That Bulgarian Left Wing
Has Begun a General Of
fensive and Is Winning

The offensive in the Balkans is in full
swfag with the Russian troops arriving
to fight with the entente forces and Ru-
mania reported about ready to join in
the war on the side of the allies. The
landing of the Italian troops continues
and an unofficial despatch reports the
Greek troops as involved with the Bull
garians near Seres.
The arrival of the Russians and the
italians at Saloniki is an indication that
the allies have decided to concentrate on
this front forces sufficient for an impor-
tant campaign, although it is only about
$50 miles in an air line from the Russian
to the Greek border. The nearest points
in Runania and Bulgaria lie between and
the Russians were obliged to travel
thousands of miles, possibly over an At
lantic route, via Gibraltar and the Medi-
terranean.

HOW LABOR WILL VOTE

democrats say Wilson will Eet
the labor vote because of his legis-
lative record. Republicans say labor
never votes solidly, and that it will
split up for Wilson, Hughes or Ben
son. That's one of the problems of
the election-will labor see that or
ganized capital is back of Hughes,
and then get back of Wilson? Or will
labor split three ways while capital
is voting one way? And spending it's
money one way, too Reports from
New York say the Hughes campaign
fund will make the Hanna-McKinley
fund of 1896 look like a piker.'

Some little comment was caused in

missal of Deputy Engineer Herbert

has been acting as Construction En-
gineer and Supervisor of the Perman-
ent Highways Of the county, taking
his orders direct from the commits
sioners, and reporting to them. No
official record of his appointment to
these duties had been made, the COM
missioners not thinking any neces-
sary. The commissioners promptly
met and passed a resolution appoint
ing Mr.. Gee as Constructing Engineer
to supervise the various roads under
construction. No reason is assigned
for Mr.. Standings action.

The argument being put forward in
some quarters against G. T. Sanders or
account of the length of time he has
served the county should rebound to his
credit, as the people have evidently
been satisfied with his conduct OF the
offices he has held or he would not have
been returned with such regularity. The
pay for holding a county office is not SC
alluring but that it would seem part O
business policy to try to keep those thai

Mothers are sometimes so thought

their children contract. The inflam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that may
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds

forethought, bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy judiciously used, and
all this trouble might have been

LA TOILETTE ON THE
EIGHT.HOUR LAW

Senator Robert M. La Toilette OF
Wisconsin, the only republican SEN
ator to vote for the eight-hour law,
in a signed editorial in the September
issue of his magazine defends the
passage of the above law and en-
dorses the sentiments of President
Wilson's speech at Shadow Lawn Sat-
urday, the 23rd.
Says the Senator:
"The eight-hour law is not force
bill. The railway employees demand
ed an eight-hour day from the rail
roads. They made no demand on con-
gress. AS was their right, they set
a day to quit work in case their de-
mand was refused. Then the rail-
roads inaugurated strike against
the public. They refused to accept
freight for shipment, especially per-
ishable goods, in many parts of the
country. They spent tremendous
sums of money in an effort to influ-
ence public sentiment and this money
must eventually come out of the peck
cts of the people. The strike meant
appalling disaster to farmers, to fruit
growers, great damage to all bust
ness, including the railroads.
"The president was not successful
in averting the disaster, the railroad
managers being particularly obstinate
and refusing to concede the principle
of the eight-hour day. The president
put the matter. up to congress, and
congress, considering only the public
good, acted in the public interest 1t
was not forced by any demands of the
workingmen or of the railroads. The
public interest demanded immediate
action, and congress acted and passed
the law. Every Wisconsin represen-
tative present voted for the BILL and
l believe they were right in doing SO.
l believe in the eight-bour day.
did congress act without due con-
sideration? The question of the eight
hour day for skilled labor was not
new. Every congressman alive to
the issues of the day must have been
familiar with the subject.

for railroad employees was under con-

THE TROOPS ON THE BORDER


Charges that the troops on the
Mexican border are mistreated or
starved are groundless.'
Thus emphatically stated Captain
w. A. Rosenfield of Rock Island, IL
linois, now at home on a thirty-day
furlough from the camp at Browns
Vile, Texas.
Captain Rosenfield is one of the
leading republican chieftains of IL
linois, but does not stand for the re-
publican "dope'' about the national
guard He continued his statement
as follows:
There is nothing to the charges
that the troops have been mistreated
or starved. They receive regular
army rations-nothing more. They
should have expected nothing more.
But there were kicks and plenty of
them.
Protests came from the soldiers
who in their lives back home were
used to anything. They are the fell
lows who kicked. The soldiers who
were accustomed to the better mode
of living registered no protests with
the rations set before them. They
accepted the food, knowing army life

thing. They were satisfied"

TO THE FARMER VOTE
