BORAH'S WAR SPEECH THRILLS
UNITED STATES SENATE.

In a speech that thrilled the
United States senate, last week, SEN
ator Borah, of Idaho, swept aside as
incidental to autocratic-war methods
that wrongs inflicted upon Belgium
and declared that the present world
war is a life and death struggle be-
tween two forces contending for and
against free government and demo-
cratic institutions-a conflict which
cannot end until one or the other alb
solutely fails.
"Shall men be governed by some
remorsefulness and soulless entity
softly called the state," he asked, cor
shall the instrumentality of govern
ment yield alone and at all times to
the wants and necessities, the hopes
and aspirations of the masses? That
is now the issue. Nothing should
longer conceal it. 1t is but another
and more stupendous phase Of the
old struggle, a struggle as ancient
and as inevitable as the thirst for
power and the love for liberty, a
struggle in which men have fought
and sacrificed all the way from
Marathon to Verdun.
"The policy of Frederick the
Great, which would make of all hu-
man souls mere cogs in vast mill
tary machine, and the policies of
George Washington, which would
make government the expression
and the instrument Of popular power,
are contending for supremacy on the
battle fields Of Europe. To lose sight
of this fact is to miss the supreme
purpose of the war. Besides this is
sue all other issues are trivial.
Democracy is the severest test
of character which can be put upon a
people and must be earned and ac-
quired in the right school of expert
ence. It cannot be handed whole and
complete to any people though every
member Of the community were a
Socrates. But what we have deter
mined in this crisis, as | understand,
is that we will keep the road of de-
mocracy open. No one shall close it,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-03-29
LABOR QUESTION"
FINALLY ATTRACTS.

Last month the Engineering News
Record, New York, astounded large
employers by its radical" declaration
that in the future labor "will
demand a voice in each industry in
determining the conditions under it
which shall work"
This publication made similar state
ments which have been made in sea-
son and out of season by organized
labor, but whose protests have been
answered with strikebreakers, injunc-
tions and a flooded labor market
through stimulated immigration.
The war, however, has awakened
many employers to the fact that they
are confronted by labor question
that will not down. This is indicated
by the Public Ledger, in an editorial
which asks:
! "Have you labor troubles? Cease,
for FIVE minutes, blaming labor. Per-
haps-perhaps it is your own fault.
Can your men find decent homes with
in range of your factory? What kind
of transportation do they get to and
from their work? \HoW about your
system of employment? Do minor of
fcials hire indiscriminately and petty
foremen fire. arbitrarily? Do they
misrepresent to applicants the condi-
tions of labor in your plant? Do they
handle the men tactlessly after they
get them? Do they put a penalty on
skill by cutting down peace-work rates
as workmen increase their produc-
ton? Have they a reputation fol
driving their men at low wages?
"How large is your labor turn
-over?" Don't you know how demoral-
izing it is to labor, what bitter feel
ings of class against class you stil
up when there is a constant pro
cession of men into your en-
ployment and out of it for any
or all of these causes specified
above? Are you aware of the fact
demonstrated within the past months
by men sent to follow up government
contracts aggregating billions, that IL
time of alleged labor scarcity there
was never so large population Of
discentented laborers drifting about
the country? This is due to unstable
conditions Of employment, which art
traceable primarily to lack of man
agement."

PRICE OF WHEAT.
WILSON REFUSES INCREASE Fol,
NEXT CROP.
Referring to Peace, President Says
Guaranteed Minimum May Cost
Country Half Billion.

Washington, Sept 2.-This years
government wheat price was con-
tinued in effect for the 1913 crop by
President Wilson today in procla-
nation fixing SEQ as the minimum
price at primary markets. Winter
wheat will be sold at this ice but
the president accompanied his pro-
c:amation with a statement giving no.
tice that before the harvest of next
spring he will appoint a commission
to- report on increased cost OF farm
labor and supplies to guide him in de-
termining whether there shall be an
advance in price for the spring crop.
Such an advance, if given, the
president said, will apply only to
producers who by that time have
marketed their 1918 production.
The possibility of peace before the
middle of 1920 was touched upon in
the presidents statement, in connec-
ton with the risk, that by guarantee
ing wheat prices the government
might lose as much as half a billion
dollars if Europe should find its sup
plies available from the Southern
hemisphere.
In proclamation issued today Pres
ident Wilson set $2.20 bushel as the
minimum price guaranteed by the
government for the 1919 wheat crop.
A disinterested commission, the
president said, will be appointed next
spring to see whether the increased
cost of farm labor and supplies would
justify an increase above that price.
I'm giving a guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern
ment), there is involved a consider
able national risk the president
said. eff there should be peace or
increased shipping available before
the middle of 1920, Europe will ma
turany supply itself from the large
stores of much cheaper wheat now IN
the southern hemisphere; and there
fore the government is undertaking q
risk which might in, such an event
result in a national loss of as much
as $500,000,000 through an unstable
surplus; or in any event in maintain
ing a high level Of price to our own
people for a long period subsequent
to freedom in the worlds markets >
The proclamation fixes as reason
able guarantee prices for No. 1
Northern spring wheat and it's
equivalents at the principal primary
markets, the following:
New York $3.50 IL, Philadelphia
$239, Baltimore and Newport News
$2.3S 3-4, Duluth $222 1-2 Minrea-
polls 1921 1-2. Chicago s2.26. St.
Louis s2.24, Kansas City and Omaha

that at one point in the recent fight
ing a complete horse ambulance, in
Guiding two doctors and $50 prison
ers, were taken.
At one place British officer with
one man bombed an enemy trench
and then advanced. Eighty Germans
Of the garrison surrendered to the
pair.
The effects of the recent entente al
lied artillery fire are shown in an
order signed by General Ludendor1f,
which also apparently discloses q
shortage Of German artillery. Gener-
al Ludendorff says that during one
month the allied shell fire destroyed
13 per cent of the German guns in
action. He directs that strong coun-
ter-battery measures be taken.
AT the crossroads northeast Of
Cagnicourt where the Arras- Cambria
highway crosses the Villers-le-C -Cagni-
court-Saudemon road, as we'll as all
this district. the Germans
were in great strength. The cross
roads are only nine and half miles
from Cambria and their defense is Of
the utmost importance to the enemy.
Reports from Dury show that the
fighting was Of desperate nature
before the Germans who were mass
ed there and were about to deliver a
powerful assault against the British
position were overcome.

RULE OF SOLDIERS AFTER WAR
Secretary Daniels Expresses Opinion
at Labor Day Meeting in Indiana

pOlIS.
indianapolis, Sept. 2.-Discussing
what he believes will be the condi-
tons in this country after the war
Secretary Daniels here today declared
that the soldiers and sailors when
they return to civil life will control
America for the next generation. He
said he believed the conditions after
peace will be far different from those
Of pre-war times. Expressing an
opinion that they will try for a world
wide commerce, the secretary contin-
ued:
''Tney will be less concerned as to
whether this is by public or private
ownership than with securing and en-
larging worldwide commerce. The
odds are that they will see in gov
ernment ownership and direction the
best agency, but they will discard
that if private ownership insures the
best results.
"They will never return to duplica-
ton of railroad transportation and
competition in terminals and facili-
ties. All the benefits which govern
ment operation of railroads have Civ
en- will be continued whether roads
are in public or private ownership.
The telephone and telegraph probably
will be a permanent part of the pos
tai systems, though the men who will
rule America will be open mi led
enough to discuss the best method Of
communication"
Mr.. Daniels spoke at the Labor
Day celebration here, after parade
in which thousands Of laborins men
marched.
