WOLFE SOLE ISSUE
IN THIRTY EIGHTH
Little Senator's Personality and
Loudly Mouthed Record
Outrank Other Questions

While the interest in the fight which
Eddie" Wolfe is making in behalf OF
another nomination for state senator
centers in the thirty seventh district,
whittier the little senator moved when
he realized that it would control the
nomination by reason Of its larger Vot-
ing population, the fight in the thirty
eighth does not lack spectacular in
terest
The thirtv-eighth was the most close
" contested district in the May pri-
mary and when the returns were tabu-
lated it was found that the Lincoln
Roosevelt league had captured five of
the delegates, while the machine elect
ed two, Sammy Beckett and DR.. Henry
Abrahm.
Since then the league has been much
more strongly organized in the dis
trict and under the leadership of Byron
Mauzy, William Well, John Carson,
Samuel AACIark and other representa-
tive republicans, is making a steady
battle for the maintenance and increase
Of its advantage.
Lined up against the league is a
motley array of half reconciled fac
tions, some of them led by Sammy
Beckett, Max Goldberg and DR.. Abrahm.
others rejoicing in the political valor
Of the celebrated 6Bhmitz Rough Riders
and still another contingent reporting
for orders to Charles II. Forbes, sec
retary of the county committee and
one Of the men who committed polit-
ical treason at the>command of Johnny
Lynch and Tim Sullivan.
Forbes started out in this primary
campaign vowing dire punishment for
Eddie" Wolfe, the deprivation of the
senatorial nomination being the least
Of his threats But since that time
hang separately the Herrin men are
hanging together and Forbes has
patched up a truce which has swung
him into line behind the little senator.
He has taken back a lot of the hard
things he has said about Wolfe and is
giving a fine exhibition of the abject
subservience which is the first require
ment of service under William f. Her
rim.
According to the league leaders in
the thirty-eighth there are abundant
indications that the people of the dis
trict are a-Weary of the small senator

The accident occurred through the
overlooking of an order by the
men in charge of one Of the trains.
"The excursion was given by the
management pursuant to custom
of the road to treat its employees
and their families to an annual
outing. The horrors of the awful
disaster were intensified by the
fact that large percentage of the
injured and killed were women
and children-families of faithful
employees, making a pleasure trip
to which they had looked forward
in happy anticipation.
"Receiver Harmon at once,
with full concurrence of his Of

made to take advantage of the
fact that the injured persons were
inyited guests, or on account of the
relationship with. fellow-servants
of the employees who were to blame
for the collision, or on any other
grounds, but that fair settlements
should be made with the persons
injured and the survivors Of those
killed, without regard to whether
legal defense could be made or
not, and this course has peen pur-

An Ambiguous Candidate,

The efforts of the republican
party this year, as is usual when
they have desperate campaign
on, is to make the race on some
thing else than the real issue. or
Mr.. Taft's respectability aud neg
ative virtues there is no question.
That he has all his life been an Of
flee holder and kept out of trouble
for indirection may be compli-
ment to him, but only negative
one. 1t is queer, too, that a party
which has been before the country
for 30 years should have to forego
all it's own achievements and bank
on the personality of it's latest
candidate, whom it accepted only
because 1T had to.
The Burke effort to show that q
President is everything in Ma
tional administration loses force
when tested by the light of recent
events. What has the strenuous
Roosevelt, man of vastly more
force and persuasion and zeal for
reform than Taft, to show as his
achievements? What could Taft
be expected to accomplish with
the kind of Republican Congress
that is trying to get elected now
and with Cannon in power in the
House and Cannon's man, Friday
Sherman, sitting over the Senate?
The very fact that Taft has held
Office so long under Republican
regime, which is now trying to
continue in power, because of his
respectability rather than his own
record, shows that he is more ac-
ceptable to the party machine than
it feels itself to be to the country,
and hence argues that there is
something IN the Taft candidacy
that isn't exactly frank.
A man who has the support of
the Cannon conservatives and
Roosevelt radicals at the same
time must be something of all
things to all people, and hence
disappointment to most of them.
The personality of such man in
4tj
the presidential chair isn't gol'
to make for progress. If it were,
the standpatters who dictated the
Chicago platform and sherman
would not have stood for Taft
Post.

Tampering With Labor.

Perhaps the most disquieting
feature of the recent industrial
paralysis has been the inequitable
distribution of labor. We have
high prices for all the necessaries
of life because the farmer, we are
told, cannot get a sufllciency of
good labor. In the cities we have
long bread lines, hosts of the
starving unemployed, haunting
the gates of the great mills and
factories now for long time
silent or on half time, These
mills have reached such stage of
efficiency that the few that are
running can easily supply the
demand, even on partial time.
The exorbitant prices maintain
ed by methods such as the steel
trust recently exhibited tempt
capital and labor into rival plants,
thus duplicating the charges to
consumer when these rivals are
taken into the trust and silenced
and their hosts Of employees scat
tered. BY the payment of bigger
wages than farmers are able to
guarantee steadily, the county
labor has been tempted into town
to starve.
And worse than this, the hordes
of the unemployed foreigners
whose condition is now such a
grave problem have been brought
here either by some of the many
methods that have been devised
by the great Industrial concerns to
beat the contract labor laws, or
tempted here by the greed of
steamship companies.
The great iron and steel indus
tries of the country show strange,
but uniform, preference for for
eign labor. The butcher bill of
the great mills in this district
shows that foreign workmen are
employed almost exclusively here
in Industries in which tariff is
levied to protect American labor.
Most of these forel lgners are now
out of work, with no help in sight,
a burden and menace to the
community. Tampering with
economic laws thus shows it's
evil effects. Post.

support of Judge Judson Harmon OF
Cincinnati, Democratic candidate
for governor. As receiver of rail
roads, charged with the operation
of the same by the court that ap
pointed him receiver, Judge
Harmon has given substantial
evidence of his friendliness to the
men who work on the great trans.

In February, long before Judge
Harmon was candidate for
governor, the Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen's Magazine, the
official organ of this great body OF
railroad men, contained an edi-
torial concerning Judge Harmon,
under the heading, "Voluntary
Justice by Hon. Judson Harmon" ="
that shows one reason why Judge
Harmon is so popular among rail
readers. The editorial reads as
follows:
"The action of the supreme
court of the United States in
declaring the employers liability
law unconstitutional, suggested
idea that if all transportation
employees cared as little to take
advantage of the old "fellow-
servant doctrine as does Hon.

for such action, as there would be
no occasion for testing that law.

Fairbanks Sick

Chicago, Aug. 21,-Vice Pres.
dent Charles W. Fairbanks il
mysteriously ill in sanitarium al
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, following
hasty treatment of supposedly
acute ailment of the Henrotin
Memorial hospital in this city
Tuesday night. His trip to and
from Chicago and his stay here
was kept secret until today. 1t
WAS given out when the vice presi
dent arrived at the Union league
club last Monday that he was
suffering from overwork, and that
his rundown appearance was due
greatly to fatigue.
A report that Mr., Fairbanks
underwent surgical operation
while here is colored today by the
mysterious attitude Of the hospital
officials and the curt refusal of
DR.. Gustave Fulterer, who had
charge of the case, to discuss 1t in
any way whatever.
The hospital officials, except
DR.. Futterer, insisted today that
Mr.. Fairbanks had been treated
there only for "fatigue" and that
no operation had been performed.
1t was declared that the vice pres
dent was admitted Tuesday after
noon and discharged Wednesday
morning, after receiving treatment
for nervous exhaustion.
When he left the hospital We'd
nesday morning Mr., Fairbanks
appeared feeble and he as accom-
panied in the carriage that con-
veyed him to the Union League
club by trained nurse, who also
accompanied him when he started
for the south.

Prosperity Idea.

"The Republican leaders have
tried to monopolize the prosperity
idea, but events have exposed the
abs,rdity of their claim" Mr..
Bryan wrote to the Prosperity lea
que in session in New York. Was
ever greater truth embodied in so
few words2 "They attribute all
good to a Republican administra-
tion, and shirk responsibility for
everything that is bad. =" Another
clincher. The Republican leaders
don't know that there is such a
word as fairness in the dictionary,
Rule or ruin is their policy, and a
continuance of the policy has re-

bearing on the subject, that this
cablegram from the President was
withheld, along with Taft's own
alleged statement to his master.
If Mr.. Taft really protested in
the interest of fairness to the
negro troops, as we would be led
to believe, why, as secretary of
war and custodian of all official
correspondence of his department,
did he refrain from granting the
solemn request of the Senate of
United State2
The answer Is easy. Mr.. Taft
was at that time a candidate for
the presidential nomination, and
he relied upon President Roose.

unheard of before in this great
Republic, was nominated, and now
he wants the support of the negro
voters of the country, and little
he cares to what lengths he goes
to accomplish his purpose.

President Roosevelt's was one of
the policies and acts of his Taft
lauded administration. Does the

Treat Seed Wheat to Pre-

The Botanist of the Ohio Expert.
ment Station has determined from
direct examinations and from re-
ports received, that sinking smut
or bunt of wheat is widespread In
Ohio wheat fields the present seas.
on. This trouble is caused by the
smut fungus, and when present in
the seed wheat this disease is pro-
duced in the next years crop.
Wheat growers are advised,
therefore, to treat seed wheat,
if any sinking smut is present.
A perfectly clean crop can be
grown from smutted seed. There
are two we'll known, successful
methods of treatment, viz, thes
hot water and formalin methods;
of these the la tier is easier to
apply.
THE FoRMALIN TREATMENT OF WHEAT.
Foamalin, or 40 per cent
formaldehyde solution in water,
may be obtained at most drug
stores. Mix one pint or pound of
this Thoroughly in 40 gallons of
water; this makes the solution to
use, and is enough to treat about
SO bushels of seed wheat. For
mall amounts of seed use tormalin
and water in proportions. Four
ounces formalin to 10 gallons of
water will be enough for 10 to ~
bushels of feed.
Place seed wheat to be treated
on clean swept, tight floor In piles
of convenient size to be stirred
througho ut.
Sprinkle the formalin sOlu tion
from sprinkling can or nozzle up
on the pile, with stirring to
bottom of pile, until all possible is
absoI bed. After few minutes
interva repeat the operations of
sprinkling and stirring; these are
again repeated until at least three
quarts of solution per bushel of
grain has been absorbed. One
gallon per bushel is not too much.
The pile is then covered with
cloth or canvas for about two
hours; the covering is then re-
moved and the grain stirred at
intervals by shoveling over to dry
10. 1t is then ready tn SOW at
any time.
Caution: In handling treated
grain do not get it again smutted.
The shovel, drill, the grain bags
and other portions of floor used
should be sterilized by use of the
formalin solution. The bags may
he soaked in it for half an hour
and the Others treated by sprink-
ling.
If preferred the bags of grain
may be dipped in the formalin
solution contained in suitable
vessel after thorough immersing
the bags should be left in the
formalin for 10 minutes, then
Withdrawn, the grain allowed to
stand 2 hours in the bags and
spread to dry on sterile surface.
THE HOT WATER METHOD.
A less convenient method hut
