Farmers win Bear Burden-On the
farmers of the country will fall tn"
heaviest burden il Congress does not
repeal Mr.. Wilson's railway wage in
crease bill is the contention of Henry
N. Pope, president of the Association
of State Presidents of the Farmer
Union. Mr.. Pope says that the farm
ers of the country stand for fair wages
and an eight-hour day, but that when
they find the highest paid laborers in
the world demanding a 25-per cent in
crease and Congress Fastening to their
relief, the farmers are thoroughly dis
satisfied" Mr.. Pope declares that the
increased freight rates advocated by
President Wilson are certain to fal
most heavily on the farmers becaus
they are compelled to ship practically
all of their products, because OF Their
bulk, etc Mr.. Polk asserts that the
railway employees so benefited enjoy

by farmers and that "the average farm
income is only $1.47 a day, out of
which must be paid the expenses OF
the family" Referring to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates, he
says, This increase must. in the end,
rest upon the back of the farmer and
will reduce his income, increase his
hours of labor and call for another
levy of farm mothers from the home to
tho field"

Other Things Neglected-Despite
their insistence on loyalty to the cause
of conservation, the Democrats have
left unpassed every important conser-
walton measure. Being for conserva-
ton only as a matter of political ex-
pediency, neither the President nor
Congress actually regarded the con-
servation bills as important. After in
sisting that legislation restricting i'm
migration was of the highest import
ance. the Democrats permitted it to
go by the board. Another policy
adopted simply for its effect on the
election was the creation of tariff
commission. The Democrats, there
fore, rejected the provision making a
permanent annual appropriation for
such board and instead merely enact
ed a temporary measure, providing
50 laries for one year at 81, 500 a year
instead of the original proposition
which made the positions permanent
and the salaries $l2 900 year. The
laws which the President at one time
pointed out were essential to enforce
ment of strict neutrality and which
were prepared by the Department OF
Justice, were abandoned when the
election approached and the Demo-
cratic Managers asserted that their
enactments would ALLEVIATE political
support.

COLONEL ON WAY TO
TALK TO COAL MINERS
Takes Card With Him Show
ing He Belongs to One Of
Railway Bortherhoods
BY J. p. Yoder.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. l4.-Colonel Roose-
Welt left New York today for his sec
ond quick thrust and return to base be-
fore he starts his big offensive in the
interests Of Republican Candidate
Charles Evan Hughes next Tuesday.
He is to speak tonight at Wilkesbare,
Pa, to gathering of miners. He re-
turns here Sunday and leaves for his
big western swing Tuesday. The
colonel goes into the heart of the min
ing district 'loaded for the Adamson
eight hour law bugbear," as he put it,
less than a week after President White
of the United Mine Workers declared
for President Wilson.
He intends to tell the miners he be.
lieves in an eight hour law, but that
he doesn't believe the Adamson law is
one. Andshe will tell his audience at
the start that he doesn't speak alto
gethcr as former president Of the
United States and as a stump speaker
for the present candidate for TIN t of
flee, but as q brother member of the
miners union. He took his honorary
Nulu WIN "iNhS W."
another printed pastboard which shows
he is n member of'tShe of the railway
brothcrhoods in good standing.
The present trip of the colonel is ad-
mittedly to attempt turning of the
labor Vote tide. He was expected to
go deeply into detail regarding the
labor records of President Wilson and
Hughes in his effort to prove the lat
terra more solid friend of union labor
and of workers who do not belong to
unions. =,
It is coincidence that Rooscvclt's
visit to Wilkcsbarre today is his first
campaign trip in Pennsylvania since he
spoke there for Vance Mccormick two
years ago when the national dem 1eratie
chairman, as the democratic guberna'
torial nominee, had been endorsed by

Work On Front Street
Stopped by Injunction

The work. of excavating on Front
street, between Court and State, for
the purpose of building a spur railway
track for commercial use has been
brought to stop by the filing of an
application for an injunction.
Walter Morley, whose home is in
California, owns the property on the
east side of Front street at this point,
and it was his attorney, Walter E.
Keyes, who yesterday afternoon filed
the petition asking the court to re-
strain the Southern Pacific company
from continuing operations there. The
contention is made that the building of
the spur track viii .depreciate the
value of the Morley property, on which
there are three dwellings and store
building, the last named of which is
used as fence factory.
Authority to construct the spur has
been granted the railway company by
the city council.
Morley estimates the damage to his
property from the work already done
at $4,000 and asks judgment in that
sum.

"But America" the president con.

justice and peace. When once she is
challenged there is no man so mean
or so forgetful of the history of this
nation who would not give everything,
even his life, to stand by the honor of
this country"
The president warned against control
of the government by men "who won 7
tell you what they are going to do, -
and ripped into the republican party.
He declared that his opponents don't
know what they want and are not say
ing what they would do.
He said that progressives have been
shamefully deceived and betrayed by
those "who merely wanted to gain con-

"Now we see standing out the fam
