for the democratic candidates. Evil
IDENTIFY he asked in vain, for the repub-
licans swept the deck, including a con-
gressiOnal district where the labor vote
is strong. Organized labor in Maine
voted not on one issue, but on all the
issues in contest between the two par
ties.
What will be the result of Mr.. Com
pers' efforts elsewheres He has been
busy in the campaign since, and will
continue so to the close. He probably
resents the implication, but it is fact
that in the parlance of politics. he is
expected to deliver the labor vote. That
has never been done. Wage -earners, as
other citizens, have always chosen be-
tween the two leading parties on the
general policies PROPOSED They have
lshown on election day spirit and an
ability to decide for themselves each
according to his own judgment, as to
policies affecting not alone their inter
ests but the interests of all. And that
course has led to much of their present
prosperity and power. They could not

Mr.. Gompers in the Campaign.

Speaking in this town last night in
behalf Of Mr. Wilson's candidacy, Sam
uel Gompers said: 81 am of no party"
With all respect, may il not be replied
that in this campaign Mr.. Gompers is
most decidedly of the democratic party?
Indeed, is there a professed and de-
clared democrat anywhere who is ex-
pected 70 deliver TO that party next
month hundredth part as many votes
as Mr.. Gompersi Mr. Wilson's hopes
are eocketed more deeply in him than
in any other one man.
In supporting Mr. Wilson. Mr. Com
pers has in mind particularly the So
called eight hour law; and naturally.
He is credited with large part in the
framing and passing of that measure.
It is the popular belief that he staged
the whole proceedings. He knew the
ground" far better than did the repre-
sentatives of the railway brotherhoods.
As a personal friend of the President,
and familiar as a resident of Washing
ton with congressional proceedings, he
was the very man the brotherhoods
needed for guide, philosopher and
friend; and he filled that role. Why,
then, should not Mr. Gompers think well
of the work of his hands, and feel CRATE
fnl to the President for the latter's con
tribution to the successful maneuver7
The leading point of present interest,
however, is this: To what extent will
Mr.. Gompers be able to impress his
views of this business on organized
Abor? he tried his strength. but failed
in Maine. The law was hot from the
gfiddie then. Congress had hardly low

False Alarms.

In his annual report, Chief Wagner
of the fire department notes the fact
| that during the past year there were 100
| false alarms, an increase of "a over the
year previous. OF these 130 eases CON
victions were received in court in only
4, owing to the difficulty of detecting the
| misdemeanants and securing evidence
against them. These I30 false alarms
constitute serious menace to the safety
of every member of the community.
Every time the fire apparatus is sum-
moned on useless errand it is taken
out of service. Not only do these un
necessary runs entail a cost upon the
department.. especially in the case of
motor apparatus, which consumes fuel
every time it leaves the house, but they
leave property in the district of
the false alarm exposed during the
absence of the apparatus from its
station. The aggregate time wasted
by the FIRE companies in respond
ing to and returning from the $50 false
alarms of last year represents a posi-
tive peril to life and property. Under
the police regulations covering this of
fense any person found guilty of send
ing in a false alarm may be fined as
high as 800, OF sent to the workhOuse
for six months. or both The Police
Court should adopt the fixed policy of
imposing the maximum penalty, prefer
ably imprisonment, in every case Of con
viction. Only by the assurance that de
lection in the act of turning in false |
alarm means term at Occoquan, with |
perhaps heavy fine in addition, will !
this mischievous practice be checked. |
Probably many of the 130 false alarms |
were turned in by the same persons, who !
may be expected to continue their in
diligence in this peculiar and danger
Gus habit until caught. A special un-
uniformed patrol around the boxes from
which these alarms are most frequently |
sounded might effect the detection of !!
these people.

Hughes and Hecklers.

Mr.. hughes as a stunipe, stands heck

this campaign came at Nashville, and
. he met If in way that aroused the ad
miration even of the hccklers. He com
pleteiy defeated IA movement to break

terms so clear and direct his audience

At one Of his meetings in West Viz
ginia the other day Mr.. Hughes was
interrogated about 4 decision of the Su
preme Court rendered while he was a
member of that tribunal. and his an
swer put the qucstioncr to confusion
There was no other interruption.
At Louisville Thursday night hecklers
were in evidence. but did not score In
fact, they were indebted to the man
they had come to embarrass for the
privilege of playing their little game.
The audience wanted to squelch them;
but Mr.. Hughes gave them chance
and then squclehed them himself. great
ly to the appreciation of the audience.
This is an uncommon faculty Even
trained stumpers-vetcrans, who have
appeared before all sorts and conditions
of audiences, and had opportunity to
study men and methods of nagging a
speaker-are often confused under fire,
and worsted Such interruptions are am
buscades; and an ambuseade is neces-
sarny startling. 1t affects the nerves.
and the average orator when in action is
bundle of nerves If thrown 'off cen
ter" he requires little time to re-
cover.
Mr. Hughes success is due in part
probably to the fact that he is not an
orator. He Is not bundle of nerves,
but a man of compOsure accustomed to
investigating and explaining subjects.
When he takes the stand to speak it is
not for the purpose of dazzling his
hearers with studied actions or enchant-
ing them with rich phrases. but only to
deliver message in manner and terms
suitable to popular occasion. So that
he is never off his guards never
caught in the midst of a mere display
of gesture and language. and therefore
at a disadvantage.
Hecklers are not all of one kind.
There are hecklers who ask their own
questions, and know their subjects. But
there are others-noisy fellows pos
sessed only of impudenee-who are
primed for their work by trained hands
The latter, it is hardly necessary to say,
are easily disposed of.

Public Library Needs.

Convincing figures as to the increas-
ing usefulness of the Public Library are
given by Librarian Bowerman in his
annual report A growth of over 1900
volumes in home circulation, making a
gain of 96 per cent, alone shows the
greater value of the book collection to
the people. At the close Of the fiscal
year there were 49,44s registered card
holders. very large percentage of the
Districts population. In every depart
ment of the library's usefulness there
was large development.
In view of the conditions at the
library, with every branch of it increas-
ing in usefulness year by year, there is
reason to look for adequate appropria-

sioners recommend. Indeed. it is GER
tain that with larger funds for service
for books, binding and other needs the
library would be able to meet the re-
quirements of larger number of peo-
pie and to extend its usefulness.

which the coming peace will be con
strueted. Thereupon Count Westarp,
conservative leader. declared that what
Germany has conquered it will hold, "as
long as necessary in order to assure the
future of the German nation"
There can be little question that if
Count Wcstarp's view prevails i'll the
high German councils the war will con-
tinue as long as the allies have any
strength left, for nothing is palmer to-
day than that there will be no peace,
short of complete German victory, on
the basis of what Chancellor Won Beth
war map of today In all the express
sions of French and British leaders there
runs the thought. which apparently is ap-
proved by their people. that there must
be a decisive peace. A peace arranged
on the basis of Count Westarp's declara-
ton would be a tremendous defeat for
the allied powers. a peace arranged on
the basis of Seheidemann might be con
strued as a draw. That the allied pow

losses to Germany and naval restrictions
