GRAND OVATION
Appeared on Streets This Evening in a
Drill-Band ayed--Judge palda
Made ROusing Address

The members Of Co. d gave a pleas
ing drill on the streets this evening in
front of the Lyceum theater. The Nj

Judge Palda gave short address.
He said that the boys were going to
far-away Mexico, some of them per-

we're heroes going to defend the flag
that an inferior race spat upon. They
were going not for pleasure, but to dig
trenches or march in the hot sun all
day long and do mental things that we
who remain behind may enjoy the lux
uries of free country. He gave the
young men some good advice, telling
them not to do thing that might
bring disgrace on our flag. He told
them to fight like men. He appealed
to the citizens to contribute to the Ly-
ceum Benefit fund, giving just what
they felt able to give. At the conclus-
ion Of his talk, he proposed three
cheers for Co. D, which were given
listily. A large crowd attended the
performance, several giving checks of
$40 each, and a number threw $500
bills.
This is a part of fund which is be-
ing raised by the citizens of Minot in
various ways. A committee composed
of F. B. Lambert, E. S. Person and
Halvor L. Halvorson made the rounds
today and gathered several hundred
dollars among the business men. The
fund will be used to promote social
welfare Of the company, to equip a H.
brary, to buy monographs and rec

NEX|CANS KILL II
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
In Fighting 80 Miles South of Eel Paso,
Tex, Carranza Troops Turn Ma
chine Gun on u. S. Troops

A report from Ell Paso, Tex, this
morning says that in severe fighting
which occurred 90 miles south Of Ell
Paso yesterday afternoon, Carranza
troops fired on our soldiers with ma
chine gun, killing at least II Of the u.
S. soldiers. A number of our men, re-
ported to be seventeen, were captured
and taken to Mexican prison. Our
own soldiers killed and wounded a
number of Mexican soldiers, including
their leading general, Gomez.
A scouting party from Pershing's
line Of support journeyed over to the
San Domingo ranch where General
Gomez had his base. 1t is reported
that Gomez sent courier to our boys
asking for a parley under flag Of
truce and that he trained a machine
gun on US, inhicting heavy damage to
our cavlrymen, who then made a run
for the Mexicans, one of the U. S. SOL
der killing General Gomez with pis-
toll. Mexico claims that the fighting
was started by our men but the story
is not generally believed as another
report has it that the Mexican SOL
diers were hiding in ambush.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RAIIRoADER ON ADAMsoN LAW
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Am railroad employe. not directly
anected by President Wilson's eight
hour law, but interested in its ap-
plication, insofar as 1t concerns my
fellow employees. Am greatly in favor
of the eight-hour hour principle, not
only for railroad employees, but for all
classes of labor, and believe that the
day is rapidly approaching when eight
hours will be the standard everywhere
For this reason, President Wilson's ac-
tion in forcing Congress to pass an
eight-hour law for railroad employees
actually engaged in transportation
ton. The method of forcing the bill
through Congress is another matter.
My objection to the bill Is that IL af-
fects only small portion of the men
engaged in railroad service, eighteen
per cent to be exact. The other
eighty-two per cent. will continue to
work ten and twelve-hours per day,
at a much smaller average wage than
the eighteen per cent. actually en-
gagged In the operation or trains. The
eighty-two per cent. however, can live
In hopes that, In the event of Will
sons election, another emergency win
arise, which will give them eight
hours, rather remote possibility.
Justice Hughes places himself on
record as favoring an eight-hour law
for all classes of labor. instead OF
certain bodies, so strongly organized
as to be able to WELD "big stick" to
get what they want. The writer feels
safe in asserting that majority of
the railroads are heartily in favor of
the eight-hour law. At least the east
ern roads are, and have placed them
selves on record to this effect. What
they do object to, and what was the
primary motive in the brotherhoods'
demand Is paying at the rate of ten
hours per day. for eight hours work.
As an individual, I would like to make
the prophecy that this is the rock the
brotherhoods will run up against,
after January 1. The railroad execu-
tives will contest the wage feature of
the eight-hour law, and insist on pay
ing eight hours pay for eight hours
work. However by that time, Wilson
will either be elected or defeated, and
enough then, to handle his make
shift" eight-hour law. He will at
least have secured his reelection. In
case he is defeated. Let Hughes do
It, 1t looks to me, although l do not
claim to have any definite knowledge
on the subject, that the whole thing,
from beginning to end. was a bid for
the brotherhood vote. I do know, for
a fact. that strenuous effort is be-
ing made, by the Democrats, to cap
ture the brotherhood vote. On the
last registration day, typewritten
sheets, containing the names OF every
railroad man engaged in the trans
portation service. were placed in the
hands of the different Democratic
registrars and committeeman, with
the instructions to see that each name
on the list was looked after. They
seemed to take 1t as a foregone con-
clusion, that the brotherhood vote
was In their pockets.
This may be true, but as a railroad
man, coming into contact with
large number of railroad men, have
an idea that the Democrats are In

OUR BUSIEST HOLIDAY sEAsO

OUR BUSIEST HOLIDAY SEASON
OUTLOOK is bright for the busiest
~ holiday season Harrisburg store
keepers have ever known. Work
is so plentiful that laborers are at a
premium. Wages were never better
and if living costs are higher. at all
events the people have the wherewith
to meet them, which is considerably
better than low prices and no work.
1t used to be that Harrisburg peo-
pie spent much of their holiday
money in the larger cities. In recent
years this has changed gradually until
the local merchant has been encour-
aged to enlarge and diversity his stock
to please the most exacting. The way
to make Harrisburg stores bigger and
better is to keep the money circulating
at home. Every dollar spent in other
cities robs the local community of
just that much. II we spend a dollar
in Philadelphia we have the goods
and Philadelphia has the money, but
If we spend it at home we have both
the goods and the money. to para
phrase President Lincoln's oftquoted
views on the wisdom of protective
tariff. And the more money there is
in Harrisburg, the better 1t is for the
wage-earner as well as the business
man.

Our River Front Steps
rStar-Independent.1

ldT-lnuepenOent.J
We do not know who is responsible
for the unclean and untidy appearance
of the cement approach to the river
bank, jocularly alluded to as "the
front steps of Harrisburg" but we
contend that 1t should be the duty of
somebody to have them cleaned and
see that they are kept clean. Visi-
tors to Harrisburg during the present
pleasant October days, who are at
tracted by the beauties along the river
bank, with the plateau for O. footpath,
cannot be enamored over affairs, be-
cause OF the dirty pathway over which
tney must tread. In some places tho
mud and gravel washed from the une
protected bank have spread out on
the concrete walk until debris to the
thickness OF several inches must be
waded by pedestrians.
lt is said that some of the city au-
thorities, when their attention was
called to conditions, endeavored to Sc
cure hose from one of the city fire
houses to use for conveying water to
clean the steps," but the city official
in charge of the fire hose declined to
permit its use for that purpose. This
Is to be deplored. The property of the
city is common property, and 1t ought
to be used whenever it can be of use,
no matter for what purpose.
II the city can use anything in it's
possession to clean the concrete es-
planade, then 1t ought to do so, and
at once, for conditions along the River
front, as far as cleanliness and neat
ness are concerned, are not very love-
ly. We are having all sorts of days for
Harrisburg, therefore would It be in
order to suggest a Cleanup" Day
Tor the front SteDs?"

Hughes on Woman Suffrage

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
candidate for President has written
an article for the November Woman's
Home Companion in which he says:
In my trips across the continent
nothing was more clearly manifested
than the intense Interest of women in
the political questions of the day.
This was shown not only in the great
assemblies of women which had the
privilege of addressing, but in what
was said to me by thousands in num-
erous receptions. The women of this
country are alert and more active
politically than ever before in our
history.
There is, of course, particular in
terest in the question of suffrage.
Women In the so-called suffrage States
are not only intent upon the exercise
of the rights accorded them but are
deeply solicitous for the enfranchise-
ment of their sisters in other States,
while the general movement for wom-
an suffrage shows determination
and strength of organized effort
which leave no doubt as to the result.
The Republican platform refers to the
extension of suffrage to women as a
measure of justice to one-half the
adult people of the country That
presents the conviction which supplies
the driving force of this movement
and will insure its success.
II have long been of the opinion
that opposition to this movement Is a
serious mistake. 1t seems to me obvi-
GUS, from>a consideration of economic
conditions, of the part that women are
taking In our economic development,
and of the strength of the demand,
that opposition cannot defeat but can
only delay the granting of the vote to
women. That delay, however, will
carry heavy penalty. 1t will in
evitably produce an agitation, con-
stantly growing In intensity, to the
subversion of normal political issues,
1t will unquestionably tend to intensity
a distinctly feminist agitation and sex
antagonism."
