LOST IN THE SHUTTLE.

During all of the trials of the DEM
ooratic party beginning early Tuesday
morning when America began to
vote; during all of the special articles
syndicated; during all of the after-el-
ection comments-out of all, you have
not seen the name of Josephus Dan,
iels, of North Carolina, the Secretary
of the Navy in Wilson's cabinet.
A part of the Republican campaign
was based on Daniels. In Hughes
last hour statement on his conception
of what president should be he at
tackled Daniels, and brought back to
mind the life of william Jennings
Bryan in the cabinet.
Isn't this voice of approval for
Wilson, and can't Josephus Daniels
share it?
He has cut out so much unnecessary
pretention of gold braid in the navy;
knocked the strong locker out of thy
officers life; let the enlisted mar
know that he lives in a land of the
free and the home of the brave"
We think that Daniels is one whC
has assisted in raising the standard
the quality, the skill and the compile.
ment of the American navy.
While reports are going aroun;
about Wilson's speculation on new
cabinet officials, you haven't seen Dan
ic!'s name mentioned. The presiden
seems to be satisfied, and the American
people have not disagreed.

THE S-H0UR LAW.

The news dispatches were marke,
yesterday by a statement from Presi
dent Lee, of the organized firemen, thai
the memorable strike vote of last
summer would become effective if the
railroads did not obey the spirit and
intent of the Adamson law. Nothing
was limited as to the occasion for max
ing this statement, and the United
States had apparently forgotten the
strike situation, and furthermore their
confidence was re-afirmed by the de-
cision of the people at the polls on
Tuesday week ago.
The American people did not I'M
derstand at the time of the great con-
troversy, and we do not think they
understand now, what all of the trou-
bic is about 1t is a circumstance
which calls into conference the theor-
les and laws of economics, product
and demand, capital versus labor, the
very vital existent of labor and money.
The Adamson law is looked upon as
patch work. 1t was taken to be a
temporary healing; the bridging Of a
cbasm, which somehow or other the
great governmental minds deemed it
necessary to avoid. Party lines were
forsaken in that historical vote on the
law.
The American people are willing to
let Woodrow Wilson handle the situa-
ton, but we do not think that the la
Dor forces are beneftting their cause
by bringing their grievances to the
forefront now, seemingly without pro-
vocation and even before the law has
been tested in the highest courts.
We want no trouble, and the Times
Recorder sincerely trusts that no sit
uation will become again as serious
as in the late summer. The election
is over Wilson is free to act now
as he was then. but to our minds
freer now. The deep issues
Of the contest on between the rail
roads and the labor unions has not
been touched upon yet, and they have
not been disposed of by the Adamson
law. The day of adjustment must
come and when it comes there will be
time sufficient for every cause to be
heard.

RELIEVE HEADACHES
WITHOUT DOSING
By Applying Sloan's Liniment TO
Forehead You Can Stop
the Severe Pains

Many headaches are of a neuralgia
origin. The symptoms of such head
aches are intense and lingering pains
in the brow, temples or back of the head.
There is one certain relief that has
been known and recommended for
years back, Sloan's Liniment. One
application and the dull pain is practi-
cally gone. 1t is easily applied without
rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary, as
Sloan's Liniment quickly penetrates to
the seat of trouble. e
Aching muscles, rheumatism, bruises,
lumhago, chilblains, sprains and stiff
neck can also be most effectively treated
with Sloan's Liniment. Cleaner than
mussy plasters or ointments; it does
not stain the skin or clog the pores.

ON THE LEVEL
BY C. w,

1t is always safer to talk about
elections after they are over-for the
facts seem to be more sure. Much
has been said in the press about the
congratulations offered Mr.. Hughes
| through his family. Of course, it is
bad to have to take something back
after you said it, with all good inten-
tons. Some of our friends have been
so unkind as to connect those Hughes
whiskers with the embrace and kiss
of the Mrs. But here's the story Of
that little scene told in the New York
Times of Wednesday morning-tae
edition after the election on Tuesday,
when everything pointed to the cleo
ton of the Republican. 1t tells the
story:
DR.. Colin H. Carter, Mr.. Hughes
brother in-law, who joined the family
party united with others in urging
him to make a statement, but he still
declined. Then William c. Muschen-
helm, proprietor of the Aston, hurried
il and offered congratulations. His
granddaughter, Miss Dorothy Radley
as the next. The candidate thanked
beth warmly, but refused to admit that
he had won as yet.
Meantime, the dinner was over.
Still the family group sat about the
table, half buried in an ever-increas-
ing stream of bulletins that grew
more and more favorable. At last,
Mrs. Hughes became convinced that no
eleventh-hour disappointment lay in
wait for her husband. 1t was then
that she embraced him and saluted
him as "Mr. President" The other
members of the family followed suit,
and there were few moments Of
quiet, intense jubilation during which
most eyes in the room were moist.
From the roof of the Aston, when
the result seemed no longer in doubt,
an American flag was flung, on which
two searchlights played. Blazing red
lights bordered the roof, and a great
electric sign blazoned Hughes" to the
multitude gathered below.

Probation of Criminals
In Theory and Practice

In nearly every state in America there exists
a more or less intelligent system Of probation
Tor criminals 3" tina, is, for individuals who have
been convicted Of felonies.
The probation system is divorced from the
parole system.
The parole plan extends to individuals re-
leased from prisons and penitentiaries before
their sentence j. completed.
Naturally. these freed "eonvicts," frghtful
and barbarous term for persons who have served
time in prison. are subjected 10 an espionage

In some states. the probation plan is applied
more inielligentiy than in Others.
Just the same as in some states there exists,
in enforcement. the most absurd Of laws.
For instance, in the state OF Maine, imprison'
ment for debt is still enforced.
In New York state. husbands who are actually
unable TO pay alimony to divorced wives, are i'm
prisoned up To term OF six months
The terms governing probation for first Of
tenders, for instance. are almost invariably fixed
by statute; the probation officer has no power 10

Gagged them. and after one or two "jots in the
