NEUTRALITY VS.. WAR.

At this time one hears and reads
much of the neutrality question and the
enemies Of democracy are attacking
President Wilson on his policy as be-
ing weakened, and much more will
be heard as the contest wakes hotter,
that it seems well to draw attention
to both sides of the question, and no
better way expresses what would have
happened had Wilson plunged us into
war than to quote a few extracts from
cred at the Democratic convention at
st. Louis, Mo. Defending President
Wilson g policy Of neutrality, he said:
''This policy may not satisfy those
who revel in destruction and find pleas
ure in despair. It may not satisfy the
fre-eater or the swashbuckler; but it
does satisfy those who wors ship at the
altar Of the God Of Peace. It does salts
fy the mothers of the land at whose
hearth and fire-side no jingoistic war
has placed an empty chair. It does sati :
fly the daughters of this land from
whom buster and brag has sent no iv,
ing brother to the dissolution of the
grave. It does satisfy the fathers OF
this land and the sons Of this land who
will fight for our flag and die fol
our flag when reason primes the rifle
when honor draws the sword, when JUS
tice breathes blessing on the stan
dards they uphold
Showing that through the ages there
have been those who, from some mis-
guided ideals c1amor for war at any
price. Mr.. Glynn points out that his

GREAT DIPLOMACY.

President Wilson averted the rail-
road strike after using every argument
and all persuasion possible with both
the union and the railroad magnates.
Ten days was spent in earnest confer
ence with the president trying to make
peace between them, but neither would
unbend, each contending that their side
only was the just one, and that the
other had no case. Finally, in the
interest Of the people, and the we'll
were his parting words at the last con-
ference:
every well, gentlemen, you will not
consider the people who will be the
sufferers. You railroad executives
talk of large things, but have a mar
row vision, while you, men Of the union,
are determined to carry your point,
even at the cost Of suffering Of many
of your own members. Neither of you
will agree upon terms, therefore, I will
handle the affair temporarily, and the
representatives Of the country shall de-
eide the question:
The Adamson bill resulted. By some
this is called the eight-hour law, but
"Collier 81 goes further and calls it
the IS per cent. increase law, whereas.
in fact, it is the twelve and half hour
law, in which freight trains ut has n }
effect upon passenger service) shall
keep schedule of making the hun
dred miles, a days work for freight
trains, in eight hours. On many roads
this has been in vogue for some time,
but the idea is to eliminate holding
the men hour after hour on side tracks
until it takes, in some instances, six
teen to twenty hours to make the SEIZED
tie, which should easily be made in
eight hours.
, By averting the strike, though it is a
temporary measure, at time when
! freights are moving, when merchants
.. require delivery Of their fall stocks
? the farmers must move thier crops anC
manufacturers must have raw mater
ial to keep their plants running, was
the greatest piece of craftsmanship anc

plished of an insular character.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BUSY

The county commissioners have had
q very busy session this month. Many
important questions have demanded
their attention. The questions con-
cerning the roads and the appoint
ment Of road overseers and the gen
eral roadmaster for the county have
taken considerable of their time and
thought.
The appointment of Billy"
Springer Of Bayfield, has met the gen
eral approval of the people of the
county. Mr.. Springer has been able
because Of his unusual ability along
the road building line to keep his
section in such good condition that
he has received the hearty approval
Of all who travel the roads of the
county.
II Mr.. Springer can keep all the
highways Of the county in the good
condition that he has kept the roads
in his district he will save the peo-
pie Of this county thousands of dol
lars and any amount of inconven-
ience which can not be measured in
dollars and cents.
Besides the road work the COM
missioners have caused to be made
a thoro renovation of the county jail
which for some time, until recently
has ben empty. The sanitation work
lat tho Jail is commendablc and the
county will now be in better posi-
ftion to take care Of its inmates in
that institution than it has been fol
soma time.
