HUGHES PLAYED
 FOR CATERING
 TO THE HYPHEN
Regulates Campaign to At
 tract Pro-German Vote.

New York, Oct 3-Commenting on President Wilson's reply to the insult ing telegram of Jeremiah O'Leary, president of the so-called American Truth Society, the New York Times editorially says:
 ''At what time will Charles P. Hughes send such a message to the disloyal Americans who will cheer him when he utters his careful platitudes, who assure each other that he is with them in their attempt to run up an alien flag over the Star and Stripes, who are preparing to insult him with their votes? The message Woodrow Wilson sent was in answer to an 1n- sulting one, but no hyphenate, no dis loyal American, has ever insulted Woodrow Wilson as they have all, without exception insulted Charles E. Hughes. They have been telling the country that he was with them, that as President he would be their instru- ment and that of their foreign ruler, and that by the election of such man they would rebuke Woodrow Wilson for defending American rights. The telegram this man sent to MT. Wilson was only impertinence; the message he and all his kind have been daily delivering to MT. Hughes is deep and terrible insult which Americans have been vainly waiting for him to rebuke. The rebuke does not come; and still Americans will hope against hope that the insult is not, after all, deserved
 The New York World says:-"The German drive against the President is the most sinister development of American political fire since secession. Germany will interpret a Hughes vic tory as German victory, and that no Administration can survive except as it is subservient to the German vote"
 The Springfield Republican says:- "Mr. Hughes has regulated his cam paign utterances so as to be the bene- ficiary of the punishment which a pestilent hyphenism plans to inflict upon an American president. Is the decisive force in this campaign to be a fantastic merger of hates?"

under Democratic Administration in- dustrial dividends are earned by fair prices at home and enormous surplus exports abroad.
 Take note of this-There is not single product of American mills and factories that is not sold abroad today under Democratic Administra- ton at prices 10 per cent. to 50 per cent. above the American price level, whereas under the Republican Ad- ministratiqn there was scarcely a pro- duct tariff beneficiaries did not charge American consumers 10 per cent. to 50 per cent. more than they sold the same goods for abroad.
 American consumers are saved the $2, 100000 of annual tariff rob- berries for the benefit of the favored few; while at the same time American workingmen receive 10 per cent. to 40 per cent. higher pay than they received under the Republican system of trust protection.

MOTHER RLOvE AIDS| SON IN TRENCHES
It Brings Relief To Boy
 Standing His Watch Deep in Mud.


 Once upon time, only few months after this terrible world war had begun, Private Bailey. soldier in the ranks had stood for days in the trenches somewhere in France" The cold rains soaked him to the skin;
 the mud was deep. He had had no rest. Weary and aching with rheu- matic palms, he recalled the faith his mother had in Sloan's Liniment. He asked for it in his next letter home. A large bottle was immediately sent him and few applications killed the pain, once more he was able to stand the severe exposure. He shared this wonderful muscle-soother with his comrades, and they all agreed it was the greatest reinforcement that had ever come to their rescue. At your druggist, 25c, soc and $1.OO a bottle.

 What is known as to the ago of Lon don?
 London was probably an ancient British town. It appears to have been resettled by the Romans about 43 A. D., and Londinum (cnlled also Angus ta) was the capital of Britannia in the last part of the Roman period. After the departure of the Romans (about 412) and in the early Saxon period its history is obscure, though there were bishops of London from the seventh century. It was plundered by the Danes and rebuilt by Alfred and Atte- istan. By the fourteenth century it's commerce had greatly developed. It was scourged by the plague in 1865 and was almost entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1866. A financial panic happened in 1720, and tue "No pop cry" riots in 17SO.
 Will you please tell mo what the va rioas wars of the United StateS cost the country?
 In the Revolution 231,771 regulars and 164,OS7 militia and volunteers were engaged, and the cost was $37O,- 100000, and s7o,Oo0,0oO in pensions.
 In the war of 1872 we had 56,O32 regulars and All, ,622 militia. The cost was $S2, ,627 ,OoO, and $45, sos, ,676 in pen sions.
 In the Mexican war 31 ,024 regulars and 73,582 militia were required to conquer about 46,OOO Mexicans at cost of $SS,5OO,2 POS, and the pensions have amounted to nearly $5O,O0OOOO.
 In the civil war the United States employed no fewer than 67,O00 regu- lars and 2,GO5,347 militia and volun- teers. This war is estimated to have cost the fabulous sum of $5,371 ,079, ,74S.
 The Spanish-American war compell- ed us to use 5S,68S regulars and 223, ,235 militia or volunteers at a cost of $321,- S33,2 ,254; while 76,416 regulars and 5O,- O52 volunteers were used in the Philip pines at cost of $171 ,326,572.

 am told that railroad building in China is likely to be interfered with by the European war, and it is likely that the old canals will be restored. Can you tell mo what canals are meant7
 In the great plain of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers there are not less than 6O,OOO miles of canals, which also serve for irrigation and drainage and flood control. The ancient Grand canal extends from Hangchow to Tientsin, traversing in its course the province of Chekiang, Kiangsu, Shan tung and Chilli. Its total length ia about $50 miles. In making the sys- tenn a gigantic engineering scheme was carried out centuries before the Christian era. Great rivers were di- verted from their courses, the waters of one turned into anothers bed be- low the site of a great weir used to turn that rivers water into the main canal Not only was the waterway for inland transportation carried along in the direction of desired traffic, but the ancient Chinese worked out thor oughly the means by which freshets and great seasonal floods could be handled to advantage in clearing the channels to the sea. The Chinese have had engineers examining the system, and they find that it will be much cheaper to make them usable than to build an equivalent mileage of rail- ways.
