1T is not a political, but a great
business proposition that confronts the
American people at this time" said
Congressman Will r. Wood of Indiana
just before leaving the Capitol. Every
voter in this country who wants to see
American mills and factories running,
who desires that American labor
should be employed at good wages,
must turn to the Republican party.
When the European war is over and
this fictitious prosperity bursts like a
bubble, it is only the great policy of
protection that stands between the
American people and industrial ruin.
Never was the duty of the voter so
plain and never was it so essential.
The Republican party is his only
hope"

Waterville, Maine, Sept. %, 1916.
Editor Kennebec Journal
If the demand of the brotherhoods OF
railway employees for an eight hour
day actually meant what it implies,
there would probably be no question
as to the justice Of granting 1t. But
as a. matter Of fact, it does not. What
it does mean Is this-ONE HUNDRED
MILES OF TRAIN TRAVEL OR
THAT FRACTION OF A HUNDRED
MILES COVERED IN EIGHT
HOURS.
Fast freight trains frequently cover
their divisions in shorter time than ex-
press passenger trains. They may and
do travel one hundred miles In three
hours or less. This constitutes a days
run for the crew and entities them to
a full days pay.
Slow running. delayed, heavy trains
may and occasionally do consume 16
hours in covering one hundred miles
but the man who can solve that traffic
problem is worth more at headquarters
than he is in an. engine cab.
Speaking of unions, Hon. Charles E.
Hughes puts it about right-"We all
belong to the 'Union'-the union of
the United States Of America-and we
all have equal rights"

Another Blind Crossing Accident.

Another blind crossing accident.
Three people pay with their lives for
Names failure to provide effective
warning where railways and highways
cross Carelessness Of course figured,
but a signal such as the Kennebec
Journal has long advocated would
have warned even negligent automo-
bile driver that train was at hand.
A year ago the Kennebec Journal
repeatedly urged the establishment, at
least at blind" crossings, of block sig
nails, far enough back from the railway
tracks on the highway to give ample
time to stop any sort of team or motor
driven vehicle. We We're assured at
that time by railway experts that the
idea was practical and feasible and
could be installed at small expense by
the railroads because they already
have the block signal system. We also
received assurances that the railroads
were ready to install such a system at
all crossings when the best method
had been decided upon.
Since that time cur news columns
have recorded several accidents, the
latest at Enfield, Me. on Sunday, Sept.
"a. when three lives were lost and
other people injured.
Shall we feel that these three lives
are IN part payment for dilly-dallying
and indecision on the part Of some
one?
The Kennebec Journal has all along
advocated the throwing of a red sig
nal, night or day, while the approach
;-g train is at least 1000 yards away,
preferably COCO Such signal is uni
versally recognized as danger warn
ing. Several methods are in vogue but
eny of them is effective. We are told
that others favor the ringing of a
z bell. or other means of attracting at
:ention to sign: Train Coming
Stop
We Go not propose to quarrel with
snybody's method that is good, but we
do wish to inquire: why not go ahead
and establish something, and change
IT if something better is found?"
If a few dollars expended at blind
crossings is worth more than human
life. then another year may be lost in
determining the best" method of
warning.
But in that time we believe that such
things as freight sheds which make
crossings S'blind" should be removed.

The Demand for Food Embargo

New York papers largely display
"a nation wide campaign for an en-
barge on all foodstuffs to safeguard
American consumers who can stand no
further increases in prices" Commis-
sionar Hartigan of the Bureau of
Weights and Measures Is quoted:
by the time Congress meets in De-
cember millions OF names will be sign
ed to petitions for the embargo upon
eatables. The present situation as re-
CARDS high prices is very serious, but
the outlook is even more critical.
Except those who have studied the
wheat situation few persons UNDER
stand we are facing a crisis. so far
as that staple is concerned. Reports
received by me today from the De-
partment of Agriculture show we have
only 220.000,000 bushels Of wheat for
consumption in the United States this
year, unless we keep the 3o0.0oo,0o0
bushels destined for export. We need
an average Of 600. 10000 bushels!
I'VE may be without -four by April.
Before then bread may be selling for
20 cents a 10-ounce loaf"
The question which confronts the
people Of this country is 'E1ow long
can tho consumer afford to allow the
producer to feed the forces Of destruc-
ton in Europe?"
With millions Of buyers in this coun-
try. suffering the pinch Of reduced re-
turns Tor their slim earnings. In these
days Of war prosperity" the aggre-
gate is paying dearly for the gain Of
Individuals.
When Europe's millions who are pro-
ducing nothing but misery. who are
eating ahnosmally. and who are de-
stroying moro than they eat. are
obliged to 60 to work or starve. then
tho destructive work will cease and

lies at normal prices.
