under fear of what is going to happen to them if Woodrow Wilson and his administration is returned to power. Orators may stand in front of factory doors and deluge the place with cheap balderdash and jargon from now until the cows come home, but the working men are giving little heed to argu- ments based on a threat of hard times Charles Evans Hughes can flood the country with his oratory and paint pictures of bread lines and soup houses until the sun sets in the East; Boise Penrose and Murray Crane can prate for protection,-and by them protection is meant not a protection for workingmen but a protection of profits--until Virginia repeals its prohibition laws; but it all makes no difference The American working man is fortified this year as he never was before. The old time bugaboo that pictured death and desolation with a Democratic victory at the polls
 
 enough to scare up ghost Unem- ploy1nent and soup houses are not a part of the Democratic program, and the worlzingmen of this country knew it. They are all at work under good laws and just Government and they cannot be frightened. Further, they know that the men who demand their votes for so-called 'protection'' have no particular solicitude for the welfare of workingmen only so far as the workingmen can produce the goods. If they do not know this they will soon find out in the event that Republican President is elected with a Republican Congress in back of him ready to repeal the Federal Reserve Law. Then they will have their eyes opened. .. .

Hardly That.
(Boston Post.)

Ii Mrs, Ida Husted Harper really said. as she was quoted that the s,,f- fragists had compelled President WI son ito defy the platform on which he was elected" it is evident that she could not have read the Baltimore statement of political creed. It had no reference whatever to woman suf- frage.
 This years democratic platform, as everybody knows, declared, as did the republican platform, for the settle ment of equal suffrage by state &C., ton. The president has consistently held to that plank. If there has been any defiance it has been by Mr. Hughes, who indorsed the republican suffrage plank one night and repu- diated it next morning. That is his privilege, but if MT. Wilson had done it fancy the howls of "vacillation' from the republican editors.

Families That Go Wrong.
(Col1ier's Weekly)

One of these research bureaus has been making a, study of the causes Of such moral shipwreck as got some six hundred Philadelphia girls into correctional institutions. The out come of the investigation is de- scribed by the unemotional quarterly publication of the Am erican Statistal association in two sentences:
 The principal results of the study were to show that in large majority of cases the girls came from families in which the relationship between parents was abnormal or where one of the parents was away from home.
 The statistical evidence afforded by this study corroborates the evidence afforded by other investigations of a similar nature in this country.
 The scientific fact is that the moral qualities which we find desirable in Individuals arc very largely the re- suits of family life. The sanest thing that can be done for an orphan is to plant it in family and let it grow up, belonging somewhere. Institutions may be useful as shelters or jails, but the conditions of life therein are not likely to furnish the soil in which true character is nourished. And so, after all these years, the sociologists have come around to the position of the sentimental Victorians! There is no place like home, and the way to settle social problems is to make 1t more so Charles Dickens and some others knew that without the saving aid of statistics-but ours IS generation that must be shown.

SAVE THE PINES.

White pine trees in New England are worth s75,OoO,0oo Connecticut alone possesses a wealth of this species. The American Forestry As sociation now sends out warning that many trees in this country are doomed to destruction by the white pine blister rust, and urges that every precaution be taken to prevent spreading of the disease. It has already found secure foothold in many states in this section and in Canada.
 New York and Wisconsin have es- abolished rigid quarantine, and var ious state agricultural boards have urged that no infected white pines, or curant and gooseberry bushes, be shipped; that infected bushes, and in- fected pines be destroyed, and in some from state to state of white pine seed Hngs, goosebery or currant bushes whether they are known to be infected or not. There is no known cure for
 
 infected and spreads it steadily. The spores or seeds of the disease are blown from diseased pines to current and gooseberry bushes. They gerrnin- ate on the leaves of these bushes These leaves then produce millions of spores or seeds of the disease which are carried by the wind from the bushes to the pines, and trees infected become diseased and die.
 To help stop the spread of the dis ease then, all currant and gooseberry bushes, diseased pines and those ex- posed to infection. should be com pletely done away with. Otherwise, the wealth of pine trees in this section will be swept away, to be replaced only at the cost of great labor, money i and years.

the Mexican problem that the con- ference, which at another season might have produced results long be- fore this will undertake no practical advance until after election. IT the Mexican commissioners have reason to feel confused over the remarkable state of affairs throughout the coun- try, they must have been amazed the other evening when they heard Col onel Roosevelt speak in Brooklyn.
 The end of the campaign is near at hand and we know of but three convictions to which MT. Hughes pledges himself, equal suffrage by constitutional amendment, the filling of all post offices with classified em- ployes and finally, a protective atriff. These are scarcely the reasons why at this period in the worlds history there should be a change in presi- dents in the United States of North America. They represent a vision of the republics needs that belongs to a former and discarded school of phil osophy. '.

OVER THOUSAND U. s.
 BOYS JOINED ARMY
American Boys Seek Fortune on Foreign Battlefields While Parents Worry.

Washington, Nov. 2-Of the many unexpected duties the United States has found thrust upon it by the world war one of the strangest is that of rescuing adventurous boys who enlist in the European armies.
 There have been more than a thousand such cases since the war began, and even now letters praying for the release of young soldiers of fortune pour into the state department at the rate of fifty day. It has been necessary to assign an official to give special attention to the subject.
 The story almost always is the same. The youngster, generally between six teen and twenty, suddenly disappears and is next heard from when he writes home from Canada or England that he has had enough of war and wants to come home.
 Then follows an almost tornado like correspondence in which officials, parents, congressman and persons who think they can hurry the processes of diplomacy by their influence become sympathetic, fearful, inportunate or mandatory The red tape of govern ernmental business, however, unwinds slowly and finally the consul general in London or Ottawa, or sowewhere else or perhaps the American embassy makes representations to the foreign government and the advenurer is re- leased and sent home.
 Until recently the British govern raent has been promptly releasing all Americans under twenty-one on the request of the United States govern ment on the ground that it is illegal for such person to enlist in a foreign army without parents consent Re- gently the British government has shown disposition to reduce the age limit to eighteen when minors become of age in a military sense.

SAVE YOUR MONEY
Otherwise You May Have to Remain Unburied-COst of Undertaker's
 Supplies Going Up.

New York, Nov. 2.-The European war is held responsible for the in crease in the cost of burial supplies and consequent advance announced today by undertakers for funeral ser vices. Owing to the war, it was said, "undertakers hardware" name plates and coffin handles---has risen in price from twenty to forty per cent, due to the fact, the supply men claim, that tho chemical used to give the nickel effect is not now being import ed. It is estimated that even the cheapest collins cost $5 more than formerly.
 Wholesale dealers in burial sup rlies have notified undertakers throughout the city of a general ad- vance in the trade. To offset the ad- vance the undertakers are consider ing the dvisability of entering upon 9 campaign in favor of cremation.

 MT. Hughes has made himself very
 clear upon the subject of the Susan
 Anthony method of granting equal
 suffrage and he has now made him
 self clear upon the filling of all post
 offices by means of the merit system.
 It is true that his party has advanced
 no such views. It is as silent as the
 tomb upon them. It must also be
 true that he will never approach
 their consideration again, that is as
 president, if elected, because his con-
 ception of the office of president is
 that it should he held strictly to it's
 administrative limitations. Should he
 undertake to write the Susan B.
 Anthony brand of equal suffrage into the legislative history of the coun- try, and follow it by an attempt to throw all postmasters into the civil
 service, he would have necessarily to adopt the Wilson conception of the president and become a political lead- CT and lawnaker.
 Nevertheless we find comfort in any clear expression of conviction on MT. Hughes part. Had he met the other issues of the campaign in a like spirit of candor, he would have met far 1 different treatment at our hands. We still have a great admiration for the man, but we cannot help but be in- | fuenced by the effect upon him of the blind alley into which events have | thrust him as candidate for a party 1 that dares not have convictions upon real important subjects. Neither Mr. 1 Wilson nor Colonel Roosevelt has en- 1 countered the slightest difficulty in ] ma king their attitude towards hy- phenisn1 clear. As compared with | their vigorous phrasing of their feel l ings, Mr. Hughes with his ''undiluted Americanism,' sounds weak and 1 timid. Nor has he been more candid 1 with regard to other issues. The l country has no idea in what way. if 1 any, he would amend or expand the 1 policies of the government in our in- 1 ternationaI relations. We know so I little and the Mexican commissioners know so little of his understanding of
