Editorial Opinion
THREAT OF A RAILWAY STRIKE.

THREAT OF 4 RAILWAY STRIKE.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The present demand OF the four
Brotherhoods Of Locomotive Engl-
neers, Locomotive Firemen and En-
gmemen, Railway Conductors and
Railroad Trainmen ignores the fact
that they are the best paid employees
i'm the railroad service--in fact, the
best paid in all the country's indus
tries-while large classes of unorgan-
lied railway employees are admitted
ly receiving wages that are too low.
The question is not one OF shorter
hours. That plea is hypocritical. II
Is a question of punitive overtime"
The four unions have already eXacted
the provision that il a man is called
for duty and performs any service,
even fifteen minutes service. he shall
receive a days pay. A run OF ten
hours is equivalent TO a day, and ex-
ira pay is stipulated il the run exceeds
ten hours. But the demand of the
unions is not to reduce the length Of
runs. That is impossible Their
hours will remain the same, but their
demand is for pay on the basis Of an
eight-hour day. with pay and half
for time worked over eight hours.
It is a demand eminently ht for
arbitration. The threat Of enforcing
It without arbitration and at the ex-
pense OF unspeakahle distress TO a
population Of 1OO,OOo.OOO, goes to
show TO what pitch Of arrogance and
menace the irresponsible power
welded by the labor chieftains has
brought them. For a precedent in this
country we must go back TO the coal
strike OF 1902. when the President oi
the United States interveIied. Here
we come to the pass that we must
rely on the interposition Of an extra
legal power 10 safeguard the nation
from injury.

A LETTER FULL OF
VALUABLE HINTS

Recent there was published in
S. J. Triplett's newsy St. Cloud Trib-
une a letter from w. w. Young of
Liberty, Ohio, which sets forth in a
concise and convincing way the val
ue CT nespaper to a community. 1t
is not doubted that this letter IS en-
tirely voluntary because Editor Trip
lett or any other editor could not
afford to place a price on such a
contribution. Every paper in the
State ought to reproduce this letter
as Il sort of sermon on advertising
from one who has practical expert
encn and who knows the value, not
only to the individual advertiser but
to the community. This is how the
letter reads:

Editor St. Cloud Tribune.
Dear Sir: | am pleased to notice
an increase in local advertising in
your paper but it should be many
times what it is. If every business

ment. it would not only bring most
profitable results to each, but would
do more to build up St. Cloud than
any other one thing. 1t would put

TEXAS THRIFT

Germany isn't the only place
where thrift, inspired by war con-
ditions, has worked miracles. Texas
is just now reckoning her achieve
ments with justifiahle satisfaction
The year 1914 as everybody
knows, was a bad one for Texas, as
an immense cotton crop that she
couldn't sell at anywhere near the
cost Of production, and she hadn't
much of anything else to speak Of
At the beginning of the new year
the 1915 crop to be financed, Texas
began to do some serious thinking.
AS result, the Texas Industrial
Congless set out call for thrift.
1t gave sensible advice about re-
ducing the cotton acreage and plant
ing food crops, and raising pigs,
poultry and dairy products but the
MUS eHpHdoiS was VI pain Ill III
The Texas farmer was urged to get
along on as little as possible, and to
make the fullest use of his money,
and his equipment and his abor.
And he did.
The 1915 crop was small one,
bringing only fair price and less
than the average profit. But infor-
nation gathered by the Texas In
dustrial Congress shows that Texas
is today in as good condition as if
there had been no untoWard condi-
lions and no slump in the last two
years. The farmers generally re-
port that they have paid the debts
of 1914 and 1915 and have enough
feed for next year, and surprising
ly large number of them have mon
ey in the bank
Some of the other Southern States
may make as good showing when
the returns are all in, but at any
rate there is no question about the
defeat that Texas has administered
to Old General Adversely. AS a re-
suit of her fight she has the basis
and permanent prosperity, and has

SHOULD BE RAISING
100000 CATTLE

Ten million live stock should be
growing in Florida and 10000, 900
acres OF availabel land in Florida
should be utilized for that purpose,
in the opinion of the Commissioner
of Agriculture at Tallahassee. Not
only should this vast acreage be used
for tho grazing of the cattle. but for
the raising of forage crops as well,
in his opinion.
The Florida Metropolis has been
endeavoring for some time TO i'm
press the possibilities for the de-
velonment of "A great industry in
cattle raising in this State. The
advantage for raising cattle, hogs
and stock in Florida are almost I'M
eNcalied in the country. The State
is peculiarly fitted in many re-
spects and Florida is losing a real
opportunity when it does not grasp
thes possibilities and work out
plans toward the development of an
industry that will mean millions
upon millions of dollars to her REQ
pie The doctrine Of cattle raising
and the raising of forage crops is
beino preached extensively by the
collie of Agriculture at Gaines
villo as well rs all others who have
been brought TO a realization of the
advantages that are open to the pub

and q new generation, to whom the
old party war cries, inspired by sec
tional prejudice, pure and simple,
have no vital meaning, demands
something better than the husks of

of which to make a modern party is
