WILSON PLEASED
BY DEMONSTRATION
Railroad Men Cheered Him Heartily as
He Passed Through New York,
En- Route for Chicago.

| New York, Oct l9-President vii
son, before leaving the Grand Contra
terminal at | O'Clock yesterday afternoon
for Chicago, where he is to make three
speeches, received greeting from several
hundred New York Central railroad EN-
ployes, all, of course, of the eight hour
day. The president arrived at the ter
minal and boarded his private car during
the mems lunch hour, so that many were
free to gather for the celebration.
Songs improvised by or arranged in ad-
vance for James A. Dalton, brakeman,
succeeded in getting the president to
the rear end of his car for speech DIAL
ton stood in the pit of the track and
when the cheering died down inserted his
verse. As the poetry" did not bear
the stamp of the Democratic campaign
committee, it is said to have tickled the
president hugely when repeated to him
later.
Songs Cheer the Start.
The first demonstration by Dalton was
as follows:
Horray for Wilson,!
America first;
Hughes is rotten
Benson's worse.
Ex Gov. Martin II. Glynn and Am
bassador Henry d. Morgenthau, who were
chatting with the president inside the
car, prcked up their ears. Cheers fol-
lowed the fight of song and the brake
man was encouraged to try again as fol-
lows:
Vote for Wilson,
Scratch Hughes,
Join the union
Pay your dues.
'Hooray, ray, ray! Speech, speech
Hooray for the eight hour day mani"
The chorus to Dalton's fiery quatrains
sent Secretary Tumulty into the car to
remind the president that little speech
would be in order and the president re-
sponded in way that captivated the
workmen.
you know that I'm not going to
make a speech" the president said, but |

'The American people are being asked
to put in peril the peace and prosperity
the country is now enjoying, under Pres
ident Wilson, by turning their govern
ment over to the inexperienced Mr.
| Hughes, and the organized band of in
compatible elements which are support

months they have condemned every act
of the Democratic administration in the
most unfair and untruthful manner, but
the American people are still without a
definite answer from Mr.. Hughes as to
what they will do with the government,
If they get possession of it. The only
definite thing we have had during the
campaign came from Colonel Roosevelt,
who said at Battle Creek, discussing the
Lusitania "You ask me what l would
have done. | would have seized every
interned German ship"
Mr.. McAdoo then quoted Germany's
declaration of war on Portugal because
of seizures of German ships by that coun-
try, and added:
"Mr. Roosevelt's action would have re-
suited in war between the United States
and Germany And now comes Mr..
Hughes and admits, as far as he is ever
definite. his accord with the bellicose at
titude of Mr. Roosevelt. This is shown
by his reply at Louisville to the question
as to what he would have done in the
Lusitania case He said, in substance,
that he would have threatened the kaiser
so effectively that the Lustania would
never have been sunk This is charac-
teristic evasion, for Mr.. Hughes was
asked what he would have done after the
Lusitania had been sunk. | challenge
him to answer that question.
"Who can doubt that if Mr.. Hughes is
made president, Mr.. Roosevelt will be the
influence and direct foreign
and domestic policies ?"
Taking up domestic affairs, Mr. Nc
Adoo said that the Democratic admins

which "the reserve money of the banks

SAFETY FIRST.

Cutting the observation-disclosures bill
rom S143 to ST for year by merely
applying a few simple safety first
health practices is the record of the
J. A. Donald family, who live in north.
Western Iowa. 1t is family of three
members.
In 1914 the doctor bill for the Don
Id family, who were all in ordinarily
good health, was: doctor, calls, $50:
Nurse, two weeks, $50; dentist, $33
Six of the doctors visits were made
o treat the sons neglected cold; the
nurse bill came at this time, also. One
all was to treat neglected wound in
Mr.. Donald's hand; three to treat Mr.
Oonalds indigestion, caused by eating
too much greasy food. The dentist
dill was for work on neglected teeth
Mrs. Donald decided much Of this
illness could be avoided. She bought
book on dietetics, one on home nurs
ng and a supply of antiseptics and
dressings. She studied the books. Ev
cry small wound was instantly clean
I'd and dressedr She insisted that
each member of the family get eight
hours sleep at night. She prepared
he meals TO meet the needs of the
family. Result:
The only doctor bill incurred was
SO for a slight nasa[operation and a
dentists bill of 81 for cleaning the
seeth and making one small filling.
Commenting on her experience, Mrs
Donald said that of course she real
zed that not every family could re-
luce expenses to such an extent, but
she believes that in most cases much
'amily illness can be simply handled
n time to make healthier family and

AFrER rag WAR.

The population of Bridgeport, Con-
necticut, was about 100000 before the
war. Today it IS 100000. Bridge
port is one of the great munition CEN
tiers, which accounts for this go per
cent increase in population. This
addition OF 900 munition makers to
the Bridgeport population means
wonderful opportunity for Bridgeport
merchants to sell their goods, and for
Connecticut farmers to dispose OF
their products. Therein lies their
share of our war order prosperity.
But what is the logical consequence
of a cessation of the European war?
Bridgeport munition-making actiyi'
ties will practically cease, and many
thousands OF. operatives will be laid
off. Shortly thereafter, if the VIII
son-Underwood tariff law is to be
continued, the Bridgeport manufac,
turers will encounter the severe com
petition sof an industrially reorgan'
lied Europe, large industry OF
our European competitors receiving
the backing of its government. This
must of necessity curtail the opera
ton of the Bridgeport manufacture
ers. and curtailed operations mean a
| higher cost of productions A mill
operating at IS per cent capacity can
produce nowhere near as cheaply as
a mill running at 100 per cent ca
pacity, Finally the wheels will
cease to turn and the laborers EN-
ployed even in normal periods under
protective policy, will be laid OF
under the present near4free-trade
policy. The Bridgeport merchants
yill be unable to turn over theil
stocks with profit, and the Connect
cut farmers will no longer fint
Bridgeport a profitable market fol
their produce. s.... .....
And the condition which the Demo
cratic tariff law will create in Bridge
port is typical of what, may be eX
lected throughout the country, undel
| he Democratic tariff policy.

SAFEGUARDING FOODS.

In the enforcement Of the Food
md Drugs Act during the last year,
q. S. Department of Agriculture off,
Gals anlyzed 1888 samples of foods
and drugs offered for interstate ship
ment and for import. A physical
examination was made of samples
from 76,46S shipments offered for i'm
port. OF these foreign shipments,
o,353 were found to violate the law
in some respects and were either ex-
Guided from the country or admitted
Jnly after the importers had relabel-
ed them to comply with the law. OF
the samples of domestic products an
alyzed $685., either because of the ma
ture of the product or because the
label on it did not tell the truth,
were found to be in violation of the
Federal law. In 1864 cases the De-
partment recommended to the De-
partment of Justice that criminal
prosecution be instituted against the
manufacturers or that the goods be
seized In many cases where there
was no evidence of intention to de-
fraud, and where there was merely
some easily remedied flaw in the
wording of label. the shippers, af-
ter being warned in hearings, volun-
tarily took steps which made their
products fully comply with the re-
quirements. In all, there We're held
S,715 such hearings, many of which
resulted in the prosecutions indicat-
ed and the gathering OF evidence for
a large number of additional cases,
which will be forwarded to the De
partment of Justice.
