There is always anxiety in a presi-
Dental year about the Labor vote"
but experience has usually demon
strated that the laboring man votes
about as other men do. He has his
preferences and his vote expresses
them. No political party has, or can
have, a monopoly of this vote. In
1892, however, labor is supposed to
have had something to do with the
election of Mr.. Cleveland to the presi-
dency. The Homestead strikes Of that
organized labor leaned toward the
year inf1amed public sentiment, and
ceptance Mr.. Cleveland referred to
the scenes of violence Sin the very
abiding place Of high protection" and
suggested to labor that it was not re-
ceiving it's fair share Of the advan-
tages which the protective system was
supposed to give.
But there is no such situation this
year. The clearinghouse strike is not
political in any Of it's phases. Should
it become so, it would probably in
| volve the trust question rather thar
the tariff, and so far as the trusts are
| concerned the Roosevelt administra-
ton has an impregnable position.

w. T. Davis started his newspaper
career twenty years ago on the Leav-
enworth Times. Subsequently he
was manager Of the Springfield (Mo)
Republican, from which position he
became manager of the Tedford Ad-
vertising Agency in Kansas City. In
1894 he became a member of the
Kansas City Stars local advertising
department, and in 1886 was appoint
ed western representative of that pa
per- with headquarters in Chicago,
Co. in 1908. While a member of the
Stars force he made a wide acquaint-
ance, which admirably fitted him to
fulfil his present functions of "adver-
Using attorney" which means the CIV
ing of advertising advice in the same
broad way as giving legal advice, and
saving client loss and >trouble in his
publicity work. Mr.. Davis is a gen.
eral advertising solicitor and a good
one. He plans campaigns for GUS
toners, selects mediums and suggests
the best way to do the best thing. He
is a well-seasoned, clear-thinking ad-
vertising man, and with it all keeps
his work on the high plane of gen.
| tleman.
Speaking of the value of evening
papers, Mr.. Davis says: Evening
| papers are read by the masses and
| usually have the widest calculations.
They are usually more progressive
| than morning papers, because opposi-
| ton in the evening field does not OBJ
tain in the morning field. Evening
papers reach the people who want to
! know what and where to buy.
should say the evening papers are at

The President and the Strike.

The hint from Chicago that it is
the intention of the president to inter-
vene in the stockyards strike, should
be taken with many grains of salt.
. With every labor strike between now
and the end Of the campaign, such a
story will probably be started. These
reports, when not intended to embar-
rass the president, are echoes of the
anthracite arbitration. The admins
tration does not intend to become in
volved In industrial disputes.
The coal strike situation was unique.
And even in that, it is we'll known that
the presidents views underwent rad
+ zeal change as his study Of it proceed
ed. When he read his address to the
operators and labor leaders in Wash
ington, it was found to be merely an
appeal to them, in the name of the
public, to reach an agreement. There
is not one word in what the president
said that suggested that he had any
legal right to interfere, and If his APP
peal had fallen on deaf ears he would
have been in an exceedingly uncom-
Portable position.
