the Cd Regiment had hard time of it
last night at Leon Springs, where they
engaged in maneuvers. They are quar-

Hereafter the District soldiers will have
a sheltered place in which to battle. for

IN TEXAS NORTHER
Sudden Drop in Temperature
and Cold Rain Hit B0r-
! der Camp.
REGIMENT PERFORMS WELL
BY j. CROSBY MCCARTHY,
Staff Correspondent.


CAMP WILSON, District of Columbia
National Guard Camp. San Antonio.
Tex, November 22-Following a day
of summer temperature. a norther
swept over this section of the country
last night, and this morning the mill
tiamen from the District of Columbia
are walking ankle deep in gumbo mud
and shivering in their sweaters and
overcoats. Drills have been postponed
because of the condition of the drill
field.
The District troops were engaged in
an outpost maneuver problem last
night when the norther hit here. The
regiment from the National Capital,
operating as a battalion of war
strength under the command of Maj
Joseph F. Hodgson. was defending the
I'd Brigade camp, while the 4th Illinois
was supposed to be in advance of an
enemy located mile east of camp.
Both forces put outposts in the field
and operated against each other.
Drop of Twenty Degrees.
The official weather bureau Their
mometer in San Antonio showed the
temperature to be 80 degrees when
the problem was started at o'clock.
The soldiers were perspiring as they
hurried about from one position to
another. About a half-hour later a
cold wind started to blow, and the tenn
perature began to fall rapidly. In a
few minutes the soldiers were shiver-
ing, a drop of about 20 degrees hav-
ing taken place. Then it began to rain
and the troops were ordered back to
camp on run.
The militi amen had barely reached
their tents when a gale set in.
Many of the tent flies were blown
down and some of the tents collapsed
part way. The rainfall was the heavi-
est the militiamen from the District
had seen since arriving here. 1t con-
tinued until after midnight. and the
temperature dropped until the forty
point was reached. This morning it is
clear and still cold.

WHERE THE FARMER COMES In
From the Minneapolis Tribune:

From the Minneapolis Tribune:
When "Tama jim" Wilson, that
hard-headed son of Scotland, says any
thing about the American farmer, the
sons of soil are quite likely to take no.
tice. He was so years old a month or
so ago. He began farming 55 years
ago. He was in the cabinet of three
presidents-McXinley, Roosevelt and
Taft as Secretary of Agriculture. 1t
is fair to presume that one of his years
has no ambition to get back into the
harness of public life. 1t also is fair
to presume that he speaks as an un-
biased American citizen when he de-
clares that upon the farmers of this
country will fall the burden of paying
the 0,000, 900 bill which the president
and his servlle congress have passed
along to the people with the Adams on
law.
The former cabinet member says that
the farmer Is willing to take his share
of any fair burden, but adds that he
will get good deal more than is COM
ing to him in the matter of bill paying
as result of the operation of the Ad-
amson act. The railways will get the
$50, ,000 900 from the shippers, he says,
and the farmer constitute majority
of the shippers. The man who tills
the aoil will go down in his pockets 10
help pay ten hours wages for eight
hours work for that fifth of the rail
road employees who are already re-
ceiving much higher wages than the
other four-fifths. He will work from
sunrise to sunset. No eight hours i'm
it for the farmer.
"The farmers" says Mr.. Wilson,
'are unorganized; unable to restrict
their labor to eight hours a day; and
obliged to sell the product of their la
Dor at prices fixed by the ordinary in
fuences of sueply and demand. 1t is
entirely antagonistic to their interests
to have small group of men employed
by the railroads allowed to fix their
pay for carrying the produce of the
country at the cost of the producers
and consumers.
To other classes besides the farmer
is coming home the true import of the
Adamson law and the manner of it's
enactment. The electorate is learning
that the measure does not test high in
human welfare ingredients, but that
it doest big in political chicanery.

WILSON'S "STAGE MONEY"
rom the Des Moines Capital:

From the Des Moines Capital:
President Wilson thinks he has ac-
complished wonders in the direction of
aiding American business. He brags
about the federal reserve banking sys-
TEN which originated with the late
Senator Aldrich and which is more of
a Republican than a Democratic. meas
ure. But the federal banking reserve
system is on trial The government
compelled the bankers to put up the
capital stock, just as the government
compelled the railroads to serve the
parcel post system withou; extra pay.
The profit of the federal reserve bank
ing system at the present time is
"stage money" 1t is imaginative. It
is the work of bookkeeping.
The president Dragged that he has
revived the American merchant mar
inc. He secured an appropriation of
$50, ,000,000 with which to buy ships
to be operated by the government or
TO be leased to somebody else to be op-
Grated. Nothing has yet been done.
This is more "stage money" The
Wilson merchant marine will be like
an old Iowa grange storo. The store
was all right until the wholesale mer-
chant demanded pay for his goods.
The munition factories; the makers
of saddles and harness; the growers of
foods for the European soldiers-are
all being enriched by ''stage money"
They are not holding onto much of it.
They are not establishing banks in
South America to help American trade.
Free trade always dealt in stage mon
ey. Free trade never established new
American factory nor gave an extra
days work to any mechanic. Free
is always going to do something and
never does it.
Free trade is like the man who is al
ways going to strike something rich;
he lives in that dream all his life and
dies without a penny in his pocket.
Free trade brings imaginative bless
ings. At the present time it is load
ing the rockets of the American people
with stage money.
