born, baptised and nurtured in
the supreme national struggle
to maintain the national herit-
age and fulfill the promise of
equal opportunity to every citi-
zen. Is not it's rank and file
best calculated to support a
leadership that will create ma
tional mind and conscience, and
having preserved the integrity
of the nation against the heresy
of secession, will it not develop
and maintain a progressive ma
tional program of social and
economic organization?
Il hope so, think so, and
this is one of the reasons why
| am for Charles E. Hughes. We
need industrial preparedness
with a program of standardiza-
ton in our economic life. For
the workers, we need living
wages, fair hours of labor, work
shop sanitation and fire protec-
ton with accident, sickness, old
age and unemployment insur-
ance. Trade agreements and ar
bitration should take the place
of individual exploitation and
Industrial civil war. For capital,
we need the intelligent cooper
alton of government both at
home and abroad. When this
war is over we will face the
most intense industrial compe-
tition that the world of COM
merce has ever known. A COM
prehensive protection of the
home market and support for
American foreign trade is in
dispensable if we are to pre-
serve industrial prosperity. For
both capital and labor we should
develop a progressive policy in
taxation that will Lift the fiscal
burdens Of government from Ia
Dor and enterprise and place
them upon monopoly and privi-
lege. These things and these
conditions believe will be sped
on their way by the election of
Charles E. Hughes.

KEEP IODINE IN THE HOUSE


Every family should keep a
bottle of tincture of oidine in
it's medicine closet. Then if any
member gets a cut Or scratch,
a prompt painting of the place
with iodine will prevent infec-
ton and further trouble. Iodine
is the best disinfectant for such
purposes.
Dispatches have told of the
serious time the former pugilist,
Jeffries, has had from a cut
hand. The cut was so slight that
he paid no attention to it, but
the place became infected and
complications set in. Almost ev-
erybody knows of similar in
stances. A person may scratch
Ia hand a dozen times with no
i'll effects, and the next time
with no apparent reason he may
get badly swollen arm.
The safe thing to do whenever
the skin is broken it to wash
the place with water and then
paint it with iodine. If the
wound is small it needs no 9TH
er attention. If it is severe
cut the place should be protect
ed by a sterile dressing little
cotton from the drug store, or
a rag which has been sterilized
by boiling water. This treatment
is some bother, but it is worth

Can these imperative ma
tional needs be worked out by a
states rights democratic party
that plans a state dominated
militia with its menace of shift
less incompetence, spoils politics
and organized snobbery in a ma
tional defense force, at a time
of. world peril? More and more
it becomes plain that most of
our problems of large import
are national in scope and will
yield only to national action. Yet
we find the democratic party
the modern, and let us hope the
last, stronghold of the advo-
Gates of local sovereignty. This
doctrine of individuaism, sec
tionalism and disunion menaced
and almost prevented the free
ing of the colonies from foreign
domination. This doctrine well
nigh defeated the adoption of a
unifying constitution wherein
the American nation became a
fact.
whenever the fight for more
efficient and more humane gov
eminent has been waged, this
baneful doctrine of states rights
has been invoked to rally and
shelter the anti-social forces, to-
arouse sectional bias, local jeaL-
ousy and all the mean, narrow
passions that hold mems eyes
upon the ground, when great
human needs call upon them to
look beyond the rough and
dusty road to the far country
that is worth the toll and sac
rifice of the long, hard journey.
L believe in the character and
courage of the nominee of the
republican party. He is the most
conspicuous example in our his
tory of the possibilities that
American politics may hold for
success in able and unselfsh
public service. For myself, I
gladly enlist with the great ma
jority of the progressives of the
nation under the leadership of

Submarine Activity May Develop
Some New Questions of Neutrality

Washington, Oct. 9.-Possibilit:es
of diplomatic complications over the
German submarine raid along the
New England coast seemed today to
point toward the allies as well as
Germany 60, .-
State and navy officials, scanning
the reports of the destruction of
ships within sight Of American
shores, found no reason today to
change their first impression that the
submarine operations had been con-
Quoted so far within the limitations
of international law, but they were
fully alive to the dangerous posi-
bilities. Destruction OF an American
ship carrying contraband might cas-
lily cause another Frye case and any
loss OF life at all in any case might
easily reopen the whole submarine
question.
The threatened complication with
the allies lies in their contention that
submarines, because of their nature
should be excluded from all neutral
ports. Today's London dispatches

dian to the effect that such view
was set out in the recent memoran-
dun sent by the allies TO neutral gov

SUBMARINE MAKES
VICTIMS WAIT TURN
Ships Comes Within Range of
Raider So Passengers Can
not Be Readily Disposed Of.
RADIO OPERATORS STORY

New York, Oct. 9.-The story OF
how ships came within range of a
U boat raider so fast on Sunday off
Nantucket that it had to keep one
waiting until it disposed of another,
was told,today by Arthur Gray, wire
less operator on the Norwegian
steamer Christian Knudsen. The
Knudsen was sunk about 9 o'clock
yesterday morning and the crew
rowed about in small boats for ten
hours before being picked up by a
boat from the Nantucket Shoals
lightship.
We heard the sound of firing some
time before the submarine hove in
sight" Gray said today, but by the
time we had discovered that sub
marine was operating in our vicinity
it was too late to escape. When we
came on to the scene of action, the
undersea boat was engaged with the
British steamer Stephano. While
the passengers and crew of the Ste
piano were disembarking, the U boat
ran alongside the Knudsen and or
dered us to steam nearer the Ste
piano.
while the submarine was along
side the knudsen waiting for the
captain to take his papers aboard,
one of the United States destroyers
came into view. Almost Immediately
the submarine submerged and remain
ed under water until the destroyer
came near enough to be recognized
as neutral vessel, when it inlmedi-
ately came to the surface and con-
tinued its work.
I'VE were told to pack up our be-
longings and leave the ship, which
weat once began to do. We had
plenty Of time to get off while the
submarine was disposing of the other
vessel, We had rowed some distance
away before the submarine fired on
the Knudsen. 1t fired at least $50
shots and these not having the de-
sired effect, it cut loose torpedo,
which struck the vessel amidships
and it soon went down."

TALK OF EIGHT. HOUR LAW

Columbus, Neb., Oct. 9,-(Special
Telegram.)--In an afternoon political
meeting at the North theater Leslie
NJ. Shaw, ex-secretary Of the treas
ury in the Roosevelt cabinet and ex-
governor of Iowa, delivered schol-
arly appeal on behalf of the republic
ans, and Vice President Thomas R.

spoke for the democrats. The affair
was staged by the Platte county re-
publican and democratic committees
together, and was preceded by non
partisan reception and luncheon ten
dered both visitors. Mr.. Shaw spoke
.conyincingly of the republican tariff
policy, showed up Wilson's Mexican
policy and disclosed the weakness of
the Adamson eight-hour law.
The vice president was introduced
by Edgar Howard. In his speech he
told of the effect of the eight-hour
law and devoted some time to the
tariff.
In discussing the eight-hour law
the vice president declared it was no
campaign issue, although it could be
made one when the republican party
says it will repeal it. ..-5..
"The eight-hour law cahnot be set
tied in court, asa court could not
settle an opinion of mankind" he ex-
planned. 1T cannot be settled by ar
bitration, as there are no facts, just
opinions"

unions in connection with the eight

Each Case Rests on Merits.
The position OF the United States,
as far as it has been announced, has
been to decide on its merits the case
of each submarine entering an Ameri-
can port. Inasmuch as the German
submcrsible which entered Newport
Saturday took no supplies, asked for
no privileges and departed almost i'm
mediately, it is not thought that it
raised any issue. So
The general opinion prevailing to-
day was that with the gathering of
allied cruisers off the New England
coast, the submarines would desert
that field and strike their next blows

pected to hear OF operations in the
Gulf of Mexico, where persistent
story says a German base has been

sibles could strike at the fleets of

HUGHES DISCUSSES
. THE ADAMSON LAW
Analyses Measure Intended to
Raise Pay of Favored Glass
of Railway Employees.
LAWS TITLE is MISN0MER

Newark, N. J., Oct. 9.--Following is
the address which Charles Z. Hughes,
the republican candidate for presi-
dent, delivered at public open air
meeting here today: 's
Il am not opposed to the principle
of an eight-hour work day. On the
contrary, favor it. The general prin-
ciple OF the eight-hour work day is
that limiting labor to eight hours pro-
notes health, happiness and ef-
ficiency. 1t not only frees from ex-
cessive strain, but gives opportunity
for education, for enjoyment, for the
pleasant and profitable resources OF
leisure. The whole point is the limi-
tation of hours of labor, that man
hall work eight hours and no longer.
The 'Adamson bilP does not provide
that. 1t is mere pretence to say that
it does. 1t does not limit hours; it
simply regulates pay. 1t is wage
bill. ,
T.. Text of the Bill.
LET us look at the text of the act.
1t provides that eight hours shall in
contracts for labor and service be
deemed a days work and the measure
or standard of days work for the
purpose of reckoning the compensa-
ton for services, of the cmpl ,ycs
mentioned. Thatis the only purpose
the purpose of reckoning compen-
sation.' There is no limit to hours Of
work. Then, again, it is provided
that pending the report of the COM
mission and for thirty days thereafter
the compensation of railway en-
ployes, subject to this act for a stand
ard eight-hour work day, shall no.
be reduced below the present standard
days wage, AID for all necessary
time in excess of eight hours such
employees shall be raid at a rate not
less than a pro-rata rate for su:h
standard eight-hour day There is no
fixing of hours OF work; there is ro
prohibition of working more than
eight hours.
What Underwood Said.
"The reference to eight hours is
solely to fix the wage scale. As Sena-
tor Underwood said, in the cours4 Of
the debate in the senate, replying to
another senator:
" If the senator would go ard con-
suit with any of the gentlemen who
represent the employees, and who have
been contending here in this matter,
they would tell him candjdly, las they
told me, that the question is qucs-
'tion of wage; that they are not con-
tending fol an eight-hour day; that
a man shall work only eight hcnrs
they do not want that
Plainly whether there should be at
this time an eight-hour Work day in
particular employment depends on the
condition of that employment. Some
employments are readily adjusted to
it and others are not. Railroads are
not like ordinary industries. 1t was
not suggested that il was practicable
to put in true plea for an eight-ho
day for the railroad, Indeed, the CON
trary was conceded. Railroad runs
are made to division points. Men Sc
lect their homes accordingly.
Time Of Actual Service.
"The time Of actual service may be
more or less than eight hours. This
has not been changed; il was not in
tended that it should be changed. The
change is in the wage scale, not in the
hours Of labcr. Railroad wage sched-
ules were based on hdurs and miles;
that is, ten hours and 100 miles. If
