THE ONLY REMEDY

But an extraordinary situation
confronts us.
And extraordinary ills require
extraordinary remedies.
If we vote the ticket presented
to us under the name Republi-
can, we will be voting for every
thing that is n-Republican.
1t will be regarded as endors-
ing these things:
Turning men fairly elected out
of office.
Saddling unequal tax laws on
the people, whereby some of the
wealthy and the special interests
escape their just share of taxa
tion, and the share which they
escape must be put up by the
common herd"
Loading the taxpayers with ex-
horbitant salaries, state and
county, to the end that an office
holding oligarchy be created,
with money enough wrested from
the people to enable them to fl
nance costly campaigns.
Gag rule in running legisla-
lures.
Gag rule, and the utter ignor-
ing cf the will and rights of the
voters in conventions.
The nomination Of notoriously
unfit candidates because they
stand in with and will support
the gang,
The attempted intimidation of
newspapers by libel suits and the
threat Of libel suits.
The absolute suppression of
minority rights,
Traficking in Office and the
emoluments of office for the per-
petuation Of political power.
Neglecting to make needed
laws for the benefit and pro-
lection of the people.
Not only will q vote for the
Republican ticket he regarded as
an endorsement of these things
and many more like them, but it
will be construed as a license to

ITALY TURNING TO RIVERS
FOR POWER AND FUEL


Special Correspondent Associated Press.
Ronre-Ttaly has just taken the initial
steps toward becoming the first entirely
electrified country of the world. 1t will
be one of the permanent benefits that war
VIII have conferred, or rather forced. up
on her.
Italy never did have a coal supply of
her own, and what wood there was was
consumed by the ~barbarians centuries be-
fore modern Italy had a chance to make
use of it. With the outbreak Of the pres
ent war, Italy at once realized that her
greatest menace was that of having her
England, cut off.
Within the first month of the war Eng
land entered into an open agreement with
Italy to keep her supplied with coal The
wiseacres at once knew that Italy, if she
ever participated in the war. would enter
on the side of the allies, at is was con-
allow coal to be sent to Italy without a
positive guarantee that the coal might
not eventually be used against her. In
OFFICIAL circles that the absolute neces-
sity of keeping her coal supply helped to
line Italy up with the allies as much as
In spite of Eng1and's promise to keep
Italy stocked, the lack of ships the hisIl
cost Of ~freighttng and the labor difficult
t..ss Of England, all have had the effect
of putting Italy in a bad way industrialfy.
Realizing more h ever that a coal
supply means to Italy what mastery OF
of the seas mean to Germany and what
mastery of the Pacific means to Japan,
Italy has set about to emancipate herself
from this perpetual menace
While entirely lacking a natural coal

and what, up to date, have beer useless
streams and waterfalls. What ItaIy now
propose to do is to harness All of these
streams and waterfalls with hydraulic
electric plants that will render unneces-
sary a single ton of coal in all Itafy.
As a matter of fact. Italy already has
scores of these plants, but to hurry along
scores of others a series Of royal DEGREES
has Just been issued creating subsidies
and other government help for their IN
stallatfon and development. Already in
northern italy there are hundreds Of miles,
of electrified railways, but the present
plans call not only for the electrifying OF
every mile of railway In Italy, but for
furnishing electric power from hydraulic
plants that will supply absolutely every
industrial concern In the country without
the use of a single ton OF coal.
In this way italy not only plans to free
herself from the perpetua! 1nemace to her
national existence, which would come
from. any country that might cut off her
coal supply, but also to make possible
an Industrial life. which heretofore, owing
to the high price of imported GOA, has
been impossible.

1t is hard to recall a great struggle for

has been served by them.
The Case of the Railroads.
States rights are out of the trend OF
the times. The railroads once opposed
national control. They wished the sta tes
to exercise the power which it was pro-
posed to give to the Interstate Commerce
commission. Now, however, their feel
|ings have been changed. They prefer the
Interstate Commerce commission to the
multitude of state railroad commissions.
Mr.. Emery and his constituents would
probably have a similar change of heart.
The south is progressing. Humanitarfan-
ism is growing. The southern legislature.
which today refuses to protect working
children, tomorrow Will be adopting radi-
cal laws. That was the experience of the
railroads and it is likely to be the case
of the manufacturer who, directly or in
directly, support child labor.
When the legislatures and local boards
do wake UP, they are much more severe
than congress. The control they impose
hurts. The interest which thinks to es-
cape by taking refuge with the states has
a sorry experience.
A Longer View.
MIR. Emery protests against ''the larceny
of local seIf-government," which happens
to be an excellent phrase. His clients
none the less will profit in the long run
by the same larceny.
Illinois already has a child labor law
which does about what the K~eating-Owen
bill would accomplish. Children under "a

none between IA and 16 may toll more than
eight hours. Massachusetts has a similar
law and likewise it has cotton mills.
Tender children can be exploited by the
southern millers. The Massachusetts, own
ers cannot devise profit from this source.
Accordingly they suffer in competition
with the south. Obviously the Massa-
chusetts man should favor the Heating
Owen bill. It benefits him by eliminating
unfair competition. That ON a large scale
is the advantage which national control
achieves. Child labor through states.
