David Lloyd George is one of the
very few British statesmen who has
risen to the very top of the ladder by
sheer work, win and independence.
He has always stood pat by his own
convictions and even King George
could not bulge him. His rise from
very small sort of lawyer in
Wales TO the premiership is simply
marvellous.

Convict Labor PIanks

"A plank I'm the Democratic state
platform declares the present system
OF leasing the labor OF convicts TO con.
tractors to be unfair to free labor and
business, and unfavorable to the ply
sical well being and moral regenera-
tion or the prisoners. The platform
fayors the use of such labor so far as
may be practicable "in the production
or road material. and in pulveriZing
limestone for use on soil, az is now
being done In the great states of Illi-
nois. and Virginia" The Republican
platform makes the claim that law
passed by the Legislature OF 1913 pro-
vides for the reforms which the Demo-
cratic platform advocates, and de-
clares that the Democratic party is
-four years behind the times"
The author OF the convict labor
plank in the Parkorsburg platform,
Hon. John B. Finley, who is the Dem
! ocratic nominee for commissioner OF
| agriculture, exposes the absurdity of
! this reckless Republican claim, which
Is based on an act authorizing the en-
ployment Of conyictB by che various
counties In the construction OF high
ways. There is nothing I'm the act
which authorizes such use of the labor
OF convicts as Is proposed in the Dem
ocratic platform. The aot does not
mention orushers for road material.
and granting that IL might be stretched
to permit pulverlzing limestone for
other purposes, Mr.. Finley shows that
tfcre is no authority under IL to sell
. such material TO individuals. II was
hts purpose TO authorize the sale of
crushed limestone at cost to the far
mcrs. for use on their acid soils, as is
now done in several states.
IS TO the charge that the Democratic
party Is behind the times. Mr.. Finley
points out that the first declaration
against the present prison labor con-
tract system was embodied In the
Democratic platform Of 1898 And
even granting for argument sake that
The act Of 1919 covers all that the Re-
publican platform claims for Il, Mr..
Finley argues that, measured by re-
suits. the law might as well not be

done Is concerned Register.

The Happy Medium

Does the Country Want a StrIkci

During the Cleveland administra.
ton this country experienced one OF
the most disastrous railroad strikes
! In It's history. The administration
made no attempt to avert that labor
war. II waited until property and
lives hai been destroyed and then in
tervcncd with armed force to restore
order.
That is one way OF dealing with a
strike. Az that time Il was the nc
cepted way. The popular theory was
That strike was no concern of gov
ornment until there had been an overt
violation OF law.
Mr.. Cleveland was highly and Justly
praised for tho strong measures that
he took to suppress violence; yet the
social and political consequences of
the strike were even more serious than
the economic consequences. The
amazing thing is that MIR. Clevolani's
example should be held up to MIR. Will
son as something to emulate.
During the Roosevelt administration
the country had another labor war I'm
tho coal fields. After the strike had
lasted fve months. with the attendant
destruction of life and property, Mr..
Roosevelt intervened and forced arbi-
tration. for which he deserved the
highest praise.
That Is another way OF dealing with
n strike. President Roosevelt was
damned by Wall Street for his med
ding with all the vehemence that IL
now directed TO the damnlng OF Pres
ident Wilson. yet he did nothing until
the situation had become intolerable.
Mr.. Wilson is not dealing with a
state OF affairs similar to the railroad
strike OF the Cleveland administration
or the coal strike OF the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. He is trying to prsyent
strike. not to settle n strike. In or
der to prevent a strike he must find
some basis OF conciliatlon which both
sides will accept.
He has no power to tell the railroad
unions that they must submit to arbi-
tration and that their men must not
strike. They know and he knows that
II they wish to strike, no President
and no law can stop them. In the
event OF a strike, Mr.. Wilson can use
federal troops TO maintain order and
restrain interference with the United
States malls. but beyond that he can
not go.
III he were to follow Mr.. Cleveland's
he would do nothing until n
strike had taken place and ell the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try were paralyzed and the inhabi-
tants Of great cities like New York
were starving. Then he would protect
physical property against violence.
IL he were to follow Mr.. Roosevelt's
example he would let the strike run
until the results had become 80 ap-
palling that neither side could longer
refuse mediation. Then he would act
Is that what the country wants? If
It is, the way to get II is to continue
10 assail the President for his efforts
TO avert strike and to denounce him
for the methods which he has adopted.
The American people can have a rail-
road strike II they want 1t. The un-
ions are ready. The railroad man
ayers are apparently ready The on
ly man who is honestly seeking to pre-
vent It is the President of the United
States, and he is being denounced like
