Referring to President Wilson's untiring efforts
to avert a country wide railway strike, the New
York Commercial, a leading non-partisan financial
paper of national influence, says: "Mr. Wilson is
wearing out his heart and mind trying to avert
big industrial catastrophe; Mr.. Hughes is out on
the stump hammering at Mr.. Wilson for alleged
inefficiency. The voters mind is really on the
railway strike and not on campaign speeches. If
anything he sympathizes with Mr. Wilson, who
bears the tremendous responsibilities while his
opponent is care free

SETS CHILDREN FREE.

The signing of the federal child labor bill by
President Wilson marks the end of long hard
fight for the protection of the working children of
the country from the consequence Of too early toll
The house passed the measure in the first half of
President Wilson s first term but it reached the
senate too late in the session for it to be enacted
into law. This session it again passed the house
and when there was shown some disposition to put
the bill over until the December session the pres-
dent went himself to the capitol to urge its passage
before congress adjourned 1t passed the senate
by vote of 50 to IL.
The bill prohibits the shipments in interstate
commerce of the products of any mine quarry
where children under 16 years of age en-
ployed or OF factory cannery where children
under IA are employed, or children under 16 are
allowed to work at night, or than eight hours
day. About quarter of million children are
affected by the new statute, according to the
figures of 1910, who in that year were found at
work in mines and factories. 1t is easy to see that
army of children will be- as the years go by,
freed from the curse of child labor.
1t is really second emancipation proclamation
that President Wilson put his hand and seal to
when he signed the Heating child labor BILL From
the point of view of human welfare, it is perhaps
the most important act of his administration.

Science and Nations.

True revolutionists, believe me, the
real men OF action, who are promoting
truth and justice for the morrow. are
scientists. Governments fall and pass
away; nations grow, shine with splen-
dor and decay. But what matterf The
discoveries OF science VIII go on, will
increase, will give mankind more and
more light and certainty. The close OF
a century Is a small matter. the march
Of human progress will always be re
sumed; human nature will insist on
having knowledge, whatever may be
the obstacles. 1t is foolish TO object
that we can never know anything we
have got to know all we can that we
may attain the greatest happiness.
And therefore | say, How foolish are
all the political disputes that excite
nations, While the salvation Of prog
ress IL supposed to be involved In the
fate of ministry, 1t is really the sci
entist-the man OF learning-who will
be the master Of the future when he
shall be able to enlighten men with
new spark Of truth. All injustice shall
cease when truth shall reign.-Emile

1t will take a good many Deutschlands
and Bremens to shake the grip which
Great Britain has on German commerce.
Hundreds of freight carrying ships would
be required to supply Germany with that
which she needs in the present emergen
cy; and it would be required that they
keep constantly in commission for that
purpose, coming and going at regular in
tervals. That it is physical impossible
ity for Germany to start such a system
of commerce under the present conditions
seems certain, because, in the first place,
it has not the submersible ships in suffi-
cent numbers to inaugurate the system
and, in the second place, the British navy
will not let the submersible ships slip
through the Gordon as easily as did the
Deutschland on her maiden trip from
Germany to the United States. If there
were not actual destruction of many of
the vessels there would be constant de-
lay and beating off the course in order
to elude the watching warships. Under
present conditions, Germany's efforts to
shake off the British grip in this way do
not seem likely TO be effective
