uNPATRIOTIC POLITICS.

The present Republican Congress
has left nothing undone in its efforts
to destroy the prestige of President
Wilson. It has played politics with
an utter disregard of the effect OF its
action upon the business OF the gov
eminent. For, example, The Senate
has before 1t a group OF important
nominations from the White House
for confirmation, which have not7as yet

by the three vacancies in its member

and should have been promptly con-

preferred that the Commission should

railroad administration be impaired
if it would result in some embarrass-

LIBERTY BONDS Ar PAR.

The slump in Liberty Bonds has
brought out the suggestion from MANY
quarters, that the government should
employ some measures to steady the
MARKET There have been many plans
suggested and it is possible that the
next regular session of Congress will
take some action in this connection.
These bonds are held by millions OF
people who can not afford the loss
which they have already suffered in
the shrinkage in market value of these
securities. Moreover, there are many
holders who have made in them their
first investment, and they will be en-
couraged to continue to save If they
do not lose on their first investment.
1t is safe to predict that If they should
lose they would never undertake a sec
ond savings investment. On the other
hand, if the bonds were selling at par,
or even at small premium, it would
help more than anything else the
thrift movement for which this coun-
try is in such need at the present
time.

NO COAL STRIKE IN 1920.

The indications are that there will
he no coal strike in 1920. Through
the efforts of the Cancellation Service
of the Department of Labor this prom
ising situation has been brought about.
AS a result of conference between
Secretary of Labor Wilson and John l.:
Lewis, International President OF the
United Mine Workers, contract was
agreed upon which assures the miners
a satisfactory wage scale. The con-
tract provides for an increase in wages
ranging from 1875 to 1855 per cent.
over the present scale, with $4O0-a-
day minimum and a $600-a-day maxi
mum.
Last year this country was brought

would follow a prolonged coal
miners strike The Department Of
Labor is entitled to much credit be-
cause of the fact that there has been
no serious trouble in the mining dis

FARMERS NEED CARS.

Davenport Democrat: From all
over Iowa come complaints that trains
could be filled with livestock awaiting
shipment to the markets, but that
there are no cars in which to ship
them.
Iowa farmers are suffering heavy
losses by being compelled to carry
thousands of head of cattle and hogs
which should be in the meat market,
helping to reduce the price of meat to
the public.
Iowa banks are strapped for ready
cash because of the money tied up in
these herds, and required to feed and
carry them beyond the time that they
were ready for the block.
Money is tight because the stream
of cattle and hogs that should be going
out of the state, and the stream of
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1920-06-09

money that should be coming in, is
damned, at the point where the stock
should be loaded and started on the
way to market.
Something is wrong with the rail-
roads. They say they have not the
cars. Asked why they do not buy
them, they answer that they haven't
the money. Short Of equipment,
short of money.
Congress was told the past week,
that the railroads needed credit from
the government for half billion dol
lars, with which to purchase needed
equipment.
With the $300,0OO,O00 in sight from
the revolving fund, orders have been
placed since January LIST, for 51S loco
motives and 27,776 freight cars. But
to be adequately equipped the roads
need 226.OOO new freight cars, $500
passenger coaches, and 5000 locomo.
tives.
The Iowa farmer is not SO much con-
cerned as to where the, money CON me s i
from from to buy the cars, as IN hayingithe

Those who visited the exhibit of the
Manual Training class at the high
school last week, were most fayorab!y
impressed with the exceptionally fine
clas sof work the students are turn
ing out under the able direction of
Prof. C.. n. Carter. Ever so many
pieces of furniture and other articles
show real skill in the manner in which
they are made. The Manuel Train

in the state, and is offering the boys
an unusual opportunity to study, in a
practical way, a profession which is
OF great value to them for all time.

ment that is needed in modern work

tricts this year and that program
has been arranged for the future which
appears to be satisfactory to both emf
ployers and wage earners.

The charge appeared in certain
American newspapers that the British
were reaching out for oil fields in
southern Europe and Asia with the
view of obtaining monopoly on the
worlds oil supply. A London Times
correspondent states that American
oil producers control so per cent OF
the worlds output. While the Brit
ish have only per cent; and that the
desire of the Standard Oil Company To
get an interest in Mesopotamia would
appear to be due solely to anxiety to
retain the world oil control. 1t is
our guess that the British will have
to go some to freeze the Standard Oil
Company out of the oil game.

BEATEN BY VETO.
(From the New York World.)


Peace by resolution of party,
peace placing an "ineffaceable stain
upon the gallantry and honor of the
United States" peace in which none
of the essential interests which we had
at heart when we entered the war is
safeguarded," met deserved fate yes
terday when the Republicans of the
House of Representatives failed by
twenty-eight votes to override the
Presidents objections.
There have been vetoes that saved
the country from violent domestic
legislation, from financial bad faith,
and from extravaganza, but all the
evils so avoided could not have equal
led the treachery cowardice and world
wide degradation that would have been
properly chargeable to us if this par
tisan attempt to make a separate peace
had been successful. The power of the
Executive never was more correctly
used, and no gift of prophesy is need
ed to forsee the time when all Ameri-
cans will be grateful to the man who
stood between them and everlasting
shame.
We are accustomed to great deal
of dirty politics in our own affairs.
Most of it is excused on the ground
that it is all in the family and does
not mean anything serious. That
plea cannot be made when we carry
cheap tricks and partisan malice into
cur foreign relations. The Knox
Lodge resolution for a disgraceful
peace was a campaign document de-
vised for home consumption but with
utter disregard of the ill-will which it
invited abroad. It's end was as in
glorious as it's beginnings were con-
temptible.

Further Session Useless.
TOO MUCH PROPAGANDA IN POLL.
TICS,

when Senator Borah started his agl-
tation concerning campaign expendi-
lures in the Senate, about a month ago.
he really started something after all.
1t was aimed at General Wood, pc
cause of his prodigious expenditures.
He also hoped to help the candidacy
of the poorer financed campaign Oh
Senator Johnson, and it probably sue
ceeded in a measure in both. ASIDE
from that, the public generally mas
obtained much interesting information
as to how campaigns are managed.
The testimony of the managers OF the
various candidates showed that u
greater portion of the funds was spent
for "publicity.". Publicity in poll
tics should always be encouraged IL
used legitimately. It's value is with
out question. Press agents used TO
be confined to the theatrical PROBES
sion but now press agents are en-
ployed by nearly all large corporations
as we'll as charities and political or
panizations Because OF the power
Of publicity, it should never be aous-
ed The tendency, however, is to
abuse publicity and convert 1t into
propaganda Foreign governments
during the war lead the way and Its
evil influence has spread into our poll
tical system. Propaganda is some
thing that influences. public opinion
illegitimately. 1t presents one side
~ case in the guise of impartiallity
II is bunco game practiced on the
reader or listener and should be dis
couraged. Heavily financed propa-
ganda is always liable to over-reach
itself and defeat its own ends.

THE PRESIDENT AND RAILROAD
: LAB0RERS DENOUNCE A DO
NOTHING CONGRESS-.

The telegram to President Wilson.
from the. brotherhood chief, said:
''As the responsible head of rail
road labor organizations, represent
ing more than two million workers,
we protest most earnestly and most
emphatically against the proposed
adjournment of Congress next Satur-
day, in accordance with the plan re-
ported in the public press. We call
attention to the fact that despite the
revelations as to the profiteering
scandal congress has done nothing to
check the evil or to punish the evil
doors; that the cost of living contin-
ues to advance without single re-
medal measure having been passed
and that there has not been even
serious consideration of constructive
legislation dealing with the serious
problem of Industrial unrest.
'In the circumstances it appears
to us incredible that the responsible
leaders of the government at Wash
ington can assent to this seeming
agreement of continuation of do
nothing policy which means that the
grave economic problems Of the peo-
pie are to be made the plaything >of
politics and politicians for the next
five months. It invites political chaos
and business disaster. Congress
should remain in session"
The Presidents Reply.
II received your telegram Of June
Bird. You call my attention to mat
tiers that presented to the present
congress in special message deliv-
cred at a joint session of the two
houses on August 8, 1919. In nine
months, this congress has, however,
taken no important remedial action
with respect to the problem of the
cost of living on the lines indicated
in that address or in any other line
Not only has the present congress
failed to deal directly with the cost
OF living, but it has failed even to
give serious consideration to the urg-
emit appeal oft repeated by me and
by the secretaries of the treasury, to
revise the tax laws which In their
present form are indirectly RESPONSE
BILE in part for the high cost of living.
The protracted delay in dealing with
the problem of the. railroads, thu
problem Of the government owned
merchant marine and other similar
urgent matters has resulted in un-
NECESSARY burdens lnpon the IubliG
treasury, and ultimately ID legis1a-
ton So unsatisfactory that I could
accept it, If at all, only because ]
despaired of anything better The
present congress has not only pre-
vented the conclusion OF peace in
Europe, but has failed to present any
constructive plan for dealing with
the deplorable conditions there's the
continuance Of which seand only re-
fleet upon MS. fffz
Further Session Useless.
SIN the light of the record OF the
present congress, / have no reason
whatever to hope that it's continu-
:ance in session would result in con-
:structive measures for the relief OF
the economic conditions to which you
call attention. 1t must be evident TO
all that the dominating motive
which has actuated this congress is
political expediency rather than lofty
purpose to serve the public welfare.
