VOTE! VOTE! V0TEl

There has been so little interest
in politics in this state since the
Senatorial primary OF August last,
that we are likely to overlook the
fact that next Tuesday will be ell
ection ddy. The unprecedented
majority by which Senator Claude
\. Swanson was chosen to succeed
himself in the Senate, evidenced
the desire of the Virginia people
to continue him at the head of the
Virginia delegation in Congress
and made him the unquestioned
leader of Virginia democracy, but
there is still left the Slight detail
of electing him on Tuesday next.
the Republicans have made NOM
nation as a mater of form and
keeping the organization toSelIleI
in order to make certain OF federal
patronage knowing the chance OF
election to be hopeless and vet
should the democrats be lulled to
sleep and fail to turn out, some ac-
cident might happen so the object
of this Editorial is to remind our
readers that it is their plain duty
to turn out on next Tuesday and
return the usual majority for the
democratic ticket. Claude ~.
Swanson Tor Senator and r. Wal
ton Moore for Congress. We
wish to also remind our ladies that
they are voters and their duty is
equal with that OF the Sterner sen.

INDEPENDENCE ABROAD

1t is now quite evident that the
Republican party is alarmed over
the prospect Of a Democratic VIC
tory on next Tuesday and the en-
tire cabinet are on the stump i'll
doubtful states appealing for the
return of a Republican Congress.
1t is apparent from their speeches
that they rely upon the popularity
Of Mr.. Harding rather than the
achievements of the Congress
with which to win popular favor.
Vet despite these appeals the Presi-
dents own state, Ohio, is now
considered to be doubtful and IN
deed is confidently claimed by the
democrats. The betting on eE-
Senator Smith, Democrat against
Senator Miller, Republican tor
Senator OF New York is now even
and Smiths election is confidently
claimed. The defeat OF MIR. Bev-
eridge of Indiana is also among
the probabilities. Senator Ere
lineuvsen OF New Jersey, the
Presidents personal friend, is all
so thought to be on the toboggan.
Should Ohio, Indiana, New York
and New Jersey all go democratic

REJECTING THE LIVING WAGE

The decision OF the United
States Railroad Labor Board to
reject the living wage will preci-
pitate the whole railroad problem
into the hopper of congress this
winter. 1t is one OF the biggest
and knotiest problems before the
country and it is going to be diff
cult to adjust because OF the
clashing interests concerned.
The authors OF the Esch-Curu-
minis law boasted that they had
taken the first forward step i'll adj
iusting the railroads to the pres
ent sociological conditions OF the
times and vet more than three
years after the passage OF the
Esch-CumminS act, there has been
a nationwide strike over this
very question of living wage,
The roads are claiming that they
are making only 8 and one-half
per cent profit on their invest
inent as fixed by the Inter State
Comerce Commission. The gov
-ernment is paying them a half
billion annually to guarantee them
o per cent.
At the same time the roads are
charging freight rates that threat
en- to bankrupt the farmers III
many parts Of the country, The
railroad commissions in almost
every State in the Union are up
in arms fighting what they call
OF the roads and the Inter State
Commerce Commission And
now the railroad labor board
comes forward and tells the main
tenance OF way men that 1t can
not grant their demand for 4 liv-
ing wage. They can have an in
crease OF only , cents per hour.
So from every quarter OF the
compass IS aimed an attack ON the
ESch-Cunmins law. There is
strong minority in the country
who are working for government
ownership. The brief experience
OF government management dur
ing the war is not very Conyen-
ing argument in favor OF their
contention but the chaos into
which private ownership and man
agement have fallen since the war,
has not removed the possible ven
trre OF public ownership.
No great bushes can live in
this country that does not pay us
employees a living wage. Men
are entitled to a wage worthy OF
their hire and adequate to crafty
their legitimate and honest III
stinctS. They can not be deprived
0f such a wage without doing 4
serious injustice to the social or
der.
\. O. Wharton, a member OF
the United States Railroad La
hor Board and the only member
who disseuted from the decision
OF the board says that the present
basic wage scale OF p to 81 cents
an hour for maintenance men will
not provide the father OF a family
with as much food as is allowed t"
a convict in the Cook County jail.
He declares that if the board were

Kindly permit me space in
your columns for a few lines rel.
ative to the life of James Roller.
During his entire life l had per.
sonal acquaintance with him and
| never knew a better boy. He
was possessed by nature of strong,
fine qualities of noble manhood
He used these qualities always
for good and with a generous
heart. His death was a great
shock to his many friends and ii
S so hard to believe it came by
his own hand,
flames, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is stilled,
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are folded upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
You are with us no longer now.
He is,gone, but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Around the grave where he is laid"
