Wm. J. Burns for the State Legislature. o Milford is a good town to live in; if you believe it, tell strangers about it. o There -is' a good investment awaiting the man who builds small houses for rent in Milford. o Have you registered? Only two days in which you can attend to this, October 31st and November 1st. o Cannot Milford afford to arrange for the tie-ing tie-ing up and watering of the teams of her out-of-town shoppers? o What's the use of advertising your town if you ' cannot furnish living accommodations for the people peo-ple after they arrive? The News is besought, al- most daily, by strangers desiring rooms or houses. o Those who enjoy a learned discourse by a learned learn-ed man, delivered in such a way that it grips and holds the attention from start to finish, and, at the same time, is neither prosy, nor devoid of humor, would do well to attend the Nels Darling lecture at the high school, Monday evening, next. o On the 22nd, a special train bearing about thirty prominent eastern ladies will pass through Milford, probably stopping here for a brief period. These ladies are touring the" country in the interest of Charles E. . Hughes and know why they are supporting sup-porting this candidate. Arrtftigements should be made by local supporters of Mr. Hughes, to accord these ladies a coureous and cordial reception. A LESSON TO PARENTS. The happening this week, in a local Japanese restaurant, in which a young girl was involved, should be taken as a lesson by parents who may not keep as close a supervision over the movements of their daughters, especially as to the surroundings of their employment, as they should. Pitfalls are plentiful enough, without, even through thoughtlessness, thought-lessness, adding to them. o LET'S ELECT WM. J. BURNS. Milford owes a debt of gratitude to Wm. J. Burns for his constant and effective efforts in behalf be-half of education in this vicinity and in behalf of all that goes to make up good citizenship. The time has come when a payment can be made on this debt. In November residents of Milford and of the county will be called upon to select a representative rep-resentative in the State legislature. Milford can furnish that man if her citizens will stand solidly, regaiclless of political lines, for Wm. J. Burns. Partisanship Par-tisanship along state and national lines should not be allowed to interfere with community and county interests. Milford will be honored, not only in having hav-ing a representative in the legislature, but in having hav-ing Wm. J. Burns as that representative. Let's elect him. ' o WILSON OPPOSED EIGHT-HOUR DAY. In September, 1905, Woodrow Wilson, while President of Princeton University, was requested by Professor Frank Parsons of the Bureau of Economic Econo-mic Research, to join with others in signing this declaration: "We" favor the eight-hour "day!" Believing Be-lieving that the eight-hour day means a longer and richer life, a fairer diffusion of wealth and power, a better citizens-hip and a-higher civilization through leisure for education, recreation, civic and social life, we welcome each step in the progress of the eight-hour movement and earnestly hope for the sue-.' ;s of the typographical unions' in their efforts to secure the eight-hour day.' Mr. Wilson refused to sign, saving: "IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NOTHING OF THIS SORT CAN BE DECIDED THUS, IN THE ABSTRACT AND THAT NO VALUABLE CONCLUSION CAN BE REACHED EXCEPT BY A DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC CASES." What has happened in the experience of President Presi-dent Wilson that has so radically changed his attitude at-titude toward the laboring man? WILSON AS LABOR'S DEAR FRIEND. President Wilson is posing as the friend and benefactor of Labor. He is counting on Labor's vote as compensation for his "disinterested" efforts in behalf of the laboring man, as exemplified in his recent "gold-brick" gift of the Adamson bill. Mr. Wilson would like to still further befog the mind of Labor and will, doubtless, endeavor to do so, but before the intelligent laboring men of the country decide that Mr. Wilson is really and truly their friend, would it not be a good idea for them to have an explanation of Mr. Wilson's present attitude toward to-ward labor, as against his opinion of labor in 1907, when, at a dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, on March 18th, he is quoted and on record as having used these words, in a speech delivered by I himself : "WE SPEAK TOO EXCLUSIVELY OF THE CAPITALISTIC CLASS. THERE IS ANOTHER AS FORMIDABLE AN ENEMY TO EQUALITY AND FREEDOM OF OPPORTUNITY AS IT IS, AND THAT IS THE CLASS FORMED BY THE LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS OF THE COUNTRY. And again, m a baccaulaureate sermon, preached by Professor Wilson in June, 1909, he is again quoted as follows: "YOU KNOW WHAT THE USUAL STANDARD OF THE EMPLOYEE IS IN OUR DAY. IT IS TO GIVE AS LITTLE AS HE MAY FOR HIS WAGES. LABOR IS STANDARDIZED BY THE TRADE UNION, AND THIS IS THE STANDARD TO WHICH IT IS MEANT TO CONFORM. NO ONE IS SUFFERED TO DO MORE THAN THE AVERAGE AV-ERAGE WORKMAN CAN DO. IN SOME TRADES AND HANDICRAFTS NO ONE IS SUFFERED TO DO MORE THAN THE LEAST SKILFUL OF HIS FELLOWS CAN DO WITHIN THE HOURS ALLOTTED TO A DAY'S LABOR, AND NO ONE CAN WORK OUT OF HOURS AT ALL OR VOLUNTEER ANYTHING BEYOND THE MINIMUM. "I NEED NOT POINT OUT HOW ECONOMICALLY ECONOM-ICALLY DISASTROUS SUCH A REGULATION OF LABOR IS. THE LABOR OF AMERICA IS RAPIDLY BECOMING UNPROFITABLE UNDER UN-DER ITS PRESENT REGULATION BY THOSE WHO HAVE DETERMINED TO REDUCE IT TO A MINIMUM. OUR ECONOMIC SUPREMACY MAY BE LOST, BECAUSE THE COUNTRY GROWS MORE AND MORE FULL OF UNPROFITABLE UNPROF-ITABLE SERVANTS." On February 25, 1905, at the People's Forum, in New Rochelle, N. Y., Mr. Wilson said: "LABOR UNIONS REWARD THE SHIFTLESS AND INCOMPETENT IN-COMPETENT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ABLE AND INDUSTRIOUS. At the same meeting he f ui'tlicr Sciicl "THE OBJECTIONS I HAVE TO LABOR UNIONS IS THAT THEY DRAG THE HIGHEST MAN TO THE LEVEL OF THE LOWEST. I MUST DEMUR WITH THE LABOR UNIONS WHEN THEY SAY 'YOU MUST AWARD THE DULL THE SAME AS YOU AWARD THOSE WITH SPECIAL GIFTS.' " On January 12, 1909, in reply to an invitation for a public address on labor questions, he said: "I AM A FIERCE PARTISAN OF THE OPEN SHOP AND OF EVERYTHING THAT MAKES FOR INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, AND I SHOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR ME TO CONTRIBUTE CON-TRIBUTE TO THE CLARIFICATION OF THINKING THINK-ING AND THE FORMATION OF RIGHT PURPOSES PUR-POSES IN MATTERS OF THIS KIND." These utterances by Mr. Wilson are supposedly his own. They are of record in the newspaper of the time as being authentic and the American people believe them to be the expression of Mr. Wilson's opinion as to organized labor at that time. Why the' change in the campaign of 1916? Perhaps Mr. Wilson could give a satisfactory explanation of his change of heart. At any rate, will the intelligent laboring man accept ac-cept Mr. Wilson's present enthuiastic espousal of the cause of labor as genuine, without assuring himself that the reversal of opinion is not influenced by a desire for the workingman's vote?
