DRESS UP, PAY UP
A good front is a fine asset for any
man, whether in business or out of It.
If .you see a man "who is neat in has
? personal appearance, he will not be
careless or shifty in his business re
" lations. And if you see a well dressed
eiore window it is an indication that
you will find a well-ordered estab
lishment within. You can .judge .-the
occupants of private preniises in the
?v same way. A well-kept front yard
; is a sure sign of a neat household.
Dress up week, which is to be Inau
gurated in Wheeling today does not
apply to adorning oneself In fine rai
ment and parading for the admiration
of the multitude. It was conceived
to make the town look brighter and
better. In other words it Is an ap
peal for an exemplification of civic
pride. A maD who Is not proud of his
home town, is one who, generally,
does not take pride in anything. It Is
not only expected of the merchants to
dress up their stores, hut property
owners to dress up their premises. A
slovenly town never attracts new
settlers. But a clean, bright commu
nity Is a delight to all strangers. If
there Is any sort of the co-operation
there should be Wheeling ought to
"V -present a more attractive appearance
in the next week. Let everybody get
busy and make the old town shine.
It will pay.
?The pay up feature of the week if
observed with any degree of unanim
. ity will also have a cheering efrect on
the debtor as well as the creditor.
The debtor will have eased his mind
of an obligation, and the creditor will
r feel easier In mind. If you are slow
pay It is calculated to make your mer
chant slow pay. So a paying up all
around will, make the wheels of bus
iness go faster. Iri this matter what
helps one starts a progression that
will be beneficial to the whole com
munity.
WHY SHE IS FOE HUGHES
President Wilson designated those
? who came to h'm with eye-witnese
stories of the unspeakable outrages
committed in Mexico as liars. He
gave credence to those interested in
these crimes, and on such testimony
based his policy of indifference to
the fate of American citizens in that
country. Hia cold and unsympathet
ic decree was "if you don't want these
things to happen to you get out Your
government caanot be expected to
protect you, because you are making
j your living in t foreign country in
stead of at home.-" Xo one has given
a more succinct testimony of the
. . wrongs and outrages perpetrated in
./Mexico through the spineless course
of the President than the wife of Nel
son O'Shaughnessy, former charge d'
affaires at Mexico City after the re-,
call of the American Ambassador. She
saw the things she speaks of, the
unutterable crimes permitted through
"watchful wai'ing." in a recent speech
telling why she was for Hughes, Mrs.
O'Shaughnessy said:
"I am for Hughes because with my
own eyes 1 have seen the destruction of ]
| a nation; with my own ears I have heard j
the cries of the bleeding. agonized rem- ?
nants of what three years ago was the I
I Mexican people.
"I am for Hughes because I have seen
? under the direction of Democratic ad
ministration ? organized government de- '
stroyed in a sovereign stat<\ whose ?
I greatest misfortune at this time is to I
j be our neighbor.
I "I have sen the House of God pro
faned. tho ministers of Christ cast into
ignominy, holy women deiiled: <ind l.ast
I but not least I have seen otir citizens.
I whose right- to protection there is as
1 indisputable as that of the sons of Eng
| land. Germany, France. Spain. Japan,
j despoiled pf the fruits of honest labor,
our women outraged, our children tor
tured, our men lying in their blood.
"I am for Hughes because I believe
a man has arisen who, as our chief mag
istrate, will safeguard our most preci
ous possession on land and sea at home
and abroad ? our national honor."

shine In his management of the "dirty j
work" bureau of the Democratic Na- 1
tlonal Committee.
FICTITIOUS PROSPERITY
One of the fiercest fictions put up
by the Democrats in their campaign
| of deception and deceit is the claim
] that the prosperous times which suc
ceeded the depression at the begin
ning of the Wilson administration
were due to Democratic policies. Wo
find this brazenly Insisted upon by
specious speakers and a conscience
less press. It is done through a jug
gling of figures and a plain misrepre
sentation of the character of exports,
an arbitrary exclusion of certain
goods as much needed in the conduct
of the war as the definite munitions
of shot, shell and powder. A true
analysis, however, of the statistics
furnished by the Department of Com
merce always discloses the trutn o?
the Republican contentions of the war
promotion of whatever prosperity we
are enjoying. Now the Census Bureau
adds its figures to corrorborate the
Republican statements.
The census figures relate to the iroa
an steel industry and deal with the
number of blast furnaces, the capi
tal invested in the same, and the gen
eral condition in 1914 as compared
with 190& They show, for instance,
that the "number of blast furnaces de
creased. 22.1 per cent, or from 208 to
162; that the capital invested da
creased by 5.2 per cent, or from $437.
5S 1,000 tc $462,825,000; that the to
tal paid out for salaries and wages
decreased by 7.2 per cent, or from
$31,132,000 to $28,895,00? ; that the ma
terials used decreased in value by 17.5
per cent or from $320,63S,00o to $26T,
580,000, and the value of products by
18.S per cent, or from $391,429,000 to
$317,654,000.
When peace comes and removes the
artificial protective tariff which war
raised, then will come the relapse into
the same conditions exposed by the
census figures quotr-d. Tho Demo
cratic free trade measure precipitated
the stagnation in the iron and steel
industry. The war revived it. if we
are to escape a repetition of the dole
ful dare before the outbreak of the
European conflict It can only be ac
complished by the re-estabLishment of
the Republican protective tariff. That
most coma through . the election of
Charles Evans Hughes and a Repub
lican majority of the Senate and
House of Representatives.
The Democratic party deceived the
people last campaign. It isn't possible
that they can put th? same stuff over
this year.
HARD HIT BY FREE TRADE
No Interest was hit so hard by tbo
Underwood bill as the agricultural,
except In the South where peanuts
were protected, while the northern
potato was put on the free list.. West
Virginia was penalized for breaking
away from the Solid South, as the
farmers of this Stato well know. The
Democratic tariff has also deprived
the fruit growers of the Eastern pan
handle, one of tie greatest fruit
belts In the country, of profits they
could have realized under a Repub
lican protective tariff. The Under
wood measure removed the import
duty on canned fruit. Including to
matoes. Now It has long been the
dream of the fruit growers of that
section of the State to embark In the
canning business, so that when the
crop Is greater than the demand, the
surplus can be quickly and profitably
worked up Into a winter pack. But
as the Democratic tariff regulates
this business Italy, paying 11 cents
a day for labor in the island of Sicily,
can put up the finest of tomatoes in
enameled cans and undersell the most
progressive American canner with his
goods packcd only under a paper la
bel. Consular reports from Palermo,
Caltanisetta, Catania, in Sicily can be
obtained to prove this statement.
Moreover, the American laws do not
permit the canner in this country
to use any of the pulp of the toma
toes to be used in the by-product man
ufacture of soup-pulp or sauce, or in
ketchup, while to complete the stupid
blunder the Underwood tariff permits
the Italians to save their skins and
plup, make It into a paste and send
it into this country where tons of It
is now used In the Italian tenement
district of New York City alone. Some
of these days the farmers of this
State will find out that when they go
into the canning business, as they
will, they -will be confronted by this
law? If it is not repeated by a Repub
lican administration.
? On the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
where forty per cent of the tomatoes
canned in this country are packed an
nually, farmers received, during the
Taft administration and under the
old ReiTublican tariff law, $12 a ton
for the tomatoes delivered at the
canneries. Under the Underwood tar
iff law, before the European war was
thought of, the price dropped to $6
and ^6 a ton, and (ana ere refused to
plant them; as they could not be
grown to compete with the foreign
goods brought In free.
The "melancholy days, brown and
.sinr" are yet to comc. but let's be happy
while these flna October days last.
WHAT WE AEE IN FOR
Two of the most, serious results of
President Wilson's shifty policy in
.Mexican affairs >as the ?wholesale
murder of Americans and other for
eigners -with the exception of citizens
of France. England and Germany.
These were countries to be feared,
because of their firmness in protect
ing the lives and property of their cit
izens abroad. It is true one English
man was murdered, but t bat was bo
cause he was mistaken for an Ameri
can. The consequences of recogniz
ing Carranza are that we stand for
sponsor for him. In his confiscatory
policy the de facto President of Mex
ico has gone the limit, as would be
expected of any bandit. President Wil
son has done nothing to check thU
confiscation, and the penalty for pal
tering and weakness will soon be ob
vious.
The humiliation wo shall Buffer is
to be seen in the preparations France
and Germany are making to inform
this country that anarchy in Mexico
must stop, or they will employ forcl

Kentucky Lady.
! Narrows. Ky? Mrs. C. F. Askins,
i of this place, writes: "About 15
! years ago I had got Into a run-down
' state, my back ached all the time,
felt weak, my bones seemed to ache
all over. I had weighed only 104 lbs.
when I married, and never had been
right robust since I reached woman
hood .... but after my marriage I
' seemed to get worse all the time for
two years . . . until at this time my
brother's wife . . . adviesd me to take
CarduL Therefore, I began taking it,
and in a short while I began to im
I prove, my health and strength began
J to be built up, and also my flesh. . .
! After my flrst child's birth, over
two years had. passed by, but the . .
didn't appear. My husband got me
some medicine from our doctor,
which did me no good, tho he intend
ed it to bring tho . . . about, for he
said the blood was going to my head
and causing it to ache, which also
helped to make mo so dizzy. ... So
; I turned to my old friend Cardui and
| began taking it, and . . . soon I was
! perfectly well and strong, gradually
gained flesh until I weighed about
195 lbs., and was so stout and strong

bio measures, lo other words Inter
vene. They will charge the United
States with responsibility because of
President Wilson's course in driving
out Huerta, who they had recognized,
and recognizing Carranza.
If these countries act as they are
reported to be preparing to do, the'x
Intervention would, of course, be a
violation of the Monroe doctrine, but
It is admitted at Washington that the
Administration has1 no plan by which
to forestall such violation. Tho
Temps, of Paris, official organ of the
French government, asserts that Car
ranza arbitrarily annuls legal con
tracts an<l that anarchy exists, an an
archy for which the "United States Js
entirely responsible, while the Aitan
1 tic City Conference Is perfectly "fu
tile." It declares that "France still
refuses, to admit that its demands
will remain without result, but if that
should be the case she will take such
action as the situation requires" ? in
other words, send an armed force into
Mexico.
The French and British Ambassa
dors have renewed their protests to
the Wilson administration in terms
far more peremptory than heretofore
and the British Charge has clearly in- 1
timated that unless President Wilson
compels Carranza to conduct himself i
properly, England will take whatever
steps may be necessary to force him
to. It is a nice prospect, isn't It?

CUT THE KNOCKING OUT
"Comparisons >re odious,"
A saying trite and true.
As one and a 1,1 will testify
Who've decades lived a few.
So never laud good fellow John,
As blatant gush you throw.
If In tho line of your discourse
You also knock poor Joe.
Though John is very popular,
And Joe was never so,
Just say tho best you can of John
And never mention Joe.
For what's the use of pounding him?
Perhaps he'll mend his way.
Deserving just as much respect
As John did any day.
So go and boost your favorite,
His virtues loud proclaim;
And leave the other ohap alone ?
He'll get his just th<- same.
^Comparisons art- odious,"
As 1 before did shout:
So say tho best you can of all
And cut the knocking out.
