THE TABLES ARE TURNED.

While the Democrats were in power
Republicans dinned the country's ears
with criticism and denunciation. Every
act and every omission was wrong
Nothing was right. The war was mud
died; peace was delayed; reconstruction
was impossible. The cure was re-
publican congress, with brilliant states.
men and economists like Senators Lodge
and Penrose and Representative Gil
lett and Mondell as it's leaders.
Three months Of republican RESPONSE
bility and control has not convinced
the people that the change was for the
better Indeed, there is not problem
which has not become more acute; not
a popular demand that has not remain
ed unfulflled in this fourth of year
Of republican accountability for 1egis-
lation.
At the worst, the democratic congress
preceding the one now in session was
charged with doing it's work poorly. But
it acted. The present republican con
gross has done next to nothing-and
done it very badly. If the Democrats
made mistakes it was because they
made efforts. Against the Republi,
cans is fairly chargeable the greatest
and eostliest of all mistakes failure

OFFICIAL, TELLS NEED OF METRIC
UNITS METER-LITER-GR GRAM.

San Francisco. Aug. 81: In a recent
address before members Of the Adver-
Using Club of Baltimore, Nd, H. d.
Hubbard Of Washington, D. c., Secre-
tary to the U. S. Government Bureau
Of Standards made an earnest plea for
tho adoption of metric units of meas
urement in the United States.
Mr.. Hubbard pointed out that, dur
ing the war American manufacturers
were forced to use the metric system
in the manufacture of guns and other
ordnance, and two principal American
locomotive works had to use it in the
building Of locomotives. IF the work
on the blue prints for these locomotives
had to be done in feet and inches, Mr..
Hubbard said, the locomotives would
never have been built. He further said
that America by refusing to adopt the
metric units is keeping herself as far
behind in the matter Of proper stand
ards as was China, who has now adopt
ed metric units.

Senate Committee Seeks to Re.
+ strict Participation on World
Commissions.
WH|RLN|ND OF DEBATE
Proposal 10 Amend Shantung Section
of Peace Treaty Brings Acra-
nonious Discussion in
Senate Itself.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Provision for
American representation on score of
international commissions to carry out
details of the peace settlement would
be stricken out of the peace treaty
under sweeping amendment adopted
by the senate foreign relations COM
mittee.
Later in the senate itself the COM
mittee's previous decision to amend
the Shantung section raised whirl-
wind of debate with Senator McCum-
Der, North Dakota, bitterly attacking
the committees course, and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending it.. Both are
Republican members of the commit,
tee.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, the Democratic leader,
talked over the possibilities Of the sit
uation with President Wilson at the
White House and predicted afterward
that all amendments would be defeat
ed eventually and that the treaty
would be ratified during September.
Divide on Party Lines.
In it's decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction
commissions, the committee divided on
party lines, the nine Republicans pres
ent standing as unit for the amend
ment and the sew Democratic votes
all being recorded N the negative.
Senator McCumber, who voted with
the Democrat, against the Shantung
amendment, was absent.
An exception was made to the COM
mittee of the reparations commission,
which is to have charge Of the collec-
ton Of Germany's indemnity bill.
Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico,
who presented the amendment, said
he had not proposed taking the Ameri-
can representative from this commits
SION because he felt American inter-
ssts might be directly involved in it's
work.
Blow at China, Says Mccumber.
In the commissions which are affect
ed by the amendment, Mr.. Fall said
American interest would be so indirect
as not to compensate for the dangers
Of becoming hopelesesly involved in
European affairs. :,
In the speech in the senate, Senator
McCumber declared the committee
majority really intended the Shantung
amendment to drive poisoned
blade" into the treaty with the pur-
pose of killing the league of nations.

INSISTS ON USE CLUB
Hoover Asserts That Time For
Pussy-Footing Is Past.
Urges Council of Five to Stern Meas,
ures in Dealing With Hungarian
Government.

Budapest, Aug. 25.-Archduke
Joseph and the cabinet Of Premier
Friedrich have resigned as a re-
suit Of the refusal of the Peace
conference to recognize them.
Paris, Aug. 25-After Herbert
Hoover's appearance before the Coun-
Gil of Five it was announced that the
council had sent note to the Hungar-
ian government declaring positively
that it would not deal with a govern
ment under Archduke Joseph or any
Of the Hapsburg. Mr. Hoover is re-
ported to have talked as plainly to
the supreme council as to the corre-
spondent.
''The time of pussy-footing and the
gentle diplomatic note has passed."
he declared. Nothing but a club
will accomplish anything in this stu
alton. Neither the Bolsheviki nor the
Hapsburgers are necessary if we have
any sense of direct action in. crisis.
It is just as much against the Bolshe-
wiki as against the Hapsburgs.
The Roumanian army had it's guns
trained on the building where the
.Peidll ministry was meeting when it
was forced to resign and a new gov
eminent was formed. It is not IN any
sense a popular government.
II consider that the American army
fought in vain if the Hapsburgs are
permitted to retain power"
Mr.. Hoover said there was no rea-
son why 10000 Roumanians should
remain in Hungary when 10000 could
keep order, as the Hungarians had
been disarmed. If Archduke Joseph
were permitted to retain his position,
Mr.. Hoover said, it was inevitable that
the Hapsburgs would make a similar
movement in Vienna

President Suggests Compromise
in'Fight of Railway Shopmen
for Higher Wages. l."
STATEMENT TO PUBLIC
Urges Postponing Final Settlement
Until Normal Times-Hold In
crease of Rates to Meet Wage
Increase Is UnWise.

Washington, Aug. ~. Postpone
ment of the settlement of wage de-
mands until normal economic condi-
lions are restored was announced by
President Wilson as the policy which
the administration will pursue in deal
ing with such questions, particularly
those affecting railroad workers.
The President announced also that
1t was neither wise nor feasible at this
time, when the most important ques-
ton before the country is return to
a normal price level, to attempt to
increase freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages.
I'VE ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the opportun-
1ty of certain calculations as to the
relation between wages and the cost
of LIVING" the President declared in a
statement to the public concerning his
decision as to wages. 1T is the duty
of every citizen to insist on truce in
such contests until intelligent settle
ments can be reached and made by
peace and common counsel. I appeal
to my fellow citizens of every employ
ment to cooperate in insisting upon
and maintaining such a truce"
Would Increase Living Cost.
President Wilson's statement was
issued in connection with the decision
of himself and Director General Hines
on demands by railroad shopmen for a
Is per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
the wage demands Of other hundreds
of thousands of railroad workers which
are pending before the director gen
eral or about to be presented. It is
to be expected that other unions try
ing to obtain more pay will be asked,
as the shopmen, to play their part
with other citizens in reducing the
cost of living by foregoing a temper
airy advantage which would add to
transportation costs.
The decision Of the President and
the director general was announced to
committee of 100, representing the
shopmen. In reply to their demands
for Is per cent increase, the shop
men were asked to accept an adjust
ment Of their pay to the basis of 10
hours pay for eight hours work, which
they contended was given other en-
ployes and denied them when the
Adamson law became effective. This
means an advance of the basic pay
from 68 to 70 cents an hour, whereas
an increase of II cents to IS cents an
