Threw Away Reputation.
Not in the history Of American pol
itical contests has any candidate for
high Office SO recklessly thrown
away his reputation.
Thoughtful Democrats will find no
cause for rejoicing over this fallen
Republican idol. 1t is rather a spec
tacle to arouse their sympathy and
pity that a public man of such emf
nence should so utterly prove his un-
worthiness.
The overthrow and destruction of

author of his own misfortunes and

WHAT E|GH1.HOUR
LAW REALLY MEANS
RAILROAD WAGES AS WE'LL AS
RATES TO BE REGULATED BY
GOVERNMENT NOW.

Passage Of the Adamson eight-hour
bill by congress recently, at the re-
quest Of President Wilson, the me-
dunn through which a disastrous
railroad strike was averted, has nat
urally provoked wide discussion as to
the merits of the measure and what
effect it may have in the future: The
following editorial from the New
York World under the title, "The
Appeal to Caesar" covers the ground
so we'll it is reprinted here for the
benefit of those who want to become
familiar with all phases of the ques-
ton:
by the terms of the Adamson bill
the United States government as
sumes control over railroad wages as
we'll as over railroad rates.
Neither the unions nor the rail-
roads seem to realize as yet that as a
result of their eight-hour controversy
government regulation Of interstate
common carriers has entered into a
new phase.
Experimental S-Hour Day.
Both the union leaders and the
railroad presidents assume that the
Adamson bill arbitrarily establishes
an eight-hour day for train crews. II
does not. 1t establishes an expert.
mental eight-hour dGy to enable con-
gress to obtain information upon
which to tawe definite action.
by the terms of the act an eight.
hour day is to go into effect January
1. The president is to appoint com
mission to study the practical work
ings of this eight-hour day. The &C.
tivities of the commission are to cover
q period Of not less than six months
or more than nine months. The
, eight-hour day Is extended for 30
days after the report of the commits
sion, the whole question having again
become subject to the will and au'
thority Of congress.
"Out of this must necessarily come
a new railroad code under which
railroad labor no less than railroad
capital will be subject to the control
of the United States government.
"In the mean time the first duty Of
the government is to ascertain the
facts. That is what the Adamson act
provides for. That is what the presi
dents settlement proposition pro
vided for. There can be no just ant
intelligent judgment without {
knowledge of the facts, and the facts
are known to nobody. All that the
