MEN PLEAD GUILTY,
ADVISED BY JUDGE

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. r.
Federal Judge Jacob Trieber has re-
fused to cut red tape and order the
release of Vurlen Orr and Luther
Wise, Missouri & North Arkansas
railroad strikers, who confessed to
burning railroad bridges on the adj
vice of a Judge who told them if they
did not plead guilty their lives would
not be spared by the mob.
Federal Judge Trieber refused to
release the prisoners on a writ Of ha-
beas corpus. He told them they could
ask the governor to pardon them
that they should beg for justice so
clearly due them.
Former Circuit Judge Mitchell tes-
titled that he advised Orr and Wise
to plead guilty to burning bridges
and take penitentiary sentences to
save themselves from mob violence.
The former judge is now acting as
attorney for the workers.
The two strikers, Judge Mitchell
said, reluctantly accepted his advice,
after declaring that they were not
guilty, and were sentenced to seven
years each in the penitentiary by
Circuit Judge Shinn.
Wise and Orr told Judge Trieber
they were threatened with lynching
unless they pleaded guilty to the
charge, and again declared that they
were not given an opportunity of a
fair trial at which, they said, they
could have established their inno-
cence.
Former Judge Mitchell testified
that Orr and Wise at first entered a
plea of not guilty, but that the mob
outside the court house, numbering
several hundred armed men, uttering
threats against the strikers, became
SO demontrative that he feared for
their lives and prevailed upon them,
after considerable argument, to save
themselves by taking penitentiary
sentences.
This same mob lynched striker at
Harrison January 10 last, and drove
300 railroad strikers and their fami-
lies from the town. Officials of the
Missouri & North Arkansas railroad
issued public call for all citizens to
uphold law and order" The mob
was the result of this call.

CARLISLE-PENNELL
SAW MILL BURNS

A fire that threatened to destroy
the entire plant of the Carlisle-Pen-
nell company at Carlisle late last
Sunday afternoon completely swept
away the big mill at that place. The
Aberdeen and Hoquiam fire depart
ments rendered valuable assistance,
and it was through their timely arri-
val that the fire did not destroy the
entire plant. The loss is estimated at
between 100000 and 100000.

FOUR WHEEL BRAKE .|S DEMONST RATED
Oakland True Blue Traveller Makes Splendid Showing
 In Recent Test

An unusual demonstration to show the efficiency of the four-wheel brakes in an emergency was given on Park avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets by the Oakland True Blue Traveller. which arrived in Birmingham from Pontiac, Mich. The Oakland Traveller Is winding up tour of $500 miles through the south and will stage its last public demon stration before the city officials of Atlanta
 The fire department sprinkled ten streets to give the safety brakes a severe test under the most trying conditions. Three cars were used in the demonstration. Atwo-wheel brake car was first sent over the slippery pavement and not only skid when the brakes were applied but the rear end swung around. The Oakland Traveller was then sent over the same course and at a speed of 30 miles an hour the car was brought to stop within two lengths. The last car used in ? the demonstration was 8 stock car of the BisselI Motor company, local dealers for the Oakland, and per formance similar to that given by the Traveller was made by the car.
 The passengers of the car are Charles Mcclellan, Pontiac. Mich., demonstrator, and Richard c. Moi fett, newspaperman of Detroit, In the large cities in which the car mas appeared tho city officials especially the fire and police chiefs have been interested spectators at the public demonstration. At Toledo, Columbus, Dayton, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock, Shreveport, New Orleans ana Mobile as well as a number of small +r cities the city officials have CO., operated and personally attended the demonstrations, which are arranged to show the protection for both the driver and pedestrian afforded by the four-wheel brakes.
 Following the demonstration here Wednesday the Oakland Traveller left for Atlanta, Ga. big reception Is planned for the dusty Traveller upon It's arrival in Atlanta. An escort of cars will meet the car outside of town and headed by a band the car will be paraded through the streets. Plans have. been made for demon stration.
 The crusade of the six Oakland Traveller throughout the United States in the interest of safety Is timely, due to the alarming increase in traf- fic accidents.
 The Oakland Motor Car company when it ordered the demonstrations announced; "The True Blue Oakland was deliberately planned to be the most perfectly balanced, the most &C., curately engineered and the finest built light six in the world"

PACKARD MOTORBOAT MAKES GREAT SHOWING
Winner Of Gold Cup Race Was
 Packard Powered

Consistent speed of 50 miles an hour for many hours is possible on the water in comfortable riding httle boats as a result of the hull and motor development brought about by the Gold Cup and International Sweepstakes races on the Detroit River recently held.
 The sweepstakes race, which car red purses totalling S25,0o0, brought about a new class of runabout speed boats and both races were marked by consistency in performance of some of the<motors which was called the most Remarkable in the history of internal combustion motors.
 The Gold Cup race is run each year in three heats of 90 miles each and the sweepstakes, which was held this year for the first time, is a 150-mile grind in one heat. Mo- tors for the Gold Cup race are limit ed to 625 cubic inches of piston dis placement and in the longer race a limit of 1850 is fixed.

 Col. J. G. Vincent, vice president of engineering of the Packard, won the Gold Cup again this year and in his Packard Chriscraft II took second place in the sweepstakes race. The average speed In the Gold Cup race was 455 miles an hour and in the sweepstakes race 1t was 50 miles an hour.

 Packard officers said that the ma rine motors are made with the same quality methods that are used in producing both the Slngle-Six and Single-E Eight cars and, they asserted, to this fact was due their 100 per cent score for reliability in the big beat races.

the hypocrisy of the demagogue. They knew it
was more popular in some quarters to demand a
fixed government price for wheat or some other
method by which the wheat farmer could lift
himself up by his legislative bootstraps, but
they declined to take part in such futile and
useless demagoguery.
Typical of their attitude was their set of
resolutions, and among the most significant of
these resolutions are the following:
"'Wheat is a world crop produced cheapest
on new land or with peasant labor. We have
neither new land nor cheap labor, and the time
possibly has passed when We can profitably
grow wheat for sale in the world market. We
would therefore recommend that the production
of wheat in the United States be reduced as
speedily as possible consistent with n reason
ably well balanced production program to our
needs.
"In our opinion the prosperity of the wheat
belt will depend on the degree to which the agri-
culture of this region is diversified. and the eN-
tent to which the family feeds itself and finds
profitable employment the year through. The
adding of dairy cows, brood sows, and poultry,
and the growing of a few crops for their main
tenance will in the end absorb much of the acre
age now devoted to providing surplus wheat
"The wheat farmer cannot lift himself out of
his present trouble by his boot-straps. lie must
recognize the law of supply and demand. There
is a world overproduction of wheat. The war
time wheat fever has passed and conditions have
changed.
"The acreage of wheat must be restricted. It
will not pay merely to reduce acreage without
putting something in to take the place of the
missing acres. The answer is diversified farm
ing. Other things will help, but the law of sup
ply and demand must be recognized.
while other states are Illuminating and fuss
ing and running around in circles, trying to
get hollow and artificial legislative relief, the
Southwestern wheat raisers who attended the
Kansas confero-ce have gone straight ut the
heart of the trouble"

A Monstrosity in Management

Former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has written a lengthy letter defending his adj
ministration of the railroads during the war,
but his statements are so obviously incomplete
in most respects that they are entitled to but
little credence from the American people. There
are a few highly important facts of which the
public is we'll aware and on which public con
demnation of government control OF the rail
roads is based. First and foremost of these is
that under the McAdoo regime and at n time
when there was the utmost need for conserva-
ton of labor, new wage scales were nut in force,
and new rules of employment adopted under
which Il far larger number of men were required
to do the same amount of work and wages per
man and the total amount of wage payments
were immensely increased, without any cores
ponding increase in railroad revenues.
During the war there was initiation in all
lines of business. Workmen received higher
wages, producers received higher prices. Any
business1ike management of the railroads would
have increased freight and passenger rates i'll
proportion to the increases in cost of operation.
When the government increased the wages of
employees it made those increases effective at a
prior date. When it allowed increases in rail
road rates it made those increases effective at
n subsequent date. Not only good business sense
but common honesty required that both changes
go into effect at the same time Failure to do
this was an injustice to the railroads, calling
for correction at some future time. Some meas
ure of correction was attempted when Congress
passed the act returning the railroads to their
private owners.
During the period Of government control 1t
was contended that, since railroad operation was
a government business, damage suits for per-
sonal injury and property loss could not be
maintained. Thus the railroad system was re-
lieved of payment of huge amounts, which, how.
ever, were a legal obligation upon the railroads
and which the government afterward was re-
quired to pay. These payments, however, were
not made during the period when the govern
ment had possession of the roads but were made
at a subsequent time and appear on the books
as an after expenditure, although an actual in
debtedness incurred during the government
regime.
Whether railroad property was adequately
maintained during the period of government
control is Il matter in dispute. On this subject
the public is not advised. Probably much testi.
mony must be taken to settle the question
finally and it probably will not be settled defin.
itely. The railroads were taken over unexpect-
eddy and they were rather suddenly returned.
Probably no railroad company could demon.
strate with any degree of exactness the relative
condition of its property, its road bed, its ties,
its stations, its locomotives, its freight cars. its
passenger cars, and its other equipment on the
two days mentioned.
Mr.. McAdoo may present a stack Of statistics
n mile high, but he will never be able to con.
vince the American people that his management
Of the railroads was either fair to the railroads
or to the government.

No Bootstrap Legislation

Former Governor Henry ]. Allen, of Kansas.
writing in his Wichita Beacon thus handles the
wheat question:
"Kansas and Minnesota are kindred spirits in
one thing-the production of wheat.
Minnesota once held the undisputed pre-.
eminence in wheat raising. A few years ago.
however, the great mills of Minneapolis began
surreptitiously to import Kansas hard winter
wheat to mix with their soft northern wheat,
because they found it made better flour. Min.
nesota has now definitely relinquished the
wheat pennant TO Kansas.
minnesota still thinks very considerably in
terms of wheat, however. The troubles of the
wheat farmer have caused the strange political
upheaval manifested in tho formation of the
non.partisan league.

Minnesota was expressing its discomfort in n
futile, blind way by trying to remedy its con.
ditions through legislative channels by the cleo.

Depends Upon His Aids

Mr.. Coolidge is trying to find some relief from
the onerous duties of the presidency by placing
greater reliance upon the Judgment of depart,
mental chiefs and other advisers. While us a
matter of course the president will keen in close
touch with all executive branches of the govern.
ment, their administration is left completely in
the hands of the cabinet officers. The strong
cabinet selected by the late President Harding
and which President Coolidge has wisely con.
tinued makes it possible to shift much Of the
burden of government from his own shoulders,
without any loss of efficiency and with the com.
plete approval of public opinion.
