Big Crowds Here Labor Day

Ideal weather conditions favored the
immense throngs that Gro wded this re-
sort from Saturday to Labor Day.
Thousands came down each day on the
excursion trains. The Labor Day
crowds were in keeping with the
throngs of former seasons. Twenty-Five
sections of excursion trains came down
during the three days.
Despite the fact that good many of
our hotels are preparing to place the
lock on their doors, there will be quite
a few hotels that will cater to guests
the year around.
Wildwood-by-the- Sea is certainly an
appropriate title for our resort, but In
the writer's ~opinionit would not be out
of place to say "Wild wood-by-the Sea,
the %year-round resort" Now is the
time that our best efforts should be put
forward in an attempt to have the peo-
pie realize that Wildwood is the ideal
resort in both summer and winter.
Folks who spent several months of the
winter season In Wildwood are enthus-
iastic in their praise of its advantages.
Carnival Day"w will do our resort more
good than was at first thought. In
former years Wildwood visitors have
looked forward to the "closing day.
exercises. This gives the idea that our
resort is closing its doors. In an effort
to have the public realize that Wild
wood intends to remain "wide openn
the entire year the name has been
changed to Carnival Day." 1t is ad-
mitted the bands will leave and things
will not be as lively as during the sum-
mer season, but still there is plenty of
recreation FOR both young and old
throughout the year. The great crowds
will be missing of couse, but that is to
be expected. Life is not all play. Folks
have to get back in harness and earn
their daily bread. All play and no
work is not the American motto.
For those that wish to winter here,
the island offers excellent inducements.

that Wildwood locks her doors after

Blackleg in Cattle.

The Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture, and State Veterinarian, DIR.
d. F. Luckey, at Columbia, are receiv-
ing messages and letters concerning
outbreaks of blackleg in young cattle,
indicative that the disease appears to
be more prevalent than it has been
for a number of years. Secretary
Jewell Mayes calls special attention
to the following Interview by Doctor
Luckey:
"The symptoms of blackleg are
very easily recognized by anyone who
has ever seen a case. AS a rule, it
affects the fattest calves in the lot.
1t runs very rapid course, lasting as
a rule, from twelve to twenty-four
hours and almost invariably results in
death. The calf first shows lameness.
Within few hours, swelling ap-
pears on some part of the body and
generally on one of the quarters.
Rubbing the swelling causes crack
ling sound beneath the skin. When
the animal is skinned, the affected
portion appears bruised as if it had
been hit with club. These symptoms
are unmistakable.
"The carcasses o. blaekleg calves
should be thoroughly burned in order
to destroy infections and prevent the
spread of the disease. If these car
casses are not burned. the infection
will remain on the premises for years
and make growing Improbable
unless all young cattle are regularly
vaccinated.
"Whenever there is an outbreak OF
blackleg, all the young cattle in the
community should be vaccinated. In
the event that a case is lost in a herd,
and little time would be required to
secure the vaccine, it is advisable
to reduce the feed SO that they will
shrink slightly. They are not so APT
to develop blackleg while shrinking
as while gaining in weight. Three
days after the vaccine is administered
they make be put back on full feed OF
good pasture"
Farmers and stockmen are invited
to communicate with State Veterina-
rian Luckey or the Board, in case
blackleg is breaking out and free ad-
vice is desired.

Full Crew Swamped.

ST. LOUIS, November H.-Complete
official figures show the majority Civ
en- by the State of Missouri against
the Full Crew Bill to be three times as
great as the estimate based on early
returns. There we're 324 ,0S5 votes
against and 1853, ,593 in favor, a major
ity of 164, 1872 in opposition to the bill,
making the vote more than two to one
against it. Outside of the three prin-
cipal cities, st. Louis, Kansas and st.
Joseph, the measures received only
SO, $50 votes in the State and was beat.
en- by ratio Of about three to one
The farmers in every section voted
almost solidly against it.
The city OF st. Louis, in which the
Brotherhood of Trainmen looked fol-
a big majority for their bill, went
against it by 18,417 votes. In Kansas
City, where it was aided by local
political fight and in st. Joseph, where
it's friends made an especially vigor'
our campaign, it carried.
Especial interest was attached tc
the election all over the United States
as it was the first time any regulation
affecting railroads was submitted to 9
vote of the people. W. G.. Lee Of
Cleveland, Ohio, national head of the
Brotherhood of Trainmen, came tc
Missouri and personally conducted
the campaign for his organization
The Missouri statutes prevented the
roads making an active campaign
whereas the members of the Train
mems Union were free to work as
they saw fit in behalf of the meas
ure and spent vast sums Of money
The majority cast against the bill ID
one of the greatest in the history o.
Missouri, and is far bigger than the
State has ever given any candidate
for Office.
After the Legislature passed tht
measure, the railroads, under the ref
erendum, brought it before the people
for vote. Railroad officials are jubi
liant over the result and declare it
striking and uncontrovertible evi'
dence that the farmers and people Of
the State generally are now in sym.
pathy with the transportation com
panies and iu favor of giving them
fair play, and that Railroad batting
has ceased to be popular.

rape because she and her husband
voluntarily gave their consent to what
was done.
2. That the circumstances sur
rounding the parties at the time were
such as to make compulsion by force,
duress or fear impossible and unbe-
lievable.
8. In addition to these conceded
circumstances, the admissions of the
prosecutrix and the testimony of the
accused parties to the same effect,
there was also the unimpeached testi-
mony of two farmers who we're not
involved in these charges in any man
ner, who testified that they were So
licited by the prosecutrix or her hus-
band to pay consideration and join
the defendants in their illictpleasures,
but declined the invitation. Doubtless
the young men who were indicted had
been guilty of gross and disgusting
bestiality, of fornicat!on or adultery,
and the natural Indignation excited in
the community by such revolving con-
duct accounts for the readiness of
grand jurors to indict and of trial
jurors to punish them; but such facts
of bestiality and such righteous, in
dignation against bestial conduct do
not justify conviction for rape which
is. specific crime clearly defined by
statute. The fact that two Of the ac-
cused parties had actually pleaded
guilty and had accepted light SEN
tences is readily accounted for by the
further facts that they we're under in
dictment for crime which was pun
ishable by death or by imprisonment
for life and the people of that COM
munity had been so angered and
aroused by their bestiality that they
seemed determined to convict them
of the greater crime in any event,
whether rightly or wrongly. Under
these circumstances it is not strange
that some of the accused parties un-
der promise or hope of leRiency and
light punishment agreed to plead
guilty. In any event, the testimony
in the record fully sustains and
justifies the opinion of the Supreme
Court in holding that the evidence
was not sufficient to sustain con-
viction for criminal assault
The ruling of the Appellate Court
in this case is not based upon any
technical ground or principle, but
goes directly to the real merit and
justice of the matter, and such de-
cision does not, I submit, tend in any
manner to bring the Supreme Court
into public contempt, but, on the con-
trary, it must be generally approved.
liz his judgment had been affirmed,
under the record evidence presented
to the APPELLATE Court, then any man
might be charged with first degree
murder and convicted on evidence
showing merely a criminal assault
which had not resulted in any loss of
life. JOHN F. GREEN.

price of blacksmith work, Ahe could
never change the price of anything
connected with his own business or
regulate its expense. In that case he
would be situated just as the railroads
are.
Suppose everything connected with
the blacksmith's business was regu-
lated at the county seat, 2omiles away
from his shop. Suppose one county
official fixed the amount of his taxes,
another determined what machine
tools he should have in the shop and
how they should be run, and still an
other settle what he should get for
shoeing horse all round, how much
for sharpening shoes, how much for
putting toe-weights on a trotting
horse and how much for putting new
tires on wagon. Say that another
determined what kind of iron and
steel he should put into each job. Then
let us suppose that he had to hire his
helper from union and pay union
wages and to buy his material at the
market price. Suppose that taxes,
prices OF materials, wages and prices
for work we're regulated, each with
out any relation to the rest. FL ow
long would the blacksmith last?
This is the situation Of the railroads.
The tax officials of the several coun-
ties in Missouri say what their taxes
shall be. All railroad labor is strong
ly unionized and from time to time
the unions raise the wages. There
are laws and regulations of both the
State and the nation which fix the
kind of rolling stock the roads must
use, how many hours they may work
their men and how they must operate
their trains. And the price of the
only thing the road has to trans
portation-is settled by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, by the maxi
mum fare laws of Missouri and other
States, and by their railroad commits
sions also.
Now-and this is the final aud
browning absurdity-there is no ma
chinery provided for connecting up
these various kinds of control so that
they shall be exercised with relation
to each other. There is nothing to
prevent a State Legislature from
passing a maximum fare law which
will lower the income of a road at a
time when ties, rails, engines and cars
are coming up in the market, when
the unions are securing a trainmen's
wage increase Of 10 per cent and q
winter Of heavy SHOWS is just merging

by "A summer of drouth, which will
cut down revenue from all products
of the farm and garden.
Sensible, rational Government con-
troll would automatically adjust rail
road income to changes in necessary
railroad expenses. The kind of con-
troll we have now is unjust and idiotie
and would drive a country blacksmith
or a corner grocery into insolvency
just as surely as it is driving the rail.

Control Applied Idiotically.

(From The ST. Louis Republic, Wednesday,
November IS, 1914.)
The crucial difficulty of railroad
management in the United States in
these days does not lie in the fact of
government control. 1t lies in the
fact that the power of the govern
ment to control railroads has been ap-
piled with no reference whatever to
the fundamental conditions of busi-
ness solvency.
There is no mystery about these
conditions. They are simplicity itself
and they are the same for country
blacksmith shop as for the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
The blacksmith has to reckon with
the cost of iron and steel, the expense
for rent, fuel, helpers wages, taxes,
etc., and the price he can get for
horseshoeing, carriage and auto re-
pairs, wagon work and the like. The
margin between what he can get for
his work, on the one side, and what
he has to pay out for materials, labor
and general business expense on the
other, measures his profits.
Now SO long as none of these three
things changes much the changes,
such as they are, only .affect the
amount of the profits. Bar iron may
go up or down dollar ton; he may
be forced by competition to increase
the amount of work done on wagon
for given sum; coal may rise in
price; helpers wages may rise or fall
25 cents on the day. All these things
mean that the blacksmith makes Q
little more or little less lin short

ment is made is in the field Of profits
But If the increase in his expenses OF

It is due this company to say that
no company in the lyceum has had a

Not only is each an artist Of good
deal more than usual ability in her
line of work, but individually and as a
company they give their very best to
every audience. The demand for the
Maude Stevens Company is constant
ly increasing.
Before taking her place at the, head
of of this company, Miss Stevens had
already achieved marked success in
the chautauquas, in her children's
Story Hour, and as director of chill
dren's play. She has to-day few
equals as Impersonator of Boys and
Girls.
Miss Welch studied under Max
TFischel, of Chicago, who recommend
ed her to the Bureau as one of his
''very best pupils" She is an artist
in her part Of the program.
Miss Chamberlin' whistling and
bird warbling are not mere novelty,
nor limited to one or two selections.
She uses her art as the means of ex-
pressing the very best in the world Of
music. Her whistling is a song with
out words, but having all Of a songs

Public Lands Being Settled.

AS an answer to the impression
which seems to exist that all the public
lands of any value have long ago been
taken up, Secretary Lane, in an ad-
vance statement from his annual re-
port, calls attention to the fact that
since March a, 1918, Eettlers have made
entry on nearly 2O,000,0OO acres of
public lands an area equal to that Of
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and New Jersey combined.
During the same period practically as
much more coal and other mineral
land Of the West has been examined
in detail in 4O-acre tracts by the Geo
logical Survey, and most OF ithas been
thrown open to settlement or pur-
chase. Some of these lands, such as
those which include workable deposits
of phosphate or oil, are still with
drawn pending suitable legislation for
their disposal or use. Another inn
portant activity in public-land classi-
acation to which the Secretary calls
attention is the designation of lands
for entry as enlarged" or 320-acre
homesteads. Designations under this
law approved by him cover 32,453,o5
acres.
The extract from the Secretary's re-
port contains series OF maps OF
twelve public-land States showing in
graphic form ~ the areas with
drawn from entry in these States be-
tween March, 1918, and July, 1914, ~
the areas restoredN to entry, (3) the
designations under the enlarged
homestead law, and (4) land taken up
by settlers. Thus, for example, the
map OF Montana shows the total area
for the State, $4,000, 900 acres; lands
Withdrawn for entry, 67,641 acres;
lands restored to entry after examina-
tion, 3,171, ,55S acres; lands designated
under the enlarged ed-homestead law,
| ii, ,O22, 1854 acres; and lands entered by
settlers, 6,417,1 acres. The other
States in which public-land activities
have been large and which are dis
cussed by the Secretary are Utah,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Wash
