MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

The question of motor traffic right
of way comes up constantly among
persons driving cars. especially in
case of an accident at a street inter
section.
In the absence OF comprehensive
traffic rules in Topeka it is well Tor
motorists to remember the one hard
fistcd r1le that is on the state stature
books and on the city ordnance.
Here is the rule that alwaysS ap
plies.
THE PERSON ON THE RIGIl<
HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY.
There is no getting around this.
Altho the city has well defined
boulevard and a business section in
which motorists. by common consent
accept a right of way custom. there
is nothing in the ordinances to pro-
tect the man who insists upon speed
ing by an intersection on a boule-
ward.
If Topekans would remember al
ways that in driving to an intersec-
tion he is to give. way to the man ap-
preaching from his right. there would
be- fewer accidents and fewer argu-
.ncnls as to which driver can speed
by tse other first.
Also this would make it unneces-
sary for. drivers to cover so much ter
ritory in their short range of vision
Just keep the eyes to the right for on
coming cars.
r-,.;4 ,t-o,oi,o ,5o,,+e :, ~ot of +raffir
rules the drivers of the city should
foiiow the letter of the city and state
Law:
THE PERSON on THE RIGHT

With the Kansas Democrats

There have been larger Democrat
banquet crowds in Topeka. For in
stance, there was the Wilson meeting
in 1911 and the outpouring of Demo-
crat state and federal appointees in
1914. But the crowd here today is
far larger than usual. The convention
brought a bunch of leaders who sell
dom came to the annual chicken eat
and talkfest.
The farmer delegates were disposed
to pick on" Henderson Martins plaza
form plank providing a guarantee to
the crop growers. Seemingly the
farmers are beginning to take the at
titude of a good many town folks. They
will be much happier with less legisla-
tive interference with private 5usi-
ness.
1t seemed impossible to keep down
the primary bugaboo. Every little
while someone would bring the ghost
out of the closet and a few delegates
would sigh deeply and wonder if the
party really dared declared itself.
Emmett Keith, for eighteen years
chairman of the Republic county
Democrat committee, is in favor OF
keeping the enemy jumping all year.
Keith has retired from the manage
ment of the county committee, but
continues to keep right up with the
game He believes the taxpayers
leagues and general opposition to Gov
ernor Aliens administration ought TO
give the Democrats everything except
a warranty deed to the state house.
Sam Rogers, Belleville editor. is the
present Republic county chairman. He
came to town with Keith.
William Dannenbarger. Concordla
publisher, has a first class little boom
IL
tho, that he wants to run newspaper
and believes he can resist the call TO
break into public life.
F C. Flory. publisher of the Elk
County Citizen, is another sensible
country publisher. Flory also has a
boom. you couldn't give me an Of
fice-I'm busy said Flory.
1t required party loyalty and pa
t~iotjsm to come to town for the con-
Vention. There are no loaVes and
fishes this year. In the old days OF
1885 the boys came willingly. They
held the postoffices and in the period
from 1895 were in control of the
state patronage. It is different now

tBy the Associated Press }


Chica go, Feb. 22.-Leaders of mine
and railroad labor unions in a joint
session today voted to form "a pro-
tcctive alliance" thru which the
UIited Mine Workers of America
would receive 1.-The full support of a
majority of the nations railroad en-
ployes. in the miners strike proposed
for April !.
The alliance as yet does not call for
a sympathetic rail strike, however.
President Lewis spoke of what he
termed 1.-The coming strike of miners -
and said his organization wanted only
the full moral support of the carrier
employees.
Mr.. Lewis without suggesting any
specific program told the delegates
that he felt that the miners and the
railroad workers should form some
definite coalition which would react
to benefit of both"
I'VE are ready to fight" Mr.. Lewis
said. "althO 1 am not yet absolutely
| convinced that the operators will
force us to carry out our plans for a
strike.''
Miners for Rail Union Men.
Mr. Lewis said that if the railroad
workers ever went on strike it would
| not be necessary for the miners Off
cials to make a declaration of support
,, by the mine workers.
1.-The miners would of their own ac-
cCrd sgive support TO a railroad
strike he said. I'VE do not ask the
railroad workers to go on a sympa-
thetic strike to help us" he added,
| but we do ask their support"
Rail Heads Not Enthusiastic.
Mr.. Lewis, who made a swift trip
| from Indianapolis to effect a "defen-
| sive alliance" with the sixteen stand
ard railway unions, only to find the
J brotherhood representative lukewarm
on the proposition, is confident a
strike can be averted il the operators
will enter the wage parley he suggest
ed in his call yesterday.
The first reply received by Lewis
was favorable 1t was from the Hi
nois Operators association and said
| that "if the law allows" they are will
| ing and anxious to take part in the
conference.
! Reference to the legality of the con-
ference was prompted by the fact that
there is now pending in Indianapolis a
| two-year-oId federal Indictment
| against 128 miner officials and coal
! operators charging them with con-
spiracy and violation of the Sherman
| antitrust law.
1t was largcd that the miners and
| operators in the central competitive
1 field entered into conference and laid
plans to destroy competition in West
! Virginia and other nonunion fields, at
/ the same time precipitating an ad-
vance in the price of coal TO the
public.
