industry an exceptional significance and value. Although the United States will gladly and unhcsitatingly join in the program of international dis armament it will nevertheless be d policy of obvious prudence to make certain of the successful maintenance of many strong and we'll equipped chemical plants. German chemical industry with which we will be brought into competition was and may well be again a thoroughly knit monopoly capable of exercising competition of a peculiarly insidious and dangerous kind
 The United States should more over have the means of properly protecting itself whenever our trade is discriminatcd against by foreign nations, in order that we may be as sured of that equality of treatment which we hope to accord and to pro- mote the world over. Our tariff laws as they now stand provide no weapon of retaliation in case other govern ments should enact legislation un- equal i'm it's bearing on our products as compared with the products Of other countries. Though we arc Gs far as possible from desiring to en- ter upon any course of retaliation VIC must frankly face the fact that hos tile legislation by other nations is not beyond the range of possibility and that it may have to be met by counter legislation. This subject, has fortunately been cXhauStivoly in vcstigatcd by the United States tariff comm iSsion. A recent report of that commission has shown very clearly ,1,4 +ro have the instruments necessary for tho assurance of equal and cQuita ble treatment The attention of tho con gross has been called 10 this matter on past occasions and the past meas ureS which are now recommended by tho tariff commission are suhstan- tially the same that have been suG- Ecstcd by previous administrations recommend that this phase of the tariff question receive the early at tcntion of the congress.
 Backs Up Suffrage Move.

 It seems to mo that every consider atiOn of justice and of public ad- vantage calls for the immediate adoption of that amendment and it's submission forthwith to the leEisIa- lures of the several states. Through out all the world this long delayed extension of the suffrage is looked for; in the United states, longer l believe than anywhere else, the ne- Cossity for it and the immense ad- vantage of it to tho natiOna! life, has been urged and debated, by women | and men who saw the need for 1t 1 and urged the policy of 1t when it ! required steadfast courage to be so | much before hand with the common 1 conviction; and I, for one, CoVet for ] our country the distinction of being among the first to act in a great re- 1 form.

WHAT THE SOLDIERS WANT.

Since the last shot Of the war was well-mcaning fussbudgets have been forcing upon the country their views of what the soldiers want. Some usually those in office or desirous of being therc--have proposed that the state reward them with large amounts of cash out of proportion to the state s financial condition. Others would dis charge factory workmen and replace them with soldiers. Still others be- lje%e the soldier should be given q tract of land with sufficient capital to work it and be allowed to reclaim 1t from the wilderness.
 The best solution ot the problem, 1t would seem, would be to ask the sol djer himself just what the country can do for him. His answer is con- tained in the current issue of the "Come-Back," a newspaper published for and by the patients at the Walter Reed reconstruction hospital at Wash ington, D. C. The matter is discussed in the editorial column and is of in terest to employers of labor, large and small Like he hit the linden burg line, the editor launches out from the shoulder:
 The true soldier wants nothing
 but his square chance and fair
 deal for himself and his. He
 doesn't want to be "Worked' by
 candidates and he doesn't want job holders to use him to "work'' others.
 The true soldier doesn't want to
 be professional hero," paved over by the curious who care nothing for him as an Individual. He doesn't want to be the prize exhibit at gatherings where he
 wouldn't have been welcome be- fore he went to France. He doesn't want his reputation and
 that of his fellows used to grease the skids for tho pct schemes of l crooks or cranks. He doesn t want what he did used to cloak the
 doubtful projects of what others | propose to do.
 | The true soldier, wounded or
 crippled, wants what the country owes him: A chance to learn how
 10 earn a competent living and l chance to earn after he has learned.
 The true soldier, unwoundcd, stronger in body, bettcred in wit. | wants just recognition of the fact 1 that he is an upstanding Amcrl- 1 can citizen, able to earn his way, scorning special favors deter 1 mined to see that to him and to his and those like him and to theirs the way up and the way on 1 is kept open.
 Scntimentaists should heed tn 1 foregoing and act accordingly. Pol1 1 ticians should mend their ways. | they try to use the American soldie l they may find themselves hoist b their own petard and back at worl with their cars trained anew for tn | 6 a. nl whistles.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

&From the standpoint of labor, no Fore important message has ever Zen sent to Congress than that of Resident Wilson, read today. The Rowing realization that labor and 8pital are interdcpendcnt, that one Hnnot survive without the other, is Emphasized by the worlds leading &atesman and brought directly and @rcibly to the attention of the worlds #lblic through channels ensuring the Eldest publicity.
 In a few words, President Wilson #commends that capital share moro hnerousIy with labor the proceeds of &s Investments, the fruits of it's sue bss. The desirability of this ar Nngement has been recognized for Rme time by leading manufacturers. Kew Britain is an instance where a hlmber of factories voluntarily have Rvited their employees to become asso- ated with the firm through selling lock to the workmen at prices lower han the market value. The bonus kstem has also been installed and by his method workers receive their Sro rata share of the profits. This is Hong the lines suggested by the Pres slent and it is to the credit of New britain captains of industry that they Initiated such a program of their own |ccord.
 President Wilson's message is revo- ntionary in scope and it required the Poldness of which he alone is capable

 Other nations have been wea kcned lnd some have disintegrated because he proletariat did not receive their proper share of the profits. Even in his country the socialization of in 1ustry and the establishment of soV-
 lets have been urged by radical speak hrs but their inflammatory utterances lave fallen on deaf ears because the knows that in no other place on earth are conditions of living better. The Presidents words should oe effective in spiking any tendency

T1X. pert advice is, on the other hand, available in Il IS very practical mat. ter, and the public interest is mani lest. Neither the telegraph nor the telephone service can be said to be in any sense a national system. There arc many cOnfusionS and inconsistent Cies of rates. The scientific means by which competition by some instru- mentalities could be rendered more thorough and satisfactory has mol been made full use of. An exhaustive study of the whole question of cleo. trical communication and of the means by which the central authority of the nation can be used to unify and improve it if undertaken by the ap- propriate committees of the congress would certainly result indirectly, ever if not directly, in a great public bcne. fit.

Congratulati to the New Britain soldiers who have decided to solicit funds for the Salvation Army. Turn about is fair play. When the soldiers needed mental and physical relief they found the Salvation Army at their elbows and when the Salvation Army is in need of "buddies'' it will find those same soldiers waiting for orders to go forward.

"Nevert heless there arc parts of our tariff system which need prompt attention The experiences of the war have made it plain that in some cases too great reliance on foreign supply is dangerous, and that In de

Among the in duStricS to which special COnSido dora- ton should be given is that of tho manufacture of dyestuffs and related chemicals Our complete dependence on German supplies before the war made the demands upon the trade a cause of economic disturbance.

Salisbury AS Factory site.

Salisbury is undergoing critical ex-
animation by officials Of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company with view
to the location of branch factory
in that thriving town. Thus far the
reports to the home office Of the com
pany are favorable to the project.
The company has been attracted by
the location because Of its proximity
to the fields of raw product in South
ern Maryland. in Virginia, North Car
olina and elsewhere in the South
transportation being across the Chesa-
peake Bay from Norfolk to Cape
Charles City, and thence TO Salisbury
The towns advantages as a distribut-
ing point, both by water and rail, also
appeal to the company. Another fay.
orable factor is labor. which is abund-
ant, stable and economic because OF
living conditions that are cheaper than
In the North. Labor on the Eastern
Shore has not yet been organized with
unions. and hence the scarcity Of
strikes.
The enterprlslng people Of Salisbury
are doing all within their power to
have the factory in or adjacent to
their town. They are anxious that
Il shall take the place of the Jackson
lumber mills, which will be removed
to Fayetteville. N. C. The factory
would give employment to the labor
to be jobless after the removal Of the
mill. as well as to hundreds Of men,
women and children anxious to en-
bark in the Industrial life. Salisbury
now ranks as the largest and most
enterprisIng town on the peninsula
south Of Wilmington. 1t is claimed
that the census next year will show
population In excess of 5000. An
additional office building Of large d.
mensions will soon be erected in the
town
