Prices and the Ttariff.

Before we began to make our own steel rails English manufacturers charged us more than three times as much per ton for steel rails we bought from them as American manufactur- CTS have since charged for millions of tons of these rails. When any Amer ican industry is sufficiently protected it is sure to get into the market and to break down the prices maintained by a foreign monopoly. The foreign producer can charge what he pleases whenvhe can control our markets, and with his cheaper labor and generally cheaper cost of production it is easy for him to monopolize our markets unless our own manufacturers and wage earners are protected by a tar if which covers the difference in the cost of production here and abroad What has happened in the case of steel rails has happened in the case of many other articles of manufacture Philadelphia Telegraph.

What Would You Have Done?

The parrot cry, What would you have done?" seems to be the only an- swer the democrats are capable of offering to MT. Hughes scathing ar raignment of the vacillations and blunders of the federal administra- ton. To refuse to meet the criticisms of the republican candidates, to re- frain from any defense of the poli- cies and measures that are under at tack, and to attempt to reverse the positions of assailants and defenders in the battle that is now in progress, is too much like a plea of confession and avoidance to pass for good strate- gy.
 It is quite enough for MT. Hughes to make 1t plain what he would not have done with respect to matters he has criticised, and this he is doing with emphasis and force. He is deal- ing with something concrete. He has

CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION

In opening his campaign for reelec- tion Governor Capper of Kansas sets forth to the people of that state sit uation which while intended for their consumption alone might we'll get the thoughtful consideration of the people of every other.
 In speaking of Kansas and its future he says: Our need is not more laws, but greater respect for those we have. We constantly make too many laws. We actually have need of very little new legislation and it should be con- structive legislation"
 Tn what state of the union could Governor Capper have gone and not said the same thing and have it apply equally as well as it does in the state of Kansas? There is a great tendency to do lot of lawmaking. The inclina- ton is to fill up the statute books with many laws which are forgotten as soon as they are made. New laws are passed in a great many instances simply because there has not been an enforcement of those which are al- ready at hand. The result is that they are constantly piling up in number but they are not serving to meet the re- uuirements of the commonwealth any more efficiently.
 Constructive legislation Is something which every state needs to engage in and in addition it IS as important that such lawseas are made should be en- acted with the idea. that they are go- Ing to be respected. Otherwise the lawmakers might just as well devote Eheir time and efforts to their regular line of work. and that is a criticism which Is frequently heard today fol- owing much that is put down as leg slative action.

POLITICAL
pr. Wiley to Vote for Hughes.


 q favor the election of MT. Hughes to the Presidency for entirely differ ent reasons than those held by most of his supporters. It is not because of the Mexican policy nor the foreign policy Of the Administration nor by reason of it's domestic policies. It is because of the apparent indifference of the Administration Of President Wilson to the cause of pure food and drugs. Practically all of the abuses which were injected into the Pure Food Law by the preceding Admins trations are still in force. B4nzoate of soda is still regnant. The fumes of burning sulphur are marching along undisturbed. There is evidently lull in the activities of the Administration of the law. A well-know beverage, de- clared by the Supreme Court mis- branded and amenable to the Food Law has not been molested. No at tempt has been made to enforce the law in regard to the bIeachinge of flour. The repal of the mixed Hour law, that splendid safeguard to the purity of our bread, has been tacitly approved by the Treasury Department
 t'Mr. Hughes in his activities on stone wall for the proper Administra- tion of the Food Law. I believe his election would see a radical change in the attitude of the government to- wards pure food and pure drugs, so vital to the welfare of our people For this reason, I sincerely hope that MT. Hughes may be chosen as our next President.
 T should expect MT. Hughes as President to have the same attitude toward the pure food and drug law tht he had as a judge on the bench and to apoint a secretary of agri- cultuGe with subordinate officers, who would be enthusiastic and earnest in the enforcement of the pure food law for the benefit of the physical, men, tai and moral welfare Of our people,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
- Feels No Sense of Surprise,

MT Editor: I do not feel a, sense of surprise over the modification of the traffic law The mayor has never way cred, he has seen his supporters shrink before the organized force against him, and this force is no more satis- fed today than it was before the time allowed at the curb was nearly trebled.
 NorWicvh has long suffered from poor walks, poor streets. poor crosswalks (most of which have been taken out so the automobilists will not be too severely jounced), a handicapped fire protection and a bull -dozed police pro- lection (the police have to be very careful who they arrest for mis- deneaners and how they interfere with the people who ride in motor car- riagIC. I see the automobile law vii plated every day fagrantly; and the general air of the men who drive their cars through our business streets from 20 to 40 miles an hour is: "Who cares for law? Who is afraid?'
 So long. as Norwich represents ex- cessive license in every direction it cannot expect to enjoy a good repu- tation.

By his address at Shadow Lawn President Wilson has offered his de- fense for the action taken in bringing about the Adamson law. He has ad- mitted therein that he immediately took sides in the controversy between the railroad employees and the roads and supported the eight hour day pro- position because he does not be- lieve it arbitrable and because it has Inc sanction of society. Here he indi- cates that the legislation is for the purpose of securing the eight hour day when as a matter of fact the whole purpose behind the demand for an eight hour day has been the securing of an increase in wages, for there is nothing in the law which says that the railroad employees must stop after they have completed eight hours work. the period in which the president says "a man does better work than he does within a more extended day" for it is expected that the same hours which have been worked in the past will continue to make up the railroad mems day. but the ten hour days pay will be secured in eight hours and thereafter the rate will be half as much again. and this is not of course for all workingmen, or for all railroad employees but simply for four classes of them, who had the country by the throat and under the presidents di- rection congress yielded without a struggle.
 What the country thinks of this ac- tion has been revealed by the action of the voters in Maine. No better ex- pression could come from the south than that which has already been given by the press of that part of the country. The presidents defense of his action is no more convincing than his course in dealing with tho matter.

LESS AFRAID OF THE RAIDERS.

Tn spite of the havoc which they arc expected to cause, and which to a large extent they actually accomplish by destroying buildings and taking the lives of defenseless people, the Zeppe- lin raiders are nevertheless giving the British some excellent practice in per fecting their defense against such ae- rial operations.
 It is quite evident also that the Brit ish are taking full advantage of it for not only have they established their anti-aircraft guns at points where they will be of the greatest value in attacking such invaders, but they have also arranged an elaborate system of powerful searchlights for spotting the high fiiers and have a fleet of high powered aeroplanes with skiIful oper- ators for driving off the bomb drop pers
 The best evidence of the value of these preparations is the results which have recently obtained. It was only few days ago that the L-21 was brought to earth near London and to which two more were added by the latest raid which demonstrates that the British are showing steady i'm provernent in the use of their defenses. To lose one Zeppelin on the occasion of each raid is expensive and when two are brought down out of possibly three or four which actually take part in the London attack it must be ap- parent to the Germans that at that rate the game is not worth the candle The British at last appear to have gotten to the point where they are able to give the airships reception which is decidedly discoura ging from the view point of the visitors.
