Roots Message to America.

what America needs most OF all now is that
it may be revealed again in the hearts of its
people; that they may realize their love OF coun-
try, that their patriotism may be quickened; that
and die for its duty their fathers lived and died,
and as millions Of men are living and dying now
for their countries on those sad battlehelds Of
the old world.
II have lived long life, and, please God, will
die in the company and faith OF the republican
party have not been blind to its faults or silent
about them. But from away back among the dim
impressions Of childhood there comes to me now
and then the voice Of women praying that Cod
infinite wisdom might save this nation for free
dom through the trials Of bleeding Kansas and
Nebraska. Among the memories Of half-compre-
hending and half-forgotten boyhood are the
sounds OF marching men and the strong, wrath
full words OF those who bore up the hands OF
great-hearted Lincoln, agonizng for his country,
against those who thought this nation not worth
preserving.
During all the years since then, whenever the
stress Of trial pressed through the surface OF
prosperous life to the hard substratum OF convc-
ton and sense OF national duty, have found the
men whose aroused conscience and patriotism
urged them to stand for the financial honor, the
industrial independence, the moral integrity the
fidelity to duty OF our country, seeking their OBJ
ject chiefly through the organized power OF the
republican party.
~ believe in spiritual succession, in the trans.
mission Of faith from generation to generation, in
the ennoblement of reverence for great examples
in the publication Of life by ideals, in the love OF
country that subordnates lesser motives, and
believe that If the real prosperity and honor OF
America are to be preserved, If the soul Of Amer
lea is to be saved for its mission Of the future II
must be through the leadership of that great or
ganization which, In its birth and its life, its vic.
tories and its defeats its convictions and its i'm
pulses, is and always has been national to the
core.

Making cl.ndsssins Love to Americans

m4kluR NlAuoebUHc AONG "
The disclosures made by Victor Ridder Of the

temptation Of the political tactics adopted by the
democrats Processing the utmost adherence
for. 'thc hyphenates," denouncing them in speech
and in message, personal representatives Of the

leading German-Americans, pleading for support
and assistance in the present campaign. The inn
pudence OF Senator Stone and Postmaster Cen

sistance from the men who have been so roundly
denounced by the president is almost beyond be-
lief. II they are bargaining with the knowledge

would so brazenly try to make such deal in his

openly denounces as dislcyal all who do not agree
with his policy and then sends emissaries to slip
around the back way and tell his victims he
doesn't mean what he sayss The juggling and
doubie-dealing policy of the democrats in the
present campaign is fast being exposed, and will
certainly meet the defeat il deserves

II Looking for the Explanation.

The controlling influence Of the Union Pacific
Is lodged In the big Wall street banking house
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., one Of whose members,
Paul Warburg, was put in charge of the federal
reserve banks by President Wilson. That will
help explain why Chairman Lovett Of the Union
Pacific executive board, himself dyed-in-the-
wool Texas democrat, is able to find an excuse
for advocating the reelection of Wilson But as
future expectations always in politics outweigh
past gratitude, when Mr.. Lovett feels it incum-
bent upon him to front for the democratic admin
istration we may be sure he either has been per-
suaded that the wage increase force bill is not
what 1t pretends to be, or relies on assurance that
the railroads are to receive compensating favors
BY which the dear public will be made to foot
the bills

That Eight-Hour Day Misnomer.

Omaha, Oct. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: / have been reading about
and hearing democratic speakers laud
the eigth-hour law for trainmen only
other railway men nix. And the
more one thinks about it he wonders
what kind of a union man he must be
who approves of 1t. Anyone who has
ever had to do with the making of
a scale of wages knows that an eight
hour day without a penalizing over
time wage is not hard to get, but, oh,
you kid, when II comes to time-and-
half for overtime, double time for
Sundays and holidays, and, as most
unions require, after midnight-then
the fun" begins. l can name one
firm working nine hours open shop"
that would gladly have given seven
hour day to have had no strike ana
its union men, could 1t have been
under the same conditions as Presi-
dent Wilson's Adamson law which
gives pro rata (straight) time only
for overtime. What difference does
make to the boss" whether the
men" call 1t four, eight or ten-hour
day, so long as twenty-four hours cost
no more pay per hour than four, eight
or ten? OF course, it is recognized
that the Adamson law puts the rate
Of pay for trainmen at an eight-hour
day scale, but when necessary h,
works sixteen hours-sixteen hours
straight pay only. This philanthropy
law says not less than pro rata
not one word about overtime as known
to a union man.
If you, reader. were paying the
wages, would you want a softer snap?
You, Mr.. Union Man, do YOU want
the next legislature to pass an Adam
son bill for you-an eight-hour day
pro rata, or straight time for over
time? If so, please tell us what you
call an eight-hour day. It's your
time-and-half and double time that
enforces, is it not?
Let the trainmen sit down and think
one little serious think and possibly
they will see where they have been
buncoed. They need expect nothing
In the future except sentences to
Leavenworth for any attempt to
amend that law. or enforce any wage
scale not In accord with its provisions
The law says "for all necessary time
in excess of eight hours such employees
shall be paid at rate not less than
the pro rata rate for such standard
eight-hour work days" Do you see
anything about time-and-a-half, or any
other penalty for working longer?
There is another law that says railway
employees in the train service cannot
work more than sixteen hours, so six
teen hours Is a days work. I'm from
Missouri, so II sixteen hours is not
trainman's day under law. show me.

How the Democratic Deficit Is Mounting.

A correspondent writes to The Bee asking for
verhcation Of figures published one day last
week. when il was stated that the treasury Of the
United States is now running behind $3.50 each
second Of the business days. The statement was
based on figures furnished by the Treasury de-
partment and included only the time up to the
last week in September. As matter Of fact the
calculation was under, rather than over, the mark
On the sixth day OF October, the deficit for the
eighty-three days OF the current fiscal year was
$o6ss0,i5s05, or $sos,42l per day. This is at the
rate OF 1882 plus for each Of the $500 seconds In
day OF twenty-four hours, or S2799 for each Sec
ond OF an eight-hour day Just listen to the clock
tick few minutes and you may get an idea Of
how fast the government is running behind in its
cash account under the democratic administration.
Also remember that when the democrats took
charge OF the treasury on March 4, 1918, they
found surplus Of sSs,0Oo,ooo accumulated under
republican control.

His kicking was a classic and his running

The enemy all took flight, their terror Ill

He was the very limit in strenuous pastime;
To ask a man to tackle him was nothing
but crime
He was the strongest man they'd had in
twenty-seven years;
He always left the field bestrewn with arms
and legs and ears.
But back home In vacation time his strength
just failed, ! VOW
He was so weak he couldn't think of follow

He couldn't hoe potatoes and he couldn't

He simply seemed to pine away and dwindls
as rule.
It'll in the fall when time came round for

Wire.Tapping Selling Methods.

Omaha, Oct. Ito the Editor of
The Bee: Those familiar with the So
called overlapping game know that
the victim is first allowed to win some
money at a faked-up horse race, and
then, tempted by the easy manner ap-
parently with which he won, Is in
duced to put up as much money as he
can raise, with the sad result that he
awakes to the fact that the first money
he won was merely bait to get all
money.
Very properly, there are laws
against this form of swlndle, and every
one would be outraged were any
gestion made to repeal them. Yet, in
consistent as it is, our laws allow
another form of swindle that along
certain lines is just as reprehensible }
refer to the cut-price game used by
certain classes Of stores. which is
nothing more or less than a swindle
except that instead of the victim los
ing all his money, he gets portion of
it back in merchandise.
A store of the cut-rate type will
take a well-known article, or even
food, and sell it at such an exceed
ingly low price that the proprietors
actually lose money on each and every
sale. The man OF woman who does
not understand that this is merely bait
used to get them into the cut-rate
stores believes, In his or her simple
mind, that because they sell these we'll
known goods SO much lower than
other stores, everything else they sell
Is lower as we'll. Like the wiretapper
they give you more than your moneys
worth at the start, and then get more
than you saved when they sell you
other things.
If every man will show the inter-
est in this matter he should, 1t would
not take long to compel merchants
who are using cut-rate methods for
getting business to run their affairs
in a strictly above-board manner
Naturally these dishonest merchants
are fighting with all their power, and
SO far have succeeded in keeping the
bill to stop these practices getting be-
fore congress, as they feel that once
1t does 1t is sure to be passed. The
arguments they advance against the
passage of the bill sound very plaus-
ible until brought against the cold
truth, when one can plainly see that
they are merely the attempts of the
drowning man to grasp straw to
save him from sinking.

When Hughes Comes to Nebraska.

When Charles Evans Hughes comes to Ne
braska, as he will tomorrow, the cordial hand OF
welcome will be out that belongs to a distin-
guished public man, and particularly to the man
who, in all probability, is to be chosen to occupy
the White House and guide the destinies OF the
nation for the next four years.
Nebraska has just begun its serial celebration
OF its fftieth year Of statehood, and the whole
history of Nebraska is intimately bound up with
the birth and progress OF the republican party,
which is today honored by having Mr.. Hughes
as its standard-bearer.
As a territory Nebraska emerged from the
fiery ordeal that produced the Kansas-Nebraska
bill and laid the foundation for the organization
Of the republican party. Nebraska's attainment
Of statehood fifty years ago, was by-product OF
the great war for the preservation OF the union,
successfully fought out under the republican lead
ership Of Abraham Lincoln. And the very act
that admitted Nebraska into full membership in
the union bears the name OF president elected
on the same ticket with Abraham Lincoln.
Friend and foe alike concede that Charles
Evans Hughes would be fitting successor to the
great presidents which the republican party has
given to the nation, and it would be fine con-
summation Of our semi-eentennial celebration to
have Nebraska help to re-establish republican
supremacy in the nation under the leadership Of
Mr.. Hughes.
Regardless Of election day fealty, however, the
distinguished visitor 10 entitled to the attention
and consideration due the presidential candidate
OF the political party to which Nebraska owes so
much-even its very being.
