Railroad employees who have reasonably good
memories can clearly recollect conditions that OK
listed during that period Of depression only two or
three years ago when SO many Of them were out Of
employment and when SO many idle men were seek
ing the jobs Of those who had not been dismissed.
At that time not man in the railroad service was
in position to demand or even ask an increase of
wages. There were hundreds Of thousands Of men
ready to take the jobs at lower pay. The rush Of
business incident to war orders put the railroads
in a more prosperous condition and necessitated
employment of those who had been dismissed. It
was this situation that gave railroad employees an
opportunity to demand and enforce an increase Of
wages.
The question now before them is whether they
will vote for the continuance of administration

the whole country in ordinary times, in return for

FOREIGN POLICIES OF THE WILSON
ADMINISTRATION.

CLAIMS that President Wilson has kept lis out
~ of war are ridiculously untrue.
The Wilson administration has been in
state of war with Mexico for more than two years

out the 'salute to the flag" demanded by President
Wilson from Hucra.
The President sent punitive expedition into
Mexico to capture Villa dead or alive Villa

troops are on Mexican soil, condemned to an hum-
latng inactivity by the ''watchiul waiting" policy
which has been in force for nearly four years.
Though our troops in Mexico in suffi-
cient numbers to eXterminate all the bandit fac

hundred murdered American citizens the watch

Great Britain blacklisted American merchants,
and has continually interefered with United States

THE AMENDMENTS.

l. ' Eltl voter tomorrow will have an opportun.
l. ity to pass upon two proposed amendments to
the state constitution. One of the propositions,
if it passes, will permit certain increases in the pay
OF members of the county court. 1t does not very
much matter whether it passes or not. The other
is the equal suffrage proposition and is of funda.
mental Importance.
The suffrage proposition is printed at the bottom
OF each of the party columns on the ballot. The
voter who has voted a straight ticket with cross
in the circle in order to vote equal suffrage must
turn to the bottom of the column and place cross
IN one OF the two squares, according to the opinion
he holds upon the question.
The advocates of votes for women have presented
their cause to the West Virginia electorate in a
dignifed but at the same time very able manner.
The marked ability they have shown is in itself a
powerful argument in their favor.

d AILWAY employees who are inclined to vote
IN for President Wilson because of his share in
the enactment Of legislation ordering an in.

should keep carefully in mind the effect of Demo

icamindustry
4 oni June 80, 1913, prior to the enactment of the
Underwood tariff law, the number of employees on
steam railroads was 1882 900. On June SO, 1914,
the number had dropped to 2s6 and even then
the railroads were keeping many men for whom
they had no actual need Figures are not yet avail
able showing the number on the pay roll on June
81, 1915, but it is estimated that the number was
somewhere between 100000 and 100000. Ger
tain it is that many of the important railroads of
the country had discontinued some of their trains,
had laid off great many of their employees en-
gagged IN the up-keep OF the roads and equipment,
and, because of diminished traffic, had cut expenses
wherever possible. During that period of depres-
sion IN American business, there were more miles
Of railroad in the hands of receivers than ever be-

THERE'S A REASON.

one OF MIR. Wilson's speeches at Shadow Lawn
he complained that the present administration
can conduct none but ''inconcusive' negotia-
lions because everyone is waiting for the outcome
of the election. In other words the governments of
the world know that there is to be change at
Washington.
For this reason no foreign office wishes to take
up questions with Mr.. Wilson. But this reason
probably does not stand alone. The nations of the
world have learned in the last three years that nc
gotiations with the American government are very
likely to prove ''inconcusive regardless of cleo.
tons. There probably never existed such series
OF abortive and futile and childish diplomatic Incl
dents that which has marked the attitude of the
Wilson administration toward the governments
with which we have had relations Some of them,
OF course, have desired and have profited by the
"nconcusive' nature of the discussions But
others must have become intensely weary of the
endless flow of words which has never served anv
useful purpose-and it is by no means to be won
dered ut that they have all decided that negotia.
tions with Washington mean nothing but to pass
away the time.

situation The photographic method of diplomacy
would still continue and all negotiations would re-

Continued Rains Threaten to Send
Bluff Down and Garry Por-
tions Of Highway and
Tracks.
MANY BRIDGES ARE OUT
Approaches and Abutments Are Badly
Used az Result Of 90 Much
Rainfall In Last Two
Weeks.

The continued rains Of the past
week or so have played havoc with
county bridges and roads. County
officials and railroad officials are
anxiously watching landslide which
is developing just above Prices creek
and which threatens to carry out a
portion Of the river road, and will
either blockade or carry out stretch
Of railroad track below the road.
There was a big crack in the bluff
yesterday, and the rain last night and
today, it is feared, Will cause the dirt
to slide.
Some six or eight bridges all over
the county have been washed out on
account of the continued rains. At
Devils creek on the Fort Madison
side of the bridge, the approach is
badly washed around the abutments,
and while the road has been open to
traffic. the approach shows the result
of washing by storms. The Hog
Thief Hollow bridge which was
washed out early in the week has
been replaced.
The landslides and washouts on the
roads are causing ,the supervisors
considerable worry. These slides are
occurring in places where there have
never before been slides, and the
trouble seems to be one which cannot
be stopped until the weather changes
at least.
The most serious situation Is the
one above Prices creek A landslide
there would carry out portions Of the
road and railroad and would make all
kinds OF trouble, to say nothing Of the
expense of putting the highway back
in shape again.
