Through four years Of almost unparalleled
difficulty he has guided his people along
paths OF honor and preparedness to goals OF
peace and prosperity He has compelled the
war-Inad ruler OF war-mad nation, so far
at least as America is concerned. to yield UNI
willing allegiance to humanity and law. He
has kept out of the maestrom which has
cngulfed Europe. He has led the successful
fight for great constructive legislation. which
has banishcd thee spc2ter Of panic. freed bust
ness from its letters. encouraged the farmer
to expand his enterprises, established the
workingman in his rights. and placed the ban
of national disapproval on the crying evil Of
child labor.
His course in this campaign mas been
inspiration TO all forward-looking men.
Target of vile abuse from every batherskite
in the land. he has maintained that serene
composure which comes Of conscious recti-
tudc. Attacked in his personal character. as
well as for his political policies. AS were
Washington. Jefferson. Lincoln and Clevc-
land. he has declined to answer in kind.
His campaign addresses contrast with those
OF his opponent and his opponents satellites
as light with darkness. They have dealt
with great issues in great way. The Presi-
dents appeal has been based on tho record
of his administration. The people know, If
Wilson is re elected just what sort OF govern
ment with what ideals. purposes. methods
and aspirations. will rule at Washington.
Reading the speeches of Hughes and Roosc-
welt the editorials of the New York Tribune

High Cost OF Living's Cause

ONE of the ridiculous Republican argu-
~ mcnts in the campaign just closed has
heen the charge that the Democratic admin
istration was responsible for thc high cost
of living. That any one could be found
capa Bile Of believing browning absurdity of
this type shows the straits TO which the
critics Of President Wilson have been reduced.
High prices in this country are the direct
outcome, as Il matter of course. OF the con-
diton that prevails in Europe, The worlds
productive capacity has been cut down by
the diversion OF agricultural workers to
European armies. or TO the manufacture OF
munitions, and by the destruction The war
has wrought. The demand for food and
ralnont exceeds the supply. and prices rise
in response TO an aGes-old and ineXorable law
1t would be quite sensible to accuse
the President of responsibility for the war
itself.
For the last three months candidates and
leaders have been in the limelght. but to-
day the voters will know the Calcium's

THERE is nothing tremendously significant.
