THE MAN OF THE HOUR

T HE strike situation has
" reached a stage that is
extremely critical. The
trainmen by an almost unani-
nous vote have instructed
their leaders to secure an eight
hour day or else order a strike.
On the other hand the railroad
managers and presidents have
taken an obstinate stand
against the eight hour pro-
posal. They seem to be against
it even though they have a
chance to secure legislation
that would permit them to Sc
cure higher rates for freight
handling if future facts should
justify an increase. The own
ers seem bent upon forcing the
men to strike.
If a strike should come no
man alive knows what it may
bring. 1t will be the most stu
pendous strike in the history of
the world. 1t will tie up prac-
tically all the railroad lines of
the country, paralizing indus
try and commerce. Coming
Just at crop moving time it will
hit the northwest hard.
At this time the hope of the
country rests with the man in
the White House. If a strike
is to be averted he and he alone
can accomplish the task. The
brightest ray in the present
situation comes from the fact
he is discussing with congress
slonal leaders the subject Of
legislation for the purpose of
preventing the strike or stop
ping it if it occurs. The next
best thing in the situation is
the fact there has been team
work between the White
House and congress. The pres
ident is the leader and the leg
islators generally follow his
guidance. If they will do so
now we may be saved from a
disasterous and doubtless
bloody industrial war.
President Wilson is the man
of the hour.

WESTERN COWBOY WILL
HARDLY co EAST AGAIN

1T is safe to predict that the east
will never again be able to entice con-
testants unless they send the cash
west first, and let the boys see the
color of it" is the way the Billboard
sums up an article telling of the at
tempts to secure for the prize winners
at the New York wild west show their
money.
According to the last issue of that
publication, the winners received only
"a per cent of their winnings, though
steps have been taken to try to Sc
cure for them the balance. Charles
Irwin, who furnished big part Of
the stock at the show, began staging
benefits on profit-sharing basis but,
according to the Billboard, "it is
doubtful if enough will materialize
to pay the feed bills"
"As matters now stand" says that
showman's publication, "Sheepshead
Bay Speedway is much in disrepute
and criminal action against some Of
its officers is hinted at"
Speaking of the "Shan-Kive and
Round-Up" at Chicago, the Billboard
says that as contest 1t failed to live
up 70 the expectations and require
ments Of contestants and rangemen
and as a show came in for more or
less criticism from Snowman

THE TIDE HAS TURNED

II n the present war the Bal
kan nations more than
anything else are trying
to look out for their own hides.
In a considerable measure the
same is true Of Italy. Those
nations wish to get what they
can out of the war and to do so
they must be upon the win
ming side. Though hard press
ed to take sides Roumania has
until now kept out of the fray.
The fact the die has at last
been cast with the allies shows
in unmistakable manner that
the Roumanian view is that
Germany cannot win. The turn
in the lane has come and Rou-
mania has decided to help
boost the central powers down
the toboggan.

DEWEY'S VIEW OF
DANIELS

m YER since JOsephus Dan
" iels, secretary Of the navy
gave the armor trust
a hint the country might make
its own armor plate he has
been subjected to a torrent of
ridicule and abuse. This was
further heightened by his
famous order prohibiting naval
officers from using liquor
while on duty-an order which
by the way is in force with all
European navieS.
If the judgment of the comic
paper artists or even of the
tory editorial writer's is to be
relied upon Mr.. Daniels is not a
capable secretary of the navy
But there is a better author
ity on the navy than these.
Admiral Dewey knows more
about the American navy than
90 the Daniels detractors. He
is our greatest naval hero and
is head of the general naval
board.
Admiral Dewey emphatical-
" denies the partisan accusa-
ton that Secretary Daniels has
demoralized the navy. He
strongly commends Daniels
administration and asserts that
if has resulted in an improve
ment in enlistment, in disci-
pline, in strength and equip
ment Of ships, and in gunnery.
He shows that the senate ma
val bill recently passed, will
make the American navy the
second in the world in strength
and in modern proportion OF
the various types Of vessels.
And his reasons why it should
be brought up to this standard,
IL spite Of the cost. should sat
isfy those who have been in
clined to protest and to look
upon the move for naval pre-
paredness as unnecessary.
Summing up, Admiral Dew
ey says:
Il want the people Of the
United States to know that it
il all right with the navy.
There is no decentralization, no
lack of discipline. no absence
of enthusiasm. The navy has
never failed America. 1t will
not fail"
Admiral Dewey's statement
will carry weight because peo-
pie know he knows whereof he
speaks and has the courage 10
speak his convictions.

THE DANISH ISLANDS

~ HE rejection of the Upper
VI House of the Parliament
at Copenhagen of the
proposed sale of the Danish
islands in the Antilles to the
United States is not to be taken
as conclusive, says the Boston
Post. There is just now a tur-
moiI of political antagonisms
in that country, in which suf-
ficient consideration of this
very favorable offer seems to
have been neglected. The
Lower House, the Folkething,
chosen directly by the people
and having about twice as
many numbers as the Lands
thing, stand for the acceptance
of the treaty.
Indeed, it would be a good
bargain for Denmark. Those
small islands show little profit
for their Danish owners, while
desirable for the United States
because Of contiguity to our
other possessions in that lati-
tude. A new Parliament for
Denmark is to be elected this
autumn, and the matter will
come before that body with
reasonable prospects of favor
able action.

WAR DECORATION
A GREAT ASSET

Paris, Nov. 4.-The psychology Of
more obviously every day in Paris life;
it is even getting into the police
courts. The wearers of them have
multiplied rapidly since the beginning
of the battles Of Verdun and the
Somme, and increasing numbers of
them are seen on the lapels of snen
who have been mustered out and have
reappeared in civilian attire, but their
prestige is undiminishei. The crosa
of the legion or honor. the military
medal and the war cross are shown a
difference that amounts almost to Z
pass-key to every place and to every
thing; to illegitimate wearers of them
1t amounts to a sort of stock in
trace.
Tramway or subway passengers
who, contrary to the traditional
French politeness, were remarkably
selfish as to seats before the war, now
give way to the soldier with a medal
on his breast or with a ribbon in ! Is
buttonhole, although they still let
women stand. This Difference is not
always acceptable. A wounded man is
likely to profit from the sacrifice, but
the valid man, home on leave, seems
to take it as a sort of superfiuous
manifestation on the part of the
civilian, and resents the supposition
that there may be some physical rea-
son for it. One of them accepted a
seat offered by civilian in the sub
way the other day, but instead of oc-
cupying it himself furnished double
object lesson by offering it in his turn
to a woman.
The sympathy that goes spontane-
ously to MANNED soldiers has become
the capital of men who lost legs or
arms in accidents or brawls not even
remotely connected with war. For a
few francs they can buy any one or
all three of the decoration ribbons at
any one of the dozens of shops that
are now doing a thriving trade with
the mutilated soldiers who have been
mustered out Most of them use the
ribbons as a cover for simple begging,
others for swindling, some to get work
and nat few in mere vain and
fraudulent show.
