Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
TINE 70 or RIGHT.

In another column Of the Intelligent
Ger today appears an eritorial from
| the Fafrmont West Virgfnian, which
very concisely and directly states
| the issue in the First Congressional
! District. The district has not been
honestly represented in the House
Of Representatives for the past eight
years. This does not imply lack OF
| personal integrity on the part OF the
( nor have they been fairly represented
views and his votes have not been
In accord with the interests and the
desires Of the majority of the voters,
nor have they been fairly represented
in the great industrial interests Of the
district.
The industries Of the first are in
large degree dependent upon the pro-
tective tariff. Our iron, steel, glass
and pottery plants have been created
under protective conditions. The
rates of labor paid by these plants
have been established under protec-
tive tariff conditions. Votes on the tar
if question cost by the present
representative in conHess has been
inimicaI to the real interests Of these
industries. Previous to the breaking
out OF the European War, these In
dustries were beginning to feel in a
most decided manner the hurt Of IN
fnaical tariff For four years now
the war has been operated as a pro-
tective tariff than we have had for
tive than any ever created! The
war, believe IS soon to end We
will ned in this district higher pro-
tective tariff than we hav had for
years. Our manufacturers VIII be
faced with SNAPPED competition on
higher cost basis than they ever had
before. If they operate at all, If they
are able to employ men and to pay
wages at all, If they are able to hold
a small part of the home market, they
viii require more effective tariff pro-
lection that has been hitherto furn-
ished by the. Underwood law
Nothing is clearer than that Wood
row Wilson and his advisors conten-
plate further breaking down OF pro
tect1ve conditions. The air in Wash
ington is full OF theory about the
establishment Of free trade with the
world. If the Republican voters of
this district are ready for that kind
Of a thing; If they wish a further
undermining and destruction Of the
conditions that have created indus
trial prosperity in this district, they
viii vote to reflect the present ocn-.

JOHNSON APPOINTED TO FINE
POSITION BY GOVERNOR EDGE

Governor Edge this week appointed
Enoch L. Johnson to the position of
Clerk of the Supreme Court. The
term is for five years at $4,000 per
year.
He also reappointed Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Kalisch and Circuit
Court Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN.
Mr.. Johnson is the County Collector
of Atlantic County, and in anticipation
of his appointment by the Governor,
there has beer quite a clamor among
aspirants to succeed him in the county
berth. He has put a quietus upon this,
temporarily at least, by stating that he
does not intend resigning the Collec-
.torship before Jan. LIST next, if at all.
He says there is an uncertainty as to
whether he will hold his new Office for
the full term, and should he not he
would desire to continue as county
collector. Mr.. Johnson enjoys the dis
tinction of being the most popular
politician in Atlantic County. The
Pl%easantville Press joins with his
hosts of friends in extending congratu-
lations.

British workmen are not going to
submit to scientific management i'm
ported from America or elsewhere"
declared the archbishop of York in a
democratic speech on the labor ques-
ton he delivered the other day in the
house Of lords. "They regard it as
'Pr%ussianizing' industry and they will
resist it," said the archbishop. He de-
clared that 1t was surprising there had
been so little unrest among British
workmen, and declared that their
higher wages had been, more OF less,
neutralized by higher prices, which
they believed to be due to pr%ofteering.
They also had been harried and har-
rassed, he said, by the confusion of re-
cruiting and medical examination or
ders and by the suspension of trade
union regulations. Yet vast numbers
Of them from o~vercrowded houses in
slums had come forward with the
greatest readiness to the help Of the
country.

AMERICA WILL REMAIN IN FIGHT
UNTIL MlLITARIsM is CRUSHED.

Here are President Wilson's condi-
lions prerequisite for further discus
sion of peace:
Each part of the final settlement
must be based upon essential justice
to bring a permanent peace.
Peoples and provinces are not
to be bartered about like chattels to
establish a balance of power.
3-Territorial settlements must be
for the benefit of people concerned
and not merely adjustment of rival
States claims.
well defined national aspirations
must be accorded all possible salts
faction.
"a general peace upon such founda-
lions a be discussed" says the Pres
Gdent. Until such a peace can be Sc
cured we have no choice but to go
ON"
These general principles, the Presi-
dent says, have been accepted by ev-
eryone except the military autocrats
in Germany.
