a. Worth While Magazine.

Now that so many Of our exchanges
are saving white paper by cutting off
their exchange lists, we find THE Edi-
torial" a friend indeed in our need.
There we find the ways in which the
editors of the country's greatest news
papers are viewing questions of the
passing day. The ablest minds of the
newspaper world are quoted every
week in this little magazine which fills
the void that has been felt by all other
magazines. In these times 1t is a
doubly welcome visitor to the busy
man, and the man who is looking for
logical Interpretation of the world de-
velopments as reported in the news
columns.
The Editorial gives the best utter
ances fom widely different viewpoints
upon every topic of current discussion.
In politics one can find his own party's
argument, and the answer. 1t puts
the editorial writer in good company,
and gives the average reader oppor-
tunity to compare or contrast the edi-
torial writer of his newspaper with
the best editorial writer's of the coun-
try.
The Editorial has an editorial de-
partment of it's own, but so per cent of
the magazine is devoted to selected
editorial utterances from the news
papers and magazines of the entire
country. In the current issue The Edi-
tors editors have dealt with:
Enjoying Good Health" Real and
Bogus Politics." Goodness Asserting
ITSELF" Investing in Worthless
Stocks" "Observed and Noted"
In the same issue we find selected
editorials on: Miscellaneous Topics,
Political Governmental, War-Foreigh
Relations - Preparedness. Medical -
Disease-Eugenics. Industrial-Agri

necessarily precludes any feeling OF

States utilizes the same instrumental

Wilson and the Farmers

mot a word has been spoken by
Congress in defense Of the woman who
makes the hay and gathers the sheaves,
and little has been done that will in
crease the income Of the farmer or en-
able him to pay little higher wages
to his laborers." This Is the statement
Of a Texan, Col. Henry N. Pope, pres
ident Of the Association Of State Pres
idents Of Farmers Unions.
Col. Pope is especially indignant at
President Wilson's course with regard
to the railway wage increase bill. He
says further. But today we find the
highest paid laborers in the world,
making three times more money than
farmers, demanding twenty-five per
cent increase and Congress Fastening
to their relief. This increase must in
the end rest upon the back Of the farm
ers and will reduce their incomes, In
crease their hours Of labor and call
for another levy Of farm mothers from
the home to the field"
"The Democratic leaders. including
Mr.. Wilson, have indicated that when
Congress meets in December legislation
authorizing the railroads so to increase
their freight rates as to compensate
them for the increase Of pay they have
been compelled to give their men. will
be enacted. Col. Pope's efforts are be-
ing directed to preventing the proposed
increase Of freight rates.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1916-09-29

Proof is daily coming to light that
Democrats Of Texas believe as do
Republicans Of Maine, that prompt at
tention to the tariff only can save US
from disaster soon after the European
war ends.
Il believe in a tariff to protect our
manufacturers, and believe in a tariff
for revenue. I believe in business pro-
lection. That's where Germany got
ahead. I haven't any patience with
this so called war tax. It's nothing but
a deficiency revenue tax. We Demo-
Gratis have shipped off too much Of the
tariff. Now 1t must be put back. If
we don't put it back. I'll give the
European countries a years time after
the war stops to flood this country
with goods at such low prices we can't
compete with them"
This is not a New England protec-
zionist who says this, but Texas
Democrat, NJ. A. Cooper, president Of
the Cooper Grocery Co.. Of Waco. I've
found that the business men of the
country place more faith in Mr.
Hughes than in Mr.. Wilson. continued
. Mr. Cooper. "They seem to think that
Hughes is safer from business stand
point. We've had too many side lines
in the tax line in this administration.
Our business men appreciate, too, that
if we don't get a change in the tariff
and quick change, too. we shall be

dogs"

"PitiIess Publicity"

Before he was elected, Woodrow Will
son announced that his administration
would be characterized by "pitiless
publicity" Since his Inauguration ev-
en- normal publicity has given place to
political expediency. The latest in
stance Of this is the absolute refusal
Of the War Department to reveal the
facts regarding the attack on San Ig-
nacio, Tex. by Mexican troops, pre-
sumably Carranzistas. Army officers
at the Department explain that they
are under peremptory orders not to dis
close the facts and, as everyone knows.
those orders come from President Will
son himself. The Official report OF the

operation such a colossal combination
cannot but work grave injury to the
foreign trade of the United States.
In his campaign speeches Gov
Hughes has dwelt with emphasis upon
the prospect of the greatest CONNER
cial rivalry the world has ever known,
following the end of the war. He has
pointed out that the war has served to
develop degree Of Industrial organi-
zation and efficiency hereto unknown
among European nations. He has por-
trayed conditions when the probably
10000. 900 men now either actually en-
gagged in fighting or devoting their en-
tire energies to producing munitions
for the armies, shall return to their in
dustrial pursuits. It is a keen percep-
ton of these conditions and the i'm
perative necessity for finding employ
ment for these great armies after the
war which has prompted the diplo-
matte negotiations looking to the pre-
emption Of the worlds trade by the al
lied powers, In order that peace may
be accompanied by an era Of unem-
ployment almost as disastrous as the
war itself, in order that foreign mar
kets for the trade Of belligerents may
be instantly commanded and that,
without undue delay. the gold which
has been sent abroad to pay for am
munition and military supplies may be
resained.
With the prospect Of having, as
Chief Executive, to represent the in
terests of this country in the diplo-
matte negotiations which will attend
the abrostaion Of existing commercial
treaties and the substitution of new
ones therefore. Mr.. Hughes has doubt
less felt it would not be diplomatic to
dwell at too great length on the trade
program Of the allied powers. To do

quent efforts to procure for the United
States terms as little unfavorabe as

Worlds Greatest Trust a War Growth

Additional reports regarding the
Paris conference and further disclos-
ure Of the plans of the Allies reveal
the purpose Of continuing the existing
military alliance in the form Of a
commercial alliance after peace is de-
clared. 1t is proposed to adopt by
mutual agreement a system of tariff
duties whereby the allied powers will
endeavor to promote their own trade
and to prevent the Central Powers,
especially Germany, from regaining
their share of the worlds trade which
they enjoyed prior to the war. In this
scheme the United States is to be ac-
corded the place Of a neutral" neither
enjoying the advantages of the Allies
nor suffering quite as much disadvan-
tage as the Central powers. There is,
Of course, considerable question as to
how far it will be practicable for the
Allies to discriminate against the
United States and in favor Of them
selves, without inficting as great in
jury on the trade of this country as on
the Central Powers, which will be the
chief object Of the discrimination. The
plan involves. Of course. the abroga-
ton Of all treaties containing a most
favored nation" clause and, with Eng
land. Russia, France, Belgium. Rou-
mania, Servia, and Montenegro. to-
gether with the English and French
colonies, each enjoying tariff advan-
tages in. the markets Of all the others.
the arrangement promises to consti-
tute the greatest commercial trust the
world has ever witnessed.
Even if the word of the Allies. that
this gigantic commercial syndicate is
organized primarily for their joint ad-
vantage. secondarily as q punitive
measure against their present enemies,
and with no purpose whatever to in
lure the United States. be accepted as

Away Something Sings.

Let me go where'er l will.

1t sounds from all things young,
From all that's fair, from all that's foul
Peals out a cheerful song.
1t Is not only in the rose,
1t is not only in the bird,
Not only where the rainbow glows,
Nor in the song of woman heard,
But in the darkest, meanest things
There Away alway something sings.
'Tis not in the high stars alone,
Not in the cup of budding flowers,
Nor in the redbreast's mellow tone,
Nor in the bow that smiles in showers,
But in the mud and scum of things
There alway, alway something sings.
