For The past few weeks our adver-

owing to the rush of holiday business.
This is the season of the year when
the business man usually relaxes his

The best time for any merchant to

the autumn of 1912 the shortage was
very great; this year is likely to
develop, despite better operating
conditions, still greater.
A more intelligent dealing with the
railroads, a better understanding Of
their relationship to the community

the steps that can be taken through

is the elimination Of forty-eight va
rieties of administrative regulation,
and the substitution Of one variety
Federal regulation. That is what
the Republican party-the party OF

party is silent on the issue, but its
tradition Of State rights makes very
certain that such an evolution will
never come from the Democratic
party.

MR.. FORD SHOWS HIS HAND

Henry Ford perhaps knows more
about delivering the women's vote
than he does about getting the boys
out Of the trenches. At any rate,
after a historic failure as a worlds
peacemaker, the Detroit manufac-
turer is undertaking a remarkable
plunge into the most practical of
practical politics. He announces
that all the women workers in his
employ are to be given the same
wages as men; and he 'drags in the
suggestive observation that this pol
icy was adopted following an Gin
spring talk" with President Wilson
ON the subject Of women's forward
movement.
The women, if we envisage at all
accurately the reasoning Of Mr..
Ford, are asked to choose between

frage but talks inspiringly" about
the forward movement among wom-
en-, and Hughes, who has not talked
"inspiringly" enough to induce any
advances in women's wages, but is

MR.. HUGHES TO YOUNG MEN

The young men have always been
a leading asset Of the Republican
party. They recognized it as a party
with its face to the future, its pur-
pose one of construction, its ideal
a widening one. Mr.. Hughes ap-
peals especially for their support, be-
cause he intends that his Admins
tration shall be one Of foundation
building for the times in which this
years first voters will be able to
profit by the work now accomplished.
Men who vote for the first time
this year, will live in a generation
whose whole tendency and destiny
will be determined in the years that
Mr.. Hughes will be President. AT
the wars end a great reorganization
must take place, and this country's
relationship, to and place in the
world, for many decades, will be
fixed by the mode of that reorgsniza-
ton. There must be wise policies
determined purposes. The vacilla'
ton and weakness of that oppor'
tunism that has ruled under the
present Administration, must moi
continue; for Rt the wars end
powerful and hungry Europe will b
prepared to insist on such terms al
it deems its due. America then will
discover, What Mr.. Wilson could no
see long months after the storm be
gan, the clouds on its horizon. Thos'
clouds will be portents of new
struggle, a new kind Of struggle
for our place in the world. We mus
be prepared for economic warfare
and for military warfare if it shal
be forced upon us.

seem slightly inconsiderate Of GER
tain neutrals who are not bearing
the burden and are instead making
profits out Of their misfortunes.
When the war Is over, America
will have a grave concern to insure
that it's interests shall not be ground
between the upper and the neither
millstones Of these opposing eco
nomic alliances. That insurance can
be bought through a policy in the
political party that VIGOROUSLY is
the only party capable Of effectively
administering the business Of this
country. The Republican party's
policies have built up the great
structure Of American business; they
have sustained it; they look to it's
expansion, it's protection, its system
attic encouragement and nourishment.
The Republican party has vision, I'M
derstanding, appreciation Of the
great problems Of world business
and their relation to American BUSH
ness. The Democratic party just as
VIGOROUSLY lacks this equipment. 1t
does not include the men Of great
affairs, of experience in the creation
and management Of vast enterprise.
It's policy has always been one Of
negation in this. regard. It has been
opposed to protective expedients, in
sisting that they were ethically
wrong and economically unsound.
The country has rejected Demo-
cratic counsel, and stood by Repub-
lican policies. It has prospered, ex-
nanded, diversified its interests. 1t
is now the richest nation on earth;
It is the most widely diversified in
dustrial community. It can take
care Of itself, in any economic con-
test that the future may bring, pro-
vided that it places the administra-
tion Of its affairs in control of the
party that has experience, knowl-
edge, and the right policies. The
tried and tested policies that have
accomplished results in the past
must not be surrendered now, wher
a greater exigency confronts us thar
ever before.

OUR INADEQUATE RAILWAYS

There is just one thing the matter
with American railroads. They are
good railroads, and on the whole,
despite a deal of fault-fnding, well
managed. They haul a ton Of
freight farther for given rate than
any other railways in the world can
haul it. They serve larger pro-
portion of the business of the coun-
try than the railroads serve in any
other country.
But the country has outgrown
them. That is the long and short Of
the whole matter. The railroad
managers have done the best they
could, but with a hostile public
opinion handicapping them as it did
for long time they have been I'M
able to prepare for the emergency
that now faces them.
On September 30 last, the net cal
shortage of the country was reported
by the American Railway Associa'
ton at 61,031. A year ago now
there Was reported a net surplus Of
26,299. We must go back to 1907
to find record of as great shortag,
as is now existent: in February o,
that year there was a shortage o,
100000 cars.
The statisticians always find wide
" different conditions in various
parts of the country. One section
will have a deficiency of cars Will,
another has a surplus. This is al
unavoidable incident to seasonabl
movements of traffic; but the rail
roads by dint Of improved method
are reducing these extremes, an
the tendency is to make surpluses-
which represent waste-smaller an

ton. Indications are that for tn

"sUcH VACCINATIONS"

Cardinal Mercier, Catholic primate
Of Belgium, is truly one of the fore
most heroes. Of the war. Maybe
some people have contributed some
better literature than the pastoral
letters in which he has given voice
to the agony of his people; but If so,
, it has escaped attention. He is the
grand old man of Belgium as King
Albert is the grand young man.
At the moment Berlin is demand
ing the suppression Of the noble old
cardinal because in one of his. epic
pastorals he calls on his people to
pray for the wretched population Of
Armenia, and demands special invo-
cation of aid for unhappy Poland,
which by German order can no
longer be fed from America"
"Such Vaccinations" indeed, should
be suppressed, and with rigorous
measures. The idea of referring to
"butcheries" as "butcheries," as the
cardinal did! Or of assuming to
pray to the same God that, on the
word of no less person than the
Kaiser, is going to smile on the
Hohenzollern cause to the end! It is
not to be permitted
And yet there is a quality of en-
barrassment, noted by even so bold
a person as Won Kissing, in the mat
ter of taking Cardinal MERCER out
and shooting him. 1t Us really very
