WHAT OTHERS SAY

The next war will be CONNER
cial. Even the nations at war are
making plans for a fight for trade.
The struggle of business in Eu-
rope is to be aided by the govern
ments. Our government not only
refuses to Protect the American
workman by imposing a just duty
against the goods produced by
cheap labor abroad, but it pro-
ceeds to meddle within our bor-
ders in manner to increase the
cost of goods. All men under
stand that the prosperity now en-
joyed is due to the fact that by
cutting off European competition
the war is giving us the highest
possible Protection, a Protection
which in the language of Tariff
makers is prohibitive. The first
result of peace will be to sweep
away this Protective barrier and
set free a stream Of cheaply made
manufactured products to come
into direct competition in our
own home market with American
manufactures Watertown IN.

THE Winton Socialistic walkout
at Section 80 is a thing of the
past. Pancener, Jacobson and
CREME have talked their heads
off, in the attempt to corner the
elusive initiation fee of the miner

without avail and only few of the
local red faggers stayed put. At
Section 80, the larger part of the
men left at the first sign of disturb
ance and those who did not leave
are back at work. The daily
parade which started with about
$50 men, women and children, had
dwindled down to II yesterday

Because Julius Schmahl has

it is found necessary to pry him
loose in the estimation of several
people and especially in the es-

The possibility Of transferring infec-
