TRIPARTITE MANAGEMENT
DEMONSTRATES NOTHING

We are opposed 70 Mr. Plumb's tri-
partite method of railroad manage
ment. He proposes the equal repre-
sentation Of labor, government and
capital in the management of the
railroads under public ownership. If
there should be failure the response
bility can be denied by all three rep
resentatives. In order TO agree on a
line Of policy the railroad representa-
tives would have to compromise in
order to get anywhere at all, and the
other two might be wholly wrong
and the railroad representatives who'll
~ right. Under tripartite manage
ment failure is absolutely sure. Give
one party control and then make that
party responsible before the people.
We repeat, if it is to be public own
ership of the railroads, in compliance
with the demands of the railroad men,
then make them responsible for fail
ure. They win be entitled TO credit if
they succeed. On the other hand
they should be perfectly willing to
shoulder responsibility for failure.
Failure will of course result in open
ing the eyes of all those who are now
on the fence and willing to abe
shown" IF it costs the balance Of the
taxpayers billion or two of dollars
to make good the losses of manage
ment under the brotherhoods it viii
result in solidifying them in opposi-
ton and make them powerful enough
TO peaceably and successfully oppose
any high handed methods the rail
road brotherhoods might adopt to
make other working men help pay
their wages.

PEACEABLE RAILROAD STRIKE

One thing those who strike have
learned, and that is that a peaceable,
orderly strike gets the men farther
along than a riotous strike and blood
shed. Up to the time this is written
there has been no disturbance report
ed as resulting from the walkout of
the railroad shop men. Some fifty
or sixty men struck in the Leaven-
worth railroad yards, and but for the
fact that strike was on and the
Leavenworth employees were among
those called out by their unions no
one would have known a strike was
on so peaceably and orderly was the
demonstration conducted This is
greatly to their credit If a man has
a just cause force is wholly unneces-
sary in this country. Justice appeals
to the majority of people, and is us
ually attained by peaceable, orderly
methods. The use of force in a labor
strike always suggests the methods of
the autocrat.

STATE OWES SENATOR POIN
DEXTER LOYAL SUPPORT

Senator Poindexter's candidacy is
receiving flattering support from the
eastern press. A number of eastern
papers are on record as saying that
if the nomination is to be given to
western man they prefer Senator
Poindexter to any one whose name
has been mentioned in connection
with the office, preferrinR him to
either Johnson of California, or Borah
Of Idaho, both of whose names have
frequently been mentioned in connec-
tion with the presidency. Therepub-
lican nomination has never been given
to a man west of the Missouri
river and this seems a most opportune
time for the western portion of the
United States to unite on a man who
commands confidence and respect in
the eastern states. The eastern states
will, of course, have several candid
ates. None of them, however, will
have any particular claim to distincl
ton or develop enough strength to
overshadoW a western man. IF the re-
publicans Of this state give him loyal
support there is excellent reason for
believing that he may receive the
nomination.

ABOUT SOLDIERS INSURANCE

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass on July 26th signed a decision
of momentous Importance and inter-
est to discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines. In the decision the secre-
tary ruled that discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines who have dropped
their insurance may reinstate it within
eighteen months after discharge
without paying the back premiums.
All they will be asked to pay will be
the premium on the amount of rein
surance to be reinstated for the month
of grace in which they were covered
and for the current month.

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Amos Kendall,
is 1T YOURS
AUGUST 15, 1889.

- NSo1 Az t'O''
Amos Kendall, postmaster general OF
the United States, and later associat-
ed with Morse in his telegraph compa-
ny. was born in Massachusetts in 1IS9,
during the time when the new country
was just finding itself politically.
He studied law and when he was 20
he went to Washington to be a tutor.
By chance he was employed by the
family of Henry CIay-that statesman
being away attending the conference
at Client at the time. II is probable
his friendship with Clay did lot for
his later political career.
Kendall was IS when he was elected
postmaster general. He took office at
a time when the department was badly
in debt, but in one year he had
Strengthened it out financially. The
extreme honesty of his methods In
volved him in several nasty law suits
with corporations less particular than
himself. 4 paper he started to support
his family involved him in still more
legal proceedings.
When his term was up he went In
with his friend Morse, who was de-
veloping the telegraph. This business
brought him an immense fortune. The
charities Kendall had always wanted
to help he could now aid as he chose,
so huge sums went into various phil
anthropic works. Among them is the
Columbia Institute for the deaf and
dumb. HIS big house in v ASKING ton
was turned over to the government
during the civil war for the use Of
troops. Kendall died In 1869.

II the present agitation against pro.
fiteering does not result in the making
OF q new statute or the appointing OK

not the opinion Of The Capital but 10
the opinion of one Of the great mer-
chants Of Des Moines. This same mer-
chant believes that many Of the In

who fix the prices OF articles to sell
quoted a necessary increase. They
found that people bought che goods
Just the same and so one increase fol-

ditions by restoring normal conditions

that is done much >will have been &C
complished. The merchant did not
say SO, but we are Of the belief that
there has been a recklessness In ex-
penditure wholly unwarranted by bust:
ness conditions and by earnings. The
people need not become tightwads.
They need not deny themselves the
things they need. But they can give
more thought to expenditures than
they have been giving.

Henry Ford won his case. The jury
at Mt. Clemens said that The Chicago
Daily Tribune libeled the millionaire
manufacturer when It printed three
years ago an editorial headed Ford
Is an Anarchist" The jury thought Mr.,
Ford had been damaged In the sum of
cents, and returned its verdict ac-
cordingly.
So endeth one of the famous libel
suits Of the country. 1t is not likely
The Tribune will appeal, for ForH
wanted a million in damages, and the
court costs, which The Tribune is as
sesscd. will be insignificant compared
TO million.
The long drawn out lawsuit is not
without its lessons both to newspapers
and persons who fancy they have been
damaged by editorial references. the
Tribune henceforth probably VIII eN-
crclse a nttles more care before II
brands some one an anarchist, Oi
course The Tribune writer did not
mean that Henry Ford was an anar-
chist in the serse of being bomb
thrower but because he felt Ford was
against the government in his efforts
to prevent preparedness. Had The
Tribune stuck to the Ignorant ideal
ist' phase of its editorial and laid on
on the anarchist stuff, it would have
got by thru Mr. Fords own testimony.
To Mr.. Ford comes the satisfaction
of winning his suit, and announcing
to the world that The Tribune was
wrong when it termed him an anaTch-
list. The size of the damages awarded
means nothing to Ford. The Tribune
check for cents will look good in Il
frame hung in the parlor, and can be
preserved for the grandchildren. When
tho grandchildren read the files OF
twenty-five years ago, however, they
will learn that Grandpa, on the witness

out too, that Grandpa's preparedness

great cost. were written by Grandpa
hired man, even tho they bore Grand
pas signature. To a man of Ford
wealth and political ambitions it would
have been worth million not to al
low the public to know what Ford dld
not know. Senatorial aspirations DO
not fit in very well with the public's
knowledge that their candidate for the
senate knows so little Of the history
of his country.
But Ford probably is satisfied be-
cause of vindication. The Tribune wall

WHY NOT 4 GAM! WAROtN7

Iowa is approaching the time of the
open season for what little game is ar
forded for the pleasure Of sportsnen'
Next month will see the opening of the
fall shooting season for migratory
birds, AS specified by the fedora! law,
In Iowa is the law going to be obeyed'
or will those who want to shoot before

II the rest of Iowa is in the same po-
sition as this county, law violators VIII
have easy picking, for this county has
no game warden. nor has 1t had one
since a year ago last June.
To be true the sportsman will obey
the law, rcga rdless of whether or not
there is a game warden who may be
shopping around looking for violators
But the game hog will not. II he knows
there is no likelihood OF his being

The question naturally arises, why Is
this county without a game warden?
Hunters Of Marshall county paid for
licenses last year 1883 II the same
average was maintained in Iowa the
state treasury received for hunt

who paid for their licenses have a
right to expect that what little game

EXIT BOOZE: ENTER SAVINGS.

When Marshalltown went dry, way
back in 1911, one OF the first noticeable
results was the marked increase in saw
ings accounts in the local banks. The
figures produced at that time caused
people to marvel at the change. They
altered the viewpoint of many who
previously had been IN favor Of the
open saloon, thinking that to abolish
the liquor business would mean the
ruination of business.
Now the city Of Minneapolis. the
garden spot Of the northwest, wet
since the memory Of the oldest in
habitant." is learning the same lesson
taught US eight years ago. In one
month Of saloonless days in Mime
apols more than $1,000 900 increase in
savings deposits is of record on the
books of savings banks and trust COM
paHies. This great increase has been
shown during the month Of July alone,
as compared with July year ago.
During the first month of national
prohibition Minneapolis savings banks
show a gain of almost 100 per cent in
new depositors over the number added
in any month before the advent of ma
tional prohibition. Many of the banks
have had to add to their force Of tell
ers to care for the increased business.
The bankers themselves are free to de-
clare that they attribute a great
to prohibition. Not a single bank in
the city Of 400 900 people showed a de-
crease in deposit totals from the fig
ures of 1918, or those Of June, the
month Immediately preceding the en-
forcement of the new dry law. The
gains in savings deposits in the varl-
Gus banks ranged from s25, 600 to s4OO,-
000 and the number Of new accounts
new accounts, mind you-varied from
| 100 to 500, a tota- Of more than $1,000
new savings accounts opened in July
| alone. The average deposit on the new
| accounts was s65, showing that more
| than 5000 people in Minneapolis had
| saved s65 each more than they had
been accustomed to saving when booze
| was at their disposal, and temptation
for spending their money for it was
before them.
! In addition to the great saving to
| thousands of persons the real estate
board of % Minneapolis has issued a
statement covering the first thirty one
days of national prohibition, in which
the board declares that transition
from wet to dry would be accomplish
ed with minimum loss to property
owners. Up to July l there were 3oz
licensed saloons operating in Mime
apolis. On July / 230 OF them, or u
per cent, were still doing business al
dispensers of soft drinks. The onel
which closed were Of the less desir.
able class, and it was said the build
ings vacated would be opened soon to-
general business purposes.
It Is the same now as it was eigh
years ago. 1t is not only the same II
Marshalltown and Minneapolis, bu
elsewhere. The best advertisement TO
no saloons Is to go without saloons TO-
q time. The facts then show for them
selves: then it requires no press agen
to educate the public.
