PRESIDENT WILSON'S TRIBUTE
TO WOMEN

Miss Jane Adams, of Chicago,
who put Theodore Roosevelt's name
up for nomination at the Progress
siva convention, has come out" for
Woodrow Wilson who was intro
duced by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
former superintendent of Chicago's
schools, when he addressed over
1000 ladies in that city last Thurs
day In the course of his address
Mr. Wilson said: The whole spirit
of the law has been to give leave to
the strong, to give opportunity to
those who could dominate, but it
seems to me that the function of So
ciety now has another element in it.
and | believe that it is the element
which, women are going to supply.
1t is the element of meditation, of
comprehending and drawing the
elements together. 1t is the power
of sympathy as contraste6 with the
power of contest"
He also said: Modern society
has a new set of problems to meet.
1t has to say if the employer will
not voluntarily establish the prop
er conditions OF labor the law must
oblige him to establish the props
conditions of labor. If he will not
voluntarily be humane and fair, he
must be Obliged to be humane and
fair"
The president made compliment
tary reference to the big manufac-
turing company which recently vol
UNFAIRLY established an eight-hour
day without reducing pay, and
continued "The spirit of the thing
is even better than the thing itself
1t is the recognition of their part
nership as human spirits with the
men who are doing their work.
Il am happy to say that all over
the United States men have begun
to have that sort of enlightenel hu.
manitarianism that if you treat g
man like a human being he will
work for you with a heart as well
as a hand"

Seventh of November. | am right

1t is parliamentary to inquire why
Wall Street does noe finance the

Let echo answer! But the most
amazing to me of all, is the down
right CALLING nerve, brazen audacity
and satanic effrontery of the self
constituted "pie-seeking brigade" in
Georgia trying to get the intelligent
citizens of the grand old Empire
State of Dixie-land to vote with a
party whom Teddy Roosevelt de-
nounced four years ago, as being too
fuliginous and rotten for decent
man to align himself with. This is

WE MUST MEET THE SITUATION

One of the favorite words of tn g
older generation used to be "thor-
ough. " When the boys failed to
tread down the hay properly in the
barn loft or left the vegetable gar
den half weeded they were told to
go back and do it thoroughly. 1t
was the spirit of the age.
This is the spirit today in the
old world. German manufacturers
have won trade by a disposition to
perfect every last detail. Tt Y
gained a strangle hold On Europe
early in the war by having every
thing ready to the last button. The
allies are finally pushing the Ger
mans back because they, too, are
showing mastery perfection of de-
tail
Are we thorough" enough here
in America to meet European com
petition after the war is over? A
manufacturer was talking about
this few days ago. He told this
incident. There is one girl in his
shop whose work is to give a care
full inspection to every finished ar
ticle. She had got in the habit of
passing the product along with but
the most rapid glance. The fore
man demonstrated. The girl, know
ing that help is very scarce, told
him pertly that if he did not like
her work he could get someone else.
The work people are not the
only ones who lack the spirit of
thorough work. The complaint of
failure of American shells to ex-
plode, of American shoes made with
paper soles, looks In the same direc-
ton. 1t is constant experience in
buying goods, particularly when
you buy them of some distant mail
order house, to find serious defects.
There is needed in our country
a revival of the old thorough spirit
The mechanic should be ashamed to
pass on his work until every detail
is perfected. The manufacturer
should be unwilling to distribute
anything less than the best. Bet
ter turn out smaller product if if
is faithfully made in every respect !"

WHITE PAPER AND

(From the Richmond Times-Dis-

Despite the fact that the country
was, and is, confronted with so un-
precedented shortage of white pa-
per that the publishing trade is Sc
riously menaced, the last congress

example of all its predecessors and
wasted miles of paper in the CON

curtal the ranking privilege.

When congress reconvenes, some
senator or representative will have
an opportunity to strengthen his
hold on his constituency and gain
the respect of the whole public by
making a determined effort to put
an end to the folly of the "leave-to-

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

The Republicans have made a
great hullabaloo out of the eight
hour law passed on the closing day
of the last session of congress, be-
cause it literally scared them out
of their wits. They saw visions of
the labor vote of the country going
in solid blocks to the democratic
candidate for President In this they
were probably not mistaken. So
they had to attack it-they felt
forced to do something to offset the
tremendous political significance of
this act.
The Republican party has never
been the friend of the laboring man.
A number of years ago they used
specious arguments plausibly but
right effectively just before a presi-
dental election. But the laboring
men have become educated. They
have been fooled long enough and
they don't intend to be fooled any
longer by highly paid Republican
campaign speakers.
So the Republican candidate at
tackled the eight hour law, and re-
publican magazine writer's deity
damned it with faint praise. The
person who couldn't read between
the lines in these articles was GER
tainly more stupid than the aver
age.
The passage of the eight hour
law, was, it is true, an expedient
but it so happened that it was an
expedient that would stand the fire
of all just criticism. The republi.
cans have ridiculed the law and
threatened the democrats they
have declared that Congress and the
President allowed themselves to be
bullyragged by the four brother
hood leaders into the passage of
this law. They have shot at the
law from every possible angle, but
so far have not found a vulnerable
spot
If President Wilson had stupidity
and stubbornly refused to do his
utmost to prevent the threatened
railroad strike, he would have been
denounced from one end of the
country to the other. The people
would have literally risen up in
arms against him. He did the only
logical thing-urged the passage of
law which would not only prevent
the strike but would stand the fire
of after criticism. The chances are
that the eight hour law will become
permanent statute, with such ad-
justments added as will meet the
eXigencies of every situation and
at the same time be fair to the rail
roads and the employees.
Candidate Hughes has recently
declared in public speech that he
favored the eight hour law. He
made this statement though after
he had done his utmost to inflame
public sentiment against it. When
he found that the people endorsed
1t, he as usual turned tail and
cringed to the inevitable. The
eight hour" law has stood the test
OF public sentiment, and come out
with flying colors.--Rome Tri-
