100000 Resent Action.

For some weeks the Republican mana
gers have men GU, examining the
situation in the railroad field. These
men have reported that while the 400. 600
employees In the train service covered
10y THIS legislation are just at the mo-
ment inclined to gloat over the victory
won by their chiefs, the situation among
the ] .O00, 600 other railroad workers was
decidedly the reverse OF this that they
felt the yhsd been Disseminated against
and that the victory OF the President
and the brotherhood chiefs really had
been won at their expense and without
consultation with them.
These reports, taken with the adv!ces
pouring into Republican headquarters
from every direction regarding the feel
ing generally on the part of merchants,
small shopkeepers and business men over
legislation by dic;ation. have convinced
Republican managers that az an issue 81

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL.

Relying foolishly upon the full din
ner pail to accomplish for them what
1t has so often accomplished for the
Republican party. the Democrats pro-
coed to pile extravaganza upon ex-
travagance and to make flabby claims
of being at peace, even when we are
at war, says the Detroit Journal.
For the dinner pail has been filed
with munition money, which presently
must be suppanted by the true coin
age of protected American industry
after the war.
And while the dinner pail is full,
observe with what inflated foods.
This administration promised the
worker lower cost of living. But,
as a matter Of fact, to the worker
Democratic prosperity is a false pros
perity. 1t is mirage.
Every man with dinner pail
knows that, unless his wages have
been Increased 20 per cent. under
Democratic munition prosperity. he Is
poorer than he was four years ago.
For Wilson rents are from 20 to 40
per cent. higher; the Wilson meat
the Wilson sugar and the Wilson wool
are 40 per cent. higher. and the Will
son steel and tin and household goods
are from 20 to 40 per cent. higher.
The Wilson bread has advanced
faster tLan the Wilson wage, and the
Wilson taxes have risen higher than
the Wilson prosperity.
Democracy may have enriched the
munition manufacturer, but has 1t
enriched the worker, whose cost OF
living has increased faster than his
earningsf
II the Administration can re-elect
itself on the ground that the worker
Is obliged to move out Of his home
into an inferior one, or has to double
up In tenements and to take In board
ers to make up for his loss Of eco
nomic advantage under the present
Increased cost Of living. then there ID
no reason why the Administrator
should not bs a. sxtravagant in its

FALL GARDENS
IN TENNESSEE
Directions Given Especially for
Those Who Have Never
Tried Late Sowing
VEGETABLES TO SOW NOW
Some Garden Crops Tennessee Has
Never TrIed-A Variety Of Veseta-

to Make the Soil Ready.

(By G. A. Keffef, Division Of Extension
University of Tennessee.)
One of the privileges OF living In
Tennessee is the fall garden. We can
have lettuce, radishes and snap beans
young beets and carrots in October, II
we SOW the seed in August. or course
the family that takes a proper pride in
gardening has discovered long since
that the Tennessee garden is a place
IF continuous planting from January
all through the spring and summer
months, winding up with salad onions
in October or November But this
article is intended for those who have
never tried late sowing.
Their gardens now contain toma.
toes, corn, Okra, beans and melons,
with possibly few other vegetables.
They expect to SOW turnips the first
of August Here is plan worth try
ing: In blowing for turnips prepare
an extra strip rod or so wide.
Manure the land heavily, pillow deep
ly, disk some fine manure into the
surface soil after blowing. In addi-
ton to the turnips plant snap beans,
King lettuce, radish, endive and kale.
All of these vegetables, except beans,
can be planted in rows fifteen inches
apart; and with good cultivation,
proper thinning and seasonable rains
one is insured as good garden
through September and October as he
had in April and May. Drought is
much more apt to occur in the fall
months than in the spring; for
this reason the careful gardener will
hoe the surface soil frequently, and
thus save moisture to the crops But
the heavy rains of July have been
state wide, and | do not recall year
of greater promise for fall gardens.
To have head lettuce, when the
plants are two or three inches high
thin to eight inches apart. The first
thinning may be made to four inches,
and when the plants touch take out
the alternate ones. The Trimmings can
be used for salad, but the heads are
much superior to the young plants.
Endive is a stranger in most Ten
nessee gardens. 1t belongs TO the let
tuce family, but the leaves must be
blanched for use. Thin to eight
inches in the row and when the plants
touch draw the leaves of each plant
together and tie with string, or place
a wide board or heavy building paper
over the row and exclude the light

TIE NATION 10 SHOCKING
~ uNpREPAREo.

II 10 apparent that we are
shockinSly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
(less, believe, than 100000 are
there or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that Is, we
are Summ0ning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to present bandit incur
siOns. In view of the warnings
Of the past three years, 1t Is
inexcusable that we should find
ourselves in this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, l have nothing but
praise. But l think 1t little
short Of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
offices and their professions for
such q purpose. This, however,
is not all. The units of the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
1t was necessary to bring in
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only small
percentage Of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours of military drill, and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful emplOyments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance, and required
only q modest talent for organ
ization. That this Administra-
ton while pursuing its course
in Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist Is al
most incredible.-From Mr..
Hughes speech Of acceptance.
