New Hampshire for Weeks.

The haste and jubilation with
which certain interests spread the al
legged declaration Of National Com
Estabrook Of New Hamp-
shire, that the Granite State does
not favor the presidential candidacy
of Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,.
was significant. But the furry was
short-lived, fof Senator Gallinger
promptly said:
"Mr. Estabrook's statement is err
roneous and entirely misrepresents the
sentiments of New Hampshire. Sena-
tor Weeks has the full support Of New
Hampshire and is her only candidate
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation"
If there is anyone in the United
States who understands New Hamp-
shire people and their sentiments any
better than DR.. Gallinger he must be
worth looking at. The assurance of
other members of the New Hampshire
delegation that DR.. Gallinger is right,
was hardly necessary.

which is being developed and extended by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, is receiving the hearty approval
Of our leading bankers and statesmen,
and has been made a part of the school
system of several states, and is being
earnestly advocated in some others. 1t
is safe to say that ere long it will meet
with the success which its authors pre-
dicted. Surely, if the postal> savings
banks, with their very low rate Of but
2 per cent. interest, can accumulate so
many millions of deposits since their es-
tablishment, the school savings banks
ought to be doubly attractive. with their
dividends of per cent, and the invest
ment is probably safe. Any safe propo-
sition that guarantees an increased re-
turn of 100 per cent. ought to appeal to
everyone Of average business sagacity.

AS an aid to the solution Of the I'M
employment problem In the West
chambers of commerce are endeavor-
ing to induce logging companies to
build logging roads for many months
In advance Of their needs, thus giving
work to many men who are In want.
In the case Of logging companies
which have no funds. because Of the
great depression in the lumber indus
try during the past two years. 1t is
proposed to aid those that are solvent
to borrow money at a low rate Of in
terest, provided the money thus sup
piled shall be expended on pay rolls.
This effort to relieve distress has
much to commend 1t. II successful, it
will not only prepare the way for
prompt activity in the lumber bust
ness when active demand for lumber
shall be restored, but will give liv-
ing wage. although low, to many who
are now without any employment at
all. In the matter Of funds, it might
be possible to secure aid from the
treasury department, as was done in
the case of cotton growers. The lum-
Der industry will eventually revive
and loans to lumber concerns may be
considered reasonably safe.

The honors Of the first round in the
WILSON, Bryan fight go to the Com
moner. Wilson's plan to pay for pre-
paredness in part by a tax on inter-
national combustion engines Is to be
thrown into the discards by a Demo
cratic Congress. Bryan and the en-
battled farmers who use autos, trac-
tors. power churns, threshers and
other farm machinery have made so
much Of a row that that particular di-
rect tax is not to be attempted. What
will take it's place? Probably another
burden for the business man in the
form Of new stamp taxes. The bust
ness men have not a Bryan to plead
their cause and to arouse them to ac-
ton. And deserving Democrats
must raise some money!

administration recalls the story of a
merchant whose affairs were being

them not having heard of him for

failed for a million dollars"

Greed Above and Below.

George p. West Of the American
Federation of Labor committee on in
dustrial relations, blames the steel
trust for the riots at Youngstown, o..
riots. His report is interesting and
gives new insight into some of the
ramifications of Americas greatest
problem. He says:
Not only are the homes of the
workers overcrowded but they are
surrounded by piles Of exposed garb-
age. Indescribably filthy are the
yards. streets, and alleys adjoining
them, in which the children Of the
workers play.
In East youngstown there are 5000
Inhabitants and but $50 voters. The
city administration is controlled by
the saloon interests, represented by
twenty-five saloons. In the adulter-
ated rum and whisky sold in these
places the steel workers found their
only escape from hideous reality.
There Is not church in the town.
1t is significant that most Of the
articles taken from the looted stores
were such as could be utilized in the
every day processes Of living. The
strikers took meat, groceries, cloth.
children's shoes, as we'll as whisky
and jewelry."
Not a church in a town of 5000 in
hahitants!
Are you surprised that saloons con-
troll, or that the people are easily
aroused to the rioting stage?
Only $50 voters and % legalized
damnation dispensaries!
Why shouldn't the saloons control?
And is it an amazing thing that few
IL any children growing to maturity
in such an unholy environment
can escape the demand Of the rum
trust for drinkers?
Up in Maine the tools Of the liquor
interests daily tell US that adulterated
poison is a product only Of prohibi-
ton Can it be that this investigator
has told the truth about the rum trust
booze sold to the slaves Of another
great commercial oligarchy?
Only this glimpse of the facts in a
license state reinforces our conclu-
sion that even the product Of Official
perfidy in certain sections Of Maine is
morally sweet as compared with the
average where greed promotes lust
and Old Nick Is dictator.

1iah Cost Of Living 10 Higher.

V10n cow OF Living - V'9"S''
The New York Annalist index num-
Der showing the average wholesale
price Of rs food commodities SELECTED
and arranged to represent theoreti-
cal family's food budget. tipped the
beam at 1891 for the week ending
December e., 1915, compared with
1909 for the week ending December
q, 1918, after the Democratic tariff
law had been in effect less than three
months. The index number for the
wear 1913. nine months Of which was
under the Republican protective tarin'
was 1888. For the year 1914, under
the Democratic low duty law, 1t was
1867.
The amount of food products which
have entered this country under the
Democratic law, during the last two
years is greater than ever before In
the history of the United States. and
the bulk Of them have not paid cent
Of revenue to the government. The
campaiRn issue Of the Democrats in
1912 was the high cost of living, which
was blamed to the Republican pro-
tective tariff. Their free trade law
has not reduced the cost of living. On
the contrary the cost Of living has in
creased But the United States Treas
ury is a pitiful wreck which Secretary
McAdoo strives hopelessly to float by
means Of inflated daily statements
The Democratic tariff law has done
not one thing for the good Of the
country, but it has raised hob with
business, labor, and the government
revenues.
If the high cost of living issue was
good enough to seat Democracy, it
should be good enough to defeat
Democracy, inasmuch as every pre-
tense of the last campaign has failed.
Let us forget the Mexican shame,
and other "watchful waiting policies
Let US overlook the "molasses to catch
flies'' one term pretense, and the
about-face upon SO many other issues
of importance. and allow Democracy
to go before the country on it's "HiGH
COST OF LIVING" claims, alone
What would be the country's answer
do you think? What would be your
answer?
Here is all the meat in the nut:
The high cost of living" of which
Democracy promised to relieve the
country, is higher. And to the high
cost Of living has been added hundreds
Of millions Of dollars in direct taxes.
Should not the Wilson war tax"
be added to the high cost of living? Is
there any need Of discussing the tariff,
or Mexico, or preparedness, to show
the place Of DEMOCRACY in the affec-
tions Of all the people?
