What do you think the boys down on the Mexican border call It? t "The drift to Wilson" is unmistakeable, and he'll be buried out of aight when the wave hits him. Attacks on the Americanism of Charles E, Hughes fairly measures the desperate straits of th democratic campaign. : The administration's success in directing pub lie affairs in San Domingo promises to top its graveyard score in Mexico. " - ,' , Bull Moose Leader Cochems is another of the big men in that faction who can see more hope in Hughes than in Wilson. Merc man steadily shrinks in the spotlight of world affairs. Even in a political yellfest his vocal powers in suffrage Colorado are as a tin whistle to a calliope. Omaha housekeepers who exercise caution in admitting strangers at the front door have themselves to blame for lapses of vigilance at the side and back doors. Omaha certainly convinced Maestro Campi nini and hit song-birds that good music is appre ciated hereabouts. ' Patronage and applause alike i were complimentary of the company. Non-brotherhood railway employes, and some who are members of unions, are seeing the appli cation of the Adamaon law in a way that isn't calculated to make votes for Wilson. . ' Authors of democratic publicity dope are not wholly to blame. The finished product cannot rise abovt the quality of the raw materials. The chief surprise is how they escape being run in as bunco steerers. 'Official returns from nine express companies show a 400 per cent increase in income during the last fiscal year. The gain over the fiscal yeas- 1914-1915 transforms a celebrated line of lamentation into chortles of joy, i Argentine corn has been competing with American corn on the home market for three years past under democratic free trade, It is one of several wide-open doors for foreign com petition with American products. Only the up set of normal trade by war aaves American farmers from the disastrous effect Of democratic tariff blunders. ' 1 Brandeis Vindicated Sprtallleld (Maaa.), Republican. Americanism aa An Issue. At no time has the patriotism or loyalty to American institutions of Charles Evans Hughes been questioned. His whole life has been one of unswerving devotion to the highest ideals of citizenship, and intense effort to preserve in all its purity the democracy on which our govern ment is founded. No better type ol the true American has ever been presented. These ad mitted facts confront the democrats in their eleventh-hour attempt to inject into the presi dential campaign the so-called "hyphenate" issue. President Wilson deliberately insulted a large number of good American citizens two years ago, and has persistently repeated the insult, questioning their loyalty and expressing doubts as to their citizenship. Victor Ridder of New York has furnished ample prSof that while the president was thundering his anathema against the "hyphenate," Postmaster General Burleson and Senator William J. Stone, chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs, were secretly making promises to influential German Americans in New York, in an effort to secure their support for the democratic party. This was imitating the action of Mr. Bryan, who gave Baron Duniba assurance the president didn't mean what lie said. It is now made cleat that before President Wilson denounced Jere miah O'Leary and his associates as ilisloy.il, Martin Glynn, former governor of New York and keynote sounder at St. Louis, persuaded O'Leary to hold back his action until consulta tion could be had and pledges secured that would mollify the affronted Irish-Americans. When O'Leary and his associates declined to go along with Wilson, the air of Shadow Lawn was rent with thunders against them, ,No place can be found in a campaign for the election of a president for the alignment of citi zens as representatives of a particular race. They must taks part as American citizens or not at all. This is plain to every voter of for eign birth or lineage, and none will resent the democratic efforts to herd them into racial groups more surely and effectively than these citizens themselves. This latest outburst of Vance McCormick and his coadjutors should recoil against Wilson, who has been the only president since Buchanan to serve a section and undertake to divide the citizenship into groups. When Mr, Brandeis, in the year 1910, de clared that the railroads of this country could save $1,000,000 a day by instituting economies in operation he was ridiculed and abused by smart railroad experts and writers tor corporation Jour nals from end to end of the United States. Mr. Brandeis after six years has been vindicated. In a recent address on , "The Problem of the Railroads," by Ivy L. Lee', former assistant to the E resident 'of the Pennsylvania railroad and of ite one of Mr. Rockefeller's most trusted lieu tenants, has this generous confession to make; "Justice Louis D. Brandeis has been a far better friend of the railroads than either he or they knew. Mr. Brandeis, in the rate advance case of 1910 said and pointed- out methods . whereby the railroads could, by instituting proper . ... ; i rut run ...... 1 economies, save i,uw,wu a aay. 'That of course, was a mere araDhic estimate. But It is an astonishing fact and more than a coincidence that the railroad net operating in come for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, was about $308,600,000 more than what it was for the preceding year, or about Si. 000.000 in crease for each business day in the year the first rear in Which the railway -plant has been - utilized to capacity since Mr. Brandeis made his estimate. The railroads have found that their capacity for handling traffic was greater than they had thought and they have found it feasible , to institute economies which they had considered impossible. "Marvelous improvements are being made in locomotive efficiency, especially through the use or cne super-neater. J lie rennsyivania railroad saved over 10 per cent in its coal bill last year, and such further improvements are now consid ered possible that perhaps 50 per cent of that company's coal bill may be saved within another year or two. Such a saving on the Pennsvlvania railroad alone would mean over $5,000,000 a year, or I per cent on the company's - capital . Sloe. What of the superheater referred to bv Mr. Lee as such a wonderful money-saver? Was there anything new about it, when the Pennsyl vania railroad introduced it? One reads else where, what is undoubtedly true, that this super heater "was in use in Germany a good many years ago. It was in use in Canada for ten years before it was used in the United States." Mr, Brandeis' vindication seems to carry with it a discreditable reflection upon our richest and most advanced American railroads as being be' buia the tunes. . Disquieting News From the Border. Little news is coming through from the Mex ican border, but such as does filter through the censorship is disquieting. From Mexico, come reports of movements that give color to rumors current to fhe effect that Carranza is losing his hold on the faction he dominates, and is pre paring to leave the country. No definite word has yet been sent out concerning the election held on Sunday, when delegates to a constitu tional convention were to be chosen at Car- rahza't behest. This purely political move evi dently was planned to convey. 'the impression that order it being restored in Mexico, but the mystery that surrounds, the outcome is nqt cal culated to increase confidence in the capacity of the "first chief or his ability to control the sit uation. The movement of large bodies of Mex ican troops into the state of Chihuahua, osten sibly to push the suppression of- brigandage, take on an ominous cast when coupled with the fact that preparations are being made by our War department to maintain not only the forces on the border, but the forces across the border in Mexico, in their present status. People of the United States, and especially of those states whose troops are on the border, would welcome a little more frankness on the part of the gov ernment, and certainly Would appreciate some definite information as to what is to be done in Mexico. Where the Joker it Joked. Swinging round the circle with his senatorial boss, the pen-picture artist assigned to gather the political dope for newspaper consumption found it impossible to resist the temptation to include the following in his report: J. C. Kiley caused some merriment at Oshkosh by the story he told of faithfulness to the World-Herald subscription list. "I have taken the World-Herald for twenty-six years," he said. "Twenty-one years ago, dur ing the hard times, I figured I would have to give it up, but my wife and t talked it over and I decided to go without tobacco and keep the World-Herald. I cut out tobacco for three months until I could afford both that , and the paper. I've never missed since. Had the thoughtless scribe only taken time for computation he would' have discovered that going back twenty-one years landed him in the year 1895, right In the middle of the last demo cratic administration preceding this one. The testimonial to the W. H., therefore, is also a re minder of what has overtaken the country every time we have had a democratic tariff in opera tion unobstructed by war. It is also a convincing esttmomal to the good times enjoyed under the republican administrations, which made it possi ble later to retain both newspaper and tobacco. Old Subscriber is to be complimented on pos sessing so vivid a memory, .but also to be com miserated ,on manifesting such poor judgment as to prefer the W. H, to the solace of tobacco. War With San Domingo. Two more American officers and a number of privates have been killed, and several wounded, in the little war we are carrying on in San Do mingo. This grows out of a commendable effort on the part of the government to restore order in the island, give the Dominicans and Haitians responsible government and to enable them to carry out engagements with European countries for which the United States stands sponsor. This little war has been going on for months, but all the time our president and his party supporters are insisting that he "kept lis out of war.' Announcing the fact on its front page, the Omaha World-Herald editorially inquires if "American fathers and mothers are willing that their sons be sent into foreign lands to be shot or die of disease" in order that the United States may afford protection to Americans abroad. How much longer will the people listen to this yawping about keeping us out of war? Were not the soldiers killed at Carrazal sons of Amer ican fathers and mothers? Or those that died at Vera Crua? And those who have just been killed In San Domingo? Isn't it time for the American people to realize that instead of keep ing us out of war, President Wilson has had his country in war continually since he sent forces to Vera Cms in June, 1914? , Two earthquake shocks felt in southern Cali fornia rudely remind San Franciscans that the metropolis is losing its grip. Letters of a Politician, to Jlis Sotv Hi Dear Jack: So they are after you now to overawe you with the great stunt put across by President Wil son when he drove the so-called eight-hour work day bill through congress to save the country from a disastrous railroad strike? I rather ex pected them to parade this wonderful perform ance before you, though, if your democratic friends gave the matter the least bit of thought, they would carefully avoid mentioning it, for of all Wilson's succession of blunders and misrepre sentations this eight-hour day bill is the quintes sence. In the first place, it doesn't give anybody an eight-hour day who has been working more than eight hours, as an railroad trainman will tell you, but it merely gives ten hours' pay for eight hours' work and overtime pay at the same rate for the hours in excess of eight. It is a wage increase measure and nothing else, and, at that, increases by 25 per cent the wages of the highest paid railroad employes, who need it the least, and, of course, if the extra money goes to them, it can't go to any of the vast army of lesser paid railroad employes. - In -the second place, assuming that the wage increase is deserved and right, who is going to foot the bill? Surely not the railroads for any length of time. The roads will recoup by raising rates for their transportation services and it will be shoved along on the dear public. Forcing a rate-raising bill through congress by the stop watch method would not be so popular with the voter and so is apparently deferred, but the voter who has foresight and intelligence ought to be able to look that far ahead, and, if he does, he will see what is coming. - In the third place, the hold-up method of frightening or bulldozing congress into legis lating money into the pockets of a comparatively small class, doing it at break-neck speed, without deliberate discussion or even time to investigate and without pretending to be in possession of the facts, is about as dangerous a precedent as could possibly be set. Who was really wielding the powers of our government while the four brother hood leaders were holding their watches on the president and congress and brandishing a strike club ready to fall unless their bill were made into law before the hands revolved to the appointed minute mark? What is to prevent the same four brotherhood leaders usurping executive and legis lative authority again and again in the same way? Suppose they want another pay increase next winter and issue a strike order to be re scinded only when the lawmakers come down with the goods? Look here, Jack, you know, and so does every body else who knows anything, that if ever there is an industrial dispute that ought to lie settled by arbitration, it is a demand for higher wage. The Wilson talk about the number of working hours not being "arbitrable" is bunk. The length of the work day is regularly included in arbitra tion contracts (I have made lots of 'em myself) and "arbitration" has been the union slogan all these years the employers were defiantly saying they had "nothing to arbitrate." In surrendering the nrineinle of arbitration. President Wilson has really done the cause of labor not a favor, but an incalculable injury, and has injured not only tne cause of labor, but also the cause of the general public, because betraying the cause of right and justice. I heard one wag refer to our democratic president recently in tne slang vernacular as tne gink who put 'betray' in 'ar-betray-shun,' " He didn't hit it off bad, did he? I suppose you saw all those quotations of Wil son ian expressions on labor made before his debut into politics? Where he refused point-blank to endorse the eight-hour movement, giving ts his reason that he believed each case should be fully investigated and considered on its merits pre cisely the opposite of his present position; where he denounces labor unions as operating to make their members do as little work for their money aa they can get away with; where he advocated the open shop, wnicn labor unions regard at poison: where he brands organized labor as a class of enemies of freedom. . These volunteered free-from-duress declarations gain significance when compared with his present somersaulted championship of labor's demands and they sup port the conclusion that Wilson either "took the side he most feared" or fell for the temptation of what looked like a bis bunch of deliverable votes. Hardly anything for democrats to brag about, though, is it, Jack? Hurriedly, YOUR FATHER. People and Events ' , , It is possible occasionally to glimpse a little brightness through the smoke of battle. Some how war has shot to pieces the demand for hu man hair formerly a big feature of the export business of Hongkong. Pennsylvania has less beet and eggs in cold storage than a year ago. Reports from seventy one warehouses show a marked decrease in the supplies of these necessaries, and a corresponding increase in pork, veal and mutton. In the last four months the traffic court of New York City imposed 4,875 fines and collected $62,000 for violation of traffic regulations. The average is not very high, but steady pressure on the pocketbooka of reckless drivers generates caution. The Empire State Bureau of Employment is overwhelmed with jobs seeking jobholders. Oh, no, not political jobs real working jobs, such as Stenographers, office help, laborers and household help. The latter approaches a famine, with $6 to $8 and keep a week going begging. Uncle Sam's inheritance tax takes on im posing chestiness as it views the pelf in the es tate of Henry Miller, the late cattle baron of California. The fortune ranges from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000 in value, and your uncle looks for a rake-off of from $4,000,000 to $8,000,000. Andrew Uhr, a western cowboy of 21, hopped off at New York with a defy that he could rope any steer in town. In two hours native steerers roped the kid, relieved him of $150 and put him in shape for hospital treatment. Bragging away from home Is expensive. Mrs. Fannie Pavilansky of Chicago blew $325 in real money for a husband and found the investment a positive loss in less than three months. Chicago's celebrated divorce courts al lowed Fannie to cut loose with the firm caution: Don't blow yourself on bargain counter hus bands. A London lawyer named Upjohn- is awarded the endurance championship for an argument ex tending through forty-five court days.

A member of congress, a new man and therefore, not widely known In Washington, found himself one day In the hands ot a oaroer or. tne pro. verblally talkative sort who was em. nloved In a Washinarton hostelry. "You have a large head, atr," ob served thw barber, as he was trim ming the locks of the statesman. "It la a food thing to have a Inrga head, for a larre head means a la-gu 'train, and a large brain is the most useful thing a men can have, for it nour ishes the roots of the hair." Toutn's ' Companion. , . , Railroad Man's Views. Carroll, la., Oct 24. To the Editor of The Bee: As I cams down the street this morning I saw a big poster In the windows: "1,800,000 More Men Working Under Present Administra tion Than Under Any Other." Work ing for what? Making ammunition to kill 1,600,000 more men over in Europe. When the war stops the pos ters will read, "1,600,000 Out of Em ployment" Soup kitchens will be In vogue again all over the country if Wilson is re-elected. I am a union man and belong to the American Fed eration of Labor?' Gompers Is a nut if he thinks he can threw the labor vote to Wilson. He has got, labor In a hole now that will take a long wfiile to get out of. The Adamson law Is a detriment and a disgrace to organized labor and the trainmen and engine men are beginning to realize It more every day and there will be hundreds of them voting for Hughes November 7, as they want a good, strong, firm man to pull them out of the hole that Wilson and his policies has gotten mem into. B. a lxman. Wilson and the Workers. Omaha. Oct. 28. To the Editor of The Bee: Slightly over seven years ago Woodrow Wilson, then president of Princeton university, said the fol lowing in the oourse of a bacca laureate address: "You know what the usual standard of the employe Is In our day. It Is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor Is standardised by the trades union, and this Is the standard to which It la made to conform. In some trades and handicrafts no one Is suf fered to do more than the least skill ful of his fellows can do within the hours allowed to a day's labor, and no one can work out of hours at all or volunteer anything beyond the mini mum. "I need not point out how economi cally disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It Is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades It will presently not be worth his while to at tempt anything at all. He had better stop altogether than to operate at an Inevitable and Invariable loss. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under its present reg ulation by those who have determined to reduce It to a minimum. Our economio supremacy may be lost be cause the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants." A typical dissertation on "the closed shop" by a college president! Has Mr. Wilson changed his mind since then? If so, why? I should like to suggest that It be made the basis of a democratic edi torial entitled: "Why the Workers 8hould Be for Woodrow." Also, that It be pondered on long and deeply by Sammle Gompers and lesser union officials who are trying to steer union labor into the democratic camp. EDMUND R. BRUMBAUGH. Industries for Omaha. -Omaha, Oct 28. To the Editor of The Bee: As a result of the decisions in a recent popular contest; it might seem that there are fourteen kinds of new industries which would be par ticularly successful in Omaha. Now It Is to ba hoped that no one has gotten the Impression that any other kinds would have less advantage or that these fourteen would have all the ad vantage accredited them, because that would not be true. And of oourse we want only those which can and will prove successful.; , . " The would-be 'Investors "and the manufacturers who are seeking a change of location want . pertinent facts. They want the assurance of specific profits rather than the knowl edge of general opportunity. Their attention may be attracted by the op portunity, but only essential facts will obtain their Interest and favorable de cision, and these facts may be summed up about as follows: The factories which will most readily succeed In Omaha are those which use hides to tan leather for belting and shoes, and those which make shoes; those which use wool to weave cloth, and those which make this cloth Into clothing; those which use wheat and corn for flour and food products; and bakeries which use flour and lard; those which can the fruits and vegetables which we raise; those which make farm implements and general hardware; foundrys to supply castings for these faotorles and for general use; and any other kind of factories which will utilise the local raw materials, or whose finished pro duct is bulky and heavy, and iwhose market is naturally In this locality, These factories will succeed here because of the following Industrial advantages: Building sites are available, with as good or better railroad facilities as are found In the most successful Indus trial localities, and taxes are as rea sonable. Power can be made as cheaply here with steam as in most other industrial localities, and it can be made cheaper with Diesel engines than In those places. Water of good quality can be ob tained here in sufficient quantity and at reasonable cost The labor supply will follow the de mand, because it always has, and It cannot be expected to precede It. The raw materials are all here with the exception of pig' Iron and It Is much cheaper to ship than finished eastings. The consumption and demand are here, and the present supplies come principally from points which aver age 1,600 miles east The raw materials are now shipped east to the factories and the freight is paid, and then the finished products are shipped back here and the freight Is paid again. And, finally, these goods must be sold, In some way, from the distant factory to the local con sumers. Thus, for comparative purposes, we may say that now the selling prices are made us as follows: Plants, In vestment taxes, power, water, raw materials, freight on raw materials, labor, freight from factory to con sumer, selling cost and profit But when these factories are located in Omaha, the freight on the raw ma terials and the freight on the finished products, east of Omaha, and a por tion of the selling costs will be saved, while all the other costs will remain practically the same. Therefore the selling prices of the local factories may be that much less than their eastern competitors; and besides, Omaha's strategic advantage of location assures i her . factories a practical monopoly of all the business for a large territory to the west and northwest. These are definite advantages and they are comparatively greater than can ordinarily be offered to the manu facturer. If they are properly Utilised they will divert a large portion of the business which the "mall order houses" now enjoy In this territory; and Omaha will rapidly Increase in prestige, population and prosperity.
