THE GREAT MORAL ISSUE

The prohibition issue is here, and
here to stay until the saloon is driven
out of the United States. 1t is the
great moral issue Of the generation and
the democratic party is the party to
lead theffght in the nation.
The election just held has unex-
pectedly released the party of any OBJ
legation it may have been under to the
liquor interests. They threw their in
luence to the republican ticket and
went down to defeat with it. And the
democratic bosses lie in the same dis
honored grave. They must confess
that either they were really against
the president or that they can not de-
liver the vote which they claim to con-
troll. Which position will they take !?
Did they betray the party or are they
impotent to aid.
lie the democrats begin work at
once to secure control of the demo-
cratic organization, state and national.
Nearly half the states are now dry,
and the number viii be swelled to
nearly, if not quite, thirty before 1920.
To take the side of the saloon is to in
vite disastrous defeat. To take the
side of the home is to draw to the par

The Railroad Strike.

There is deep seated anxiety
about the threatened strike, which
would stop every passenger anc
freight train on 225 railway sys
TENS of the United States. The
aggregate of financial losses. In
the event of a strike, will run into
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Thousands of industries through.
out the country will be paraIYzed
labor made idle. food famines will
develop within week. untold
;, fering will result. And al
this because Is per cent of the
employees are demanding ten hours
pay for eight hours work, which
would involve'au increase amount
Ing to 500, 900, 900 per annum,
for the whole country. These
wages increased to men, already
so highly paid, that their net In
come is greater than that of the
average business or professional
man. Therefore the railroad man
ayers deem it highly imperative
that, if any increases are to be
made the responsibility for same
be placed In the hands of some
tribunal representing public In
terests.
1t seems truly incredible that
the best paid group Of railroad
employees. who have repeatedly
received increases in the last few
years, who have been generously
cared for in sickness and old age,
could raise this monstrous issue,
and at such time of unrest to
the entire nation.
One of the most shameless and
disgusting phases of the situation
is 10 see small, mean men who
have striven and schemed for years
to crawl into railroad service, into
paving positions they are barely
competent to hold, rejoicing and
jubilating over the discontinue OF
the gracious hand that feeds them
and which they bite aud rend.
Pressed iu little brief authority
these petty men tyranize over the
public, and the patrons of the
mighty road. under whose pro
lection they crouch, and which
they misrepresent. ThankIess be-
yond words, these ingrates figure
on the dividends of the company,
and involve the United States in
woe trying the right of property
with those who have clothed and
sheltered them.
