is THE PUBLIC
INDIFFERENT?
It viii Suffer, Perhaps. as Much
as the Railroads In Case of
a Nationwide Strike.

Is the public Indifferent to the danger
of a railroad strike which, if declared
will tie up all freight traffic in the
United States?
As the railroads are serving the pub
lie, If a strike is declared By the four
big brotherhoods of railway trainmen
it stands TO reason the public will suffer,
perhaps as much as the railroads.
The public depends upon the rail-
roads for the transportation of its sup
plies and, naturally, anything that
interferes with such movements will
affect the public. The members of the
brotherhoods of enginemen, iremen,
conduct RS, and trainmen all over the
United States are now voting on the
proposition to strike. They have asked
the railroads for an eighthour basic
work day and time and half for over
time. The railroads have said that
the burden would be too heavy; that
they cannot pay out S100, 600, 600 annual
ly in increased wages with no chance 10
increase their revenues in proportion;
that to grant the demands would be to
work hardship on the other men in
train service who compose the larger
number of workmen; that to grant the
demands of the brotherhoods whose
haOhhDOAo oAO NV 0A1Ohk VbO AAB hOoe
paid workmen in the country, would
not be fair to the stockholders who
should be given fair return upon their
investments.
The railroads have offered to submit
the whole matter to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, or to mediation
under the provisions OF the Federal
law The offer OF the railroads for
arbitration has been declined by the
represen tatives of the brotherhoods.
In all probability there will be q call
for volunteers to help maintain the SER
vice by the railroads. Such calls have
already been sent out by several rail-
roads in the East. This would mean
that while che transportation service Of
the country would be kept up, it would
hardly be up to the requirements of the
public. 1t would mean more or less
confusion and delay for time, and the
exercise of patience on the part of the
public and shippers generally.
The seriousness of nationwide
strike, such as is threa tened, is q mat
ter in which the public is vitality con-
cerned for 1t means most serious handi-
cap to business anywhere.
The men asking for more pay compose
only Is per cent OF the total number OF
men employed in railroad service, and
under their present conditions now re-
ceive % per cont OF the payrolls.

Have you picked out the animals
you intend 10 AAow at your County
Fair this fall? II you expect to win,
it's time for the selection. II you are
really breeding something that your
neighbors would be interested in there
is no better place to advertise than at
your County Fair. Your neighbors
will be there. Surprise them a little
by showing them something good.
OF course, they haven't been taking
your breeding operations seriously and
the chances are that IL they wanted to
buy an animal of the breed you have
they would buy from somebody who
carries a big advertisement in the
paper. Why? Simply because you
haven't convinced them that you have
Just as good stock as the other man.
II you have good animal show him.
You can show him to more people in
one day at the County Fair than would
come to your farm to see him in ten
years. Get catalog and pick out your
animals for each class. Make 1t at
least interesting for the man who has
been walking away with the ribbons.
A remark that is commonly heard
at the fairs is: i've got one better
than that at home" This may be true
and doubtless is In many cases, but If
the man who makes such a statement
had any public spirit and interest in
the Improvement of conditions in his
county or was awake to his own OPP
portunity he would be ashamed to own
the fact.
The greatest problem confronting
the average breeder is to keep his ami
mails up to standard. A man may buy
a herd of animals Of the most popular
type today and 90 off by himself for
ten years to conduct his breeding OPP
erations. Upon returning he will, ex-
cept by the greatest accident, nnd that
he is producing something far differ
emit from that In popular demand. The
surest way to know what you have is
by comparison with others. The Coun-
ty Fair is your opportunity.

FOR TAX ASSESSOR
MATERIAL CRITICISED,

The condition Of the first road
built by the Pike Road Commits
sioners is bad. 1t is true that
there have been continued rains,
which commenced before the sur
face got fairly set, but even
granting the road builders the
benefit of the doubt there is a
suspicion in the minds of the peo-
pie that the gravel put on the
road will not do what is claimed
for it, that is, firmly cement to-
gether and form road stout
enough to support automobile
traffic in wet weather. In the
first place, the stretch of road
rebuilt was about the best in the
county, barring a number OF
worn places, which should have
been repaired. 1t had been built
of crushed limestone and then
rebuilt of the same material. 1t
was wide enough for autos and
other vehicles to traverse one
side of it going to Jasper and re-
turn on the other. 1--WE refer to
the stretch of road from the Pry-
or garage to Jasper.) 1t was
good to drive on, and ten or fiji
teen wagon loads of finely crush
ed limestone would have put the
entire stretch in good order. Let
us see what has been done. The
surface of the road was plowed,
uprooting the limestone rock that
was like a table, Then a yellow
gravel was put on it, not wide
enough for autos to pass without
going down off the crown of the
road into the soft material next |
the gutter. The people had had |
an idea that the commissioners
were going to use white ebert,
which we maintain right here is
the only native material outside
of crushed limestone that will
hold up travel, but they appear
to be deceived in this, for the
stuff that is being put on is
yellow material and we suspect
contains clay. The rad now is
as bad as ordinary country road.
It may improve. We hope so.
The question is, if the road be-
tween here and Whitwell is to be
built of the same class of mater
ial, how long will it last, and
what Improvement will it be over
he present road on which two
coats of the same material have
alread, been put. Furthermore
there is no limestone foundation
under this road to support a
surface of yellew ebert and clay.

HUGHES WOMEN
RIDE OVER TRAPS
Glass Chips on Arizona
Road Fail to Halt
Speakers Cars.
By ERNESTINE EVANS.

On Board Women's Campaign Train
for Hughes. Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 20
Local Democrats are making every pos
sible effort TO handicap the women
speakers for Hughes. Yesterday, the
speakers declare, Clipped glass was
scattered on the state highway from
Phoenix to Tempe, with the purpose OF
puncturing the tires OF the women's
motor cars and preventing their
speeches in the aerodrome at the latter
place. Che meetings were held this
morning, none of the speakers having
been delayed.
Lively noon meetings were held in
Glendale, and luncheon for 300 in the
Phoenix Women's Club house, all events
being attended by lackadaisical sextet
of messenger boys, toting Democratic
An audience Of 100 cheered Mrs.
O'Shaughnessy's appeal TO the citizens
of the border states in the afternoon
at the Young Mems Christian Associc-
ton Plaza. Have not our brother
American citizens the same right 70
protection OF their lives and property
and Of the honor of their wives AID
children even in Mexico, as the sons
OF England, Japan or Germany" she
demanded. Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott's
references to Colonel Roosevelt, who
speaks in Phoenix tomorrow, were also
cheered.
This is the first Presidential ballot
to be cast by Arizona women, and both
parties are concentrating their energy
on the new voters. The local Woman
Hughes Alliance, who put 300 new
names on the registration lists by a
kitchen canvass among the ranchers'
wives, are rallying around the Hughes
record as Governor in promoting pro-
tective legislation for women and chill
dren and his favor of the Federal short
cut to suffrage. The Democrats make
a woman's issue Of the prohibition
record OF the present Governor.

UNION WATERS
PLAN BIG STRIKE
Join Kitchen Workers in
Demands-Larger Hotels
Not Affected

Plans for strike Of waters and
kitchen workers have been formulated
by union organizers. who announced
yesterday that they would attempt 70
tie up the service of hotels, restaU rants
and clubs in the theatre district as TAR
uptown as l55th Street.
Il was learned last night, however,
that the strike is not likely TO affect
the regular service of the hote ). Mem
bers Of the Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployes' international Alliance Of Amer
lea and the Federation of Culinary and
Alimentary Syndicates, the two inde-
pendent organizations contemplating a
strike, are employed as banquet walters
and cooks in small restaurants, only a
small percentage being in the employ OF
hotels.
The demands Of the kitchen workers
and waters are for ten-hour day, pay
for overtime and one day off each week.
After a meeting of the walters organi-
zation, held YESTERDAY al the headquar-
tiers, u St. Marks Place. at which the

Dipped Girl Who Tried to Die
Clings to Cat as Only Friend
Daisy Stevenss Pet Alone Knew Her Troubles After She

Daisy Stevens, charged with vagrancy

Street court in Brooklyn.
Two waits. brown-eyed girl dressed
in deep mourning and a little gray
kitten almost as frightened as the

all about everything" Daisy said later
in the afternoon.
She had whispered the secret OF her

She had held the pet clutched in her
arms when she went TO the Manhattan

her shame in the kindly waters of the
river that conceals so much. SO the
kitten knew.

Daisy said yesterday afternoon. Il

wouldn't feel bad. And, besides, loved
