THE CAMPAIGN OF 1916.

Republicans throughout the nation
are looking forward with confidence to
regaining control Of the government in
1916, and 1t cannot be denied that they
have a substantial basis for their con-
there has been a depression that has
In some cases amounted to stagnation
during the two years since the demo-
Gratis came into power and this condi-
ton has been due solely to democratic
Legislation, to democratic threats of
radical legislation, or to a general lack
of confidence in the ability of the DEM
Iocratic party to legislate for the benefit
of the people. The tariff law is SO
plainly a failure that the democratic
congress was forced to levy a so-called
war tax to meet the deficiency in rev.
enue from imports, and even this COM

continues to grow The currency law
is still an experiment, and whatever
benefits are to be derived from ii are
yet to be realized These We're the
two great measures, tariff revision ana
an elastic currency law, that were TO
pave the way to permanent prosperity.
Up to date they have absolutely failed
to accomplish that purpose.
In the meantime the European war
has made an unprecedented demand
for our lead, spelter, copper, horses,
mules, wheat, and the countless num-
Der of manufactured articles that are
necessary for the equipment of vast
armies in the field, The result has
been to give a tremendous impetus to
business in this country which has for
the time counteracted the depression
due to democratic rule. And II is this
prosperity. which comes from an UNI /
expected source and which is in no |
sense due to democratic policies, which /
is the only basis upon which the DEM
ocratlc party can hope to secure vote
of confidence from the people. 1t is
true that President Wilson, in his deal
ings with Germany and the attitude
he has maintained toward the nations
involved in the war, has the united
support Of the people, but It is also
true that no other president WOULD ,
have done less, and from that stand

It Is not at all likely that the presi-
dents second note to Germany will
result in changing that eountrys atti-
tude in the slightest degree. The most
conspicuous successes that have been
achieved by the German forces on land
and sea have been secured through
the violation of international law and
the total disregard of the rights of
neutrals. To yield to the demands of
President Wilson means that Germany
would confine her methods of warfare
to those recognized and adopted by the
civilized nations of the world. This is
too much to expect of country THAI

ExtraditiOn Was a Life
Saver for Porter Charlton

The Latin temperament is no hard
and fast thing like that of the Teuton
and the Anglo Saxon and, while a law is
law, it is not made of unbreakable
material; extenuating circumstances are
taken into account, the justice or injus-
tice of conditions preceding the COM
initial of the act, and the subtle, blight
ing influences which operated to prac-
tically force it.
The Anglo Saxon would consider this
a dangerous idea and would hesitate to
take upon himself the grave response
bility of creating such precedent.
Murder is murder in the foundation OF
his mind and unless the murderer can be
adiudged insane, he takes his punish
ment.
Porter Charlton was fortunate to have
been taken back to Italy and tried by
an Italian court. The circumstances
which brought abou. his uncomfortable
state of mind would not have been suffi-
GENTLY extenuatng here and still less so
in England. Young, INDUCED and played
upon by a woman twice his age; living
life of luxury without serious purpose
or anchor in the way of home, children
or business, this ill-assorted couple tried
the experiment of living together on an
exotic passion, fed by the stimulation OF
the things which money can buy, instead
of love, and disaster followed.
Whether the Italian court melted out
q juster sentence than if pronounce
elsewhere, we cannot say, but a youth OF
20 is no match for woman Of 40 when
that woman is of the type known as ad-
venturess.
Then does Kiplings little refrain find
an echo in our consciousness-"the
female of the species is more deadly than
the male"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-If the
government Of the United States
had manufactured its own smoke
less powder during the eight years
between 1905 ana 1913 the savings
would have built a ten-nillion- dollar
dreadnought.
This statement is not an exagger-
alton. II is proved by the unassail
ed records of the navy and war de-
partments set out in the Congress
sional Record and their accuracy
never challenged.
During these eight years the gov
eminent paid for smokeless powder
s21 .99s.25O.77. The department paid
for this at the rate OF so cents a
pound for 3.2e7.7l2 pounds of 30
caliber powder, and at the rate OF
SIS cents a pound for 29,565.5l2
pounds Of army and navy smokeless
powder They bought OF the pow
der trust-that Is the DUPONT Pow
der Co.
The government Is now making
smokeless powder at a cost OF SO
cents a pound. This 36 cents COW
ers overhead charges and every pos
sible cost, so the government could
have manufactured the same pow
der itself at a cost OF sll,s30, 754.6i.
making a saving of $10,i67, 496.13.
There Is no competition in the
bidding on smokeless powder. Nor
does the government at present
make enough powder to force any
material reduction in the price de
manded by the Dupont powder

The Adenoid Menace
~ n. AoDsNoToN BRUCE,
Author OF THE Riddle of Personality"
Psychology and Parenthood," etc.

Is your child mouth breather? Does he take
cold easily, and Is he often troubled with sore
throat? Does he complain from time to time Of
earache?
II he manifests these symptoms, don't try to
overcome them by home remedies. or regard
them Of no importance. Take him without
delay to a good physician.
| The likeliho0d-one may almost say the Ger
tainty--is that he lie suffering from adenoids the
removal Of which by slight surgical operation
will mean much to his mental as well as his
physical health.
Even in large cities where today systematic
medical examinations Of school children are
made there are many children whose parents in
adequately appreciate the importance OF prompt
and radical treatment for adenoids. Every par
ent ought to know why and how adenoids men,
ace the health Of the young. Here. briefly, are
the facts:
Adenoids are little cauiiflowershaped growths
that develop in that part of the mouth where
the nose and throat join. They stop up the
nose and compel the child afflicted with them
TO breathe through his mouth
Mouth-breathng Is harmful for several reasons.
It prevents proper development of the nose. lips
and jaws. thus marring the appearance OF the
face. II gives disease germs a better chance
to get into the body. And 1t interferes with the
oxygenation of the blood
This last effect is Of special importance. A
blood supply deficient in oxygen means a general
malnutrition which weakens the brain In com
mon with other physical organs.
Consequently a child that has adenoids Is like
ly to be more or less dull child. He finds 1t
hard to study, and drowses his books sim
ply because his poorly nourished brain tires
quickly
Take out the adenoids give him a chance to
breathe properly, and he will astonish you by the
Improvement in his mental and physical health.
This has been demonstrated in countless cases.
Adnoids, again. endanger health through caus-
ing trouble that may result In deafness Also
they serve as breeding grounds for all sorts of
disease germs. which. being taken up BY the
blood, get into the system and poison IL.
In this way. II has been found the germs that
cause rheumatism often gain Judgment in the
| joints. And not a few OF germ-caused
heart disease have similarly been traced to ade-
noids.
Dyspepsia IL another frequent resultant OF
adenods, owing to the child swallowing, with
its food and drink, germs that have multiplied
lin adenoid tissue.
Altogether child that has adenoids il ex-
lposed to great danger Their removal cannot
be effected too sooE for his present and future
good.
