TT looks to me as II congress will
have to undertake some legislation to
remove as far as possible all just
causes of discomfort between employees
and employees" Walsh said, Repre-
sentative legislation to prevent strikes
is not the remedy. That would only
aggravate the difficulties. The first
measure is to provide full and ade-
quate measures to remove all just
cause of complaint.
II. C. l. TO BLAME.
Senator Walsh said that behind dis
content, the high cost of living prob

But how much have we really done
to reduce the cost of living?' he asked.
Hasn't the government a very grave
responsibility to grapple with this
problem? an earnest endeavor to do
this would restore confidence and
hope of better conditions among the
employer and do much to settle un-
rest

Washington Oct. 25.-It being prac-
tically settled that President Wilson,
by reason of the break in his health
will not be a candidate for a third
term, there is a very perceptible awak-
ening on the part Of democratic can
didates.
Subterranean efforts in behalf of
the McAdoo candidacy are being ac-
lively carried on, while two other cam
didates are more openly in the field.
One of these Is a. Mitchell Palmer, at
torney General, and the other is SEN
ator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio. The
Pomerene candidacy is being promoted
by the organization of Pomerene clubs
in many states, while Palmer is de-
pending on tour of % states about
to be started to familiarize the demo-
cratic party of the nation with his
qualifications.
The success of Palmer depends larg
ly on the success of his fight on prof
iteers which up to this time has not
been an emphatic success. He has
made all the noise of a wide-awake
candidate but has not achieved all of
the success in bringing down prices

Washington, Oct. ga further and
serious strain has been put upon re-
lations between this country and
Mexico by the kidnapping and hold
ing for ransom of William, O. Jenkins,
United States consular agent officials
admitted tonight.
The incident is regarded as espec-
tally flagrant because of the size of
the ransom--s150, ,000-the bandits who
kidnapped Jenkins are demanding and
because the kidnapped man is an Of
ficial of the United States govern
ment.
There were two developments in the
case today. Assistant Secretary of

the senate the tarmed forces should
be used to bring back eJnkins alive
or his abductors dead. The dispatch
OF the state departments note to Mex
leo recalled the sending of another
note several months ago. warning that
strong action might be taken to pro-
tect Americans. At that time it was
stated that the first step in carrying
out this threat would be Withdrawal of
American support from Carranza
Talk of this step and the interven-
tion talk which arises with each new
Mexican incident was heard here to-
night. but officials declared there is no
foundation for it at present.
The Myers resolution was consid-
cred the strongest that has been in
troduced on the Mexican question for
some time. Passed by the senate 1t
would amount to a declaration of war
on Mexico. It was not discussed to-

SUMMER SCHOOL
Members Moline High Faculty in
Chicago To Take Special Course
in Instruction.

Summer vacation means little to
three of Moline's faculty according
to reports this morning from E. P.
Nutting, principal of the Moline
high school. The three teachers
have enrolled in the Chicago Uni
versity summer courses.
Eric Anderson, athletic coach, is
devoting his summer months to
work under Coach Page, where he
is specializing in athletic instruc-
ton.
Manager of athletics, F. B.
Crum. is contributing his time to
studies to get his masters degree
in chemistry and science and Vim
cent Nordgren is also enrolled for
the summer course there. A short
er course is offered to the teachers
and it is expected that many of
the Moline high school faculty will
take advantage of the opportunity
to gain new methods.
Principal Nutting is already
planning things for the Moline high
school next year. He is fixing out
courses of studies and assign
ments for the forthcoming year.
Mr.. Nutting stated this morning
that when school opens in Septem-
Der there will be 1000 pupils ready
to resume their high school
studies. This will make the prob
lem difficult to handle with so
many additional students coming
into the high school.

that there are more families who
confess to the Lutheran faith than
any other. He found - families who
professed no faith at all.
The canvass was not made for
his own church alone. but in the
interest of all the Moline churches.

names of all the families and their
religious preference and he also
states that he will be glad to give
these names to any minister. The
