It is lust now made known that
Henry Morgenthau, ambassador at
Constantinople, will resign his post
to take up some very important work
connected with the financial end of
the President anvass Mr.. Morgen-
than is now in this country on leave of
absence and a few weeks ago It was
limited that the exigeneies of politics
would prevent his return to Turkey.
In the white heat of a fictitious indig-
nation this rumor was denied. But the
truth now appears-and Mr.. Morgen-
THAI will stay at home. The expert
ence he has gained in Turkey will go
for naught. Another deserving Dem
will be sent to that troublous
area to learn the ropes at the expense
of the American treasury and to the
cost of American interests. But Mr..
Wilson will have achieved the distine-
ton of being the first President who
has attempted to loot the diplomatic
both going and coming.

WAR PROTECTION
AND PROSPERITY

The American Wooden company, of
Boston, and the Arlington Mills, of
Lawrence, Mass, have announced that
they will pass to their employees a
share of their war order prosperity in
the shape of an increase Of 10 per cent
in wages. This will affect $4,000 oper-
atives in the former and 1000 in the
latter company. This increase does not
represent all that the wooden mill oper-
atives have gained as a result of the
increased prosperity growing out of the
war boom. On the first of the year they
were granted an increase of five per
cent. Wages in the textile trades are
now 25 per cent higher than formerly.
For the first time in its history the
American Wooden company paid, in
1915, III per cent on its $780, 00, 900 of
common stock. In 1894, under the
blight of the Democratic tariff, it paid
regular dividends on the preferred
stock out of surplus, its earnings not
being sufficient.
The European war not only acted as
a protective tariff on manufactured
woolens, but our exports to the bellig-
erents have increased beyond all cal
culations. During the calendar year
1913 we exported manufactures of wool
to the value of $4, 500, 900. In 1914,
with five months of war, they reached
$12,500,000, while in 1915 they reach
ed the unprecedented value of $42,
100000. Blankets, uniforms, ETC., form
ed the bulk of these exports, and the
Department of Commerce refuses to
recognize such articles as munitions of
war.

Meredith Nicholson, author of the
"Port of Missing Men," and other
works of fiction, has been spoken of as
assistant secretary of war to succeed
Henry Breckenridge, who resigned with
Garrison. Mr.. Nicholson S training In
the world of letters commends itself to
Mr.. Wilson, who is afflicted with writ

ever vacated during Mr.. Wilson'S ad-
ministration, he viii probably appoint
Laura Jean Libbey to that position.

can Congressman were giving a dinner.
He enjoyed himself hugely, the reports
say; and il is safe guessing that ne

if he found himself at a board where
there might be a more pronounced EN-

Seven years ago a Republican Secre-
tary of State tried to have Congress
establish the office of Under Secretary
but the highly democratic Democrats
reared up and denounced the scheme
as a patterning after the effete mon
arches of Europe. So, while the job
was established, the title given to it
was that of Counsellor. Now the Dem
ocrats have brought in a bill to change
the name of the place to Under Secre-
tary. 1t is a small matter, perhaps,
but, taken with all the other Republic
can notions which Democrats nova
days are adopting, it is worth noting.

An amendment to the sugar bin, of
fered by Senator Lodge, provided for
a tariff on dyestuffs, a measure of legis-
lation which has the approval of Dem
oerats and Republicans alike, outside
of Congress. The Democrats voted it
down, of course. The dyemakers will
have to possess their souls with pa
thence until 1917. This action Of the
Senate is a pretty certain indication
that there will be no attempt on the
uart of the House Democrats to bring
in a protective dyestuffs tariff. The
Hill bill will go into the discard for
this Congress.

announcement that they were can
vassing the returns of the "sympa-
thetic strike" vote of from 10000 to
so 900 workers allied with transit

that many of the local unions listed
to participate in the walk out" tomor-
row had vested strike call powers in
their officers and that the workers
would be prepared 10 leave their
places on short notice.
So far as the strike Of the car men
