Eight-Hour Law Will Help
Business.
But for purely business reasons,
which may appeal more directly to
many men, the welfare of the
country demands Wilson's re-election.
The liepublicans are raising
a great roar about the eight-hour
law and how it will hamper busi
ness. 1 saw and I speak from exper
ience, not from guess work that
the eight-hour law will help busi
ness. The employers of the country
should be as enthusiastically be
hind Wilson in his advocacy of the'
eight-hour day as the workers, and
they would be if they knew their
business. For employers who are
hostile to the eight-hour day do
not know their business.
We havcliad the eight-hour day
in force in- the Ford factory for
three years, ami we have made
more money each succeeding year
under it. It has proved its own
merit.

Boston, Oct. 12. The commander
of the German submarine L-33 has
the nolitest way of doing a disagree- -j
able thing.
This is reported by Gnstav
steward of the Norwej
Christian Knudsou
en shins. The crew was
with others to Newport by American
destroyers and came here yesterday,
where they are sheltered at the Nor
wegian Sailors' Home.
"At 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning,
we were thirteen miles west oi: Nan
tucket lightship when held up."
" 'Nod, take your time,' said the
submarine captain. 'We are going
away for a while to sink a British
ship (the West Point). Lower your
boats, put everything in them that
vou want to and stand oft out ol
range. We will come bacn anu auu .
we sink your ship we will tow you
to the lightship."
The Knudsen's crew leisurely
packed up everything they could put
in small boats and rowed about a
mile away. There they witnessed the
destruction of their ship.
"We waited for her to come and
tow us," said Aamodt, "but she did
not, so after an hour we started to
row to the lightship We got there
at 6 p m. As we neared the ship, the
submarine came up, and the captain
hailed us again.
" 'Why didn't you wait?' he, said;
'I told you we woukLtow you.
"Captain Grotness said he thought
the submarine Avas too busy.
" 'Oh you need not have been a

all right now. Good night.' "
The crew also witnessed the sink

Joe fells her of how he had served

' fight for her, to live for her, to love
her in the right way, and to reform

And of course everything turns

Copenhagen, Oct. 12. King Otto,
of Bavaria, Europe's mad king, died
suddenly at Fuerstenried Castle last
night, where he has been confined on
account of insanity for several yais.
London, Oct. 12. Scotland Yard
has organized a special staff to round
up bogus "heroes." The King's uni
form has been abused to a greater
extent than has been supposed. The
military authorities saw the danger
some time ago, and made an effort
themselves to deal with it, but the
assistance of Scotland Yard was
found to be desirable, and now a
strict lookout is kept for adventur
ers in military guise. Every day 'the
organization grows more effective,
and nobody can perpetrate : a fraud
of the kind with a feeling of impun

NOTICE.
IJGiAL ISSUE
. DISCUSSION OF MR. HUGHES'
-dANXEU OF CAMPAIGN WORK.
(By George Creel)
Vritten for the Democratic National
Committee.
Woodrow Wilson stands for cour
ge and achievement; Charles E.
lughes stands for evasion and criti
i ism.
No citizen is in doubt as to the
.'resident's position on all the gVeat
,uestions of the day. What he haa
.one is a matter of record; what he
atends to do is set forth in simple,
understandable English. What cit
zens is able to say what Mr. Hughes
vould have done or what he will do?
He quarrels meanly and persistent
ly with evry one of the great laws
chat Woodrow Wilson has driven
through. Currency and tariff legis
iation, income and inheritance taxes,
workmen's compensation, shipping
oill, rural credits, trade commission,
and even the child labor law have
been made the targets of his peev
ishness, but not once has he dared
to say:
"I will repeal them."
He attacks Wilson's Mexican pol
icy, but when -pressed for. his own
attitude, takes refuge in the coy
statement: "I will be firm."
He does not scruple to make poli
tical capital out of the Lusitania's
dead, but will not say what he him
self would have done.
Belgium figures in his speeches,
but he declines to state whether or
not he would have had the United
States protest.
The Navy bill, indorsed by Admiral
Dewey as the "best ever passed'
and the Army bill alike receive his
censure, but no human power is able
to drag a word from him with regard
to what he considers "adequate" '
preparedness.
His lips wer sealed during the days
when the Eight Hour bill was before
Congress. As leader of his party he
sent no word to Republican senators
and representatives asking them to
vote against the measure, though a
filibuster could have depleted it. But
before the ink was dry on the Pres
ident's signature he burst out in
noisy denunciation. Even so, he does
not say: "I will repeal it."
Never was the issue so clear-cut
between courage and cowardice, be
tween honesty and hypocricy, be
tween performance and protestation.
On the one hand stands a President
who has given peace with honor, pre
paredness without militarism and
prosperity with justice. On the oth
er stands a candidate without an is
sue, without a principle, without a
policy.

Friend of Capital and Labor.
I believe the President hit the
nail on the head in a recent speech
when he said :
"The relations of capital and
labor must be regarded as a human
relationship of men with men. La
bor must be regarded as part of
the general partnership of energy
which is going to make for the suc
cess of business men and business
enterpriess." .
When wre get sonieAvhere near
that basis the real causes of hard
times Avill disappear. And I be
lieve that Wilson as President Avill
do more to bring an approach to
those conditions than Hughes.

Wall Street are behind him.

Wilson. Fiu a Republican for the

St. Joseph, Mo., Oct, 12. With
his trial for the murder of his wife

is spending his time campaigning
for re-election. He is being enthu
siastically acclaimed at various po

Chicago, Oct. 12. As a thief Wil
liam Rankin was a failure. So he
went to prison and achieved success.
He was convicted of larceny In Chi
cago in 1913 and sentenced to Joliet
for oen to ten years. At Joliet he
met a mouse. Ordinarily one would
not think of attempting to scale the
Jungfrau of success on a mouse. But
the ascetic life of the cell had trans
formed Rankin the thief into Rankin
the thinker.
He fed the mouse. They became
friends. Other mice came along. He
befriended them. Then he startd to
train them. He taught them to loop
the loop, perform high dives, play
"dead," answer to their individual
names, hunt peanuts and cheese.
Now Rankin has a mouse circus,
said to be one of the oddest "mena
geries" in existence. He wants the
world to see it. He has enlisted the
aid of Dr. F. Emory Lyon, head of
the Central Howard Association of
Chicago, in an effort to gain a pa
role. His case has been presented to
the state parole board.
