One day a foreign-born citizen stood
at the w. G. T. q. booth and fell into
conversation. He professed to believe
in temperance all right, but he had a

That supposedly impregnable strong
hold of liQuordom, the state of Pennsyl-
vania, is. like every other state Of the
Union, giving way before advancing
prohibition sentiment. Five years ago
it had two dry counties; today it has
eleven. In 1911 there was one saloon
for every 6S1 persons; today there is
one for every 1877. In 1911 there were
about 700 square miles Of dry terri
tory; today there arr 1890. In 1911,
10000 people of the state lived in no
license territory; today there are
100000, nearly one-fifth Of the total
population. 1t is stated that of the
LOO saloons in Philadelphia, 200 are
on the market. One broker advertises
that he has 100 for sale.

gas bags were shell struck.
The forward gondola is that used
for navigation. 1t was divided into
three compartments. In the first was
the captain, right in the bow of the
ship, looking through nonflammable
celluloid windows. which were pierced
through the cotton fabric that closed
the gondola In above. Conveniently
placed for him were two wheels to
operate the elevating and horizontal
steering rudders and other wheels con-
trolling the water ballast and the
petrol tanks. Before him was little
keyboard with which bombs were
dropped. 1t showed 90 small buttons
like the pushes Of an electric bell,
each of which operated one bomb
dropping hook and released a bomb.
Another lever withdrew shutter,
which had to be withdrawn before the
bomb could fall.

Astern Of the captains cabin in the
same gondola was little room. six
feet by four feet, used by the wireless
operator and containing the wireless
current from six dynamos. one at
tached to each engine. thus leaving
nothing to chance. Astern of the
wireless room, again, still In the same
gondola and isolated from the wire
less room by an air space of about
nm inch, were one Of the six engines
and a dynamo, also two machine guns
mountings of amazing lightness.
The engine is still in good working
order. 1t is of Maybach (Mercedes)
type and develops 24O horse power.
One Of the great surprises of this air
ship is that Immediately behind the
forward gondola and driven by its en-
CINE is a propeller amidships under
meath the ship. There was nothing of
the kind in the Zeppelins brought down
in France and at Saloniki. 1t is one
of the distinctive features of the su.
per-Zeppelin.
The "cat Walk"
To pass from the gondOla down the
ship one had to climb through kind
of trapdoor framed In aluminium into
the "cat walk" perilously narrow
gangway only nine inches wide that
runs the whole length of the keel. On
the aluminium girder Trainings the
thinnest of planking was laid. Some
part Of 1t has survived the fire and
could be very plainly seen. Passing
down this "cat walk" inside the walls

one reached the compartment contain
ing bombs. Here hung the missiles on
90 hooks, and below them was the slid
ing shutter. In the "cat walk" was
another interesting flnd-a lavatery
with fittings of fairy lightness.
Near the center Of the ship, pro
crossing from bow to stern. were sus
pended two other gondolas. These
hung side by side, spaced out little
ON either beam. They are Of much
smaller size, only IS feet long, and
each contains one Maybach 24O horse
power engine, one dynamo and one
machine gun.
In the amidships gondolas were neal
little aluminium cupboards. which Al
the time of the capture contained
comestibles. They were of good de

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor has issued a
charter to the Bricklayers, Masons and
Plasterers International Union of Amer
lea.
While an agitation for affiliation has
been conducted for years among the
bricklayers, definite action was taken at
their recent convention, held in Toronto,
Canada, when the international execu-
tives were empowered to act.
In the charter application, signed by
President Bowen and Secretary Dobson,
it is stated that there are 9l2 local un-
ions, with a membership of 10000, affi-
lated to this international.

CAMPAIGN ISSUE BETWEEN
PRODUCER and EXPLOITER
Labor's Political Success
Based on Non-Pdrtisanshib

The labor representation committee,
consisting of President Gompers, Vice
President OConnell and Secretary
Morrison of the A. F. of L., has
issued a call to organized labor to
consider the issues involved in the
present political campaign at a regu-
lar or special meeting of their unions,
and urges that all workers go to the
polls on election day, November Z,
and protect their interests
The labor representation committee
was appointed by the executive coun-
ell of the A F. of L. in 1906, when
the American Federation of Labor
decided tc more vigorously urge its
partisan political policy = that
trade unionists disregard political
lines and reward their friends and
punish their enemies.
The success of this policy has been
unequaled in the history of the
worlds trade union movement and
the labor representation committee
following its usual policy presents the
issues involved in this campaign and
calls on all workers to go to the
polls on November Z and vote as their
conscience directs for labor, justice,
freedom and humanity.

not partisan to a political party; it
is partisan to a principle, the prin-
ciple OF equal rights and human free

Wilson Women Meet Hughes
Heroines Despite Safer Bailey

When the Hughes silk stocking special
arrived in Denver Tuesday afternoon at
; o'clock, bearing the wives and Poodles
Of Wall street millionaires, it was met
at the Union passenger station by more
than three hundred women wearing Will
son badges. These rich women who have
no votes in New York are touring the
West. telling the women who do have q
vote that they should support Hughe,
and their husbands millions.
Manager OF Safety and Excise Dewey
c. Bailey, Republican member of Mayor
Speer's cabinet, was evidently fearful
that the Wilson women would start
something at the depot or treat the Wan
street damsels urgently. By his order
all of the police reserves were called out
and marched to the station, where under
his order they hcrded the women wear
ing Wilson badges on the opposite side
of the street However, this was an
unnecessary precaution, because Colorado
women who are supporting Wilson are
perhaps better tutored in manners than
those who are travelling on the most
idiotk expedition ever known in n pol
itical campaign.
BY further orders Of Safer Dewey, the
" ilson women were prohibited from un-
furiing their streamers prepared to tell
why Western women who have the vote
are supporting Woodrow Wilson for re-
election as president of the United
States
When the Hughes heroines filed out
of the chute into the street, the Wilson
women gave mighty cheer for Wood
row Perhaps the visitors were not
greatly shocked. because they have be-
come Injured to this sort of a demonstra-
tion for Wilson among the women of
