4 START ON A NEW DEAL.

Nebraska returns Indicate that the
constitutional amendment which per-
mits establishment of the industrial
court carried. On the early returns
the vote for the amendment indicated
a large majority for the court.
The amendment does not set forth
the details of the court to be thus
established but without much doubt
1T will follow the lines of the Kansas
court. At any rate 1t will, when es-
tablished, provide that Industrial dis
putes shall be tried before 1t instead
Of by strikes, lockouts and violence.
It is an indication of the general
conclusion OF the people that Strikes
in the basic industries must cease
and be replaced by.a court or COM
mission whose decision shall be ac-
cepted by both parties to the contro-
versy. The public is asserting its
right to appear as an intervenor in
culties that affect public service and
public utility. 1t is very likely that
such an amendment would carry In
at least forty states Of the union.
And it is not at all unlikely that the
states may in the near future be
asked to vote to ratify or refuse a
similar amendment to the national
constitution.
1t isn't a question OF sympathy for
or reprisal upon organized workers.
That sympathy exists and strongly.
The average man wants the worker
to have a fair deal and get all that is
coming to him. It is rather resis-
lance to system Of settling disputes
between employers and employees
that involves all the interests of the
country while it is being fought out
and forces all business and industry

INNOCENT PURCHASERS.

A Maquoketa man defending in
court against a note given the Daniel
Hays Company has been stuck
for the full payment because
the note was held by an innocent
purchaser" The case appears to have
hinged on the question of the lin
nocence" OF the California bank that
had bought the note and brought suit
to collect it.
1t would be interesting and con-
siderably illuminating to know just
what discount the innocent pur-
chaser bought at. Also how many OF
those notes at what discount the
bank had handled while the selling
was going on.
When banks buy notes at extra
ordinary discounts from promoters
Innocence" steps into the back room
and hides while speculation or quasi
partnership stands at the window.
The fact Of willingness to shave a
note to the hood is first hand
evidence to the good banker that the
note isn't what he and his kind call
good paper"
For example the innocent" FASH
ion in which the Linden bank set out
to make collections of packing house
promotion notes at % per cent for
collection fees.
The Innocence OF bank which
gathers promotion notes at an extra
ordinary rate of discount il lega,
then. technically legal. The actual
innocence of it does not appear.

A "BAlLED UP" CAMPAIGN

They say In Washington that
| Marsh of Iowa and Cox's manager,
| Moore. have "balled up the democrat
campaign and that the falling away
from Cox and the refusal of demo-
Gratis to come across with campaign
funds are to be laid at the thresh-
/ holds Of these two. They say that
Murphy has quit Cox in New York
! recognizing the certainty of his de-
| feat and that Governor Edwards and
Nugent are dumping Cox In New
| Jersey because Cox has attempted to
side step Moore's assurances to the
vets. Moreover the administration
henchmen are doing nothing or less
than nothing for Cox. McAdoo is
said to be on the trail of Marsh and
Moore with knife and Ratchet. Alto
gether the gossip that leaks out
leaves the Cox campaign up in the
air and Mr. Cox back in Dayton
when the votes are counted in No
vember.
distributing. 1t can not be cast en-
tirely upon the shoulders of Mr..
Marsh OF Iowa. In the first place the
utter disgust Of the country With the
democrat administration of the coun
try in war was sufficient to have
beaten an angel OF light for the
presidency--and Cox has never been
accused of the qualities reputed to
belong with angels of that character.
Then the vets nominated Cox with
out any doubt and SO Disguised and
aroused those Who refused to elect a
president upon such promise and
predication of policy. Cox did his
NEST to ball things up. He displayed
few ii any Of the qualities demanded
j by the American voter for his presi-
dent His record read wrong. He
sprung a tale OF Is millions that he
| could not substantiate and which was
! shown publicly to be canard. He
shifted from wet to moist. He lacked
dignity. He does not appeal to the
American people as presidential size.
Marsh may have bdlled things up.
Moore was mistake the president
who got his platform by seemingly
lost interest in the candidate. Demo-
Gratis knew they wire beaten before
| they started and reIusedl to ship In"
And there the democrat campaign ia
busted wide open and in worse con-
dition than the Hughes campaign
! which ended disastrously for the re-
publicans.
With a really big man the demo-
Gratis might have made Roadway in
| spite OF the Wilson handicap. They
chose to accept the hasAicap in the
platform and added another by
nominating candidate OF small
calibcr and essentially mediocre
ability.
Like as not Marsh and Moore de-
serve criticism. Anyhow they are
getting it. But neither money nor
harmony in the party nor anything
| else could have elected democrat
this year. The country Is sick unto
| death OF democratic administration
Of affairs and democratic waste OF
. billions.

A Sunday in 1882.

) 1t Is bright Sabbath morning in
early autumn in a comfortable village
homestead built In 1850. with full
length porches in front and rear.
The time Is along about 1882. A hot
breakfast is simmering on the big
kitchen range.
According to its everyday custom
the family has assembled in the big
sitting" room. Grandpa has the
family bible on his knees. He reads
a few verses, and all sink to their
knees. His morning family prayer.
uttered with little variation for forty
years. is repeated. Uncle Tom ano
Billy keep one or two jumps ahead OF
Grandpa until it it finished.
After breakfast the Sunday schoo
bel rings, and all but Grandma are
off to the little brown church In the
vale. At the Sunday school are
found the intelligence, virtue and
stability of almost the entire village
two hundred or more men, women
and children-in delightful associa-
ton. AT the close of the school,
Uncle Tom and Billy return home
where two great skillets full OF
brown fried chicken are sizzling. On
the table in the sitting room is a
prodigious glass punch bowl full OF
Delicious, Rambo and Seek
further apples. On the mantel arr
cigars and lamp lighters. In the
CRATE is a pleasant fire. And there
are books and magazines and news
papers and comfortable easy rocking
chairs.
After church comes dinner-anl
such a dinner! Fried chicken ani
gravy, snowy mashed potatoes. cold
sliced tomatoes, late string beans, hot
biscuits. yellow butter. apple butter
plum preserves. queen of pudding
garnished with green grape jelly ano
raisins. swimming in rich cream
white cake, pumpkin pie, and, finally
bowl Of grapes and sugar pears.
After dinner Grandma is off for a
nap. Uncle Tom for a ramble, and
Billy to take his girl for buggy ride
along glorious country lanes and over
pineclad hills. Happy hours! AS
evening approaches all are again
at home. There awaits them a heap
ing dishpan Of hot, tender popcorn
in the back oven. Soon supper is
ready-hot coffee, cold chicken, but
tered toast and jelly, newly made
pickles, and the never-falling cake
and fruit.
Again the church bell rings. Billy
goes to take his girl to the services.
Granma adjusts her spectacles to
read her bible, humming:
All in q dark and shady grove,
There cooed a lonely dove"
or some other quaint old time hymn.
Grandpa and Aunt Mary are off TO
church, and Uncle Tom, surrounded
with newspapers, a cigar in his
mouth, takes his comfort before the
fire.
BY o'clock the family circle is
again complete, and one by one it's
units retire. Another Sunday Is over.
All this before telephones, trolley
cars, automobiles or moving pictures
were dreamed of. Blessed Sundays
they were-bri8ht spots in village
life. where reigned simple tastes,
good will and general content, along
with abundant, inexpensive and per-
fectly cooked food.
Blessed is the man who can look
back to such Sundays after his youth
is spent.-Omaha Bee.
