NOT A YOUNG MANS WAR


Men in the Cos hold command over
most of the armies. On the French
side the youngest general--we speak
of Gourad-is AZ. Yet the average
age of Is French generals is sos.
They include General Joffre, Cd; Foch,
65; De Castelnau, 65; Dubail, 65; De
Maud'huy, 60; Langle de Cary, 81;
Villaret, Ga, and Roques, 60. In the
German army the average age is high
err still; it is 63.5; though list of 81
names includes that of the crown
prince who is only "a, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg is SO, and Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen, II. So it is ev-
ident that neither Germany nor
France fights the greatest war in his
tory with youthful commanders,
British generals in the field are
younger. A list of 20 names proves
the average age to be $50. General
Sir Douglas Haig is 55, Gen Sir H
Plumer, SO; Gen. Sir C. Monroe, Sc;
and Gen. Birdwood, 81, like Lord Ca
van and Sir C8Ferguson. Our young
est commander, Gem Cough, is as
the age of Wellington and Napoleon
at Waterloo. There can be no doubt
that the average age of leading sol
diers in the field has never been so
high as it is at present. Note, too,
that the offensive has remained on the
side of the oldest staff.

.esBut the railroads are quasi-public
institutions. They are creatures of
the public, that democracy of which
they speak. They have had special
privileges and the rights of eminent
domain conferred upon them by the
people. They draw their support and
their profits from the public, and
they owe the public something, they
owe it much, and it is their duty and
a responsibility they owe the public
to avert this threatened disaster by
the partial concession which the Pres
ident asks them to make. Otherwise
the public, this democracy, its govern
ment, may put harder proposition

be, each unit must concede something

A BRIEF REVOLT

Ten Democrats joined with the Re-
publicans in the Senate last Monday
in a revolt to the Democratic caucus
program by voting to take up the
immigration bill and force action up
on it. The revolt, which would have
interfered materially with the pro-
gress of finishing up of the revenue
bill and other scheduled measures
and postponing adjournment, was of
short duration. This measure was
passed by the previous Congress and
was vetoed by President Wilson be-
cause of its literacy test provision, and
he was not slow in letting the revolt
ing Democrats understand that if the
bill were taken up and passed again
he would as promptly veto it as he
did when the previous Congress passed
it. After this information reached the
Senate the motion to take up the bill
was defeated and consideration of the
revenue bill was resumed
At first blush the literacy test looks
like good thing, but there are worse
things to guard against in admitting
immigrants than illiteracy. The dis
turbing elements of our foreign popu-
lation are not to be found among the
illiterates so much as among the ed
ucated foreigners. The former are
generally honest, Industrious peasants
whose illiteracy is due largely to the
conditions which they come to this
country to escape.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY THE RULE
RATHER THAN EXCEPTION

President Wilson, in the conference
es at Washington with railroad pres
idents and representatives of the four
railroad brotherhoods, has stated that
"the 8-hour day now undoubtedly has
the sanction Of the judgment Of So
ciety in it's favor and should be adopt
ed as a basis for wages, even where
the actual work TO be done cannot be
completed within eight hours"
An investigation by the Post-Dis-
patch shows that the principle of the
eight-hour day has been applied in so
many lines of industry that it is now
the rule, rather than the exception, in
nearly all fields of labor.
Even the railroads are not strang-
ers to it. On some systems, especial
ly in the South and West, the eight
hour day has been made the basic day
for many of the employees. On other
railroads. the adherance to ten-hour
day has been by no means absolute.
The wage basis is less than a ten
hour day on the following roads: Ell
Paso and Southwestern, Sunset Cen
trail lines, Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Coast lines), Southern Pacific, ST.
Louis, Brownsville & Mexican, San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass, Denver g.
Rio Grande, Canadian Northern, Ca
madam Pacific, Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic, Atlantic Coast Line, Cen
trail of Georgia, Charleston and West
ern Carolina, Florida East Coast
Georgia Railroad, Louisville & Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis, Nor
folk Southern & Seaboard Air Line.
On all these railroads in Western
territory the engineers are on a basis
of eight hours or less a day in both
through and local freight service, The
trainmen have various bases, ranging
from eight hours to ten hours day.
Most Workers Have 1t.
Owen Miller, secretary of the
American Federation of Musicians,
and for years a labor leader, says the
trainman are one * che few classes
of employees who do not universally
enjoy the eight-hour day. The only
other large bodies of workmen who
toll longer than eight hours daily are
those employed in the steel indus
tries and copper mines, he said.
The textile workers, garment work
ers, hatters and machinists, do not
all have the eight-hour day, but q ma
jority Of those working in these indus
tries do, he said.
"The cigarmakers were the first to
eet the eight-hour day." said Miller
"That was in 1894. Since that time
all the building trades have obtained
it, three-fourths of the machinists,
the structural iron workers, the
metal polishers, glass work.
ers, shoe workers and all Of those en-
ployed in the larger industries, ex-
cept the trainmen, steel workers and
copper miners. The steel workers and
copper miners are not organized.
"For years organized labor has
worked for universal eight-hourI
day and our labors in that direction
have been rewarded by the passage of
eight-hour laws by the United States
Government and similar laws in many
of the States"
According to the State Bureau Of
Labor Records there are over 80 class
es Of workers on the eight-hour scale
in Missouri.

Our State Republican friends have
nasty little split to contend with
right at the start of the campaign.
In the organization of their State
Committee this week, Walter Dickey,
candidate for United States Senator,
and Judge Lamm, candidate for Gov
ernor, each wanted his special friend
at its head as chairman. The Dickey
faction was the stronger and rolled
Judge Lamniss choice for chairman
good and hard. whereupon Judge
Laz1m's friends, headed by Otto Sti-
fel, the ST. Louis brewer, bolted the
Committee meeting, denounced the
Dickey contingent, and announced
their purpose to organize State
wide committee to support Judge
Lamm. t. w Hulrcide, the old conn
mittee chairman, who supported
Swanger for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, and Dickey's friend, was elect
ed chairman. Boutwell, Of Sedalia, a
friend of Lamm, was elected vice
chairman, but keenly feels the rebuke
administered to Lamm, it is reported.
and will not accept. Louis Hoffman,
Lamm's private secretary, was elect
ed secretary Of the committee, butydcs
elineH the honor, and the little Gloom
bugs Fasping note is heard through
out The camp.

With Judge Lamm as'stardard bear
er of the Republican party of Missou-
ri we may expect let-up in the howl
about nepotism. When it comes to
nepotism, Judge Lamm bats 1000. As
Supreme Judge he had ore position to
bestow. He gave the job to one of
his sons, and he was later succeeded
by another son.

What troubles our Republican
friends in this campaign more than
anything else is the general and I'M
precedented prosperity prevailing all
over the country. 1t deprives them
of their most relied-upon appeal for
votes, that a Democratic administra-

ruin and all sorts of attendant evils.
1t was weapon with which they were
expert, and now to see it all dulled
and rusted and lying in the discard
heap is gall to them.

the next four games; Miss Killam took
the fifth and Miss Epping won the last,
making the set 6-2 and winning the
championship.
The whole set was marked by steady
playing on both sides and the only ad-
vantages gained were by headwork
and careful placing of the ball. Miss
