THE CASE OF THE RAILROAD MEN

We wish to call the attention of the railway em- ployes to the following resolution passed at San Fran cisco November, 1915. by the American Federation of Labor:
 "The American Federation of Labor as in the past. again declares that the question of regulation of and hours of labor should be undertaken through trade union activity, and not be made the subject of law through legislative enactment"
 This resolution was passed less than a year ago It repeats a similar resolution adopted at Philadel- pha at the convention one year preceding 1914
 Samuel Gompers warmly supported this resolution. Here is one of his statements taken from the tran script of the proceedings in 1915:
 If secure the eight hour day by law has any merits in it at all, it of necessity that the eght-hour workday limitation would apply all workers not few, not majority not twothrds, not nine tenths, but to all"
 Another leader of union labor of national reputation thus speaks the question:
 When you come to pass referendum in any state. a general eight hour day for you will waste all the effort have been making because the courts will knock 1t out You in here and say you the eight hours anyhow, you want 1t somehow. Then ahead and get it the way you get it and don't play the part of jack lantern leading the working people of the country into the bogs Look at things as they are. You take the youngest boy or the youngest delegate here and he will have grown to hood and will have died before you convince the people of the United States that 1t is well delegate power the hours of labor with reference full to the legislative body of any of the United States You are doing the working people a service
 This speaker was Andrew Furuseth head of the Seaman's Unon and of the most influential off cials in labor circles
 The clear vision of these is apparent those who give thought to the meaning of the Adamson law If congress egislate in such way reduce hours and increase pay, it also increase the Der of hours and decrease pay. If organized labor proposes to abandon the right to make it's col lective bargaining with employers and this ton over to legislative bodies it will surrender much 1t has been fighting for.
 We believe that public opinion Is rapidly going he law Ne aattraf hat Inc at large hostile the methods employed ing its passage Organized labor itself rank and file will not be deceived by the glittering promise which President Wilson forced it to listen. There be little doubt that his motive ulteror that he was building weaker than he knew and all with many emn" assurances.

Peace With Villa?

President Wilson may keep out of war" after the fashion in which have been kept out until the election but no longer Carranza is evidently his last legs and when he passes Villa will naturally ceed him in control of Northern Mexico the only of it in which government has pretended to take any interest We can have peace with Villa in control It is unthinkabe that could come to any terms with the monster who planned the of Columbus and upon whose head have a price and for the futile wild goose chase of whom we have already paid millions say nothing of the sacrifice of American lives.
 With Villa in control of the north it ap- pears he almost certainly will be- will be in open war The American people who have stood for much would not stand for any sort of compromise with him; for re-cementing of the old friendship that once existed between him and the Wilson admnistra ton.
 And in the event of whom should want at the head of affairs, a commander in chief and d pacfst secretary believe in striking softly and hesitatingly who would undertake to finish the job quickly and effectively?

 He painted the great sky dome blue, leaving only the windows for the stars to show through, and then adding tint of pink as the blush on her cheek and a strand of gold for her lair.

 Great as the joy of Elaine at the story and with what love she watched the tiny blossoms sway. Suddenly, from cut the distance came a trum- pet call clear and strong. Eagerly shf watched to see f. om whence the music came when bursting upon the scene two wondrous trumpeters ap- peal cd, followed by a laughing band of tiny fays. These, said the fairy, are my pipes" the tTumpeters of dawn. Elaine watched as the merry throng plped their way along the forest paths; and what of dawn asked the little maid.
 : Dawn. says the fairy, is the time when the curtains of night are un- folded and over the earth a veil of mist of gray, then lavender and rose soft as the thistle down spreads over all the sleeping world and the golden sun in all its splendor proclaims the dawning of another day.
 Elaine raised her wondering eyes to tfe gentle fairy saying how wonder ful the earth must be. for in all the Moon Nslley there is nothing to com pare with the wonders lere below Hark. said the fairy, hear the tramp Of tiny feet 'tis the dawn of the spirit of spring.

Mr. Bryan on the Spur"

That Mr. Wilson's single track mind" is well equipped with switching facilities Colonel Roose welt so graphically described last Saturday, is illus trated in the effective in which MT. Bryan has been side-tracled shunted off upon an unused spur" somewhere where the shrubbery and tall grass conceal him from the public view. When Mir. Bryan in Phoenix six weeks ago he announced that after

 When. six years ago the then Governor Wilson of New Jersey wrote to Mir Joline of St. Louis that he would like to MT.

 What poignant reflections must gnaw MT Bryan! By dsregarding instructions of the voters of Ne braska he made possible that which otherwise would have been hopelessly impossible the nomination of Mr Wilson the prize snatched from the almost certain grasp of Mir, Clark.
 For twenty years Mir. Bryan had been the unques- toned leader of his party through the wilderness of diversity. It thought by those who do not con sder deeply that he would be the real head of the party through the Wilson administration and that Mr. Wilson would be a weak figurehead Then came the split. Mir Bryan believed and many others also that he would carry the democratic party away from the administration only that part of it gathered about the flesh pots But the Frankenstein MT.

SAYS NATIONAL HONOR |S ABOVE
 PARTY POL|T|CS
Special to The Republican,


 NEW YORK, Oct 26.-'I have not eased to be a democrat, but I place lational honor aDoVe party politics" That is the declaration of James H. 3lount, of Macon, Ga, in response to m invitation to join the Wilson and Marshall Democratic Association of Washington.
 Judge Blount is one of the most widely known democrats of the country. He is the son of Paramount" Blount, who was in congress for many years and who investigated the insurrection m Hawaii for President Cleveland. Judge Blount was a volunteer officer in the Cuban campaign during the spanish American war, serving as General Woods judge advocate general at Santiago. Afterward he served in the Philippines and was commended for bravery in action. Later he was judge of the court of first instance in the Philippines and did much to break up autlawry in the southern provinces. He was the personal envoy of Presi- | dent Wilson in the investigation of troubles in Hayti having practically the same powers as John Lind in Mexico.
 MT. Wilson's handling of the Mex ican situation and it's collateral tissues to say nothing of other matters, has convinced me much against my will that he ought not to be reelected president, said Judge Blount. "A man who will stand by, an idle | spectator, watchfully waiting, while | his neighbours house is being burned, the neighbor murdered, and the neigh | bor's wife and daughters outraged by 1 beasts in human form, and excuse his non interference on the technicality ! rn In ltn ,ferh tra.y trespass, is too much of high brow for me.
 The most important issue before the American people in this campaign in my judgment, is our future policy | toward Mexico. Intimately related as 1t is to our future relation with the | rest Of the countries to the South ol us. and to the question of how faI they may murder uor citizens so- journing among them with impunity while We under the Monroe Doctrine guarantee their territorial integrity against European aggression. IL Is { question upon the proper solution O which rests the future of the peoples of the western hemisphere. And be cause l. believe the administration t' be wrong on this great issue, I canno support 1t.
 "I am opposed to MT Wilson's re election because he has degraded tn value of American Citizenship | Americans through the world am earned for us the contempt of all na tons, by giving them reasonabl ground 10 believe that they can do any thing they please to us or our women o our children as long as we are inter upted in the making of money or sub jected toNthe inconvenience of fighting

 q know that the Mexicans do not respect American life and property. know that they do not pay their debts; that they rasamufns; that they desecrate church property; that there money is good, and that they generally worthless.
 But people never respect these things in revoIu tions We did not respect them in civil Washngtons soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their hands took the silver vessels out of the churches and sold them buy drink They drove ministers out of the churches Their money was worthless and they just bad characters the Mexcans."
