This is the same Watson who is back
of the CornweL candidacy and who is
appealing for votes for the Democratic
ticket because Woodrow Wilson has
done 50 much for labor" This man
who dominates the Democratic party
! of West Virginia does not particularly
+ care about securing votes for Wilson.
! What he is after Is to entrap a vote
! for his candidate for governor.
: It IS simply ridiculous that Mr.. Wat
son should pose in the role of a man i'll
sympathy with anyone who has done
anything for labor. 1t is doing Mr.
Watson no injustice to assume that he
docs not approve government by hold
up" nor the conduct of his own private
! business by the same method He has
| never tolerated any interference with
his business by his employees. Nor does
Mr.. Watson approve paying his miners
| for ten hours work when they work for
! only eight hours a day. He disbelieves
! with supreme intensity the right Of
labor to organize, but finds no fault
with the practical working out Of that
theory when he and other capitalists
combine for their interest and wel
! fare. He is strongly opposed to sol
! lective bargaining by labor with The
| capitalists who employ It He Is
against unionism with force-guns,
brass knuckles. sling-shots, court In
functions and bull pens" when necef,
sary. He heartily faVors paying the
! lowest possible wages for the most ser
vice he can get, under working condt-
lions that are out Of all harmony with
the humane spirit of the times as 1t at
fects the employer and the employee.
He Is heartily in favor Of liberty and
license when 1t comes TO capitalists
like himself, but eternally opposed TO
very much liberty. and absolutely no
license, when 1t comes to the poor min
er who digs coal for him.
If Mr.. Watson admires the things he
claims Wilson has done to dignity, up
lift and make labor's lot happier and
more respectable, and is supporting
Mr.. Wilson largely for that reason, as
he says in his letter asking for votes,
would it not be an easy matter for him
70 prove his sincerity Of his present
position? So far as the miners in his
employ are concerned this wonderful
prosperity caused by "a war proteo-
ton" means nothing to them. They
have no share in it, They are getting
just wha; they got in normal times and
in dull times. Prosperity is merely
making things harder for them. not
easier, for it is making an unapprecia-
tive employing corporation all the
stronger over them.
Until he proves it, Mr.. Watson has
no right to ask labors support for any
political interest he may have. Neither
his record as to labor. nor his guber-
Material candidates, justify organized
labor helping them out with their po-
litical schemes.

The farmer still stands out as our
most thrifty citizen. Investigation
shows that while others are guilty of
various extravagances that undoubtedly
play their part in increasing the
cost of living of the whole people the
tiller of the soil has thus far resisted
most Establishments except that of the
automobile. Sales of automobiles,
however, show that their greatest re-
cent gains are in farming communi-
ties. The tendency to borrow money
with which to buy luxuries, which has
been noted in cities, is not OBJ
served in the farming districts, for it is
said that the number of farm mortgages
is about the same as in previous
years, while at the same time there are
more purchasers of them. Farmers
have demonstrated that time is money
and have made the automobile save
them time enough to pay for the cost of
upkeep, while at the same time it has
added to the pleasures of country
life and is expected to be an influence
in keeping the young folks on the farm.

The Medical Society of Detroit, com
posed of practically every physician of
good standing in that city, at recent
meeting voted in favor of prohibition.
In explaining to reporter for the De-
troit journal why the society did this,
DIR. Hugh Harrison said: "In the
United States 100000 persons die an
nuaIly from alcohol, more than are
hiled by wars, year in and year out.
But physicians don t need statistics to
show them the terrible evils of alec
hol and the saloon. We see if every
day. The awful crimes committed
against their children by men who
drink are too terrible to brood over.
The moderate drinker is weakening
himself to an extent that his children
may be born without a fair physical
or mental chance in life. Such children
die at the first attack of disease. .
There is a large significance in this
vote of the Detroit doctors. The pbv-
sicians, of all men, should know the
evils of alcohol.

championship. At present it looks as
If Johnny Aitken, winner of the last
Astor cup race, and Dario Resta have an

probably fight it out for first place.
Both Will drive cars that are capable of
turning laps at speed of more than 10
miles an hour, and each driver declares
his car is in shape to 90 the distance

In addition to a $4,000 purse for the
leading six cars at the finish, Harry s.
Hardness, president of the Speedway
and donor of the trophy, has set aside
$3.50 to be distributed as prizes for
the cars leading at the end of the va
nous laps after ten miles have been
run. Of these prizes the driver will take
10 per cent and the mechanician will
get 30 per cent.

THE T A RIM IRA TOR

The farm tractor is an automobile
which is minus the JOY rider attach
ment. Nobody ever tried to take JOY
ride on the corrugated iron seat of a
modern farm tractor without having
his spine caved in farther than the en-
trance to the grand canyon of Arizona.
On this account we should encourage
the sale of farm tractors to young men
with heads shaped like pecan nut and
a tendency to crowd everybody off the
right of way.
The mission of the farm tractor is to
jerk four sixteen-inch stirring plows
over cornfield without showing any
spavins, ringbones or other signs of
wear and tear. For many years the
American farmer was obliged to RELY
upon the obedient but sway backed
horse whenever he wanted to pillow
corn, and whenever the horse became
indispOsed or short of breath he had to
be laid up for repairs and tinkered with
by veterinary surgeon at So per tink

Mr.. Talbot in this volume records
the achievements of the aeroplane in
war and explains in untechnicaI
language the many services to which
they have and may be applied. Much
of the information has been received
from British, French, Russian and Ger
man sources, from official reports, and
from men who have played part in
the war in the air. Among the subjects
treated are scouting from the sky
armoured aeroplanes and battles in
the air. Mr.. Talbot thinks that aerial
service has revoIutionized strategy and
robbed the unexpected attack of half
its terrors.
