Miss Iona Custer of New York

Seven years ago a republican sec
retary of state tried to have congress
establish the office of under secretary
but the highly democratic demo-
Gratis reared up and denounced the
scheme as u patterning after the eff
fete monarchies of Europe. So, while
the job was established, the title
given to it was that of counsellor.
Now the democrats have brought in
a bill to change the name of the
place to under secretary. 1t is a
small matter, perhaps, but, taken with
all the other republican notions which
democrats nowadays are adopting, it
is worth noting.

Government by Men. Not by Law

1t has taken the new secretary of
war precious little time to get the
hang of the schoolhouse." In de-
fiance of the law he has refused to
issue guns and ammunition to a rifle
club in Arizona on the ground that
the Arizonans might be tempted to
use them against Mexicans. The rule
in this administration is that
whenever a law runs counter to the
prejudices or opinions or the political
interests of anyone in authority, the
law is to be set aside arbitrarily. Mr..
Baker soon found this out and is act
ing accordingly. The senator's from
Arizona may rave about it, but the
fact remains that we now have gov
ernment of men and not laws such as
the Fathers contemplated. This sort
of thing is called "the new freedom" !"
and all the liberty inheres in the
democrat who happens to be holding
the office temporarily.

An amendment to the sugar bill,
offered by Senator Lodge, provided
for tariff on dyestuffs, measure
of legislation which has the approval
of democrats and republicans alike,
outside of congress. The democrats
voted it down, of course The dye
makers will have to possess their
souls with patience until 1917. This
action of the senate is pretty GER
tain indication that there will be no
attempt on the part of the house
democrats to bring in a protected dye
stuffs tariff. The Hill bill will go
into the discard for this congress.

Through an error Champ Clark
found himself the other night at a
hospitable table where some republi-

reports say; and it is safe guessing
that he was much more agreeably

board where there might be a more
pronounced emphasis in favor Of the

1t is significant that in every state
where a presidential preference vote
is taken and where the state is one
whose electoral vote is essential to
win, the democratic vote invariably
falls far behind the republican vote.
1t will be the same when the conclus-
i've presidential preference vote is
taken in November.

'ADAMS0N LAW
A GOLD BRICK
Labor Lawyer in Indiana
Points Out Features
1nimical to Men

Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. 24.-The
Aoamson law, purporting to raise the
wages OF Interstate train operating
| empioyes and to establish a standard
, eight hour workday,' is a gold brick
according to an Interpretation of it's
| provisions in an opinion rendered by
| Milton L. Clawson the leading attor.
ney for organized labor in Indiana At
, torney Clawson's opinion holds:
Ihat the Adamson law assures the
railway employees ten hours pay for
eight hours work and pro. rata nav
for overtime only from Jan. |, 1917.
until thirty days after the investigating
commission submits its report next
summer
That under the Adamson law rail
way employe who completes his 100
mile run in five hours. for examine
is entitled to receive only five-eighths
of his present pay.
That under the Adamson law a rail
way employee must work at least eight
hours to obtain his present paw.
ihat after the expiration of the in
Vestlgation period the wages of rail
way employees will be subject to adjust
ment by negotiations between the rail
way companies and the unions.
Opinion Bomb Shell,
In view of the relations of Attorney
Clawson to the Unions which he has
represented in many notable wage and
other industrial disputes his opinion
has proved bombshell in the ranks
o. organized labor in Indiana and ad-
joining states and in the 'camp of
democratic leaders. It has been is
sued by the Locomotive Engineers and
Conductors Mutual. Benefit associa.
ton of Detroit for the information of
its members.
On the question Of how long the en-
ployes are to receive ten hours nav
for eight hours work the Clawson
opinion says:
The wage provided for In section 3
shall continue for period not to OK
coed eleven months after the president
has appointed his commission for in.
vestigation. and for no longer period
After the expiration of the thirty
days beyond the report of the commits
