The invisible government" which has swayed congress since the Civil war was never so active in behalf of its pro- jeCts as now. It is desperately at work at Washington trying to force the hand of congress and consummate a steal of ten billions of dollars that have been ploughed into the fake property invest ment account which the people are asked to legalize and ever afterWard re- ward with a tax that directly adds to the cost of living.
 The only measure before congress that stands between the people and the railroad-fnancial highWayman is the Sims bill, which was formulated and workers of this country. Every other bill proposes to permit this gigantic steal the most colossal bit of frcebooting in the annals of crime.
 The brotherhood bill is the only one that adequately meets the question of watered stock and the labor problem and organized labor is the only force here in Washington, or i'll the nation, fighting on the peoples side of this issue, that Wie1ds any power that the politicians fear.
 Seventeen separate and distinct plans of railway reorganization have been submitted to congress. But it is note worthy that neither the railway mana gers nor the Warfeld committee of alleged shareholders has had the temer- ity to give publicity to their demands in the form Of proposed legislation.
 True, the Warfe1d crowd has pre- scented to a congressional committee the proposed draft of legislation which it demands, but this bill was given under a pledge of confidence and the public has not heard a word from it. That is evidence that the raiIway-hnancja1 group are in q state of wholesome apprehen- sion They don't want the public to scrutinize what they are trying to do, They want congress to get into

 INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT" ON THE JOB


Wrangle and then they will slip through their outrageous stead and the people,
 they hope, will be none the wiser until too late.
 The Cunmins bill with its un-Amer- ican provision against the only effective weapon that remains with the workers, Is damned both by the workers and the managers. It does not give the latter all they want, but 1t gives them a great deal more than they are entitled to re- ceive, or that they will receive if the people are aroused to the iniquity of their course. The Esch-Pomercnc bill is an insipid bid for financial favor It gives the managers somewhat more than Cummns is prepared to yield. But it IS not enough for the managers. They want the whole of their outrageous de- nands. They want the people to legal ize their fake ten billions of dollars of watered stock, and four billions add1- tional for depreciation during so-called government control, and then they de- mand that forever after the people shall be taxed to pay return upon this top heavy inverted pyramid, built Up of crime, manipulation and exploitation.
 And the managers will succeed too, unless the organized railroad workers and other vigilant citizens prevent it The Plumb Plan League is carrying the message of the1r vena1ity to all sections of the country. Already there is a note worthy veerjng of public opinion. The issue is not vet determined, The rail roads may go back-but they will rot go back to stay. That is the one certain thing in this controversy. The railroads may seize their booty, but they will never be able to get away with it.
 To contend otherwise would be to abandon faith i'll the intelligence and the patriotism of our citizenry. It would imply that we are fitted only to Ee slaves, to be the miserable, contemptib1e creatures that Wall street says he masses of Americans are.

DON'T GO TO DETROIT.

Don't go to Detroit !"-this is the gist of warning just issued to all dis charged soldiers and sailors by Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the Secre- tary of Wra
 Widespread circulation has been given to a report among returned serv- ice men to the effect that this city is greatly in need of men and that they can readily find jobs in the automobile industries. As a result thousands of ex- service men have gone there, thereby taxing to the utmost Detroit's housing facilities.
 Don't make for Detroit just because some chance acquaintance happens to tell r,ou that there are plenty of good jobs there for the asking". is Colonel Woods advice. "When you get there you will i'll all probability be disappoint- ed in finding that Detroit is working over the problem of caring for its own returning men,"
 Employment figures show that of all the men applying ir Detroit for employ mclt 05 per cent. are from out of town and the reports of the welfare organ izations show that practically all men ap- pliyng for financial help do not live there. Notwithstanding this burden De- troit has responded to the occasion and has succeeded in finding jobs Tor many of these men. However, the influx of labor during the past few months has been so great that nearly all the really good jobs have been taken.

COUNTY JAIL EMPTY
AT LEXINGTON FIRST
FINE IN FIFTY YEARS

LEXINGTON, Mo-, Sept. 1.-The
Lafayette County Jail her has been
empty for the first time in so years
and the citizens of the town are rub
bling their eyes and reading the news
story of this unusual condition two
and three times over to assure them
selves that they are reading Alright.
The prohibition of the saloon is given
as the reason for the change. Lexing-
ton during the past several decades
has been no worse than many other
towns where the saloon thrived. With
a large mining population, the matter
Of keeping many men sober proved a
hard proposition. Now that the temp
tation has been removed they have
turned to more healthful amusements,
In former years it was not Uncommon
to see the Jail filled, after a Saturday
night debauch. Conditions here have
improved wonderfully in every dir
ection since booze has been tabooed.
