ADAMSON BILL EXPOSED

Col. Roosevelt in his Wilkesbarre
speech, on Saturday, gave a very in
teresting account Of the part he played
when President, in the great anthra-
cite coal strike in that region four
teen years ago, and which was settled
by arbitration. principle which en-
dured until the surrender OF President
Wilson few weeks ago TO the threats
OF the railway brotherhood. Col. Roose-
welt also pointed OUT, what has now he-
come an accepted fact, the false pre-
lenses of the Adamson act, which the
administration claims establishes an
eight hour work day, and that the hu-
initiating position Of the President was
the result of his Difference TO political
eXpediency. Col Roosevelt IS corrob-
GRATED in the stand he has taken on
the Adamson measure by such an emf
nent Democrat as Senator Underwood,
Of Alabama, who during the debate in
the Senate, replying to another Sen
ator said: III the Senator will go and
consult with any Of the gentlemen
who represent the employees and who
have been contending here in this
matter, they would tell him candidly,

CAMPAIGN OF PERVERSION

Governor Hatfield in his recent
speeches has met all the misrepresen-
tations Of the Republican State admin
istration, that have been persisted IN
hy the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Last week at Monongah and
Worthington he completely exploded
the myth OF Mr.. Cornwells assertions
that there has been no reduction IN TAX
alton consequent on The lowering Or
rhe direct State tax from fourteen TO
nine cents: that the assessments would
be raised to keep the revenues up TO
the old figures under the fourteen
cent rate. OF course in making these
statements the object Of the Democrat
ic candidate for governor was TO mis-
lead the people, leaving the inference
that a greater amount OF money than
was needed for the actual expenses OF
government was being collected from
tue taxpayers.
Governor Hatfield showed by the
records that the taxes on the Increased
valuation of 1916 over 1915 amount 10
less than $4,000. while the revenues
obtained from the nine cent State tax
for State and school purposes has been
reduced nearly 100000. That is the
sort of campaign of deception the Dem
ccratiC managers are conducting. IL
is this same character OF campaign
they always have conducted for the
past sixteen years, and which at every
uuadrennium has been repudiated by
the Intelligent electorate at West Nir-
siuiu. as it will this year.
Some days ago there appeared in
the Democratic organ OF this city a
reproduction Of watch fob bearing
the Governors picture and announcing
his candidacy for the United States
Senate Governor Hatfield AYERS that
he knows nothing of these fobs, ard
that the only one he has seen was
handed him in Charleston BY the
brother OF the Democratic Senator,
who is seeking reelection. This is
another evidence OF the desperate
lengths the Democratic leaders Of Ibis
State are going TO in their conspiracy
of deception and fraudulent tactics. 1t
should not be a difficult guess as to
who is back of this shameless effort
20 malign L personality that the real
Il Is inconceiyable that such methods
should be successful in diverting the
mind Of tue voter or perverting the
real questions before the people.

The truly Christian populations OF
every country have been SCandallZed
by the obligation imposed on French
priests by the French Legislation to
participate in the war aS fighters.
This sentiment has been SO eXag-
gerated by some among those, who
only view the war at a distance, that
they have asked themselves the QueS-
ton whether d sod priest did not have
the right TO resist such obligation, no
matter what would be the consequ-
ences of such resistance. Others,
more numerous. at least consider as
irregular those priests who fight and
draw blood.
There are to-day three cateGorieS
Of priests modified in this war and
serving in the French army.
There are chapains, numbering
several hundreds who perform in the
army a priests duties. There are
priests non-combatant, modified for
the services of the Administration or
Of health according TO the law OF 1889
and these form By great deal the
largest proportion Of the $4,000 priests
modified at present.
And there are the priests actually
fighting, that is TO say the Youngest.
called into service during the last leil
years and who have for one reason or
another not been placed in the social
ed auxiliary service.
For this last category what then is
their situation from an ecclesiaSuca
standpoint?
| use the word combant, that is to
say bear arms and make use Of them,
for to take part in the war is another
way has never been forbidden TO
priests.
4 priest may take part in the war
in order 10 exercise his sacred mis-
sion: he may take part in it in the OK
crciSe or charity 10 the wounded, to
the sick; he may heal bodies as we'll
as souls; he may even, in the degree
TO which he may be called TO exercise
civil and political functions, parttci-
pate in organizing and preparing war.
II it were in itself an evil. fault. d
crime TO fight, certainly the priest
should suffer everything rather than
submit 10 such an obligation.
But wal is not in itself an evil; 20
fight is not wrong in itself and may
even become meriLOrious.
And so if Christianity is scandal
lied to see priest take up arms, It
is because this act, coed in itself for
others is not fitting for q priest.
There is a divergence between the
character OF the priest, the particu-
larry charitable mission that is his and
the actual violence Of warfare, the
shedding Of the blood Of his brothers.
Because, even il enemies, men are still
brothers. 1t is Il question merely Of
what is fitting. The priest who fights
does not commit an immoral act but
an act that jars with his functions
The Christians instinct is correct.

The pretensions Of that measure

MUST HAVE PROTECTION

In discussing the tariff question the
Birmingham, Alabama, Ledger adntt's
that the protective tariff IS the Amer
lean policy. but these views are not
in accord with the eminent Senator
from Alabama. the author OF the III
derwood bill, which is over 20 per cent
free trade. The manufacturers Record.
OF Baltimore, which represents a iar@"
and growing sentiment fer protectlHl
in the South, and which has tccn to-
ing great work in combating The free
trade hierarchy in the Democratic par
ty, welcomes the Ledger as partial
convert, and hopes that it soon Will be
altogether persuaded that Ii protective
tariff is essential 70 the prosperity ot
the country. The Record admoniShes
it's Southern contemporary. that with
out protection the rich resources Of
the South cannot be developed as the:
should be, now or in the future. Bat
what hope is there OF the South COM
ing 20 any effective conclusion on thls
subject so long as it elects men like
Senator Underwood. who, as the Rec
ord cites, is not only hostile 70 d pro-
tective tariff, but who, furthermore,
even opposes the raising OF necessary
revenues through tariff, and who en-
plicitely declares that his object in
the planning OF the Underwood-S Sim
mons tariff bill was to deliberately
produce deficit, through reduced
collections at the cuStom-house, in or
der that system Of direct taxation
might be the more certainly imposed?
There is nothing so strong in the
country today as the conviction tnae
our only salvation, after this war
made prosperity shall eyaporate With
peace, is the re-establishment Of the
Republican principle OF tariff protec-
ton. This is so well settled that the
Democratic administration as a sop to
this sentiment created tariff commits
sion and put a tariff on dyestuffs. But
a tariff commission means nothing for
protection under Democratic control,
and the dyestuff provision is merely a
makeshift, a law which terminates
five years after peace, or whenever the
manufacture Of dyes is established.
The country wants straight protection,
not prediction saggers at it for ex-
pediency's sake. The reduced tariff
rate was retained on sugar, not be-
cause it would promote the American
sugar industry, but because the rev
enue was needed to bolster up a sick
treasury, depleted of funds through the
operation Of the Underwood bill. The
reduction OF the tariff on sugar aud
the provision for free trade In sugar
at a stated time practically wrecked
thar industry. Whatever part OF il
has been revived has been through he

war ceases the industry will again

1t ic not progress for humanity to
call all mankind to arms. 1t would be
much better it we're still as formerly
in Christian society OF the Ancient
Regime, that services were special
lied, that an army mad up of a suffl-
cient number of soldiers by profession
would assure the country's defense
and the respect Of its rights, as
that a body OF magistrates should dis
pense justice, a body OF professors
should teach. the clergy should give
the necessary SucCor TO souls. Unfor-
tunately for Europe and the world the
twentieth century war has pitted en-.
tire nations against each other and
has put the very existence OF some OF
them in danger. Military service has
ceased 10 be the calling Of few. It
is now the task Of everyone. Follow
ing Prussias lead nearly all nations
have, like her, ended by adopting
obligatory military service for all.
Does moi this change the problem
somewhat even for those of the
church? In Il world where faith has
diminished, where the sense of the
supernatural has ceased to exist for
many, where the desire for equality
has spread being at the same time
the cause and The consequence Of the
democratic rule Of nations, the prob
lem is new one. Would it not tend
to make the priest odious to continue
the ecclesiastical privilege?
Would not people point at him in
the streets and even in the smallest
village, where all those capable are
under arms. where the women are
without their husbands, their children,
and know that every day their lives
are in danger? On the contrary, when
he runs the same risk as the others
the bonds uniting him to the people
become stronger and if, as in this
war, he gives an example Of endur-
Iance Of courage, becomes an object Of
admiration. and OF sympathy. Will not
the French priests, after the war,
walk with heads more erect?
These reasons seem sufficient TO me
10 excuse the civil law compelling the
priest 10 RESPOND to the exigencies OF
the military law and in this respect no
distinction between him and the other
Icitizens
Though it does not excuse the au-
thority that orders the priest to fight
when there are in the army so many
useful occupants that do not shock
the religious character and which, are
by no means devoid OF danger. Our
priests serving as Stretcner-bearers
know something Of this. This IS what
tho French legislation of 1889 under
stood. 1t is what the law OF 1905 did
not understand.
Let them all Christians spare our
brave priest-soldiers from being mis-
understood and blamed by their Eel
lows. May their generosity give fear
lessly a just tribute Of admiration 20
the heroic actions that have brought
so many lost ones back TO the church.
