Washington. a friend of the presiden-

oughbred collie dog to the White

The President was delighted, for he

critically inspected the dog and the
President played with and petted him
for several minutes. They accepted
the collie as a gift TO take with them
to Shadow Lawn.
Last night the dog developed hypro-
phobia and was killed.
The President sent word from
Shadow Lawn TO Mr.. Lawrence, telling
him not TO worry, that no harm had
resulted, and that II was an incident
for which no one was to blame.
President Wilson has number OF
fine bulldogs and several OF other
thoroughbred types. He is an expert

SAYS WILSON
UTTERANCES CLASH
Declares Three Statements of
Economic Policies Are Ab-
soIuteIy lrreconciIabIe.

That President Wilson. in the last few
days, has given utterahce to three eco
nomic policies that are absolutely ire
concilable, is asserted by former Sena-
tor Jonathan Bourne, jr., head of the
Republican Publicity Association. Sem
ator Bourne says
I'm the last few days President Will
son has given utterance to three econ
omic policies that are absolutely ir-
reconcllable.
He asserted that American produc-
ers should compete on even terms
with the. producers of all the rest of
the world.
He advocated the eight-hour day.
He opposed a protective tariff.
IF the American workman is to have
an eight-hour day and no protective
tariff, how can ne possibly be 'on even
terms with she foreign producer who
works ten or twelve or even longer
hours?
'If the American workman is to be
placed on even terms with the for
eigner, he must work nearly the same
number of hours and adopt practically
the same standards of living. While II
is true that a man working eight hours
will produce more per hour than the
man who works twelve, II Is utterly
impossible that American workmen
laboring eight hours at high wages can
produce commodities as cheaply as
Chinese Iaborers working twelve hours
at wages which would scarcely buy
even the butter for the American
table"

supply, unless something is done TO
protect this community.
OF all the cities in which this milk
problem has precipitated crises,
Washington is the only one in which
a serious constructing proposal has
been advanced to protect the con-
sumner from a higher price. The
Milk Producers Association here
has declared its confident belief that
a municipal dairy would effect such
economies that the producer could
be given a living price, without
necessity to advance the consumers
price. That would be an accom-
plishment worth while, a lesson to
other cities, and to the whole coun-
try. II should be made possible, and
that as soon as may be.

THE HEROES OF THE MERCHANT
SHIPS

The commander Of one vessel sunk
of Nantucket lost, in that expert
ence, the third ship that has been
torpedoed under him since the war
began. He got his ships company
overheard, and all Of them were
rescued. Asked for an expression
about the experience, he retorted:
"What do I care, for a few sub
marines?"
The heroes of the worlds emer-
chant fleets, who have calmly gone
on sailing the seas while knowing
that any hour might bring the
deadly torpedo from the concealed
submarine have not had their need
submarine, have not had their need
lions, for neutrals as well as bel
ligerents have been the targets for
these attacks. A new and peculiarly
unnerving danger has been added to
the list that must be faced by them

but where is the sailor, whether
officer or stout seaman, that has
deserted his place because Of this
new menace?

CROPS FURTHER PARED DOWN

The Department Of Agriculture
crop report on conditions as Of 0cto-
Der 1 shows q continuance Of un-
favorable showings. 1t Is now
calculated that the winter wheat
outturn Of the country will be IT,
$50, 900 bushels; which is $4,000, 900
under the crop of last year. While
last years was a record-breaker, and
while the world as whole had large
crops last year, we know now that
the world has greatly decreased
yields in most countries this season.
The wheat this year is Of very
poor quality; the measured bushel
weighs an average Of only 51.4
pounds, while year ago It weighed
57.5 pounds,
The greatest Of all crop disasters
this year is that suffered by wheat.
In corn there is promise Of 2,717,-
000,0 bushels, loss Of 1886, 000, 900
from a year ago. Oats indicate a
loss Of 81 900, 900. bushels, or about
~ per cent, from last years crop.
There will be 300 100000 bushels Of
potatoes, or $4,000, 900 less than in
1915.
The Washington times., 1916-10-10
BALTIMORE'S MILK PRICE
RAISED

The milk producers who supply
Baltimore have carried their point,
In getting an advance Of 2 cents per
gallon for the milk shipped to that
city. In announcing the advance Of
price to the producer, the dealers
also announce higher price to the
consumer. Two cents per gallon
means half cent per quart; and the
|price of milk to the consumer is
raised from a basis of cents a
quart and cents pint, to on cents
% quart and 51s cents a pint.
Washington's milk producers will
have to get more money for their
milk, or else they will be out of line
with producers for other markets.
The tendency, for example, will be
for a considerable producing terri
tory tributary to Washington, which
is also convenient to Baltimore, to
ship to the latter city when the
price is higher there. So Washing
ton will confront the prospect not
only of higher prices, but Of short

JUDGE LovETT FOR WILSON

What is this about Judge Robert
s. Lovett, president Of the Union
Pacific system, declaring in favor
Of Wilson, and insisting that it is
to the interest of business that the
President be reelected 1t seems
that Judge Lovett, who had proved
himself great lawyer before he be-
came a great railroad executive, and
who therefore must be q malefactor
of the sort whose support would
greatly mortify Mr.. Wilson, is act
ually insisting on voting for the
President, and advising other folks
to do so.
The railroad president vote is not
a very large one in this country.
From the Democratic point Of view,
it is always to be accounted a
liability, not an asset. Broadly
speaking, the Republicans usually
have to bear the handicap of having
the support Of the great majority of
such undesirables. The best the
Democratsscan hope is that railroad
presidents and such may go unan-
imously Republican, so that there
may be no doubt of Republican de-
votion to all the ideals of plutocracy.
1t is thoroughly inconsiderate of
Judge Lovett thus to smash the
Democratic arrangement. His one
vote is nothing as compared to the
myriads that will surely lose con-
fidence in Wilson as soon as they
discover him in such society.
Judge Lovett, to be Of real service
to his friend, should have denounced
Wilson as the enemy Of railroads, Of
capital, of all things respectable and
substantial. Or, If he didn't want to
60 so far, he should have quietly
voted for Wilson Z 4 suppressed
the fact. That wouldn't have done
any harm at all. But to come along
with a public announcement that
he is for Wilson, is enough to wreck
the whole populistic basis of the
party.
