Up TO WILSON.

The president having met the parties
10 the threatened strike yesterday,
states that he has gone over the matter
frankly with them and should be able
to judge today whether a feasible
basis for settlement can be found.
Meantime the country is holding its
breath and hoping for compromise
that will avoid widespread disaster 10
the interests Of every man from the
big business man TO the common
laborer.
In the temper of the country over
this threatened industrial war the
president may go as far as he likes
with the assurance Of general ap-
prevail The thought OF a complete
and deliberate tie up Of every line of
universal loss and disarrangement of
private business and employment and
of other public utilities stirs the pub
lie thus affected deeply. Il is convinc-
ed that such a tie-up is not necessary
to reasonable adjustment Of the dis
pute. Railroads and trainmen alike
will find themselves losing long es-
tablished friendships and sympa
thizers. II the railroad interests,
owners and employers desire to line
the public up in its own defence and
against both of them, they can find no
more certain means to accomplish
that event than TO take a public be
damned atti1ure.
SO the country waits in anxiety to
learn what railroad ownership and
trainmen propose and con-
clude to do with the publics rail-
roads; for the real ownership and
control of the transportation lines OF
the country belong TO the public as
much as navigable rivers and private
interests have no more actual right TO
dam the railroads than to dam the

The hobo is a modest member of So
ciety who is too proud to work and too
tired to battle. One Of the most refined
acts of cruelty that can be perpetrated
is 10 lead confirmed hobo up to some
thing that looks like work or shower
bath and watch him faint dead away.
The hobo is usually somebody who
ran away from home In early youth In
order TO escape pailing few cows or
hoeing the potatoes This tendency
could have been removed at the proper
time by love and a careful cowhiding,
but the chances are that the hobo's pa
rents thought they were rearing a piece
of mural decoration instead of a
human derelict. The home where the
children are expected to perform few
acts OF helpful industry once in a while
is a poor recruiting station for the hobo
army.
The hobo goes south in the winter
and fits north in the spring. along with
the legged robin redbreast. I'm
like the robin. however, he does not go
north to work. but to rest. There is
not enough rest being manufactured 3
the present time to satisfy the cravings
of two stout, prohibition hobos. to
say nothing Of those who have been
resting ever since the civil war.
All over the north, in the summer
time, are to be found cosy rest re-
sorts inhabited by able-bodied hobos
who are three-fourths appetite and
one fourth snore Now and then the
hobo will sally forth to the home Of

1Hou to Make a Good Newspaper

Push your advertising. You'll never
get it all-tho it all belongs to YOU
IL you have a real medium. There
should be more rejoicing in the count
ing room over new classified custo-
mer from the outskirts Of your field
than over new display customer in
the next block.
Push your collections firmly and pay
Your own bills promptly. Nothing YOU
can do will make both debtors and
creditors respect you more.
Keep your outfit up to date. Wages
are too high these days to be wasted n
using poor machinery or insufficient
material. A good machine once bought
will last lifetime, but wages must be
paid every Saturday. The composing
room that is kept up all the time will
never necessitate a new dress which
costs lot of money and may prove
less attractive than the old one.
Stick to your own business. One
good healthy newspaper is all the com
munity should hold you responsible for
and it will keep you busy If you run 1t
right. Don't try to be banker, mer-
chant or a traction magnate on the
side. These fellows all have their
eAoUoies'. LOl let lHeIH UNLOAD any
of them on you.
Stand up for your town. 1t may be
filled with mossbacks. back numbers,
and cranks, but they're what you've
got to live and work with so make the
best of them and make them better il
You can. If You can show them that
1t is better town than they thought
that will help to make it SO. A live
newspaper has often restored to life
dead town. A dead newspaper will go
far towards killing a live one.
These injunctions are mostly ma
terial. They look to profit at the end
of the year in the form of money in
the bank. "A good thing to have and a
worthy object to work for But you
have higher duty than to make only
money. You are in position. almost
the only effective position which a
man can occupy, to make better citi-

WAR. TINE ANSWER,

Politics this year and political
elimination and recrimination baci
and forth have brought up q poin
that is one to be well considered by thu
churches and churchmen. The re.
joinder to open Reputation of at leas
one candidate by churches has beer
made thus: Why, if the man is opposed
to the tenets and policies of the
church wherein he holds membership
has he been kept within the fold al
these years? 1t is a fair counter TO
severe body punch. Not that it re-
lieves the blow received by the candi-
date but that it lands one in return.
Leaving the particular case and can
didate out of the discussion, thus
avoiding personalities, there's a ques-
ton to be answered fairly. II man
is unfit for church membership, why
is he kept on the books" Why isn't
he dropped? Mems morals are mainly
in their minds Their attitude on pub
lie and private questions involving
moral issues certainly affect their
church relations as they do their pub
lie ambitions and fitness for public
trust. Surely men whose moral atti-
tude renders them. unfit to be city
commissioners or councilmen, let us
say. are scarcely qualified TO retain
IN ;o yrrh O.
that refuse to trust them elsewhere.
OF course the church is by way OF
refuge and counselor and friend and
men may and do change attitude under
its influence on the liquor question and
other moral questions that affect poll
tics and government; but very prom
inent Methodist preacher in Marshall
town seems TO have stated a fairly
righteous proposition when certain
members of'his church refused to line
up against the saloon few years ago
I'm going to see every one Of them
and pray with them. If that fails. I'm
going TO hold special prayer meetings
with them and for them. After Lao.
I'm going 20 tell them that their room
is better than their company in our
church" The church was practically a
unit. Only six out of perhaps thousand
members stood for the saloon and the
liquor traffic. Some Of those profted
indirectly by it. The minister was
genial company than a church mem
bership that was bending every effort
collectively and individually TO accom-
pl.sh the abolition in their city, Of the
greatest evil affecting their commun-
ity, an enemy 10 the church and a
barrier 10 accomplishment of its re-
ligious purposes. II may be of inter-
est and have some bearing on the
present discussion to know that when
stayed with their church. It meant
more 10 them than the saloon
II is fair question whatever the
motive with which it was asked in
particular case. If the churches have
right to ask questions Of poltcs--as
they undoubtedly have-politics has an
equal right TO ask questions of the
churches. And this question has been
asked many times outside of politics.
What's the answer?
