If the Atlantic City Director of Pub lic Safoty wants to take the saloon out of politics at tho shore he might get some assistance If he would ask Director Wil son how he Is taking the police out in this city. And then again ho mightn't. It Is fortunate for Mr. Wilson that the early statesmen who wanted the Chief Executive to be called "His Highness the President of the United States and Pro tector of tho Same" did not have their way. Mo Is high and mighty all right, even If he Is not much of a protector. There nro so many Susies knitting cocks for soldiers that American needle manufacturers cannot supply the homo demand now that tho German supply Is cut off. This Is a domestic Industry which all parties should .unite in protecting, for nerve specialists say that nothing Is bet ter for neurasthenia. The failure of the stock market to shrink before the peril seems to indicate that the railroad strlko is too big to happen. Money Is nervous, but It usually keeps Its nerve. The starting of the strike would savor of dramatic disaster, but keen men know that tho stopping of the strike would be as dramatically sud 'in. You can't Indict a nation; neither "nn you murder one. Democrats In Congress aro plan ning to postpone tho proposed duties on dyestuffa until after the war, "because tho war Is giving our producers all the protection needed." Just &o. And the war Is acting as a protective wall around American Industries higher than any the Republicans ever raised, and Is preventing that disaster which would havo been overwhelming us now If the purpose of the Underwood law had not been nullified by the fighting In Europe. It Is bitter as gall to admit it. but It is true that if infantile paralysis makes furtherJjiroads among adults, adults will take pains to combat It that they did not take when they thought it was confined to children. The evidence la on the streets find In the mills. It fell from the lips of learned men of the 'Senate the other day. Labor got concessions for men and women before 'It tried to stop child labor. Capital gave concessions to men and women before it gave them to children. Children have been treated like an alien race. Mr. John R. IC. Scott said a great deal when he classified the Union League as a political club, on the ground that only Republicans can become members, although he blurred the brilliant vision a moment later by remarking that he "wouldn't like to say" the same thing of the Union Republican Club of South Philadelphia, E. H. Vare, president. Every ono knows that the Vare club is exclusively occupied with chess. Rut gen erally and democratically speaking, a policeman has as much right to play pinochle In a political club as a Director has to lunch at the Union League. If a ctb makes a policeman a better political agent, a good citizen, let him belong. But tba trouble with the political clubs U that they are not political- enough. There was a time in tho early days pf his war when British heroes were brought back home to tell great crowds how It felt to capture or kill twenty, eight, Germans single-handed ("and, wurrab, Mulvaney. with me wadin' In th bhloocl up In till me armpits"), but the time is past. Heroes didn't pay. The war U no longer a war it la an Indus trial process, It'a a question of pulver izing, 'How." said the King of Eng land the pther day, "did ypu miss that pit ot bara wall, general?"

The crowning irony is tho withdrawal of thousands of strong men, skilled mechanics, from the front to work in factories far from the sound of guns, "AMERICA EXPECTS" THE following letter has been received from Rlvcrton, Is". J.: Dear Editor Just what does the V. fc. Government expect from each cltl ren of the United Statos nftcr Its ap peal for preimreilno-.)? WILLIAM S ILvmilS A fair question. Three months ago It could liavo been answered offhand. Six months ago a. bill of partlculats could have been printed. What has. happened that Mr. Harris, and hundreds of thou sands more, do not know what the Gov ernment expects? We have an Inadequate army bill and a modest navy bill. Our National Guard has been "Federalized." I'lattsburg camps and naval cruises have enlisted citizens. These things and the flurry In Me.t.co have advanced preparedness a lit. tie way. and. naturally, once we started going we stopped talking. But we stop, ped too soon. Preparedness has been a convenient name for political conjurors, and In spite of them It has done heroic labors. It hno mnil the country think Interna tionally. It has brought up many qucs tlons. It has settled none. Not even the perfectly simple question of Mr. Harris. It Is much easier to explain what tho Government should expect, what It could do. than what It does expect and what It will do. Above all. the United States, no matter what Its Administration may be, has the right to expect a loyalty which knows no restrictions, recognizes no other allegiance, serves no other purpose than the purpose of this country. That means definitely that the Interests of any other country are not to be con sidered before the Interests of the United States, and It means that the laws and customs of this country shall not be changed to meet the requirements of other countries. It docs not mean that criticism Is treachery. It does mean that criticism must havo America first In mind. After loyalty comes service, and with service a willingness to prepare for serv ice and to undergo hardships In service. Every Government undoubtedly has the right to call for the universal service of Its citizens. The United States, as a democratic government, has the right. If it seems requisite, to expect that Horvlce to be given generously, and abundantly. The Government probably does expect taxes to be paid for national defense. It expected the National Guard to accept a Federal oath, and It was largely Justified. It expected popular support for tho two defense bills, and it was scantily Justified. The country can expect, even If the Administration does nothing to further It, that the Industries which prosper hero will give themselves to the country's de fense, will co-operate with the army offi cials, will make ready to execute war or ders, will become a part of national pre paredness. If it expects men to give their vacations to their country, and to give their lives for It. It can, by a stretch of the Imagination, expect men to give even money toward Its preservation. After tho war there will be an almost Irresistible pacifist movement, beneath which tho new preparations for war will, no doubt, be concealed. The United States can demand of its citizens that they be not carried away In this hys terla. It will further tho work of peace, but Its citizens must not make that work fruitless by placing their country In the position of a powerless suppliant. Finally, the United States can expect a more real cohesion of Its component States, a closer welding of its strangely assorted citizens as the result of Its "appeal for preparedness." We have been asked to prepare for our country. We have been suddenly faced with tho fact that our country really exists, as something distinct from other countries, with its own problems and its own possi bilities. To solve the first and develop the others is the first part of prepared ness. THE PARTY OF UNPREPARED. NESS We mutt abolish everything that bears even tho semblance of any kind of artificial advantage. The object of the tariff duties hence forth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by con test with the wits nf the rest ot the world. President Wilson's address to Congress April S, 1913. IN CONTRAST with this view Is the declaration of tho Republican plat form of 1S60, which has been repeated in some form in nearly every other plat form adopted by the party: ' Whllo providing revenue for the sup port of the general Government by duties upon Imrlorts, sound policy re quires such an adjustment of these Im posts as to encourage tho development of the Industrial Interests of tho whole . country. The Democratic platform of 183G had declared for progressive free trade, and In several platforms since then a protec tive tariff has been denounced as uncon stitutional, and a demand has been mado for a tariff for revenue only. The protective principle is repugnant to the Democracy, The avowed purpose of the Democratic leaders, as expressed by Mr. Wilson, Is to put American manu facturers on the defensive, to develop American trade by compelling our pro ducers to fight for their lives in compe tition with the rest of the world. Then If they cannot hold their own they ought tp go out of business; just as the Allies, whose defenses are destroyed by the Ger man shells, are wlpe out by the destruc tive fire, with this difference, that In stead of waiting for our competitors to destroy our defenses. Mr. WJlson would wipe them out himself to make It easier for foreigners to find out how weak we are. The European nations are planning to assault our maikets as soon as peace la declared. It requires no argument to prove that the party which has a record of move than fifty years of opposition to Industrial preparedness cannot be trusted with the command of our trade irontiers when the attaut begins EVENING Tom Daly's Column 1IEH LITTLE BltOTlinR That Mr. Rrotcn 'at comet to tee Our Xcll moat every night, Jit tMnkt an atcful lot o' we 'At'a tcftaf he docs, all right.

G ROVER CLEVELAND settled tho great railroad strlko of 1834, which affected the railroads In twenty-seven States, by calling out tho regular army and by resorting to tho Injunction. Attorney General Olncy held that Debs and his associates were engaged in a conspiracy In restraint of commerce be tween the States, In violation of the pro. visions of the Sherman anti-trust law. He sued out Injunctions ngalnst them. Tho Supremo Court of tho United States sustained tho lower courts In their Inter pretation of the law. In Justifying tho nctlon of the Attorney General, Justice Brewer, who wrote tho opinion In tho Debs case In 1S95, said: It was not a bill (of injunction) to command a keeping of the peace, much less was Its purport to restrain the de fendant:! from abandoning whatever employment they were engaged in. The right of any laborer, or any number of laborers, to quit work was not chal lenged. Tho scope and purpose of this bill was only to restrain forcible ob structions of the highways along which Interstate commerce trains and mails were cqrrled. Mr. Cleveland. In tho Princeton lec ture In which ho reviewed tho history of the strike and the nctlon of the Govern ment, concluded by declaring that "those who were most nearly related to tho troublous days may well especially congratulate themselves on tho part which fell to them In marking out tho way and clearing the path, now unchangeably established, which shall hereafter guide our nation safely In the exercise of the Important functions which represent tho people's truest." Tho "unchangeably established" method to which Mr. Cleveland referred was tho resort to an Injunction to prevent strikers from Interfering with Interstate com merce. It worked in 1894. Within a very few days nfter tho arrest and Imprison ment of Debs tho strike collapsed, and the workers returned to their posts. Of course, the regular army had something to do with restoring order, but so long as Debs was nt large the trouble con tinued. He disregarded the Injunction, nnd was punished for contempt of court. Government by Injunction Denounced It was In 1904 that Mr. Cleveland en tertained the view that the unchange able path had been marked out. Ills own party and the labor organizations began to denounce "government by injunction" as soon as It was resorted to. The Dem ocratic platform of 1896 declared that "wo especially object to government by Injunction as a new and highly danger ous form of oppression," referring to Cleveland's course In 1894. The platforms of 1900, 1904 and 1908 contained similar condemnation of the resort to the Injunc tion. , , The demand that the Sherman anti trust law be so amended as to exempt labor unions from its provisions was In sistent for several years. But Congress declined to make the exemption. The first Congress of the present Adminis tration, however, took up the matter, and in the Clayton amendments to the Sherman act it provided that nothing in the anti-trust laws should be construed to forbid the existence of labor organiza tions, and that no such organization and no member of such an organization should "be held or construed to be illegal com binations or conspiracies in restraint of trade under the anti-trust laws." The amendments went further, for In Section 20 they provided that no injunctions should Issue In a dispute between laborers and employers except when irreparable dam age to property was threatened, The LITTLE, BUT THINKING A LOT J XN .WW S to the Sherman Anti-Trust Law law expressly provides that no Injunction shall forbid tho men to stop work or to persuado others to stop work or to boycott any party to a labor dispute. Tho labor organizations have been un der the Impression that theso amend ments have destroyed the power of the Government to Interfere In a railroad strlko as Cleveland Interfered in 1S91. Tho courts have not passed on them and we havo nothing to guldo us but the opin ions of lawyers. Somo experts insist that tho labor organizations havo been bun coed by tho Democratic Congress and that tho President hag the same power to prevent interruption In Interstate com merce that ho enjoyed under the un amended Sherman law. Others Insist that as it was tho purpose of tho Demo cratic Congress to redeem Its pledge to put an end to government by injunction nny Democratic President who resorts to tho Injunction In a labor dispute will violate tho spirit of tho law as well as tho pledges of his party. And they clto In proof of their view the declaration of tho law that no labor organization and no member of a labor organization can bo guilty of any conspiracy in restraint of trade under the anti-trust statutes.

BRITISH CONTROL OF AMERICAN TRADE Acting Secretary Polk's protest against the British blacklist of American merchants was a weak little squeak. It bore the air of a poor relation begging for a favor. And It might as well not have been written at all, bo long as our Pro-British Government permits British Consuls to dictate. In every American ocean port, what shipments of American goods can or cannot bo sent to our customers in neutral countries. This is the real blacklist. It has been In use al most since the war began.

WHAT A BABY COSTS "How much do babies cost?" said he, Tho other night upon my knee, And then I eald, "They cost a lot ; A lot of watching by a cot, A lot of sleepless hours and care, A lot of heartache and despair, A lot of fear and trying dread. And sometimes many tears are shed In payment for our babies small. But they are really worth it all." For babies people have to flay A heavy price from day to day; , There is no way to. get ono cheap. Why, sometimes when they're fast asleep You have to get up in the night And go and see that they're all right But what they cost In constant care And worry does not half compare With what they bring of Joy and bliss. You'd pay much more for just a kiss. Who buys a baby has to pay A portion of the bill each day ; He has to give his time and thought Unto the little one he's bought. He has to stand a lot of pain Inside bis heart and not complain. And pay with lonely days and ad For all the happy hours he's had,.
