Wabbling Chauffeur

There was once a chauffeur who was
employed to drive a car wherein many
did ride. And the road whereon the car
ran was not smooth, neither was 1t
without unexpected curves and sudden
grades. And there were deep bitches
on either side of that road
Now that chauffeur, being short of
sight. kept his gaze upon the road i'm
mediately before the front wheels of
that car. nor did he look ahead, where
fore was he taken aback by unexpected
things in that road, and was perturbed d
in spirit. and in his perturbation did
make countless wabblings of the steer
ing wheel. whereby the path of that car
was sinuous even as the path OF a SER
pent in the road. And though at times
he did open the muff1er and make a
mighty noise, even at that instant did
he apply the brakes, and slight was the
progress of that car. Ever and anon
would he stop and back up. and with
hesitation would he start again. At
times would he bring the, car to rest
on the verge, yet, on the very marge of
the ditch, and there would he tarry a
while. And this hs called watchful
waiting, for he was full of words.
So that they who rode in other cars
gazed scornfully upon that car, it's
chauffeur and them who rode therein.
Then said some of them that rode in
that car: Come, let us now engage u
competent chauffeur, one who looks
ahead as far as the road permits and
who will drive with clear understand
ing of the principles of driving. For
this man bringeth us all into peril of
the ditch by his shortsightedness and
habitual wabblings and into contempt
in the eyes of men by his sinuosities."
But some there were In that car who
were ignorant of the art of driving
and had therefore taken little heed
thereof. and they said: Nay. let us
keep this man." And the others asked
'Wherefore?" And they replied: Be
cause he hath kept us out of the ditch"
And there was dissension in that car.

NO LONGER AN ADMIRER

OSWALD GARRISON WILLARD,
" of the New York Evening Post,
has contributed a valuable paper
to the political history of the Wilson
administration by writing on "The
Mystery of Woodrow Wilson" for the
North American Review. Willard was
once an ardent admirer of Wilson.
The great mystery is the change that
came over Wilson when he became
President. From a man who took
counse, with his co-workers he be-
came the most inaccessible and Sc
cluded President who has ever occu-
pied the White House. Even promi-
nent diplomats returning from their
posts abroad and ready with informa-
ton that ought to be of use to the
head of a nation found that their
advice and facts were not wanted
Cabinet meetings were discontinued
until public criticism caused resump-
tion. Meetings with representatives of
the press were abandoned and secrecy
became the chief characteristic of the
administration
Public men from over the country,
whether members of his own party or
Republicans. were not invited or well
coined to the White House. Where
other Presidents had taken almost
daily opportunity to confer with men
of affairs by entertaining them at
luncheon. Wilson maintained the ut
most privacy. This became a one
man government and Democracy be-
came a one-man party. 1t was assumed
that all wisdom and integrity and
patriotism were confined to one mans
personality and the rest of the world
was kept from contact with him.
No wonder the Wilson adminis-
tration has been such a dismal failure

Club this is true. and because
1t is they will have at least two
of the rooms in their new home at
Front and North streets completely
furnished as soon as the furniture can
be installed. The will was found in
the consciousness of one young lady,
whose personality and determination,
aided by the hearty cooperation of
some score of other young ladies, car
ried through to a successful conclu-
sion, socially and financially, the
project of amateur theatricals as a
result of which the Civic Club is the
beneficiary.
"Prunelie" should be but the fore
runner of similar productions. If the
hopes of the moving spirits do not
flag, it is more than probable that
some lasting organization may be
evolved that will assure the perma-
nence of body of young ladies in

Boston, Mass, Sept. 20. - The ef-
feet of the eight hour law on the rail-
road yard service will, of course, de-
pend on its application by the man
ayers.
In meddling with the yard service
the new law butts in on situation
that is now extremely satisfactory to
the employees. Let us remember this
to begin with. The practice of rigid
economy In the yard service after the
first of January next, and that Is what
the managers will be driven to, will
introduce all sorts of makeshifts
which are likely to stir up a hornets
nest of dissatisfaction.
In small yards, where the switch
ing is comparatively easy and by no
means continuous, there is sure to be
great deal of overtime, but in termi-
nails and big yards where switching
never ceases, every man under the
eight-hour law will be held to his
eight-hour shift.
SO far as | can make out from ex-
tensive inquiries, the law will fall far
short of yard-service expectation.
Some of the men will be satisfied; a
majority will put up a big kick. On
the Boston and Maine, for example, in
present ten-hour yard, the law will
actually mean loss of money per day
for the individual worker. The older
employees in the yard service say they
will gladly accept shorter hours and
little less pay. but the younger men,
that is, the majority, will not be will
ing to accept less money than they are
getting now without putting up a
kick.
This situation and this diagnosis
viii probably hold good all over the
country. The manager, of course,
could probably find ways to straighten
out the situation, but economy, for one
thing, forbids.
They, the managers, are not talking
for publication. Nevertheless, they
certainly hold the whiphand in this
business. They are going to make
everybody tired of the Wilson expert
ment. That is really what they mean
when they say they are going TO fight
the law. At any rate, that is what l

Not a Wilson Year

ner. Maine had its word of weight.
Now comes New Jersey. If there was
one man above another anathema to
Mr.. Wilson 1T was James L. Mar
tine. But the returns show that this
man. who was read out of the party
by the one who is now President, has
defeated the candidate of Mr.. Will
son, Attorney General John w. West
colt, for the senatorial honors.
This fact adds nothing to the toy
of Mr.. Wilson, but it must subtract
greatly from the measure of his con-
fidence in the movement of political
thought at this time.
The return of MARITIME is sufficient
indication that New Jersey democra-
cy has cast off all allegiance to the
Wilson domination. And there is no
reason to believe that this same dis
position to turn aside from him will
be shown to be general throughout
the country, and in many of the
Democratic strongholds.
This is true of the South. For
while t he Solid South may not be
seriously invaded, there is ample rea-
son to believe that the South exc
crates as much as any other section
the peculiar products of the Wilson
system of policies.
Truly. the signs OF the year are all
adverse to the hopes of Mr.. Wilson
for reelection, and New Jersey has
spoken significantly.

British For Tariff
indianapolis Starr

A trades union congress was held
recently N Birmingham, England, at
which representative of $4,000 or
ganized laborers in Great Britain
went on record in favor of protective
tarln. A resolution adopted by a
majority of more than 100000 votes
asks for the adoption of methods of
restriction or preventing the impor-
tatlon OF cheap manufactured goods
produced at lower rates of wages and
under worse labor conditions than
prevail in this country"
Those British laborers who have
nVed and worked all their lives in a
iree-trade country and under free
trade conditions are asking their par
lament to enact into law the princi-
pies for which the Republican party
stands in behalf of American labor.
Ihey do not affirm our belief in the
doctrine of tariff for the purpose
or the government" in the terms of
the platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis at st. Louis last June.
They are, in the words of the Re-
publican platform, 'in the fullest
sense for the policy of tariff protec-
tion. There is no presidential cleo
ton on in Great Britain. There is
no Adamson law discussion to throw
dust In their eyes. The Britons were
unbiased in deciding what is for the
pest interest of the workingmen.

think they mean. In other words in
the application of the law they are
going to start a rumpus among the
federated employees, and in this way
the law itself is liable to be thrown
back into the lap of Congress for re-
adjustment. OF course, this is simply
and solely my personal opinion and
horoscope.
But the real noise in the business is
going to get started when managers
and men get together and try to ad-
just. the eight-hour law to the rail-
road mans schedule
This schedule is and ALWAYS has
been law unto itself. 1t is the rail-
road mans Bible as we'll as his die
tionary. Now the basic working day
in the eight-hour law is not the basic
working day of hours and mileage in
the trainmen's schedule.
United States law is bigger than a
brotherhood schedule. The railroad
managers, in my opinion, are now go
ing to interpret the eight hour law
as an obligation as we'll as a privilege.
They are going to call upon q certain
number and class of train service en-
ployes positively to work eight hours
for eight hours pay.
Personally. ] do not think this will
be much of shock to public opinion
But when the managers do call upon
the men In any and all circumstances
as they, the managers, see fit, to work
eight hours for eight hours pay, then
l say, look out for the deluge!
1t will certainly be another condi-
tion to put over on the President for.
as the schedule is arranged to-day,
millions of dollars are being yearly
paid out by the railroads for what is
called constructive, or as I should say,
presumptive mileage, when the men
render no actual service and are paid
full rates for the simple presumption.
To sum up, then, who is going to
tackle and to bell this schedule cat
when 1t gets its back up after the first
of January? Forewarned is forearm
ed. Now is the time to study the
situation and to watch the Matching

ROOM FOR ALL

NTHER organizations ought to fol-
~ low the example of the Rotary
Club in lining up back of the
Chamber of Commerce in support of
the new hotel movement Ninety per
cent. of the Rotarians, 1t is said, will
become stockholders in the new hotel
project Not content with canvassing
their own membership the Rotarians
will carry their solicitation to hun
dreds of others.
The Rotary Club is made up of
shrewd businessmen. They are not
going into the hotel company as phil
anthropists. They see in 1t what they
believe to be a good investment. They
believe that II an outside concern is
willing to rent the hotel property on
a six per cent. guarantee on a million
dollar valuation. the hotel company
operating the hostelry itself after the
first year or two will be able to earn
substantially more than even the graf
flying dividend of six per cent
But there is more than mere money
getting behind the hotel movement.
There is civic pride and a desire that
shall rank with other cities
of the land with respect to hotel facil-
tiles as it does in public Improvements
and desirable living conditions. To
that end such influential organizations
as the railroad brotherhoods, the Civic
Club, the various secret societies which
would like to see their State and nat
ional conventions come to Harrisburg,
the Commercial Travellers and all
others who have an interest in the
welfare and proper development of
the city ought to take part in raising
funds for the new hotel.
1t would be a fine thing indeed if
the hotel could be built without either
a mortgage or bond issue and with
out going outside the immediate COM
for a dollar of the money. If
this is to be done other organizations
must get behind the Chamber and the
Rotary Club. Beyond doubt the
Chambers hotel committee would be
glad to appear before any organiza-
ton that may desire, to explain the
hotel project at length. Cooperation
along this line would be mighty good
for any society. Which
will be first to volunteer?

TRUE TO THEIR CONTRACTS
HHE most encouraging sign of th

ME most encouraging sign of the
! i times is the failure of the pro-
posed sympathetic strike in
New York City. called for the pur-
pose of helping the street car en-
ployes enforce their demands.
Nearly all of the unions involved
are under specific agreement with
their employers. A majority of them
have signed scales and are virtually
under contract to work when work
Is onered In accordance with the pro-
visions of their mutual agreements.
For these union men to have quit
work, embarrassing their EMPLOYERS
AMI running their business, would have
been an act of bad faith that would
have reacted seriously upon the men
themselves. A broken contract is a
broken contract whether it be between
businessmen or between businessmen
md employees. Nobody has any faith
the company, the man or the labor
1ion that does not keep faith. The
rongest pleas the union makes to the
oyer is that by recognizing 1t he
lardizes his working force, insures
|elf against sudden and unreason-
demands during the term of the
lie signed and is dealing with one
ponsible head instead of with
any. Take that away and every
businessman in the land would be
Opposed to unions.
If. therefore. the union workmen
of New York had walked out at the
call of the street car men they would
have broken their contracts with their
employers and would have placed
themselves in tho unenviable light of
Germany regarding a written agree
ment as no more than a scrap of
paper" They would have lost pub
lfc support and public confidence and
their scales. solemnly agreed upon
and signed as a pledge of sincerity.
would have been as worthless as Bel
gums treaty with the Kaiser.
By refusing to be stampeded into
a disastrous strike not of their own
making the union men as a whole
have demonstrated an Independence of
spirit and sturdy American honesty
OF intent that will do much to restore
the confidence of more or less doubt
ful public and have dealt at the same
time singing blow to the presump-

Villa Again
(Salt Lake Tribune)

Villa attacked Columbus, N. NJ. to
force an American invasion. He all
most accomplished his entire purpose,
but the invasion frittered away into
nothingness. Now he sees a new op-
portunfty. If he can overthrow Car
rama and establish himserr as, n de
facto ruler, he can laugh at Presi-
dent Wilson while at the same time
demanding recognition. He can rem
der nugatory all the negotiations of
Carranza's representatives and can
demand new terms from the United
States. What the moral may be we
do not pretend to say. With Presi-
dent Wilson in power it probably
would mean another period of
'watchful waiting" With Hughes in
the presidential Office Villa probably
would be called to immediate ac-
countability and forced to establish
law and order or give way to those
who could.

"Silence Is Golden"

A great deal was said about the ST.
lence of Mr.. Hughes before the Re-
publican national convention.
1t was this silence that attracted me
to Hughes. II you select man as
your banker, you do not expect him to
print declarations about his honesty
or ability: nor do you expect him to
make speeches about his Progressive
ideas. or his fairness to his patrons, Or
his Willingness to protect their inter-
ests, as experience directs. You select
him as your banker because of his rec
ord; because of his known reputation:
because of his proven ability to meet
emergencies in fair and intelligent
way.
The fact that Hughes did not en-
gage in the contest of candidates to
say the most popular things" strong
iy attracted me to him.-E. w. Howe's
Monthly. 6
