Stealing Republican Stuff"

President Wilson, in his effort to set forward
his own political fortunes is guilty of what is
colloquially called Stealing stuff from the re-
publicans In his plea before the convention of
grain dealers at Baltimore, the president .elo-
quently dates on the need OF future legislation
for the benefit of American business, especially
emphasizing the importance that proper tariff
laws will have on our prosperity. Along this line
all can follow him. But he also spends some
time discussing his ideals for tariff commission,
outlining the great service possible for such a
body.
The sincerity OF the president on this point
may well be questioned, since his hearers could
not possibly have forgotten that III his first year
Of office Mr.. Wilson assisted with all the zeal
and energy Of theoretic free trader in the mutt
lation OF tariff law that had largely been pre-
pared under the advice of non-partisan tariff
commission. He also assisted in the extinction of
that commission, through the simple means Of
cutting off the appropriation that made it effec-
tive.
Mr. Wilson now confesses his error, and makes
humble apology for his action, saying: 1--WE have
admitted that we were talking theories
and managing policies without sufficient knowl-
edge OF the facts upon which we we're acting"
His admission of his blundcr is encouraging only
as proving that he has learned something by his
experience.
The tariff, however, is not the only point on
which Mr.. Wilson has veered about since he en-
tered the White House. He went in pledged to
single term, and now energies candidate for
reelection Perhaps this has something to do with
his discovery and admission Of the blunders Of
the democratic law. Is his belated, and rather
reluctant confession not another reason why he
should be retiredi Why continue him in Office
to make more mistakes even though he may later
correct them at expense Of the country?

Anthracite Ertortion
New York World

Against the recent advance in the prices of
coal by the anthracite railroads consumers are
helpless. They are the victims of greedy COM
bination whose power lies both in its possession
of the Pennsylvania mines, through ownership
and leasehold, and in its control OF the only means
of transportation and distribution. Nowhere does
it face any risk of competition.
In his appeal to the United States supreme
court from the decision of the federal district
court in Pennsylvania, Attorney General Gregory
describes the Reading company as the back
bone OF the alleged monopoly of anthracite" 1t
has circunlvented the constitution of the state of
Pennsylvania, and so far has successfully dehed
both the Sherman antitrust act and the COM
holding company it controls the Readings coal
mines and railroad lines, and in everything but
strictly legal sense the other anthracite rail-
roads are its partners in business.
dangerous consequences of this situation when ii
says that the combination
il not dissolved, will own or control every
ton of commercially available anthracite
known to exist, and while in almost any other
branch of industry it is at least possible for
monopoly to be broken by the influx Of
fresh capital attarcted by high profits,
against monopoly OF anthracite, the sup
ply Of which is limited, there can be no such
protection. Only the law can afford relief.
What consumers know by long experience is
that the anthracite monopoly, unless broken by
the courts, will persist in its policy OF extorton
and continue to raise the prices OF coal at will
on any pretext and at every opportunity. Ex-
actly what has been often done in recent years
will be done again unless the law can afford relief

Mr.. Hughes opd Labor
= 81. Louis Globe Democrat

Truth is mighty and will prevail, as much SO
in a political campaign as in any other contest.
The desperate effort that is being made to, capt.
taze the Adamson act for the benefit OF the
party that has the ignomnous distinction OF
passing it, is founded upon falsehood and decep-
ton and out of it grow other falsehoods. Not
content with laureling Woodrow Wilson as the
savior of labor-Woodrow Wilson, who in 1909
publicly declared that Il am fierce partisan OF
the open shop" and who in 1907 spoke OF the
labor organizations and leaders OF the country
as a formidable enemy to equality and better
ment Of opportunity"-his partisans are holding
up Mr.. Hughes as "the enemy of labor" This is
as untrue and as vicious as the claim that the
Adamson law established an eght-hour day.
Mr.. Hughes attitude in regard to labor was
fairly expressed in an editorial in the ofical or
gan Of organized labor in the state of New York,
at the time he was appointed justice of the
supreme court. We printed this utterance few
weeks ago; we here present it again:
"Now that Governor Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to place on the
highest judicial tribunal in the world, the tact
can be acknowledged, without hurting any
bodys political corns, that he was the great
est friend of labor that ever occupied the gov
he has signed ffty-six labor laws, including
among them the best labor laws ever enacted
in this or any other state. He also urged the
enactment of labor laws in his message to the
legislature, even going so far as to place the
demand for labor law in one of his messages
to an extra session of the legislature. Only
l62 labor laws have been enacted in this state
since its election in 1777-in 1856 years. One
third of these, exceeding in quality all others,
have been enacted and signed during Governor
Hughes term OF three years and nine months"
That is an unbiased statement of Mr.. Hughes
record, made at a time when it was supposed that
he was permanently removed from the field of
politics The legislation referred to includes
child labor laws, covering the prohibition of
child labor under certain ages, the regulation OF
child labor of permissible age, outlawing certain
machines and industrial practices in relation to
child labor, law safeguarding women in EN-.
ployment, and numerous other enactments. all
designed to protect labor and promote its inter
ests. These are the things Mr.. Hughes was doing
at the time Woodrow Wilson was saying: You
know what the usual standard Of the employee
is in our day. 1t is to give as little as he may
for his wages. Labor is standardized by the
trades Unions and this is the standard to which
it is made to conform Mr.. Hughes does not
truckle to labor or to any other interest He does
what he believes is fair and right to all.
