ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6.-The union station
here was a scene of horor this morning
as trains pulled in with the survivors and
victims of the Sulpher Springs disaster.
Relatives and friends of victims, stormed
the gates at the train sheds and pleaded
with the police to permit them entrance.
Waiting ambulances were backed to the
coaches when the trains arrived and the
injured were rushed to hospitals

assertion has been given wide national
publicity as a denial that further hos
pital construction is necessary. The
impression is gained from your state
ment that these beds are available for
sick and disa bled service men.
You have absolutely ignored, and
not mentioned in any way, the fact that
there were 8,611 patients in contract
hospitals, 4,517 of who are mental and
nervous cases and 2,774 of whom are
tubercular. 1t is for these men that we
demand the best the country can give.
The fact that you have, omitted these
men from your statement to congress
again convinces US that you fail to
comprehend the nature of this problem
and the tremendous changes that have
been effcted in medical science during
and since the war"
The situation that really exists in
that many of the 80 hospitals listed as
government hospitals are only emer-
gency buildings leased from year to
year, which the government abandons
as soon as proper disqualification can
be secured in government owned hos

Reed Gets Glad
Hand On Return
To Washington

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--Back from
his primary fight in Missouri, where he
was renominated Tuesday by democrats
Senator James A. Reed, declined tonight
to discuss any phase of the contest be-
yond what he said before leaving his
home state.
Missouri and other friends of the Sena-
tor met him at the station and gave him
hearty reception. Others kept up a
constant stream of congratulations over
the telephone after he reached home, and
tonight he had dinner with former Sena-
tor Gore, of Oklahoma, and other friends.
Beyond indicating that he might jump
into the thick of the tariff fight in the
senate Mr.. Reed said he had no imme-
diate plans in view.

EXPECT END OF
STRKEAT
MEETING TODAY
Operators of Central Competitive
Field Invited to Confer With
Union Leaders.
LEWIS MAY SUBMIT A
PLAN OF SETTLEMENT
Miners Hope for Separate Peace
With Minority Operators,
Forcing Others to Comply.
(By The Associates =ress,

CLEVELAND, Aug. 6-Hope for an
early settlement Of the nation wide soft
coal strike was held out tonight by
President John l.. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers of America who declared
he was optimistic as to the possible re-
suits Of conferences between union lead
ers and operators which begins here to-
morrow morning.
Only operators of the central COM
petitive field, comprising Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania have
been invited to the conference with the
union leaders, but indications tonight
favored later invitations to operators OF
other coal fields, possibly resulting in
enlargement of the central field as a
basis for wage negotiations in the soft
coal industry.
Lewis May Submit Plan.
Mr.. Lewis on his arrival here tonight
from Pittsburg where he spent the day,
declined to discuss the possible enlarge
ment of a settlement. lie indicated,
that he might submit a plan to the
unions policy committee of 12S members
for a settlement. affecting more states
than those of the central comptitive
fields.
Aside from the possibility of extending
a settlement beyond the central field,
members of the policy committee indi-
I'd leu IHey favored making a wage agree
ment with a minority within the central
field, apparently regarding such move
as one that would force other operators
to make a settlement. At the same time,
they said agreements could be made with
operators in the outlying districts.
Break in Coal Strike.
The prospects for a break in the strike
developing from the opening conference
tomorrow hinged apparently on the size
of the attendance of the operators from
scattered districts within the central
field, and whether they were willing TO
meet the unions wage demands. Too
few had reached here tonight TO fore
cast the outcome but their number was
expected to be increased by tomorrow,
and union officials plainly indicated their
expectations of fruitful results.

find thinkers quoting the good old
days, and maintaining that they were
50 much better.
Human nature is weak, and at any
age q lot of folly and crime can be
found. The errors of the present al
ways look big, but if you would look
back you would find even greater
faults.
Plenty of instances can be found
tending to show that the world is
growing better and not worse. For
instance, take the unblushing freedom
with which votes were bought and
sold at elections not much more than
q quarter of century ago. In many
places big blocks of purchasable peo-
pie sold the birthripht of citizenship
for trifle, and were herded up to
the polls like sheep to carry out their
contract. Today no party would dare
do that, and anybody that even spends
money freely for legitimate cam
paigning is condemned.
So it would be found in most phas-
es of activity. The human conscience
has grown sensitive, and it revolts at
practices that few years ago were
everywhere tolerated. This creates.
the feeling that the world is growing
worse, but what is really happening
is that the world is getting its eyes
open to wrong. -

LEND YOUR EAR

The advertising manager of Sen.
Arthur Capper's farm publications
said recently in national magazine:
"If could have the ears of buyers
of national advertising for three min
utes, I'd say something like this: No
advertiser can afford to ignore the
small town and rural market. Es-
pecially when he remembers that more
than fifty per cent of the literature
families of the United States live on
farms and in towns of less than $500
population. They may not buy Pack
ard cars, but they are worth cultivat-
ing. The man who is not advertising
in rural papers is wasting money
and that is crime in times like
these" .
That advertising man has a message
every Julesburg merchant should have
known long before this. And that is
if you want to reach the people with
money to spend you'll have the use the

THE GOOD OLD DAYS"

Much complaint is made about the
degeneracy Of the times. Family life
is supposed to be decaying, the homes
are being broken up, the foundations
of morality are undermined, the
young people are light and loose, and
all that. This is the constant outcry
that one hears from those who look
back to the "good old days."
1t reminds one of the famous re-
mark credited to some former editor
of the English weekly "Punch," when
critic told him his paper was not as
good as it used to be. ut never was,'
he replied. If you go back to the
writers of so or 100 years ago, you
find them still COMPLAINING of the de-
generacy of the times. If you went
back several centuries, you would still

THE FIRE SEASON

Everything comes along in due sea
son-as well as the early fall epidemic
of fires. 1t is the time when grass
and leaves are becoming dry, furnish
ing tons Of material which one tiny
match can easily set off. Careless
smokers, careless hunters and espec-
tally careless campers along the road
sides will soon start their season Of
destruction.
Then, too, it is the time of repairing
about the premises, getting ready for
the cooler days and nights-and also q
time Of burning rubbish, of starting
an early fire in furnace or stove with
out having first inspected chimneys
and flues. Rains throughout the
spring and summer months served to
rust to the danger point more than
one joint of piping in homes around
Julesburg. No one has any means OF
telling, without having Investigated,
in just what shape the elements have
left flues and chimneys. For that rea-
son it is q bad idea to start fire
without first making careful in
spection. Itmay take five minutes or
it may take an entire day to make a
complete and thorough investigation.
But it would take good deal longer
to replace that which might be de-
stroyed as the result of neglecting
such matters.
We can't be too careful in handling
fire, especially at this season of the
year, when everything about US is in a
dry state and highly inflammable.
We can sorrow for our neighbor when
he loses a house or barn by fire, yet
we quickly forget the lesson each fire
should teach us-and that is to make
certain our own premises are in good
condition and all fire hazards lessen
ed to the best Of our ability to lessen
them.
