with troops now in their mobilization
camps in the several states.''

Now, if S. G. Iverson and James
Manahan should subscribe to the plat
form of the new farmers organization
things would be interesting next year
in several quarters. Manahan is al
ready identified with the organiza-
ton, having long advocated its de-
sires and stumped North Dakota for
its candidates in the primary. With
his gifts Of oratory and knowledge Of
the Minnesota situation, it strikes us
that Manahan could pretty near pull
down most any persimmon he wanted,
even to the senatorship in succession
to Nelson. The new organization
would give Iverson chance to come
back. Governor Burnquist will need
to be reckoned with, however, but
others in less strong position will
see their ambitions forever shattered

changed in single campaign. Who

GEE NO HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
BEFORE LABOR DAY AND MAKE
EVERY PREPARATION FOR
EvEN1UAlITiES.
SITUATION Attributed TO
ARROGANCE OF EMPLOYEES
President Of Santa Fe, as Spokesman
for Presidents, Intensifies Pessi-
sengers Of Probable DeIays-
Issues Def to Brotherhoods.

Chicago, Aug. 31-Throughout the
entire country the railroads, great and
small, are gathering their forces to
oppose the strike set for next Mon.
day. The under-current of feeling re-.
ported at Washington that the catas-
trophe would yet be averted was not
reflected here among railroad men.
A summary of the situation made
by E. P. Ripley, president Of the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe, who was
member Of the committee which con-
ferred with President Wilson, as
spokesman for railroad presidents who
returned from the conferences at the
national capital, intensified the pes
simism felt here.
Sees No, Hope for Settlement.
Mr.. Ripley asserted that the rail-
roads can now see no hope OF a set
Element before Labor Day and are
making every preparation for eventu-
alities.
Practically every important railroad
In the country gave notice of embar-
goes, or was preparing to give them.
They affect perishable freight and
live stock, which at present consti-
tute about one-third of the freight
traffic on most western roads, and
passenger agents everywhere were in
structed to warn passengers of prob
able delays and not to accept any per-
Ishable freight which could not nor
mally be delivered before September
4. In some cases the date was set
tor Saturday, the End, or Sunday.
Santa Fe Head Speaks.
Mr.. Ripley gave out three state
nents. The first was issued formally
Rs the expression of the party which
returned from Washington; the Sec
Dnd was addressed to employees of the
Santa Fe and warned those who might
obey the strike order that they would
Jose all rights of seniority and Of BEN
Gifts from insurance and pension
funds. .:
The third was Mr.. Ripley's plan for
meeting the strike and an analysis of
the railroads of the controversy.
The three constituted blast of de-
6ance to the brotherhoods, to whose
unreasonable arrogance he attribut-
ed the situation.
There was some difference of opin-
lon, he said, among the officials when
they first arrived at Washington as to
what course to pursue, but they be-
came absolutely unanimous when re-
Quested to abandon arbitratiGn.

Princeton Union: Amendment No.
/ provides that out Of the sale of
school lands $3.50, 900 shall be set aside
for land clearing purposes and that
whenever man buys land which has
been in part cleared by the state he
shall pay back to the state the cost OF
the clearing in addition to the price
paid for the land, and his money then
goes on helping to clear up additional
acres. It is a proposition that should
appeal to every voter. The amend
ment makes it easier for a man with
small means to open up home, and
yet it does not take one cent out of
the taxpayers pocket. He who can
oppose a proposition Of that kind is

Mr. Hughes in his first public utter

tration severely, but he has offered ne
substitute program, has put forth ne
hint of constructive policy thai
might better conditions or increase the
country's prestige. Many republican
papers are criticising his campaign
methods and it is certain that he ha.
lost much popularity since the Chica

maintained his silence throughout tn
campaign he might have won an easy
victory in the election, for in. spite o,
his long silence he seems to have fount
