A CALAMITY HOWL

Republican leaders Mann, Hum
phrey and other Republicans have
annouEc ed through their speeches
in the senate and house the plan
Of the next Republican campaign.
1t is to be a calamity howl cam
paign. Every failure in the United
States is to be carefully recorded
and is to be unnouced in loud and
vociferous voice from the stump.
AS during all of the time that the
Republican party vas in power,
failures averaged two hundred a
week, and until the Democratic
leaven gets into full working power
they cannot be expected to be
stepped: it is pr obable that they
can gather enough to produce an
effect on any standpat audience
without much trouble.
There is one thing that has been
rather discouraging for Mr.. Mann
and his c~o-workers. Since those
speeches were made the usual an
nual reports have been made from
all the industrial centers and for
almost every town and city in the
United States. The tenor of them
all shows a prosperous year, and
brighter prospects than usual aye
reported. One thing that looks
very bad for them is that the wheat
crop is looking better than it ever
did at this time Of the year and
the acreage is much larger. The
world generally is coming to I'M
derstand that prosperity depends
on good crops and that trading
in stocks and bonds creates no new
wealth. While the stock market,
from which they draw all their in
SEPARATION in predicting calamity is
seeing dull times, the wheat contin-
ues to grow and the moisture
condition all over the country is
as good as eve reported and the
crops mainly depend on that.
The old time campaigning of
the Republican party consisted
largely Of threats to bring on panics
and distress if things did not go
their way. Now that the party is
out of poHe it cannot follow that
course and it has gone to calamity
bowling. What success it will have
along that line remains ia be seen.

Mr.. PINCHOT

The st. Louis Globe Democrat
thinks that Messrs. Pinchot and
Garfield are theorists whose pride
Of opinion would prevent them
from adjusting their programs to
the need of the people who are
now on earth"
Mr.. Garfield is but an echo Of
Mr.. Pinchot but it is a mistake to
call Mr.. Pinchot a theorist. He is
a gentleman of convictions: his
mind is a mathematical one. For
instance it is an exact calculation
with him that the longer he can tie
up, say, the coal mine of the west,
the larger will be the market In
the west for Pennsylvania coal. At
the same time, the electoral vote
of Pennsylvania exceeds that Of all
the Pacific coast states. Again the
more land, water and mines that
can be tied up in the west the
o room there will be for gov.
eminent agents to draw salaries ~
looking after them. Do not mis-
judge the abilities of Mr.. Pinckot

Because Of an explosion Of the

new Kansas City union station. traffic
was tied up there Sunday for several
hours, causing a lot OF annoyance to
people wanting to get out of that city.
The trouble will be felt all over Kan

nearly every railway.
1t was q bad day for the opening OF
the third largest and finest railway
station in the world. The Colorado

4:30 o'clock this morning. There were
scores Of Topeka people on that train.
who had been waiting for 1t to start
from 6 o'clock until $3.50 q. m. today.
When the train arrived here, there
were two cabs waiting and a grand
rush was made for these two vehicles.
Most of the passengers had to walk
home carrying heavy suit cases.
Trains due to arrive here Sunday
morning did not arrive until late last
night. People in Topeka did not know
when to expect a train. Employees at
local depots, conductors and brake
men were roasted" warmly. 1t will
be several days before the uproar
caused by the new depot is finished.
There was only one fault to be
found with the depot" one Topekan
said this morning: there are steps
down to the train sheds from the wait
ing room. The minute a person gets
to the bottom of the steps, he is almost
suffocated by the smoke from the en-

October, 1914, was a mild and
pleasant, and one of the most favor

No October in % years has had
more cloudy days. but this was large

fine weather during the last week of
the month.
The report of the weather bureau

temperature was So degrees, which is
2 degrees above normal and higher

THEY DISCUSS PEACE,
Baseball Magnate Admits That Neg0

Chicago, Nov. Garry Hermann,
chairman Of the national committee,
returned Sunday night to Cincinnati,
taking with him, it is reported, a plan
for the settlement Of the fight between
organized baseball and the Federal
league. Except 70 admit that prelimi-
nary negotiations for ending the base
ball war were discussed, Mr.. Herr
mann would say little.
Before the subject Of peace was
preached in New York we all swore
ourselves to secrecy regarding the
negotiations said Hermann. ''It was
agreed that publicity probably would
wreck our plans, and we will say moth
ing until we have reached some de-
cision."
The plan being considered is be-
lieved to include thu absorption of the
Federal league oy organized baseball,
leaving but the American and Ma
tional leagues in the major class.
