DAVIS URGES
DEATH PENALTY.
FOR WRECKERS
Secretary Of Labor, in Address,
Declares No Punishment
Too Severe.
BY Universal service.

MOOSEHEART, ILL.,, Sept. mo
law can be made too severe and no
gibbet can be built too high for
those who execute such dastardly
deeds Of violence as the deliberate
wrecking Of a train at Gary. Ind,
a few days ago. Secretary Of Labor
James ]. Davis declared here to-
day In a Labor Day address.
Grimes like this are a disgrace
to America" the Labor Secretary
said. mo punishment can be too
severe for men who deliberately
and with calculated malice set out
to destroy property and to kill
their fellow men without warning
and by stealth. Equally guilty are
those who plan or countenance or
condone such horrors. All Of the
power or law and order in America
must be extended to the utmost to
exterminate the class of men who
bark back to the Dark Ages in
their disregard OF property and
human life. They can have no part
in our America of today.
Tells Of Tragedy.
within the past few months We
have seen the revolving spectacle Of
a score of American workmen, en-
gagged on both sides of bitter in
dustrial conflict, slaughtered In an
outburst of violence" Secretary
Davis continued. After a night Of
madness the morning sun discovered
their lifeless bodies, looking heavon-
ward with inscrutable faces from
the soil of the State of Illinois. The
sacrifice of these men did not ad-
vance a Jot or little the cause for
which they fell" -.
Secretary Davis said that the
country must find a way to end
fratricidal strife in industry.
1--WE must see, too" he added,
that the worker is guarded against
the loss of wages, the employer
against the loss of profits, and the
public against the loss of service
which comes through these suspen-
sions of work."
He pointed out that the path Of
pSoCc bCCIl
by strikes in three great basic in
dustries-coal mining, transporta-
ton and textile manufacturing
with an incalculable economic loss
that will not be fully realized for
more than a year.
Surely American genius can
find way to end this destructive
industrial warfare that saps the
lifeblood of American progress and
prosperity" the Labor Secretary
said. These strikes give deplorable
opportunity to the passions OF un-
scrupulous men on both sides Of
each controversy. They open the
way to the cruel and calculating,
the bloodthirsty and irresponsible" "
Praises u. s. Efforts.
Secretary Davis said that during
the past eighteen months the De-
partment Of Labor had acted in 545
industrial disputes Involving directly
or indirectly yearly 1000 900
workers. These figures, he added,
did not include the vast number Of
workers affected by the railroad
strike, which come under the juris.
diction Of the Railroad Labor Board.
Nearly 30 per cent of these cases, he
said, had been amicably settled
through conciliation. Where con.
citation had failed a settlement had
often been made through means Of
an arbitration commission.

Shooting Investigated.
District Attorney Jerry. Of Clinton

the shooting by questioning John.

Although the wounded mans
brother stated that he could not
conceive Of anything but accidental
shooting, the prosecutor announced
he viii continue his investigation
by questioning every person at the
lodge, at the time of the shooting.
In an effort to quiet rumors which
have been set current by the shoot
ing, Miss Marsh granted an exclu-

as she sat at the bedside OF her
husband in the Champlain Valley
Hospital here.

place and later removed johnson by

BLOCK KANSAS RAIL PROJECT

Permission to construct an extern

Wichita Northwestern Railway Com
pany today by the interstate commerce
commission. The line which it sought
to build was to have been located in
Rush County, Kansas, and would have
been paid for in part by the territory
it expected to serve, through the sale
of municipal bonds. The commission
held that the extension, which would
have cost $139,759, was not necessary
to public convenience.-K.C G. Star.

1t IS to be much regretted the road
was turned down and Hays and Ellis

Hays, ike Salina, Wichita, Dodge City
and other cities, wants all the roads
It can get.
1t leaves the only hope of Ellis
county and Hays for the next TWEEN

the Golden Belt Railroad to Great
Bend, Hutchinson, Wichita, and the
Gulf may secure the necessary per
mission and be built. 1t now lays en-
tireIy in the hands of the Kansas
State Utility Board to grant or reject
the application, to give or refuse Ellis
county and Hays another railroad
with its advantages.
The figures for the thirteen and a
half miles were about $4,000 mile,
without equipment, while the Golden
Belt, at their hearing last week, show
ed they expected to spend at least
$4,000 a mile for building and equip

PRoTECTIoNIsT BANKERS

The American Economist has had
much to say about the Free-Trade
international bankers, but that does
not mean that all bankers are Free
Traders nor that all are more inter-
ested IN internationalism than in
Americanism. The reverse is true.
There are bankers and bankers. The
international bankers. just now are
interested in building up foreign pro
ductive industries because they have
made large investments in foreign
industrial securities, securities which
they bought during the war at very
low figures and which they now wish
TO realize upon at par or as nearly so
as possible. Of course they are not
to blame for wishing to reap a profit,
but the people of this country Will be
to blame if they permit them to do so
at the expense of the American pro-
duetive industries. Americans have
themselves to blame if Free-Trade is
permitted to retain foothold in the
United States.
The international bankers are not
bankers in the true sense. Instead
they are speculators-spec
with other peoples money. If the
speculation turns out all right the real
owners of the money do not reap a
corresponding benefit. That goes to
the officers and stockholders of the
bank. In some sections of the cOun-
try if the bankers should engage in
the speculations which are entered in
to by New York bankers the deposit
ors would quickly withdraw their de
pOsits an place them in banks which
do only legitimate banking business.
The bankers of the West and the
bankers of the South are not interna-
tionalists, nor are they to any great
extent Traders. This is very
clearly shown by the fact that 5000
banks of the South are backing the
demands of the Southern Tariff
Association for an adequate Protect
i've Tariff on southern products. We
are not in sympathy with sectionaIism
in Tariff matters, but believe that the
interests of each and every section of
the country should receive the same
measure of consideration, but it is a
good sign when the bankers and bust
ness men of the South, which has for
many years been the stronghold of
Free-Trade, make an organized effort
to commit that section of the country
to an adequate Protective Tariff. We
trust that their efforts may not be in
vain, but that the "Solid South" may
give place to a 'Solid Country" a
country united upon the policy of
Tariff Protection for all American in
dustries. Economist.
