TO PROTECTION, TOO

Their. is an clement in the foou
shortage problem THAI hasn't received
the intelligent; consideration il de-
serves. We are now and have been
for some r;,ae past appealing 10 the
farmer FOR increased product!oc.
Tnerss frantic appeals al urge the Vi
ia! necessity of large acceSsions TO The
Present Insufficient supply OF farm la
Dor. Workers III factories are asked
10 leave tne!r jobs and put in few
weeks on the farms. Summer vacu-
tions should he spent in helping cut

have an all.round agricultural revival.
Back 10 rhe larm.
With the present food shortage De-
fore us we have forgotten the begin
ming and IN" cauSr OF decreased pro
Guction. In the Year 1911 there was q
marked fali!n: OF in the volume OF
American farm products. The Under
wood tariff. which inaugurated free
trade in farm products, was the cause
: OF this decrease OF production. I'M
mediately following the enactment Of
that tariff. October .. 1915. great quad
titles of farm products began to pour
into the country. Argentina, for ex-
ample. sent in hundreds Of millions
OF bushels OF corn and the result was
4 drop o. 10 70 cent a bushel in the
domestic price OF corn. Facing tina.
situation, American farmers planted
less corn in the spring Of 1914. The
same was true Of the general range
of farm foodStuiS. II was not until
the European war created an UMPIRE
cedented demand for our food exports
that American agriculture recovered
from its fEee-trade slump.
No industry was hit harder than
agriculture BY the destructive ecn.
nomic policies Of the present Demo-
cratic administration. and the lesson
taught by this experience Of the dis.
as;rous consequences of free trade in
farm products is one that ought not
70 be forgotten. American agricul.
ture always produces most and thrives
best under protection. 1t always fares
worst under free trade. Back to the
Farm is good slogan. but with it
shon,d go Back 10 Protection."

TIME TO GET BUSY

Any acceptance OF the truth OF the
reports that come 70 this country that
the German empire IS cracking
would be the sheerest folly. There is.
no doubt, discomfort, deep unrest IN
Germany. but it will never be able 10
in any way interfere with the opera
tons the armies OF the empire are
now engaged in. Nor should the re-
cent successes OF the British and
French on the western front deluds
US that Germany is on the point OF
collapse There is no end IN sight.
Any comfortable speculation on that
point Is absurd.
Russia is al added menace now In
stead OF an assured ally. Any opti-
mism regarding that power Is without
any solid basis. One Of the foremost
american experts on tho war clearly
sets forth the gravity Of the situation
when he advises that the wisest thing
TO do is TO expect the worst. because
the worst is wholly possible. If not
now probable. If Russia coilapses and
makes a separate peace. it viii be nee
essary for the United States next year
to supply a considerable number OF
men on the western rront TO support
the Freuch. whose man power Will
henceforth diminish regularly. II will
be necessary for the United States TO
do considerable part In breaking the
submarine blockade and thus making
the starvation of England impossible.
and in furnishing steel to France and
coal to Italy.
The sooner the people Of the United
States recognize that we have entered
this war 10 fight and not to bluff the
better will it be for the prospects
of peace. As it now looks this coun-
thy must take the place Of Russia, and
that means the sending OF our armies
TO Europe. Congress ought TO stop
hagglng over the matter. Delay is
not only dangerous. but criminal.

A PLAIN EVASION

When the Register made the asser-
ton that committee Of prominent
business men encouraged 1t IN It's
partisan attack on the Republican ao-
mnIstration Of city affairs. The In
telligencer asked it to name these
men. It answers that that would
only be too easy" but it does not
name the men. II could get a>thou-
sand names, Is the evasion. mat
wasn't what The 1ntelligencer asked
for. 1t wanted the names Of the com
mittee of prominent business men
the Register specified. OF course they
are not given. The thousand names
it can get" is not disputed. for there
are more than that number OF Demo
Gratis engaged in the same work the
Register is employed ina partisan
conspiracy to defame and discredlt
any Republican who is a candidate
for council, simply because he is a
RepuDllCau.
There has been; nothing in the Reg
lister charges but the froth Of the old
ISLANDERS that have been peddled
around town by men who have sought
power for their own personal ends.
but who have failed 10 negotiate. and
are seeking 70 slip in now under
the cover OF a partisan onslaught on
reputable citizens whose activities on
behalf of the Republican party have
baked them.

carnatlon aids in the promotion also
OF the great cause of human WelI-De-

Emotion organized for high ends Is
most useful force. Emotion unor-
canized often represents the weakness
OF dissipation and destruction.
The American people hate pain.
l"Will 1t hurt" is question most
common. From painless dentistry TO
painless childbirth is the persistent
demand. The nerves Of the new
American are most sensitive. Foods
are pre-dges;ed.
The demand goes beyond the realm
Of the physical To the realm OF The
spiritual and intellectual. Novels are
so written as not 10 harrow the emo
tons. Plays are largely comedies and
burleSQueS. Sermons are made 10
iplease and not to stir the conscience
TO repentance for evil choices.
In the field Of education, the de-
Inland is likewise insistent. Brief
courses Of instruction are wanted, and

CHESTER, Pa, Dec 3i-Chester Will

financial way. More houses have been
built and industries started during 1917
than ever before The total in build
ings Will run from s3.OOO.OOO TO 49,
100000 more than ever before.
This amount only involves the actual
erection OF the plants and homes and
provides nothing for their contents. 1t
Is roughly estimated, barring the re-
ceipt OF the accurate report on the sub
ject, places the investments in this city
about si50000O0 over any preceding
year in the history OF the town where
