At a banquet of notables, an aspir
ing young attorney spied an influen
tial judge at the head of the table
and slipped a half-dollar into a wait
er's hand, whispering:
"Put mo next to JudKe Spink."
However, he found himself seated
many politicians below. He called
the waiter to explain. .
"Fact is," said the individual, "the
judge gave me a dollar to seat you
'way down here."
A squad of recruits were getting
rid of some ammunition on the range

charge began to use strong language
as the firing proceeded and the tar

"What! Missed again?" he roared,
as an unfortunate recruit cut up the
dtiRt for the seventh consecutive time
"I don't believe you could hit a fur
niture van."
"Oh, you needn't crow sergeant,'
retorted the recruit, you missed a
train yesterday."

DOWN WITH DANIELS!
PKES1DEXT WILSON y great mistake has been in
L'inrtinff .Tncnialnia TV. 11 inla oa ort.-n-ir r1r iintnr
This miserable. miscreant has just completed the battleship
Arizona for tone million dollars less thairthe shipbuilding
trust offerod to build it, thereby beating the estimable gen
tleman of the shipbuilding trust out of $1,000,000 of honest
graft, thus making a lot of enemies for the president.
Before that the despicable Daniels . went to making
powder and shells in the government plants and actually
made such for 40 to GO per cent less than the government
could buy the same from the powder trust and shell-mak
ers, and the gentlemen of this industry have beeoriie indig
nant at Mr. Wilson at the loss of much of their honest
graft. .
Admiral Dewey says we now have the best navy we
ever bad, due largely to Daniels. This is against all rea
son. A navy should never be good, heeause that is on tne
road to efficiency and finality, and the hastening of that
day would in ordinary times cut off vast millions in graft
for the steel trust and armor platq makers, but since this
country bumpkin Daniels is building the ships in govern
ment yards the noble citizens in those industries feel they
are getting the double cross in the thirty-third degree, and
are seriously vexed at Mr. Wilson s association with the
hard-hearted Danels.
Daniels got congress to appropriate money to build a
government armor plant, and a commission is actually
selecting a site for it, in spite of the fact that the steel com
panies spent a million in advertisements in the newspapers
to educate the people, ,and begged on their knees for per
mission to make armor plate ror this country as cheap as
they did tor Kussia, instead or twice as much. But nobody
read their ads, and everybody (excepting Mr. Hughes, of
course) snickered at their prayers, and consequently the
Messrs. bteel and Armor are deeply wounded and vow
eternal vengeance 011 Mr. Wilson.
Worst of all, this upstart Daniels kicked the booze out
of the navy, and this made all gentleman drunkards
peeved at our president, and they swear they wouldn't
drink with him or Daniels, even if invited by both of them
at the same time.
The most criminal act of this landlubber Daniels was
changing the steering words used in the navy from "star
board to "right when you wanted to go to the right, and
from "larboard" to "left" when you wanted to go to the
left. The navy had been saying starboard and larboard for
a hundred years. Ihey sounded much the same and orten
caused mistakes to be made, while right and lett are so un
like in sound that mistakes would be lessened, but what
right bad a newspaper man to correct the deficiencies of
our naval oti icers, and then on top ot that cut ott all oppor
tunity to get "three sheets in the wind."
Larboard and starboard sound romantic. We have long
been used to them in our sea stories from Cooper to Jack
London. In the name honored and idiotic precedent we
demand the removal ot Daniels. .
If the president was anything but a schoolteacher he
would change the secretary of navy every year, as Theo
dore Itoosevelt did. Mr. Koosevelt began with Lone .111
1901, then Moody in 1902, "Morton in 1904, Bonaparte 1905,
Metcalf in 1907 and ended with Newberry in 1908.. This
system was a success in establishing the finest naval bone
yard in the world, without hurting the feelings of . any pf
the gentlemen connected with the steel, powder or armor
plate trusts.
Mr. Itoosevelt retained the inendship ot all of them.
True, he used to "cuss 'em" a little, but this is permissible
among friends as long as business relations are not broken
or severed. We again call upon the president to remove
Daniels. "Raus mit im."
True Progressive Leadership
tesslons, such leadership ss this must
ppeal more powerfully to its Intelli
gent elements than that of the noisy
(From theiNew York World.)
Henry Ford, who makes public an
nouncement that he Intends to vote
for Mr. Wilson, Is more than a polit
ical progressive. Like Thomas A. Ed
ison, who has expressed the same
preference, he is Industrially, com
mercially and Boclally a progressive.
Such men, always forward looking
In their business affairs, always hos
pitable to new Ideas, always open
minded and self-reliant, naturally ab
hor reaction and turn with contempt
from stand pat policies of government
based largely upon favor and greed.
The wonderful successes that they
have achieved have been due to their
own ability and courage. While
other men have been hanging around
congress begging for laws In their
own Interest, professedly as friends
of labor, Ford and Edison have blazed
new paths, hit upon new devices,
and by the force of their genlUB es
tablished vast Industries which make
many of the law-pampered enter
prises appear feeble by comparison.
In their cases progress has not been
altogether materialistic. Both Ford
and Edison have carried generous
sentiments Into all of their activities.
There never was a tariff or a sub
sidy of any kind that conferred such
benefits upon worklngmen as have
been derived from the just -mid even
benevolent practices ot these great
captains of Industry and invention,
They will vote for Mr. Wilson because
they are honest Intellectually as well
as commercially.

THE NEW YORK TRACTION STRIKE
ON STRATHTAG SAVED
WASI1IXGTOX, Sept. 20. Consul
General Skinner at London cabled the
state department today that two
Ameriiiiin sailors, William Wootton of
Harrison, T. J., and Hernard Sweeney
of P.ayomie, X. ,1., were saved from
the iiritb.li steamer Slrallitay, tor
pedoed ly a submarine September C
in llie Kniilisii channel.
Whether (lie Strathtuy was attack
ed without warning was not stated.
Definite information on this point will
lie sought before an inquiry is ad
dressed to (iennany. It is assumed
by ntfieials that affidavits were
taken from the Atueiican seamen to
be forwarded to the slale department.
The Strathtay sailed Aie.nst 22
from N'cu York for Havre, and earlier
reports of her sinking said the entire
erew was saved.
i ELL-A MS
Absolutely Removes
Indigestion. Onepackage
proves it 25c at all druggists.
Till' principle of arbitration for labor disputes was a
sacred thing when the railroad employes threatened
a strike, according to the plutocratic press and Candidate
Hughes, and the president and congress have been merci
lessly castigated for passing an eight-hour law to avert the
industrial demoralization ot a general railroad strike. ,
When the employes refused to arbitrate, it became a
crime. It is no sin, however, wlien the employers refuse to
arbitrate as they do nine-tenths of the time.
In New York City there is a traction strike. The em
ployes offer to arbitrate, but the Interborough, through its
president, Theodore Shouts, flatly refuses the public ser
vice commission's. arbitration proposal. We do not hear
Mr. Hughes censuring the New York railroads for refusing
arbitration, as he has the trainmen.
The liiterljorough made an agreement with employes
and then flagrantly broke faith by forcing "master and
servant" contracts upon its employes. As a result, a
sympathetic strike impends. IIow would Mr. Hughes
avert it?
' When Mr. Hughes was governor he forced the passage
of the ublie, utilities act, which stripped New York City
of all authority over the traction companies and vested
tliat autnority in tne state but gave tne public service
commission no power to deal with a situation such as ex
ists. Only the legislature has power, and to call the repub
lican legislature in session to enact emergency legislation
dealing with the strike would be following the president's
precedent and repudiate Mr. J lushes criticism.
New York City is helpless. It pays the bills of the
traction companies and furnishes their profits. It is a
partner without power, thanks to the Hughes public ser
vice bill. It can do nothing but suffer and pungle up. Wall
street has its way as it would have had it in the nation were
it not tor the president s courageous stand.
The New York Citv situation can only be remedied by
some such legislative program as the president recom
mended to congress. Eventually such a program will have
to Ik; enacted, for the people will 'not forever be ground
helplessly between the millstones of capital and labor but
at present nothing can be done but take the medicine
Hughes prescribed when governor.
