COCHRAN'S COMMENT

ELECTION BETTING. - It's an
old political trick for the side that
has the money to post bets, offering
odds on that side. 1t isn't straight
betting, but rather a trick to mould
public opinion. 1t has its influence on
the band-wagon voter who doesn't
know or care much about the prin-
ciples involved, but who wants to be
on the winning side. With the Wall
street millions against Wilson it is
not strange that New York betting
favors Hughes:

FACE THE Truth

BY force of habit, doubtless, the
theory seems to survive among many
Republican spokesman that President
Wilson's administrator can be dis
credited by Misrepresentation. One
evidence lies in the effort being made
TO arouse sentiment in the business
community by dwelling in every ad
Vertising medium they can reach up.
ON the increases of imports under the
Underwood tariff law, notwithstand.
ing the European war. The effort is
bound to fail for very simple reason
tho facts riddle it.
In their tariff publicity" the Re-
publican partlsans ignore the enor-
nous increases of exports because
these show the unprecedented pros
perity of the country. Also, they do
not analyze the imports. If they did
both, they would discover the in
crease Of imports is wholly due to the
fact that the U. s. is drawing upon
all parts of the earth to secure the
materials from which to manufacture
the vast quantities of supplies of all
sorts which other nations, both bel
lgerents and neutral, need at this
time. Huge though it be, the domes-
tic supply of many of these raw ma
terials is not adequate to supply the
demand, and hence foreign raw ma
terials are being brought in to aug
ment the domestic supply.
That such is the situation clearly
appears from new statistics on the
subject just issued by the department
OF commerce BY reducing or remov-
ing entirely the tariffs on many es-
Bential raw materials the Underwood
tariff act greatly aided American
manufacturers in meeting the new
foreign demands upon them Thus
millions upon millions of dollars have
been drawn into this country In pay
ment of the service rendered by
American labor and capital in manu-
featuring these imported raw mater
iRis into articles desperately needed
by the outside world.
The conclusion business men will
draw is obvious: The tariff should not
be changed unless conditions change,
and then should be readjusted only
upon the advice of experts. The lat
ser contingency is provided against
by President Wilson's recommends
tion for the creation of tariff com
mission.

Chairman Glynn concluded with
praise for President Wilson, who, he
said, has measured up to the best ira
ditions of great Office.
The Man Who Has Made Democracy
Proud.
He has been wise with a wisdom
that is stepped in the traditions Of his
country, with wisdom that has been
disciplined by training and broadened
by instruction.
that proceeds from deep conviction,
with the firmness that is grounded in
duty well defined.
HE has been patient with the pa
tience which believes and trusts that
truth crushed to earth will rise again,
with the patience that can endure and
wait, watch and pray, for the certain
uin ff IN nj
right.
HE has been patriotic with a pa
triotism that has never wavered, pa
triotism that is as pure and strong as
the faith that moved the fathers when
they made our country free.
"And when the history Of these days
