He has used the typewriter too much with

the whole world sees that his bluff has been

In spite Of the notes back and forth the
whole question is right now where it was at
the very beginning, with the Wilson policy IF

holes.

How many of us ever stop to consider the
amazing fact that while our little two by four

thousand dollar dabs, they are letting the big
Congressman from other sections grab mil

And we, who get the little dabs, not only
have to pay taxes to replace the dab, but we
also pay more taxes to pay for the millions
that the big fellow grabs out Of the barrel.

OVERLAND CAR PREVENTS
RAILWAY DISASTER

. Driving an Overland across the
prairie at 60-mile clip, and driv-
ing the Overland at the same speed
the engine was making, overtaking
an engine running wild, enabling
the engineer to leap from the mo-
tor car to the engine, was the feat
recently performed by Miss Ada
Taylor, 17-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. j. B. Taylor, of Teninb,
Wash.
The engineer and brakemen on
the Badger Lumber Company's log
ging train were making flying
switch. The engineer slowed down
his train and threw the switch him
self. In passing over the frog the
jar threw the throttle wide open
and the locomotive took the North
ern Pacific main line with a full
head of steam.
Both the engineer and the brake
man started in futile chase. Miss
Taylor saw the wild engine as it
passed her home, and saw the men
trailing behind. Realizing the stu
ation she ran for her Overland car,
picked up the pursuing engineer,
and started after the seepding loco
motive. Overhauling it she kept
pace with it until the engineer was
was once more master of the stu
alton.

WANT BATTERY
OF ARTILLERY
First Steps for Organization of Such
Military Body Taken Last
Night.

A meeting of much Importance to
Greenwood was held at the Business
league last evening at TOO o'clock.
The primary steps toward organizing
battery of light artillery here were
taken. Major w. c. O'Farrell, senior
recruiting officer of the State Nation
al Guard, stationed here, stated the
purpose Of the meeting and pointed
out the advantages Greenwood would
enjoy through the organization of
such a military body.

organization, which would consist Of
1873 men, would bring payroll to the
city of $1,275 monthly. The estimated
cost of equipment of such battery
is $4,000. Thirty-two cavalry horses
would be stationed here for the use of
the battery.
The National Defense act passed by
the last Congress requires that one
thousand enlisted men be secured for
each Congressman in the state with
in the next five years. Two hun
dred men for each Congressman by
next July if Mississippi is to be recog-
nized under this act are necessary.
Mr.. E. R. McShane, president Of the
Business League, who acted as chair
man of the meeting will name COM
mittee later to go thoroughly into the
matter and see what can be done.
A more detailed article upon the
benefits to be derived from the organ

DELOS F. WILCOX
ON LABOR WAGES
National Municipal League Hears Dis
cussion of Plan to Relieve Labor
Disputes.
(By Associated Press.)

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 24.-State
or municipal regulation of wages,
hours and conditions Of employment
Of public utility employees, was discuss
ed in a report presented today to the
National Municipal League conven-
tion by Delos F. Wilcox, chairman Of
the Committee on Franchises, who
was for several years chief Of the
Bureau Of Franchises Of the New
York State Public Service commission
for the first district.
The interest Of the public in the
continuity Of operation Of public util-
tiles is sufficient, says the report, to
warrant the employment Of legal
measures to prevent strikes, especially
on street railway and telephone sys-
TENS, but the committee recognizes
that the right to strike cannot be tax
en- away from such employees until the
public in some way guarantees that
the employees interests as to wages,
hours Of labor and conditions of work
will be conserved.
Discussing the right Of corporations
to earn fair return, the committee
points out that in most cases public
utility services are worth more than
the consumers have to pay for them,
and that the public might we'll afford
to pay higher rates, if revenues at
existing rates were sufficient to af-
ford the employee living wage and
the corporation living income.
The committee was in favor of in
serting certain general clauses in fran
chise grants, not determining specif-
ic schedules of wages and hours, but
establishing a definite method for the
settlement of labor disputes as they
may arise.
The report continues:
"The committee does not favor the
principle Of fixing wages and hours
of labor in specific cases by legislat-
i've act without investigation. Legisla-
ton, like franchise contracts, should
concern itself primarily with the es-
of general principles and
the creation of means for the amicable
settlement of specific disputes as they
arise. The committee feels some doubt
as to the particular character of the
tribunal upon which should be conferr-
ed the authority to settle these dis
putes, zut in view of the control al
ready exercised by he public service
over rates, matter that
is vitality connected with the problem
Of wages, hours and conditions Of la
Dor, it reaches the conclusion that ex-
