"The at issue is prominently one that
comes in the category of those that be settled
only after careful investigation and full considera-
ton Of many important conflicting elements
The question at issue not that of an eight
hour day at all. The question was whether the
President and Congress should enact law with
out investigation and without knowledge to give
increased wages to certain portion Of the body
OF wage earners. The labor leaders this issue,
without regard to the right wrong of the mat
ter, first coerced the President, and then with his
aid coerced Congress. The question at issue was
not one of the hours of labor. 1t was one of
wages. And it was settled by the President and
Congress without investig cation ana without
knowledge. The settlement was due partly to
fear and partly to hope of political profit

For justice in dealing with capital and labor
President Wilson has substituted the policy Of
craven surrender to whichever side the SUI
periOrity in brute force. Once more in our inter-
nal affairs, in external affairs, he has stood
for peace at any price. He refuses to look ahead.
He shows not one shred of that stern and unyield-
ing courage which enables a leader to face tenn
porary risk, discomfort and hardship for the sake
of a lofty ideal and splendid ultimate triumph.
He was coWed by the big labor leaders exactly as
he had already been coWed by Germany and Mex

situation when he said 1t must never be allowed
again. President Wilson the guardian of

Treasure Hunter Says Tip" 10 Right
and Keeps on Digging.

and Keeps on Digging.
Shreveport, La.-Haying discovered
evidence Of what he believes is buried
treasure or a gold mine on a piece OF
ground on Fairfield avenue and owned
by Or. J. NJ Comegys In the most ex-
elusive residence district Of the city, a
Shreveport contractor named Farmer
spent all day and part Of a night dig
ging ia the plot for hidden wealth.
Farmer claims he was led TO the spot
BY divining rod. and he further main
tains that his diyining rod hasn't play
ed him false because 1t leads him to
the exact spot every time he moves.
Farmer, with the assistance OF three
negro helpers, labored far into the
nigh; in search of the treasure or mine
or whatever 1t is. and spadeful after
spadeful Of dirt had been removed
without results Late bulletins from
the scene indicated that no treasure
had been disclosed as yet. though the
hule measured four feet deep and az
many feet In width when the search
was concluded temporarily.
Shreveport is too far inland to have
been the haunt Of Captain Kidd or any
other Of our well known pirates. and
the next best guess Is that II is gold
mine. Farmer won't quit until he Is
either convinced to his own satisfac.
ton that his divining rod has pulled a
bone" or that there Is really a treasure

that q horse on q good macadam road
can do from three to FIVE times as
much work In q day as on q moderate
ly muddy earth road.
One or two instances will show what
this means In actual practice. Some
years ago q farmer In Sullivan county,
Tenn, had to haul barbed wire q dis
lance Of twenty-three miles. The most
his two horse team could manage was
load Of 500 pounds, aud three days
were necessary to make the round trip.
The road has since been improved. and
the same team now draws Q ton with
out difficulty and makes the round trip
In two days. Estimating the time Of q
man and team to be worth s. q day,
under the old conditions 1t cost 500 to
haul ton OF the barbed wire. The
same amount Of wire can now be haul
ed the same distance at q cost OF 50
In estimating the cost of hauling road
engineers usually adopt as the unit the
ton mile-that is to say, the cost Of
hauling one ton one mile. In the case
described the cost per ton mile under
the old conditions was $1.56 and under
the new $O.26.
Another significant instance Is re-
ported from Crosby. Tex. For q mile
out Of town there was an excellent
road which terminated, however, In q
stretch Of unimproyed highway. A
| farmer who lived four miles out Of
town drove team Of two mules to the
railroad station to get two tons Of wire
fencing. This he was able to haul
without difficulty to the end Of the
she'll road. There, however, he had to
throw OF 5000 pounds Of wire and
hitch up two more mules to his wagon
In order to haul the remaining 1000
pounds of wire over the unimproved
road to his farm. In order to carry all
the wire he had to make three more
trips. Altogether to transport this wire
the four miles from the station to his
house took him from 10 O'Clock one
morning until IL o'clock the next morn
ing. IL the shell road had extended as
FAR as his house he could have hauled
With two mules instead Of four the two
ons Of wire In two and one-half hours.
Because the farmer usually does his
hauling himself and therefore does not
have to pay cash wages for the time
wasted on bad roads the expensive.
ness Of the operation is not so obvious
20 him as 1t might be- There are times
however, when the loss that results
from poor means Of communication
cannot be ignored. Sullivan county
Tenn. affords another instance Of this
farmer there some years ago had lOC
bushels Of irish potatoes, which he In
tended to market In Bristol during the
winter. On account Of the condition
Of the roads, however, he put of goinl
to town and stored the potatoes in thu
ellar. In the meantime the price OF
potatoes at Bristol rose as high a.

remained impossible and before tn,
farmer could get his stock to make
he found that 1t had all rotted in tn.

In England there have been many
amusing taxes and more amusing eva
sions. At one time the horse was sim
gled out as peculiar victim, and the
farmer evaded the obligation by riding
bis COW to market or by harnessing his
wife to the cart alongside OF big dog
to drag the produce to town. The tai
on chimneys resulted In the destruction
OF many fine old tireplaces, and the tax
on windows had the effect Of making
the houses look as II they had been
boarded up and deserted. 1t also i'm
