NIGHT SCHOOLS.

The season for the opening of the night schools is at hand. Such insti- tutions were started for the purpose of giving educational facilities to those who had either been deprived of them, for one reason or another. or those who had failed to take advan- tage of the opportunities which had been afforded them in the past. That is what they are being maintained for, The aim is better citizens and this applies alike to those of the native born as well as those who have been adopted, though the latter class Is much the larger for obvious reasons.
 In support of the slogan America first and America, efficient" it can be appreciated, that the, night school has an important part to play. Every non- English speaking immigrant is there provided with an opportunity to learn the language Of America. He is given a chance to get better acquaint- ed with American principles and American institutions, and whatever help he secures tends So much to make him better citizen. The dis polling Of ignorance is always to be encouraged and as an auxiliary to our compulsory school attendance laws, the night school is a most valuable provision.
 Thus the importance of taking ad- vantage of such an opportunity can not be wisely overlooked. and those who are in need of it's help ought not to require any urging to do their part in getting the benefit of the facilities offered

POLITICAL
The Tariff and Labor.

A large part of the Republican cam paign argument is directed against the Underwood tariff. which is assert ed to be detrimental to the interests of labor by encouraging imports and thus providing men in other countries with work and wages which might be done and paid in this country.
 In order to test the accuracy of this argument it is necessary to consider imports of finished manufactures apart from imports of raw materials since the working up of the latter pro Vides employment here and when the materials are not produced in this country their importation does not de- crease demand for American labor but provides that demand.
 familiar illustration is rubber which is hardly produced at all under basis of employment for many thous- ands of workers. Textile nanufac- lures and chemicals, on the other hand, when imported in finished state, provide work and wages in the country or origin which might have been done and paid here.
 NOW the report of the Department of Commerce for the fiscal year end- ed June 30 shows that imports of chemicals and dyes and finished man. ufactureS Of. cotton, wool, silk and other fbers increased in value from 9Zoo, ,5Vo,VuO in I9l5 to $399, 392 O00 in the last fiscal year The difference largely represents a wage bill paid to foreign labor, which under a diff ferent tariff might have been paid tC American labor.
 Whether it would be to the advant- age of the nation as whole to have a tariff which might divert this $100,- 100000 or so from foreign workers tc Americans it is each voters privilege to decide for himself The broad facts are here presented for the benefit o1 large number of voters who are think. ing about the subject.-Chicago Her aid.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Kaiser Visits the Front.

There never was a time when so little was known of the Kaiser s movements as at present. When he decides upon a trip to some point on the front; it is kept as secret as pos sible, and if ever reproted in the Ger man press is delayed until the royal visitor is far away-perhaps on the other side of the empire. It is be- 1ieved Emperor William visits the front more frequently than any other ruler.
 Recently correspondents visiting the southern section of the Somme front did not learn until well past midnight that the emperor at nine o'clock or the morning of the day just breaking would review as many of the troops as could be assembled at a, point 8 few miles back from the fighting but still within sound of the guns. - The correspondents were on hand before the appointed time-and had a chance to see some manoeuvring that would have done credit to first line troops in peace time. On the dot of nine the companies drew up in par ade formation on a broad level ground that was formerly a backyard of an ancient chateau. They formed three sides of square, at one end ot which was a military band, and in the center the officers.
 Half an hour later the apointed time the Kaiser arrived in a lean, gray automobile. He sprang from the cal with the vigor of a young man He wore the helmet of a general of in- fantry, but the tall boots, coming in front high above the knee, of @ cuir- rasier. He cast from his shoulders the long gray cape with a fur collar in which he is shown in his favorite pictures, and with a stride of lons steps lifting each foot high from the ground, His Majesty walked toward that end of the formation where the band stood. His standard bearers who always walk behind with his flag had their work cut out for them as he strode ahead. At first he paused just moment, greeted the general in com mand, bowed and saiuted to other of ficers, and then turned down the line
 He walked as one attempting to gC through a deWry pasture and stiF keep ones feet reasonably dry, witt great high steps.
 After making the rounds of three sides of the square the emperor turn ed and strode to the center to cha with the various high officers gath | cred there, and then began to pin or. chosen few.
 It was oEly at the conclusion O. this ceremony that correspondents standing at Q little distance had { chance to see His Majesty at close range, and to get a good look at hi; scanned and lined, but strong, healthy vigorous face.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The White. EIaa and White Eea

The White. Flag and White Feathers.
 MT. Editor: There doesn't seem to be much room for argument in the present campaign.
 Woodrow Wilson, present command n-chief, is too fond of the white flag and white feathers, while the American people stand for the Ameri- can flag and efficiency and must have them.
 The presidents collection of white feathers consists of two representing invasions of Mexico and withdrawals with a loss of 500 n1an, and nothing to show for it-net even the saluting of the American lag. r
 He also has several beautiful Ger man white feathers, to say nothing, of German white feathers collected from the German propaganda carried on in our own country in violation of law and decency.
 He has several British white feath- CTS; and since the small neutral pow CTS protested against the invasion of Belgium and the spiriting away by the Germans Of 25 900 young women between the ages of IS and 25, and he did not speak i'll the interest of hu- manity and justice, he has two more white feathers to his credit
 We do not want war, but peace at the price he is willing to pay for it is coWardice--a crime, not a. virtue The people of America do not want President Wilson to be shaking his admonitory finger at foreign foes while they laugh-it were better he pointed it at students who writhe and weep. His finger and his ferule have taken the dignity out of the position he occupies.

RAILROAD CROSSING ACCIDENTS

Down in the state of Pennsylvania the report of the investigator for the public service commission shows that there were 161 people killed and 357 injured in grade crossing accidents during the year ending with the month of June. That is the toll which is exacted for the failure on the part of the people who use the highways to respect the dangers which exist there on. The price that is paid for failure to "stOp. look and listen" is nigh, but how conspicuous part negligence plays in that connection is indicated by the fact, as the report says, that 8 large number of the accidents oc- cured while the gates were down. Thus guarded or unguarded there are those who have no regard for the safety of themselves or those who may be with them and no respect for the efforts which are made to call their attention to grade crossing per- Us.
 In Pennsylvania, as well as in other states-and Connecticut is no excep- tion-it is fully recognized that the only sure means of preventing this great waste of life each year is to eliminate the crossings. Such, never the1ess, involves great 'outlays. 1t be- ing estimated that it would cost a bil- lion dollars to do the work in Penn 'sylvania, and while progress is being made to such an end 1t is necessarily slow. It is matter, however, in which there should be personal in .terest taken by every user of the high ways, and it can be readily appre- ciated that ifsthis was done and due iconsideratfon given to safety that there would be alarge annual decrease in the number of lives sacrificed in trying to dispute sthe way with loco- motive. ~.s2-,.s...
