This 1m nn emancipation proclamation for tile country. It in real prej-uredneBH. The trade commission ha ended the uncertainties of court decisions and enabled business to know just what are its rights and obligations to the fcovornme'nt. Labor has received its manna char ta in the Clayton bill, which freed labor from prosecutions Tor perfectly legal Hundreds of disputes and strikes nre now settled by the intermedia lion of the Rovornment under the trades disputes acty. Tens of thoiiH' ands of workers have been found jobs by the government labor exchanges. Tho Rovernment-owned Alaska rail road has opened the resources of that country, and In large part saved the coal, copper and other resources to the people. The Hcamnn's act has insured greater safety at sea. It has muled the last remaining fugitive slave a(;t on our statute hooks. Tile shipping embargo on America and the monopoly of the soas, which have closed the ports of Kurope. to products of the farm and tho mill, ex cept on such terms and such charges as Kurope has seen fit to Impose, will be checked by the shipping bill, which will open up the ports of South America and tho Orient to American ships, built nm owned and run by the t government. J The dinner pail is overflowing. Never in the hUlory of the country were so many men nt work and at such high wages as at l ho prcsont time. Hours of labor have also been reduced. The democratic party has not only legislated, for labor; it has created conditions that Insure! cheaper living on the one hand and greater opportunities for labor on the other. Private profit has been takeu out of munitions to a large extent. A government-owned armor" plant has been provided for. as Ip'is a gov ernment-owned nitrate plant. One of the great lobbies for war and prepa rations for war has been driven from congress. I'ecpurcducss lroviIcl. t The nation has been adequately prepared for foreign defense. Finally, President Wilson has kept us from war. He has kept our sons nt. home. War means reaction. It means an end of social legislation. Peace has been achieved in the face of the clamor of races, groups and interests seeking to throw the United Stales into ono or tho other side of the Kuropean conflict. Tt has been achieved without loss of dignity or self-respect. TtallPvhiK as T do, that America confronts a reversal of the things we hold dear hot Ii at home and abroad; believing that tho election of Charles R. Hughes means dollar di plomacy and financial imperialism in our foreign relations and the com plete ascendency of the reactionary influences that controlled the coun try for the past ipiarter of n century and that wore ascendant in the re publican convention, it is my faith that every believer in democracy and the preservation of our traditions and ideals should support President Wil son and complete the freeing of the country, both within and witliou' from the enemies and dangers which menace us.

You can just see how the criss-cross, jack-straw leaves will break up the draught of air and prevent the cigar from drawing evenly. That's the kind of cigar you have to keep lighting up when you smoke it. Now look at a long-leaf filler cigar. You know it will draw evenly if the cigar is hand-made. When the leaves are laid together as they are in the OWL, you get a full, even draught of air with every puff. Long-leaf filler is one requisite of a good cigar, whether it costs 5 cents or 25 cents.
