Mrs. Hughes as a campaioner.

Charles Evans Hughes was happy
man the day after the Maine election.
There were two reasons for his happi-
ness. the decision In Maine and de-
cision nearer home. Mrs. Hughes de-
cided to accompany her distinguished
husband on the second campaign trip,
which will continue with only two
days interruption until election day.
Mrs. Hughes has not missed single
meeting since the campaign began. She
has not failed to stand by her hus-
band on the car platform at every
station where his train stopped and
sit near him as he spoke in the many
halls and auditoriums along the way.
Mr.. Hughes insists that whatever sue
cess he may have attained on the trip
is due in large measure to the fact
that Mrs. Hughes is with him, helping
him make friends by her winning man
ner and at all times giving him the
benefit of her good counsel and cheer
full company. In addition to talking
over his speeches with him, Mrs
Hughes makes many suggestions about
his correspondence and writes a daily
letter to her children, from whom she
has never been separated so long be-
fore. When Mr.. Hughes started on his
first swing around the circle Mrs
Hughes did not intend to appear on
the platform, but much preferred to
sit in the audience, as she is almost
timid In her manner and the very an
tithesis of aggressiveness. But the
people insisted upon seeing her. so
after her husband had been interrupt
ed at several places by calls for Mrs.
Hughes, she reconciled herself to cir
cumstances and now she bravely
faces the music" at every meeting.
Mrs. Hughes is far from being ''poli-
tician," but she Is one Of the best
helpmates a man ever had. "She's a
winner" Is the way the correspondent
of a metropolitan Democratic paper
who is accompanying Mr.. Hughes de-
scribes her. land l couldn't be sorry
to see her the first lady of the land, in
spite Of my politics."

las TO CHILD LABOR BILL
Some Facts Of the Legislation With
Which the Voters May Not es
Properly Informed.

The child labor bill. which forbids
interstate traffic in goods turned OUT
by factories or mines employing chill
dren under fourteen years OF age or
working persons between fourteen
and sixteen more than eight hours
day, Is a fine piece of humanitarian
legislation. By making 1t federal
law congress, thanks to the tnsistence
Of President Wilson, has done some
thing most Of the intelligent people
of the United States have desired for
the last 20 years.-Collier's Weekly.
But why not tell the whole story
and say that the child labor bill Is In
its origin a Republican measure which
would never have been enacted except
with Republican support and that Its
most determined opposition came from
Democratic senators representing
states Of the solid South. which form
the backbone of the Democratic party !
Why not tell, also, that the need
of such law Is not because of condi-
tions In Republican states, all OF
which already have laws regulating
the labor of children, but because of
>CANitioho LII Il Lev"
Southern states which have-time
and again-defeated every effort to
curtail the employment of children In
their factories.
Why not tell, too. that "joker" has
already been discovered in the bill
which may leave the door open for
evasion of its restrictions in the Dem
ocratic states where child labor is
lawful and still tolerated, II not en-
couraged?
Finally. why not ask why President
Wilson remained deaf to the demand
for this fine piece of humanitarian
legislation for nearly three years and
half of his administration and be-
came active for 1t only on the eve of
his campaign for reelection in which
he wanted to throw out this hook for
votes to make Republican progressives
believe he was with them for progress
sive measures all the time me?-Omaha

been no war; and it has forced all
those countries outside the war
zone to look to the United States for
their needed supplies. So, when Sen
ator Furnifold Simmons declares that
instead of surrendering our markets
to the foreigner, we have invaded and
captured his it is quite apparent that
this is not due to Democratic Com
mercial policies, but to the misfortune
of Europe.
The question of how to hold a fair
portion of the trade with neutral zones
which we have captured while Europe
was at war is the most important
question with which we will have TO
deal in the future. The advantage of
full mill capacity of operation in low
ering the unit cost of production must
have appealed to our manufacturers
during the past year, even as the
benefits to be derived from full time
work and increased wages must have
appealed to the mill operatives. With
the cessation of the war there will be
millions OF men in Europe who will
be obliged to enter European mills to
make living. Competition will be an
a scale never before dreamed of. If our
uoiilc lHdlhSl - tIlOWH open 10 the
foreigner through the agency of a
Democratic tariff law, our manufacture
ers will be obliged to curtail produc-
ton. This will reduce wages, throw
labor out of employment and greatly
increase the unit cost of production.
In other words, as the home market
is restricted the ability of the Ameri-
can manufacturer to compete with
Europeans in the Far East and Latin
America will be cut off, A fair share
of his own market must be preserved
to the American manufacturer in or
der that he may turn an undivided at
tention to those markets which he
now finds so profitable to exploit. This
can be brought about only by re-
turn to the protective tariff policy,
which means the election of Repub-
1ican administration.

Business and Finances

Investment bankers have been vigor-
ously pointing out the benefits of bond
buying during the period of easy
money, but the probabilities are that
with the indicated hardening or
money rates the prices of bonds will
ease off somewhat.
Money
The rate for call money in New
York this week advanced to 6 per
cent, the highest point reached for
over year. This is significant in
view of the reported hardening of the
money market in the interior points
in recent weeks, and the predictions
of prominent Middle West bankers to
the effect that higher rate for money
would prevail in a short time. The
general strength in money rates is
based no doubt upon expectations of
important demands for funds in the
near future. These demands contem-
plate a recognition of the crop NOV
ing period as we'll as of the require
ments of foreign governments. Though
the official announcement has not
been made, it is known that French
loan calling for $l00,O0OOOO is on the
point of formal conclusion and there
is reason to believe that this will take
the. form of an Offering of debntures
which are expected to appeal to Amer
lean investors. Meanwhile the con-
| cededly large quantities of British
| owned American securities that are
| coming forward will have to be f.
nanced in one of two forms; either
they will be sold outright or will be
used as collateral for loans. In any
event they mean the tying up OF
funds on this side of the Atlantic
If sold outright, the purchasers will
very likely deposit them in large
measure as collateral for bank loans.
On the other hand, if they are not to
be sold, they will be deposited as col
lateral for a British credit of MANY
millions of dollars, and will in turn
be utilized. it is understood, as basis
for debntures or collateral bonds to
be sold to American investors. What
ever form the transaction takes means
demand for American funds. The
receipt of another shipment of gold
from Ottawa this week is indicative
of the fact that the British Govern
ment is still keeping in touch with
monetary conditions on this side of
the ocean. 1t is also known that
direct shipment of $25,OOO,OOO in
American securities reached this port,
on Monday.
Thus far the banks have made COM
paratively little use of the rediscount-
ing privileges of the Federal Reserve
System. Should the demand for
funds become heavy the resources of
the new banking system could and
should be called upon to proportion
ately increased extent, and thus
direct benefit to banks as we'll as to
business would accrue. The new
check collection system which is to
be inaugurated today will further pro-
vide for the transfer of reserve funds
to local centers, and swell the loaning
resources of interior banks The
present situation is one that calls for
very careful consideration of condi-
tons and events.

WAR CAUSE OF
BIG TRADE BALANCE
American Industry Beneficiary of Par
alyzed Europe

Washington, July 1o-(Special cor
respondence) -According to the fig
ures issued by the Department Of
Commerce we sent to Europe during
the first 20 months of the war, August
1914 March 1916, inclusive, in round
numbers, $3,o80, 100000 worth of goods
while we received from Europe goods
to the value of $oS0,000,00O making a
balance of trade in our favor for this
period of $3.0OO,0000OO. That means
that an average of $l5O,OOO,O0 a
month net. for 20 months, has been
pouring into the arteries of the Amer
lean industrial system from Europe
alone. And yet, despite figures sent
out by his own department, Mr.. Red
held has the consumate nerve to as
sert, and the Democratic party the
brazen effrontery to declare that war
orders have little to do with our tenn
porary prosperity.
With the exception of Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and The Neither
lands. the four gateways to Germany,
and Spain, every country in Europe is
either at war or underarms. The four
countries surrounding Germany are
serving as conduits for American mu-
nltions going to the Central powers.

field boosted as being strictly neutral
is being slowly strangled, a situation
which threatens us with international
complications with the blockading
powers.
Our export trade to Greece is
normally under $l,250,OOO annually
During the ten months ended April
1918, it leaped to $22,0OO,0oO, and for
the ten months ended April, 1916, it
was $27,000,0OO. Greece fears any min
ute to be thrown into the frey fur
mace OF Europe, and she is preparing.
If Europe could send us less than
billion dollars worth of goods in 20
months it follows that her export
trade with the rest of the worli was

served a two fold purpose: 1t has pro-
tected American manufacturers and
