Thus, instead of democratic gov
eminent really representing the Ger
man people. all we find is a plan
whereby. in time. elective reforms
will be formally adopted which. when
they become operative, viii enable the
German people to choose a representa-
tive parliament and obtain govern
ment responsible to that parliament
instead of 10 the Kaiser.
Maybe the German people actually
imagine that they have already achiev-
ed democracy. II so, they have lost

In smallish kind of city where they
use electric lights,
Ever notice how the people there con-
duct themselves o. nights?
Everybody draws the curtains save
the families who reside
On the corners where the arc lamps
throw their fitful circles wide.
Dim the lights inside these houses,
window shades are run up high;
While the people spend their evenings
watching other folks go BY
Spend their evenings specializing as
the neighbors pass that way,
Guessing shrewdly where they're GO
ing, what they're doing, what they
say.
Lovers young are we'll debated as they
saunter down the walk,
And old Jones who lost his money gets
his share of whispered talk
In the smallish kind of city where the
lights are far between
It's the corners where they get you
and the choicest sights are seen.

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

President Wilson came out yesteT
day with an appeal to the country TO
"A vote of confidence in his leadershi
both at home and abroad by returnin
the Democratic Congress. He says:
The leaders of the minority
i'm the present Congress have
unquestionably been pro-war,
but they have been anti-Ad-
ministration At almost every
turn since we entered the war
they have sought TO take the
choice of policy and the con-
duct of the war out of my
hands and put il under the
control of instrumentalities of
their own choosing.
This is no time either for di-
vided counsel or divided lead
ership. Unity of command is
as necessary now in civic &C
lions as il is upon the field of
battle. If the control of the
House and Senate should be
taken away from the party
now in power, an opposing
majority could assume con-
troll of legislation and oblige
all action to be taken amid
contest and obstruction.
The return of Republican
majority to either house of
Congress would, moreover,
be certainly interpreted on
the other side of the water as
reputation of my leadership.
In the face of this strong and manly
appeal of the one who has lead us sc
well through perilous times, the voters
of this country cannot afford to elect
a single Republican to either House
of Congress.
Let every voter, therefore, consider
this appeal when he is about to cast
his ballot on November 5, and ask
himself the question. do ! want my
vote To be 'interpretated on the other
side of the water as a reputation OF
the Presidents leadership?
All the peoples of the earth will
look with the greatest interest for the
result of the election in this country,
and especially the German nation, and
the election or return of Republican
majority to either house of Congress,
would not only indicate our lack OF
appreciation of the President, but
would unquestionably create in the
minds OF the German people the inn
preston that we are weakening in
our purpose to win this war.
Frank NJ Duvall is the Democratic
candidate and Sydney f. Mudd is the
Republican candidate for the 9Th Con,
gressional district. Will you vote fol
Mr. Mudd and repudiate the Presi
dents leadership or vote for Mr.. Du-
vail and stand by the President?

"a MANS JOB OR FIGHT,
70 the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
When a few days ago the papers
came out with headlines such as the
one at the top of this article most
people above thirty-one applauded.
If one thinks a moment there is
something to be said for the fellow
holding what we may call a wo-
mans job.
He is, we will say, twenty-five years
old and has held a clerical position
for three or four years, likes his
job and sees a chance for advance
ment. If he leaves this position to
take what in these times would be
called a mans job, having no trade
there is nothing for him but labor
or work in some factory where he
becomes a part of a machine. When
the war is over he may be dropped
and finds that his old place is filled.
To take care of this man and the
many more who for one reason or
another are holding back, the Fed
eral board for vocational education
through local school boards is offer
ing war work training in evening
classes. In these classes the young
man can prepare for some Army oc-
cupation where there is a chance for
promotion and on leaving the service
will be ready for mans job.

In April, 1915, replying to the de-
mand of President Wilson, the Ger
man government pledged its word
that it would cease ruthless
slaughter upon the high seas"
Within six weeks after that solemn
promise, Secretary Lansing tells us,

his government to let him know in

break it. How we'll the ambassador

pound loaves of bread daily
enough to give a loaf every day to
every fighting man of Great Britain
France and the United States.
AS fact, Mr.. Hoover recognizes
that the continuance of the brewing
industry, through Intervention by
the administration, is the greatest
obstacle in the way of enforcement
of the food control law and the pro-
motion of voluntary food saw
The liquor interests have boasted
that "the production and distribu-
ton of alcoholic beverages give en-
ployment to 100000 persons" this
including the farmers whose pro-
ducts are used. That figure may be
Exaggerated. It has been testified in
congress that the wage and salary
list of the liquor traffic is about
2S9,000. Even If only half that
number are now employed, with dis
tilling stopped and brewing re-
duced, one may estimate what 1t
would mean if 100000 men engaged
in a traffic which consumes food
were put to raising more food or to
other useful work; and IL the plants
were devoted to undertakings cal
culated to win the war instead of to
an industry which retards our war
effort
The breweries burn 5000, 900 tons
of coal annually. During the fuel
famine of last winter this amount
would have supplied the total re-
quirements of Philadelphia for five
months.
There Is no more important fac
tor in making war than transporta-
ton, and the liquor interests have
boasted that in normal times they
supply 2h per cent. of the total
traffic of all manufacturing indus
tries. The breweries clog the rail-
roads with 100000 tons of freight
and express shipments every year
10000 carloads. AS an example,
| to one small mining town in Penn
sylvania there is sent regularly an
express car loaded with beer in
cases, returned with 'empties"; and
( in Broad Street Station, night after
night, there is serious inadequacy
of cars to carry mail and express
! business.
In view of the wastes which con-
! tinuance of the brewing industry en-
tail upon our resources of food and
! fuel, of man-power and transporta-
| ton, there is widespread wonder as
to why President Wilson, empowered
/ to end the business, concerns him
| self to perpetuate it. In Washing
/ ton the reasons are frankly can
vassed.
Admirers and critics of the Presi-
dent agree that all his actions are
governed by two prime considera-
! tions-patriotism and politics.; some
! times one moves him, sometimes the
other, but most often a combina-
| ton of both.

(The North American.)


For the second time within year,
President Wilson has used the power
of his office to save the brewing
business from suspension. In a let
ter to a member of the Senate last
week, he urgently protested against
an amendment added to an agricul-
tural appropriation bill by the
House, providing that the funds
should not be available unless the
President forbade the use of food
stuffs in making beer and other bev-
erages. It is expected that his con-
demnation will kill the amendment
and give the beer traffic new lease
of life.
To say that the President is pro-
tecting the brewing industry is not
based upon deduction; it is a state
ment of fact respecting a definite
and acknowledged policy of the ad-
ministration, as the records show.
The singular argument that
temperance is to be promoted by
adding to the supply of strong al
coholic liquors supply of those less
alcoholic hardly calls for discussion.
But when Mr.. Hoover asserts that
the amount of foodstuffs consumed
in brewing is unimportant, the fig
ures he offers must be scrutinized
closely.
He says, for example, that ap-
proximately 80 per cent. of the grain
used for beer is recovered as cattle
feed. This is much higher than the
findings of scientists, but in any case
there stands against it the fact that
cattle feed is also made from the
waste when grain is turned into
flour.
But with his cattle feed allowance
deducted, he admits that the cessa-
tion of brewing would effect a saving
in grain of approximately $3.50, 900
bushels a month from a nutritive
point of view," and he argues that
this loss is entirely secondary
since it represents only a minute
percentage of the total crops. 1t is
true that loss of 3S,000,0 900 bu-
shells a year is relatively small out
of an aggregate 100 times as great;
! but when there is an actual def
plying the Allied peoples, what
then? When the American people
are required to stint themselves in
order to save surplus for shipment
| abroad, the grain consumed in brew
| ing is disclosed as formidable per-
| centage-easily enough to represent
| the difference between a sufficient
supply and dangerous shortage.
Scientific inquiry however, has es-
tablished the losses and stated them
in figures that every one can un-
derstand. Prof. Irving Fisher, one OF
| a committee of noted economists
that Investigated the question, de-
clared that 'the net food loss" in
the manufacture of liquor was 1.-THE

wv where we will be asking:
What is a pleasure carr"
A tax on gasoline used in pleasure
cars is said to be contemplated by
the government. both as a means OF
raising revenue and OF outstanding
the supply in order that it may be
available for aeroplane and other
military purposes.
Unless the government desires to
pile up trouble for itself and every
body else. some other term than that
OF pleasure car" should be devised.
There are very few pleasure cars"
in operation to-day. Nearly all are
to some extent at least used for busi-
ness purposes. Few persons use
their automobiles now simply for
the sake of riding. Club and family
tours are almost unknown. But the
gasoline vehicle is being used more
than ever for the quick transport
of persons engaged in business and
in a hurry to get between points. M
serves wonderfully we'll in that ca
pacity and nothing should be done to
interfere with its utility, which
means the speeding up of all kinds
of war work
