The Democrat believes in giving
credit where credit is due and we
want to congratulate the Tucker
heirs for the very good proposition
they gave the railroad committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. The
folks had what is bound to become a
very valuable tract of land which was
so badly cut up by the road that it
was almost ruined. When approach
ed for settlement out of court they
named figure deemed by the board
as very reasonable and the settlement
was made. The fellows who helped
put the proposition over feel very
kindly toward them over the treat
ment meted out.

Officers of Machinists and Garments
Organizations Visit Liberal
Last Week.

Paul C. Huybrecht, member of the
law committee of the international
Association of Machinists, and Thos,
P. Hyland, General Chairman of the
Brotherhood of Railway Machinists,
were in Liberal last week and ad-
dressed meeting of union men.
Mr.. Hyland is a member of the
policy committee Of 80 which deals
with the strike situation, and with

tour of the country to get first hand

lutely positive that the men will win
SO per cent of the men are still out. "
He said that for the most part they
were working at other lines, and were
in position to remain out indefinite
ly.
Mr.. Hylan said it was a mistake ia
speak of the labor situation as q
strike, because it really is lockout
on the part Of the roads. According
to Mr.. Hyland the representative Of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Execu-
tives, otherwise the union Of railroad

"The same company which built
the Satatnta branch to Mentor in
Stevens county has secured the con-
tract to build the Byers road from
the new town of Woods on through
to the Morton county line. There is
to be no more hindering injunctions
against the Byers road, says Governor
Allen.-Elkhart News. This item
from the Elkhart News is interesting
if true, and we hope it is. Byers has
had enough trouble already and Lib
eral wants the road despite the fact
that few citizens of the town have
hindered it at every opportunity.

Prosperity at hand in every sec
tion of the country" was a headline
in last weeks issue of the Beaver
Herald, yet we noticed that that pa
per had in its four pages scarcely
more than enough advertising to
make a page. The article continued:
Prosperity as the result of the pres
ent administration continues to in

ricultural conditions show steady i'm

GOV. ALLEN BLUFFED!

William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette, is not to be prose
cuted for putting strike placard in
his office window, despite the bluff
and buster of our governor and his
political Judges"
White posted the placard and de-
fled the governors pet "court," an
institution more vile and dangerous
than even the Ku Klux Klan is pic
tured by the governors pet writer
in the governors newspaper. The
governor, the attorney general, the
Judges" of the court, all vowed pub
licly that White would be prosecuted
A "judge" was sent to Emporia to
personally see that the law was en-.
forced. White dared EN-; he urged
'em; he entreated and demanded but
White couldn't get prosecuted. The
governor and his stool pigeons-the
attorney general and the political
Judges" of the court" knew full
well that they had gone as far as they
dared and rather than suffer an igno-
minious defeat, swallowed all Whites
wares and dismissed the case. AT
first they tried to give reasons for
this. Elmer Peterson, editor of the
Beacon, the smoothest little side-step-
per in the west, tried to invent ex-
cuses, but gave up in disgust and
started to fight the Khan to distract
attention.
And yet the governor,-who by the
grace of the voters of Kansas-will
become a private citizen in a few
weeks, still insists that the people of
Kansas did not repudiate the Indus
trial court. After the Grange re-
pudiated it; the Taxpayers League re-
pudiated it; the voters of Kansas re-
pudioated it, and the governor and
his henchmen repudiated it them
selves in their failure to prosecute
Mr.. White, this egotist insists that it
is still popular law, and that the
people Of Kansas are favorable to it.
The White-Allen episode was the
concluding chapter of the Industrial
Court idea. Newspapers of other
states are poking fun at Kansas and
at the governor and his "court," and
it is the laughing stock of the United
States.

Liberal has few real (?) boosters,
with which we could very well dis
pense and still have good town.
There is just little bunch of them
and they seem to have sort of wire
less system connecting their think
tanks. When some proposition comes
up to which they do not want to do
nate, they are "agin'" it, and they
don't have to spend their money. They
know that there are enough others to
keep the old town rolling along and
they can save their money to have q
good time on. One can always tell
whether or not they are going to come
across by hitting any one of the
bunch. If one says nothing doing, go
bet your money that at least four
others will give you the same "dope."
But, when they, or any one of them
are "for" something, they don't hes
itate to get out and ask the others
to come across. Such dog-in-the-man-
ger tactics is disgusting to the fellows
who are trying to make Liberal a
real town, but thank goodness they
have not been able to kill one single,
solitary little thing as yet. Wen
just go ahead as if they were not
here and help them save their dol
lars.

Anent the prosperity abroad in the
land we might conclude that the
stockholders in the paper trust may
be enjoying some of it. We are now
paying $13 per ton more for print
paper than we did six months ago,
and the paper men say the end is not
yet. The fellow who Canned"

them.

managers, and President Harding
drew up an agreement under which
the men would return to work. This
was submitted to the officials of the
unions and accepted, but the railway
executives refused to abide by the
agreement. In taking this action Mr..
Hyland maintains that the situation
should be called lockout instead of
strike.
He says that many roads accepted
the proposal and the men went to
work, but that others insist that men
returning to work give up their
unions and join a company union,
and this the men will not agree to
do.
He says that the reason of the car
shortage is that not enough expert
enced mechanics can be secured to
keep the cars in condition and also
that the motive power is suffering as
result Of inefficient machinists.
Both gentlemen were intelligent,
wide-awake fellows, who talked good
common sense land were not given to
vitriolic or bombastic talks. They
stated the case concisely and said
that the men are merely trying to
keep their organizations alive and
would not consider giving up the only
means they had Of getting decent
working conditions.

When songs glowed in my heart here

Where has my soul with its passion

Now l can breathe the rose musk, as

Enfolds me, and cry not in my throat

Wet summer beauty over the glimmer-

Do sleep while the linnet sings!
