The Democratic idea apparently is
to keep reiterating a thing in the
hope that the people will finally come
to believe it Thus, in 1912. their plat
form declared that its promises were
made to be kept when in Office; and in
that same year Mr.. Wilson said that
his party promises were not molasses
to catch flies. This year he returns to
the same text and in his speech of ac-
ceptance ne says that the people do
not need to be assured that the Dem
ocratic platform is a definite pledge
and a practical programme. With con
scious or unconscious irony he adds !:
ave have proved to them that our

coming from a man who was accept
ing a second nomination when his
earle platform pledged him to the
principle of single term, is rich.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT?

Farmers and manufacturers of Is
abella county, suppose congress should
pass law that YOU should pay your
men as much for eight hours work as
you are paying them for nine, ten or
twelve and that all time over eight
hours which they put in be paid for at
the same rate, what would you think
OF it? But this is just exactly what
congress has done, at the command of
President Wilson. And every cent of
this increase Of S60,000,000 in the
operating expenses of the railroads
will come back onto you the farmers,
manufacturers and workmen in every
other line. We are not sympathizing
with the railroads. 1t is rank IN
Justice TO pass such law, but in the
end it will be the farmers, manufact-
urers and laborers in all other lines
who will suffer They will pay it in
Increased freight rates, and passen-
ger rates, and still further advance
in the cost of living.
Nor is this the most dangerous part
of it. If congress can pay to the rail-
ROADS WHAT wages NHtg 4' CA'i pay
why can not congress usurp the rights
of any employer anywhere. 1t is only
a step. Is this law based on inter-
state commerce? Yes, it pretends to
be. but it is stretching the constitu-
ton good ways TO step across the
state border and come into your home
o, your shop and say hereafter you
shall not have the right to agree with
anybody as to what wages they shall
receive. This is not an hour law be-
cause il is not expected to limit hours
of service II is a wage law pure and
simple.
Then, too, it secures nothing. If
the supreme court finds the law un-
constitutional, what will be the result

Democratic debaters who discussed
the eight-hour bill in congress took
great pains to absolve the labor lead
ers from the charge MAT they had
compelled congress to deal with the
problem. II was the president, they
averred, who brought the matter to
Capitol hill In this day they were
right. The president took the prob
lem out of the hands of the men and
the managers when they were nego-
tiating and before the federal board
of mediation and Cancellation had de-
termined that they were powerless
When he found that he could not
settle it, he dumped the thing into the
lap of congress. 1t was the president
who put the shameful necessity upon
congress Of yielding to dictation.
