WILSON POLICIES
IRRECONCILABLE
Must Be Some Guard Against
Low Wages Abroad

Wilson Wants American Producers to
Compete On "Even Terms" With Al
the Rest of the World.
Washington, Oct. 16. - The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters:
"In the last few days President
Wilson has given utterance to three
economic policies that are absolutely
irreconcilable.
"He asserted that American pro-
ducers should compete 'on even terms
with the producers of all the rest of
the world.
"He advocated the eight-hour day.
"He opposed a protective tariff.
eff the American workman is to
have an eight-hour day and no pro-
tective tariff, how can he possibly
be on even terms with the foreign
producer who works ten or twelve or
even longer hours?
'If the American workman is to be
placed 'on even terms with the for
eigner, he must work nearly the same
number of hours and adopt practic
ally the same standards of living.
While it is true that u man working
eight hours will produce more per
hour than tire man who works twelve,
it is utterly impossible that American
workmen laboring eight hours at high
wages can produce commodities as
cheaply as Chinese laborers working
twelve hours at wages which would
scarcely buy even the butter for the
American table.
at is incomprehensible that any
American workman will read these
three policies of President Wilson and
then declare by his ballot that he con-
siders Wilson a possible leader in
solving the economic problems thar
confront the people of the United
States. ...s
"The American workman must not
be placed 'on even terms with the
foreign producer, either in the matter
Of wages, hours of labor, or stand
ards of living. The difference must
be safeguarded by protective tariff"

LABOR PAPER ON
The ADAMSON BILL

(Union Trades Record, Columbus)
So much is being said about the
law recently enacted by Congress fix
ing an "eight-hour" workday that
Trades Record wishes to say a little
now. Like all other union people, and
most other people, too, we believe in
an actual regular work-day of eight
hours or less when practicable. The
trouble with the Adamson law in that
regard is that it does not fix the
ACTUAL workday at eight, or any
other number of hours. All it does do
is to declare that eight hours shall
be considered a days work in the
payment Of wages and that all addi-
tional hours shall be paid for extra
at the same rate. 1t further provides
that the members of the four brother
hoods shall receive the same amount
of wages for the eight hours that
they are now getting for the longer
hours they have heretofore called a
workday. If that does not amount
simply to statutory increase of
wages, and nothing else, we don't
know what it does mean. When the
President of the United States or any
member of Congress who voted for
the bill pretends that he aided in es-
tablishing shorter work hours by that
hasty legislation, he is trying to de-
ceive others, at least, and possibly to
deceive himself.
Some Objections To 1t.
The first and most vital objection
to that measure is the method of it's
enactment. When any set or class of
citizens can face the government of
the Republic and declare that they
will stop industry, destroy business
and cause nationwide suffering and
death if their demands are not met
before a certain hour, the very foun-
datiOns of our government are en-
dangered. When Congress acts under
duress as it did in this case, we have
a Republican or Democratic govern
ment only in name.
A second objection to the measure
is that it was enacted without investi-
cation, and no law should be passed
that way.
A third is that it is class legisla-
tion, designed to benefit only one gen
eral class Of wage-earners in one spe-
cial industry. That grand old man,
Democratic Speaker Champ Clark,
was right when he refused to vote to
increase the wages of part of the
railroad employees unless the bill in
creased the wages of other classes of
railroad employees, too.
Our final reason is that as union
man and as a citizen, we object to
the governments fixing the wages or
working hours Of anybody except the
government employees. This has al
ways been the doctrine of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor and it 10
good Americanism.

find a sufficient answer whether
the D. tariff is the preferable
policy to the R. tariff. The tar
iff is not the only issue and there
are other differences of policy as
vital as the tariff policy and the
thing to do is to consider the
question with craftsmanship
guided by reason and patriotism.
Let the real good of the country
be paramount with the voter and
lets everybody be clear-sighted
enough to see there is something
more in the contest than criti-
cism. Persons averring ideas of
this kind must fail in correct rea-
soning. Experience, and this
country has had some sad affiic-
ton in this line, tells us which is
the true policy and which is the
false. Ridicule is no criterion,
and the person who resorts to
that only publishes the weakness
of their cause. Perish the tho't
that R. is presenting a scare
crow case. If experience had
nothing to do with it the parti-
san might step in and present al
most anything to befuddle the
mind of the unthinking and blind
him to believe we have no such
thing as high living and hald
prospect for a financial crash in
the near future.

CHARLES 0. tIILDEBRANT

- AITHFUL and efficient service
and courtesy. This is the motto
Of Charles 9. Hildebrant, secre-
tary of state. "Hildy" is Clin-
ton county Republican. He was born
at Wilmington Oct. IT, 1854. That
city still is his home. His education,
commenced in the public schools, was
completed at Ohio State university.
His first political Office was clerk of
courts Of Clinton county, to which he
was elected in 1890. Living up to his
motto won for him reelection in 1898
and again in 1896. 1t also won for
him the Republican nomination for
congress in the Seventh district and
election, He took his seat in congress
March 4, 1901. He was reelected and
served until March 8, 1905.
In business Mr.. Hildebrant is a
farmer and book and stationery dealer
Retiring from congress, he devoted his
time to his farm and book business.
In handling the latter business he spent
three years as travelling salesman.
Two years ago he decided to run for
the nomination for secretary of state
He won and was elected over his Dem

How many of us know that the
government is posting notices in
postofices asking people to save
all hitherto wasted paper, and
stating that the shortage is be-
coming serious? Paper is scarce,
prices of magazines and newspa-
pers are rising. Will not all
who read this tell some else a.
bout it and try to have a good lot
of paper and rags to sell, so they
may go back to usefulness again ?
If this were agitated all over the
country think what a great help
we would part of. The prices
paid for such material are fairly
good.

JUST ONE GUESS

Mr.. Wilson was notified of his nom,
ination in the great country house
built by John A. Mccall. late presi
dent of the New York Life Insurance
company, from the large sums ne had
won from that company before Mr.
Hughes forced the life insurance CON-
panies to cease robbing their policy
holders for the benefit of their high
officials.
Quite lot of history has been made
since that time. not the least bit being
that Mr.. Wilson, as president, should
be occupying the place as his summer
capital at time when Mr.. Hughes
the great prosecutor OF dozen years
ago, is touring the country as his op
ponent.

GOVERNOR DECLINES
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
Under No Consideration VIII He Allow
the Use Of His Name on the
Republican Ballot.

Madison-Gov. e. L. Philip made it
known here that under no considers
ton would he allow the use OF his
name on the ballot as being a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president.
Several republican leaders suggest
ed that Gov. Philip ought to take part
in Wisconsin's first presidential pri-
mary, but the governor by his decision
not to allow the use of his name in this
connection puts at rest the movement
to make him candidate for president.
The impression prevails here that
the republican state convention will
not consider any proposition to indorse
senatorial candidate, but that the
convention will confine its work to the
selection of four candidates for dele
gates at large, receiving the report of
the several congressional districts as
TO their candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and the adop-
ton of national platform.
In Madison the impression is gem
eral that a second convention will be
held at which candidates will be in
dorsed and a state platform enacted.
