THE SHOE ON OTHER FOOT.


The Republican Party managers
used to make their campaigns on the
prosperity" issue. II Providence gave
us a big crop with resultant prosper
ity to the farmer, or crop failures In
other lands sent up prices on products,
the G. O. P. shouter was right on hand
to claim the credit. The campaign
this year will be different. Who can
blame the Democratic campaign writ
er this year If he chuckles with glee
as he turns the table on his OppOn-
ents. Here are a few samples Of his
product:
Perhaps the 100 per cent increase in
bank deposits in Oklahoma since 1912
also is due to the European war NUM-
ton business. Perhaps?
Will some Republican spell-binder
kindly explain how the 81 per c"nt in
crease in building improvements in
the Northwest this year is due to the
European war?
How can there be any Joy In the
Republican camp this year when there
is no way to credit the $4,000, 0OO, 900
gain In bank resources to Republican
protective tariff?
The American farmer produced in
three years of recent Democratic ad'
ministration a yearly income 81 ,0OO,-
100000 greater than under the proceed
ing Republican regime. Will he vote
In November against the increase in
his income?
The American army Of mechanics
engaged in the building trades have
had this year 1877 wage increases in
"a states, as thus far reported in the
press. Every dollar they earn is for
Americas permanent improvement,
and not home thus far built has been
for European export.
In four weeks, ending July s, the
Textile World Journal reports 100 new
textile mills and 1876 expansions in
prospect. American textile manufac-
turers, freed from the "home-market
enough" idea of Republican days, are
now shouting. 1.-THE world is our mar
ket."

ports under the Republican Payne.

Under the free wool schedule of the

In Stolen Auto, Youths
Have Narrow Escape

Five Ruston youths face seri-
Gus charges as the result of wild
joy ride Saturday night in an au-
tomobile alleged to have been
stolen, which turned turtle near
Arletta and came within an ace of
dropping the occupants to their
death over a 100-foot cliff into
the sound.
The boys were picked up by
another machine and rushed to
Tacoma where medical attention
was given them. William Lyons
and Ben Hanson were seriously
injured, while Edward Scanlon,
the driver, Harold Bloom and
Norman Mills were badly Jared
and received minor bruises.
Hanson, whose skull was frac-
tured, was unconscious all day
Sunday, but was reported out of
danger Monday. Lyons had
collar bone broken and a Shout
der dislocated.
C. V. Smith, the owner of the
car, had a grand larceny charge
filed against the five.

it was decided to file an informa-
tion direct in the superior court
to avoid double court trials as

PREDICT AN EARLY
STRIKE settlement

Settlement of the longshore-
mems strike in Tacoma at an ear
ly date was predicted Monday. as
a result of the acceptance by San
Francisco stevedores of wage
scale agreed upon after a confer
ence of employers and union Of
ficials.
I'VE have every reason to hope
that settlement will be effected
here soon," said Secretary Aug
ust Seitz Monday. "'It is expect
ed that a conference will be held
in the Northwest soon, at which
the union heads and the employ
ers can get together and reach
an agreement"
Waterfront employers on the
North Pacific have been waiting
for weeks to learn the outcome
Of the San Francisco conferences.
Now that the union men have
agreed to return to work there,
it is predicted that speedy set
tlment will be effected here.
Water traffic will naturally be
diverted from Tacoma and Seattle
to San Francisco, because of
cheaper longshoring rates there.
Employers in Tacoma admitted
last week that 1t is costing them
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-08-21

three times as much money to
handle cargo with n6n-union la
Dor as 1t formerly did with union
men.
The San Francisco settlement
provides that the men shall re-
ceive SIS cents an hour straight
time and 81 overtime on deep wa
ter vessels, and 55 cents straight
time, with S21 cents overtime
for coastwise ships. This scale
is practically what the unions de-
manded when the first called
their strike June 1.
San Francisco employers have
also agreed to a closed shop.
Although there has been no vio-
lenee in connection with the Ia
coma strike in several weeks,
union pickets are watching all the
docks, and II is costing the EN-
ployers an enormous sum to han-
die freight here.
1t is reported that the Tacoma
longshoremen would accept a
wage scale similar to the one
adopted in San rancisco. Heads
of the Employers Association Of
Tacoma could not be found Mon
day. and their attitude regarding
a settlement has not yet been an
nounced.

some of the boys are Juveniles.
Preliminary hearing was set
over until August 20.
Deputy Sheriff Mohrbacker de-
scribed the ride and its disastrous
results as a miracle"
Smith, the owner, had carried
party OF dancers to Arletta,
Mohrbacker said, and he left his
machine unlocked in front of the
dance hall.
These boys wanted to get to
Gig Harbor so they could catch
boat to Tacoma. They took
Smiths machine. There was an
uproar when the machine started
and Smith jumped into another
auto and started pursuit.
"The joyriders had hardly gone
a half mile when they came to a
steep hill which leads to the
sound. The brakes were damned
and the stolen machine skidded
around, turning turtle three
times.

the boys still in it caught on a fir

ed over a 100-foot cliff. The ma
chine was a total wreck"

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 81.
The most lifeless and uninter-
esting presidential campaign in a
generation! This is the way the
real leaders of the two great par
ties privately size up the contest
between President Wilson and
Would-be President Hughes,
which was officially opened when
the latter started on his western
stumping tour.
The situation up to the time Of
the national conventions in June,
was pregnant with 81 or more
varieties of possibilities for a
spirited, not to say knock-down
and dragout, contest.
Roosevelt and Bryan, the two
high explosive shells of American
politics, one or both of whom has
played a star role in every ma
tional campaign since the late
eighteen hundreds. were still

Fault finding No Remed,

Take the platform and com.
pare it with the democratic plat
form.
What issue is raised in it that
is worth while fighting about in a
national campaign?
1t is composed almost entirely
of criticism, some general, some
specific, of the Wilson admins.
tration.
In not one paragraph does il
tell the country what the repub-
licans would have done had they
been in power, or what they pro-
pose to do in given circumstances,
II they get into power.
President Wilson has sacri-
feed the honor of the nation in
his dealings with European
powers and Mexico" is the chief
complaint.
This is the key upon which the
republican convention evidently
intended to pitch the campaign
against President Wilson.
Undoubtedly this is Candidate
Hughes Interpretation of the will
of his party, judging by his speech
OF acceptance and his later
speeches.
The obvious counter to this Sc
rious charge by party and candi-
date is:
IF you had been in power what
would you have done to have
saved our honor?"
Persistent.
Would you have declared war
against Germany after the Lusi.
tania?"
Would you have declared wal
against Turkey, after the
slaughter of Armenians and the
mistreatment of missionaries?
Would you have declared wal
against England and France fol-
interference with our ships and
mails?"
Would you have declared wal
against Mexico, after this that OF
the other tragic occurrence in
that country and, If so, after
which one?"
What recourse, excepting war,
has been open to the American
people, to save the honor which
you say, but we deny, has been
sacrificeti?"
These questions, In varying
| forms, have been hurled at the
republican leaders in congress
and at Candidate Hughes ever
since the Chicago convention.
The only attempt that has been
made TO answer them was made
by Hughes in his speech of &C.
ceptance when he said that all OF
the crisis that had occurred be-
tween this and foreign nations,
during the past two years, we're
due to the fact that President
Wilson had put efficient republic
anssout OF office; had put ineffi-
cient democrats in office, and
these inefficient democrats had
not been smart enough to prevent
crisis from Occurring.
Baseless Herrick Issue.
Among the conspicuous ex-
amples of this substitution OF
democratic inefficiency for repub-
lican efficiency cited by Candi-
date Hughes, was the French am
bassadorship.
According to Hughes, Herrick,
in the very midst OF his efficient
labors at Paris, was ruthlessly
dragged away from his job to

ton.
