Their trials dragged along so In the

The prisoners were ready for their

sent to Jail forthwith.
After breakfast at o'clock in the
morning the prisoners were taken to

negro women charged with drunken

ments and openly avowed their pufe
pose to delay to the last momcnt ana
finally to prevent IL possible their en-
actment into law. At this juncture
the president wrote to DR.. Cannon. Of
the national legislative committee. the
letter which has been given to the
public. It was hard task which he
set for the men who had just put their
immortal souls into this movement
Future generations must Judge wheth-
er the president was right or wrong
in asking the prohibitionist repreeen-
tatives to agree to the elimination OF
these amendments which affected wine
and beer. But he made the request in.
writing and he made 1t on the ground
that the country's vital interest de-
manded the early passage of the bill.
The legislative committee to their
everlas sting honor showed their true
spirit of patriotism when they obey
ed this request, taking all the risk Of
being misunderstood by their own COL
leagues and surrendering for the mo-
ment a goodly part OF the vantage
ground which at SO much toll and Ia
Dor they had gained. For my part I
do not hesitate to say that with all
my heart I approve their course. that
was never prouder OF these men
who represent me. than I am over
their conduct in this crisis. And un-
less I greatly misjudge the great pub
lie opinion OF the land, our leaders
will find their own cause strengthen

their course in this crisis.

Ed J. Richardson formerly OF the

out daily by this big plant. where
175 persons or more are employed
In campaigns this amount sometimes
rises to ten tons in a single day.
Other means also are used for

from the WesterNilie plant In a single
week the resulting avalanche Of let

HOPE FOR HALF HOLIDAY.
Government Employees Also Looking
For a Pay Increase.

President Wilson has not abandoned
his purpose to try to work out plan
for a Saturday half holiday in the gov
eminent service all the year round and
expects to take up the matter at his
earliest convenience. He has gone so
far as to say that he is deeply inter
ested in the project and is satisfied
that he will be able to arrange the Sat
urday half holiday before long.
The presidents definite statement of
his purpose to give Saturday half holt
days all the year to government work
ers who can be spared from their desks
was made to a committee from the
American Federation of Labor, headed
by Samuel Gompers, who called on va
rious matters In which the federation
is interested. Mr.. Gompers mentioned
the Saturday half holiday proposition
as one in which the federation felt
much concern and sympathy.
Many government employees have
lately expressed the hope that the pres
ident's probable action in granting half
holidays will not adversely influence
the efforts that will be made In con-
gress to increase the pay of Uncle
Sans workers.
