II transportation rates are Of infer
Tor Importance in the transaction Of
business and in the cost Of living,
then 1t necessarily follows that not
much relief is to be expected from
river navigation. But even II It were
to be admitted that river navigation

the alienation is a long way off

sistent, and increasing. Since the
statesmen who four years ago prom
ised the people who pay the bills OF
this country all sorts of benefits from
regulation and rate reductions have
failed so completely and so miserably
in their predictions, why should the
public now place any credence in
their prophecies Of the blessings that
are to come from the river navlga-
ton? The agitation for waterways
will serve mainly the purposes OF
office holders and office hunters and
be the means of spending enormous
sums of public money for relatively
no results-money which would bet
ter 60 to improving and perfecting
the great lines of transportation al
ready in existence. Having worked
to a "frazzle" (if may employ a
term which has now become classicl
railroad tate regulation without any
result whatever to the people who
pay the bills of this country, the
office holder and the office hunter
now propose to keep themselves In
power or put themselves in place, as
the case may be, by agitating the sub
ject Of river navigation.
Would not the energy which has
been spent on the rate question In
Kansas, for example, have been bet
ter employed in exterminating the
extortioners and non-producers from
the working world and in establish
ing thorough legislation and organi-
cation some reasonable and Just re-
lationship between what the helpless
farmer gets for his product and what
the hapIess consumer has to pay?
Every farmer and other producer
and every man that buys food or
clothing should be convinced by this
time that the crying need Of the
country is something else than rate
reduction,

WHO WROTE IT?

N
The Kansas City Star prints with
out credit this delightful little poem
Its author should be known:
'"out in the fields so barren,
Underneath the snow and sleet,
In the bosom Of the plowland,
sleeps the promise Of the wheat!
with Its fifty thousand binders
And It's hundred thousand men
And horses painting through the grain
And whips that snap again,
And screaming monsters, breathing
steam,
Dividing grain and chaff,
And dust yelled men whose pitch
N forks CLEAN
-'he while they Jest and laugh
And rafting trains that carry bread
A hungry world to fill
All sleeping Just beneath the snow
Out yonder on the hill"

strike. Here is the way It works:
A big body Of union labor men de-
eide that the price Of everything but
wages has advanced. They make a
demand for more money, threaten to
strike. possibly do strike, and dis
rupt business conditions, and then
there is a compromise in which they
receive their demands. They get
more money. spend, spend 1t Just as
they did the lesser wages. create a
greater demand for eatables and
clothing and the prices on these
things advance because Of the In
creased demand. Then there is an
other demand for higher wages
which IL granted, and another In
creased cost Of living.

Miners EXPECTED

His Fate Will Be Determined

indianapolis. Ind. Dec. l3.-Whether
Thomas l.. Lewis shall continue as
president OF the United Mine Work

succeeded upon the retirement Of John
Mitchell three years ago, will be de-
termined by today's referendum cleo
tion, the results OF which will be an
nounced at the general convention of
the organization In Columbus next
month. The opposition to Lewis Is
said TO have been steadily gaining
strength for long time past and that
those ut the head OF the movement
confidentially declare that the count
of the ballots will show the defeat OF
the president.
lewis's loss Of popularity among
tho rank and file Of the organization
In attributed chiefly TO the stand he
took early In the present year In re-
CARDS to the strike Of the coal miners
In the Illinois field. Notwithstanding
the fact that vote OF the men inv0lv.
ed showed their determination to con-
tinue the strike until their cause was
won. President Lewis attempted to
force them TO accept the compromise
offered by the mine owners and even
threatened to withdraw the support Of
the national organisation unless the
men yielded. The special convention
held In this city to settle the matter
showed that the organization as
whole was not In sympathy with the
stand taken by the president.
II has been the vote OF the Illinois
miners that has elected Lewis for the
last two years. and his opponents say
Il will be the Illinois vote that vii.
accomplish his defeat at the present
election.
~rhc choice Of the opposition to sue
ceed Lewis is John p. White. president
Of the Iowa district. Friends OF White

In the southwest district and In some
portions OF the East. there Is little
doubt that the Iowa man will be elect.
