AUTUMN, 1916, IN AMERICA
(From Cincinnati Post.)

The fall is here. The keen air
nips shrewdly. The frost is Of
ten on the pumpkin and the per-
simmon. The main work of the
year is done. The bOuntiful
crops of corn and wheat and
oats have been harvested. They
have either been stored i'm the
barns or sent to the markets,
where they are bringing top
prices. The young men are busy
about their farms, repairing the
fences, oiling machines, looking
after their stock.
Everywhere we find peace and
prosperity and happiness. Men
are leading their normal lives,
and the wOmenfOlk, whose hap
piness is bound up with theirs,
likewise are leading their normal
lives.
1t might have been very diff
ercnt. a little slip at Washing
ton little giving way to anger
or emotion, and
The countryside would present
different story. Many of the
broad, fat acres would be until
ed. On others the crops would
be rOtting in the fields, unless
the men and the crippled, and
The women and children, made
effort TO harvest them. No
sounds of rifle shots and no
boom of cannon would be heard
on the deserted lands, but
the war feeling would be there
just the same.
For the young men-the
young, strong, industrious men
who are the pride and the
hope of the farming counties of
the State, would be far away.
Maybe in the deserts of sun
stricken Mexico. Maybe in the
sodden bitches of wet Flanders.
Some of them would be rotting
where they fell, pierced by an
enemy bullet. Some of them
would have faces torn out of all
resemblance to those of human
beings. Some would be armlcss
and lcgless, and some would be
suffering in the eternal night of
the blind.
And everywhere in this land
there would be gray-haired men
silently mourning for their sons,
and wives weeping for their
husbands, and little boys and
girls pitifully inquiring why
daddy did not come back home.
So, you see, war isn't such n
glorious thing when you mag
inc il brought home to you. 1t
is a terrible thing; n blasting
thing; an accurscd thing.
The issue in the present ma
tional campaign, stripped of all
outside matters, is rapidly get
ting down to this simple ques-
ton: "Shall we continue to
have peace and prosperity with
Wilson, or shall we take
chance on war and sorrow and
want with Hughes? Shall we
stick to Wilson, whom we know,
or turn to Hughes, the great
enigma?
We believe the answer from
the farms, as well as from the
shops and the factories. will be:
WE WANT WILSON AND
PEACE"

MUCH DRUNKENNESS EXPECT
ED IN VIRGINIA.

The prediction has been made that
there will be much drinking and
drunkenness in the State for a while
owing to the fact that large quanti-
ties of liquors have been stored in
view of the closing of the saloons.
Having quantity on hand the temp
tation to "touch" It often will be
great. However, the supply cannot
last long. There will be less "treat-
ing" now. Drinking men will be less
free with their treats. Every good
citizen ofthe State will do what he
can now to see that the prohibit
ton law shall be faithfully execut-
ed to the letter, and perhaps the
hardest part of the fight against the
liquor traffic is to come.

president CONTINUES TO
GAIN
(Richmond Virginian.)

These are the encouraging words
employed by the New York Herald in
it's headlines to show the drift of SEN
timent in the presidential campaign,
as indicated bv the nation wide straw
vote being taken by that paper There
is no doubt that the tide of senti-
ment is running steadily and strongly
toward Wilson. The Herald says:
During the week the Presi-
dent made gains, large and small
in eighteen States. Mr.. Hughes
made gains in eight. There were
no important changes in the
totals from nine states. In New
York city the President gained.
Upstate Mr.. Hughes made adj
vances"
Further, the Herald adds:
"If the tide continues to run
in the Presidents direction Mt
the same speed that has marked
it during the last three weeks,
Mr.. Wilson will be in fair way
to sweep away the big normal
pluralities upon which the Re-
publicans have relied"
The tide of sentiment is flowing
wilson's way and it is not believed
that it can now be changed. 1t is
irresistible and is steadily gaining.
The Herald recognizes this, for it says
editorially:
"That there has been remark
able switching of votes, in some
States an almost complete sweep
ing away from the old mornings
is freely admitted. 1t is also
admitted, even by Republican
leaders, that the trend of the
tide has beentoward Mr.. Wilson.
AT the same time these leaders
express confidence tina the tide
has turned, while, of course, re-
lance is placed in the belief that

even with the tide running his
way, the normal Republican
strength is too great in the de-
Gliding States for Mr.. Wilson to
capture their electoral votes. BY
the same token, Democratic lead
ers are just as confident that the
Wilson trend is so strong that
victory is in sight and all is over
but the voting and the shouting"
The Washington Post sees the light
IN an editorial on "The Drift to vii
son" it says:
when the State of Ohio gives
signs of going to Wilson by
heavy plurality, it is not surpris-
ing that the Republicans are wor-
ried.
when New York wavers in it's
support OF its own son and every
estimate comedies that Wilson is
gaining, there is good reason for
the Republican leaders to re-
double their eleventh hour activ-
tiles.
when Illinois, Wisconsin, In
diana, Connecticut, West Virginia,
New Jersey and Montana are Civ
ing more comfort to the Dem
ocrats than to the Republicans,
and when Arizona, Colorado,
Missouri, Nebraska and Nevada
are practically fixed in the Will
SON column, the trepidiation of
Mr.. Hughes managers can be
we'll understood.
Call everything guesswork, if
you like. Stress the fact that
no one can foretell anything. Yet
no one can honestly shut his ewes
to the visible. Mr.. Wilson has
unquestionablv gained upon Mr..
Hughes during the latter half
of October.
"Seven working days remain
before election day. Anything
may happen, of course, but the
history of previous elections does
not disclose any case in which
the last week Of campaign up-
set all that has gone before, or
even materially altered the trend
of public opinion.
"The palpable drift toward Mr..
Wilson is the outstanding feature
of the late campaign. 1t is the
great, definite fac that confronts
the Republican managers through
out the North. They must meet
and master it this week or it will
defeat them"
