TERRinLE EMERGENCIES
At-I. apology for the unprecedented
XXwnge-lncreaa legtstatlon forced upon
the nation by the surrender ot the Ad
ministration to a small fraction ot tho
railroad employes, when stripped of tech
nical defenses such as would be made
only by the awful lawyers whom Mr.
Wilson flays so sraadlly, cotnes to this
final plea, "It was a terrible emergency."
WhyT Because, the Democratic orators
declared, If the railroad trains had stop
ped running for twenty-four hours there
would have been no milk for the little
children In the big cities. Milk, that
most perlshablo and vital product, would
have gone to famine prices In a twinkling;
only by thousands of autos being com
mandeered ns In war times and rushed
with the precious bottles Into the towns,
would even the babies ot ths rich have
been kept alive. This terrible emergency
was never to rlso again, but It had
arisen, and so the railroad employes must
have what they wanted nnd havo It quick.
Many person swallowed that for
a white, because they understood tho re
lationship between babies nnd milk very
well, nnd tho relationship between labor
and the President not at nil. Then, be
foro that tcrtiblo emergency was well
out of the way till after election, onother
terrible emergency arose. AH tho street
car men In Now York city threatened to
strike, nnd every group of malcontents
In every other organized Industry, em
boldened by the Administration's labor
dictum, threatened to Join tho walk
out. Inviting tho longshoremen ot tho
wholo Atlantic seaboard, tho butchers
nnd every ono everywhere In New York
and adjacent States, with or without a
grievance, to quit work. Tho Washing
ton medicine was urged at Albany. It
was urged thnt tho Now York Icgtslaturo
do what Congrcsi had dono, Intcrvcno and
fores a settlement by hasty legislation.
This was not dono, nnd presently tho
crisis died down. Interstate and Inter
national trado wont on as usual, after
all. Consequently, the Administration
orators aro free to contlnuo their pralso
of what thoy havo done for the farmers.
Dut now another terrible emergency
arises. Theso very farmers, whom the
Administration Is helping to pay off their
debts (In forty years), nro on strike. Milk,
precious and absolutely last lrrcducl
bio minimum necessity, Is to bo cut off
from New York cltyj partly Is now, en
tirely will bo If tho farmers don't get
their way. Bo tho torrlblo emergency
which tho Wilson railroad wage-Increase
bill savod tho babies from was not tho
only terriblo emcrgoncy that could con
front u baby. Moro than that, this
spirit of emorgency spreads handily from
Now York to Philadelphia, because the de
mand for milk In tho metropolis goes
Into tho territory which supplies this
city.
Tho situation Is Indeed capablo ot as
suming serious proportions. But It must
bo remembered thnt tho price of nearly
evorythlng except milk has gono up, and
thnt an advance In milk was eventually
to bo expected. Tho farmers' talk of
throwing milk to tho hogs rather than
take current prices for It Is vastly ex
aggerated, for they are less able to stand
such losses than even the babies. Do
thoy look to tho spirit ot terriblo
emergency at Washington for a sudden
change In their fortunes? A special ses
sion of Congress might find a. way out
The state of mind In such dilemmas
is significant. It betrays tho fallacy ot
talk of tho "labor voto." Tho wage
Increase law did not help farm labor,
evidently. Indeed, Increased freight rates
to coma as Its result would pare down
still more tho farmer's profit on his milk!
No ono was helped by that law except
certain railroad employes, and they aro
tho only group In what Is called labor
that has shown any consuming desire to
Indorse It

DISAGREES WITH LLOYD GEORGE
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Germany and hor allies aro virtually
fighting the cause of tho American people
agalmit ths oolossally evil and corrupt In
fluence of Wall street nnd, Incidentally, nil
tho reactionary and extortionate theories
and customs which that community so per
sistently and heedlessly represents. For
oerwhelmlng!y evident nnd Irrefutable Is
tho fact that a conclusive triumph for Eng
land and her allies would bo logically
bound to tighten and mako still more des
potic the grip of high finance upon tho Ufa
ot our llepubllc But a lctorlous ending
ot tho European conflict to the credit ot the
Germanic combine of arms unquestionably
meami a definite beginning for the economic
emancipation ot America and ultimately a
similar unfettering for tho entlro world,
Tho extensively Interlocked and reptlllnhly
cnslmlne financial systems of England and
America aro most assuredly. ns brutal and
lllalnous and Immeasurably moro con
trmptlble In their concealed treatment of
humanity than la the exposed militarism of
tho whole of Kuropo.
That Is my answer to David Lloyd Oeorge
In his late.it baldly preposterous statement
that old England Is actually battling for
Justice. Tha Invariable urrogance und con
summate thlevory of modern England In
the Transvaal and In Ireland, In India and
In Egypt substantially refute tho glided
essenco and powerfully proclaim the utter
fallacy of such a contention.

DOUBTS AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Blr llegardlass ot our one-sided Amer
ican neutrality, there are still a few In this
country In whom the spirit ot 1778 Is not
dead, and who would put up a vigorous
kick against being again tied to mother
England's apron strings.
I say one sided neutrality advtscdly For
If, ns Mr, Hawkins says, his friends In Eng
land are urging him to do all he possibly
can to keep the present Administration In
power, no further evidence Is needed to
show that It Is regarded as favorable to
the Interests ot the Allies. Furthermore,
If men like Bruce Hawkins and others who
stand by him know what they are talking
about when they tall us that there are mil
lions ot men in America, among whom are
mentioned personally some of our moat
noted men, who favor sentiments similar to
those expressed by them, then this country
would face a situation In a war with Eng
land fully hs unenviable and as dangerous
as any that has been portrayed to us In a
war with Oermany because of the hyphen
ated Germans as In preaching loyalty
to England they evidently are not even hy
phenated, but are Englishmen In toto, and,
such being the case, the question would be.
Would they fight In the interests of America
or those of BnglandT
Theae things aro facts and not "dreama."
We set up a tremendous "howl" beeause ot
the Oerman propaganda In this country,
which, ot course, It Was our duty to sup.
press. Uut when English subjects become
bold enough to preach and to try to pro
mulgate such doctrines in this country as
to unite our navy with tha British navy
and enter aaalh the royal household as a
"wayward daughter," and with nearly all
the rest ot Ute civilised world pouncing upon
Oermany, Unglaad determined to fight the
war to a finish, satisfied with nothing lass
than coinsletely eruahlns; and annihilating
Qonaanr, U K hot time that we beeome

WILSON PROSPECTS AT HOME
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Having been advised by President
Wilson, In his Shadow Lawn ncceptnnco
of a presidential nomination that "We
must assess the past In order to correctly
Judso the future," I have applied my ex
perience gained under direction of a court
of Justice in making political assessments
of the past In order to "correctly Judge
tho future, and my latest diversion Is In
making an assessment of tho primary voto
cast In New Jersey on September 26 In
order to rorrectly Judge ths reautt of the
general election In that Stato on Novem
ber 7. This la tho result of my assessment
and appraisal: ,
In tho presidential election of 1912 In
New Jersey Woodrow Wilson received
171,219 votes, Colonel Roosevelt, 145,410,
and W. H. Tatt, 88,850 votes. The vote cast
for Wilson was 43 per cent of tho total, to
67 per cent cast for tho Progressiva and Re
publican candidates.
Tho total vote cast at 'the primary elec
tion was approximately 252,247, of which
173,558 votoB were cast for tho three Re
publican candidates for Governor and
78,669 for the Democratic candidates for
United States Senator 89 per cent for tho
Republican and 31 per cent for the Demo
cratic party candidates, at the primary
election of September 7.
Estimating that the total voto for Presi
dent In New Jersey In November next will
be 413,534 votes tho samo ns It was In
1912 It Is likely to be considerably less
and appraising tho 'vote at fho general
election at the samo ratio of percentage
as that cast on September 26, It would give
Mr. Hughes, for President; Mr. Edge, for
Governor, and Mr. FrellnghuyBen, for Sen
ator, a total of 285,338 votes, to 128,196
for Mr. Wilson, for President. Mr. Witt
pen, for Governor, nnd Mr. Martlne, for
Senator, My assessment of the primary
vote of September seems to make the ap
praisal 157,142 Republican majority in No
vembcr, "Who wins tho foremost foeman's life.
That party conquers In the strife."
Tho first blood won In this strife was
the Congressional baseball match, when Re
publican Congressmen defeated Democratlo
members for the first time In three years.
Ths second victory was In the jrreat con
test In Maine, where one-halt ot the Presi
dent's Cabinet, nnd Senators James, ot
Kentucky; Lewis, of Illinois; Underwood,
ot Alabama) Williams, ot Mississippi, bat
tled royally for Wilson, and the third and
most humiliating defeat for Democracy waa
at the New Jersey primary.

of the "Hook ot Common Prayer" there is
this to bo said. No convention ot modern
churchmen possesses the scholarship re
quisite to Improve on It, and it Its sonorous
and mighty phrases be delivered with the
elocutionary effect their splendid harmony
and uncompromising clarity merit, there
will be no complaint ot them, even from the
members of a cosmoplltan population.

DO YOU CARE
Alone In my room In the twilight,
With all so quiet, my ears
Catch the echo ghosts of the whispers
You spoke tn tly old. glad years;
And I, who snore that my soul no more
Should yearn for a face that's fair,
Now recall old days and their tender grace,
And wonder If yet you care.
Do you ever, as I. hear the mueto
Deemed sweet by you and by me
In the tremulous light that never
Shone yet on the land or seaT
That your wreath lives yet In the mig
nonette. And your laugh In some fugttlve air,
And he light ot your eyas In the.aorning
sktee 1
Would you, knowing all tills, yet carer
Might I elesfi yetir bafid In the sllanee,
Resetted out o'er the desolate pastl
Mlsht I praae one ktsa on your ferefeead,
Theugh the pUaaure kfeeitM'be My laaU
Ilelfhlio! Varawell te the dreams tint
dwell
As ghosts la the gtooM bask there I
Yet I wish I knew that yaar heart beats
