Had the public's chief servant be-
frayed his trust? Had Presiden
Wilson sought to- eNtort from the
public the largest corruption fund
ever heard Of with with which to
buy the votes OF the railroad broth
erhoods? Why did he not wait an
hour to hear the other side before
deciding? What was, the mysterious
trick w their sleeve OF which the
brotherhood chiefs Eept boasting ali
he months the President kept re-
fuslng 10 investigate? Why did the
president and brotherhcode use the
mis- eading term "eight-hour day to
1eFef up the vase increase? II they
wanted the exact truth known thea
certainly would have done so.
President Wilson was the chief
servant Of the people and yet tho
peoples interest was not represent
ed. The brotherhoods were to get the
peoples mony and their chiefs are
now telling them to vote for Presi-
dent Wilson. The public pays the
piper
And what are the people going to

Westerville has discovered it has
somebody to kick to.
You might say there are more
complaints under this form of gov
ernment than there We're under the
old and tell the TRUTH said Mr.
Bl1nn> .but it's because the people
know whom to 80 to to complain and
whom to blame if things are not at

they complained to one department
and the chances ere they were re-
ferred to somebody else.''

manager plan in Westerville finds
the village in better financial shape
than most Ohio municipalities, ac-
cording to Mr.. Blinn, for it will fin

thing like $4,000 from $4,000 ap-

mittee. THE charge that has been
made that ii was impossible TO put

W. G. Lee, president of the Broth

asked by a member OF the Senate
Committee whether the nis-nameG

nat the hours Of labor, replied.
oh, it cannot.
Yet to mislead the public, this has
been called an eight-hour law:

in time and character of labor
Some OF them work but six and

three as holiday. Some especially
favored ones make over $4,000 year

consider easy as compared With his
own.
Two engineers each made more in
Two weeks than their superior officer
received in a month. Often two
days pay is earned by days work
that any laborer would consider half
loafing.
The men are paid by the trip and
hours are merely considered in cal
eulating extras and overtime.
II a wreck or storm delays train
so that man is kept on duty over
ten hours, he is paid for overtime,
and some Of the oldest employees,
who are given choice of runs, choose
the longest runs on which there is
most chance Of overtime pay.
Ii man completes his run in four
hours, he gets full days pay. II
called on for extras, he would get a
second days pay. Suppose a freight
crew were asked to take couple of
cars to a mill siding before taking
their regular train out, they would
get an extra days pay through the

Ii a freight engineer is asked to
uncouple his engine from his train
and pull some other cars of al
wrecked train out of the way, he gets
an extra days pay. His whole reg

pleted under eight hours, but he
would pocket two days pay.

MORE EXPENSIVE
To DESTROY CITY
THAN TO BUILD IT

Bombardment by German long range
15-inch guns has a greater moral than
material effect on the towns bombarded
writes correspondent from France.
This is due to the great amount of
waste space in towns, for she'll has
just as much of chance of hitting q
vacant lot as building. The Germans
themselves, in the opinion of the writer,
know how little their material damage
their shells do, for after Smelling these
towns, they generally follow up with
an air raid. But they know it's moral
results. The main drawback sof these
commandments of open towns is, from
the German point of view, their ex-
pense. These great shells run in prices
up to several thousand dollars each.
One lesson of the war is that it costs
more to destroy a village than to build
it.
