(United Press) Because Mr. Hughes and Mr. Roose velt put their faith in hypocrisy, is that any reason why the American people should become hypocrites ? The whole country trembled while the sha dow of a railroad strike rested on the land. It meant loss to all and ruin to many. Also a vast suffering beyond es timation. That the strike should be averted was an universal prayer. Not a sugestion camo from Mr. Hughes or Mr. Roosevelt. They hid iti storm cellars. No business man or politician came forward with a big idea the whole thing was put up to Woodrow Wilson just as very other problem has been put to him. And as in every other case, ho delivered the goods. The crisis over, however, up popped 'tho Candidate and the Colonel. Great 'wagging of heads and wringing of hands! The sacred principle of arbi tration bad been abandoned! Presi dent Wilson had yielded to the black mail of the unions. Business of moan ing! It so happens that all this hypocrisy is .not unmixed with falsehood. The brotherhoods made no demand for the passage of an eight hour law. The principle of arbitration was not aband oned. Before requesting tho opinion stated flatly that he stood for the eight hour day, and that he did not regard the principle as abitrable. Time and a half for overtime, asked by the unions, and increased rates, asked by the railroads wore arbitrable. The Adamson law is nothing more than a nine months' test upon which arbritration can be based. At the end of the test the whole matter goes back to Congress for final action. The brotherhoods agreed to this as fair and called off the strike. Franklin Underwood, president of the Erie, has given out a statement ' voluntarily praising President Wilson for his course. Only Mr. Hughes remains bit ter and unconvinced. Only the mean and stupid refuse to see the courage and wisdom of the action that saved tho nation from disaster even while paving -the way for legislation that will end the menace of indstrial war.

(It Burns Even the Smoke) BY GEORGE G. HILL (Written For The Republican National Committee) i New York, Oct. 16. ( United Press) No policy of tho Wilson administra tion better illustrates its inefficiency and its indifference to the comfort and welfare of the peoplo than that which it has pursued with regard to the Na tional Guard. ' No patriotic American can object to the President's calling upon the Na tional Guard to aid the regular army in protecting the territory of the Uni ted States when an emergency makes that course necessary. Many people are convinced that had Mr. Wilson faced the facts regarding Mexico, in stead of sneering at thoso who advo cated preparedness, in his message to Congress of December 1914, he would have appreciated the necessity of in creasing tho regular army and thus have avoided the necessity of calling upon the militia this sumor, but that is another proposition. When called upon tho National Guard responded loyally and cheerful ly and hastened to the border as rap idly as conditions would permit. After a time General Order No. 20 was is sue!. This provided that the heads of families and those having others de pendent upon them should be relieved. The order was proclaimed to the pub lic and many wives, dependent moth ers and others hailed it with delight, But there appears to have been an other order, privately issued, which ef fect nullified Order N. 20, for many men whose loved ones wero actually in want, or were being supported by the patriotic donations of the communities in which they lived, sought to obtain their discharge under Order No. 20 and were met with the information from their officers that they were for bidden to make such application. There appears to be no good reason for keeping the gunrdsmen of the bor der all this time. A redistribution of the command of General Pershing along the border, the assembling of a greater force of regulars, etc., and sterner, more cmphntic methods of dealing with Carranza would doubt less have made possible the release of ai least all those who have wives or others dependent upon them for sup port, if only administration regarded that end of sufficient importance to warrant its attention.

Uncle Sam's forest products laboratory hai been working to find r. solution for the high price of print paper and thinks the solution is, in part, in the use of Western wood chips for East ern mills. Methods hava been devised by which Western wood, good for pulp, can be cut into chips and baled for easy handling and the only ques tion is now that of frcint rates. Tho Wisconsin mills are negotiating for some trainload shipments of these chips and if the freight rates can be made reasonable several trainloaJs will be u sed. It is piobabln that rates can be secured .i;,fiiuently low to meet the competitive Canadian wood pulp.

In time, Arbitration should supplant war in deciding differences between great nations. Acceptance of the principle of Arbitration will render great industrial strikes impossible and even minor differences will come to be settled by this means. Impartial judges can be counted upon to render fair decisions. , To impartial judges of roofing, we will always be willing to leave decision as to the comparative merits of roofings, confident that intelligent investigation will result in a decision for Certain-teed oaaannHHHDnBBBBHasBQ Roofing An investigation into methods of manufacturing: would show that only the best quality of roofing felts is used in CERTAIN-TEED roofing. This is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts the formula of the General's Board of Expert Chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which forms an impervious coating and prevents the inner saturation from drying out. This explains why CERTAIN-TEED outlives ordinary roofing, and why it is possible to guarantee it for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1, 2 or 3). The responsibility of the world's largest manufacturer of roofings and building papers is behind this guarantee; which is conservative, as experience proves that CERTAIN-TEED outlives the period of guarantee. The General makes one third of America's supply of asphalt roll roofing. His facilities are unequalcd, and he is able to produce the highest quality roofing at the lowest manufacturing cost. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in a slate-surhccd shingles. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind cf building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to ihe smallest residence or out building. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dca!en s!l over the world, at reasonable prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of roof.
