NO SURRENDER TO FORCE


and Congress in enacting the eight
hour law was no surrender to force.
Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Roose-
welt, Penrose, Pierpont Morgan and
George w. Perkins may maintain
that the administration surrendered
o force, but that does not prove
the fact.
The President and Congress had
no controversy with either party to
the threatened strike. The con-
troversy was between the managers
IF the railroads and the men who
ran the trains.
The effect of the strike would
have been fearful. Everybody real
ized this. kilograms from every
part of the Union poured in on the
President and Congressman praying
them to avert the strike.
The farmers and fruit growers
products would have rotted for lack
of transportation. The poor in
cities would have suffered for food,
for coal and other necessities.
The manufacturers of the country,
he whole business fabric would
have collapsed. Universal distress
and permanent loss of tremendous
proportions would have resulted.
Such was the conditions the Pres
ident faced-such the calamity he
bravely and patriotically averted
from the nation. Action, immediate
action was demanded and immed-
late action was taken. Action that
was a beneficence and blessing to
the country.
The opulent, sinister, special in
terests and persons seeking po-
litical capital may condemn the
President, but the working men
and women, those who would have
borne the brunt of the loss and
suffering, will not.
The controversy was settled
right. Neither party to it would
have submitted to q wrong settle
ment. The principle of arbitration,
always maintained by the President,
had no application to a point-that
eight hours labor constitutes law
full days work-already settled by
the laws of nearly every state and
the laws of the federal govern
ment in its relation to its own en-
ployes and those having contracts
with it.
The only force exerted was the
moral force of the Presidents right
position backed by the sense and
of the whole people. That
was the only force yielded to, and
the yielding was done by the rail
road magnates, unless yielding to
zee was done by the seventy Re-
publican congressman who voted
'or the eight hour law, and the Re-
publican senator's who could have
its passage but did not.

these are almost identical in the
states named, they can hardly be the
cause. Is 1t in the production of the
people? 1t is not because the best
authentic reports show that South
Dakota has for IL years produced
more new wealth per inhabitant than
either of the above states.
There is but one thing left to make
a direct comparison upon. and that is
the production of the soil per acre.
Does Illinois produce 6 times as
much. Iowa 5 times as much, Ne
braska A times as much per acre as
South Dakota? We are from MISS
ouri, and will have to be shown.
1t must be that farm land values
are based upon some other reasons
than those quoted above. Perhaps a
careful examination of history would
disclose the fact that age and the
slow development of second or third
generations are necessary, or Gus
tomary, to real values in farm lands
which age and development makes
for better improved farms.
