WAR-MADE PROSPERITY.

Roumania declared war against
Austria Hungary The day after wheat
prices on the Chicago market broke
eleven cents busheI
The reason assigned for the slump
is that the entrance of Roumania into
the European war indicated defeat for
the Central powers-in the Balkan re-
gion at pointed 10 the isolation
and overthrow of Turkey and presaged
tire opening of the Dardanelles.
This would ensure a clear water
passage from the Black sea into the
Mediterranean, would free the Rou
manian and Russian ports to extend
ed commerce and would send into the
markets of Western Europe the ac-
cumulated stores of wheat which have
clogged the storehouses of the Black
sea for two years.
Throwing this Russian and Rou-
manian wheat upon the market will
displace just so many bushels of Am
erican wheat
Democrats have claimed that the
prosperity" which the American far
mer has enjoyed since 1914 is due to
Democratic policies. The Chicago
wheat pit knows better 1t has been
caused by the European war.
We have been looking to the end
of the European war to bring an end
to the spurious conditions of pros
perity" which have been prevailing
here-but we now know that, even
before the war is ended, the false
basis Of our prosperity" may be over
thrown. Roumania entered the war
and the mere threat of releasing the
wheat of Russia and of Roumania was
sufficient to upset the American wheat
market
How will it be when the war is real
ly over and when the output of the
mills and factories of all Europe is
released for sale at free trade prices
in the American market?

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 19.-(Spe-

VIM. J. Bryan was secretary of state
he had his son appointed to position

son-in-law to position in the treas
ury department. Secretary McAdoo,
son-in-law of President Wilson, put
one of his sons in the department of
justice and one in the department. of
commerce. Secretary Daniels got a
place for his brother in the depart
ment of justice. Former First As
sistant Postmaster General Daniel c.
Roper, who recently resigned to as
slst in the Wilson campaign, at one
time had three members of his family
on the pay rolls Secretary Redfield.
appointed u Grant Smith, his private
secretary. Smith had one son on the
pay roll as house page,and his SON
in-law is a special agent of the depart
ment of Commerce.
In the House of Representatives
Speaker Clark's son is the parlimen-
tary clerg at $4,000 per annum. He
is not yet thirty and was given this
job by the Democratic house majority
before he had finished his law studies
The most glazing examples of nepo-
tism are found in the house, and more
poor relations" have been taken care
OF in the house than in the senate
simply because there are more repre-
sentatives that there are senators.

ner's sister-in-law is his stenogra-
pher Stones brother is a clerk in
the house document room. Sabaths
nephew is also in the document room

lima, for time had his son on the pay

TARIFF AND THE NORWEGIAN.

One of the chief differences between
the Republican and the Democratic
parties is the difference in the stand
taken on the tariff The Democratic
industries no longer need protection.
Granting this to be true, there is still
as much need for protective tariff
as ever, not to protect capital, but to
protect labor
high rate of efficiency is demand
ed of the American workingman, GER
tain living conditions are necessary
there is compulsory education, high
moral standards are compelled by law
all tend toward a better social fab
ric, typical of America, and indespen-
sible to American ideals All go to
make America what it is, and to main
tain these standards, ideals and Gus
toms, American labor must be paid
American wages. If the industries
must compete with foreign goods made
under conditions which permit a much
lower selling price, the wage paid the
workingman will decrease according
ly. If the conditions that exist here,
existed in foreign countries, the same
wages, the same standards, ETC., we
would still have need of a tariff, but
a tariff for revenue only AS it is, it
must be borne in mind that the con-
ditions existing in America require
that higher wages be paid here than in
foreign countries, and to make this
possible, a protective tariff is neces-
sary

Golfers" recently published a re-
port of hits made by the Atlantic
squadron while at the last target
practice,-or rather it should be called
a report of misses, as there were dis
gustingly few hits The figures given
by Golfers" were denied by Secre-
tary Daniels, who attempted to show
that if the target had been 100 feet
longer and 80 feet higher, it would
have been struck oftener. Then came
a report that the navy department had
completed the construction of a tar
get about 200 feet long, followed by
another report that there would be no
further target practice by the navy un-
til after election. To offset criticism
of gun efficiency, the navy department
has just published a statement to the
effect that it cost three-quarters of a
cent less per man to feed the navy
this year than last, making a saving
of 100000. The paymaster general
of the navy is quoted as saying: 1.-THE
fact that the men are better fed today
than ever, even at the reduced cost,
is fully attested by reports from all
sources" So. on the whole, it would
appear that our navy is better fed and
shoots worse than ever in it's history.

Representative Johnson, of South Car
Dina, got one of his sons in the post
office department and another a house
job. A nephew was made clerk to a
house committee and the representa-
tive's campaign manager was made a
capital policeman. Representative
Aiken of South Carolina, employs his
son as his secretary; his nephew is in
the sergeant-at-arms Office. Repre-
sentative Clark Of Floriad, has two
relatives on his committee and got
door keepers job for his brother The
son of Representative Padgett is the
assistant clerk of his fathers COM
mittee The son of Representative
Carlin though a student in George
town University, is a clerk in the
house judiciary committee. A nephew
OF Representative Shackleford is clerk
to the committee on roads. Represen-
tative Lloyd of Missouri, has a brother
in the committee on accounts, and his
brOther-in-law is an assistant door
keeper in the house. At one time
Lloyd had five members of his family
on the pay roll.
This list might be extended at great
length for there are scores of poor
relations" of senators and representa-
tives, drawing good salaries on gov
eminent pay rolls. On August 18th
