Why Labor Is Human"
(New York WOrld)

The discovery by Mr. Hughes at De- troit that the American worl1ingman is a human being woud be more thrill ing if the democratic sixty third con- gress had not seen and proclaimed the fact with President Wilson's ap- proval, on the 18th of October, 1914.
 In the Clayton amendment of the Antitrust Law, which became effec- tive on that date, it is written that the labor of a human being Is not commodity or an article of com- merce." This enactment was made necessary by decision of the supreme court of the United States, of which Mr. Hughes was a member for six years. The law has been truly called 'Iabor's Bill of Rights"
 When that great measure was pending, the party which MT. Hughes represents did not in the main feel about 1t as he does now. Most of it's representatives in Congress denounced the Democrats and President Wilson for "surrendering" to the dema eOgnes. On the passage of the bill in the Sen ate only seven Republicans out of a membership of forty-fve, and in the House only forty-One Republicans out of a m mbership of 127 voted with the Dem Ocrats.
 Some courage was needed to pass the Clayton bill. It corrected many a politician. gave new law to every law yer and reversed the practices of the highest courts. It may seem a little bold for the candidate of a reactiOnary party almost two years after the fact to admit condescendingly that labor is human, but MT. Hughes has law to hack him up. ard the Dom Ocrats, led bv Woodrow Wilson, wrote the law.

SOnglesS New York. (New York Herald.)

If the wise man who said he would rather write the songs of people than make their laws were alive now he would weep over city staggering under the weight of laws, but with cut songs of it's own. For they have all disappeared-thos songs relating to New York, it's people, localities and customs, that were so common here a quarter of a century and more ago.
 The patriotism stirred by the at tack on Fort Sumter was quick to find expression in such ditties as Just Before the Battle, Mother,' ''Rally Round the Flag. Boys,'' 'When This Cruel War is Over" and ''Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!' The spirit of the flash age that followed was truthfully reflected in a song about James Fisk, who "may have done wrong, but he thought he done right, and he always was good to the poor' The period of dullness and quiet that succeeded the panic of 1873 gave opportunity to Dave Braham, than whom no song writer has ever voiced the feelings of New York more accurately or tune fully. His songs were first heard at Harry Clifton's in East Houston street, and later by the Harrigan and Hart company, of which he was musical director. "The Babies on Our Block My Dads Dinner Pail' Paddy Duffys Cart,' ''The Mulligan Guards and a score of others were of the very soil of the older wards of New York.
 Alienists who have studied the iGiOcy of balladry are of opinion that musical degencracy has reached it's lowest possible depths in some of the 5ingles, barren of both wit and melody, Jo yN1o songs that still live in the memory of an elder generation.

WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to tho Herald Office
They Cost the Same.
(Waterbury Democrat.

(Waterbury DemOcrat.)
 Too many mothers accept baby's at tack of summer complaint as an un- avOidable inconvenience of the hot weather. They think baby will be all right in a day or two. So they do not call the doctor but give baby some remedy suggested by the woman next door, who has buried three infants, and who is therefore supposed to be we'll qualified to instruct others In caring for them. Very devoted m mothers often take it for granted that baby's summer sickness will cure itself. But some hot night baby quietly slips out of life And every- body planes the weather. Hot weather, however, is normal in sum- mer. Hot days and sweltering nights may be hard on babies, but most of them will pull through if the milk 1s clean and is properly preserved on ice. It is unclean milk kept in @ warm place which develops the bac- teria which kill off so many infants in July and August. Baby would bet ter miss several feelings than take 8 single teaspOonful of spoiled milk. Many a saving housewife who thinks she cannot afford an icebox is com pelled to find money to pay for a lit tie white coffin. But the icebox Is not a luxury. It is an American habit which pays dividends in health, es- pecially in the health of babies. Only 25.39 per cent of the young children who died of diarrh cal diseases in 1915 were children of American born par ents. Over "A per cent of the infant mortality from this cause were the children of foreign born parents people unacQuainted with the uses of the icebOx. The icebox and the tiny coffin cost about the same price--but, oh, the difference!

Hughes has been asked to give the same amount of publicity to the facts in the case as he did in setting up the false impressions. It is to be Ueplored, however, that the hope is vain. The people who heard his scathing de- nounciation of the administration on this score will be hard to reach with a correction.
 MT. Hughes, of course, is not to blame for getting his facts twisted He is not familiar with what has been done the last four years in the vari- Ous departments of government out side the judiciary. His supporters, his advisors are the ones who must be blamed for giving him false in formation. It is to be deplored, too, that this fact is so for if the candi- date is caught in many more traps like the one in Detroit, if he is called to order from the White House be- cause of actual misrepresentation, his reputation will be seriously injured.
 
 of which he was member will suffer Therein lies the harm. If MT. Hughes unwittingly or to score a point dispen- ses false information now, after his long career, what will people think of the decisions he has handed down as a of the highest tribunal in the country? From now on the Hughes managers should be careful of what is placed before their candi- date. MT. Hughes not having an issue is extremely anxious to find one. It might be a formidable way to get facts; but in the long run truth will win.

Not Germany, But Militarism.
(Philad Inquirer.)

Emperor William has issued a proc lamation to his fighting forces and sent a letter to Chancellor von Beth mann-Hollweg. The occasion Is the second anniversary of the beginning Of the war.
 'The war continues.' he writes to the chancellor, "because the battle cry of the enemy governments is still the destruction of Germany"
 Not so The emperor deceives the people.
 No "enemy government" no neutral country, no man of sanity desires the destruction of Germany, but of that brutal, conscienceless, wicked spirit of rnilitarism represented by the kaiser and the crown prince and their blood thirsty advisers.
 The curse of Germany and of the world is the HohenzOllern rule.
 If the time ever comes when it can be broken Germany will enter upon a splendid future of peace and prosper ity, and the rest of the civilized world will be at rest.

roll. Ungrateful for MT. Hughes sud- den flop to Federal woman suffrage, even Progressive woman suffragists are turning to MT. Wilson.
 If principles mean anything, if the progressive party was anything more than an expression and vehicle of Mr. Roosevelt's political hatreds and a choir to hymn his worship, the mass Of prOgressiVes who believed in 1912 that the republican party was reac uOnary cannot now be herded back into that party unchanged, unrepent- ant, bossed by the same old bosses, de- void of any issue save the noble one Cf 'beatfng Wilson, and getting the offices
 Those progressive men and women who were most earnest in 1912, as they still are, see the progressive and reform legislation accomplished or advocated by MT. Wilson and the dem Ocrats
 They see themselves contemptuous- ly treated as puppets by the master Of the show. They see the railer at bosses trying to boss the party that was all for the rule of the people, calmly Ordering it back to the repub- Ican party. They know that MT. Hughess name is but a cloak of the republican bosses, the same old or ganization against which they revolted fCur years ago. They see sOrrOWfully or bitterly, that MT. Roosevelt has no fondness for being in a minority; that to him the sole remaining use of the progressive party is to serve as his bridge back to republicanism.
 The position of the distinguished prOgressives who have informed Chairman Mccormick of their resolve to vote the democratic ticket the pro- g1 essfve and constructive ticket is en- couraging to dem ocratic prospects A stronger hope is to be found in the undistingushed, silent, and sincere rrogressives who, like them, resent the attempt to deliver the progressives unconsulted and unwilling, to the re- publican party. The Wilson progress sives are strong body, and not in the Far West alone

Where and How to SIeeD.

High-strung nerves, stomach trou- ble, headaches and general i'll health may all result from sleeping under FOOT hygienic conditions. says Dr. Ju- Han Clarke in Farm and Home. It
 makes little difference upon what vo11 sleep provided you are accustomed to that kind of a bed and awake the next day refreshed and fit. But if you would rest well and get most out of your sleep the body should have some preparation before retiring. Too many people tumble into bed with a body truly filthy and a skin very little more active than raw hide. The waxy ma terials from the skin glands become mixed with sweat and dust during the day, and when this mixture becomes dry the pores are closed up and be- come diseased and inactive. Good health cannot continue indefinitely under these conditions, and if the wastes are not properly gotten rid of. the sleep will be restless and ftfuI, A bath of some kind will we'll repay the trouble not only at the time. but in helping to keep the internal organs healthy, because an active skin will do it's share in clearing up the debris of the day just past.
 If you must keep all the other win dows closed tight, for goodness sake open the windows of the bedroom, Night air is dangerous? One would think all air was dangerous, the way most folks shut it out of the house.
 There is every reason. why YOU should keep the bedroom windows open, and except in rare instances there is no reason why they should be closed, even in the coldest winter. If drafts from open windows are objec- tionable, the location of the bed should be changed.
 Unfortunately houses have not been built for comfortable living. Get your windows down from the top in the bedroom, and nail them down so that they cannot be closed. If you cannot live in the fresh air, this world is not the place for you. After you have learned to sleep in the pure air yOu will have flower bodily ailments. The great sacrifice of useful lives to tuher- cUlOsis would not occur if the sleeping rooms had the sash entirely removed l instead of being closed tightly.

public which hardly accords with facts
 of common knowledge. If American
 ism were really staked on the success
 of either of the parties in the coming
 election it would be time to admit that
 the nation was hopelessly a failure
 Sensible people will admit no such
 thing, nor will they admit that the
 5000, 444 or 100000 citizens who
 are sure to support the defeated can-
 didate are, as a body, more or less
 truly Americans than the 6,0O0,000 or
 7,000,000 who will support the rival candidate.
 Americanism is not staked on the success of either MT. Hughes or MT. Wilson. The assumption that either candidate is so important to the coun- try that his defeat must involve the disappearance of all those salient qualities which give country dis tinctive national chara cter is too ah- surd to consider seriously for a mo- ment No party, least of all any in- dividuaI, is now essential to the na- tional life. For the national life, which is often described as American ism, draws it vitality from nearly 150 years of political and social experience, and many millions of men and women in successive generations have poured. their energies into the making of the nation. Ther work has been in vain if today Americanism is staked on po- lttical success of a presidential candi- date or the domination of one politi- cal party.
 Americanism will survive the cleo tion of 1916 regardless of the voters decision. For there is no issue of that can be stated in political terms upon which it were pos sible for the voters to divide. To say' that one party is American and other parties are anti-American would in suit half the population, first of all, and in the end it would compound in suit with folly by advertising America to the world as possessing no national character that could not be imperiled merely by voting one party out and another party in. If we, as Americans, are reduced to so low an estate, then it is time for God to save the republic the people never can.

New Vacation Plan.
(BuffalO Evening News.)

Miss Mary Haggerty, Boston "hello girl" who spends her spare time dabbling in psychology, has ad- vanced a new vacation plan.
 And yet it is not altogether new either, for many men of the male per- suasion have held the same views as the fair telephone operator, but have n ct reduced it to a workable fOrnu- la.
 Miss Haggertys idea is that hus- bands should-if they feel like it have their own vacations.
 And she advances the theory that there is real psychological need why husbands should divorce their wives for that short time when the annual holiday comes around.
 "Without wishing for anybody to think for a, moment that I favor any separation of length,' says Miss Hag- gerty, there can be question that 8 visit to say, her mothers home, for the wife, while her husband is fishing with a boyhood friend, would be for mutual good and pleasure.'
 Tn discussing the matter further she says that psychology teaches us that even the most intimate friends may become tired Of each other if thrown into each others company for long periods of time and that the same is applicable to married folks.
 So the correct thing to do is to sep arate for time and test out the the OrH of 'a bsonCe makes the hea Tt grow fOnder;" for Miss Haggerty feels sure that when hubby returns from that fishing trip and wife from her mothers they will find an added inter- est in each other
 Most married men-who have boy hood friends and love fishing-will subscribe heartily to the postulations of this fair theorist.
 But we are doubtful if it will i'm press the majority of wives, espe- cially those who don't happen to have any mothers.
 And what's the use of rocking the natrim onial boat, anyway?
