A TRUE PROGRESSIVE.

Judge Albert d. Nortoni, the
Missouri Progressive chieftain
heretofore intimately associated
with Roosevelt and other Progress
sive leaders and candidate for
Governor of Missouri on the Pro-
gressive ticket in 1912, has an
nounced his support of President
Wilson and will take an active part
! in his campaign. He has resigned
from the Missouri Appellate Court,
to which he was elected for q
twelve-year-term as Republican,
so that he can consistently support
the Democratic candidate.
Judge Nortoni says that Wilson
has demonstrated real Progressive P
ideals, while Hughes is,4a typical
New York lawyer welded to the
ideas and ideals of Big Business.
He contrasts the Federal reserve
law, the rural credits law, the child
labor law, the proposed scientific
tariff commission and the shipping
bill, all Wilson measures, with
Hughes opposition as Governor of
Newly ork to the income tax amend
ment and his veto. of the two-cent
fare rate bill, land the total lack, as
evidenced by his speeches, of any
real constructive program.
Judge 'Nortoni asserts that a
great many true Progressives, re-
.senting the betrayal of the party
by former Bull Moose leaders, will
support Wilson.

CONFIDENT OF
THE " VERDICT

1T is clearly evident in the delib-
erations which have been in prog
ress atsW ashington over the threat
ened nation wide strike that public
opinion is destined to play lead
ing part in theIfnal adjustment of
the matters in controversy.
That the RAILROAD heads have i'm
plicit confidence in the verdict Of
the, people is shown. very forcefully
in the statement of Elisha Lee cf
the Pennsylvania Railroad When
he says, 'If these wage demands
are just in whole or in part, then
public tribunal, appointed by the
President, as we have urged, would
speedily SO determine.
"The weight of public opinion
must determine this ISSUE" he con-
tinues. ave can not believe that
it is the calm Judgment of the
country that we should sacrifice
the principle of arbitration in in
dustrial disputes under threat to
tie up the commerce Of the coun-
try"
It must be born in mind that the
public-the third party in this
case-will,be called upon to bear
the burden of additional cost which
the demands of the brotherhoods
will carry, if granted. The de-
mends are too heavy for the rail-
roads to meet and pay fair return
upon investment. To grant them
would mean that all improvements
in the way Of extensions and bet
terments would have to cease.
And this in the face Of the fact
that in 1916 fewer miles of new
railroad were constructed in the
United States than for any one
year since the Civil War.
In the event of a nationwide
strike and the. stopping of trains
the .public-would suffer perhaps as
much as the railroads. Industries
upon transportation
would have to close down and
thousands upon thousands of en-
ployees would, be thrown out of
work.
And the public should know that
this state of affairs is to be brought
about by one.seventh of the men
in railroad service. It would mean
that 100,O00,0C0 citizens of the ma
tion are to be inconvenienced be-
cause 35O,O00 of the highest paid
workmen in the country want.more
wages.
1t is hardly oonceivable'that the
public will sit idly by and submit
without protest. Such protests
have already been registered in
Washington from thousands OF
business men, commercial organi
bankers over thecountry-
These are some of the things'
that are bound to influence public
opinion and these facts, known to
the heads of the railroads, have
caused them to speak out to con-
tend for the principle of arbitration
and to agree to submit their case
to the people.
They feel confident of the ver-
dict. They have an abiding faith
in he-finding Of the jury Of "pub-
lie opinion" For when the facts
are known there can be but one
