view OF the figures since the election
took place at the close Of victorious
war, and the leaders of the Wilson ad-
ministration politically capitalized this,
confident that the voters would show
their approval by acceding to the ap-
peal Of the President for the election
Of Democratic Congress. The adverse
response, under all the circumstances,
the Republican leaders interpret as an
unmistakable indication of the trend Of
public sentiment against the Wilson
Administration. The Republican lead

48-Hour Week Opposed
BY Silk Manufacturers

The Silk Association of America
made public yesterday resolutions
adopted by its committee on labor ex-
pressing the conviction that the adop-
ton of the forty eight-hour week in
textile Industries was an impossibilty.
1t was asserted the policy could not
be lneugurated all over the country;
that its adoption in one part would
cause sectional differences, and that
the government should abolish the
question by legislation, pending STAN
dardlzation of hours Of labor through
out the country. The resolutions fol-
low:
Resolved, That we do not deem it
practicable, desirable or just to estab-
llsh the so-called forty-eight- hour week
Tor the textile industries, as it can
NOT pc made to apply under present
condltlons ~ all sections of the coun-
try alike, and industry cannot at this
time of drastic readjustment and par
tial ldleness following previous great
advances IN wages and cost stand any
iurther increases in the cost of produc-
tlon and accompanying reduction of
output, which will raise prices to the
consumer and make competition with
imports difficult and create q serious
handicap on the manufacturers of
goods for export. Therefore, we feel
justified in continuing to maintain such
working hours as are established by
existing practice; and be it further
Resolved, That we hereby recon-
mend that any demands that NAV be
made for establishment of the forty
eght-hour week be refused and pres
ent working hours be maintained; be
it also,
"Resolved, That we look forward to
the standardization cf the hours Of
work in the various industries of the
country to the end that justice NAV be
done to all interests, and that there
may be fair return to industry and
proper conditions assured to workers.
10 advance. this aim the Federal gov
crnment should take steps either
through enactment of legislation or
ether means to remove the question
from the field of industrial contro-
versy. We do not believe that the
necessary uniformity of practice can
be attained through local adjustments
or by means of legislation bv the
various states. Such methods will re-
suit in the future, as they have in the
rast, in sectional differences and con-

Travis Sees No Need to
Change State Tax Laws
Revenue Deficiency Will Be
Only slO,6O0,0OO, He Says;
Can Be Raised Otherwise

ALBANY, Jan. 26.-No radical change
in the states tax laws is necessary
this year, State Controller Eugene
M. Travis announced in a statement to-
night. In this position he apparently
differs from the views OF Chairmcn
tive taxation committees, who last
week forecast a deficit this year of
S12 ,0DO, 900, and intimated that a state
income tax was possibility of the
near future. Controller Travis pre-
diets that the deficit will be only $1O.-
GO0.OOO, due to estimated loss in excise
revenues, and that slight changes in
existing statutes will raise this
amount.
"Many new schemes proposing en-
tire innovations in the states present
revenue policy are being suggested"
the statement declared. Il feel, how
ever, that slight amendments could be
made TO the present laws. which will
accomplish the necessary results with
out disturbing existing methods of
taxation
"As shown in my last report, the
states available resources will amount
to $4,000 ,000. Should the Legislature
decide again to levy direct tax SINH

ing fund purposes. it will net approx

to William Loeb, president of the me-

rlals to the President have been talked
about, and the committee thinks it
advisable to centre on one thing. Hun
dreds of letters have been received
promising contributions.
Mr.. Loeb to-day said that he un-
doubtedly would ask some prominent
men in each state to receive funds
from that state. Many state Republi-
can organizations have offered their
resistance IN raising contributions
Letters containing small amounts of
money have been received already from

Hays Asks All
Republicans
TO ''Carry On
Leaders Are Urged to Make
the Victory of 1913 Even
More Conclusive in 1920
Hope Is Based on Figures
Gains in Congress Are Cited
to Justify Expectation of
342 Electoral Vote

VIII Il. Hays, chairman Of tAc
Republican National Committee, has
sent word to all the Republican State
chairman and National Committeeman
to hold all the 1918 gains, and increase
them for 1920 wherever possible.
1t is no secret among Republican
leaders that this is the size of the lob
that Chairman Hays has cut out for
himself and his colleagues. While he
has been the directing force of the
National Committee for less than one
year, the state chairmen and national
committeemen know his big watchword
is "Drive."

vote was divided as follows:

HOME OF THE WATERMELON
Monticello, In Florida, Rightly Claims
to Be Worlds Greatest Market
for the Seed.

Jefferson county, Florida, OF which
Monticello Is the county seat, Is the
home of the watermelon seed indus
try of the United States" declares the
Monticello News. 1T could be said
that this is the home Of the industry
for the world, for this county grows
more watermelons for seed purposes
than any other section, and more wa
termelons are grown in North Amer
lea than anywhere else"
The News gives some figures on the
proposition and no doubt good many
people would be surprised to know
that of the ten thousand acres utilized
in the United States for growing wa
termelons for seed, Jefferson county,
Florida, has more than eight thousand
acres busy toward that end. 1t is the
only place in the world where an or
der for carload of watermelon seed
can be filled-and such orders are
often filed and the cars go out of
Monticello.
Florida is wonderful state. The
balance Of the country might be able
to get along without us, but they
wouldn't have nearly as good time
as they do now.-Florida Times-U Union.

Roosevelt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt
in the Yale Review, Henry A. Beers
says of him as writer:
"Ms. Roosevelt produced much ex-
cellent literature, but no masterpieces
like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and
second inaugural. Probably his
sketches of ranch life and of hunting
trips In three continents will be read
longest and will keep their freshness
after the public questions which he
discussed have lost interest and his
historical works have been in part re-
written. In these outdoor papers, be-
sides the thrilling adventure which
they-very modestly-recOrd, there
are even passages of descriptive beau
ty and chapters Of graphic narrative,
like the tale of the pursuit and cap
ture Of the three robbers who stole
the boats on the Missouri river which
belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

DATES FROM COLONIAL DAYS
George Washington Hotel, In Princess

try's Earliest Days.

Princess Anne, Nd, rs its name sug-
gests, is town with history that
goes back to the time when Mary
land was q royal colony, ruled by Lord
Baltimore from his great estate at
Dover House.
Naturally, you expect Princess Anne
to be very Colonial" In atmosphere.
The railroad station is your first dis

large and substantial brick affair.
But then, railroads are great destroy

Washington hotel, which is said to
derive its name from the fact that
the father of his country once spent
the night there, is all that you could
ask in the way Of On antique, as Is
the bus which takes you there.
The most interesting thing about the
George Washington hotel is it's great
staircase, which was built $50 years
ago, and has not been substantially
altered since. There is one stairway
for women and one for men. These
differ In that the women's staircase
has only one railing, while that for
men has two-which seem to imply
that colonial men may have needed
q little extra support when they went
to bed after the festivities in the great

SCOUTS
Ct
SCOUTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

Another letter received at national
headquarters suggests a criticism
This letter states:
"There Is hardly week that some
business house does not have some
plan to offer for using our organize.
ton to sell goods"
It is an unfortunate fact that so
many men have failed to understand
that the ideal of service wrought into
the boy scout movement is entirely
free Of the spirit Of gain.
The scout good turn which takes on
so many forms and has even risen to
the high plane of national service In
the time Of war cannot be bought. 1t
is not devised to help increase the
gains of any person or business or In
stitution. 1t is helpfulness outside Of
the field of commercialism.
It Is true that scouts can work for
money. But 1t is equally true that
neither a scout nor q troop should be
worked for money. Let no individual
and no concern try to break down that
fine distinction.
If boy scout does any one Of the
many honorable things boy can do
for business concerns and for others
to earn money, he does it as boy, not
Us a boy scout.
