TAFT AND LITIGATION.

Mr.. Taft has declared for shorten-
ing litigation; for changing the sys-
tenn whereby the poor man may be
defeated by the amending legal war
fare to be waged by men or corpora
tions of comparatively unlimited re-
sources Is he not, in this, limiting
his attitude toward the Standard Oil
Company's ability to buy favorable
verdicts, in certain cases; while most
of us cannot employ legal field mar
shals or buy those of the enemy, In
order to win our cases. When elected,
Mr.. Taft will not merely sympathlze
with the laborer, but will also con-
tinue Roosevelt's policy of combating
any corporation which endeavors tn
encroach on those poor

termination to apply that knowledge

PUBLIC RIGHT TO SELF PRESERVATION.

There is strike on among 5000
shop empoyes of the Canadian Pacific
railroad which will give the people OF
the Canadian northwest a complete
object lesson as to the disaster which
unrestrained labor strife between en-
ployer and worklnen can create. For
couver a vast area of country extend
ing for several hundred miles back in
each direction from the railroad is abb
solutely dependent upon this one line
Of transportation. Their harvest is now
on and it is a big one. Just at the
moment that the railroad is to be
taxed to its utmost to carry the grain
to market the employees walk out and
while the struggle between owner and
worlsrnen goes on the toll of a summer
and investments, to hundreds Of
thousands of people are lost because of
lack Of transportation facilities.
Under these conditions the continued
operation of a.. railroad becomes as
much human necessity as access to
air and water. In much Of that Ca
madam country whole communities will
starve unless the railroad trains can
be kept going and coming
1t is for these reasons that the ne
cessities Of self preservation are go
ing to compel us to find another way
of settling disputes of employment be-
tween railway operatives and operat-
ors. The men probably had a just
claim, at any rate in controversies be-
tween wage workers and millionaire
owners public sympathy is generally
with the worker but if the labor or
ganization had been asking for d.
vision of the railroad property the ef-
feet of their strike would have been
the same. When an organization Of
5000 men walks out the road is prac-
tically tied up and the people of vast
empire are marooned in desUlate To-
calities.
No organization Of men should be
permitted to exercise such power over
the lives and property of other people.
Railroads should be kept running at all
times Organized strikes on common
carriers upon which communities are
compelled to depend should be made
illegal and criminal and the wage
worker should be compensated for this
| abridgment of his personal rights by
being given some legal avenue Of ap-
proach to his rights In the matter of
wage compensation. The C. P. Ry.. Of
fers an instance in which the public
has as much Of right to Interfere
as tho city's water supply were to
be shut off while a wage controversy

WOULDN'T RISK INSPECTION.
0Mason CITY obe-Gazette

NMasOIt Nlty 3iouc-GdAcllcJ.
The milkman astonished his Gus
toners the first OF the week by an
nouncing that hereafter seven cents
the quart would be the price for milk
delivered at the customers door.
There was a little grumbling, but the
milkman fastened to explain that the
raise in price of one cent is due to a
shortage. The recent ruling, he said,
that cows be inspected has cut down
the supply. and large number Of
people who knew their cows would
not stand the test of an inspection
quit milking them, and the result is
that milk is scarce. Most people.
however feel that if one cent more
is necessary that good clean milk be
sold them, that the extra penny will
be cheerfully given The problem Is
to stock the country with healthy
cows which, Of course, will take
time.

what has occurred to American labor
since 1916 every time the democratic
party has been in power and framed
q tariff law.
The Herald does not believe that
Samuel Gompers or any other well
paid labor leader can throw enough
dust into the eyes of the working peo-
pie to blind them so much to their
own interests that they will vote for
Bryan. He represents a party that
means calamity to them. 1t is a pleas
ure to notice without the least bias,
that labor is revolving against such
rulership-against such herding and
driving.

is money in it. These men will then
have new survey made. Detailed
blue prints will be prepared of every
cut and every fill, every bridge and
every station. Complete data by exper-
fenced railroad people will be prepared
as to the possible traffic to be carried,
the operating cost and probable profits.
Upon these data rich men will back
the enterprise, bonds will be floated
and the people along the line will con-
tribute their tax aid.
Until someone of railroad expert
ence can present convincing showing
that such road would be money
maker the road will not be built.
The trouble with the proposition yes
terday was that it was not business
like. A Hebrew gentleman from New
York offered to find money loaners
who will put up three-fourths Of the
cost and take first mortgage claim
on the property if the citizens would
put up one fourth. Such an offer would
have been fair enough if there had
been any competent and convincing
showing made that the road would pay
operating expenses and keep out OF the
hands of a bond holders receiver but
the gentleman knew nothing OF the
proposed route, did not pretend to
know within $4,000 per mile what the
road would cost, cared nothing about
the possible success of the venture. He
merely thought that he could float the
bonds il the people would put up an
equity of one- fourth the cost or some
thing like 100000 which would go as
a bonus to the bond holders in case the
road did not pay and would be a pre-
ferred stock investment il it did pay.
Marshalltown recently voted tax
aid Of 100000. to a better scheme than
that. Mr.. Browne proposed to buy a
valuable power plant electric light,
gas and street railway plant the net
earnings Of which from city business
alone were capable of meeting per
cent interest on a 100000 bond issue.
This bond issue with the $4,000 tax
aid and other tax aids which could
lave been obtained would have en-
abled him to borrow his way out on
line from Charles City to Melbourne
by way of Marshalltown but he lacked
means sufficient to buy
the equity necessary to make his start.
He got $4,000 stock subscription in
Marshalltown aside from his tax aid
but upon conditions which he was un-
able to meet.
Some day a railroad man will come
along who can explain to investors
whether this proposed line will pay OPP
Grating expenses and profit or not.
Then he will find men who will be
willing to go into the venture for the
money there is in it but until then the
road will not be built. There were men
in shat meeting yesterday capable Of
putting $4,000 into such a road single
handed Many others could be inter-
ested for $4,000 to $4,000 in deals
which promise reward so that 100000
or 100000 is not prohibitive

town and Charles City for an invest
ment full of promises. 1t is prohibit
tive, however, as bonus.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
Manson Journal.)


1t is strange how soon we forget
even the great dead The news on
Senator Allison's death was immedi-
ately followed by comments on the
senatorial situation in Iowa. There
seems to be but one solution to II
and that is the election of Governor
Cummins to the seat made vacant.
No one has ever questioned his; right
to this position. Had 1t not been
for sympathy for the old senator,
Mr. CuImmins would now be the nom
inee of the party by 10000 majority.
He is the choice of the party today
by that many votes but it is inn
possible to settle it now by vote 1t

Cummins could appoint senator.
but under the circumstances, there
is no call for him to do so. as con-
gress is not in session. and will con-
vene sor only short time in De-
cember, before the Iowa legislature
will meet and elect. The notion thai
the governor would resign and have
Garst appoint him to the vacancy Is
too cheap politics for Governor Cum
Minis to indulge In. If you think he
is of this caliber. you mistake the
man. The legislature that is to be
elected must be for the governor for
senator. He is Iowa's choice and
to take up any other man would be
unfair, and directly against the al
legged policy Of harmony the party
has been striving for since the pri-
mary. The standpat organization,

is the only way to cement the party
into one solid, homogeneous mass for
the national ticket 1t would insure
harmony in Iowa, and 100000 majority
for the ticket. This is the time for
Iowa. to show It's real republicanism.
We doubt if any member of the leg
islature who will refuse to support the
governor. can be elected. 1t is the only
and proper thing to do. Elect Cover
nor Cummins to the vacancy and de-
stroy factionalism in Iowa forever. Are
you willing to do it?

1t is likely that Elihu Root, secre-

THE LABoRING MANS POLITICS.
(Clintnn Heraldl

People who work for wages should
study political parties and what they
do for them. "A laborer wants results
for his toll Nothing else satisfies him.
He should cast his lot with a political
party that gives results instead OF
promises that are never fulfilled. 1t is
easy for the democratic party to prom
Use and then forget after election,
and it frequently happens that the
promises are made to deceive and
catch votes This it has always done
in the case of economics. Most of the
reforms promised are intended to ride
into power even tho the wage Garner

LET THE PEOPLE NOMINATE.

| (Boone News Republican)
| In view of the Importance of the
office of supreme judge, and consider
| ing the very large field of candidates,
| it is inconceivable that the state CEN
trail committee would undertake the
task of selecting the candidate. Some
such suggestion is being talked, ac-
cording to the Register and Leader
this morning, but it is hard to believe
that such course could result other
than in disappointment, if it should be
| followed out.
The question should be referred back
| to the county conventions.The expense
| of a county convention is very little
and the expense of a state convention
is not alarming. The republican party
| of iowa is certainly in need OF har-
lnony this year, and the only way to
promote it when there are so many
candidates. is to let the whole party
speak in this matter. If there were
only one candidate or If the office were
unimportant, it would be we'll enough
to let the. committee make the selec-
ton and save the expense of. a conven-
ton But in view of the fact that there
are candidates from all parts of the
state, ana Lldl q SeleCLlOH Dy Tie COll-
mittee would leave loophole for dis
| satisfaction and disaffection, no
chances should be taken. The party in
the state at large has duty to per-
| form. A calamity has befallen it in the
death of Judge Bishop, but it should
not shirk the responsibility which that
| lamentable incident imposes upon it.,
because of a little expense.
| Nor will the recalling of the Water
loo convention meet with popular ia
vor. That convention had little to do
but endorse the candidates. of Judge
Weaver and Judge Ladd, and little
| attention was paid to issues in the Sc
lection of candidates. Now there is a
distinct issue of candidates., all wor-
| thy ones. and entitled to the best judg-
ment of the people in making the des-
| ignation. No other course should be
contemplated other than that of go
ing back to the county conventions. as
pointed out by Attorney General By

GOMPERS
SUSTAINED
BY the Unions in his Fight
For The Election Of
Bryan

Chicago, Ill, Sept 11.-There is
much apprehension in the press Of the
attitude Of organized labor with re-
spect to the position taken by Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and other lead
ers Of the Federation Of Labor taking
the position that the election Of Bry-
and Kern is for the best interests Of
their organization. Practical proof Of
this statement was given in Chicago
when the various branches of the Fed
Grafton of Labor in this city with
practical unanimity voted to snstain
Mr. Gompers in his advocacy of the
election of the Democratic national
ticket. The actual news of that i'm
portant meeting has never been accur-
ately given to the people Of this coun-
try save through the press bureau of
the Democratic national committee.
Only four votes were cast at this
meeting of the representatives of all
branches of federated labor in Chica-
go against the Gompers and Mitchell
program, and those were the votes
Of Socialists, who are opposed to both
political parties. The action of the
Chicago branch of federated labor was
Of great Importance for the reason
that It was the first of the great labor
bodies to meet the issue of the in
doresment or reputation of Mr.. Com
pers' cause What the Federation Of
Labor in Chicago did has been fol-
lowed by branches in New York and
other cities The opposition Of Mr..
Gompers' course has come largely
from Republican Influences which find
expression in many Of the metropoH-
tan papers of the country Up to the
present time Mr.. Gompers' course has
met with the approval of all organ
lied labor bodies that have taken cog
nizance Of his attitude in national poll
tics.
