Congressman McArthur Dt- dares PresentTradeCondltions A Will Vanish With the War.
COUNTRr"^ MUST PREPARE
To Meet the Commercial Readjust*
meat That Is CsrUin te Fellow
the Otoppage of War
Orders.
"The paramount issue of the present —mpalgn for control of the executive and legislative branches of tbe govern- neat is the question of preparednesi for conditions that are bound to exist in this country after tbe Bnropean war." said Congressman McArthur of Oregon, In a speech on Commercial Preparedness. "There are other im¬ portant issues, but commercial pre¬ paredness is of greatest consequence to the people of tbe country and there¬ fore deserves our most serious con¬ sideration. Since the outbreak of the war in August, 1914, our export trade to the warring nations has grown by leaps and bounds, breaking all rec¬ ords, and bringing to certain sections of our country such prosperity that no less a person than Mr. Charles E. Hughes recently said the American peoplaare living In a fool's paradise.' This statement has been ridiculed by partisan newsnaperg and stump speak¬ ers, but it will, nevertheless, stand the test of tbe most careful analyses. To show the effect that the war has had upon onr prosperity, let us take the export flgures for the year com¬ mencing September 1, 1913--a year of peace—and compare them with the figures for tbe year commencing September 1, 1914—a year of war.
"During the year of peace we sold In breadituffs to Europe $181,484,000 worth. Dnring the year of war we sold fS67.607.000 a gain of 213 per cent.
"During the year of peace we sold to Europe horses to Ihe x»lue of |3,- 177.000. Daring the year of war we sold her horses to the value of $8>,- 276,000 a gain of 2,S90 per cent.
"During the year of peace we sold to Europe mules to tbe value of |622,- 000. During the year of war we sold them mules to the value of $18,041,000, a gain of 2,795 per cent.
"During the year of peace we sold to Europe hay to the value of $790,000. During the year of war we sold to Europe hay to the value of $2,263,- 000, a gain of 233 per cent.
"During the year of peace we»«old to Europe meats and dairy products to the value of $138,736,000. During tjie year of war we Bold them-meats and dairy products to the value of $243,098,000, a gain of 76 per cent,
"During the year of peace we sold ,to Europe sugar to the value of $1,^41 - 000. During the year of war we soli to Europe sugar to the value of $86,816,000, a gain of 748 per cent.
"The flgures which I have Just quoted refer exclusively to exports of the products our farms and ranges, hut tbey are Inslgniflcant as compared With the great sums of money that have been spent here for arms and explosives. During the flscal year ending June 30, 1916, we exported nearly $470,0(10.000 worth of explo¬ sives, $135,000,000 worth of shell steel, and nearly $20,000,000 worth of flre- aiTns. The Un'ted States Cartridge Co., of Lowell, Mas-?., waa a moderate- slsed concern before the war, with a forjce of .100 worker* and a weekly pay im'oii of $2,400. Today the same concern employs 10,000 men and wo¬ men and has a weekly pay roll of $103,000. The American Steel Foun¬ dries Co. Is comp'etlng an $18,000,000 order for 8-inch shells and has booked another order of $20,000,000. The Bethlehem Steel Co. is shipping 1,000.- 000 shells monthly to the Allied armies. Taking 47 classes of articles properly characterized as war muni¬ tions—and clothing and food are as necessary to soMlers as ammunition -a^d guns—these classes comprised more than 60 per cent, of our '|4,333,00O,qO0 worth of exports for the flscal year 1916. This Bt«tement can he verifled bv the June Mnn'bly Sum¬ mary of tbe Department of Commerce. These are but samples of the war orders that have been bringing us an average of $200^000000 worth of trade psr month and which have pnt more than $4,800,000 000 into tbe coffers of our manufacturers since the outbreak of tbe great struggle across the sea. A large percentacre of this amount has been spent for wages and the products of labor and its diffusion through tthe channels of trade and commerce bas brought pre^erity to many parts of the country.
"This prospsrlty, howerer. Is largely sectional, and purely art^.flelal. It is the prOsparit/ of war, not of peace* tt Is a prosperity of bate, misery, suf¬ fering, and death. It has been bathed In the blood of the dying soldier ami In the tears of his widow and his orphan. It la not a permanent, sut»> atantlal prosperity and will vanish like lesvea before th^ autumn biart when the great war shall havo closed."

anawsrahle as Tfcair Most
Chiidlilte effort.
ff election day were passed would President Wilson make so little of ttae principle of arbitration In industrial dlspotes? Wonld he be so sure that It is more important to preserve peace, when a great strike is^threaten^ than it is to make Judicial methods rattaer thaft force tbe means of settling dif¬ ferences between capital and labor?
If election day had come and gone would Mr. Wilson keep tbe national guardsmen of the country In camp on the ground tbat tbey may be needed to protect tbe United States against Mexico? Would tbere be moLchs of inaction and indecision In wbicb no use is mnde of a large body of citisen soldiers? Would tbey not be sUowed to go bome or else be set in motion to make Mexico as safe a neighbor as ttae Administration seems to think ttaat it Is already?
if cle'-tlon day were past would tbe PresMent drive tfarongh Congress a bill like the shipping bill whicb Is in¬ tended (o embark tbe federal govern¬ ment npon a new venture in a hazard¬ ous fleld and use $50,000,000 of the (leople's money to buy tonnage beld above Its normal value or else so owned that It cannot be used without peril of Interuatlonal complications? Is souud public policy behind such a measure or only campaign politics?
If elei-tion day were not to be con¬ sidered would Woodrow Wlison use so mnny high nud mighty words In intern.'itionai notes and d.'i so little to make them mean anything practical? Would his deeds lag so fur behind bis phrases?—Cleveland Leader.

"HE DIDN'T DO RIGHT."
Independent Votera Turning Tbie CoO'-
viction Over and Over in Their
Minde and it Will Cost Mr.
Wllaon Many a Vote.
A Democrat who never voted for a Republican candidate for President ex¬ cept In 1872, when he was forced by tbe lack of a Democratic nominee to cast bis ballot for Horace Qreeley, says: "1 expect to vote for Woodrow Wilson, but I don't like his course in the railroad dispute. He didn't do right."
The railroad controversy has intro¬ duced a moral issue into the campaign. Mr. Wllaon sacriflced principle to ex¬ pediency, or what he Judges to l>e ex¬ pediency, when he tamely surrendered to tbe demands of tbe train-service brotherhoods.
He put his own personal and party need before tb^ public good. He angl¬ ed for votes. He aimed a body blow at tbe tried and tested arbitration method of settling differences.
"God help you; 1 cannot," he is said to have exclaimed to the railroad man¬ agers, who do not poii as many votes as tlieir employees. But he could have heliieii them If he had stood Impartial¬ ly between them aud the utterly reck¬ less traln-serviee representatives who were bent ou their ruje-or-ruin pro- grumiue.
"He didn't do right." The conscious ness of that fact Is sinking deep into the American mind.
"He didnt do right." That wide spread conviction will cost him thou¬ sands of votes on election day.
"He didn't do rigbt." He preferred the weak, the timid attitude of tht^ bom compromiser.
The American people like courage. They like convictions. 1'hey iike a. man wbo has the courage of his con¬ victions. They like a man wbo Is willing to risk consequences for the sake of a Just cause. ^
It was an unjust cause in which Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he ac-. cepted the brotherhood view tbat the chief Item in their demands could not be arbitrated.—Providence Journal.

Wabbling Woodrow. Opportunism has claims that every statesman must respect. 3ut never has tbere been an opportunist in tbe White House of greater willingness to change than tbe present Incuml^ut. The country feared it bad piaced pfjw- er In the bands of a doctrinaire school¬ master Incapable of bending. It flnds Ibat It bas a man of remarkable plas¬ ticity of Judgment, wbo one moment stands for states' rights and the next for natlouaiism. wbo oue day is a pa- dflst, and the next is out-shouting Col. Uoosevelt for arms and ships, whv one week is for a barren neutrality and the next for war in behalf of general righteousness, who one night is for collective wage bargaining and arbi¬ tration of Industrial disputes and the next is wsvlng tbe flag of decreeing wages up or down as tbe votes of tbe larger number can be controlled.— New York Globe and Commercial Ad¬ vertiser.

Always Be Sure of the Number
THERE are two ways to call a telephoi^e ntimber. The wrong way is to call firom memory; to *'take a chance," to trust to luck that your memory doesn't play a trick on you, with the fickle figures in a telephone number.
The right way is to consult the Telephone Directory and make wure you have the right ntimber.
The right way saves annoyance to your¬ self and to the persons 3rou might have called by mstake. It helps build up a higher grade of service for yourself and others.
