Statewide Prohibition in Missouri

By petition of less than thirty
thousand voters of voting pop
ulation of nearly eight hundred
thousand, statewide prohibition is
again before the people of Missouri.
Although the petitions we're in gener-
al circulation for many months, only
the small number of signatures men
toned was secured. This may have
been due to the fact that the tenn
perance organizations were divided
on the subject, the older organization
failing to approve the raising of the
question at this time. The proposed
amendment is in more drastic form
this year than it was six years ago,
when the proposition was defeated
by majority of 21S,0O0. Although
there was no e-spread demand
for reconsideration of the question
of state wide prohibition, the state is
again put to the expense of an cleo
tion on the subject, and the people
will have to vote on it.
THE SQUARE DEAL.
The fair man stands for the square
deal-doing unto others as he would
be done by. He believes it is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
If you are that kind of a man, we
want word with You on the matter
of state wide prohibition.
You have prohibition now in your
county through local option-IF A
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE FAV-
OR IT. The large cities regulate the
liquor traffic via the High License
System-a majority of the people fav-
or it,
Would you think it fair to give the
large citiesin Missouri the power to
vote saloons upon your COUNTY re-
gardless of your protest in the matter?
Of course, you would not, and the
cities have no power nor disposition
to do such an unjust thing. That's
one way the prohibition rule works.
On the other hand, do you think it
fair for YOUR COUNTY to vote the
saloon out of the LARGE CITIES re-
gardless of their protest in the mat
ter? You have the power, and you
may do that very unjust thing. That's
the OTHER way the prohibition rule
DOESN'T work.
If the large cities have nopower to
make.the county ''wet, "why should The
county want TO exercise its arbitrary
power to make cities dry? Should not
the county DO AS IT WOULD BE
DONE BY? Asquare deal for the "dry''
COUNTIES, yes; but why should
there not also be square deal for
the CITIES? Should not the prohibi-
tion rule be made to work BOTH
WAYS?

Crisis for Nations IoiIers.


the Republican regime was that High
Tariff sdoes not regulate wages, but
makes it possible for the manufactur-
er to so regulate prices that he can
control labor. The farmer, with his
characteristic self-reliance and natur-
ally Independent spirit, asked no fav-
ors. All he wanted was an equal
chance with other business men. VIII
son saw the farmers interests in q
big way.
The Rural Credits Act alone, of
more than a dozen big things this
Democratic Congress did for agricul-
ture, gave greater direct benefits to
the farmers than any legislation en-
acted since the creation of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture a generation ago.
There came time when the laborer
saw that his labor was a commodity,
thing to be bought and sold, or re-
strained or enjoined by the unwar-
ranted issuance of injunction writs in
Federal courts; he saw that he did
not have the right-guaranteed him
by our constitutional voluntary as
sociation for his own protection and
welfare; in short, he saw that he was
wage slaveg He saw that he was
up against Capital-organized and en-
trenched behind the Powerful Pull Of
the Political Bosses of the Republican
High Finance Gang, and Organized
Capital fought to prevent the organi-
zation of Labor!
What did Labor demand? Merely
this: That Labor be made part of the
national councils: that it's patriotism
be conceded; and that it's knowledge
of its own needs give it paramount
voice in legislation directly and Pc
culiarly affecting its own rights.
And what has been the spirit of this
Democratic Administration? Let Sam
uel Gompers, President of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor tell:
"In my experience with United
States Congresses during two score
years | have not seen anything like
the fine spirit toward labor, toward
the rights and welfare Of all the
people, peryading all the branches of
the Wilson Administration. This fun
damental right spirit has guided the
Wilson Administration to wise and
righteous labor legislation"
In the age long struggle between
Capital which has always had per-
mission to combine, and Labor, which
was denied the right to combine, the
greatest step toward the full enfran-
chisement of labor was recommended
by a Democratic President and put
into law by Democratic Congress
the anti7Injunction Amendment to
the Clayton Law.
Farmers and LakIEers of America
biggest of all Big Interests-the crest
of the crisis has come. You-the big
element in our national life and the
real makers of our prosperity-you
are to decide: Are we to continue
democracy or are we to go back to the
Good Old Pif1le of specious admins
tration which would buy your vote by
damning the man who has given you
what you asked for-and gave it to
you because it was right and proper
and just!
Make no mistake. The Issue of this
campaign is as plain as the nose on
your face. 1t is:
Big Interests VS.. the biggest Inter
este.
Invisible Government VS.. True DEM
ocracy.
Big Words VS.. Deeds.

V6n 4aa6isdg IRONTON MO, THURSDAY,

WREN they can play the market at
their own sweet Will. 1t would have
meant Sj0,OO0,000 dollars loss to the
farmers on the billion bushel crop.
James X. Armsby, one of the larg-
est shippers of fruit in California,
Republican, recently said that if the
strike had taken place it would have
hankrupted many of the fruit growers
Of that State. He said it would have
caused loss of not less than S20,oo0,-
COO TO the fruit Industry of California
alone. This amount is probably much
too low.
The peach crop now going to mar
ket, with value of about $55, 900, 900,
would have been practically a total
loss. The $2co, 100000 apple crop
would have shrunk by half in value.
The potato crop, of value of about
S22o, 100000 would have involved a
further loss Of at least $50, ,ooo, 900. The
cabbage farmer of Northern Ohio, the
grower of tomatoes for the cannery,
and the celery grower of Michigan and
Florida would have kept mournful
company. Melons from Colorado, Cali
fornia, Arizona and Delaware, grapes
from western New York, and from
Yakima and Wenatchee, prunes, pick
les poultry, butter and eggs would
have gone down in the common cata-
clysm.
What would strike have meant to
the live stock market Of the farmer?
And what would it have meant to the
consumer, with the cold storage facili-
lies in control of the packers COM
oine?
Would Have Parayzed Industry.
The direct and immediate loss which
the farmer would have sustained in
case Of strike is but one phase of
the danger which threatened his inter-
ests. The depressing influence upon
market prices, resulting from the in
,.bility of consumers to buy because of
lack of employment, would have been
sclt in every item Of this years farm
products. Take this single instance !:
This telegram, sent to President Will
son On September I'd by Henry Ford,
the worlds greatest automobile manu-
tacturer:
The President: The moment it
is positively known that a strike
will become effective on the rail-
roads, the Ford Motor Company
will of absolute necessity shut
down its factory and all of it's as
sembly plants throughout the
country, and every man of it's more
than 10000 workers will have to
go off the pay roll.
Our business is so organized
that the supplies and products
must be kept moving constantly.
We cannot move day without
railroad service. We are making
1900 cars every day. The materl-
ais must be moved in and cars
out. | sincerely hope something
: can be done to avert the strike.
Your efforts are appreciated and
should be commended by every
citizen in the country.
HENRY FORD.
This telegram is typical of what
would have happened to practically
every American industry had a strike
ensued. Millions of laborers would
have faced enforced idleness, poverty
and destitution. The strike would
have paralyzed every American indus
try and precipitated panic, such as
has never been witnessed.
Has not the farmer good reason to
thank God that Woodrow Wilson was
in the White House, with nerve and
sanity enough to stop such national
calamity?

By FRANK G. ODELL
Editor OF the Nebraska Farm Magazine

The farmers of America recently
faced crisis, from which they were
delivered by prompt action by the
President of the United States-the
threat of the nationwide railway
strike. The railway managers and
the representatives of the 100000 men
employed in train service, were dead
locked over hours of labor and wage
schedules. President Wilson volun-
teered to act as mediator, but had
no power to force arbitration. An
impasse was reached.
The Brotherhood issued a strike
order effective on Labor Day, Septem-
ber 4. The railroad arrangements
showed that they recognized the i'm
minence of the strike. Embargo or
ders were issued on freight shipments.
Supplies and strike breakers were mo-
biliZed. The country waited, breath
lessly, for the storm to break. 1t was
apparent that neither side was bluff
fng.
The President saw a national calam-
ity impending. He called leaders of
his party into conference with him
and with them wrote the bill present
ed to Congress with the special mes
sage of the President next day. Mel
ther the railroads nor the railway
brotherhoods were. consulted. Neither
side knew what the bill contained;
neither made any demand, or had the
slightest influence in the framing of
the BILL
That portion of the bill providing an
eight-hour day for employees engaged
in the operation of trains became a
law. 1t was accepted by the Brother
hoods, the strike order was cancelled
the calamity was averted.
No class stood to lose SO much from
this strike as the farmer. A single
week of inactivity in freight and ex-
press service would have paralyzed
his market for a month or more. Com
na at the time of marketing of perish
able products, his loss from this
course alone would have run into mil
lions.
Staggering Losses Averted.
1t is estimated by the railroad man
agements that the increase in wages
because of the eight-hour day will
amount to from $5O,0O0,000 to $780,
100000 a year. Allowing their high
est figure, $1oo,ooo,ooo, the farmers
of the United States would have lost
more than this in thirty days had
there not been a man In the White
House big enough to protect the in
terest of the whole people.
