Some of the factories run three

Piecework systems have been in

of speeding up production. Women
workers, it is said, take much more
pains than the men to increase their
incomes when they are working on

CONQUERING CARE.

Care has cut me since the day
On her wiles I smiled away,

Who can grin amid mishap.

Wakes fat on worried fears.

were our conception of the highest
patriotic duty of an American voter
to proceed in some other direction we
would say 1t frankly-and speak of 1t
| unhesitatingly in this column But
we do not believe IL Is. We think
there one thing and only one thing
for our voters to do this year and we
believe they will do that thing with
out questioning. without Dragging and
without regretting that they have
done it.
John W. Davis's elevation to the St
James post means a victory for polit-
| ical judgment. patriotic service and
| for devotion to the highest ideals
which can pervade public life. Mr..
Davis has made his way because he
set out toward the most worthy
| marks. because he battled courage
ously on toward them in spite of op-
position and discouragement, and be-
cause he was tolerant of other forces
and was respectful Of the rights and
| interests Of others
As David Lawrence so truthfully
remarked his is the example of a
man who tabooed the arts of the
demagog. He earned the support OF
his people because he was open and
frank and because he didn't stoop
to the practices which sometimes
bring quick success but eventual
ruin to the man who courts public
| life.
Mr.. Davis will make good with the
people of Great Britain. He is a
business man and a lawyer, capable
alert and loyal to the utmost. He
will step into the ways OF the diplo-
| mat quite as easily as did Lord
Reading when the latter was select
ed to come to this country for the
government of Great Britain. Ver-
! lily, we think that while Lord Read
| ing has been sent here by his home
government we have returned to his
country a man whose characteristics
! remind us of him. The relations
OF the two great countries will ben
eft by the addition of Mr.. Davis to
the staff of spokesmen quite as
much as they will by the reason OF
the assignment of Lord Reading to
the Washington rsst-and this Is
paying them both the compliment
OF being decidedly the right men for
the right places.
