to the railway brotherhoods in the
matter Of their wages.
There is no controversy at present
on the abstract proposition of the
eight-hour day. It has much TO com
mend il, both for the employer and
the employed. The nationwide criti-
cism of the President and Congress
cannot truthfully be twisted to ap-
pear as antagonism to the principle
of the eight-hOur day, as is being at
tempted by the Democrats. Il Is quite
probable that the application of the
principle to the railroads of the coun-
try will be met by insuperable OBJ
stacles, but it is highly significant
that the Adamson bill, differing from
all previous legislation-State and ma
tion-designed to establish the eight
hour work ny day, contains not one
provision declaring that men employ
ed on the railroads IN interstate COM
merce shall be employed for eight
hours q day and no longer. IL does
take the eight-hour day as a basis for
wages. but that Is all it does. And
careful analysis of the measure indi-
Gates pretty clearly that the railway
men at whose demand it was enacted
are going 10 find that they have Gre
atel a Frankenstein from whom they
will escape with difficulty.
Mr.. Ford is to be commended for
making the eight-hour day effective in
his own factories. but there is nothing
there to prevent II is a very different

Editorial Opinion
DEMOCRATIC TARIFF AND
DEMOCRATIC BREAD LINE

From the New York Sun.
In the opinion of Humanity's Friend
"all you have got to do, il you want
to know the lines of the future pol
icy of the Democratic party, is to ex-
tend the lines of the past policy Of
the Democratic party and you will
have an absolute standard"
Precisely. Apply the free breal,
free soup lines to the first nine
months Of 1914 after the enactment
of the Underwood Democratic tariff,
and there you are. AS one extended
so did the other. The Democratic
tariff policy line and the Democratic
soup and bread line are paired in a
dark and deadly parallel.
Surely the workngmen have not
so soon forgotten the good old times
Of the winter, spring and early sum-
mer Of 1914, those careless, happy
days when tens of thousands OF them
were walking the city streets and
Flooding the country highways with
nothing to do and for food only the
necessity Of standing in line for few
hours 10 await the eleemosynary
loaf and the cheering charity panni-
kim And the manufacturers and the
merchants-surely they remember
that serene season OF peace and
quiet and freedom from business ac-
tivity. No Earring sounds of vibrant
hammers. no rude rumble and roar
of factory machinery. Smoking Chin
neys. roaring machinery Earring
hammers. all melting away in exact
inverse proportion to the contempt
raneous extension Of the Democratic
partys tariff policy lines and the
Democratic party's pauper bread and
soup lines-the happy ending OF a
perfect day.
And by exalted authority we are
now told that all we have to do III
we wish to perpetuate this elysium is
ito extend the lines Of the past policy
of the Democratic party" Extend
them for another four years. That's
all And there's Josephus. We get
him. too. What more do you want
You have got Josephus and you are
continued in the soup.

A FICTITIOUS CAMPAIGN ISSUE
From the PhlIadeIphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
No one will doubt Mr.. Henry Ford's
good intentions when he proposes to
help along the Wilson cause in the
presidential campaign. not by cash
contributions TO the treasury of the
Democratic national committee. but
by financing 2 propaganda through
his own business agencies for the
"eight-hour day" But none the less.
if Mr.. Ford fulfills this intention, he
will be furthering a fictitious issue,
assisting to deceive the public as to
the vital question involved in the sur
render of the President and Congress

THE REPUBLICAN MANAGEMENT.

from lne washington POST.
The announcement that all party
wrangling and factional fights are to
be ended. and that Chairman William
r. Wilcox of the Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee, is to be left FREQ
TO run the campaign as he sees At,
will be encouraging to the many
voters who are interested in the sue
cess Of the Republican party.
Probably most OF the reported dis
sension has been mythical and is due
more to the wishes of the Democrats
than to their real belief The post of
campaign manager has always illus
trated the theory that virtue is its own
reward. No matter what kind OF abil-
ity the chairman may bring to
campaign. If it goes the right way
the candidate and not the chairman
gets the credit. IF it goes the wrong
way the chairman gets the blame.
II is doubtful il any better selection
could have been made for the chair
manship than Mr.. Wilcox. He had
established a reputation for admins
trative ability. He was identified with
neither OF The two wings of the Re
publican party that clashed i'm 1912
He had the confidence of both sides.
His task however, has been most
difficult II he had played to the
Progressive wing he would have
alienated hundreds OF thousands of
conservative Republicans. IF he had
played TO the conservative side he
would have alienated the Progress
sives In plscating both sides It was
inevitable that he would not wholly
please ultra conservatives or radi-
Gals
Mr.. Wilcox has done remarkably
we'll, as was shown in the Maine cleo
ton, when most OF the Progressives
voted with the Republicans The re-
suits in that one State have now neu-
tralized criticism, since both sides
are willing to Judge the management
of the campaign by results.
II should be recognized that Mr..
Wilcox has a difficult task 10 per-
form. and each wing of the party
should make concessions to his judg.
ment and to his efforts at Cancellation.
SPECIAL KINDS OF DISHONESTY.
From the New York sun.
The misrepresentation Of the Adam
son law as granting an "eight hour day.
has now become standard feature OF
the Democratic campaign. IL has been
INDUCED in extensively by President
Wilson and Chairman Vance McCor-
mick, and has lately been used by the
able minded Secretary of the Interior,
Franklin Knight Lane.
Whatever may be thought of Secre-
tary Lane, there is no question but that
his intelectuals are keen enough to-
pierce TO the truth Of this matter Con.
sequentlv we must face the fact that
in the eight hour pay law we have To-
deal with intellectual dishonesty.
There are many special kinds of dis
honesty. but are there really any dis
tnctions among Them Is intellectual
dishonesty any better than any other
form of dishonesty

Mr. Adamson took occasion to make
close examination of street and road

given by q portion Of this road
Portland cement is being used in
many Of the states now for building

used in building streets in the cities"
remarked the mayor
Mr.. Adamson comes back more than
ever impressed with the boosting spirit
encountered in FL Paso. He says that
Fl Paso is not only well supplied with
good boosters, but that these boosters
are everlastingly on the job.

AMERICAN AND EUREKA
DITCH cos CONSOLIDATE

A meeting was held Saturday last
at the Center Point school house for
the purpose of consolidating the Am
erican and Eureka bitches. After about
two hours discussion an agreement
was reached to unite the two and in
the future to work as one ditch The
water will be taken out of the old
sloughs that at the present time serve
as bitches and new ditch dug that
will take less water.
The old sloughs will serve as drains.
This move is in the right direction
and everyone seems to appreciate the
fact.
A joint committee consisting of Ed
Mumford. president of the Eureka, and
A. P. Alexanderson. president of the
American, with Jess Rowland, make
up the committee who will have charge
of the organization of the new COM
pany.
The effect of the drainage that is
now being done by the government
can now be seen. The low places that
at this time of the year were usually
filled with water are now dry or nearly
so. A few years and the salt grass
will be replaced by the blue grass that
is taking the whole fat.
