Thcro aro about 10,000 Progressives left in Indiana, according to a Democratic canvass. This would glvo tho Stato to tho Republicans by moro than CO, 000 plural ity, based on tho voto of 1914. As Tlldcn end Cleveland aro tho only Democrats who havo carried tho Stato In a squaro light In a national election In the last forty years, theso figures are not too largo. Tho Taft-Itoosovelt voto In lflljJ Was about 32,000 greater than tho Wilson ote. Good news Is not monotonous If the lesson It brings Is appreciated. Director Webster speaks well of his pet, the port of Philadelphia, and his figures epeak louder than words. If tho second half year Is as good as the first and It depends on Philadelphia to see that It Is tho port's Increase In shipping will bo eighty per cent moro than last year. Tho city's wharf rental has doubled. Tho les oon, to be sure, needs only to be learned by thoso who feel sure that to Improve the port would bo a waste of money. After the mad shlftlngs of tem perature within- tho last weeks nothing 1 aught to surprise us In tho way of ex tremes. But It may Interest Phlladel phlans to know that their city was con ( elderably warmer than Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, with respective tempera tures of 82 and 78 degrees, on a day when t18 KW.?r0Ua Proportions of the United States i allowed the temperatures to run jfrom 56 to OS degrees In various sections of tho country. It Is a peculiar thing 'that the weather drops out of extended 1 conversation as soon as It becomes iteadlly agreeable. But if it were ever (Justified as first aid to the thoughtless, , It Is In this country, where extremes and a. complete assortment of means Is avail able every day. Intensity is tho word which char acterizes the war on every front at this moment. On each side the "pushing" is being done with a furious haste. Tho , HuBslana have made the most progress, but Jt seema that their objective, the encirclement of Von Bothraer'a army, haa eluded them, nnd they will have to be content with huge territorial gains. Italy burries her armies with the strength of a newly wakened giant, and the -French drive column after column along their road to Peronne, The rush has a meaning- not too difficult to make out. A Ger man counter is to be expected, and the Entente command drives forward so that, wherever it comes, the threat of operations everywhere will be too serious to neglect. So far counter-offensives have held the British to a comparatively alow pace and have held off the Russian danger in the north, Presently, unless Germany foresees an end sooner than neutral observers, the offensive must be come a full sized movement. The four brotherhoods properly went to the trouble of a yote on the striko question and the vote was. overwhelming. The majority ruled. Set ibe leaders calmly admit that the action of their 400. 600 will throw ou,t o work at least l,8QCV tOO, and they Imply what the country knows, that the result will be disaster to t soma 190,000,000, So there Is no question ef majority control, or of the greatest 0kl of the greatest number.

The clue seems o bo one for both attitudes. The railroads are convinced that they will not bo Compelled to grant tho new de mands becaUso they am not afford to, and tho trainmen are afraid of precisely the same result. lJut tho argument of tho Brotherhoods la prlmaVlly based on tho nmumptlon thaj the railroads are growing fat while tho men ire underpaid. Tho truth of this Is subject to trial. Tho Broth erhoods will toso their chief hope, public confidence and support, It Ihey remain obstinate. THIS IS THE WAY WALK YE IN IT M",; HUGHES wns right when ho said that U is ns difficult to got tho Democrats to consider a protective tariff in good faith as to drlvo a skittish horse UP to a brass band. Tho men who write tho Democratic platforms have Insisted for years Hint 'a protecllvo tariff Is un constitutional. They refrained from making their habitual declaration this year becauso they wero afraid to chal longo tho rebuko which was Inevitable. Tho war hits changed many things, but, as Mr. Hughes remarked, It hns not changed tho American fundamental law. If a tariff for protection wore uncon stitutional In 1912 It Is unconstitutional today. Tho Democracy has refrained from saying so simply becauso it did not regard It as expedient at a tlmo when ovcry thinking cltl7.cn knows that eomt thlng must bo dona to protect American trndo when tho war ends. Instead of frankly admitting their error, tho Demo crats aro talking about ways nnd means to prevent tho flooding of American markets with Europe's surplus without rccourso to tho tried and effective method of a protective duty. Wo called attention the othor day to tho enormous foreign trade of Germany, which has been virtually ruined by tho slcgo operations of tho Allies, and re minded our readers of tho obvious fact that Gorman production has not stopped. Goods nro piling up behind tho dam that has been erected around tho Central Empires, and they will flood our markets as soon as tho way is opened. If Congress does not know what kind of protection our markets need it has lt3 own incapacity to blame for its ig norance. It can get the Information from tho Monthly Summary of Foreign Commerce of tho United States, pub lished by tho Department of Commorco. That vnluablo periodical, full of figures from beginning to end, Is a satisfactory and complete guldo. Tho party In power has already ad mitted that something should bo done to mako us independent of tho rest of tho world In tho matter of dyestuffs. Tho last Issue of tho Monthly Summary shows what tho dyestuff situation Is. In tho first cloven months "of tho fiscal year ending Juno 80 wo imported from Germany, whoro we get virtually all of our chemical dyes, exactly J819 worth of tho coloring stuffs. In tho same period of 1913-14 wo Imported $5,445,000 worth. If this means that wo should do some thing to develop our dyo works, then tho slump in importations from Germany of laces and earthenware, manufactures of furs and toys, woolen clothes and dress goods means that in a lesser degree our markets should bo protected so that our manufacturers can supply tho home de mand nnd give employment to Ameri can workmen. Take tho case of woolen clothes and woolen dress goods which Germany sent here to tho value of $3,783,000 In eleven months of 1913-14. Less than $7000 worth camo hero In the first eleven months of the last fiscal year, and wo managed to get along pretty well with out them. Our own producers have had tho market. The reduction In Imports of German toys from $0,997,000 to $2. 335,000 hp encouraged American toy makers to expand theli plants and in crease the number of their employes and to make American toys for American children. Wo can manufacture fur gar ments here as well as they can be made anywhere else, and we do not need to buy German-mado garments. It is better that Americans should get tho money paid to tho workers than that it should be paid to Germans living in Germany. American earthenware is as good as Ger man, and about as cheap. We havo the clay and wo havo the capital to finance the potteries, and we have the men who can be trained to do the work. It is not necessary to cite any more Instances. The way which Congress should go is marked out clearly in the statistical re ports of the Department of Commerce. But this Congress Is apparently too blind to see it. THE MAYOR'S DILEMMA A STRANGE commentary on the brave things said by the Mayor Saturday la the controversy between the head of the Grand Jury and one of the Jurors. There is no essential connection between the two, but the attitude of mind, the muddle, the Inability to get things done properly, effectively all these are tho things which will hamper and binder the Mayor if he ever sets out to do what he In tends. Balked by lies, eaya a juror, wo could (Jo nothing. Shrinking from piti less truth by official behest U the charge of another.

DO WAITERS NEED TIPS? To tho Editor of tho Evening Ledger: Sir I am a constant reader of your paper, and havo noticed tho nrtlelo sent In by Mr. X.,Y. 55. concerning tipping. I de plore tho gentleman's Ignorance for think ing that by tipping tho waiter $4 for a ?0 days' stny for himself and I1I3 wlfo he is so very generous. Probably Mr. X. Y. 7.. did not rcallzo tho work tho waiter did for him and tho compensation In money bo gets for it from tho houso. Ho nnd his wlfo had threo meals a day during n period of threo weeks, or rather 20 days. This means 20 times three, or CO meals, divided Into , or C 2-3 cents per meal for two persons. Now, I am acquainted with tho condi tions over at the Marlborough-Hlenhclm, whero Mr. X. Y. 55. has been staying. As at most of our big hostclrles, tho kitchen is down stairs. Now, do you think that man was well paid, after you consider how many times ho ran up and down thoso steps to rerve him? I hope tho following will glvo Mr. X. Y. 55. a better view on the whole subject of tip ping, which Is only to be understood by people who work In tho hotel business. It Is hard for people to understand who are not at nil acquainted with tho following exist Ins conditions. I rofer to tho kind llko Mr. X. Y. 55., who presumably spends only his 20-day vacation nt a hotel. As an example, I will stay right hero In Philadelphia and describe the conditions In ono of tho best known hotels in tho city. This hotel pays the waiters a salary of $25 per month. The hotel furnishes its so called uniform, consisting of a coat, for which It deducts $2 per month from the wnlter's wages. Every morning the waiters havo to pay 25 cents for a clean pair of white trousers; also, they have to buy their own white shoes. The cheapest to be had are at the rate of $2 a pair. Now, the fur ther needs of a waiter are: Dvery day, a white shirt, 10 cents; a white collar, 2 cents, and a white tie, 5 cents. These are the Chinaman's laundry rates. Now, let us flguro this up: Wages $25.'00 Deducted for uniform coat.. $2.00 Thirty pairs of trousers, at 25 cents 7.50 One pair of white shoes 2.00 Thirty shirts, at 10 cents..,, 3.00 Thirty collars, at 2 cents 60 Thirty ties (white), at 5 cents 1.50 16.60 $8.40 This leaves a balance of $8.40 per month, or $1.96 for seven days. Now, how is a waiter going to live on this humble salary If ho does not get any good outside help in the form of tips? How Is he to pay his room rent, his food, his laundry, clothes. In short, anything that necessitates a decent living? Or, how Is he going to keep a family at this inhuman salary? ' I ask how Is he going to pay for his food? I might as well add this to It: As a rule, the hotels supply their employes with food (?). The ofHcerB' food is fairly good, but In nine out of 10 cases the food given to the re mainder of their help Is unfit to eat. Natur ally, the majority decline to eat It, especially the waiters, for they have the smell of good DEMOCRATIC CONTROL To what extent what has here been said about European conditions Is also applica ble to America, American readers can best judge. To a .foreigner It appears as though the conditions of popular control were present there more fully than ln any other country. The President, It Is true, has enormous powers ; and although he can not actually declare war, he can, of course, conduct negotiations in such a way that Congress has no choice save to declare t On the other hand, the fact that he is an elected officer and ln his first terra con monly seeks re-election ; the absence of a trained bureaucracy "vlth a tradition in the conduct of foreign affairs. Indifferent to and contemptuous of the will and the judg ment of the nation; and the apparent de sire of the President to feel the support of public opinion, and for that reason to take it into his confidence these conditions Mem to offer ood guarantees that the foreign policy of America, as it comes to be more and more Important, may not e Withdrawn Into that night of secrecy In which the wars of Europe are engendered. 3.

In regard to hours of labor, which you will And to bo worso than thoso en Joyed In slavery, and I bcllcvo strongly Is tho only thing which casts a gloom onthis glorious country's civilization. Tho wnltcrs nro divided "Into two shifts, the long and short watch. Tho long watch begins work nt 6 a, m. sharp and works straight through till 3 p. m., tllen goes off duty nnd returns to work nt 5:30 p. m. sharp, nnd docs not stop working, or sit down or rest, till clos ing time, which Is betweon 1 nnd 2 a. m. Thla is a day's work of 17 V, hours. Tho next day tho same men start to work at 11:30 a. m. nnd stay on uninterruptedly till 9 p. m., or nlno hours of work. The men don't get a chanco to rest their tired limbs for n minute. This will explain why tho majority of tho waiters aro flat-footed. They work four long nnd three short watches per week, Sunday Included, of course. Thus tho work equals 97 hours per week for $1.96 wnges, or nbout 2 cents per hour. Somo salary, Indeed! The moagerest In tho world, I dare say. Now, the waiters got two days off per month, which they usually spond sleeping, or resting, to keep in shape to stand tho hard strain which Is upon thorn. This will explain why ono so very seldom encounters an American waiter. They aro all foreigners, mostly French, German and Italian. Tho Amerl cans aro too Intelligent to stay long or enter In this lino of business. Most of tho first class houses inly engage men who are able to Bpcak French, etc. A, LAMP Philadelphia, August 10. A SEEKER AFTER TRUTH To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: , 'rr"Ayh?. ln rlght nnd wno Wflnts to be rjght? Is It not a fact that we creato oui own standard of right and wrong, and Is It safe to rely upon such a standard to guide us? Aro wo doing Justice to our selves when we aro not honest In our wish to Improve. Could ono Improve without a fair and conscientious consideration of the Ideas of others, with a view of making a start in the right direction? If thero Is the absence of conviction of what Is right, or a strong Impulse after conviction to resist It or fight against It. it Is more easy to deceive yourself Into thinking wrong is right than It is to fool others. Are we willing to debate tho statement of one of the fore most of men. who said be true to yourself and you could not be untrue to any one? Should this lead to certain disclosures, am I willing to use knowledge thus gained to become more true to self? is It not the height of folly to openly defy the great laws laid down for our guidance? A man cannot justify himself In the use of profanity, He knows It Is against his sense of decency and self-respect. Giving vent to words of vulgarity nnd showing a lac of self-control Is a weakness we all admit should be overcome. The taking of a drink is not to be compared with It. Not that we don't admire and respect the stand for temperance on the part of others, but the good effect Is often lost by language and conduct that do not harmo nlze with such a standard. No amount of wrong In the life of another should In fluence us to Invite wrong into our own lives. The sole object of the writer Is to get truth and put It to use. a knowledge of right, without a desire to live up to it becomes a curse rather than a blessing ' o ' . t, . x?TD- aiOmtlSETTE.
