CHE DIDN'T DO RIGHT
independent Voters Turning This Con-
viction Over and Over in Their
Minds and 1t Will Cost Mr..
Wilson Many Vote.

A Democrat who never voted for a
Republican candidate for President ex-
cept in 1872, when he was forced by
the lack of a Democratic nominee to
cast his ballot for Horace Greeley,
says: Il expect to vote for Woodrow
Wilson. but 1 don't like his course in
the railroad dispute. He didn't do
right
The railroad controversy has intro
duced a moral issue into the campaign.
Mr.. Wilson sacrificed principle to ex-
pediency, or what he judged to be
expediency, when he tamely surren-
dered to the demands of the train
service brotherhoods.
He put his own personal and party
need before the public good. He angled
for votes. He aimed a body blow at
the tried and tested arbitration method
of settling differences.
God help you; cannot" he is said
to have exclaimed to the railroad man
ayers, who do not poll as many votes
as their employees. But he could have
helped them If he had stood impartial
ly between them and the utterly reck-
less train-service representatives
who were bent on their rule-or-ruin
programme.
HE didn't do right" The consci-
BUSINESS of that fact is sinking deep
into the American mind.
"He didn't do right" That wide
spread conviction will cost him thou
sands of votes on election day.
HE didn't do right" He preferred
the weak, the timid, attitude OF the
born COMPROMISED.
The American people like courage.
The like convictions. They like a
man who has the courage of his con-
victions. They like a man who is
willing to risk consequences for the
sake of a just cause.
1t was an unjust cause In which
Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he ac-
cepted the brotherhood view that the
chief item in their demands could not
be Observation-Disclosures Journal.

While Democrats Are Admittedly the
Champion Question Fiends, Il IL
Believed This Quiz Is as In
answerabIe as Their Most
ChiidIike Effort

If election day were past would
President Wilson make so little of the
principle Of arbitration in industrial
disputes? Would he be so sure that
it is more important to preserve peace,
when great strike is threatened, than
It IS to make judicial methods rather
than force the means OF settling diff
ferences between capital and labor?
If election day had come and gone
would Mr.. Wilson keep the national
guardsmen of the country in camp on
the ground that they may be needed
to protect the United States against
Mexico? Would there be months of
inaetion and indecisfon In which no
use Is made of large body of citizen
soldfers7 Would they not be allowed
to go home or else be set in motion to
make Mexico as safe neighbor as the
Administration seems to think that it
Is already?
If election day were past would the
President drive through Congress a
bill like the shipping bill which is In
tended to embark the federal govern
ment upon a new venture in a hazard
Gus field and use $4,000 900 of the
peoples money to buy tonnage held
above its normal value or else so
owned that it cannot be used without
peril of international complications?
Is sound public policy behind such
measure or only campaign politics?
If election day were not to be con-
sidered would Woodrow Wilson use so
many high and mighty words in inter
national notes and do so little to make
them mean anything practical? Would
his deeds lag so far behind his
hrases?-Cleveland Leader

FIVE THOUSAND A DAY.
EnroIiments in the Hughes National
College League.

The Hughes National College
League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York,
is receiving enrollments at the rate
of five thousand a day. They are
coming from all parts OF the country.
and the work of organizing branches
In all states and most of the important
cities has been started. A large per-
centage of the enrollments are from
men who give their usual political
affiliations as Progressive, Democratic
or Independent.
The league has received the en-
dorsement of Governor Hughes, who
wired: If there was ever a time
when the educated men of the country
who have its welfare at heart should
work for right principles and strong
government 1t is now" Chairman
WILCOX of the Republican National
Committee, ex-President Taft, and
John Hays Hammond have also praised
the work enthusiastically, as much on
the score of the benefit to the men
themselves as OF the real work it will
do to help elect Governor Hughes.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that is by a chnstitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forevever. Many cases of deafness
are caused by cattarrh, which is an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cnre acts
through the blood on the mucuous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists,

A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Po-vder2
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know. IS that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.

TO the right of merchant ships to car
ry defensive armament. Originally
the Berlin government denied that il
was legal for merchant ships to arm
at all Now some officials here con-
slider that Germany also is willing to
admit that armament is legal If pure
ly defensive. In other words, II Is
believed the German government
actually Is attempting to change the
rules rather than the law.
Size and Number OF Guns.
Should the subject be opened up
for discussion the state department
may, II was said, be willing to admit
that there should be some regulation
regarding the size and use of defcn-
sive armament supplementary to the
instructions to port authorities issued
September 8, 1915. which permit
merchant ships to clear from Amer
lean ports provided they are TO carry
no more than two guns mounted aft
of not more than six-inch caliber. AS
a matter of fact, no merchant ships
ever have come into American waters
with the maximum Of armament pro-
vided for. Indications that this qucs-
ton would be opened for discussion
resulted from publication of conf
dental advices from Berlin which
forecast q request from Germany to
the United States to define defensive
armament.
State department officials were en-
phatic in saying that while additional
limitations nigh be placed upon the
defensive armament that may be car
ried, such action could not be extend
ed to require the complete exclusion
of armament That would be equiva-
lent, 1t is held, to a change Of inter-
national law which cannot be made
dafi.... the course &c hoatili, u eSeel
by general assent. There are strong
limitations that the entente allies will
not consent to such a change.
