Although the present national campaign has
been unusually free from personal mud-sng-
ing, 1t has been marked by methods of campaign
ing that are thoroughly dishonest. And the chief
dent Wilson in general and his principal newspa-
per advocate In New York in particular. The
president himself may really believe that only
by his reelection can the nation be saved from
war, and that his own policies In dealing with
our international relations are the only ones by
which peace has been preserved. But who can
believe that there is even the faintest pretense Of
sincerity in the repeated declarations that are be-
ing made In his behalf about "Mr. Hughess
sncers at peace" the assertions that It Is the
purpose Of the republicans to invade Mexico as
soon as they gain control Of the federal govern
ment that the republican party Is opposed to
shorter hours for labor and is antagonistc to the
laborer, and that 1t Is bent ION committing the
country to foreign war and industrial conflict
at homer
found in the annals of American political con-
troversy. Mr.. Hughes arraignment of the presi-
dent is not and never has been because he has
kept the peace. The counts Of the indictment
have to do with the means not the end and none
knows this better than those who are striving to
cloud the issues and defame the republican can
didate and party. After. the. example given the
country by President Cleveland of brave and
resoute methods in dealing with industrial dis
turbances at home and with complications with
foreign nations, It Is an insult to the intelligence
of the American people to ask them to believe
that only by "a supine submission to wrong
and injustice and the subsequent loss of national
self-respect" could president of today have met
emeroereies no more serious!
In attempting to raise false issues as to the
end aimed at by the presidents policy and in
silence and evasion as to the means chosen to
attain those ends, the democratic defenders OF
the administration openly confess the weakness
OF their own case before the American people.
Respect for the good intentions of President Viii
son is not by any means inconsistent with a
vehement reputation of his methods, and it is
this reputation that forms the basis of the appeal
to the nation for new steersman at the helm
who will keep straight course for the national
ness.

Soaring Food Prices

The reports gathered by the Department Of
Agriculture on food prices on October ], show
soaring tendency that justi6es widespread alarm
Flour Is higher than II has been at any time since
the civil war The price OF potatoes Is ll6 per
cent higher than in October last year. The aver
age price OF butter has increased II per cent dur
ing the same period. II ls cent pound higher
than II has been at this season for eight years.
Eggs are cents dozen higher than last year.
The same tendency is shown to a greater or less
degree in the prices Of practically all other table
necessities. Chicago retail prices Of staples show
50 per cent advance IN year. The New York
INCREASES range from 40 TO 100 per cent, with a
500 per cent increase in few articles. A bushel
Of apples now costs as much as barrel did last
year.
Numerous elements enter into the responsible
ity for these high prices. We must confess our
inability to offer handy solution Of the problem
that 10 confronting every consumer and that Is
filing wage and salary workers with real con-
Germ. There Is notable inelasticity about wages.
Increases In wages seldom Immediately follow in
creases IN prices. But people must live, somehow.
Our democratic friends in 1912 professed to know
then although they seem low by comparison with
those now prevailing They also professed to have
an infaIlibie remedy which they promised to use.
That Is promise they have not kept. They are
doing many desperate things In an effort to win
the approval OF the voters They still have a
month In which to keep that almost forgotten
pledge. II they can reduce the cost OF living Il
viii be the most popular thing they could pos
SHY do. While we have not been honored with
appointment % their advisory committee. regular

That u the one achievement that would cause the
w.iolc people 10 arise and call them blessed.

War Brought to Our Shores.

Demonstrations by the U-boats off the Atlantic
coast of the United States have startled the ma
ton into fuller realization of the extent OF the
world war. Waters hitherto considered safe as
any over which the tides roll have thus been
brought into the battle zone in reality as well as
theory, and navigation from now on must be
with due consideration for the possible presence
of submersible warships and the inevitable con-
sequences to merchantmen. This condition need
surprise none; the wonder is that it was not de-
veloped earlier. The crossing Of the Atlantic by
submarine is not an especial feat of navigation,
nor serious test Of seamanship. In the case
of the Deutschland it was easy, while journeys
made by armed U-boats have been extensive
and much more perilous. Therefore, from the
beginning Of the submarine campaign the steamer
lanes along the Atlantic coast of the United States
have been as open to the uses of the subseas as
any waters OF the world. That the activity Of
the campaign has not hitherto been extended to
our side of the world is undoubtedly due to the
fact that 1t did not suit German plans to begin it
earlier.
The United States is directly concerned for
several reasons. Principal of these will be the
danger to American vessels, much more nurner-
Gus in the home waters than abroad. Unusual
care must be exercised by the U-boat command
ers to avoid grave complications. Nor can our
government tolerate campaign that will amount
to blockade Of American ports This has al
ready been determined as to the warships Of the
Entente Allies, notice having been served on those
governments long ago that they must not inter-
ferc in any way with free passage to and from
American ports, their continuing presence being
regarded as a menace warranting protest. The
German government will be required to take. cog
nizance Of this condition.
So long as the German submersibes violate
none Of the established rules of warfare no in
reference from our government is called for.
That we do not agree with the Entente Allies as
to the status Of the submarine may result in some
discussion Of the point, but the position Of the
United States as neutral Is hardly likely to be
affected.

South American Trade Obstacles.

Most of the Commercial club members who
listened to the midday talk Of Bishop Homer C..
Stuntz on South America have little occasion to
get in touch with the people whose social and
business characteristics the bishop described Tour
list intercourse with the southern republics is
rifling and trade relations comparatively limited.
Only since the war have conditions brought home
to North Americans the vast field of trade en-
terprise open to the south--a field wholly neg
lected by US and monopolized by Europe Great
efforts are being made along the seaboard to Sc
cure some Of the trade and overcome obstacles
and indifference to trade expansion in that direc-
ton.
The chief obstacle, as the bishop pointed out,
is "our unfathomable unfamiliarty with South
American conditions Learning the Spanish
language is encouraged in many quarters for use
in countries where Portuguese is the native tongue.
Thorough familiarity with that language is the
first essential to solid progress In trade, But
there are other essentials Of salesmanship which
must be learned and practiced to insure perma-
nent results. An American who travelled exten.
siveiy through Brazil states In letter to the
Philadelphia Ledger that courtesy in trade, ennis

niercially differs materially from that OF the
south. The atter's racial traits, his ideals and
sentiments must be studied and respected. I'm
less these are thoroughly understood, bulked with
better manners and knowledge OF the native
tongue, trade intercourse will disappoint expec-
tations for years to come.
European traders have sown among the ma
tives the impression that the United States is a
huge, uncouth colossus, swollen with wealth.
sel6shness and arrogance. This impression may
be readily overcome II our advance agents Of
business speak the language OF the natives and
show the ready courtesy and sympathy they carry
abundantiy at home.

ing each other to be manufacturing
anything. They do not mention the
high cost of living-the highest in the
worlds history. They promised I
lower living expenses. A few Of the
foolish laboring class are In favor OF

House because he had congress pass

100000 railroad iaborers, It practi-
cally ignores all the other railroad
employees. as well as nearly all other
working people who are as much en-
titled to an eight-hour day as anyone.
And as to our Mexican relations, II
we ever were in a national disgrace.

lican. as well as everyone else, ought
to vote Nebraska dry as we'll as to
vote for good men to enforce the
