A POLITICS

FIGHTING FOR A LOST cAusE9
Cimarron News-Citizen: The writer has
of late been repeatedly questioned why the
lNews-Citizen is supporting Ralph G. Ely
for the Republican nomination for governor
and whether it wasn't a lost cause
Briefly, our position is, and that Of thou
sands OF others: It is not the issue of re-
formers but Of honest Republicans to
wrest the control of the party from its
present octopus and give the people a
square deal, both by representation and
Legislation. What the time has come for
an Immediate change in things political
and the one way 10 affect a change is to
nominate and elect men to Office who can
be relied upon.
It is not believed that Mr.. Ely IL a lost
cause; on the contrary, he is gaining In
popularity, each day, and although he
shonld be defeated at the state convention,
1T is believed that he WIFI be nominated on
AN independent ticket, il for no other reas-
ON than to prevent the election Of Bursum
Iof Romero.
In this case, should Ely lose, he stu
would be crowned with everlasting SUCCESS

Another German Coun

The feat Of the ingenious Germans IN SCI
FeretIy building q submarine freight ship and
bringing it successfully across the ocean
under the very noses Of the British sea-dogs
is one Of the most dramatic and spectacular
events since the beginning Of the war. For
sheer c~leverness 1t Is unexampIed and will
elicit the frank admiration Of he world. The
surprising thing. now hat the coup has been
accomplished, Is that nc one had ever
though of the possibility of the submarine
type as a cargo carrying ship.
For sheer mechanical genius the Germans
have captured the palm. They have brought
about a profoundly important development
in commerce and raised Notwithstanding
to the dignity of an art. There will be deep
and intense interest in seeing what meas
ures will be adopted to meet this startling
change in the situation.

The Hughes Family

(Thomas L. Logan, in Leslle's.)
IL Mr.. Hughes is elected president, there
VIII be an oldsfashioned family in the White
House after March 1. 1917 The social des-
TIMES OF the capital win be in the hands of
IA Soman who finds most other things more
interesting than soc.11 leadership. Mrs.
Hughes interests are educational. religious
ard domestic. Family life In the substan-
.ial U.ck house ON Sixteenth street radiates
more from the library than from the draw.
.ing-room. The family consists of the for.
mer Justice and Mrs. Hughes; their only
son Charles Evans Hughes. Jrs who has a
household Of his own in New York; Miss
Helen Hughes, in her early twenties; Miss
Katherine. sixteen. and Elizabeth, nine,
Mrs Hughes is a slender blue-eyed woman,
whose dark hair is slightly threaded with
gray. She is about So years Of age, but be-
cause Of the slenderhess Of her figure, h
looks ten years younger. She studied for
three years at Wells college in western New
York, which was also tn alma mater of the
wife of President Cleveland. She afterward
put in two years at Wellesley on special
courses She is essentially q college w0m-

One Aeroplane

General Pershing has been supplied with
another aeroplane because his only avail
able machine was put out of commission.
Pershng should have a dozen aeroplanes-
The announcement that the zone available
machine has been put out Of business is
a disgrace to the United States, where the
a~eropiane was invented, and which is sup
posed to lead the world in the realm OF
science and invention.
After four years of menace on the Mexi-
can border we have one ~aeroplane for .
strong punitive expedition into that country;
after four years of border friction we have
practically no aeroplanes for border patrol
We repeat that it is a disgrace to the
nation and doubly a disgrace to the incom-
petent administration which allowed such
q condition to exist.

1t Touches Everybody

There is one side OF the railroad situa
ton, In view of the impending strike, which
the public is apt to overlook.
Here are facts precisely stated by that
eminent authority, Howard Elliott of the
New Haven Railroad, published in Leslie's:
They reveal that when the railroads suf-
fer, every community suffers. Contemplate
these figures.
The railroad industry Of the United States
has 1,S4S,SS3 employees, to whom it pays
1890, OPS, 2S6 in wages.
Forty-four cents of every dollar spent by
the railroads is paid to labor; 9,244,O15 per.
sons are dependent upon the railroads for
a living.
One million WORKERS are employed in
plants furnishing railroad material and sup
plies-or 100000, counting their families,
About rs cents of each dollar received
by the railroads are paid out for materials
and supplies, the bulk Of which goes into
pay envelopes.
There nre 1900, 000 holders Of. railroad
stocks and bonds representing at least s.
100000 persons whom the railroads thus
help to support.
Railway bonds constitute 40 per cent of
all bonds held by savings banks, 50 that
every savings bank deposition is interested
in the welfare of the railroads.
Twenty million persons. over one-ifth Of
the entire population, are directly or ina
rectIy interested in the financial results Of
the railroad industry,
An aggregate Of $2.164,S5f. 210 was paid
by the railroads in 1918 for expenses. equiva-
lent to $23.50 for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The railroads are the e0untry's largest
Taxpayers. They paid s129,19i, $50 In taxes
in 1913.
The result Of railroad operations for the
fiscal year ending June Goth, 1914, com
pared with the previous fiscal year. showed
the gross earnings decreased s44.0O0.000
while expenses and taxes increased S76.
900. 900. Taxes alone Increased s12,s10. 402.
The average dividend paid by the rail-
roads In 1918 was As per cent Of tho
total capital stock. ohe-fhird paid no divi-
deRds and 10 per cent Of the total funded
debt paid no interest,
The American railroads perform q great
serz serFices per nilepf line at a cheaper rate
and nay higher wages than any other
railroads In the world
Give the railroads fair play. If you in
crosse the wages Of the employees. thsH
increase the earnings Of the railways and
don't complain if rates are higher
This is a matter that touches everv
thrifty man and woman in the United
States.
