President Wilson and more than 1000
Southerners of. Washington and vicinity.
in impressive ceremonies at Arlington
Cemetery yesterday, paid tribute to the
men who died for the South during the
civil war. Though the announcement of
his name brought cheers from hundreds.
President Wilson sat merely as one Of
the spectators during the ceremony.
Other prominent persons present were the
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Josephus
Daniels.
Senator James K. Vardaman, Of
Mississippi. the principal speaker, de-
c!ared that while the men who died for
the South were being honored,' the people
present were honoring themselves in pay
Ing tribute. with all the heroism OF
the Confederate man and soldier" he
said. he pales into insignificance In com
parison with the Confederate women"
The speaker portrayed the service of
women rendered the south during the
civil war and declared that the South
would have been compelled TO capitulate
long before it did but for its women. In
travelling about the country" he said, Il
see great many monuments erected to
the men OF this country, but very few
erected to its noble women"
Would Build Monument.
If l could have my way. I would build
a monument that would have the earth
for its base and reach SO high that a
daughter of the South and daughter OF
the North could stand on its tip and talk
into the very ears of God In the hands
or one I would put the nag OF the Stars
and Bars and in the hands of the other
the flag Of Stars and Stripes and let them
wave TO the inspiring tunes of Yankee
Doodle and Dixie"
Senator Vardaman said the Southern
soldier fought to maintain his consti-
tutional right and the Northern SOL
dier the pride of empire.

APoLoG1zlNG FOR MIR. HUGHES.

Apologizing for Mr.. Hughes evas-
ion of all the vital issues of the cam
paign, the Outlook says:
"Those who are asking Mr.. Hughes
to specify exactly what he would
have done had he been in command
at the crucial times during the past
four years are demanding something
more than any human being can
properly answer"
In other words it iS easy to criti-
else but hard to construct, SO con-
structive policies should not be ex-
pected from an opposition candidate.
1t requires ability to say the presi-
dent has been wrong, but it requires
sound craftsmanship to say why he
was wrong and what ought to have
been done, so it is improper to ask
for bill of particulars.
We can conceive of no longer stan
dard of political intelligence than
that which the Outlook presents. II
it means anything, it means that the
logical successor of any president Is
the man who can make the most
noise in assailing that presidents
policies.-New York World.

WILSON'S IDLE MOMENTS.

The president he is a lucky man,
these days. He has nothing to do. "A
few trifles take up few minutes of
his time, but the rest is all his own.
He merely has to keep watch of leg
islation; prod congress; read the re-
ports from the Mexican frontier, and
give the consequent orders; confer
with the members of the cabinet; try
to get competent men to serve on
the joint Mexican commission; make
new complaints to Great Britain and
Germany; talk for an hour to $40
railway leaders in the East Room;
confer with all the railway presi-
dents; keep up with his correspon-
dence; receive delegations; read re-
publican speeches. Time would hang
heavy on his hands were it not for
the presence of a former Judge in the
White House grounds who throws
stones at the windows and cries out
that the man living there is incur
ably inefficient. But for this diver
sion President Wilson might not be
able to resist feeling of ennui.-

THE PRESIDENTS RAILROAD
PROGRAM.

President Wilson'S address to con-
gress. Yesterday consists of a master
" review of events leading up to the
nresent situation in the railroad dis
pute. and suggestions for legislation
which will straighten out the t; ngle
and keep similar complications from
arising in the future. He proposes:
A law establishing the eight
hour day as basis OF work ana
wages for all men operating trains IN
interstate commerce.
The appointment of a committee
to watch the workings OF this plan
and report on the came.
The enlargement and reorganl-
cation of the interstate commerce
commission to handle the new duties
devolving upon it.
"A resolution authorizing that
commission to consider the new
working hours in fixing freight rates.
An amendment to the Newlands
act providing for the public investi-
CATION of all industrial disputes on
interstate carriers before strike or
lockout shall be lawful. In effect,
this is the Canadian plan.
"A law authorizing the president,
in case of military necessity, to take
control Of any part of the railroads
and rolling stock needed for national
defense, and to draft into the mill
tary service of the United States all
workers and administrative ottclals
needed to operate the required
trains.
A far reaching program, but every
part of it is proved necessary by the
present deadlock. The country has
right to protect itself from distress
and disasters which a general rail
road strike will bring; yet 1T finds
itself with no legal means OF en1orc-
ing that right, and one party of the
controversy refuses to grant the con-
cessions which the president, speak
ing for the welfare of 100 100000
people, recommends.
In such a crisis the nation must
either submit to having it's prosperity
wrecked and it's cities starved, or
clothe it's government with power to
compel industrial peace. Congress
will do we'll to curb its fondness for
words, and act; and the strike order
should be Cancelled at once. There ls
no longer any excuse for it.-Chicago
Journal.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-09-07

"Why should Harding write to
Bernard Murphy of the Vinton Eagle,
that he is in favor of road bonds and
then tell other folks that he is not?
These are plain facts, openly and
publicly known by all those informed
on the POLITICAL issues. Being so,
why is it possible for man to cam
paign one way in one locality and an
other way in another locality? Why
is it necessary to drink beer with the
voters of Scott county and then pray
with the prohibitionists in Greene
county? Why, o why?" inquiries the
Jefferson Bee.

Referring to President Wilson's UNI

Referring to President Wilson's UNI
firing efforts to avert countrywide
railway strike, the New York Com
mercial, leading non-partisan finan-
cial paper of national influence, says:
Mr. Wilson is wearing out his heart
and mind trying to avert big indus
trial catastrophe; Mr.. Hughes is out
on the stump hammering at Mr.. Will
son for alleged inefficiency. The vot-
ers mind is really on the railway
strike and not on campaign speeches.
Ii anything, he sympathizes with Mr..
Wilson, who bears the tremendous re-
sponsibilities, while his opponent is
care free"
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-09-07
HIS POSITION MADE CLEAR.

President Wilson's message to con-
gress not only recommends to that
body constructive program of legis-
lation, in view of the threat of gen.
eral railway strike; it also, in it's
statement of facts leading up to the
recommendation, contains his de-
tense against the critics who accuse
him of having abandoned the prin-
ciple of arbitration in recommending
the concession of the principle of an
eight hour day.
The presidents statement of his
position is singularly simple and lu-
cid He declares that he exhausted
every means of arbitration at his
command to secure arbitration of all
the issues involved; that the men
were firm in their refusal; that to
stand for arbitration of everything
and get arbitration of nothing SEEM
ed to him futile; that he had an
eye rather to future industrial dis
putes than to the present merely; and
that by proposing the concession of
the principle of the eight hour day
and the arbitration of everything else
he hoped to secure the greatest pos
sible field for arbitration now, and
then to follow this up by constructive
activities to the end that recurrence
of such situation should be render
ed impossible.
This puts the alternative badly. 1t
was this; arbitration of all demands
except the eight hour day or general
strike without arbitration of any
thing?
The presidents course must be
judged in the light of this alternative
His decision was simply this: that it
was better to secure, at the price of
conceding the eight hour demand, the
arbitration of everything else, and in
so doing avert a general strike and
also secure a clear field for legisla-
ton which would render a general
strike impossible in the future, than
to endure the loss, suffering and dis
organization of strike and fail of
any arbitration at all.
1t is on this decision that he asks
the judgment of the American people.
