The Times declares that Hughes
has announced in "no uncertain
terms that he is against the eight
hour day for railway men,"
We challenge the Times or any
person to prove this assertion.
The position Governor Hughes
takes is that our national legisla-
tive body cannot justly determine
the scale of wages to be paid for any
class of work to any class of la
borers. The Adamson bill to which
the Times refers is merely legisla-
ton providing that railway men shall
receive the former ten hour a day
pay for eight hours work. The rail-
way men never asked for an eight
hour day in the usual sense of the
term and under the Adamson bill
they are still required to put in a
16-hour shift if necessary.
The democrats are deliberately
trying to place a false construction
upon Mr.. Hughes attitude on this
question and such a policy is GER
tain to act as a boomerang.

The Democratic press is convinced
that II is the duty of Mr.. Hughes to
say something that will hurt his
chance of being elected.
President Wilson In his acceptance
speech may reply to Mr.. Hughes
charges, but he will not answer them.
That is al entirely different matter.
A messenger Of President Wilson
found out that Colorado women were
for the administration. No messenger,
Of course, can be blamed for making
good.
1t is reported from Washington that
the administration will ignore most
of Mr.. Hughes charges. That is very
much the easiest way for It TO answer
them
President Wilson VIII not make any

President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive to the expediency of
accepting several invitations to make

considerable shoveling to fill up the
holes that have been dug in that To-

If So there is mighty little consolation

MRS. GEORGE SCHAMP.

Amanda Hortansa Barnes-Schamp,
youngest daughter of Leonard P.
and Mary Ann Barnes, was born near
Wauseon, Ohio, April IA, 1857, and
died September "a, 1916, aged fifty
nine years, five months and ten days.
She was one of a family of twelve
children in which there were seven
brothers and five sisters. But two
of the large family survive, William
G. of Toledo and Winfield Scott of
near Delta, ., -.g.s..
September 80. 1880, she Joined for
tune in life with Mr.. Geo. Schamp, al
SO of Wauseon, and it was permitted
to them to live and to love almost
thirty-six years. Saturday of this
week would have been their wedding
anniversary. Their children Stella,
Dola and Roy, all living and all pres
ent.' bear testimony that a devoted
and true mother once was but is no
more. Their earliest memory of her
is her solicitude in teaching them to
pray and their latest memory shall
be her joy in the personal salvation.
She was a good mother and model
wife. When only Is years of age
she was converted but did not unite
with the church until December %,
1894, under the pastoral of Rev. Lam
dis, April 13, 1902, she transferred
her membership to the Methodist
church Of Wauseon and therein lived
out her days. She was an active in
terested, consistent christian, living
and serving as long as she could.
About ten years ago she was the
subject of series. of serious oper-
ations, which although they furnish
ed temporary relief, were the sure be-
ginning of the certain end About
four years ago she struck the sleeper
decline which soon brought her to
deaths door. For years as you know
fog had gathered round about her
which lifted now and then giving her
a few lucid moments. It will remain
the abiding joy of the family to re-
member that at recent and last
such moment, she said, 'tI am pre-
pared and ready to go, I know 1 am
saved and safe" The end was peace
full and she sleeps in Jesus.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
A Clear Explanation of The Eight Hour Day Contro-
versy-A Surrender of Principle Was
Held Up? Who is Benefited?
From October Review of Reviews

The thing in dispute was not, as
most people supposed, the length of
the days work, but the mode of reck-
oning pay. Although the strike
would have stopped passenger trains,
the controversy related to men oper-
ating freight trains. Generally
speaking, the days work for train
men consists in making a certain run,
from one point to another. These
runs may be regarded as averaging
something like a hundred miles. If
this mileage can be accomplished
within ten hours, the days wage. is
paid without claim for overtime. If
the run is accomplished in less than
ten hours, the trainmen have their
full days pay. But if, for one cause
or another, there is delay, and the
run takes eleven or twelve hours, the
men receive one or two hours of pro
rata overtime pay. The demand of
the men in the recent controversy was
not for shortening of the runs, but
for change in the way of comput-
ing wages. They demanded that
overtime should begin with the COM
pletion of eight hours, and that the
rate Of pay for overtime should be
so per cent. greater than the pro
rata hourly pay. To take the case
of man now earning $500 a day:
If he should happen to be out twelve
hours, he now receives $500, this in
cluding two hours overtime at so
cents an hour. If the demands of
the men were fully granted, this
worker would receive $500 for hav-
ing been out eight hours. His over
time pay would be based upon one
eighth of the days wage, and would
therefore be 621a cents plus 31A,
or SO 3-4 cents per hour. If, then,
he should be delayed, as in the case
we have already mentioned, and thus
work for twelve hours, he would re-
ceive $3.75 for overtime and $500 for

FROM THE BORDER
Letter From Fulton County Boys
Now Serving on The Texan Border
Strange ights-Grand Review
Well and Busy-The Next Move
Probably for Home.

The following letter dated at Fort
Bliss, Texas, September 18th from
oerg W. G. Figy of the 1st Ohio
Ambulance Company, brings tidings
from the Fulton county boys now do
ing military duty on the Mexican bor-
der.
Just line to the folks back home.
Perhaps 1t would surprise you if
should say that a very welcome visi-
tor arrived at Fort Bliss today from
Wauseon, The Fulton County Tri-
bune.
The boys can hardly wait until it
arrives each week.
We landed in the "Lone Star
State two weeks ago; and such a
sight, one who has never been here
cannot imagine:
Horned toads, and lizards are
plentiful, but the cactus is even more
so.
We had very pleasant trip from
Camp Willis, were on the>road four
days
1t is estimated that there are
seventy-five thousand troops here at
Ell PaSo; it sure is interesting to see
them all in action: Was most lost
the first few days that we were here
Our company took part in the
grand review last Thursday; forty
thousand troops participated; it is
claimed to be the largest since the
Civil War. We left camp at 1880
and never reached the camp again
until 6 p. m. The parade was be-
tween twenty and twenty-five miles
long and took just seven hours to
pass one point. A tiresome day, but
one not to be forgotten.
The days are very warm here, re-
minds me of July back home, but the
nights make a chap think of his 'elast
Summers wages" and woolen blank
cts.
Numerous letters from home show
parents anxiety as to their boys on
the border; in regards to their eats
and bedding I wish to assure all in
terested parties that there is no room
for their many anxieties.
Uncle Sam is taking the best OF
care Of the boys and they are we'll
happy and anxious to move on into
Mexico; but I think their next move
will be HOME.
| remain very sincerely yours,
Serg't. W. c. FIGY."

VALENTINE-TOLEDO

The Estate of Henry B. Harris will
offer at the Valentine Theatre, Tole-
do, next Monday and Tuesday nights,
Arnold DAILY in a new play entitled
"The Master. The play is a drama
of modern life in three acts. 1t was
adapted by Benjamin F. Glazer from
the play of the same name by Her
man Bahr.
The play is being staged for the
first time in Cleveland this week. 1t
stops in Toledo for two performances
and then goes to New York City. This
is the first time in many years that
this eminent star has appeared in the
Middle West.
AS with all of this writer's work
"The Master" deals with modern So
cial usage. He has set aside and in
brilliant style made caustic comment
upon the thoughts and the manners
of the folk about him. AS with all
great writer's the people whom Bahr
portrays are universal types and in
"The Master" the lesson which he
brings home applies to all lands and
all peoples of the occident.
"The Master" provides Mr.. DAILY
with the best part he has had since
he created the famous characterize
tions of George Bernard Shaw's stage
folk. He was the first player to bring
Shaw to popularity in our theatre
and it is not unlikely that the fore
sight of the Harris management will
enable him to make popular another
great writer of the continent. There
is much in common between the two
writer's Bahr and Shaw, and the
adaptor has retained in it's virility
and strength the brilliance of the
original text.
An exceptional company of play
ers will be seen in support of Mr..
Daily. The leading woman, Miss Edyth
Latimer, was for many seasons prom
inent in support of Wilson Barrett,
and she has created important parts
on the London stage for the past sew
eral years. Edward Abeles, whose
ability as a comedian ranks high will
have an opportunity to use his subtle
ty in role quite unlike anything he
has yet done. The company will al
so include Florence Oakley, Ramsay
Wallace, Edna May Oliver, William
Friedrich. Carl Eckstrom, Charles Hal
ton, Phillip Wood, George CASTOR and
others

4 PROCLAMATION
By the President of The United
States Appointing October 21st and
22nd as Days Upon Which People
of United States May Aid Syrian
and Armenian People.

The condition of the exiled Syrians
and Armenians in Turkey, Persia,
Syria and Palestine beggars descrip-
ton. Half million children are star
wing. Details of conditions are too
horrible to publish. The Presidents
Proclamation which we publish here
with in an abbreviated form, speaks
for itself, it ought to appeal to every
American, young and old, rich and
poor alike
Give, what you can through your
church or Sunday School. Don't let
your pastor or Sunday School Super
intendent side track this matter its
more important even, than new song
books or carpet for the prayer meet
ing room.
Whereas, have received from the
Senate of the United States a reso-
luton, passed July calendar day,
July 10), 1916, reading as follows:
Resolved, That appreciating the
sufferings of the Syrian people,, it
is suggested that the President of
the United States set aside a day
upon which a direct appeal to the
sympathy of all American citizens
shall be made and an opportunity
shall be given for our public-spirited
people to contribute to a much-needed
fund for the relief of the Syrian peo-
pie"
And Whereas, a resolution was
passed by the Congress of the Unit
ed States on July 18, 1916, reading
as follows:
Resolved by the Senate (the
House of Representatives concur
ring that, in view of the misery,
wretchedness and hardships which
these people are suffering, the Presi-
dent of the United States be respect
fully asked to designate day on
which the citizens of this country
may give expression to their SYM
pathy by contributing to the funds
now being raised for the relief of
the Armenians in the belligerent
countries"
And Whereas, I feel confident that
the people of the United States will
be moved to aid these people stricken
by war, famine and disease;
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States, in
compliance with the said suggestion
of the Senate, and the said requests
of the Congress thereof, do appoint
and proclaim Saturday, October 21,
and Sunday, October %, 1916, as
joint days upon which the people of
the United States may make such
contributions as they feel disposed
for the aid of the stricken Syrian
and Armenian peoples.
Tn Witness whereof have here-
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this thirty-frst day Of August, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and sixteen, and of the In
dependence of the United States the
one hundred and forty-frst.

$8.75 instead Of the $500 which he
received at present.
The railroad companies were will
ing to arbitrate all the mems de-
mands without presenting any Of
their own onsetting claims. They
were further willing to have Presi-
dent Wilson name all the arbitrators.
But the brotherhood were obdurate
and would arbitrate on no terms
whatsoever. President Wilson seems
to have been greatly impressed by the
calamity that the country would SUI
fer if the brotherhoods actually went
On strike. He tried to persuade the
railroad presidents to concede the
eight hour basis, in order to avert
the calamity. They stood firmly,
however, for arbitration as against
the yielding to "hold up" It was
the Presidents golden opportunity to
speak firmly and strongly for arbi-
tration. If he had done this, there
would not, in our opinion, have been
a strike? But even if a strike had
been attempted, it would have been
fiat failure, because wholly without
shadow of excuse, and condemned
by an outraged public The men were
not acting in the interest Of labor;
much less in the interest Of Union
ism. 1t was a sad spectacle to see
the great organizations that had once
been led by wiser men, thus domin-
ated by headstrong and arbitrary
counsels. 1t was not a question of
the reasonableness of the things the
men desired, but Of the methods to
be used in obtaining them. Nor was
it the railroad companies that were
being held up, but the American Pub
lie as a whole There was nothing
requiring special haste. The issues
involved could await thorough investi-
cation

next regular meeting.
A visitor at the Council last Mon
day evening was a Mr.. Durrell, Sani-
tary Engineer of the State Board Of
Health who had spent the day in
Wauseon looking over the sewer sit
uation, probably preliminary to the
acceptance on the part of the State
Board of the new sewer plat of Wau-
seon, recently submitted to that
Board.
Mr.. Durrell stated that the State
Board of Health considered the solu-
ton of the problem of an adequate
water supply for Wauseon as of first
Importance to our village and init
mated that the Board would cooper
ate with local officials toward the So
luton of that problem.
Just what the solution would be
Mr.. Durrell did not state but several
different lines were suggested by him.

FOR COURT OF APPEALS

Judge Bernard F. Brough, who is
candidate for Judge of the Court
of Appeals, is a man who would bring
to that important office a highly
specialized ability along judicial
lines.
Although still young mamie is
forty-five years of age-he has had
continuous service on the bench since
1905, when he was appointed Judge
of the Toledo Police Court by Cover
nor Herrick.
1t is not too much to say that in
the eleven Intervening years, during
ten of which he has been Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas, Judge
Brough has received training given
to few jurists of his age.
It is equally true that this train
ing by the State should now prove of
the highest advantage to the State;
in the wise and expeditions disposal
of causes brought to so important
tribunal as the Court of Appeals.
Judge Brough is a mans man. He
is neither recluse nor bookworn,
but brings to his daily work a mind
freshened and kept up to date by
contact with both business and legal
circles. He is a great out-of-doors
man, who works hard and plays hard,
thus preserving the physical balance
that is necessary if professional abil-
ity is to be kept unhampered by
bodily limitations.
After his graduation from the To
ledo High School in 1889, he four
years later, received his degree from
the Law Department of the Universe
ty of Michigan.
Twelve years of general law prac-
tice followed, which fitted him ad-
mirably for the position of Assistant
City Solicitor and Police Prosecutor.
While serving in this capacity in
1905 he was appointed Judge of the
Police Court by Governor Herrick to
fill vacancy, and one year later was
elected Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas.
At the conclusion, of his first term
in 1912, he was reelected and is still
serving.
Judge Brough was the son of Vet.
eran of the Civil War, and is him.
