Mrs. Bowser knew that something

she gave him time.
1t was after dinner that he said:
Mrs. Bowser, I've done some work
for the people Of the United States to-
day."

"Well, what is it?"

she looked them over.

sales pavilion at the fair grounds
about 20 breeders and others inter
ested were present and after discuss
ing other plans decided to have the

years in addition to getting stock in

"Mr. Bowser," softly answered the
butcher, 81 would like to sell you
bacon for ten cents pound, but 1t
has gone up to so cents, and you must
pay it, and congress be hanged"
Mr.. BOwser repassed the mail box
as he went home, but he did not mail
his letters. Instead of mailing them
he tore them to pieces.

Lodge-One of the most prominent
men in the United States today. It
was he who first aroused the nation
to the fact that our Monroe doctrine
was in peril. If he hadn't aroused
the people, we would not have had
any Monroe doctrine by this time"
Mrs. Bowser was uneasy for a min
ute, and then she asked:
"Mr. Bowser, am not totally ig-
norant Of politics, but I don't exactly
know what the Monroe doctrine is"
"Why, it's just as easy as grease"
was the reply. "There. was a chap
named Monroe and he had a good
deal to do with the United States.
He finally got the big head and he
said to Europe that she must not
come over to this continent and
claim anything. He said we owned
the whole darned show and we would
fight to keep 1t. It seems that, In

Any surplus apprehension we may
have on account of the liquor ques-
ton need not be applied to the ruling
that physicians may prescribe beer
and wine as well as whiskey for
medicinal, purposes. The alarming
amount of hard liquor that is being
smuggled into the country calls for all
the apprehension most have in sup
ply. Congress can amend the law
and if it is upheld by the court an
end will be put to the ruling on beer
as a medicine. Not so easy will it be
to stop the flood of liquor from Can
ada, Mexico, Cuba and from outside
the three-mile limit or to put stop
to the pedding of moonshine, although
the sentiment that this should be
done. that an end should be had of
the saloon is a popular one, and gen.
eral support will be given those en-
forcing the law. Besides, states like
Maine, that have prohibition in the
constitution will not be affected by
the ruling.

by Mr.. Davies reply to Governor
Baxter. when requested to withdraw
as nominee for the position.
A man who, after several days
consideration, will make so preJu-
diced a statement as the following,
does not, in our Judgment, possess
the well-ballanced and judicial mind
which is indispensable in the admin
istration Of this important office.
~ feel keenly that It is the inten-
tion Of the Executive Council to hui
initiate and degrade me and / shall

sires Of seven men who apparently

vice than to do the bidding Of man

ent, that he represented q different

he held the office of chairman Of the

subsequently in a public utterance
he had the towering impudence to
notify the GOVERNOR of our State
that he would resign his position as
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, in. his own good time
and after he was satisfied that his
successor met his demands for that
office"
The seven men referred to are men
OF high character, respected in the
communities where they reside, and
we believe that every one of them
has decided this matter honestly
from his viewpoint, which is all that
the law contemplates in safeguard
Ing these appointments.

during the last few years that over

during the last few years that over
capitalization was one of the elements
which would have to be dealt with in
handling the railroad problem; and it
was their business before subscribing
to the bonds or stock under these
conditions to take thought of what
they were doing"
Theodore Roosevelt saw nothing in
the railroad situation in 1915 which
warranted a tie-up of transportation
and surely conditions today are less
aggravating from any point of view
except that of the railroads. They
are suffering as never before and the
relief for which they naturally, I'M
der the circumstances, would look to
the Government for Is neither forth
coming nor in sight. There is one
body, the Interstate Commission,
with power to regulate rates and it,
has reduced them in the face OF fail
ure of rail traffic to pay its way. The
Labor Board has insisted on the COM
complicated working arrangements
which have been found very expen-
sive and inefficient and the unions
are refusing to work under the wages
fixed by the Board last July. Surely
if anyone is being provoked to tie-up
the transportation facilities it is
those whose money is being used to
maintain the railroads. They would
be wholly within the bounds of rea-
son in saying: Let those who say
what we shall charge and what we
shall pay also tell us how and where
to get the money for doing what they
require. and help us to get it."
1t is worthy of notice here that in
1916 when this letter was written the
railroads were paying but forty per
cent Of their total operating revenue
for labor, whereas in 1920 they paid
500 per cent for an inferior grade Of
labor. Now labor, which accepted an
increase at the hands Of the U. S.
Board, now refuses to accept the
first reduction it has made, the one
ordered last July.
1t is not improbable that some Of
the arrangements at least, might en-
force economies further than they
are now doing, but the percentage Of
such would be small, even If we ac-
cept Henry Ford's peculiar expert
ence and conditions surrounding it as
anything to go by, which manifestly
would be unfair, the circumstances
being in no way comparable. 1t
seems entirely within the bounds Of
reason for the managers to de-
clare, as they do: "If rates are to be
reduced present wages cannot be
paid. The railroads are powerless to
take any other position" Further
more no one has yet told them what
other position thay may take and
earn legitimate income.
