Y. M. C. A. WORKING
 AMONG JAPANESE

W. S. Lacy, general secretary of the local Young Mems Christian associa- tion, has just received a report from Ga1en M. Fisher, American National Y M. ~. A. secretary for Japan. The Bridgeport association contributes to- ward the support of the guiding secre- tary, who is helping to institute the ". M. c. A. in the city of Tokio. Japan.
 The following paragraphs are taken from MT. Fishers report: "On my way back I visited Moji, the chief coaling port of the empire. There the head of the government railways of Kyushu, MT. Nagoa, has beaten all records by raising single-handed ST. 800 for a local association building The most surprising point is that non Christians gave nearly all of it. The social rooms and small assembly rpom have already been completed andj are being rented by the Union church-of which MT. Nagao is the father. Tho Moji association itself is still weak and will call for much coaching before it can fully fill the place it ought at the heart of one of Japan's richest in- dustria1 belts. fVE
 have the pleasure also of helping to raise the budget flor Grafton and one other man. For the first time I visited the University of Chicago, where had every opportunity to be- come acquainted with the splendid students and professors who are back ing us even in face of an unreasoning prejudice against Japan. As I said there. even supposing the Japanese government has been guilty of all that her critics charge, doesn't that con- stitute just so much the more com polling a motive for Christianizing the Japanese people lest they become a moral. no less than political, menace to the Orient and the world?
 , Incidentally my visit to Chicago en- ab'Ad me to procure a good principal and lmatron for the Tokio School for Foreign Children. A little later in New York I found another desirable teacher for the same school"
 It is interesting to noto that the work of the Y. M. c. A. secretaries in Japan is not limited to their own work but the Japanese government depends largely on them to procure Christian college men to teach in the various schools of the empire.
 His appearance at the University of Chicago indicates one of the great pos- sible fruits of Americas. effort to plant the Young Mems Christian association in pan by Interpreting to Japan the attitude of America.

 Facts and the candidates own statements, therefore, show that the progress of the Republican party, in recognition of the standing of the farmer, from Grant to Hughes; has been progress backwards!"
 = The Farmers National Congress, of which Dr. Stockbridge Is President, is one of the oldest farmers organiza- tions, with a history of thirty-siX years. It has exercised a potent in- fluence on legislation on behalf of the farmer.
 At its last annual session at Omaha, this organization adopted the follow ing resolution, on Sept. 30. 1915:
 "Resolved-That this congress com mends the foreign policy of President Wilson, while standing at the head of the American nation during one of the most critical and trying periods of it's history. |.
 "Resolved-That we express abso- lute confidence in his courage, patrio- tism and diplomatics ability.
 "Resolved-That we offer him our loyal support in his effort to protect the rights of American citizens and to maintain impartial neutrality"
 This direct and critical rebuttal of the attacks of MT. Hughes on Presi- dent Wilson, coming from the head of so powerful an organization shows that the farmer is not easily fooled by poli- tical buncombe.

PLAZA.

Today for the last times, Dora Dean and her sextet of clever darky folk will present their classy offering of song and dance as the headline attrac- tion on the Plaza's vaudeville pro- gram. Dora Dean is one of variety's most versatile performers and she has an admirable cast in her support. The songs and dances are up-to-the- minute and the act is being greatly enjoyed by the unusually large audiences that witness it's every presentation.
 Carson and Willard have an attrac- tive spot with their comedy skit enti- tied At the Bulletin Board" and the laughs in the act are frequent.
 Jack Sidney and Miss Billie Town1ey are scoring in dainty diversion of song and dance, while Samayoa af- lords his spectators many thrill with his series of daredevil aerial feats.
 Bessie Barriscale is superb as "Or- phint Jane" in the Triangle's latest release, "Plain Jane,' which is shown in five acts. Charles Ray is cast oppo- site Miss Barriscale and the story is constructed upon pretty but quaint romance.

WILSON'S REELECTION
 MEANS REALIZATION OF
 OF HOPES OF THE PEOPLE

John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, has made the following statement:
 For years organized labor contend ed for certain fundamental and reme- dial governmental action to protect. conserve and advance the rights, in terests and welfafe of the working people.
 Under previous Democratic or Re- publican administrations, controlled by Big Business" the rights of the workers were flouted and almost to- tally ignored.
 Under the present administration three of the most important demands of organized labor have been enacted into law: t
 . First, the Clayton Act, which com pels the Federal judges to regard the workers as human beings, and not as property or commodity at the behest of Big Business.
 Second, the Seamens Bill, which ended the last vestige of human slavery which was tolerated by the United States. Human beings employed in marine and seafaring are no longer re- garded as property or used as slaves.
 Third, the Child Labor Bill, which is the first plank in the preparedness program of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and which has been urged upon our lawmakers all these years without success.
 "The administratin that successfully handled the most vital affairs of this republic, while a great crisis has con- fronted the European nations, and has successfully proceeded in reconstruct ing its own foundations. so that this will be a republic in reality, as shown by the enactments of these three great measures as shown by the enactments of these three measures, must and surely is deeply imbedded in the hearts of all loyal and liberty loving citizens. Just so sure may be that President Wilson's reelection means the realiza- ton of the hopes for the future of the common people. and is the only hope for the establishment and perpetua- ton of nation of free men and John Fitzpatrick, Chicago, Aug. 20.

THIS POINTS A MORAL
In Connection With Federal Farm
 Loan Act.

The Federal Farm Loan act has been passed. and Farm and Preside tells an interesting story about some of the evils which made such an act necessary for the protection of the farmer. It says:
 Here's a little story about one farmers experience in borrowing money that may point moral in con- nection with the passage of the Fed eral Farm Loan act:
 ''His farm was worth comfortably $25,000, and was carrying an incum- brance of $5,00O on real estate. He had perhaps $10,000 worth of stock. crops, personal property, and excel lent general credit. He decided to borrow $3.0O0 more to make improve ments that would immediately add largely to the earning power of the farm. A
 Applying to the people who car ried the $5,00O loan, he was assured that money was tight; they couldn't furnish him what he needed, but across the street another agency was glad to do it.
 "Yes. he could get an $S,000 loan, but on only first mortgage security;
  give him $3,000 of new capital.
 "He made the loan at per cent. and paid a per cent. commission on it-that is, on the entire $8,00O, though he got only $3.O0O of addi- tional capital, and had paid like commission on the older loan
 Here's the way it worked out;
 "The people who had carried the original loan got their money handed back to them, to remain idle till they could find a new investment for it. After they had lost their interest on it for some time, it was loaned anew and 2 per cent, commission taken for replacing it.
 "Thus in this series of transactions, by which the farmer raised $3,000 of new cash on gilt-edged security, there was placed a total or $13,000 of loans, on all of which the going commission of 2 per cent, was paid; total of com- missions. $260; all of it earned by the pleasant process of shifting some loans about, all of them in the same neighborhood.' It was neat little transaction by which the loan agents got new commissions and the borrow CTS got the privilege of paying those commissions"

RAILROADS FIGHT
 E|GHT,HOUR LAW
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK BREAKS UP-MEMBERS UNI
 ABLE TO AGREE.

New Yerk.-The interrupted con ference between representatives of the nations railways and their 100000 brotherhood employees was not re sumed here. The railway managers announced their purpose of fighting the law to a finish in the courts, while the brotherhood chiefs who re maIned in the city left for their homes believing that they may safely rest their case with President Wilson.
 The railroad managers are certain they can prove the unconstitutionality of the Adamson law, while the broth. erhood leaders are equally sure that the law will be upheld by the courts and enforced.
 The attitude of the railways was summarized in a statement issued by Elisha Lee as follows:
 We are all agreed to fight to the end The eoncensus of opinion is that it is necessary to file suits questioning the constitutionality of the law in ev- cry federal district court in which the affected railroads operate.''
 Warren s. Stone president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said:
 The question is closed in so far as we are concerned. We are not al all alarmed We know what President Wilson intended we should have. We feel confident that if the present law does not give us the eight-hour day. nc president will give us law that will

REPUBLICANS CLAIM CONTROL
With Prosressives and Independent
 Elected, Majority Is Claimed.

Washington. Incompleted can vases of the vote in several close congressional districts brought no changes in the unofficial election re- suits which indicate that 217 Repub- lieans, 212 Democrats and six of other parties have been elected to the Sixty fifth Congress.
 Although the unofficial returns show the Republicans to be one short of majority. they are counting on the Progressive elected in Minnesota, the Progressiye-Republican in Louisiana and the independent in Massachu- setts to vote with them for James k. Mann for speaker
 Prospects of Republican gain were apparent in the Thirty Pennsylvania district, where the can vass of all Pittsburgh precincts show ed Representative Barehfield leading Guy Campbell his Democratic oppo- nent, by 12 votes. On the unofficial returns Campbell led Barchfield by 19 votes, Country precincts still are to be canvassed
 Chairman Fitzgerald of the House Appropriations Committee, said the Christmas recess might be abandoned so more business could be transacted.

NOVEMBER 3O SET
 FOR THANKSGIVING
PRESIDENT WILSON FOLLOWS USUAL CUSTOM OF SETTING
 ASIDE LAST THURSDAY.

Washington.-Presi Wilson for mally, by proclamation, designated Thursday, November 30, as Thanks giving Day.
 The presidents proclamation fol lows:
 Ut has long been the custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many bless ings and mercies to us and to the na- ton.
 "The year that has elapsed since We last observed our day of thanksgiving has been rich in blessing to us as q people, but the whole face of the world has been darkened Dy war. In the midst of our peace and happiness our thoughts dwell with painful dis quiet upon the struggles and suffer ings of the nations at war and of the people upon whom war has brought disaster without choice or possibility of escape on their part. We cannot think of our own happiness without thinking of their pitiful distress.
 Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will son, president of the United States of America, do appoint Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, as day of national thanksgiving and prayer and urge and advise the people to re sort to their several places of wor- ship on that day to render thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of peace and unbroken prosperity which he has bestowed upon our beloved country in such unstinted measure.
 And l also urge and suggest our duty, in this, our day of peace and abundance, to think in deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the curse and terror of war has so pitilessly fallen and to contribute out of our abundant means to the relief of their sufferings.
 Our people could in no better way show their real attitude toward the present struggle of the nations than by contributing out of their abundance to the relief of the suffering which war has brought in it's train.
 "In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington this 17th day of November, in the year of our Lord, 1916.
