From Jefferson City.

Another Democratic prosperity
note. Railroad shops at Sedalia are
running on longer hours. The change
was made last week. 1t was made be-
cause the railroad business was getting
better and bigger all the time. When
the railroad business improves it is a
sign people are buying more machin-
cry, more vehicles, more implements,
more clothing, shoes and other things
that have to be transported from man
ufacturer to nsume The people
are buying most of these things be-
cause they are able to have them.
They are able to have them because
they are prospecting. They are pros
porous because trade conditions are
good and because of the universal
confidence in President Wilson and
the Democratic Congress. The few
Republicans who still yawp about a
panic are getting NJ attention because
people generally are too busy to give
them a hearing.
Another prosperity note. Plant No.
8 of the great Atlas Cement Company
at Hannibal, Missouri, has just closed
down. This seems at first glance a
queer sort of good times item, but
when the reason for closing down is
made public it looks mighty good.
That plant, which is part of the big
gest establishment of its kind in the
world, was unableto get enough hands
to do the work. This, too, in spite of
the fact that it has always paid fair
wages. The shortage of labor a be
attributed to only one source. That
source is the general prosperity Of the
country and 1.-THE unprecedented de-
mand for laborers in every line of in
dustry. This is all the more crafty
ing to Democrats because of the con-
tidence i. indicates in the financial and
industrial world on the v of a gen.
eral revision of the tariff. 1t likewise
indicates that people everywhere are
too busy to pay any attention to po-
litical a~gitators who talk hard times
and predict all sorts Of calamities I'M
der q Democratic administration.
Another great political problem is
confronting the rank and :.dle of the
Progressive party. Their leaders in
Congress have all gone back to. the
Republican fold and are now in charge
of the fight that is being made against
q revision Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, the passage Of which gave birth
to the party. Will new leaders come
to the front and hold the new party
together, or will 1t be swallowed up
by the reactionaries who robbed Mr..
Roosevelt OF a nomination he had
honestly won? VIII the rank and file
follow their old leaders back into the
trust fattened camp or will it stand by
the Democrats who are now fighting
single handed in Congress for equal
rights to al and special privileges to

TEDDY got six cents damage from
that Wisconsin editor who had written
that he, the strenuous, was given to
look upon the wine when it was red.
The jury, after the evidence was all
in, summed up the damage in the
sum above stated. This was ''soother-
ing" to the feelings of the plaintiff,
and no doubt notifying to the de-
PENDANT: an able editor ought to shoot
a bigger gun than that. The ''power
of the press" in Wisconsin seems to
be a negligible factor.

MASS MEETING IN THE HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.
Everett Citizens Form New Organiza-
ton to Reform City Government.

II ask you, fellow citizens, what
have our commissioners done in all
these months for the city of Everett?
Have they done anything?"
Silence answers-"NO!"
On Wednesday evening, September
3, with these fervent words and with
this loud answer of Silence" Attor-
ney R. j. Faussett fired the first gun
(pop) of a campaign to recall Ev-
erett's three commissioners.
1t happened after an evenings en-
tertainment in which a special COM
mittee of "Citizens and Taxpayers" had
reported that the Northern Pacific
railroad plus the Everett Improve
ment company, plus Everett's three
commissioners had prepared a new
plat of the waterfront whereby the
privately exploited municipal docks
were to be thoroughly bottled up and
to accumulate value through time and
cobwebs.
! A glance about the room revealed
the ideal setting for municipal re-
form" Here were lawyers who had
never accepted" fat fee from cor
poration. There were real estate deal
ers who had been the victims of
dreams of the Greater Everett" that
has never arrived The business doc
tor, the ex-judge, the money lender,
added prestige to the august array.
One somehow got the notion that
some one was sore at being left out
of "divy" somewhere.
over half of the gathering was COM
posed of Socialists, who are always in
terested in public affairs and who see
in the fight over the distribution of
the surplus value created by labor, the
tcause of all attempts at middle-class
reform.
After several fiery speeches a mo-
ton was passed to hold weekly meet
|ings on Wednesday nights until our
fair city should be redeemed.
We Socialists are not interested in
recalling the commissioners at this
time. We cannot yet cast a majority
vote and until we can the city of Ey-
erett cannot be reformed" for the
working class. We did not elect
Christensen, Thompson and Brodeck
we are not responsible for their rec
ords of commission and omission. If
however, those who did vote for them
see fin TO acknowledge their mistake
and recall them, we will place three
