His lips were sealed during the days
when the Eight Hour bill was before
Congress. As.leader of his party he
sent me word to Republican senators
and representative asking them to
vote against the measure, though
fflfbuster could have depleted it. But
before the ink was dry. on the Presi-

denunciation. Even so, he does not

Never was the issue so clear-cut
between courage and coWardice, be-

performance and protestation. On the
one hand stands President who has
given peace with honor, preparedness
without militarism and prosperity
with justice. On the other stands
candidate without an issue, without
a principle. without policy.

bill because:
% There is no solid labor vote.
Men who labor differ just as widely
in their political opinions as any other
class of men, so there is no solid labor
vote.
~ In the railway affair Mr.. Wilson
did nothing whatever to shorten the
working day of railway employees.
even the small percentage in the Rail
way Brotherhoods. He merely secured
for the Brotherhood men an increase
of pay, estimated at from 20 to 25
per cent. For the great mass of rail
way employees he secured nothing what
ever.
(3) By surrendering the principle
or arbitration, Mr.. Wilson established
q precedent which is more than likely
to work great injury to hundreds of
thousands Of union men whose organi-
cations are not sufficiently powerful
to win simply by strikes, although
they have IN the past and would have
continued to win justice, or a measure
Of justice, by arbitration. Every labor
man knows that most Of that which
has been won, both as to better pay
and improved conditions, has been
won by enlisjing the support of public
opinion and then procuring an arbitra-
tion which resulted in an award which,
if it did not them full justice, at least
made progress in that direction.
When Mr.. Wilson discarded the ar
bitration method Of determining wheth
er the Brotherhood men were entitled
to more pay, he paved the way for
employers all over the country to dis
card it; and many able labor men be-
lieve that, regardless of the immediate
benefit to the Brotherhoods, organized
labor will suffer in the long run from
the Presidents course.
Finally, by leading Congress to fix
a specific wage increase for the Bro
therhood men, Mr.. Wilson has paved
the way for Congress to fix by law
the wages of all workers for common
carriers with the inevitable accom-
paniment Of compulsory service.
The anser to the second is that there
is grave question whether organized
labor as whole has anything to be
grateful to Mr. Wilson for.

FIRM STARTS
FROG FARM

Beloit, Wis, Oct. ia frog farm
has been started near here by a Chi
cago commission firm for the purpose
OF raising a big enough supply of the
four legged hoppers to supply the
country.
John J. Burns, who with his brother
controls the commission company, has
leased thirty acres. His company is
the largest dealing in frogs in the
country. A tank, 16 feet by AZ feet,
and feet deep, with a capacity for
100000 frogs, has been made and a
building in which the farm manager
will live has been almost completed.
Frogs will be stored in the tank await
ing market, and experiments will be
made in breeding. Already Burns has
received several orders, one of them
for 500 dozen pairs of the delicious
frogs legs.
When Owen Wister, author of the
Virginian, told long yarn in the story
about frog farm to fool a four
flushing rival, perhaps the novelist
never anticipated that just such
farm decade after the publishing of
the book would be started in Wiscon-
sin.

CHECKS FOR
LESS Than
DOLL.lAERG]()[)

A false report was circulated some
time ago. through an evening paper
that checks made out for less than a
dollar were unlawful.
This is not true as the opinion given
to Attorney Charles E. Briere by the
Treasury Department at Washing
ton, D. c., that section ITS of the Fed
Grad Criminal code does not apply to
checks for less than one dollar when
issued in the ordinary course of bust
ness.
This. means that persons having ac-
counts with a bank may issue checks
for less than a dollar and there is no
criminal action in the matter.

A DISCUSSION Of
HUGHES manner:
Of CAMP AIGNING
BY GEORGE CREEL

written for the Democratic National
Committed =.
Woodrow Wilson stands for courage
and achievement; Charles E. Hughes
stands for evasion and criticism :
No citizen is in doubt as to the
Presidents position on all the great
questions of the day. What he has
done is matter of record; what he
intends to do is set forth in simple,
understandable English. What citi-
zen is able to say what Mr.. Hughes
would have done or what he will do?
He quarrels meanly and persistently
with every one of the great laws that
Woodrow Wilson has driven through.
Currency and tariff legislation, income
and inheritance taxes, workmen's com
pensation, shipping bill, rural credits,
trade commission, and even the child
labor law have been made the targets
of his peevishness, but not once has
