THE wORTH OF vO1-E

George ]. Barker, for many years
famous in Kansas as a political leader
was nominated for mayor of Lawrence
on the dry ticket the other day after
a hard fight, and the World gives the
credit for his nomination to one young
woman.
'She is Miss Smith, university stu
dent and daughter of DR.. Smith, says
the World, "and she not only wanted TO
see a clean, dry town here, but she de-
termined to do all she could to help get
it. She influenced directly over fifty
votes-more than the majority by
which Barker was nominated.
Most women in such position would
have yearned earnestly for a reign of
decency. but would have taken it all
out in yearning. Miss Smith got busy
She did nothing that any other woman
might not have done. nothing unlady-
like, nothing masculine. She simply
did what she could If she had not done
what she could, Lawrence would be COM

ly wet administration under which
joints would continue to flourish

gotten story in Kansas history to illus
trate the mighty results that may come

LET Us HAVE PEACE.

At this writing there appears to be
great danger that an industrial war
will shortly break out between forty
two western railroads and upwards of
$4,000 Of their employees. 1t is devouuy
to be hoped that this calamity may
be averted, but the indications now
point strongly in the direction of
strike.
A strike at this time would be a Sc
we're blow, not only to all the interests
involved on both sides, but also to the
entire public. A strike always entails
great loss on the strikers and on those
against whom it is directed. For $4,000
men to quit working and to allow their
time and energy to go for naught.
would be a serious matter in itself. In
addition to. that their action would
cause tremendous financial loss to
their respective roads.
But worse than either the result to
the strikers or the railroads, would be
the calamity to the public. The rail-
roads are having difficulty in handling
their business at best. It is almost i'm
possible now for them to serve the
public as the public's interests demand.
and If $4,000 of their men go on a
strike it may almost paralyze the west.
The public is as vitality interested in
this matter as are either the trainmen
or the railroads, yet the public has no
say concerning the matters involved
other than the pressure it can bring to
bear through public opinion That pres
sure, however, can be made of con-
siderable force in the course of time,
and it would not be well for either
party to the controversy to disregard
it.
IL
be considerable difference of opinion
between the two contending parties. 1t
is difficult to see a proposition from
another's viewpoint, especially when
that other is an adversary. Both sides,
however, ought to be actuated by a
spirit of fairness and willing to make
some concessions. AS they have not
been able to agree arbitration ought
to be the next step, but at this time
the prospect for arbitration is not
bright.
The railroad managers are appealing
to arbitration, but the two representa-
tives of the railway. employees are re-
ported adverse to anything but a COM
plete concession on the part of the rail-
roads or else a strike. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that no hasty action along
this line will be taken. Many railway
employees can i'll afford to strike and
cease earning wages. Neither can they
afford to go against public sentiment,
as they care sure to do if they refuse
to submit their cause to arbitration.
The managers of the railways have
already offered considerable concessions.
If these concessions are not sufficient,
let competent arbitration board so de-
clare. If they are sufficient the train
men certainly ought to accept them and
be content.
Let us have Industrial peace.

There seems to be little doubt that
occasionally some fairly good men are

a year job than a job paying one-tenth
