cago and Alton roundhouse and a
hotel where railroad workers were
CHARTERED, while company officials
at Bloomington said the explosions
were probably caused by fire

out as the explosions occurred, and
while road officials said the failure
of the lights was probably due to
a storm, linemen for the electrical
company reported short circuits
caused by a heavy log chain which
was thrown over the feed wires.
The new walkout at Slater was

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 26. - The SEN
ate committee on wild lands of the
Georgia legislature has before it a
bill introduced by Senator Dennis
Fleming Of Dougherty county, to
make it necessary for husbands in
this state to obtain permission Of
their wives before going fishing.
Senator Fleming, a fisherman
himself and a married man, was
merely exercising his keen Irish
hun,or when he introduced the
measure, land had no idea OF hear
ing an echo expressed through the
curiosity Of so famous a person as
Hudson Maxim, the inventor and
author.
In a letter to S. G. McLendon
secretary of state, Mr.. Maxim
wrote: Il see by the New York
Tribune that a bill has been in
troduced in the senate of the state
Of Georgia by Senator Dennis Elem
ing which contains some provisions
so drastic that it has occurred to
me that the whole thing must be a
joke"
Quoting provisions of the bill az
described in the Tribune story
that ANY and all married men who
shall 60 fishing without the consent
of their wives shall be guilty of a
felony, and their sentence shall moi
be less than five or more than 20
years at hard labor" the inventor
wrote: Il shall deem the courtesy
very much If you will let me know

@Figures Lie; Liars Figure.7
Figures rarely make good cam

in all sorts of ways to prove prac-
tically anything the partisan wants

dramatic than statistics and some
thing much nearer home than the
armament conference whose econ
omieS are in the future rather than
the present will be required to

The action of the Ohio state con-
vention in calling upon the country
to stand by the president" is the
single cue to Republican strategy
which has thus far. been given. 1t
means that an attempt will be
made to make the Harding admin
istration the issue along with the
achievements of the Republican
congress. But the strategists will
find before many days have passed
that the principal issue will be the
Administrations attitude toward la
Dor.
Labor After G. O. P,
The working masses will, as US
ual, be asked to believe what the
leaders of labor say is an unfriend-
ly attitude on the part of the Re-
publican administration toward
them while the captains of indus
try will be urged by Republican
chleftains to consider that Presi-
dent Harding has not capitulated to
labor as did his predecessor, Apart
from the question of the labor vote
is the householder's vote and that's
where a speedy settlement of the
coal strike becomes the paramount
duty of the moment.
Discomfort, no matter how lit
tie justified, always hurts the party
in power.
The president is being urged to
operate mines and railroads. This
means increased cost to the, gov
eminent, as appropriations will be
necessary to handle the situation
And There You Are,
On top Of that the government
must adopt some policy that will
bring strikers back to work. If the
policy resembles what the strikers
have been contending for, the en-
ploHers Of the country will be an
tagonized. II it is the opposite
labor will not work, coal will NOT
be produced, nor engines repaired
Compromises and concessions
would have to be made by the gov
eminent which in the end would be
transferred to the disputants when
the roads and mines were given
back.
President Harding does not want
to seize mines or railroads and
much OF the talk about his inten-
ton to do so may be discounted
He will act only if dire emergency
compels him to do so. There are
sgns that the executive himself does
not believe such an emergency has
been reached though the threat of
seizure is expected to help bring
peace.
