PORK" AT WHOLESALE ONLY

The following quotation is from
Mr.. Hughes speech at Chicago:
Il don't care, If l am elected Pres
ldent, what becomes of my personal
political fortunes. / propose that we
shall have government in business
like way. We won't have any more,
# | can stop it, of these kiss me and
III kiss you appropriations in Con-
gress."
Now this is some promise. Is he
going to reform and cease to look af-
ter his personal political fortunes?
Who has surpassed him in looking af
ter his personal political fortunes"
in the past?
Il don't want any hot air in mine. I"
Who has ever made hotter speeches :?
Il propose that we shall stop this
pork business" and yet his policy
means more pork" for munition man
ufacturers than they have ever had
before, more pork for the railroads,
more pork for the shipping trust,
more pork for the industrial trusts,
more pork for the tariff barons, more
pork for the exploiters in Latin Amer

NOW THOSE WEEDS!

Have you moved those weeds Then
your farm is worth more and you are
a better neighbor and better citizen
than if you hadn't. Everyone thinks
more of the farmer and farm if he
sees the weeds neatly moved as he
dives along a neatly dragged road.
AS he passes the end of line fence
he sees a fence row, not weed row.
and the same is true of the cross
fence.
Does this describe your farm? Then
rabbit shooting may not be so good
on it next winter but buyers will Of
fer you more an acre on it because
they know it will take less work to
make crops ON it for a number of
years than il all that weed seed had
not been harvested II you still have
that weed crop to harvest, you will
have to hurry Weed seed is getting
nearer ripe every day. The hot dry
weather has hurried ripening instead
Of belating IL. Bur pulling time is
coming ard the horse weeds in the
fence rows are getting harder for the
mower or scythe to handle, but there
is some consolation in the thought
that there is still time to do great
deal of good and that too early NOW

1t is fundamental to the policy of
this government that if business will
let politics alone government will let
business alone. Any conflict that APP
pears in Washington can invariably
be traced to the fact that business
won't let politics alone. AS long as
it happens business won't be let alone
because letting it alone means that
it will control politics and therefore
government. This is an issue every
serious minded voter should study
carefully before he votes the Repub-
lican ticket and thereby puts business
again in the saddle.-Commoner.

DARING AvIATRIX TELLS
OF HER EXPLOITS IN AIR

Miss Katherine Stinson, the worlds
champion woman aviator and the first
woman in the world to loop the loop
in an aeroplane and who has been Sc
cured to give exhibitions Of her skill
and daring at the Missouri State Fair
at Sedalia, had an entire page in a
recent issue of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, telling of her experiences
in the dangerous field of aviation.
This little girl, for she is only 10,
who has made thousands of grown
men shudder as she does her death
defying aerial stunt, said that she was
not afraid of mice but that common
green snakes made her shrek with
terror. And these are the kind Of
snakes that the farmer boys treat al
most as fishing worms. This is one
Of the only two things that she fears.
The other, she said, is when she points
the nose of her biplane straight up,
with the solid earth thousands Of feet
below. Then she is afraid that her
engine will ego dead" and she will
not be able to point il downward
quick enough.
When asked why she did not give
mp aviation if looping the loop fright
ened her, she replied that she realized
all Of the dangers but that flying was
business with her. In discussing
her fellow aviators, many of whom
came to tragic ends, her manner was
such as if these matters were of no
personal interest to her She also
predicted great development for avia-
ton in the next few years.
Miss Stinson will be but one Of the
hundreds Of features that make this
great State Fair one of education and
pleasure for Missourians.

LIFE is A FUNNY PRO-
POSITION AFTER ALL

Man came into this world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will. During his stay on earth his life
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and misunderstanding In
his infancy he is an angel; in his boy
hood he is a devil; in his manhood he
is everything from lizard up; in his
duties he's fool; if he has no fam
lily he is committing race suicide; if
he raises a family he's chump; if
he raises a check he is a thief, and
then the law raises cain with him; if
he is poor man he is a poor manager
and has no sense; if he is rich he is
dishonest, but considered smart; if
he is in politics he is CRATER and u
crook; if he is out of politics you can't
place him. as he is can undesirable
citizen;" if he goes to church he is a
hypocrite; if he stays away from
church he is sinner; if he donates
to foreign missions he does it for
show; if he doesn't he is stingy and
eight wad." When he first comes in
to the world everybody wants to kiss
him; before he goes out they want to
kick him. If he dies young there was
a great fortune before him; if he
lives to ripe old age he is in the way,
only living to save funeral expenses.

WHY WE LOVE
THE SCOTCH SONGS

1t is claimed that Americans are
more Scotch than English, and that
in language and habits the lowland
Scotch themselves are more English
than the English. 1t is along the
Scotch border that the original Ang-
lc-Saxon survived longest, and it is
still there that the most striking
traces Of him are TO be found, unless
VIC are to except the mountains of
Kentucky and Tennessee and the
Ozark region Of Missouri. Most
Americans who call themselves Anglo
Saxons have a great deal Of lowland
Scot blood in them.

THE TRAINMEN's SIDE
IN a NUT SHELL

I
In publication issued by the
Transportation Brotherhoods from
their Cleveland office, appears the
following digest of the hainmen's
side Of the big question now up for
settlement;
Railroad officials lay much stress
on the statement, that "18 per cent Of
all railroad employees now receive %
per- cent Of the total wages paid
"This claim means nothing what
ever, because it fails to take into con-
sideration the years Of preparation
for the job and the fact that the line
between life and death is so thin that
when train employee leaves on his
run no is never sure when he will re-
turn.
"The last annual report Of the in
terstate commerce commission shows
that trainman is killed on an ay-
erage Of every hour and 40 minutes,
and a man crippled every minutes
ard 80 seconds. And this does not
tell all the story, because If a man
does not die from his injuries within
"a hours he is not reported to the
commission as killed, and unless the
injury disables him for three days he
is not counted as injured.
"Out OF every 100 men who start
work as iiremen, only II ever become
engineers; out of every 100 men who
do become engineers only six become
passenger engineers.
"The average lengths Of service is
eleven and a half years.
Train service employees are picked
men in every sense of the word.
"Few realize the rigid physical ex-
animation they are required to pass
and which is more severe than the
United States government requires
for elistment in the army or navy
Physical examinations are repeat
ed every two or three years.
"Eyesight, hearing, color percep-
ton, heart action and blood pressure
are all scrutinized closely.
Although the United States goY
eminent prohibits by law the eoatinu-
Gus employment If train employee
niore than IL hours. it is worthy of
note that in 1915 there were 7S,o40l
violations reported by the railroads
themselves.
Under the rates of pay now reeeiv-
cd by the men, they must work from
II to 20 hours in order to earn enough
to be on par with the wage earners
in other trades.
what a man receives per hour is
the only proper basis for discussing
wages The following table shows
the prevailing wages received per
hour by freight crews, as compared
to other organized trades:
Locomotive engineers. .4816c
Bricklayers, plasterers, etc. 75c |
Locomotive tiremen .31c |
Carpenters, painters, etc. ...... zoe |
Freight conductors ...........4 0c |
Laborers in tunnels, wells, etc 57hc
Freight brakomen .267c |
Excavating laborers .......... doc |
"Are these high wages when You
consider the responsibility and skill
required of freight trainmen?
Excessive hours and the terrific |
strain skaters the health and short
ems the lives of these men.
"fhe employees are not asking for
more pay, only that their working
hours be made less.
They desire relief from the present |
arduous working conditions so that
their time at home will be heightened |
and their chance CT relaxation i'm

of millions by congress must follow, or falling,
will make the consumation of the plans impossible.
The carrying out of the plans will require not less than
thirty millions of dollars and probably more. The buying
of the American Falls townsite, the duplication of the
buildings, the change of the railroad necessary will reach
no small figures alone. What viii be done is of course,
~problematical. 1t is known that eminent engineers of the
reclamation service as well as eminent engineers employed
by the great Carey Act companies, have recommended the
building of the dam, and on the site selected by the Miner
people, just below the wagon bridge and just above the
falls. If the reclamation service approves the project, and
congress makes the necessary appropriation, great bene-
fits will not only come to American Falls, but to all of
Southern Idaho as well. The building Of the dam will re-
cry local business interest would be benefited. Let us all
hope that it is not a false alarm and that there be no un-
necessary delay in making the plans public, in putting the
money behind the project necessary to complete it, and
that the first steps taken be to protect the rights and in
terests Of local property owners and let them at once be-
gin the making of permanent improvements on a new
TOWNSHIP.
