We cannot help admiring tho skill
with which Mr. Wilson tries to make the
worse appear the better reason.
The German protest against the
British "tanks" as inhumane is an unfair
method of warfare. It threatens to
make whole nations die of laughter.
It did not need tho New York Her
ald's poll of the voters In several States
to show the strength of Hughes. No
man with faith in the common sense and
sound Judgmont of his fellows has doubted
that Mr. Hughes would commend him
olf, to tho majority of the voters.
Republican harmony Is so com
plete that It justifies the political re
porter of the New York Evening Post in
announcing that Colonel Roosevelt is soon
to address a mass mooting of ""the mem
bers of the Ananias Club, for the purpose
of informing themXhat they are men of
the highest truth and veracity.
If tho dissolution of the Reading
combination would result in a reduction
In the price of coal to the consumer
there might be more general interest in
the prosecution of the Government's suit.
Most of us remember that the Standard
Oil Company was dissolved without any
reduction in the price of Either kerosene
or gasoline.
It would not be insolent for the
Republicans, to set out to capture the
electoral vote of the Solid South and it
la not Insolent for Mr. McCormlck to set
out to capture Pennsylvania's. But the
method proposed for changing 200,000
Pennsylvania Republicans Into Demo
crats is insolent, for It is avowedly to
hint to them that the railroad wage
Increase law is an earnest of socialistic
legislation for all wage earners.
There are probably holdbacks in
Russia who are arguing that its a waste
of money to spend two billion dollars in
constructing twenty thousand miles of
new railroad In the next five years, but
they do not; seem to have Influence
enough to prevent the plan from being
adopted. The war Has proved to' the
Government that its railroad facilities are
Inadequate, and that the investment of
capital in new lines and in extension of
the old ones will increase the wealth of
the empire by many times the sum invested.
The $00,000 ready to go out in a
ympathetic strike In behalf of the New
York carmen wore greatly exaggerated.
Call them 350,000, say the labor leaders
now. CalfMbem 176,000, say canvassers
of the workers. Call them C9.000, say
those who refuso to accept any figures
except those of workers actually ratify
ing the suspension order. And of these,
many may not go outat the last minute
even though they haye voted to. That
one-third of the adult population of New
York couJd seriously consider starting
tho combination of guerrilla warfare and
soup-houses that such a strike would
be is so unlikely that it Is surprising any
one believed it possible.

Wm the grip epidemic In this country
last winter caused by the war? Many
physicians were Inclined to believe that
it was. It was the worst since 1889, and
(t was reasonable to supposo that medical
science had greatly decreased the chances
of a severe recurrence. There came two
winters of war maladies millions of men
in Europe were victims of exposure arid
a great many must have had grip. Num
bers of convalescents pame to this coun
try and Canada, and as grip was brought
to this country originally from Europe, it
Is not unlikely that our epidemic came
from Europe. One of the measures to
prevent its recurrences this year should
bo a closer scrutiny of passengers on
'ships from Kliropa.

If we compromise with our princi

telling what dangers may confront us

seo. Senator Underwood.
QJOME one In tho ofJlcoa of tho Demo-
crntlo National Committee must have
been napping when tho statement of the
Alabama Senator containing the above
declaration was given put. Mr. Under
wood himself has charged that his party,
in enacting tho tlycstuff tariff schedulo In
tho now revenue law, turned Its back on
its principles. The natural conclusion from
the two statements h that he docs not
think there h nny Justification for the
defeat of tho Republicans four years ago,
and consequently no reason for tho con
tinuance of the Democrats in power this
year. But, of course, he does not be
lieve this. His statement is only another
example of .the difference betweon the
professions and practices of his party, Qf
which Its Illustrious leader at Shadow
Lawn has given so many.
Ono has only to look to the statements
of Mr. Hughes and the tecord of tho Re
publican party for examples of consistent
loyalty to tho great principle of protec
tion to American industry. Mr. Hughes
cited In his Nashville speech' the tariff
plank of the platform of 1860, which de
clared that "Sound policy requires such
an adjustment of imposts as to encourage
the development qf the industrial inter
ests of tho whole country." And then to
the applause of more than half of his
hearers he declared:
t
That was .the platform of Abraham
Lincoln. That Is the platform of tho
Republican party. N'ay, more, that is
the American platform on which busi
ness must stand In this day If we are
to meet the economic necessities of the
coming future.
Mr. Hughes is'not the first man to
characterize protection thus. Henry Clay
described it as the -American policy,
following Alexander Hamilton's famous
Report on Manufactures, in which the
importance of adopting a policy which
would make us an economically inde
pendent nation was set forth with such
irresistible logic that few practical men
since his timo have beep able to find any
reasons for disagreement.
To argue that because there haye been
abuses and mistakes in applying the pro
tective policy it should be abandoned la
like arguing that because men are fal
lible and occasionally criminal the human
race should bo abolished. The protec
tive policy has Justified Itself from the
beginning. 'There never was a time when
its intelligent and honest application was
more needed than the present. And as
Mr. Hughes has well said, if It Is to be
"applied In such a way as to safeguard
the interests of tfyfs country and put us
In a proper condition to meet the economic
struggle after the war is over, it must
be applied by those who believe in it"
Itds such talk as this from Mr, Hughes
that Is convincing the thinking men
throughout the country that no mistake
was made in tho selection of a Republican
candidate. He is proving that his mental
processes are the same as those of the
great statosmen who have preceded him,
and that when confronted by a grave
crisis he can be trusted to turn his back
on academic theorizing and apply the
tried and proyed remedies that have vin
dicated themselves through more than a
century of national history.
PRACTICE VS. TIIEOnY
The business of government is to see
that no other organisation Is as strong
as Itself. Mr. Wilson at Shadow Lawn.
YES, and that why the Government's
surrender to tho trainmen Is de
nounced by every one who holds that in
practice as well as in theory the Gov
ernment should be supreme.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
ei
A Democrat Disagrees Wjth John W. Frazier An Allentown Man
Disputes the Assertions of a Man From His Town.
Mommsen and the Fall of Rome
WHAT MR. FRAZIER DID NOT SAY
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir In Mr. Frazler's letter on "Dem
ocratic Destructlvo Policies" he falls to
note the following historical Incidents,
which, I believe, bear directly on the points
at Issue:
First. In mentioning panics he falls to
mention the panic of 1873, which was under
a Republican administration.
Second. He falls to mention the busi
ness depression of tho early eighties.
Third. In referring to the panlo of 1893
as hating occurred "under the Cleveland
'tariff for revenue only' " he falls to stato
that the McKlnley tariff bill remained In
force until August, 1894, and that busi
ness Improved shortly after the Wilson
tariff went into effect; that is to say. the
worst of the panic was under the McKlnley
tariff.
Furthermore, as I recall. Mr. Cleveland
called a special session of Congress to re
peal the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, a Republican measure, spon
sored by Senator Sherman, of Ohio.
Fourth. Mr. Frazier fails to mention the
business depression of 1907, when Presi
dent Ilooseelt Was forced to jleld to the
Steel Trust and to permit that corporation,
to obtain control of the Tennessee Iron,'
Coal and Coke Company.
Furthermore, during the fiscal years
1907-1909 and 1S08-1909 there were deficits
In the Federal Treasury ot $20,000,000 and
368,000,000, respectively.
' Fifth. I believe Mr. Frazier is n error
when he states that the Underwood tariff
"went into operation virtually on March
1, 1914." Most of the schedules went Into
operation In October, 1913. Only that part
of Schedule B which refers to duties on
"sugars and syrups of cane juice" became
effective March 1, 1914, and in this case
only about one-fourth of the duty was re
moved at that time. The surplus In the
Treasury on July 1, 191, was f35,OOO,O0O,
This ffljCt cannot be too strongly empha
sized, that, after nine months of the Vf
derwood tariff, in times of peace, there was
a surplus of 336,000,000 over all ordinary
expenditures. The European war began
August 1, J9I4, and so affected ajl business
that the Treasury receipts decreased. This
prompted President Wilson's statement ot
September 4, 1914. s.

GOING HAWKINS ONE BETTER
To the Editor qf the Evening Ledger:
Sir After reading Bruce Hawkins's beau
tiful letter to your paper permit jne to
suggest that the Stars and Stripes be

that Theodore llooseyelt. Senator Lodge,
Joseph Choate and the editor ot the

Canada, that the English aristocracy with
their wives be brought over and gven sal

' WHY ROME FELL
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Tha Evenino LEDqea today states.
In a reprint front the Minneapolis Journal
that the great German historian Mommsen

Inability to make up li)a mind what caused

It may Interest students of history to
know there exists a ojear and true explan

pire. ,
When the elvlza,tion marked by the
name of Rome had passed Its zenith, and
began to feel tho weight of the ashes of
decay, Cicero told the proud remnant of It
the secret of jta fajl. I refer readers tn

nation, and that tho nation or civilization
should no more hesitate to obey that
prompting than the individual should hesi
tate to obey It. Bear In mind, this was long
anterior to the simple rules of right taught
by the Judcan Master, upon which civiliza
tion appertaining to the Western Hemi
sphere bases Its hope, under tho term Chris
tianity. All civilizations have failed because the
dual nature of man has not been Incor
porated In their working hypothesis, and In
the proportion that the civilization to which
this thought is addressed recognizes the in
nate principles of the human spirit, its lease
on Time's corroding tooth will be prolonged.
The selfsame conditions to which Cicero
alluded are everywhere operative today,
and were It not for the .great adance made
by the principles of the spirit, there would
bo no more hope for It than there was for
any of Its predecessors.

ANSWERED FROM HIS HOME
TOWN
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir On reading a. letter In the Evening
LnnoEn a few evenings ago from an Allen
town correspondent, I was much surprised
on finding therein the statement that no
Intelligent Progressive expected Roosevelt to
be elected, but that they simply expected
to defeat Taft, in which they exceeded their
expectations.
If tho authqr of this statement represents
correctly the attitude of the Progressives
In 1912 he Is showing them up, it appears
to me, In a worse llght-posseBs!ng less in
telllgence and less sincerity than that with
which they were credited. For If their only
object was to defeat Taft, why, then, did
they not simply vote the Democratic ticket
and thus save at least the expense of run
ning the Progressive campaign! That, how
ever, the remarkable strength pf the Pro
gresahe movement was due to the strong
personal following of Mr. Roosevelt, and
that they felt that there was a possibility
of electing Mrn would, I believe, be admitted
by a great majority of those who voted fer
him, whether as Progressives or otherwise.
And I believe also that there were many
Republican! admirers of Roosevelt, who felt
that after he was defeated for the nomina
tion by the same steam roller tactics he had,
employed In forcing the nomination of Taft
In 1908, he should have been willing to
abide by the consequences and not headed
a third party ticket and therefore, dd not
align themselves with the Progressive
party, yet who, seeing as the campaign de
veloped that Mr. Taft could not be elected,
and feeling that as between electing Mr.
Roosevelt or a Democretlo President tho
former would be the less of two evils, de
cided eventually to vote for Roosevelt, not,
however, as Progressives, but as Repub
licans, remaining loyal to Republican prin
ciples. Such, it would appear, were the conditions
In 1912. What the result will be In 191t
remains to be seen. Certain It Is, however,
that the battle is not yet won by either
party, a,nd that Republicanism is safe only
In the united strength of a. reunited Re
publican party. E. H.

have repeated the threat, this time peremp

and 1918 and 10, or until they encounter
resistance that they cannot overcome. New
