FAVORS EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

Sturgeon Bay, Wis.-"Eight hours is

lette, in discussing the railroad eight
hour law, passed by congress recently
"More than eight hours is exacted at
a peril to the public, Congress was con-
fronted not with theory but with a
condition. The employees had demanded
the eight-hour day. The railroads had
violated the 16hour law, and since the
courts did not enforce the law, the
employees demanded overtime as addi-
tional means to enforce it. The rail
roads refused the demands. The en-
ployes then said they would quit work

How Woodrow Wilson
DroUe Out the Lobby
Charles B. Warren of Michigan, Now On Hughes
Campaign Committee, In Exposure of
"Inuisible Government"

When President Wilson at the outset
of his administration, in the spring of
1913, scattered the lobby which for years
had regularly gathered in Washington
seeking to prevent legislation in the in
terest of the people, he performed
great public service which has been of
continuing benefit to the country. The
lobby was practically a part of the old
standpat Republican machine.
The leaders of the lobby, lavishly sup
Piled with funds contributed by indi-
viduals and corporations made rich by
special legislation enacted under the Re-
publican regime, had their corps of ex-
perienced secretaries and clerks working
night and day in extensive suites of
offices, sending to members of the House
and Senators and broadcast to the press
of the country specially prepared 'litera
ture" calculated to arouse public senti-
ment against the progress of reform
legislation outlined by President Wilson
in accordance with the pledges of the
Democratic platform.
The Underwood tariff BILL which
dealt so drastically with the iniquitous
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act, was the special object of the lobby's
hostile activity at the moment.
But when the President in brief but
pointed statement called the attention of
the country to what was going on, there
was sudden cessation in these activi-
ties. The principal lobbyists hurried
from Washington like rats deserting a
sinking ship, their extensive bureaus of
misinformation were closed and Con-
gress was enabled to continue its work
of reform legislation relatively free
from the opportunities of the special in
terests.
The matter was not allowed to end
here, however Committees of both Sen
ate and House were authorized to make
searching investigations into the activi-
ties of the lobby.

by the lobby investigation was the man.

CARRANZA TO STOP INTRIGUE.

Mexico City.--General Carranza has
issued decree limiting the term of a
president of the republic to four years.
The decree provides that if president
dies the man who fills out his term shall
not be eligible for election for another
term until period of four years has
elapsed.
The man to fill out the term of pres
ident who dies or leaves office is chosen
by two-thirds vote of congress, if that
legislative body is in session. If not, a
permanent commission shall designate
the man until congress convenes.
The reason given by General Carranza
for the decree, which in effect abolishes
the vice presidency by placing the Sc
lection of successor to the president
in the event of DEATH or absence, in
the hands of congress, is to obviate in
trigue and discord. He says that the
former method of succession has been
the cause of treason, and cites the as
sassnation of President Madero as an
example.
The decree issued by General Car
rama provides for the complete re-estab-
lishment of tribunals of justice through
out the republic. The governors of each
state are ordered to carry out the laws
of each state according to the constitu-
ton and to appoint magistrates and
judges for the regular term. The COVER
nor will be unable to remove the ap-
pointees, except as provided for by the
laws of the state. All the courts must
be in operation by November 1.

MOTORING REC|PROC-

LENGTH OF BORDER

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 2.-Motor-
ing reciprocity now extends the entire
length of the border between the Unit
ed States and Canada, as the result of
the joint labors of the American Au-
tomobile Association and the Canadian
Automobile Federation.
1t is now possible for American
owners to enter Canada and Canadian
owners to come into the United States
without the giving of a bond for go
days. which is a period greater than
that granted by some states in motor
ing reciprocity with other states. John
A. Wilson. former president of the
American Automobile Association,
presented the case to Sec. of Treas.
VIM. G. McAdoo, and particularly
dwelt upon the point that the number
of Americans who would cross into
Canada would be greatly in excess of
the number of Canadians who visited
on this side Of the line.
In a communication directed to the
American Automobile Association at
its Washington headquarters, Asst.
Sec. of Treas. A. ]. Peters thus Off
cially sets forth the decision:
in regard to the admission of auto
mobiles from Canada, without the Civ.
ing of d bond, l have to advise you

stood that the courtesy extended t.

Canadian frontier. The period of y
days named in the former instructions
has now been extended so as to permit
