With saying that the President's denun
ciation of ttld hyphen Voter la for public
cortsumplloh only, as ha la In hearty
sympathy With the German-Americans,
th9 Senator dentca It. Mr. Bryan, who
told Ambassador Dumb tho same thing,
did not take the trouble to say thnt he
had been misquoted; but then he waa
esttght with 'the goods.
it
Italy's blow near Trieste, added to
tlid continued Allied successes on the
Macedonian .front, may moro tlan offset
the German victories over the Kuma
hbtns. The objectlvo of Cudorna's drive
Is hot so Important as the fact that the
heavy Austrian losses must b made good
by reinforcements which at this time the
Dual Monarchy can HI nrrord to draw
Jtm other hard-pressed fronts.
Much of tho critlolam of guardsmen
Was unjust and la properly resented by
officers who have returned from the
border. But it waa never tho men them
' selves who were tho object of the crltl
1 e4m of atnateUra, however much their
toadre pafelesaly worded statements may
itaVe hurt. The unmllltary spirit of legls
, lfttton and admlnlatrtttloh fdr the army
Vraa always the target of those who de
tMnded better things.
Tom Daly's Column
If real cstata In the pfthlml ,1lthlp
t the city Is underassessed, as Prosldontl wl" arlae-
CMlwell, of the Corn Exchange Bank,
eArges, there la only one thing for the
rMesaora to do. Mr. Cain ell asserts that
i Ml one district covering a single sriuara
1 Wie property Is held by the owners
M a value of (200,000,000 In excess of
'ftti aunt oil Which It Is taxed. The law,
yw believe, requires the assessment of
jMl estate at IU full value, Aasumlhg
JaV. CalwaU'a figures are correct, a fair
fcwassiHewt In this district would increase
W 2.0fcA06 tlie Ux returna with the rate
at f 1 a hundred. This would go a long
Wy toward meeting the needs ot the olty
ttt additional revenue.
NOT SUICIDE, DUT LIKE
'tTTO Alin being dally convinced, beyond
V reasonable duiibt, that an unhc-trdot
flood ot Immigrants will pour Into Amer
ica the moment the dnm of war breaks,
and also that thero Is going to bo hardly
any Immigration worth speaking ot for
years.
Tho killing of millions of workers In
the war will hiiva created u dearth of
labor when ntlropa will bo In most need
of It for reconstruction; thereforo labor
will stny In Europe, attracted by high
wages. The national debt ot tho be!
Ilgetehls U so tremendous that Ufa will
bo a burden for years; therefore labor
will leave Europe, discouraged by high
taxes. But, after all, the "economic man"
has a heart as woll as a pocket nerve, No
Is not a machine. Economically speaking,
there should havo been not one man
Itvlhg In the neutral countries no blind
to his own Interests ns to return to Eu
rope to enlist in the army nf his native
land. BUt tho actual (though romantic)
fact was that many thousands returned
to die on the battlefield. And most ot
them had thought tlioy had left their
home across the seas forever. Itow much
more, then, would those who never emi
grated, and whose devoted spirit kept the
war going and saw It through, stick to
tho old ship when tha light was done?
Patriotism Is tho great factor, most Im
portant of all, which Is left out ot tho
reckoning, by tho disputing economists.
It Is Such a mystical and variable thing
that It cannot bo'reduced to figures.
What the cold figures do snow, how
ever, Is that tho war brought an nctUat
loss ot population to the United States,
leaving out ot account tho birth rate.
Moro persons left tho country than en
torod it In the fiscal year dndlng June 30,
1915384,174 emigrants to 326,700 Immi
grants. There has been nn immigration
Increase In tho first eight months of 1916
over tho sumo months In 191B 217,874,
hgalhst 18B.2C9 but not OrtoURh to assure
a net gain of alien population during tho
war. It tho year which ended Just be
fore the war began the immigrants had
exceeded tho emigrants by about 600,000,
Thero may, Indood, bo a return to this
condition for a time aftor the war. There
may be a flood of alien workers. But thero
Is' Just as much reason to believe that
many dt them will soon go homo again.
When Hurope's Industries have gained a
fair start slio will put up tho prlco
ot labor until sho has onough of It. Tha
Idea that the industries and beftt workers
of the World are going to bo transferred
to tho United Btatcs Is phnhtasmnl. -Europe
Is not fighting to commit sulcldo,
but to live.
This Is Indeed a fine d renin for tho
Democratic prosperity monger, for why
should ahy one want a protective tariff
If Europe is coming over hers to live?
To provo to you that America's prosent
prosperity Is permanent he will engage
to demonstrate that thero Is to be an
America Industrially dominant over a do
pleted Europe and embracing free trade
as naturally as England did when hert
factories ruled tho industrial world and
other nations hod only Infant Industries.
A beautiful dream, but what aro tho
facta? First, that oven In warlmo En
i ope Is doing marvels in industrial ac
tivity and development. Second, that
groups of Wofkera who hp.d never figured
prominently as labor factors are In action,
Including many thousands of women who
havo learned how much better It Is to
work at a trade than to spend sixteen
hours a day slaving In .other women's
kitchens. Third, that there Is every rea
son to believe that' this Industry will tako
a great leap forward the moment pence
Is made, and that a competition with
American goods of startling dimensions

FAITH EMBODIED IN BRICK AND

THE age of faith has not como to nn
end in aplte of tho ossartlona to the
contrary of many free-thlnklng writers.
Wa wara told a few years ago that no
more great cathedrala would be built. Tho
world had grown material. Spiritual thlnga
had ceaaed to Ihtarest It Tha devout faith
which had once led men to devote their
wealth to the Church no longer moved
society.
But tha facta do hot Justify ahy such
pesefmlstlo, view- While the propheta of
materialism were talking tha tloman
Catholics built WetmrUter Cathedral In
London, which compares favorably In size
and architectural distinction with many
ot tha gieat churches built in the Middle
Agea. The Protestants, represented by tha

THE HECKLER TALKS BACK
To the Editor Of the Kvrntnp Lcdptr:
Blr Mr. Hughes failed to answer to the
question of the Danbury hatters' case at
the Metropolitan opera House last Monday
night sd that Jl Would satisfy nny fair
minded man. I deny emphatically that ho
backed up the law of the land In handing
down a dec'sion In tho Danbury-hntters'
case. Any one who heard Mr. Hughes's
reply or read It should have noticed quickly
that Mr. Hughes has weakened on the
question. He tried to Justify the decision
by putting the worklngman In the same
category with tho business man.
A worklngman Is )0 more a business
man than the master Is a Sluve. What
business would Mr. Hughes ndvleo the
worklngmen of the coUtitry to go Into If
there was u general lockout? Mr. Hughes
answered the same as a man who is asked
what ho would dd If it would rain. "It
It rain."
He backed up the law of the land.
A very clever politician, perhaps. Is Mr.
Hughes. T,IG HHCKLKIl.

THIS MAN LIKES WILSON
To the Jdltor of the flttenlntf Ledger:
irT ronlv to Mr. Fraxler's pointless
letter, I want to tepeat that It Is no ques
tion of party In November. It Is whether
the Oovernmcnt of America, for America
nnd by America, shall.be perpetuated or
not. The disintegration of America will
begirt from the data of . t. Ill,
In event ot iiugneaa ., ..- ...
Oerman nllens are aeaklng to estubll.h
their control of the UnltcO States Onvern
ment by defeating Won and making
Hughes realize that his wish to be re
elected In 120 must depend on his con
duct toward his Teutonlo masters, not a la
Wilson's stand for America's rlghta accord
ing to International law,
The llrst result of Wllson'a defeat would
mean our chaotld diplomacy alld man the
White House as a marble tomb, for the
defeated occupant's lnliuence With any of
Hie belligerents or nny of the foreign
Powers would cease, from November till
March, when his Wrm expires. Tbe now
President cannot chahg tha Wilson poll
clea without war or endangering peace.
Hemembe that Mr. ford ays that tho
stamp of Wall ' street, of the interests,
which' see through dollar-marked apectaolea
and can thlhk only In term of ln.hhe..l,
is upon the opposition to Wllsoha ra
election. B.hlnd that ol.pd.l ton iiaVa ra

ten years. The panic was so damaging to
American prosperity that not even the re
sumption ot specie payments restored nor
mal business conditions. The panlo was
charged to the Republican party and Presi
dent Grant's enormous majority in 1872 was
changed to tho close race of 1816, Further"
more, no Ilepubllran except Garfield ever
received a popular plurality from 1872 to
1898.
The panic of 1907 produced two deficits
In the Federal Treasury totaling 878,000,
000 and caused President Roosevelt, fearing
more serious conditions, td yield to the Steel
Trust and agree not to oppose the absurp
tlon ot tho Tennessee Iron and Coal Com
pany by that trust. Evidently Mr. Itoose
velt thought the panic was growing rapidly
and would soon be out of the "baby" class.
Doubtless Mr. Frasler will recall that Mr.
Harrison's Administration was repudiated
by the people In 1890, A Democratic House
of Representatives, by 148 plurality, 'shows
that tlihes were not good and that the coun
try was dissatisfied with Mr. Harrison.
That condition grew worse until 1892, when
nenrly tha entire country went Democratic.
Mr, Cleveland found panicky conditions In
March, '91 so bad. In fact, that the panic
calna to Its Worst early In '94, while the
McKlnleV law was still In force. It having
remained In force until August, 1894.
The Wilson bill became u law In August,
1894; business Improved, until In 1896 the
tariff was not an Issue. The larger ques
tions of the rights ot society came to the
fore In 1890 and have been the "big" Issue
ever since
I stated that there was a surplus July 1,
1614, of 116,000,000. That -was the last
time we had a fair opportunity to Judge
ot the revenue-produolng qualities of the
Underwood tariff. To Justify the last state

The farmers are only beginning to ap

advance their class Interests through po

labor Is being learned, and there is a marked
tendency on tho part of the men who con

PIFFLERS AND PATRIOTS
President Wilson, with that academic
serenity which scoffs at consistency in the
use of language, says the "alternative of
peace Is war." The late Thomas Jefferson
It was who said, "Whatever enables us to
go to war secures our peace." That's one of
tha differences between a plfller and a

Ilut what ot that? AU llHleal platforms
of all political partlea are at bast but devloj
to catch volts, and If more votes can ba
caught by breaking than by keeplMg the
