E. L. Houtz says that in riding out in
the country the past week be noticed
that the stand of corn is exceptionally
good this spring. It is quite evident
that moro OF the farmers have seen the
necessity OF taking more care Of their
seed corn. For the past few years the
stand OF corn has been poor because of
carelessness on the part of the farmer in
selecting and caring for his seed corn
and because Of cold, vet weather at
planting time. This year the weather
has been verv favorable and the stand
Of corn 10 almost perfect.

LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE NILE.
Not Much Use Made Of Water Trans
portatlon In Egypt.

It Is q curious fact that the Nile and
most of the canals in Egypt run north
and south. The wind blows nearly all
the year from the north. and thus fur
nishes the cheapest propelling power
for boats going south. When the boats
return north the rapid current of the
Nile is the motive power. The regu-
larity of the wind and the steadiness
Of the current are two reasons why
boats propelled by any other power
are SO little used. Time Is not 50 i'm.
portant an element in business in
Egypt as in some other countries. and
It does not matter. therefore. that
boats propelled by wind or current are
slow. But not so much use is made
of water transportation in Egypt as
one might think, in view Of the posi-
bilities offered by the Nile and the
many canals throughout the Delta.
The Nile is navigable for many hun
dred miles. The first cataract is at
Assouan, but there is no interruption
Of traffic until Wadi Halfa Is reached.

object of the canals is to distribute
water for irrigation. but they are real

ening the value of these canals will
soon be realized.

piled the clerk. And that is how far
from here! continued the Judge.

LABOR LEGISLATION
Republican States Have Been Lib.
eral in Legislation for
Labor.
Oemocratic States Have Done Little
to Mako Labor Conditions Better
Within Their Bounds.

It IL q fact that every important step
for the benefit Of American labor has
been taken either by Republican
Congress and administration. or by the
Legislature Of a Republican State. OF
course with the consent. and sometimes
by the advice, OF the State executive.
Democratic Congresses have been no
tably negligent in this respect. and
Democratic States have either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
ter within their bounds. or have slowly
and reluctantly followed ut a distance
IN the trail Of Republican reforms.
-. State LeGislatiOn.
The States have control of labor leg
islarion within their respective bounds,
federal authority being confined, SO far
rs labor is concerned. to the District
Of Columbia and the territories, federal
reservations and federal public works.
The, story Of labor legislation shows
that nearly all labor reforms originated
In Republican States. and at the pres
ent day the Republicans are far ahead
Of the Democrats in the enactment and
enforcement Of laws for the welfare
Of men and women and children who
work for a living. Twenty-six out of
thirty Republican States have labor
bureaus. and only seven out of sixteen
Democratic States have similar bu-
reaus. without which labor laws are
often dead letters. Twenty-three Re
publican States have factory inspectors
to see to the enforcement of the factory
laws Only six Democratic States have
factory inspection services. Fifteen
States-thirteen Republican and two
Democratic-have free employment
agencies. Eighteen States have laws
on their statute books prohibiting labor
on government works or public con-
tracts for more than eight hours day.
OF these States sixteen are Republican
and two Democratic. Four Republican
States and one Democratic State have
laws declaring eight hours to be legal
working day in the absence Of a con-
tract Twenty-seven States prohibit
the employment Of children under four
teen years Of age in factories. Of these
twenty-three are Republican and four
are Democratic States. Laws limiting
the hours OF the employment of chill
dren in factories or stores have been en-
acted In twenty-four Republican and
thirteen Democratic States. Eighteen
Republican and ten Democratic States
prohibit night work by children. Twelve
Republican and three Democratic
States prohibit the employment OF chill
dren in operating dangerous machinery
or cleaning machinery in motion. Fiji
teen Republican and six Democratic
The Columbus journal., 1908-10-07

States limit the hours Of labor Of wOm-
en-. 1t should be noted that twelve of
the Republican States which limit
wOmen's hours of labor have factory
inspectors to see that the law is Obeyed,
while only three Of the Democratic
States make such provision. In twenty
three Republican and ten Democratic
States employers are required by law
to provide seats for female workers.
Twelve States have enacted legisla-
ton intended to effect the extinction of
the sweatshOp system. with its desrad-
ing and revolving accessories. OF these
twelve States ten are Republican and
two Democratic. Seventeen Republican
and five Democratic States have laws
requiring the payment Of wages weekly
or fortnightly, or. In some instances,
prohibiting a longer period than one
month between pay days.
Trade Union Labels.
Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State-Nevada-h
laws in force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account of
membership in labor organizations. or
from compelling persons to agree not
to become members Of labor Organiza-
lions as condition of securing employ
ment or continuing In their employ
Forty States have passed laws allowing
trade unions to adopt labels or trade
marks to be used to designate products
OF the labor Of their members, and pro-
hibiting the cOunterfeiting Of the use
Of such labels or trade marks by un-
authorized persons. OF these States
twenty eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
The foregoing presents for considera-
ton by intelligent, patriotic labor sub
stantial facts and figures taken from
the statute books Of the several States.
No platitude can upset them They
prove the records Of the Republican
party and Of the Democracy on the la
Dor issue. and they must convince ev-
cry reasonable reader that the Republi-
can party has not only brought Ameri-
can labor up to it's present honorable
standard. but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance
Of protection and prosperity In the
future.

,RYAN's POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE.
Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(FrOm Mr.. Taft's Speech Of Accep-
tance)


The chief difference between the Re.
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies Of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. ROOsevelt's policies
have been progressive and regulative;
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. ROOse-
welt has favored regulation of the bust
ness In which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
of Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business In q lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity of the country of which they
are an important part: while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the
entire business in order to stamp out
the evils which they have practiced.
