domestic field and in the wide field of
commerce of the world, American
business and life and industry have
been set free to move us they never
moved before.
The tariff has ben revised, not or
the principle of repelling foreign
trade, but upon the principle of en-
couraging it, upon something like q
footing of equality witho ur own in
respect of the terms of competition,
and a tariff board has been created
whose function it will be to keep the
relations of American with foreign
business and industry under constant
observation, for the guidance alike of
our business men and of our congress.
American energies are now directed
towards the markets of the world.
The laws against trusts have been
clarified by definition, with view to
making it plain that they were not
directed against big business, but only
against unfair business and pretense
of competition where there was none
and a trade commission has been
created with powers of guidance and
accommodation which have relieved
business men of unfounded fears and
set them upon the road of hopeful
and confident enterprise.

MONTE ROLFE BATTLES WITH
STORM-LOST IN THE CLOUDS.

(Extract from exchange, Wapako-
meta, o., Aug. 24.)
The famous English aviator, Monte
Rolfe, had n thrilling experience on n
cross country flight from Wapakoneta
to Kcnton, and return. Yesterday
morning Rolfe started for Kenton.
and had succeeded in getting about
half way when storm came up. De-
termined to make the best of it, he
drove his machine with all peed to-
ward the sky, in order to get above
the clouds and rain. This he succeed
ed in doing, but after getting above
the clouds, he became lost and flew
around in circle, SO as to be able
to get his bearings. In doing so he
saw an open spot IN the clouds and
made for it. When he reached the
spot he found himself hemmed in all
around, and his machine going au
the rate of 70 miles an hour he be-
came confused, and turned his mac
hine upwards again, and drove thr-
ough the binding rain and wind until
ne was safe above the clouds again.
This time he found that he had lost
all track of direction. He then started
for some place, not knowing where
he would land, and finally flew north
and over Ada. AS there seemed to be
no rain there he came down close
enough to read "Ada" on the Ada
Manufacturing Company's building,
when he knew where he was and
made detour to the north. then east
and south, and finally reached Ken
ION. But he did not land, and flew
straight west toward Wapakoneta
again. BY this time the clouds hal
disappeared to some extent. and the
rain had ceased so that he could see
the town. He landed safely after fly
ing about 20 miles, where he should
nave flown about Cd miles, the dis.
tance from Wapakoneta to Kenton
and return.
Rolfe said last night that he has
had many narrow escapes, but this
one was q corker. After the storm he
flew again this afternoon, but was
content to do his wiggles and other
crazy stuff nearer the home plate.
Rolfe has been engaged for an ex-
hibition of his stunts at the Tazewell
Fair, and the attraction will be :,
feature of the occasion. His ability
as an aviator, and his unusual daring
has placed him among the foremost
in the ranks Of the airmen. adv.

Daring Bandits
Rob Restaurant
And Make ESCAPE

Two unmasked bandits walked into
the Harley Hotel restaurant at zoos
Farnam street at l:30 o'clock this
morning and, while one menaced all
in the place with a revolver, the
other rifled the cash register and re-
lieved two walters and patron Of
their valuables.
The register contained $40, and E.
A. Blake, waiter lost So. Another
waiter named James, who had just
been relieved from duty'and was leav-
ing the restaurant, was further re-
lieved of $3.50.
M. E. Gleason, 2l07 Farnam street,
a customer who was waiting for a
meal he had just ordered, got the
supper free, as far as the restaurant
was concerned, because the robbers
took So from him and left him without
funds to pay for it. They also took
his watch.
Both men were under 80 years OF
age and armed. They went about
their business leisurely and when they
departed they separated and ran in
opposite directions.
A. P. Bertschy, automobile dealer,
saw them and when told of the rob-
berry, gave chase, but was unsuccess-
full in following the robbers.

Stealing Autos Not

One Time in Omaha

Examination of police records dur
ing the last week show that in that
time, not single automobile has
been stolen in Omaha. Several were
Borrowed" for a few hours by joy
riders, but recovered the same day.
The reason advanced for this is the
wholesale recovery of stolen cars
last week, and the arrest of nearly
twenty perons accused of being i'm
plicated in the thefts of cars. For
nearly three months, from two to
half dozen complaints were made
daily to police headquarters, by vic
tins of auto thieves.
Chicago, Oct. 26.-The increase in
thefts of automobiles here from in
significance in 1911 to excess of
$4,000 thus far in 1916, was shown
in a report by the police department
today. The thefts since January
this year were ISL cars and the
total for the year were 8,023 cars, OF
which 5000 were recovered.
Insurance companies have paid
$500,000 in theft losses this year and
the premiums in insurance against
automobile theft alone have been
more than $5,000,000.

Concerning the mawkish claim that
President Wilson kept the nation out

I'm the opinion of the Daily News,
the president, in honor and safety,
could not have done less than he did
in dealing with the submarine and
other questions. whereas considcra-
tons of honor and safety might we'll
have caused him to do more than he
did. Because of unprecedented condi-
tons in the foreign field the president
has accomplished no remarkable feat
in keeping the nation out of war,
though the fact that we are not now
at war is the chief boast of his sup
porters. Yet for more than two years
there has been nobody anywhere who
could have been persuaded to go to
war with us. Nearly all the worlds

Scholarly Egoist.
"Mr. Wilson is scholarly egoist, who
measures all things by personal stan
dards, which are subject to no modifi-
cations other than those resulting
from his confirmed policy OF oppor-
tunism.
DO the easiest thing and make the
most of it, might be the accepted
motto of this eminently plausible
president. Having no real advisers
and no cabinet, except in name, this
was made clear by the resignation OF
Secretary Garrison, he has. felt free
to follow his own inclinations at all
times. His inclinations have been
right in many instances and he has
accomplished much that should prove
Of lasting value to the nation. Blessed
with safe party majority in each
house of congress throughout the
whole period of his administration,
and having not an atom of that de-
sirable passion for wise economy
which characterized another demo-
cratic president, Grover Cleveland, he
has found ways of keeping under his
hand ready instrument for the en-
actment of such measures as he chose
to approve and OF staying measures
that were not to his liking. In short
to an extraordinary degree he has had
his way in legislative affairs"
