stated that Governor Cox, the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee, will have
the fullest support Of President Wilson
and the administration. The two men
highest in the counsels Of their party

statement, in which he says:
From every viewpoint the meeting
was delightful. The President was al
MS best, recalling any detail inquired
about as bearing upon the internation-
al situation and enivening the whole
conference with humorous anecdote

THE Railway Labor Board on Tues
day make public its decision as TO in
creaSes in pay demanded by railroad
workers. throughout the country. The
men demanded something like SI,OOO,-
ooo,WO increases in wages, and the
board gives advances that will amount
to about S6O0,0O0,OOO wear. The
raise over present wages is from 20 to
II per cent, running from S72 to S4Se
year more than the old schedule. The
figures, based on a 3O0-day working
year show the following as samples of
the increases granted:
Passenger engineers, from $1,000 to
92'OlO; Passenger conductors, from
SLIGO to $2,352; freight engineers,
from 5000 to S2,352; freight con.
ductors, from Sl,620 to SI,932; pas
Sengcr :!remen, from 81 ,S44 to 81 ,5S4;
freight tiremen, from 81 ,4SS to $500:
Passenger brakemen, from $3.50 TO
aieo); freight brakemen. from Sl,224
To ,526.
IL is estimated that the men are not
entirely satisfied, and some of the apita.
tors seem 10 be working to bring on a
general strike. The great body of con-
SerVatlVeS employees, however, are sat
lSiied that the awards are fair AMI
equitable.

II is now apparent to the most
casual observer that both political con-
Ven'ions overlooked sure thing when
they failed 10 nominate Babe Ruth for
President. Any man who this early in

~ unanimous vote for anything he
might want.

THE presidential candidates are
having troubles of their own, although
the campaign hasn't gotten fair start
yet, The suffragists are after Senator
Harding with a sharp stick because the
Republicans refuse to come across
with the one State needed to insure
the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment, and they indicate that he will
lose their influence and good will un-
less something is done pretty quick
ON the other hand, Governor Cox is
having considerable difficulty with the
Prohbitionists, who want him to come
cut tlat-footcd for rigid enforcement of
the prohibition laws and explain a few
things in his past record that are not
Pleasing TO them.
It's mighty hard to navigate a tru,,
course when there are so many cross
currents.

THE two candidates for President
seem to have determined on their cam
pagn methods. Senator Harding
has decided to remain at home and
from his front porch express his views
TO those Of his fellow citizens who
shall call upon him, while Governor
Cox announces that he will tour the
country and gives his position on the
issues of the campaign to as many of
the people as he can possibly reach.
Time alone will tell which plan will
get the most votes. The probability
is that both will say some things that
might better be left unsaid.

INEVITABLE retribution is falling
upon the former German Kaiser and
his family. During the past week the
Allies have forced from Germany ac-
quiescence in terms that will keep
that unhappy country in poverty long
after the former royal family shall
have lost every hope of restoration to
power, and following this comes the
news that Prince Joachim, the young
est son of the former Emperor, has
committed suicide by shooting him
self. The Prince has had so many
troubles that he could not stand the
stfain-divorcc from his wife, fl
1ancial difficulties and personal disap-
pointments-and so he goes into the
unhonored grave of a suicide.

iItE beTlIlanS Had 10 swallow bit
ter dose last week, when their repre-
sentatlveS were required to sign a
protocol by which they will have to fur
nish 100000 tons of coal month to
the Allies. During the war Germany
destroyed many of the coal mines in
French and Belgian territory, their
idea being to retard manufacture, for
lack OF coal, in these countries for
years to come. The Allies are now
masters of the situation, however, and
no matter how pressing Germany's
own needs for coal, she must first
turn over to her enemies each month
two million tons Of coal, so that their
industries may be kept going. The
Germans fought hard TO avoid this
terrible blow, and only gave up when
the Allies threatened to invade her ter
ritory with their armies.
Germany sowed the wind and she
will now reap the whrlwind.
THE great Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has made the startling an
nouncement that it will dismiss from
it service within the next week or so
about 1900 employees of its lines cast
bf Pittsburg. This is about tenth
of the total number of men employed.
Ever since the government took charge
OF the railroads there has been a large
number of supcrfluous employees and
a corresponding amount of loafing
The Pennsylvania officials say that
the men who are to be retained will
now have to get down to work and
give fair days service in return for
their wages, as the company will not
longer tolerate present conditions Ii
is expected that a saving of Sl5pOO,-
600 a year will be effected by the
wholesale discharge. All classes of
employees will feel the cut except the
men who are engaged in the actual .
running of trains. The railroad COM
pany realizes that the new order will
cause much hardship and will use
its influence TO help the men who are
discharged TO secure employment so
far as it is able to Go so.
Ii is likely that other big railroad
systems will follow the example OF
the Penn.y, for all Of them are loaded
,,n with unnecessary employees that
IS unnecessary if each man Is % rem
Ter the company fair service. Ihey
Nj realize that economy must take the
,iace Of extravaganza il the roads are
q be kept in successful operation.
