Never in thirty-six years has Wall
Street betting been wrong. The can
didate was always elected that had the
odds in his favor. In 1883 the odds
started in favor Of Harrison. but end
ed in even money on Cleveland and
the latter won by 1900 votes in New
York State. The basis Of the Wall
Street betting is that as New York
States goes so goes the nation. Many
of the bettors are men on the inside
of both parties. It Is said that Tam
many Hall has won large money by
betting Republican candidates under
assumed names.
Ohio. / believe. is safe for Hughes
know one family in Ohio that were
the leaders in securing twelve Of the
delegates for Wilson in 1912. who
voted from start to finish for him, that
are going to vote for Hughes on
Tuesday. but for the State Democratic
ticket otherwise. This family has
twenty-one votes and with their fol-
lowing embrace a powerful influence.
They have not been talking of their
intentions. and this is a fair sample of
the silent vote. I saw a State esti-
mate that they obtained by private
canvass of every county in Ohio and
they gave Hughes the State by over
$500.

In 1870. the Pilgrim Puritans landed In
Massachusetts,. In the same year cargo
of negroes was imported into virginia

this, there has been an essential differ
ence between the two sections Of the
country, which has manifested itself
along the line Of original impulse.
The industrial system which prevsi6
now in the South Is no more acceptable
to the people in the North than the for1
mer system of labor was. and Il is not
possible that the nation as a whole will
adopt a system of industry and labor 90
unprosperous and 30 unsuccessful as that
offered now and heretofore by Southern
statesmen. Let us remember that Il IL

The Democrats are relying much on
the fact that they have kept US out Of
war. They are strong for that. They
were also strong for that IN 1880, and
the then Democratic President, James
Buchanan. said: Let the err1ng sisters

pie and the God Of battles was otherwise.
Senator TiIlman has astonished himself

From 40 to 60 per cent of the skilled mechan-
les OF Europe have been called into the field.
not mechanics merely, but men of skill of every
sort. The whole physical energy. the whole dex-
have been concentrated upon the work of destruc-
ton, says the President, and he wonders what sort
OF imagination one must have who fears the over
them great stores of manufactured products at
prices with which American manufacturers could
not compete. Instead Of turning from such pros

Now that the campaign to all intents and pur-
poses has ended, it is pertinent to ask whether
the cause of organized labor has been advanced
or retarded by its pronounced activity for one OF
the tickets. While protesting no desire to medde
Ill politics, President Samuel Gompers and his COL
leagues of the American Federation of Labor went
from one end of the country to the other taking
prominent place in the army of orators that were
working for President Wilson. 1t is difficult to
conceive how their work as individuals can be dis
sociated from their official connection with the
national labor body In its ranks, the A. F. of L.
numbers men and women of all political faiths
and they are we'll within their rights in entering
a protest against impairing the efficiency of the
body by its injection into the maelstrom of politics

OF sending munitions and supplies for the purpose
of carrying on the war and destroying more prop
to send them the things needful to restore those

will preserve the present prosperity for six or
seven years until Europe has built herself up again
into full competing condition. Upon this theory

ASSUAGEMENT.

ASSUAGEMENT.
When friends pass on to unknown seas
Weep not, but sorrow deep assuage
With smiles DER tender memories
That form your priceless heritage.
Recall with joy the friendly grip;
The love that sparkled in the eye;
The splendor of the fellowship
Vouchsafed to you in days gone by.
And in the depths of woe be glad
That in this busy world of stress
By some rich grace divine you had
So rare gift of Friendliness.

Mr. Hughes said that to his mind it would be
very thoughtless policy to surrender any of these
important rights because of any sentimental con-

neutral commerce to conserve, and in view of the
importance of adhering to the rights of neutrals
in anticipation of the future importance of these
rights to the United States. There is not the
slightest bit of sentiment in the matter, it is one
of international law and of neutral policy This

LONDON. Jan. 2O.-Pope Benedict
may be appealed to. 1t was learned
today. to give his consent to the re-
moval OF bodies of several American
victims OF the Lusitania from lone
ly' burial ground near Queenstown.
The urban district council at
Queenstown refused the request for
exhumation several weeks ago after
identification had been established by
means of photographs. Representa-
tives for the American petitioners
have discovered that the late Pope
Plus gave permission for removal Of
the body of an American woman from
a Catholic burial ground near Dublin
two years ago. They plan to cite this
case to the present pope.
