They laughed at me. I told them that

they looked little dazed, but sent me

"We saw lots of the results of war.
Submarines were plentiful in the Nor

country on the Norwegian American
steamer Fjorid and When we reached
Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands she
was boarded by the British. They took
all the American mail and searched all
the baggage for contraband. They

into competition with the man crushed
under the heel Of war and under the
burden Of the debts of war. American
workmen and American standards of
living must have some measure of pro-
lection. 1t can not be found in the
free trade folly that a Democratic
administration offers and promises to
offer for the future.
We have goughed ourselves with the
prosperity of war and if we are unwil-
ling to sanely look at a great problem,
we will probably pay the heavy penalty
later. War prosperity has brought its
benefits and the. surest way to insure
these benefits against loss is to vote
for an administration pledged to the
enactment of a protective tariff which
will give the certainty of real prosper
ity in the days Of lasting peace.
The pertinent question for Kenosha
is to protect itself. It is the question
that rises above all others. We believe
in humanitarianism, but we believe in
that humanitarianism which begins in
the proper protection of our fresides
and homes.
A vote for Hughes and Republican
administration is the surest way to get
this protection.

Don't Go to Norway There is just
as much war in the North Seas as

the ordinary traveller aboard neutral

Friends Of Governor Philip believe
there is no question but he will be
elected next Tuesday, by large ma
jority. The governor has given to the
state of Wisconsin splendid business
administration, and on this record de-
serves the support Of every citizen Of
the state who has the welfare of Wis
consin at heart.
The voters of Wisconsin rarely have
the opportunity to vote for man Of
the caliber of Emanuel Il. Philip for
governor. It is not often that men of
his high business capacity are willing
to give their time to public service.
The governor has given this state the
benefit of his splendid executive capa-
city for two years, and it is only right
that he should be given an opportunity
to finish the work which he has begun
and which is bound to prove of such
great benefit to the state.
This should be remembered by the
voters next Tuesday, when they may
be expected to show their appreciation
of the governor 8 valuable services by
accomplishing his election by ma
jority so large that the public will
know that the work Governor Philip
is doing for the state of Wisconsin is
thoroughly appreciated.

Hughes on Labor.

"There are some who regard

regard it as fine opportunity
for the improving Of the condi-
tions of the workingman. -

1.-THE mission of labor organi-
= cations is one of the finest that
any organization of men could
guard. CHARLES E. Hughes.
= He was the greatest friend
Y of labor laws that ever occupied
the governor IS chair. He signed
fifty-six labor laws (one-third of
all passed in the state since
1777), among them many of the
best ever enacted in this or any
other state. He urged the enact
y ment of labor laws in his mes
sages to the legislature, even GO
ing SO far as to demand a labor
law at an extra session. Human
rights have a steadfast and sym
pathetic upholder in the new JUS
tice. New York Legislative
Labor News.
These are not new opinions
from the Republican candidate
nor a recent estimate concerning
him.
Hughes recorded his stand on
labor NOT when a candidate for
office, but as a governor of New
York soon to retire from politi-
cal life to become a justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, where he expected to re-
main for the rest of his life.

HELD IN SHETLAND ISLANDS
British Paid No Attention TO Suggested
Protest to the Government of the
United States and Searched Bag
gage and Confiscated Mails.

With plenty of thrilling experiences
to relate, including story of how he
was held as prisoner of war by the
British for more than three days. Emil
Taube, we'll known Kenosha man,
reached Kenosha on Sunday afternoon
after having spent four months in the
war zone in Europe. Taube bears no
marks Of his encounters with actual
warfare, but he has lots Of souvenirs
to show that he saw as much of the
warfare of the sea as any person from
Kenosha who has been in Europe or in
the Norwegian waters. Taube left
East Boston on the 22nd Of July last
as a member Of the crew of the steam
yacht "Peregrine, which went to the
Iceland coast to fish for herring He
remained in Iceland for only short
time and then the party started to
Norway. Cruising in the yacht off the
Shetland Islands late in August, the
yacht was taken by a British man-of-
war and the entire crew taken to
Lerwick in the Shetland Islands
where for three days the members
of the crew were held in a corral
as prisoners of war.
"We were treated with little con-
sideration by the British,o said Taube
this morning. "My name was a Ger
man name and I had no passports and
the British officers seemed to be deter
mined to hold me as a German spy.
They searched my clothing and even
my shoes. They demanded passports
and when I insisted that I had not ex-
pected to get anywhere near the war

Flag or Rag7

Mexico is either a nation or
mob-to be estimated and dealt
: with by the standards Of civil
cation or to be treated as an I'M
governable barbarian.
For the first time since the
founding of these United States,
our citizens have been deserted
by their own government, aband-
oned to persecution, robbed and
nnassacred with impunity.
Every species of shame that
can be heaped upon proud re-
public has been inflicted upon us
by a people whose de facto head,
the successor of Washington and
Lincoln, delights to honor with
the consideration due only to po-
I litical and moral equals.
A weak and vacillating admin
T istration persists in the fulfil
( ment Of Bryan s fanatic and
fantastic ideals Of benevolence.
Are we of such cheap and
shoddy stuff as to forget the
stain upon our flag, the martyrs
born In the faith that the blood
of Americans is precious and
priceless, that the stars and
( stripes spell haven and that the
ground upon which we tread is
holy, consecrated?
How many more Americans
must be massacred, how many
more women violated, how many
more miles of property seized be-
fore the strange arithmeticians
at Washington will be able to
count the game of retribution
worth the risk of alternating the
support Of peace-at-any price adj

Because Woodrow Wilson has
failed to establish order in and
exact satisfaction from Mexico
because his unspeakable policy
of interference and non interven-
: ton is directly responsible for

border, because he has demon

promptly and adequately with
! any international problem--be-
cause he holds cheap what we

dacy and the convictions of
