The opponents of the measures we

another measure for especial attack, and
are engaged was purely economic. 1t has
a large economic side, but 1T is funda-
mentally an ethical movement. 1t Is not
or two or three years; 1t Is a movement
which must be persevered in until the
spirit which lies behind 1t sinks deep Into
the heart and the conscience of the whole
people. It is always important to
choose the right means to achieve
our purpose, but 1t Is even more important
to keep this purpose clearly before us:
and this purpose Is to secure national
honesty in business and politics. We do
not subscribe to the cynical belief that

condoned when the success is moderate
and ~applauded when the success is great.

Control of Railroads..

Not only should there be action on GER
tain laws affecting wage earners; there
to secure control over the great business
concerns engaged In interstate commerce,
and especially over the great common
carriers. The Interstate Commerce com
mission should be empowered to pass
upon any rate or practice On It's own in
ttiative. Moreover, 1t should be provided
thai whenever the commission has reason
TO believe that a proposed advance in a
rate ought not to be made without in
vestigation. It should have authority to
bending examination by the commission.

Bailey the uncertain delegates would
probably follow the lead of the &C.
serters.
AS for the hundredth time his eye
ran down the column his hands clinch-
ed nervously. His glance rested for q
moment on Crosby county with it's
eleven votes
Crosby county stood committed to
Foster. Could Woodham induce them
to change it would mean a difference
Of twenty-five votes for Bailey, the
eleven votes added and the eleven tax
en- away from the Foster adherents.
The head of the Crosby delegation was
Howard Graves. The others would
vote as he voted. And only few days
before Graves had asked consent to
marry Marian Woodham!
At the time Woodham had refused
because Graves was young attorney
still struggling for recognition at the
bar, while Woodham was ambitious
for his daughter. Now he drew q
sheet Of paper toward him and wrote
rapidly for a moment. Then he thrust
the sheet into an envelope and called
a messenger.
An hour later Howard Graves, rest
ing in his room at>the hotel for the
battle of the morrow, received the
missive and read it dozen times be-
fore he placed 1t in his pocket.
1t was automatically worded. II
did not openly bride, but suggested
that the writer had learned that he
was mistaken as to Graves political
affiliations. If it was true, as he now
had reason to believe, that Graves and
the Crosby delegation were IN reality
supporters of the Bailey boom. he beg
ged to withdraw his opposition TO the
match Graves had suggested
Graves was still uncertain when he
went into the convention hall the FOL
lowing morning. From his place In

EXCITEMENT was at white heat in the
convention town. The ring was In the
last ditch, fighting gamely. Robert
Woodham, who had led many another
forlorn hope and who had grown gray
In the service of his party (as he had
understood that service), shook his
head as he went over the columns OF
figures N the inner Office at the tenn
porary headquarters.
Try as he would he could not figure
a victory. The two-thirds rule pre-
vailed and he could count barely a
majority for the ring candidate. The
nomination of Dudley for governor
meant the triumph Of the reform fac
ton and the utter disruption Of the
state machine, for Foster stood
pledged to investigate to the fullest
the graft charges brought against the
ring.
On the other hand, Graham Bailey
was secretly pledged to forget the
same promises he had made. Appar-
emily both men were eager to uncover
the graft that was the disgrace of the
party, but Foster alone was sincere.
The exposure of the graft scandals
would not affect Woodham directly.
He had always kept himself clear Of
the crooked work in the party. Could
it be accomplished quietly, he would
welcome the feat Of Kidding the party
of those politicians who were respon-
sible for the scandal, but here lay the
trouble! The graft was widespread.
Its uncovering would disrupt the en-
tire party machine. New and mex
perienced men would be placed in
charge OF the party interests, and no
members of the old ring could find a
place In the councils.
To Robert Woodham politics was as
the breath of life to his nostrils He
had played the game from the day
that he had organized the junior
Marching club in the little village
which had been his boyhood home.
1t WAS his sole relaxation. Other stra-
tegists played chess. He preferred
the political pawn to the bits of carved
wood or ivory and his board was an
entire state.
Now he saw the end of it all. Tn
less on an early ballot he could swing
the doubtful delegates into the Bailey
ranks there would be a stampede to
Foster If he could arrange to STAN

Drouth Makes Work for Repair Shops

Have you any idea now many tires
have been set every day during the
lrouth?
These dry days shrink the wood on
wagon and carriage wheels and leave
the iron tires too big. In ordinary
weather, all that is necessary is to run
the buggy or wagon into a creek bed
and let it soak up little water; that
tightens the tires. But this year when
the drouth held on for three months,
this old plan did not work. The re-
suit has been that the carriage repair
shops have been busy.
OF course, it is impossible to say
Just how much extra work the drouth
has made in this line, but If it were
possible to get the exact amount of
money spent for shrinking tires dur
ing the drouth, the amount probably
would be astonishingly large.

What Rryan's Election Means.

The Indianapolis News tries TO con-
vince itself that the laws and policies
of the nation have little TO do with
tle national prosperity OF the land.
1t is futile to attempt to prove such
a postulate. Laws and policies regu-
lating commercial and industrial and
agricultural affairs are to- the nation
what the business policies and the
rules and regulations of a great i'll
dustry are to the success of that in
dustry. The methods determine
whether or not the business is sue
cess or failure, the rules and regula-
tons determine the conduct Of the
employer and the employed, the pro-
cesses of manufacture are governed
by fixed laws applied to- special con-
ditions, and in this respect adj are but
the type OF the relations OF govern
ment to national movement and ac-
complishment. Change suddenly the
plans and policies of great industry,
inject new and untried schemes, and
at once comes a jar. stoppage, re-
adjustment and disaster No shrewd
business corporation makes radical
,.hanges in all directions at once, nor
does it make them at any time so hat
lar results. That is what Reprbli-
cans are trying to avoid, but to &C
complish needed alteration OF policy
so gradually and so evenly that need
ed reforms will be brought about with
