Washington, d. c., Aug. 28.
President Wilson's plan for
breaking the deadlock be-
tween the railroads and the
employees as ediscussed in tn
conference today was an eight
hour law for the railroads, ef-
fective at a date far enough In
the future to give the railroads
opportunity to prepare for it
and a law patterned after the
Canadian act, which creates a
commission of investigation
and prevents lockouts or
strikes, while an industrial dis
pute is being arbitrated.
Washington, D. c., Aug. %.
President Wilson's negotia-
tions for averting the threaten
ed nationwide railroad strike,
are in the last stage with a
break or settlement apparently
not far off.
With the executives standing
firm against conceding the
eight-hour day and the broth
erhood leaders still standing
out against arbitrating the
eight-hour question, hope OF
preventing a tie-up of the coun-
try's transportation systems
seems to lie with congress.
The president postponed his
meeting with the railroad ex-
ecutives, scheduled for 1000
o'clock this morning, until 2:3C
this afternoon, to give him
more time to confer with the
congressional leaders.
Tentative plans for a joint
session of the senate and house
to hear president Wilson ask
for legislation to prevent the
strike were discussed last night
with Senator Kern, the senate
/ leader. Other party leaders
have been consulted by Wilson

china to Take Western Advice.

An interesting development in Chi
ma Is the formation of political coun-
Gil at which foreign advisers will have
voice and vote.
These foreign advisers have hither-
to been retained at big salaries by the
Chinese government, but their advice
has seldom been sought and more sell
dom followed, unless it happened to
coincide with the plans of the Chinese
themselves.
Doctor Goodnow's famous memoran-
dunn on the advantages of a monarchy
is an example of the use that was
made of foreign advisers. He wrote
this as an academic discussion of the
question on theoretical basis. 1t was
Immediately published to the world as
proof that a distinguished republican
advocated q monarchy for China.
Generally those advisers have drawn
their salaries in return for valuable
papers on various needed reforms
which were gratefully accepted and
buried in some pigeonhole of the for
eign office.
The formation OF the new council
will bring the ministers in actual touch
with the arguments of the foreign adj
visers and will provide them with
some new ideas.

LOST ROAD MYSTERY SOLVED
Report Made When Tide Was In and
800 Miles Under Sea, Is
Explanation.

The unstable qualities of highways
in the wild parts of the West were ex-
planned in letter mailed by State En-
gineer John H. Lewis of Oregon to the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton. Mystified federal officials had
asked him to account for the disappear
ing of 800 miles of highway in Lincoln
county and for the addition of 1000
miles in Malheur county, as indicated
in the last report from Oregon
Mr.. Lewis forwarded the query to
the counties concerned r. R. Miller
Of the Lincoln county court explained
that the previous report was made
when the tide was out and there was
800 miles of good highway along the
beach. Unfortunately when the last
report was made the tide was in.
Malheur county officials explained
that highway can easily be made by
wagon train crossing the unmarked
sage brush plain.

ONE MANS POINT or VIEW
Refuses to Worry Over Conditions
That VIII Exist in Europe When
the War Is over.

Statisticians and sociologists are ex-
tremeIy pessimistic regarding mar
rage and race deterioration after the
war. The tragedy of two women of
manageable age to one man of mar
riageable age and the killing off in
the war of the best blood give rise to
this apprehension.
But along comes an optimist with a
bright and shiny outlook for race
perfection and for women with I'M
questioned physical perfections-but
sad, very sad, indeed, for the girl
whose nose happens to turn up at an
angle not consistent with the sculp-
tors original pattern or whose mouth
covers no grotto of pearls or whose
figure SHES of perfect SO" require
ments.
The basis of his optimism is that
women are chosen in marriage for
their physical projections and are left
to die in spinsterhood lacking these.
Therefore" says he, ''if we take a
community in which 5000,0 900 men and
100000 women lived before the war
began and 100000 of the men are
killed or hopelessly crippled in action
there will remain 100000 women for
100000 men to choose from. The
result will be that 100000 women
the most physically unfit-will remain
unmarried and they will Offset the
race loss of the million men killed
and crippled in war The 100000
women who are chosen. eugenically
speaking, will rebuild a healthy,
wholesome, and more physically per
feet race"

The shooting of firecrackers, the
Explosion of torpedoes, the burning
|of fireworks and the having of rip
roaring time generally OH the fourth
of July is not necessarily an indica-
ton Of patriotism. There was less OF
this on the fourth this year in Web
ster City than ever before. but it has
been noted that more flags were dis
played and more seriousness exhibit
ed in celebrations than usual. 1t is
well that the people are arriving at
the conclusion that less dangerous
methods Of celebrating the, nation S
birth are the better. Time was when
one protested against the continual
bombardment from about July first
to the seventh or eighth he was put
down as an old crank devoid of pa
triotism, but it is now generally con-
ceded that patriotism does not con-
sist of noise and buster, burned fin

JUSTICE TUCKER
CALLS THEM down
Number of Boys Given Good Lecture
for "Ducking" Little Fellows
in Boone River.

Two or three big boys were severe
ly reprimanded by Justice Tucker a
few days ago in regard to their &C
lions at the swimming pool in. the
river in the vicinity of Nokomis park.
1t seems that two or three younger
boys arrived at the swimming pool
for cool swim about the time the
older boys took their dip and the
big boys proceeded to "duck" the
younger ones in a not gentle manner.
The youngsters in the process OF
ducking swallowed several quarts,
more or less, of the water OF life OF
Boone river brand and were decid-
eddy "sick at the stomach"
Irate parents demanded that some
thing be done to the big boys who
had so little to do that they must
pass the time teasing youngsters. On
request of the park commissioners,
Justice Tucker administered the re-
buke and should the thing ever occur
again drastic measures will be taken.
