THAT SHOE MACHINE

Grover Barley, our progress sive dummy shoemaker hasn't any more sense about shoe and harness machinery than we had about printing machinery when we bought our linotype last February. He received a new-fangled shoe and harness machine last week which never turned a wheel until yesterday, Thursday for the reason that he had to do as we did, wait until an expert could come over from Little Rock and put it in motion for him. We sincerely hope he will not have the ex- periences we have had in learn ing his machine, but at that we would not swap our dear old Model One for the whole Ger man empire with what allies she has left thrown in to boot.

Just now they are very far from the end of their troubles, especially the last named condition. It is easy to elect teachers but extremely diff cult to secure acceptance after cleo tion. At present there are two places to be filled and they have no assur- ance that it will be done soon. The first Monday in next month has been set as the time for school to begin. Probably by that time everything will be satisfactorily arranged and the school can proceed to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 12.-Eugcns ". Debs, charged with violating the es- pionage act, was found guilty by a federal jury today.
 Of the original 10 counts of the in dictment but four remained when the jury retired to consider the evidence. The verdict found him guilty of three, not guilty of one. He was found guil- ty of trying to incite insubordlnation, disloyalty,. etc, in the military and na- val forces; attempting to obstruct recruiting and uttering languarge tending to incite, provoke and en- courage resistance to the United States and to promote the cause of the enemy.
 The count of which he was ad- judged innocent charge that he op- posed the cause of the United States.
 The jury was out five and a half hours.
 When it was announced that the jury was ready to report, the crush became great. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes drew her chair beside Debs, and into her hands he slipped his hand, where it remained while the clerk was reading the verdict. Debs, in his address to the jury. said he had not one word to retract, and rather went out of his way to ex- plain the damaging St. Louis anti war platform.
 The maximum penalty is 20 years imprisonment and q fine of $10,000
 Judge Westenhaver will hear law yers on a motion for a new trial next Saturday morning. Debs until then will remain at liberty under the trial bond.

UNNECESSARY TO
 TAKE RAILROADS, ASSERTS KELLOGG

Washington, Feb. 13-The opinion that President Wilson's action in taking over the railroads was un- necessary because as good results would have been obtained by the car riers with proper government CO., operation was expressed in the Senate today by Senator Kellogg, member of the Senate interstate commerce committee. He declared that had the railroad heads been given full meas ure of assistance the government would have escaped the necessity of guaranteeing the carriers an income for the use of the properties taken over.
 Senator Kellogg spoke in support of the committees amended draft of the administration railroad bill which he said reflects the best judgment of the administration and the com mittee' Although he did not agree with the President and his advisers on the railroad question, the Minne- sota Senator said he intended doing everything possible ''to strengthen and facilitate government operation and insure justice to the people, the railroads and the vast army of se- curity holders"
 The executive committee of rail- road heads, the senator said, greatly co-ordinated the transportation facili- ties and enormously increased traffic, but were hampered by certain laws and restrictions which should have been abolished.
 ''The railroads should have been supported by government authority, '' he continued, ''to operate as unit. Bearing in mind that the congestion was simply in the eastern and north eastern territory. I am constrained to believe that as great service could have been obtained through the gov ernment's cooperation as by taking over the roads"
 Senator Kellogg approved the com pensation provided in the bill and said:
 "A guarantee by the government o1 a permanent income on an investment would be reasonable at very mucf lower rate, but the guarantee in thi. case is only for the period of the wal and a short time thereafter anC therefore 1t should, as near as possi ble, represented the earning capacity of the roads over a reasonable tern of years"
 The plan submitted originally by tn, administration giving the presiden absolute power to fix rates was de nounced by Senator Kellogg. Tt ii appalling he declared, ito say tha because we are at war the country entire rate making structure and tn absolute power to change a rate, af

STEAMER MAINE HAS TROUBLE IN
 SOUND ICE JAM

Saybrook Point, Feb. 14-The steam CT Hartford of the Hartford & New York Transportation Co. reached its dock here shortly before noon today after a struggle in the ice field which are almost continuous in Long Island sound east of New Haven. At seven o'clock the steamer was held up by ice opposite West Cornfeld Point light ship station and tugs that had been bucking the ice at the mouth of. the Connecticut river went to her assist ance. It is thought that they made a channel for the steamer, as she worked in later.
 The first inquiries made after the Hartford docked were as to the whereabouts of the steamer Maine, from New York for New London. The Hartford sighted the Maine off South Norwalk at 130 a. m. in tow of rail- road tug No. and it was understood from signals that the Maine had a | broken rudder.
 A great field of ice, half a mile long and of an average thickness of three and a half feet, broge from the Con- necticut river flats on yesterdays flood tide and moved down the river. Il carried away a pier at Lyme. The ice drifted toward Fenwick light. One corner of it nearly upset the tug On rust at the point here, disabled the steam digger used in unloading coal and damaged the steambat dock.

 Senator Kellogg said he believed the provision in the bill terminating gov ernment control within IS months af- ter the war should be retained.
 q have no doubt that under the war power" he added, congress may keep the railroads for a reasonable time after the termination of the war. But to keep them an indefinite time and pay rent therefor is obtaining property by false pretenses so far as the American people are concerned. am not yet prepared to take step that will force government operation on the people of this country. That question should be met by the Amer ican people squarely and fairly, un- hampered by any other issue and should the time come when the people deem it wise to take over the rail- roads, their mandate is fnal.''
