THE NATION WIDE BUSINESS BUILDER
A WILSON SUPPORTER

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
influential newspapers in New Eng
land, las come out, in no uncertain
terms, tor the le election of Wood
row Wilson.
In choosing President Wilson as its
candidate, the Springfield Republican
says:
Mr.. Wilson, in the face OF difficult
ties and criticism such as have con-
fronted no president since Lincoln,
has accomplished much. To declare
his foreign policy futile is idle. The
outstanding fact is that Mr.. Wilson,
without bringing the United States
into war, has forced a recognition of
neutral right.
with relation to Mexico, Mr.. Will
son has grasped the underlying prin-
ciple that we shall not have per-
manently peaceful neighbor to the
south of us until the most patent
wrongs under which the masses of
the Mexican people have suffered are
righted through their own efforts.
Under Mr. Wilson'S leadership
the Democratic party is today bet
ter instrument of progressive gov
ernment than in a generation, If not
in its entire history, and, what is
more to the point, better instru-
ment, in the opinion of this paper,
than the Republican party promises
! at this moment 80 became uada! Mr..
Hughes. Various episodes have en-
phasiZed the fact that the Democra-
tic party has had comparatively few
| outstanding leaders of national repu-
| tation. But it is one of the chief
items of Mr. Wilson s leadership that
during his term progressive and en-
llghtened Democrats such as Newton
! ID. naher. secretary of war, have been
| brought more and more to the front
while the reaCti0naries have been
sent more and more to the rear. The
| pdllt IDS DEcli lil tlaIH bB ftbi ~ i'ttS
gained. But III spite of any compar-
ative lack of leaders, the Democrats
meeting in caucus, whenever caucus
has been necessary, have threshed
things out and determined to sup
port, one after another, a long series
OF soundly constructive legislative
measures of historic importance
notable among them in the income
tax, the banking and currency act
the rural credits act, the Child labor
| bill, the federal unemployment ser
| vice, the humanitarian features OF
the seamen's act and the provision
| for vocational training for civil life
while in the army. To achieve such
record without leaders, If it were
| literally true that the Democrats had
| had no leaders, would be in itself a
triumph of democracy and better
promise than any amount OF leader
| snip stamped with the political con
ceptions of Boies Penrose.

SECOND COMMISSIONER
TO VISIT RESERVATION

The oldest citizens of the Lower
Brnle Reservation say that Commits
sioner Sells is the second Commits :
sioner of Indian Affairs to set foot on
this reservation. A long time ago
Commissioner Brown visited this
agency for few hours.
Commissioner Sells made close
inspection OF the Agency and school,,
and drove more than hundred miles
visiting from house to house on the
reservation. He shook hands with
practically every Indian man, wo-
man and child on the reservation,
and came back the second time and
met and talked and walked with
nearly 5000 Sioux Indians from all
parts OF North and South Dakota.
He covered more ground, met more
people, went straight to the base of
more business, and made more
friends for the Indians among white
people, and more friends for himself
among the Sioux Indians than any
man who has visited South Dakota in
many years. We most worked our
selves to death trying to keep up with
him. We failed to keep up, and
recommend any one desiring to prac-
tice the strenuous life to follow him
for just one week He is human
a ynamo and his visit To thia rasprva
tion has been an inspiration to each
person here, be he Indian, employed,
or school student. Brule Is. d.

himself in no uncertain way from the

STERLING IS "CALLEDn

SlERLlNG is CALLED"
Senator Sterling of South Dakota.
has had his whirl at the law that pre-
vented strike by the railroad men of
the country He took it while he was
attending the tri-state fair at Sioux
City and exploitad it through the med
lum OF the press. He was defending
himself for voting against the bill
when it came up in the senate for pas
sage.
lie contended that the demand of the
railroad men for the law was 'hold
up in which the president aquesced''-
| that Mr.. Sterling was not the sort of
man to he held up. He even said it
was not an eight hour law at all, al.
though 1t distinctly states that it is an
elght-honr law and what law SAYS is
unusually the kernel of the nut.
Senator LaFollette has very effectu-
ally disposed of the charge that the
railroad men forced congress to pass
| the bill in the simple statement that
| the railroad men asked nothing of con.
gress-did not require anything of that
| body. They asked their employers for
certain concessions and told their, EN-.
ployers that they would not work any
longer unless these concessions were
| made.
| Mr. LaF'ollette continues:
| Mo IL,
against the public. They refused to
| accept freight for shipment especially
perishable goods in many parts of the
country, This meant appallingly dis
aster to farmers, particularly to fruit
growers. 1T meant great damage to
ali business, even to the railroads
| themselves.
The president of the United States
| then came into the controversy with
the purpose of averting the general
public calamity presented by the stu
| alton, favoring the only means avail
| able, favoring the enactment of law
| that is just in all particulars, a law for
the creation of an eight hour day for
workmen assisting in interstate COM
merce.
Congress followed the president, it
might he said on the run, SO anxious
was congress to do that which the men
| had not asked congress to do, but which
congress saw must be done to correct
the conditions into which the country
had drlfted under leaders with no more
foresight than Mr.. Sterling possesses.
The Des Moines Register, republi-
can to the core, says of the legislation
that Mr.. Sterling deplores and did not
vote for:
Thus we have not only avoided an
enormous business calamity by adopt
ing the Adamson bill, but we have
started the labor question on the road
to some ultimate conclusion. The mere
fact that we have acted hurriedly and
under compulsion does not matter 80
much as that we are really off on the
right foot.
That the republicans of the South
Dakota delegation have fallen into step
is to be deplored, for they are on the
wrong side of the issue as it is viewed
by the South Dakota constituency

UNDER RURAL CREDITS LAW

Washington, d. c., Oct, THE
Farm Loan Board, created by the
Rural Credits law recently enacted
by congress, has fixed the rate of in
terest which farm loan bonds, under
the new law, viii draw.
The bond rate will be four per cent.
This means that farmers who ayail
themselves OF the privileges of the
new law will get loans on their farms
for four and one half to five per cent.
1t is believed by the admlnistra
tion leaders that this mparatiyely
low rate will cause farmers to
promptly avail themselves of the
benefits of the rural credits law.
