ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed
the errors Of the present Administra-
ton and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs of the country
should be managed in the future.
There is a political logic In this por-
trayal, the elimination Of which in the
mind of the voter is expressed by the
frequent remark:
'He is the kind of man we want to
steer us through"
This has been said by many a busl-
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poise, a strong, sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
of the country. Nor is there any Ques-
ton as to the quality of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March 4, 1917.

Photoaraphs on the Wing.

Germany has employed many inge-
NOUS devices in the great war, and
surely one Of the most unique is that
Of employing carrier pigeons for TAX
ing military photographs. Some years
ago the camera employed for this pur-
pose was exhibited in Germany. It
was invented by Doctor Neubronna,
and was a wonderfully light instru-
ment, weighing only 21z ounces. Ths
lens was only Pinch focus, and the
photograph produced measured IL
inches square. One of the models
could take eight pictures in succession
on q film, while another consisted Of
twO~distinct cameras. The lens of one
pointed forwards and the other back
wards when the carrier" was in
flight. In each case the exposure
mechanism consisted of a rubber bulb
containing compressed air, by the slow
escape of which through a minute
aperture a lever was operated to re-
lease the shutter at the end of an in
terval of time which could be deter.
mined in advance.

ROOT THEM OUT

Scranton, Sept. 16 Industrial
workers of the World are accused of
setting off dynamite that wrecked
the home of Frank Loughney, of
Brock St., Pittston, early today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loughney were seri-
ously injured by the explosion, and
other members of the family had
narrow escapes.
Loughney is employed at one of
the mines where the 81. W. W..
quit work, and he refused to join
their ranks. Threats were made, it
is said, that his home would be
blown up.
The new high school in Duryea
was destroyed by fife early today,
causing a loss of $50, OOO There is
suspicion that the 81. W. WIS"
started the blaze. ."-Ex.
Many of the worst diseases that have
afflicted, and still do af1ict. our body
polite, are of foreign importation.
We have a notable illustration of this
in the outrageous career of lawlessness,
of wholesale arson and murder exhibited
by this society Of the Industrial Workers
of the World whose members are almost
if not quite all, foreigners.
These ignorant, brutal people from
Europe have for generations been
ground down under the heels of their
native tyrannies of emperor or czar,
and strange to say, the moment they
reach our lard they begin to abuse its
hospitality. Untitled to use the glori-
GUS privileges of freedom, they mistake
unbridled license for liberty, and thru
their systematic violations of all law
and order have become highly dangerous
to our country.
They should receive the same sharp
medicine that in 1877 was given another
society of foreign thugs, the Molly
Maguires, who for nearly quarter of a
century in the coal regions of Pensyl-
vania had indulged in like riotous
campaign of burning, Intimidation and
murder. President MCGOWAN of the B.
& O. railroad, then state prosecuting
attorney, broke the Society up by bring
ing many of its members to the gallows.
These l. W. of the W. are a set of
vicious anarchists defying all law and
common right with their bombs and
torches, and should be hunted down like
SO many ravening wolves, to which men
justly deny all quarter and mercy.

In sinking a shaft there are few
things that a miner can encounter
which are more unwelcome to him
than a deep vein of quicksand. That
is what has been struck at Michigan
iron mine. In quicksand the ordinary
procedure of timbering down as the
excavating is done is impossible. In
most instances the work must be done
in much the same manner as a cais-
son is sunk. This makes necessary
the construction of casing by boiling
together heavy timbers equally about
a foot in thickness. At the bottom
Of each wall of this timbered Chin
ney" a cutting shoe is trimmed on
the inside so as to assist the shaft in
sinking under its own weight. All the
material beneath the walls Of the
structure is in this way squeezed, or
cut, into the confines of the casing,
while the latter gradually sinks as the
excavating is carried on. AS rapidly
as the shaft sinks into the earth addi.
tional timbers are bolted in place
on top, this operation continuing until
rock is encountered.

THE NATION Is SHOCKING
LY UNPREPARED.


Il l. apparent that we are
shockingIy unprepared. There
is no room TOR controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
Qess, 1 believe, than 100000 are
there or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that Is, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces In
order to prevent bandit incur
sions. In view Of the warnings
of the past three years, it Is
inexcusable that we should find
ourselves in this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, I have Tothing but
praise. But / think it little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
Offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however,
is not all. The units of the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
It was necessary to bring in
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours of military drill, and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not a very grave
one. It involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance, and required
only a modest talent for organ
ization. That this Administra-
ton while pursuing its course
in Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist Is al
most incredible.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.

SPEECHES.

"What is the Presidents pol
icy-does anyone know? Has
the Executive ever had a policy
for more than six months on
the Mexican question:"
"If l am elected President /
will see to it that American
rights in Mexico are respected"
"There is no man who could
successfully present to an Amer
lean community the platform
that an American citizens
rights stop at the coast line"
1--WE will get through with
this old strife between capital
and labor. We are not labOrers
and capitalists in this country.
We are fellOw-citizens."
"An that the workingmen
want is a square DEAL"
1--WE want the United States
efficiently managed. 1 want to
see men in office who believe
: in prosperity"
"The Republican Party stands
for a prosperity produced by
sound American policies"
1--WE have removed from OHce
men of experience and substi-
tuted others to satisfy partisan

WILSON'S BAD EXAMPLE

KTEW YORK CITY has big railway
IN strike on hand, and Theodore
Shonts, the head of two of the largest
companies, curtly refuses to arbitrate
the difficulty.
This sort of arrogance was formerly
the usual attitude of Capital towards
Labor. In the great Coal Strike Roose-
velt insisted upon arbitration, and since
then both Capital and Labor had been
showing a disposition to settle these
contests peacefully, until Mr.. Wilson in
his itch for office and thinking thereby
to capture the labor vote repudiated
arbitration, by encouraging the train
meG in the late railroad difficulty to take
the unreasonable position of refusing
this rational method Of settling their
troubles
hlrs WllSOu IuuS UCllDSI dICiy lCAAI LilA-
self to the evil cause that would use the
bludgeon in place of arbitration, and his
reactionary act that sought to undo the
good wiser men had accomplished after
long years of struggle, is already bear
ing fruit in this arbitrary refusal of Mr..
Shonts to arbitrate his railway strike.
Will the country suffer MIR. Wilson in
this mad fashion to tear down the useful
edifice of Arbitration Roosevelt and
others builded, and upon its ruins to
erect some lawless temple of Anarchy?
Never. They will shortly thrust him
out of the great trust he has with his
manifold follies and selishness abused
so miserably.

HOME OF AVERAGE MAN.

But America is not simply a
land for the man of special tai
ent or of distinguished aptitude.
This is the home of the average
man, the ordinary man who is
doing his best, whatever, by tai
ent or aptitude and in our large
industrial occupations where
thousands are gathered together
in one service, we want a recOg-
milton of human brotherhood In
providing for the welfare of
those who make the wealth of
this great country.
1--WE want wOrkingmen to be
safeguarded from every injury
that can be prevented. We
want the health Of the work
lngmen looked after; every
means provided which conduces
to the proper standpoint Of liv-
ing; every means provided for
proper recreation; appropriate
means for education, for vOca
tional training. In short the
workingman who is on the job
and expects to continue in that
job ought to feel that he is doing
something worth while for a
community that appreciates 1t
and gives him a fair chance to
lead a happy and decent life

OUR SANITARY INEFFIcIENcY.

OOR SANl ANY INEFTISIENSI u
Sanitary practices in this country
are, justly condemned in the last re-
port of the United States public
health service on typhoid. The state
ment that last year 10000 deaths were
recorded and that 400, 900 persons were
incapacitated shows that there is a
substantial basis for the starting Of
aE educational compaign." That thou
sands Of lives can be saved every year
by intelligent work is certain, because
typhoid is a disease that can be pre-
vented. Polluted drinking water is
the most common carrier of typhoid.
Too little attention is given to the
drainage of large watersheds from
which city supplies are taken and to
the keeping of filth out of springs and
wells in the country districts. Care
lessness and ignorance are the under
lying causes of the epidemics in cities
and the isolated cases on the farms,
and there is no excuse for either In
these days Of sanitary research and
achievement. An interesting section
Of the report is the one on anti
typhoid inoculation or vaccination"-
the popular notion that this remedy
is infallible is contradicted. "The
protection is relative, not absolute"
incubation is mot to be regarded as
a substitute for sanitation" the report
says. Life and health are best con-
served by keeping the typhoid germs
out Of water supplies.
