TIoN WILL TURN RoosE-
WELT DOWN.

The Republican National Convention
is in full blast at Chicago as we go to
press. Likewise the Progressives are
in session at d different place in Chi
cago. For three days the Roosevelt
supporters and the stand-pat Repub-
licans have been struggling for the
mastery. Roosevelt wants the Repub-
lican nomination for President. but la
test Indications are that Justice Hugh
es, OF the U. s. Supreme Court. will be
nominated by the Republicans and
Roosevelt by the Progressives. There
is bitter feeling between the two fac
tions.

Latest Bulletin.

At 1880 Thursday afternoon the Big
Sandy News received q long distance
message saying the convention had ta-
ken recess until o'clock. The plat
form will stand for a bigger army and
navy and for rural credits. A prohibi-
ton plank was voted down. The fate
Of woman suffrage is yet undecided.
Roosevelt wired that he would go to
the Republican convention and make
a speech IL sufficiently urged by the
convention. The body declined to in
vite him.

shows that the rank and file of the local
are wide awake to the conditions under
which they work. Fischer has advanced
the interest OF the Steamfitters more in
the past two years than it had advanced
in the ten years before that. Changing
OF the business agent on any local is
poor policy, because ii will take the
new man over a year to reach the cX-
perience of the old one. The Steam
filters showed good business sense by
rewarding man who does good work.

LONG CAR STRIKE ENDS.
In WilkeSbarre- Return on
Compromise Basis.

Wilkesbarrc, Pcnn-General satisfac-
ton was expressed here today that the
long street car strike which began Octo-
Der II, 1915, has come to an end. 1t is
expected the men taken back by the
Wilkesbarre Street Railway Company
will return to work tomorrow.
The agreement to end the strike was
reached early today after iive-hour
meeting. The proposition agreed upon
calls for the return of 100 of the orig
inal $40 strikers, the remainder to be put
on waiting list. The employees hired
during the strike are to be retained.
The men return to work on COM
promise which call for 2SH cents an
hour after the 1st of January. Until
that time the men go back on the basis
of an award over which the trouble
started II months ago.
The strike was attended by much vio-
lencc and caused the State authorities
to send the entire force of State police
to this vicinity.
Governor Brumbaugh and committees
of business men at various times tried
to bring about settlement. The United
Mine Workers of America several times
took hand in trying to end the strike,
and the efforts of this organization were
finally successful, as the agreement
reached is a compromise proposition Of
fered through a committee of mine
workers who acted as mediatorS.

WON'T PATRONIZE STREET CARS

New York.-The Public Service Com
mission is worried over the congested
transportation system of this city. A
September, has resulted in the street
car companies losing 100000 passeng-
ers a day. These now patronize the sub
ways. The problem is to divert this
number to the surface cars, although
the strike is still on. The opinion is
abandoned because of the poor service
the new trolleymcn and conductors are
giving the public"

MANAGER OBJECTS TO UNION.

Danbury, Conn-Machinist employed
by the Ball and Roller Bearing company,
who were forced on strike several weeks
ago, are standing firm for their right to
organize. When the men organized they
were told by Manager Helm that he
would not have man work for him who
belonged to a Union. This backward
looking gentleman is now having his
troubles with strikebreakers.

asking for shoes as gifts. and the furni-
ture and clothing stores record larger
sale than ever before. Many articles
not ordinarily connected with the yt1le-
tide have been arranged in Christmas
boxes and placed on the counters as
Christmas suggestions. For instance,
wells are tucked away in holly boxes,
with the top fold over white or colored
paper so that the delicate tracery of the
pattern may be brought out.
Another indication of the sincerity of
the Christmas spirit is manifested in the
doing away with hundreds of promis-
cuous gifts. In their places, thousands
of dainty hand-painted cards, engraved
with the sender's name, will go forth.
Gifts, more than ever before, will be
limited to the family circle and small
number of intimates. The cards come in
all varieties and many of them are ex-
quisite enough to be framed
Luxuries Still Demanded.
But although the practical gift will
predominant, there are numbers of love-
ly and costly gifts. Furs, expensive
waists and lingerie find ready purchas-
crs and Jewelry stores are doing tre-
mendous business. The relief sales in

wood and satin to match the boudoir arc
popular, as well as odd-shaped cushions.
A popular novelty is the cretonne-cov-
cred box, glstening with tinsel, which
made its appearance last year. This is
of tin, made for crackers or candies, and
is designed for the boudoir. Afternoon
tea, by the way, in the woman's sane
tum sanctorum is becoming more and
more popular, and hand-painted tea sets
on trays are exhibited by the score.
Among the novelties, hand-painted
wood prcdominates. Hand-carved fig
urcs, painted in bright colors, furnish
door-supports book-racks and orna-
ments. An odd use is that of a figure
which fits over the telephone hiding the
ugly lines of the instrument

Xmas Gifts Come High
Cost of Living Has Hit Presents, Like Other Things
Buyers Tend To Practcal.-Shoes and Wells In Great
Demand, But Je.uels Also Find Purchasers

Two significant features stand out in
ST. Nick's advent this year: First
Christmas costs more than ever before
secondly, the great mass of useless gifts
have been done away with and strictly
practical ones substituted.
Never have the shops been crowded
with more brilliant array of gifts, put
up in attractive holly boxes and ribbons
to lure the purchaser. Novelties of all
kinds are displayed on every hand, and
even the old 'stand-bys" that are al
ways brought forth and refurnshed for
the holiday season, are attractive enough
to seem almost like original gifts. With
such an outlay to gladden. the heart, it
is nothing less than disastrous to find
that beauty and price have gone hand
in hand, and the articles that last year
were sent as humble gifts, this year have
assumed large proportions. For this adj
vance various reasons are assigned, all
of them so familiar that they may be
included under the term high cost of
living"
Practical Things Most Popular.
Possibly it is the cost, and possibly
it may be a realization Of the true value
of the Christmas spirit that is making
the shoppers look askance at the delight

them instead to the purchase of the

WHY RESTORE FHE REPUBLICAN

In November the voters Of the Unit

Sresident and a congress. Which par
~ will be selected? Which party
should be selected? The Democrar :,
es the Republican?
This question ia Of vital importance
- every American citizen. and each
one should carefully consider al the
,.0hsses before he casts his ballot. In
RakinE his selection he should not be
controlled by party prejudices, but
should face the situation as it Is: ana

then exercise his privilege as an elect

While there are many side issues
and many minor differences between
the two great parties, there are but
two fundamental principles underlying
the two. The foundation of the Re-
publican party is Protection. protec-
tion to American manufacturing in
'dustries, protection to the laboring
nan. protection to the farmer. The
fundamental principle of the Demo-
cratic party is free trade. or so nearly
- that adequate protection is not CIV
en- to- our industries. If We will scan
history. or Jog our memories. we must
know that whenever the Democratic
party has come into power the tariff
has been revised downward without
Delay, placing a large per cent of ar
ticles imported into this country on
the free list. The Republican party.
on the other hand invariably places a
duty upon imported articles. not only
with view Of furnishing revenue to
run the government, but to protect
home industries.
When the present Democratic presi-
dent and congress came into power
no time was lost in passing the Under

that law was the one burning ambition

after President Wilson signed the tariii
law, the New York Tribune received a
dispatch from Paris which said. The
new tarfY law is welcome in France
and il gives satisfaction to the leaders

The director OF the German Associa-
ton OF Industrialists made the follow
ing statement. "Unquestionably the
adoption OF the American tariff is the
action for sincere satisfaction to Ger
man exporters. II will bring abou.
vast increase in our export business.
and it may be regarded as certain that
he first oportunity to feel the effect
Of the change will be the textile manu-
taeturers." And he further congratu-
lated German manufacturers on the
opportunity afforded by the Democrat

kets.
