If nothing else, the threatened rail
way strike has had one good effect.
1t has caused our people to wake up
and think little about the depend
encc of one class of business on all
others. Ever since the salaried spell
binders of the non-partisan league hit
the state, there has been growing Il
feeling in some quarters that the far
mcrs were dependent on no one, but
the townspeoplc couldn't live without
the farmers" The near approach of
the strike has shown many the fallacy
of such an argument.
In the old days of Indian life, each
man was to some extent independent.
Even in the days before civilization
reached to the American continent,
the Indians had methods of depending
one upon the other. The fundamcnt-
ais of civilization require a highly
complicated machine Of commercial
ism. Each class of business is de-
pendent for its very life on the well
fare of every other. Suppose, for in
stance, that the strike had come and
had stopped all railways from opera
tions. The townspeoplc would have
suffered it is true But how about
the farmers? How much would their
cream be worth? How much the
flax and other grains? What would
be the price of beef and pork? And
they don't raise coal, nor flour. And
so it goes.
Now, instead of only railroads be-
ing out of commission, suppose that
all other industries were to stop. How
much would farm be worth, or how
much could farmer make in year ?
These questions are impcrtincnt. They
show beyond any question of a doubt
that the townspeople, or the people
"in trade" are not paupers existing
only because of the tolerence of the
farming class. Instead, they are far
from it. The man who works behind

1t is whispered that the eight-hour
law is going to prove worth no more
than the paper on which it is written.
Possibly that may explain why some
people were so quick to support it
without any intelligent consideration
of the merits and dement's of the bill.
And possibly that is why the railroad
stockholders are so quiet. The strike
has been preventcd-and the employ
cs have not yet started on their eight
hour days.

Senators and congressman who
worked for the eight-hour law did not
hesitate to admit that they were for it
simply to prevent n strike at any cost,
without regard to the merits of the
bill. And the bill itself is so framed
as to effect only the striking en-
poyes of the railroads. Thousands
of other employees, receiving much less
in salary, didn't have a look-in on the
cight-hour proposition. Nobody
cared to put up with Il strike. No
body would care to get mixed up in n
war, either. But there are some

During the past week the nation has
developments in Washington The
national congress, that is noted for
weeks and weeks Of delay and procras-
tinution in handling matters of lcgis-
lation, suddenly found that the four
officials of the big Four" railway
unions had the drop on them. They
found that they must at once meet
the demands of these men or rail-
way strike wouldc nsuc. In other words,
these august senators and congress-
men woke up to find Il pistol at their
heads and no tenderfoot on the west
ern frontier ever danced more hearth
ly to the music Of n circle Of barking
siX-shooters than did those statesmen
Last week notice was served on the
nation that 100000 railway employees
would walk out on September 4th at
Z n. m. Thursday President Wilson
went before congress with request
for special legislation. Friday the
house passed an cight-hour bill Sat
urday the senate passed the same idcn-
teal bill. Sunday it was signed by
the president. The railway employees
grinned and kept at work. Never in
the history of the nation has COM
parntively small proportion of the
workmen of the nation been able to
so completely handle the government
of this nation.
So far as we are concerned we are
not Interested in whether or not the
employees draw down their $3.50 to $3.50
in eight hours or in ten The partic-
ular squnbblc is of interest only to
the railroad heads and their employees
But the nation is interested in know
ing just how far congress and the
president can be handled. For n good
many years it has been customary to
believe that the trusts and other mon
led interests have used every infu-
encc to control congress and the pres
idency In this instance there is no
question that the railway brother
hoods had their way, without let or
hindrance, simply by their threat of a
strike.
We believe that such affairs as this
will be the ruination of the unions, as
well as of untold detriment to the
nation. 1t will not be long until unions
will be looked upon by the general
public in the same light as capital If
aritration is to be rejected in labor
matters, and unions are to be allowed
any legislation they demand simply
by threatening strike, there is no
limit to the possibilities in the future.
Suppose these same unions make it Il
practice to repeat their tactics every
year or two. What is to prevent them
from forcing their working day down
to five hours and their pay up as high
as they like? All that is necessary
is for congress to meet their demands
and in turn let the railroads boost the
freight and passenger rate. Then, in
the long run, the strike is against the
public and not against the railroads
In kneeling in abject homage to the
railroad men, Wilson and congress have
betrayed the people Of the nation. The
interests Of the public have suffered
that the interests of the railroad en-
ployes might be advanced.
And to show how utterly and com.

Quarantine. and Hog Cholera Control.

Quarantine and Hog Cholera Control
Inspector Koen in his weekly bulletin
discusses cholera control. He "a VS.:
Quarantine measures are absolutely
essential for the control OF n con-
tagious disease. Authorities are co
PEELED to impose quarantine restric-
tons against smallpox. diphtheria and
other conditions that endanger the
public health Likewise the animal
health should be protected against

Notwithstanding the general knowl-
edge thai determines the necessity loI
quarantine, experience has shown ina
1T is seldom popular with those against
whom 1t becomes necessary to impose
it, and stranger than this Is the fact
that often-times the sentiment OF a
Community supports the quarantined
one in his opposition to ii and disre-
spect for II.
"Until communities support the
quarantine measures both by senti-
ment and cooperative effort, contag-
ious diseases continue to rage ana
exact their toll of life and property,
All quarantine measures nave for their
object the control of the infection OF
the particular disease against which
the fight is being directed. and include
the proper care of the infected ami
mails and the proper disposition of the
dead ones that the disease may not be
transferred to other premises.
There are two kinds Of quarantine
voluntary and involuntary.
1.-THE voluntary quarantine is one
that is self imposed. The owner oil
the infected herd isolates his sick hogs
and confines them to limited quarters
under cover. He cleans and disinfects
his premises that the danger to his
neighbor may be removed. He warns
his neighbors and 'placards his infected
hog yards. He keeps his dog at home

That is all there is to quarantine
protection. When this is understood
it should make quarantine popular.
THE involuntary quarantine is the
one the state must impose against the

Select Seed Corn Now.

Editor Times Republican; We have
been in Iowa ffty-two years, right mere
in Marshall and Grundy counties. ana
never before have we seen corn in bet
ter shape to pick for seed than right
now. The ears are fine and the husks
appear to be very thin on the ear.
Owing to the fact hat the corn has
but little protection from frost and
freeze is the reason farmers hould get
busy with their seed corn.
The farmers. and everybody from
Beaman and Conrad pronounce the
Marshall county fair a great success.
Little Grundy is now assured of a
splendid corn crop. Yours truly, John
Clemens, Conrad. Iowa.
