The "HoId-Up" Issue
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

In his speeches in the Middle West,
Mr.. Hughes is attacking with renewed
vigor the shameful surrender of the
President and Congress 60 the de-
mandb OF the four railroad brother
hoods. IL is announced that President
Wilson will try to defend that sur
render in a speech to be delivered at
Shadow Lawn next Saturday. This is
sue Is therefore certain to bulk large
in the six weeks that are left of the
Presidential campaign.
The Republican party will welcome
a clear-cut fight on the Administra-
tons abandonment Of the principle Of
arbitration in railroad wage disputes
and Congress- panic-stricken purchase
of peace with the railroad unions at
their own price. From every point of
view, except that of the poor hOld-up
victim who gives up his valuables in
order to avoid trouble, that purchase
OF peace at any price was indefens-
ible. The President repudiated a prin-
ciple which society heartily approves
(Which he himself approves except
when he is called upon to defend it
at what he considers a risk to his po-
litical fortunes) and which the Fed
eral Government has been trying for
years to establish through the crea-
ton OF boards OF mediation and other
machinery Cor securing arbitration.
Congress flung away its self-respect
and abdicated its legislative functions
when it passed che spurious eight
hour law, under a time-limit ultima
tum from the brotherhood leaders
and embodying the exact terms of set
tlement which they had insisted upon.
The so-called "eight-hour" law was
an eight-hour law only in name. Had
Congress undertaken to pass an act
restricting a days labor on railroads
to eight hours, the brotherhoods
themselves would have fought it and
undoubtedly have killed IL. They were
interested not in limiting a days
work to eight hours. but in compelling
the railroads to pay the present ten
hour wage scale for eight hours
work Their fight was primarily a
fight for higher wages.
Neither the President nor Congress
was qualified to pass upon the merits
OF this demand for higher pay. The
Federal Government has assumed alb
solute control of the railroads. so far
as the regulation of their earning
power is concerned. Congress has
limited the income Of the carriers.

thrifty for the benefit of those who
have not accumulated. who never
wanted to accumulate and who never

Of course it may be that the neral
tone of the American people is so low,
that they will vote to sustain Pres'-
dent Wilson In his unfair war on
thrift simply because they are not
the sufferers; but again the thought
arises that there is some fairness IN
the American people when a question
is submitted to them. and not to such

To the Editor of The Sun:-Sir
I notice that our President in
his speech Of acceptance states that
the President has walked where
there was no path, and has left a
trail" He has certainly delved into
darkness where no American has ever
dared to go before, and the trail that
he has left behind, is indeed interest
ing. In some OF the footprints one
can find the following legislation,
which speaks for itself:
The law applying to the mercantile
marine. which has practically driven
it from the seas, throwing the little
shipping trade that we had into the
hands of foreigners;
The law that a labor trust is the
only kind that cannot be prosecuted,
all this in the face of his plea as
spokesman" and advocate for fair
dealing with all the people;
The advocacy of arbitration so long
as both parties are willing to arbi-
trate, and the final unfolding of those
who are not willing to arbitrate;
The signing of the pork barrel"
bills. such as the nitrate plant bill, the
good roads bill, and river and harbor
bills. which have practically favored
the constituents of our Southern Rep
resentatives:
The establishment OF a tariff law
which will enable our country to be
flooded with foreign goods at the ex-
pense of our own manufacturers and
the American workmen:
The bill which establishes the prin-
ciple OF man being compelled to
have his private affairs made public
as a privilege for paying the income
tax;

The State Board Of Education has
given much study to the public school
system of Delaware and the Commits

ing the paragraph denouncing President Wilson IN
heavy type. THE JOURNAL should print the German
flag instead Of the Stars and Stripes its editorial
page.
In his statement Mr. Won Bose takes exception 20
the criticism that has been heaped upon the heads OF
German Americans. He should remember that il is
just such men himself who publish articles extol
ing the virtues Of the Kaiser and condemnng the Pres
dents course in his controversy with Germany. to-
gether with the bitter proGeman editorials that have
appeared in the German newspapers OF this country
that have subjected German-American population
TO such criticism he mentions.
Mr. Bosse also takes occasion to say that the OPP
position OF the German American vote is not only d.
rected against Wilson but several others well.
among whom Is Roosevelt Yet they will vote to elect
the man whom Roosevelt is calling his candidate. This
is very brilliant logic indeed We venture to say, how
ever, that every patriotic Democrat OF Delaware is
very well satisfied to have the Rev Won Bosse lined up
against President Wilson, for IL that particular gen.
eman were to announce his support Of the President
we would doubt whether Wilson is the proper man
after ALL to elect We want the affairs OF this country
directed by real American President.

discretion have been dethroned by Democratic fear

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub IL in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky bright, fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

fore the proper body to determine to
what extent railroad wages ought TO
be advanced, since it controls the rail-
road wage fund and must accept re-
spOnsibility for furnishing the rev
enue needed TO meet wage increases.
Instead of saying that the claims OF
the raildoad employees were not arbi-
trable, Mr., Wilson should have told
the brotherhood leaders that they
were arbitrable and could be justly
arbitratad only by the Federal Com
mission through which the earning
power and entire economic status OF
the railroads are regulated.
A general strike on the carriers en-
gagged in interstate commerce would
be an absurdity at the present adj
vanced stage of government regula-
ton. It would be a defiance Of ma
tional sovereignty. II 1t is necessary
TO protect the public against excessive
freight and passenger dates, 1t is
equally necessary to protect It against
the interruption Of railroad service.
Compulsory arbitration of wage dis
putes is lust as essential as compul-
sorry reduction Of railroad charges.
Here is a momentous question at
fecting national sovereignty and ma
tional efficiency And on it Mr.. Hughes
is absolutely right, and Mr.. Wilson is
absolutely wrong.
The Republican party does not fear
to submit this issue to the people.
Four hundred thousand railroad EN-
ployes. most OF them the highest paid
in their trade, took the President and
Congress by the throat and forced a
wage increase out of them without
consideration or argument. But the
great mass Of the people-the farm
ers. the small merchants, the workers
I in industry outside the railroads
will have to pay eventually for this
increase through higher freight rates.
It is the case of a small but well
organized fraction OF the public hold
ing up the entire country.
Such tactics cannot be allowed to
preNail. We do not believe that any
amount of irrelevant argument about
the desirability Of an eight-hOur day
Ga question which was not before the
President and Congress) will confuse
the real situation. In the public in
terest fuller national control of the
railroads is imperative The rule that
railroad wage disputes must be sub
mitted to government arbitration must
be established, and now is the time
to establish it,
The greater the prominence given
to this issue the better will those who
are working for Republican success
be pleased.

County Primaries Saturday, Sep

While the county offices have but lit

voter to use his best judgment in the
selection OF these men. Choose those

there are hosts Of candidates. AS

Let every man go to the polls. use
his business judgment and select
those men for public affairs that he
would choose to conduct his own.
Such selection will do credit TO the

primary the Democratic Ring in Dover "hogged" the
county ticket That being true, II is only natural that
Democrats in other sections Of the midland county

That the trouble has been sensed by the men who
control the Dover Democratic machine is indicated by
the following editorial comment in the Dover State
News Of the leading Democratic papers in the
midland county:
II is secret that at the recent primaries four Of
the six candidates nominated for the county offices
residents OF Dover nearby, and that two OF
the holdover offices are held by Dover men, Naturally
the county feel badly about such an unequal division
the Offices and yet the fault does not lie with any
set of men. IL is due entirely TO the fact that
the largest percentage Of the voting strength OF the
county is in the vicinity Of Dover. and naturally the
candidates from this section gained the largest num-
Der OF votes II Is unfortunate that such is the case
and no regrets it more than the Democrats OF
Dover themselves but under such circumstances the
result could hardly be avoided. The Democratoc County
Committee should endeavor to restore the county

that Dover hogged OF the places the ticket be-

chinery in motion to effect that result How well the
Ring played its hand is shown by the following nomi
