FARMERS BUILD OWN BRIDGE.
Marion County Farmers, Cut OFT by
River. Solve Problem.

Knoxville. Aug 16.-The farmers Nv
ing on what is called the Island, about
two sections Of land in the south part
of Lake Prairie township, which IS
surrounded by the Des Moines river,
have built bridge ACROSS the Ola
branch Of the river, thus giving them
an outlet to Harvey. There was once
a bridge across the "cut off, or new
branch of the river, giving the nine
families living on the island road 10

into the river by the neglect Of the
board of supervisors. The board once

The Toledo Traction Trick

The city press is having a merry
pened to the citizens OF Toledo. Ohio
1t appears that Toleda citizens had
the courage to vote against the street
car company. The franchise had run
out and they voted not to allow the
company the right to use the public
streets any more. The plan evidently
was for the city to buy the cars or to
form new contract.
But one dark night the company
transferred all its cars to the state of
Michigan and thus left the people of
Toledo without means of conveyance.
Hundreds of men employed on street
cars were also left suddenly without
jobs Over in Michigan the Ohio
people could not reach the company
with court action.
The plutocratic idea of justice is
legal justice, and since this outra-
geous villany appears to be entirely
legal, the controlled papers play it up
as clever trick showing how much
brighter the big business man is than
the common herd. Perhaps they are
right. Most of us commonly forget
that a public utility corporation is a
soulless person and not only soulless
but generally inspired by the tactics

a Good Word from Taft

Ex-President Taft, who by no

considered as radical, has issued "a
warning to the American Legion
which deserves the praise of the pub
lie and of the returned service men.
In voicing protest against anarchy
under the pretense of patriotism. Mr.
Taft says:

American Legion men to take the law
into their own hands, to regulate by
force what shall appear OH the stage

the sympathy of the people that is
more dangerous to the state and our
liberties. 1t is in the teeth OF the les
sons our boys had and followed in
their service during the war The law
should take its course.
''Protest by the Legion or its local
division against any official negligence
or inaction in in cases calling for
quick attention and effective prose
cution will achieve every legitimate
purpose. The Legion, if it keeps with

tions of employment is made. Wages
for machine miners are alleged to be
13 cents below the ton rate in adjoin-
ing fields; pick miners get 315 cents
per ton less; and 23.5 cents less is
paid for piller work. The right to
have their coal weighed is denied
them; they are compelled to work ex-
cessively long hours; many special
burdens are put upon them. And when
individuals have testified to these
grievances before some commission
named by the reluctant governor, the
witnesses have promptly been slug

The New Cabinet Fight

Will Secretary of Labor Wilson re-
sign?
Mr.. Palmer and Mr. Burleson and
Mr.. Houston and sundry other cabi-
net gentlemen are said to be hopeful
that he will. 1t is also rumored that
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who is
the ablest politician in the South, is
confident that he will not.
President Wilson seems to hold the
answer to the riddle. If he RECEIVERS
sufficient physical strength TO take up
the coal strike problem he may pos
slbly repudiate the IA per cent in
crease given by Fuel Administrator
Garfield and approved by the major
lty in the cabinet, and announce that
he stands by Secretary of Labor Will
son, who pledged the strikers. as
spokesman for the government. that
they should get 81 per cent increase
in wages.
That is to say, if the president
names soou inns pledge OF his SeCle-
tary of labor to the miners, the secre-
tary will not resign. But if the presi-
dent indorses the reputation of that
pledge on the part of Messrs Palmer,
Burleson and others, then it will be
time for the only trade union man in
his official family to pack up his kit
of tools and walk out. If he goes,
along with him will probably go Louis
F. Post, assistant secretary of labor,

ministration and it's strongest single

There was colored labor outfit In
the S. q. S. engaged in quarry work
near base port. A few weeks ago.
in the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Roman
burying ground with many skeletons.
coins and relics. The find made quite
an impression on the minds of the find
ers. and there were many speculations
as TO whether the shades of the de-
parted DICTIONARIES still lowered around
in the vicinity of their last resting
place. The general opinion was that
G man ought to be on his guard when
out late at night.
About that time the sum of go francs
disappeared from the counter of a
nearby " NJ. G. A. hut. The captain
of this outfit doesn't know great deal
about classroom psychology, but he
has learned a lot about 1t In the field.
He called his outfit together one night
in the hut and told them of the dis
appearance of the money. Then he
outlined tine history and characteriss
tics of the old Romans.
Boys" he said, there was one
thing Roman hated worse than any
thing else, and that was a thief I'll

We're buried up there on the hill should

go francs in his pocket, don't know
just what would happen. I'm going to
put my hat here on the table and turn
out the lights. The guilty man will
know what to do"
There was quite shufiing Of feet
and milling around In the hut, and
then all was quiet. When the captain
turned on the lights again and looked
in the hat he found not only the go
francs. but 300 more, and few odd
