A WORD TO VOTERS.

No citizen, man or woman, worker
or employer, can fairly answer the
question, What has the special session
of Congress done for me?" without
sense of regret at having voted last
autumn to supplant the Democratic
majority. More than two months have
elapsed since President Wilson recon-
mended to the special session the pas
sage of certain statutes which were
intended and required to curb prof.
teering, to reduce or at least to sta
Billie the cost of living, and to restore
business to the normal status of peace.
Not one of the Presidents recommen-
dations has become law; no substan-
tial progress has been made toward
their serious consideration. -~-S A
In the house of Representatives the
Republican majority is composite of
factions which are a unit upon only
one policy-that of opposing the Presi-
dent In every question Of construc-
tive legislation they are an incoherent
aggregation of cabals and lotteries, I'M
able and unwilling to cooperate either
with President Wilson or their own
putative leaders. The senate's record
of inaction and recalcitrance is known
to all the world. 1t has become no.
torious, under it's reactionary Republi-
can control, not for what it has done,
right or wrong, but for all that it has
refused to do. Opposing peace under
whatever guse of patriotism it's par
tisan directors have chosen to assume,
it has perpetrated every condition of
war save that of certainty.
What do the Republican masses
think of their representatives in Con-
gress? What do they purpose doing
to correct the evils which they voted
upon the country-though perhaps IN
Willingly? They cannot escape re-
sposibility for their party save by re-
forming or repudiating its leadership.

THE DAiRYMEN'S LEAGUE.

The Dairymen's League has sent
out statement TO the effect that the
price of milk is about to be raised
again without fraction of better pay
to the dairymsn.
1t is announced that the milk driv-
ers are to demand an increase in
wages of nearly 100 per cent, giving
them salary of about $2,400. 1t
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to find dairyman with labor income
of $1,000 in spite of the fact that
modern dairying requires high intel.
ligence and years of Draining. The
average dairyman does well to make
quarter of this sum for his own
labor and that of his wife and chill
dren, and from this he must pay the
living expenses of himself and family.
As to whether an increase is justified
we are unable to say, but the farmers
wish the public to know that if an
advance in the retail price is made
it should not be laid to the increased
price paid the farmer.

THE PRESIDENT.

President Wilson was forced to give
up his tour in behalf of the peace trea-
ty when it was five-sixths over. This
was an unfortunate happening He
was fast getting ahead on popular ap-
proval when tired nature called halt
and he had to leave. off when the long
trail was leading him home. He put
in some mighty blows during the trip,
and in the strongholds of the peace
pact's enemies he appears to have
made the deepest impression.
1t is only fair to admit that many
people disagree on the terms of the
League Of Nations as interviewer, but
the President explains every knotty
problem in the great document and
says we are in no danger by accepting
it. There is a great deal of fol de rol
about our not mixing up with Euro
pean matters. What else could we do
once we went into the war? Our
ideals on going in were pitched high,
but they could not be placed high
enough for the average American mind
at that time. Mr.. Wilson stated at the
very beginning Americas attitude of
unselfishness and nobody howled He
said we were going in for no indemni-
ty, no spoils of victory, and everybody
applauded. How different the thoughts
of some when we had actually won the
war before we got half way started in
it! But through it all the President
has never wavered. He has held to
one source, hewed to one straight line.
They charge him with reversing him
self, but it isn't true. His great pur-
pose has been to attain an honorable,
fair peace and to make the world safe
for democracy. Somehow the malcon-
tents don't appear to want this and
have invented stumbling blocks when
there wasn't anything else they could
do In the meantime everybody wishes
the President had not collapsed-that
is, everybody who does not hate him.
God grant that he may soon he himself
again. so that his great leadership in
behalf of disordered world may again
assert itself and peace reign over all
the world.

HOW THEY HAVE CHANGED!

In 1916 the Republicans did not
ency at that time be leary of European
connections. A plank in their plat
form Of that year said:
1.-THE present administration has de-
stroyed our influence abroad and hui
inflated us in our own eyes, The Re
publican party believes that firm,
consistent and courageous foreign pol
icy, always maintained by Republican
Presidents in accordance with Ameri-
can traditions, is the best, as it Is the
only true way to preserve our peace
and restore us to our rightful place
among the nations. We believe In the
pacific settlement Of international dis
puteS and favor the establishment of a
world court for that purpose"
And then Governor Glynn, in his
speech at the st. Louis convention,
which renominated President Wilson,
thus described the Republican policy:
..It would not allow the United
States to keep the sword In the scab-
bard as long as there remains an un-
righted wrong or an unsatisfied hope
between the snowy wastes of Siberia
and the jungled hills of Borneo. 1t
would make America as dangerous to
itself and others, as destructive and
as uncomfortable as the cannon in Vic
tor Hugo's tale of '93. 1t would give
us war abroad each time the fighting
cock of the European weather vane
shifted with the breeze 1t would
make America the cockpit of the
world. 1t would mean the reversal of
our traditional policy of government.
1t would make all the other
nations the wards of the. United States
and the United States the keeper of
the world. What would become of the
Monroe Doctrine under such policy?
How long do cur opponents suppose
we would be allowed to NEEDLE in Eu-
ropean affairs, while denying Europe
the right to NEEDLE in American af-
fairs? The policy of our opponents is
dream. 1t never could be a posi-
bility. 1t is not even advanced in good
faith. In word, this policy
of our opponents would make the
United States the policeman of Eu-
rope"
There was, of course, says the New
York Evening Post, rhetorical exagger-
alton In this, but there was also a sub
stratum Of truth. Nobody laughed at
Governor Glynn's speech because ev-
erybody knew that, in fact, the Repub-
lican party had for many years tended
to make America ruffie it in the face
Of the nations.

HATE is ONLY WASTE.

Hate is only waste 1t is not
through conflict that we make ad-
vances and grow, but by cooperation.
This thought has recently come in for
a great deal of consideration in con-
nection with the war Why did Ger
many hate the rest of the world? Why
did she seek to conquer all of it
for her own selfish purpose? She
had lived a Christian nation, and set
up her idols, and her ideals were look
ed upon by most other powers as
worthy and straightforward Her in
dustrial activities, her many scientific
triumphs, and her constant progress
were looked at with wonderment In
this country every state was anxious
for German immigrants. Their farm
ers could make the lands yield where
the average American farmer would
fail. Nothing was so good as some
thing that came from Germany 1t
became a world fad to regard every
thing that came from Germany as
the best that could be produced.
The war had not progressed great
German made goods were really no
better than our own. Their cutlery
was considered the very finest, yet
it was soon found that the better
kind of cutlery was made in Rochester
German dyes were probably the best
In the world when the war began,
but we soon made dyes approximately
So all down the line American prod
ucts became better and better. We
ducts became better and better We
discovered that we could do without
everything that came from a German
factory. We did do without them
We were proud of it.
To hate Germany for what she did
in the war is natural enough to some
minds looking at the atrocities per-
petrated. But hating will not carry
America forward, just as it will not
carry the individual forward 1t is
waste to hate, and we can be indiffer-
ent to our enemies with no thought
of despising them. Germany deserves
little at the hands of a tortured
butchered world, and she must pay her

Fall, Cleaning
BY Miss A. 3. Swami.

Now is fall cleaning time.
The renovating and refurnish-
ing of the home for the winter
season begins.
Comfort and cheerfulness are
the ends sought and the first
step is cleaning.
Cretonne cushions that have
been used through the summer
should be ripped and washed. If
made of a light weight cretonne,
dip in starch water to renew
original dressing. Iron on wrong
side to prevent gloss.
If cushion is an upholstered
one and looks shabby and dusty,
the suction cleaning of vacuum
cleaner will readily remove en-
bedded dust and dirt and greatly
brighten the cover.
If cover is too shabby for an
other season, use old cover as a
pattern and recover cushion, and
you have, at little expense, add
ed greatly to the appearance of
your home.
All draperies and rugs need
not be carried about. With the
vacuum cleaner each article may
be cleaned in its place, easily
and without exertion.
If these articles are cleaned a
little each week, the heavy, old
fashioned se-cleaning will be
no longer necessary.

crimes. Let Germany make her rep

She should be in sackcloth and ashes
