LOCAL POLITICS AWAKENING.

The political pot has started to boil
in P~leasantville. Indications point to
an aggressive campaign this year. All
kinds and conditions of Republicans
are lining up solidly for Harding and
Coolidge. During the week two an
nouncements of local interest have
been made. Mayor Crawford has
thrown his hat into the ring for a
fourth term as the city's chief eXecu-
tive. and former Mayor Charles j.
Adams has announced his intention of
becoming a candidate for the office of
Freebooter in the First Ward.
The local organization leaders have
as yet made no announcements OF
their intentions, or whom they will
supper in the coming primaries. We
are reliably informed, however, that
they will soon be getting together on
a ticket. At the meeting of the Main
land Republican Club last Tuesday
evening, the President was instructed
TO name a committee of five represen-
tatives from the Club to meet with the
local members of the County Commit
tee to look over available candidates
for the local offices. The president is
expected to name this committee dur
ing the present week, and the County
Committee is only awaiting the selec-
ton of these men to call the joint
meeting. This committee, we are in
formed, will strive to secur the con-
sent of high-class men who are prop
erty owners and taxpayers to fill the
various offices, and who will make
candidates that every citizen who has
the welfare of the city at heart can
give their fullest support. AS yet,
they have no names under c%onsidera-
ton, and it may be that some candi-
dates that have been mentioned will
receive their support.

some one has said. the job stops be-

Suggests Table Meeting First.
Our observation is. as an eminent
labor leader has said, that all strikes
sooner or later are settled around a
table before the strike begins?'
We cannot have compulsory arbitra-
ton. because all parties must consent
to establish arbitration and enforce it's
conclusions. | think we can have and
best thought of the day commends this
way to settlement.
I'm the broad sense labors business
is selling its skilled or unskilled en-
deavor. and the basic cost is the cost of
Hving. What labor receives over and
above cost Of living is pay for it's prep
aratiop and a profit for its inspiration.
The insistent thought Of the day is
to add to this profit. to widen the diff
ference between mere cost and the wage
received. All the influence and the or
ganization in the world will not equalize
a living cost among hundred millions.
Rentals. until homecoming becomes
more widespread-as hope it will be-

to meet the cost in another. and a ma
tionalized scale would work an Injustice.

railway controversies, and proved some
very real grievances which the people
had not dreamed.
Rail Legislation.
This brings me to the subject of
railway legislation and the enactment
of the Cummins-Esch bill restoring the
railways to the lawful owners. We
owed it to the railway owners to restore
their property, seized for war service.
just as we owe the return of the people
money invested in government loans. In
free and thoughtful America We do not
take advantage of wars tumult to
change the regular order Of things l
am well aware that many earnest rail-
way workers and advocates of the so
cialist plan preferred to take the rail-
roads and put them under the operation
of the employees. but that was not Keep
ing faith with America or American
promises. We were honor bound to
make the return. I favored it for the
additional reason that l do not belleVe
in government ownership.
1.-THE government must do many
things. but it has enough to do With
out invading the field of private ac-
tivity, not. at any rate, until govern
ment demonstrates it's capacity for
efficiency.
Act Is Not Perfect.
Il do not pretend to say the railway
act is perfect: indeed, / know 1t IS
not. But Congress was dealing with
a problem of first Importance, and II
had to speed the legislation, There
was the conflict of many minds. as IL
was right there should be. and the
final act was a compromise. Never
theless. I believe it to be good law
and cordially supported 1t. Many rail-
way labor leaders have cried out
against it, but ! can only wonder
why except for the fundamental OBJ
jections to the release of government
operation.
1T does not guarantee dividends;
it limits them. 1t did make a six
month guarantee, but that was to
enable the stupendous financing for
rehabilitation. There was no ample
upkeep during the war, and the pub
lie is suffering today from railway
inadequacy.
The government has held COM
making and all that concerns the
shipping public and has made work.
ing conditions and wages matters OF
concern to government itself. Rail-
way workers are made a preferred
class. and government has singled out
railway workers to see that their just
treatment is matter of public
pledge. This is progress.
An Inalienable Right.
This law does not contain an anti
strike clause. You cannot take away
from any man the right to quit his
employment, but it does aim at the
prompt. instant grant of justice. full
justice: and justice. men. is the best
guarantee of all civilization. 1t does
not interfere with collective bargain
ing; on the contrary it facilitates it.
More, the brief experience already
had. proves that Congress has provided
the way to immediate hearing of the
grievances of railway workmen and
prompt compliance with their just de-
mands. No labor in the world today
is so fortunately situated as that on
the American railroads.
Let US try out the act and the rail-
way restoration in patience. If we
have fallen short. the conscience of
America will sanction every modifi-
cation needed to aim at perfection.

justly treated, and will tolerate moth
ing less, and America wants her
