GOOD ADVICE TO LABOR

The High School Teachers Union
furnishes an excellent example of
the manner in which organized labor
may benefit by the formation Of
unions among workers who hitherto
have been regarded as belonging to
the professions and therefore out of
the pale of union organization.
The Washington teachers union
boldly criticises what it believes to
be the undue activity Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor in a letter
70 President Samuel Gompers, Of the
federation, which says:
We believe that the cause Of labor
may be materially injured by the
fact that its leaders are endeavoring
to align the millions OF labor votes
behind one Of the tickets In a ma
tional election.
Working men themselves are
doing more and more thinking on
their own account, and any element
in their ranks which makes for a
freer expression Of opinion is dis
tinct benefit to organized labor. The
tendency in any organization as
powerful az the American Fedora
ton of Labor is to exercise it's
strength in fields for which it was
not formed and with which primarily
Il has no concern.
The teachers have gotten in closer
touch with the life which they are
training pupils to enter, by affiliating
with the American Federation of
Labor. The federation will benefit
by the open and honest expression Of
the teachers viewpoint, rs well as
by that Of any other class Of work.
srs. To have teachers and other
professional folk uniting in counsel
and discussion with members Of Or
sanized labor will serve to break
down artificial barriers In the think
ing of the so-called professional folk
and MANNERS of labor unions.

ThE TALK OF COERCION

Mr.. Hughes, in some Of his
speeches, has vigorously sustained
his right to criticise the Democratic
Administration about international
IS well as domestic policies. The
Democratic campaign management
has protested that this is not fair,
because in delicate international
matters the Administration might
be at disadvantage If it should tell
all it knew; it cannot be- altogether
frank, lest it cause offense to foreign
powers.
That would seem to be the misfor-
tune Of the Administration only.
This election is altogether likely to
be decided on international issues.
The tariff is decidedly phase of in
ternational relationships, and the
other foreign questions need no
identification as such. When rela-
tons with other countries are so ire
mendously important as now, they
will be talked about, whether or no.
Mr.. Hughes has criticised things
which have been done in the past.
He has made the issue perfectly
clear. He has done it without en-
earrassment to the present Admin
istration in the management of for
eign relations, and is not entitled to
criticism for it.
President Wilson's talk about
coercion Is not going to be taken
seriously. That sort Of talk never
has been, and under conditions that
obtain in national politics now there
is less ground for 1t than ever be-
fore. The election will be as free
and honest an expression Of national
sentiment as was ever made, and all
sides know it.

The Herald believes that the states

New York Has Important Place.
New York occupies a highly I'm
portant place in the calculations of all
the political managers. With its for
ty-five electoral votes II has decided
other elections. The Herald's straw
vote indicates that the Republican
strongholds outside the metropolis
will give a large but reduced plural
ity for the Republican ticket.
TN the city the President received
fifty-three per cent OF the total straw
vote. In the upstate sections Mr.
Hughes received fifty-fIve per cent

State.

soMR TIPS ON SHIRT REFORM

An American consul in South
America writes that those folks
down there would buy American
shirts, if only Americans would
make shirts those folks would buy.
He specifies the troubles with Amer
lean shirts, and somehow our opin-
ion of Latin-American shirt taste
takes an upward turn on perusal Of
his specifications. One is tempted to
wish that some American manufac-
turer would make some South Amer
lean shirts, and then perpetrate the
grateful error Of putting them on
the North American market.
Latin-Americans, it is avouched,
twill not tolerate the crooked seams,
the scant tails, the overfull shoul-
ders and sleeves, and above all they
hate the divided flap common in the
United States"
Who, contemplating that denunci-
alton. of evils we have all come to
account inevitable, will not confess
that the brethren of our sister re-
publics possess high convictions and
the monumental courage thereof T?
Who will deny that the bill Of par
ticulars represents the essence of
common shirt sense?
Wherefore must q shirt be made
with only single measurement
that of the neck's circumference-to
guide in fitting oneself into it?
What justice in putting long, spare
man into a shirt that's only waist
length, because his neck is only 14h
inches Of girth? Or why need a
brief but broad person be compelled

No Desire for War.
1T IL idle for any one TO say that a
criticism OF the policies OF the present
Administration implies either a desire
for war or a tendency to war.
I'VE propose that this nation shall
stand erect before the world with con-
scious self-respect. prepared for every
emergency. devoted to the ideals Of
justice. not petulant. not threatening,
but exhibiting frmness and consistency
and ihdomltable spirit which will show

I've cannot maintain our place II we
let any nation be under any misappre-
hension as to the true sentiment OF the
United States. We ought not invite
indignities; We ought not invite insults.
II IL better that America should be un-

our own respect for ourselves should
not be doubted or misunderstood by any
people.
DeHeVe that the American people
are to record at this election an express
sion of their opinion with respect to the
necessity for proper preparedness TO
maintain our national defense. We be-
lieve In preparedness. but we do not
believe In paper preparedness. We are
not satisfied with vast appropriations
or public money unless II Is TO be ex-
pended under competent leadership.
We have had many extravagant
claims on the part of our opponents. At
one time you would suppose they were
monopolists OF peace. They forget that
their policy in Mexico was so very
wrong-headed in character as to lead
us into petty war and to provoke enmity
where we should have friendship and
respect.
But they have also shown while they
have promised and said much OF eff
ficiency In administration. a failure TO
recognize the fundamental conditions OF
that efficiency.

Wilson Non in Lead
In Straw Vote Poll

The New York Herald's political poll.
which hitherto had given Charles f..
Hughes a lead. today places Wilson
slightly ahead.
Out OF a total vote cast OF 24S,i6S, VIII
son received 10, 1872 and Hughes, 1850.
The situation rests on so delicate n
balance that hairs weight may swing
It in either direction" IL the Heralds
conclusion from its last figures before
election day.
1t IL stated that. with a little impetus
within the last few days before cleo
ton. the steady drift toward Wilson
may develop into a landslide by next
Tuesday.
In the first weeks total votes Hughes
received 5l.6 per cent. In the seventh
and last weeks canvass his total was
49, per cent.
A study OF the figures for successive
weeks shows that President Wilson has
moved steadily forward and Hughes has
fallen steadily backward.
Apportionment of Electors.
The straw ballot OF the Herald would
apportion the electoral vote as follows:
