President Wilson has finally
taken a hand in the settlement
of the questions involved in the
threatened railroad strike, and
at this writing the indications
point to an adjustment of the
mooted questions without any
strike order. AS we stated sew
eral weeks ago the principle of
the eight hour law should extend
to all classes of labor, and there is
no just or equitable reason why
it should not include railroad en-
ployes. On this point the repre-
sentatives of the brotherhoods
are right in their position that
the question in not one for arbi-
tration, because it is established
as a law of labor economics in
this country. 1t was a mistake
when Congress passed the six
teen hour rule. 1t should have
been twelve, and the men should
have been exempt from duty for
the remainder of the tWenty-four
hour day

our farmers? Why don't they

en- chance to win out:

Four years ago in Arizona the
democratic vote was only 354
more than the united republican
and progressive vote, but the
people are wiser now after four
years of Mr.. Wilson; and besides
since then the ballet has been
given the women through no as
sistance of Mr.. Wilson. The
women will not forget this fact
when they go to the polls to vote
this fall, and Arizona will be in
the republican column.
In Colorado the progressive
and republican vote exceeded the
democratic vote more than 49,
600, Notwithstanding thousands
of republicans voted for Wilson
to defeat Roosevelt,
Ia Idaho the votes for Wilson
only exceeded the Taft vote by
100, and Roosevelt polled 25, 900
which this year will swing back
to the republicans.
Indiana is always battle
ground, and this year particular
ly SO because both candidates for
vice-president are native sons.
On straight fight for President
Indiana has always been record
ed for the republican ticket with
but two exceptions since 1880,
the first break being in 1884
when Hendricks was the running
mate of Cleveland, and again in
1892 when Harrison was can
didate for reelection, and local
dissentions of his own making
lost him his own state.
In New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson s
home state, he only polled 33, 900
votes more than Roosevelt, and
the Taft vote was $4,000. Moth
ing has transpired in New Jer-
sey during the past three years
that has added any strength to
Mr.. Wilson, while his unwarrant-
ed meddling in state affairs has
alienated many of his former
supporters.
In New York the Lord only
knows what will happen at any
time, but it is Mr.. Hughes ma
tive state, and with a united pro-
gressive and republican vote ex-
ceeding the democratic vote by
100000. with both the Hughes
and Roosevelt personalities en-
tering into the campaign it is
almost certain to be republican
this year.
West Virginia quit going dem
ocratic in 1892 until the progress
sives divided the vote four years
ago. 1t will return to the fold
this year under Hughes.
Wyoming is a sheep state. but
Wilson carried it over Taft by
The Winslow mail., 1916-08-18

With the progressive vote unit
ed with the republican in the
support of Hughes the above
states are as surely republican as
Texas is democratic. The re-
publican nominee will only need
twenty-one additional electoral
votes to give him a majority, and
in the following states the re-
publicans have more than an ev-
on cbapco RI win ont.

THE cotton seed furnished a

since cotton seed is rarely eyer

of seed in a tight bin or box, and
then pour a half pint Of carbon

BolI WeeyiIs Spend Winter II
Cotton Seed

That a great many boil weevils
spend their winters inside the
cotton seed. we'll protected from
the weather, is the discovery
just made by DR.. H. B. Brown.
in charge of plant breeding at
the Mississippi A. & M. College
Experiment Station.
This scientist, therefore, is
urging the farmers to look care
fully into their seed before
planting to make sure that they
are not planting the pest that
will damage their crops. He ad
vises against buying cotton seed
from Weevil infected territory,
and suggests that the seed be
treated with carbon bisulphide
before planting in order that the
weevils may be destroyed.
On investigation, DR.. Brown
discovered that large numbers of
the cotton boil weevils pass
through the winter in the seed,
having apparently entered after
the seed were mature. as the
seed hulls are in a normal condi-
ton. Some of the cotton seed
were followed out completely,
while in others seed kernels
looked as if the weevil had just
been eating it. The weevils were
alive and active when found.
Reasoning from the number OF
weevils found in the amount OF
seed examined. DR.. Brown esti
mates that there are so weevils
in every bushel of seed. Of this
number a large part will doubt
less live to reproduce the next
season.
without doubt" he says,
this method of Information is
