REPUBLICANS OF
 KEYSTONE STATE TO HELP WILSON

N Scranton, Pa., Oct. 31-An instance of how the tide is turning to Presi- dent Wilson in Pennsylvania is fur nished by the announcement just made by two prominent Republicans nere of their endosement of President Will sons policies. The new supporters of the President are Adolph Marcus, a leading wholesale merchant and John M Harris, a we'll known member of the bar who, has frequently been a campaign speaker for the Republi- cans.
 Wilson has been a wonderful Pres ident and I shall vote for him." says MT. Marcus. "He has been the man needed in such critical time. As a business man I know that this tar if talk is all nonsense It is silly to talk about a high tariff when there will be no need of a tariff again for forty years Our country is growing so fast in population that we can now use everything we make here. Eu- rope will need everything it can make, too, so why talk about 8 condition that cannot exist? %
 "Woodrow Wilson towers above them all," says MT. Harris. "He is the big American. There is no man who knows America as he knows 1t and there is no set of men living that can control him.

The 10th anniversary of the institu- ton of Samuel H. Harris lodge, No. s9. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which fell on Oct 27th, was officially celebrated by the members of the lodge in Odd Fellows hall Broad street, last night. One of the largest at- tendances in the history of the lodge was in evidence when the regular bus ines session began. As this drew to a close a roll call was conducted and men from all walks of life, from the newest member to those of 30 and 40 years standing in the lodge, stood up and answered to their names
 A feature of the roll call was the fact that one of the original five men who brought Samuel H. Harris lodge into being in East Bridgeport nearly half century ago, was present in the person of George H. Zink, and several initiate charter members also respond ed to the roll call. Letters and cards were read from members in California Wyoming and a number of Eastern states and visitors were present from setts and Pennsylvania.

COMMISSIONERS WILL PASS ON HUGHES CASE
 TOMORROW EVENING

At the regular meeting of the fire Commissioners tomorrow evening in the Court Exchange building. charges against Hoseman Aaron NJ. Hughes for intoxication while on duty will be heard. Hoseman Hughes is attached to Engine company No. 10, Putnam street. About two weeks ago he re- ported after supper with signs of hav- ing too much to drink. Capt. Patrick Hamill called Chief Engineer Daniel E. Johnson and the department sur geon, Dr. William H. Curley. They both pronounced Hughes unfit for duty and he was suspended pending the hearing before the commissioners. !
 The charges were to have been heard at a special meeting last Wednesday | but because Hoseman Hughes had not received the six days notice of the hearing which he is entitled to under the law, 1t was postponed until to- morrow night. There are e large of routine bills to be approved by the commissioners.

These people were crying: "Econo- mize and save," but it was not easy to follow that advice. She declared that the tendency to luxurious life was one of the marked traits of mod ern Japan and feared that it was spreading throughout all classes, each
 person catching the infection from his fellows. She added:
 "But among the people for whom I speak luxury is out of the question; we never think of it these days and l do not think we can make our life more simple than it is. We are fight ing with difficulty to buy the essen tials of life. If simpler life than this is wanted, we must seek it in the grave"
 She goes on to seize an illustration from her own existence. "As I am writing tonight" she said, my hus- band and one of our children as well as myself are troubled with a cold and some fever. I know very well that the doctors powder and water are quite. powerless to subdue the fever, and I should like to use for us all the aspirin which we bought before the war at 30 sen (15 cents) per ounce; but it now costs yen 70 sen ($1.85) per ounce-the price for my elder boys boots. And so for my boys boots-they have risen 50 per cent.
 "Our simple life is gradually be- coming more and more simple till at length we are almost at the extreme end of it-the actual want of nour-, ishment. Gan you find for us, women of the third class homes, a simpler life than this?"
 Mrs. Yosano has sought the causes of this condition and she believes she has located one of them in the retail system of sale of necessities in vogue in Japan. The retailers who supplied the necessaries of life, namely, rice dealers, grocers, fish mongers, meat sellers, druggists, greengrocers, drap- CTS, confectioners, stationers and oth- CTS did not sell the consumer the goods straight from places of pro- duction or manufacture. On the con- trary most of them represented the penultimate stage of the long, devious transition process their wares under go between the place of production and the homes. At each of these stages tax was imposed on the goods so that when they arrived at the door of the poor their prices had risen to double or even treble that for which the producer had sold them.
 The fault of the system lay to her mind in the extraordinary high num- Der of retail shops. Japanese com merce of to-day, she held, did not rest on civilized and economic principles. Thousands of people who ought to be employees in larger shops were carry ing on a small retail business indes pendently and many of them were making a profit of 50 per cent. on their capital. What she wanted was a law prohibiting a profit of more than 10 per cent. She went on: 'But even this would not improve matters, If the numerous retailers of various grades be allowed to stand between producers and consumers. The better plan would be the establishment of what we call great central retail houses In al lsrge cities to supply us
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-31

with all our necessaries direct from the places of production. The pro- motion of such a scheme would in deed be worthy of the whole-hearted support of our high and middle class ladies' For, unlike such movements as the Society for Improvement of Manners and other participating organizations in which our upper class badies have been so indefatig- ably interested, it is a really sacred enterprise which has direct connec- ton with the happiness of numerous human beings
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-31

encouragement and cooperation with all business interests, and protection of enterprises that are built on sound foundations.
 'No unparalleled elector can dis put the fact that more constructive and needed legislation has been pass ed during the past four years than for many years before that time. For the future we see President Wilson sur- rounded with a united and responsive party, while MT. Hughes will be sur rounded with discordant elements which do not encourage the belief that constructive legislation will be pos sible under his leadership.
 President Wilson has stood for the best interest of the whole people and for sound business principles, but the voters have absolutely no knowledge of the policies of MT. Hughes, but they do know that he is surrounded and his election is advocated by some of the most pernicious and selfish inter- ests of the country.
 President Wilson. has during the past three years. been confronted with perplexing and unprecented questions of national and international import ance and while in the retrospect, we may criticize, 1t is very doubtful whether any President would have made fewer mistakes.
 The Republican party has in the past stood for progress but under the of MT. Hughes, it has talk en the position of tearing down, with out providing for future construction. If we take the measurement of the two men as given by themselves in the Independent. the choice would in evitably fall upon MT. Wilson. In this time Of worldwide policies, it is not best z -afe to change generals.

THIRD CLASS. IN JAPAN SUFFERING. FROM GREAT WAR
Rich Jap> Reaps Harvests From Conflict While the
 Poor Greatly Suffer

i Tokio, Oct 31.-War is having a disastrous effect upon the third class home" of Japan. according to Mrs. Akiko Yosano. whose success as a poet and a reformer has led some to call her a poetic Mrs. Pankhurst
 Writing in one of the national mag azines of Japan, Mrs. Yosano says:
 "To those who are eating the bread of idlenessA relying upon the interest of their money, the advance of prices is a blessing for they are realizing enormousi profits through the same cause. No wonder that they are hop ing for the continuation of the war as long as possible. These upper and middle class people do not care fig if millions of Europeans should per- ish and billions of the third class peo- pie all the world over should starve in body and spirit, so long as they can wax rich and thereby increase the wealth of the country as they say. This is their true state of mind. This is the kind of international and commercial morality actually enter tained to-day by those upper, and mid- dle class nationals of this benevolent and> chivalrous country, who are sup posed to be the guardian deities of the principles of Bushido."
 "In short" wrote Mrs. Yosano, "those on whom the heaviest burden falls as result of the advanced prices are our third class people who are earning their bread with their brains or with the sweat or their brows These are the people who scorn the contemptible psychology of thieves, usurers, spectators and those who expect windfalls, and strive with their own hands or brains to ensure their own living and advancement. We never hope for luxury. What we want is only the means sufficient to enable us to live and progress to educate our children and to buy medicine in case of illness. But even in ordinary peace time we find it difficult to get these and now in this war time we find our labor can scarcely keep pace with the rapid advance of prices. There is limit to our capac- ity for work; and though our pay has risen by ten or twenty per cent, it is far from meeting the emergency of those other prices which have risen by 50 and 100 per cent"
 The writer remarked that many good and respectable persons had been kind enough to recommend what they called the simple life" as q for tho existing situeticu.

FORMER ELM CITY JUDGE TO ASSIST
 THE PRESIDENT
Hughes Lack of Confidence Makes Mathewson Turn
 Against Party

Judge Albert McL Mathewson. of kNew Haven, one of the foremost Re- publicans in the state, a former judge of the New Haven city court, and &C., tive in that city, particularly in char ter revision, and widely known in the state as an exponent of good govern ment, has come out for President Will son.
 Judge Mathewson is a leader fin the state in the juvenile court idea and has been foremost in reforms dealing with the "boy" problem.
 He says he will vote for President Wilson, chiefly because the president has secured the passage of more con- structive legislation for the past four years than for many years before that time. On the other hand the Re- publican party, though it has stood for progress, has under the leadership of Justice Hughes taken the position of tearing down, without providing for future construction.
 Follows Judge Mathewson's en- dorsement of'Wilson:
 'In less than two weeks the elec- tors of this country must decide which man is the best leader to direct the destinies of this country for the four years, frsm March 4, 1917, and which party will probably do the best work for the good of the country.
 My personal preference and desire was to return to the party of my alle- glance for over thirty years and when Hon. Charles p. Hughes was suggest ed for president, I had no doubt about my future plans, but the doubts have been coming continuously since his nomination. All of his speeches have been a series of fault-finding with the policies of the past, rather than broad-minded constructive plans for the future.
 we must accept men on their own estimate of themselves and certainly if Justice Hughes has no greater con- fidence in his own abilities to govern this country, than he has expressed in his speeches during the past four he would not have the con- structive ability or the courage dur ing his occupancy of the presidency. to stand for the people against the power of the entrenched interests.
 "In the New York Independent1 both men have presented their views of the vital issues of this campaign and while MT. Hughes criticizes and scolds the present administration, MT. Wilson, in the Independent of October 2srd. looks to the future and promises

SAvE-THE-BABY
 CAMPAIGN ENDS
 THIS AFTERNOON

With the receipt of final reports from workers this afternoon, Bridge ports first "Save-the-Baby" cam paign will be concluded today. The campaign, probably the most unique in charitable circles hereabouts, has been a big success and the general committee in charge is highly elated with results attained.
 It is expected that the reports this afternoon will show the total contribu- tions near the $1O,006 mark. This will not represent the full extent. of the fund, however. for several work CTS have asked that they be allowed some days in which to turn in con- tributions that are not available just now. These later contributions it is believed, will send the total above the $10,O00 mark.
 Children of the Sunday schools and public schools of the city yester- day turned in nearly $1,0OO as their share of the campaign. Most of the contributions was in pennies, nick els and dimes and made a most sizea- ble pile.
 The charities that will benefit by the campaign are the Day Nursery, Visiting Nurse Association, Orthopedic Clinic and Girls Club. The work of all these institutions may be ex- tended within the year as a result of the generous response to the cam paign.
 Mrs. D. H. Warner, general chair man of the campaign committee. to- day expressed herself as much pleas ed with the campaign. ''The peo- pie of Bridgeport have responded splendidly in this cause, and we are greatly indebted to them and to the volunteer workers in the campaign.' said Mrs Warner
