva
ton of moisture for hoed crops on
dry lands is to mulch the gardens
with straw. AS compared with in.
tense cultivation this has given very
favorable results.
In the case of cabbage especially
mulching has increased the yields as
much as 5000 pounds the acre. The
higher yield was due both to an in
crease in the size of the heads and
to higher percentage of marketable
heads. For this mulch six inches of
straw is spread and it settles to about
four inches. The straw is applied
soon after the plants are set in the
field and does away with all subse.
quent cultivation and wedding.
The cost of the mulching is slightly
greater than that of cultivation, but
the work can often be done at slack
time, while the cultivation must be
given regularly at the psychological
time If the weeds are to be kept
down and the moisture conserved.
This method of handling cabbage is
especially useful for the. busy dry-land
farmer who is apt to plant his patch
of late cabbage and then in the rush
of work later on, fail to cultivate and
to weed 1t properly
