NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

Keeping Us Out Of War

To the Editor of Public Ledger:
Sir-How history repeats itself! We
read in the veracious chronicles of
Mother Goose that "The King of
France with 10000 men marched up a
hill-and then marched down again"
We marched into Vera Cruz. seek
ing salute to the flag. We did not
get it and marched out again, taking
with us nothing but our dead, the loot
of the custom house and the dishonor
of having attacked a weak nation with
which we wer eat peace
We marched our army into Mexico
tc eliminate Villa, our former pro-
tege. 1t is about to march out with
nothing to show but the usual Clutch
er's bill "a hole in the treasury and
the revelation of our unpreparedness.
We gathered together the militia of
the whole country and sent them to
Texas, at great inconvenience to them
and a vast cost to the country. They
are to return, having done nothing but
show the folly of expecting an EARNED
citizenry" to take the place of a regu-
lar army.
If the President has "kept US out of
war" he has given us very good i'm
itation of it, ard it has been as futile
as his other policies. CARL.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ?. 1910

If it had not been for the excessive
exports due to the war, and the con-
stricted imports due to the war, the
tariff question would have doomed very
large in the minds Of voters at this
time. Even as matters stand it will
loom large in the mind of every voter
who has mind enough TO realize what
is sure to happen when the European
war ends. No American solicitous for
his country's prosperity and cogniZant
of the conditions of international trade
is looking forward with equanimity to
the possibility that the return of peace
in Europe may come while the Ameri-
can tariff is in its present inefficient
state. 1t would be advantageous to
foreigners, but decidedly detrimental
to American interests, if foreign
goods could come into this country
after the war at existing rates of
duty Is the school Of harsh expert
ence the only one in which new gen
erations of Americans can learn?
Americans old enough to have seen
what happened to this country under
previous low tariffs are not eager for
a repetition. On the contrary. they are
cutie the reverse.-Milwaukee Even

MR.. WILSON FORGOT THE PUB
Lie.

If President Wilson thought to
make political hit by his hasty and
inconsiderate endorsement of the
trainmeh's demands, he reckoned
without looking far enough. He pres
sed upon the railroad officials an ac
eeptance of the threatening stricers'
demands, saying that the railroads
could recoup the loss entailed thereby
by simply raising freight and trans
portation rates. In other words Mr..
Wilson simply said, Grant the de-
mands and let the public pay. Where
upon the public began to speak out.
The subjoined letter is a sample:
To the Editor.
Sir have watched with interest
the development of the threatened
strike of the railway conductors, en-
gineers and tiremen. | feel that the
trainmen are demanding altogether
too much of the railroads and the
Lub.ic. | do not claim to have any
intimate knowledge of the question,
hut merely state my opinion as an i'm
partial observer.
1t seems to me that the trainmen
have chosen the present time to pres
ent their demands because they know
that a tie-up of railway traffic now
would be especially serious. The re-
gular army and the most of the or
gained militia are on the Mexican
border and must be kept supplied
with food. Moreover they cannot be
used very we'll for strike duty. The
coming elections compicate matters
still more. for the trainmen have
J. ,,,l,,,,,. Il,
dent by threatening to vote against
him should he attempt TO act against
their wishes. Then the moving of the
country's grain harvest must be ac-
complished There is no doubt that
manv people would starve in the large
cities if their food supply should be
cut off by strike.
The trainmen demand an eight hour
day and an increase in pay. They say
that they do not wish to work over
time. but prefer recreation and rest
with their families. wonder what
the public would think if the farmers
of the country, and other workers as
well. demanded an eight-hour day and
more money for their crops? We
have all heard of the farmer and of
his "35-cent" dollar. The average far
mer, as know by experience, begins
work about sunrise and works stead
i!y until sunset or later-12 to IA
hours of hard toll, 1t is safe to say
that the conductors, engineers and
tlremen get better pay for their work
than the farmers do for theirs. The
farmers would like little recreation
and rest also.
It seems that the railroads will be
obliged to increase freight rates in
order to make up for the loss in pay
ing their employees under the new
arrange ment. As usual. the public
must foot the bill It seems to me
unreasonable that the people of this
country should have to pay more for
their freight service because COM
parativeIv small number of railway
trainmen demand higher wages. More
over, the trainmen will not long be
content with the new arrangement.
When they have obtained this conces-
sion they will soon want something
else. G. H. /.

MAY BE AVERTED.

If the eight-hour bill is passed by
Congress. the danger of a railway
strike will in all human probability be
averted. The brotherhood heads could
not in such circumstances refuse to
rescind their order. That is the sole
comfort which the public can get out
of a situation which never should have
bee" allowed to develop to its present
point. For an eight-hour bill vii! be a
surrender to a demand the justice of
which has not been proved. Ordinary
fairness would suggest the passage Of
an accompanying bill that established
with some degree of compulsion the
principle of arbitration. The country
should have protection from industrial
hold-ups. But this consideration not
unnaturally had to be disregarded in
the last-minute rush to keep the rail

ed father or perhaps even only an

for a gentleman, who is resting his
sole claim to distinction on having
been not only the father, but the
father of the parcels post.
However, let's come to the real
point. Passing up your somewhat
elephantine attempt to be humorous
over the matter of Technology, ask
you to kindly note, that my one in
sistent invitation to both you and Mr..
Lewis is to go to the record. In your
editorial of Saturday you go to the
files of the Sun-to find a quotation
from your own columns. The repro
duction of a paragraph from the files

not be accepted by the public as a
reference to the record. The Sun

MR.. RoosEVELT'S FIRST GUN.

Mr.. Roosevelt's speech at Lewiston,
Maine, Thursday evening was a with
ering denunciation of the Mexican
policy OF the Administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's indictment of the
President on this score is scatching.
"Mr. Wilson says We nave had peace
with Mexico. He says he did not wage
war with Mexico. If he takes any
comfort out of this denial. let US not
insist upon the proper Technology,
and admit that he merely waged peace
with Mexico" In that case the peace
has been worse than war. The loss of
life and property has been greater
than any we suffered in the war with
Spain. BY Mr.. Lansing's own ac-
count in his note of June 20 to Car
rama incredible atrocities have been
committed both upon Mexicans and
upon Americans. And these are fruits
OF peace! What would the fruits of
war have been? As Mr.. Roosevelt
points out, two courses were open to
the Administration; there could have
been recognition of Huerta or there
could have been responsible interview
ton. Neither was followed. The
country was abandoned to anarchy,
the Administration favored first one
bandit then another, it finally recog-
nized Carranza for reasons not as
sufficient as those which called for the
recognition of Huerta, and in the end
our borders have to be safeguarded
by more than a hundred thousand
troops. Arguments in such case are
superfuous. The recital of the bare
facts moves US more than eloquence.
