quality" of the labor being gathered up by
the Government officials but those who
have not run up against the "unworkables"
contend that the real trouble is in the
robbing of farms" by the higher wages and
other allurements of Government plants
and munition factories. Richard Campion,
the wool merchant, has lately undertaken
to do some real farming in Cape May
County, New Jersey. He has 500 acres
under cultivation. He has been having
some lively correspondence with the Gov.
ernment labor experts without much i'm.
mediate prospect Of relief. This is the way
Mr.. Campion sizes up the situation as it
is now affected by Government control and
distribution. "The kind of farm labor sug-S
gested is not the kind required to produce
food to feed the armies. An efficient farm
hand must be as skilled as must q ma
chinist. He must be able to handle a $500
pair of horses, an $500 machine or a $4,000
tractor. The man picked up suddenly in
the city streets cannot do these things. II
food will win the war; food must be
produced and to that end the Government
must not only not take from, but actually
put on, the farms experienced farm hands,"

THE fraternalists who held their big
- congress in Philadelphia recently have
made good their promise to bring up to
Congress the scheme to facilitate the pay
ment Of benefits to the benenciaries Of
those who die in the service. They are
now urging the passage of a bill which
provides for such notice of death by the
Government as may enable the societies to
make payments to those indicated by the
soldier or sailor member. 1t is claimed
that there are more than 100000 frater.
nalists in the United States Of whom
nearly 3.550,0o0 are under arms.

MO. GENTLE reader, Browns -Mills-in-
~ the-Pines was not named after Will
liam J. Browning of Camden, it's most
distinguished congressional sojourner. Mr..
Browning set UP his summer home there
back In the days when Colonel George
Pfeiffer, Jr., was the whole show, except
for the celebrated duck farm" that rivaled
him as an attraction. Those were the days
when Bill Browning was chief clerk of the
House of Representatives and Harry Lou.

had become "the big stick down there.
And now Browning has brought a new
distinction to the place. Not only did he
succeed Loudenslager on the Naval Affairs
Committee, but he has specialized on that
work until he is next in service to Tom
Butler, of Pennsylvania, the ranking Re
publican. His recent tour of the European
battlefields with other members of the
committee has made him one of the war
experts of the House. Moreover the Re.
"the Browning motion to recommit" a step
taken by Republicans in the battleship
program, to show that. Democrats led the
movement in opposition to a big navy
when preparedness" was in its incipient
stages.
CPEAKING Of the navy, 1t may not be
~ pleasant news to Philadephians that
Secretary Daniels has actually made the
so-called Frog Hollow Gang a thing of
record. This term does not justly belong
to Philadelphia, being New York impor-
tation, but nevertheless the Navy Depart
ment has taken official cognizance of 1t
and the term is likely to stick. just as
Hog Island" is likely to stick, only for
different reasons. Some time ago it devel.
oped that the Navy Department was re-
leasing from the naval reserve a number
of young men from the river wards who
had been taken into the service. Inquiry
was instituted concerning these discharges
and for time it was difficult to ascertain
the ground for them. Finally the Secre.
tary came out fatty with the statement
that the young men were connected with
the "Frog Hollow Gang" and the naval re-
serve was no place for them. He said he
had made careful investigation and that
no discharged man had been dealt with
unjustly.
VyHEY tried to beat Elijah c. Hutchinson
1 for denomination for Congress from the
Fourth New Jersey District, which includes
Trenton; but they fell down. just as did
the opposition to Henry w. Watson. who
represents the Pennsylvania district across
the Delaware. Watson knew he had oppo-
sition at the primaries and went into the
hRht knowing he had to fight. Hutchinson,
on the other hand was surprised by an
unexpected Republican candidacy. which
gave him more trouble than he expected

vail. In too many cases they have been
selected because they stand for one fac
ton or another within their parties and
not for individual merit. The best that
can be hoped is that their neighbors will
try to view their qualifications apart
from their factionalism and send the
man best fitted for the highly important
but too often slghted work of passing
the laws of the Commonwealth. 1t is
always difficult to arouse interest in the
selection of nominees for the Legislature
at primary held six months before the
general election. Hence the political
leaders who work at these matters 365
days a year are the real censors of the
qualifications of members and they
usually make very bad job of it indeed
from the viewpoint of the public interest.
In Philadelphia the voters ought par
ticularly to be sure that they send men
imbued with the idea that the city should
get a complete reform of its charter
through larger measure of self-govern-
ment. If necessary to secure it, they
should be ready to fight for the calling
of a constitutional convention to revise
that exceedingly out-of-date document.

Fargo. n D., Oct. 1.-THE publica-
tion OF a $4,000 check that passed
from the Consumers United Stores
company to the National Nonpartisan
league has had d disquieting effect
among the socialists who direct the
league affairs.
For months the socialists and their
organizers have been preaching the
gospel that the stores company and
the league had nothing in common,
and that the stores were entirely in
dependent of the league
Now John Hastings has come for
ward with the confession that it/was
Nonpartisan league money that start
ed the stores. Hastings claims that
The check, the authenticity of which
he admits, was drawn as repayment
of . loan, and the Company has
brought suit for $4,000 against Far
go bank which it charges permitted
the check to become public
The net result of the publication of
the check apparently has been the ex-
pOsure of the direct connection be-
tween the Consumers Unitd Stores
company and the National Nonparti-
san league; the fact that money paid
oy farmers for political purposes was
used ip establishing a private corpor-
alton, and that there is a very close
communion OF interest between cor

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE fate of the Ger

has ,oeen sealed by the advance OF

The extreme right, wing Of the Ger

which has been buNressed by the sea
on one end and by the Swiss frontier
on the other can be Outflanked. 1t is
believed here that the allied attack
in Flanders did not Surprise the Ger.
mans. but the rapidity Of the advance
did. The enemy now is powerless to
retrieve the situation. The allied
rush has been so quick that hope is
expressed here that Lille, Thourtong
and bOdbaiX will be found almost in
tact. M '
The operations in Flanders are
bound to have a vital effect on the
whole western line: While the British
attack across the Lys will bring about
AN evacuation of tho Lille salient, the
Belgian attach on the Ghent front will
have marked effect on the retreat
in the west. = SET a

General Ludendorf will be obliged

probably will have to defend the Ger
