BY THE WAY
Comment and Criticism About Things
 Doing in the World.

Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, predicts that the working people in general will not La Toilette newspapers herald his words abroad as if the Judge were a second Moses, delivering words of wis dom from a modern Mt. Sinai.
 Judge Gary hasn't made reputation as a prophet, a fact that the anti-La Toilette organs conveniently forget, For instance, there were immigration ands the 12-hour workday, on both of which Judge Gary essayed the role of sooth- saver.
 On immigration, the Judge saw ruin for the nation unless a flood of cheap labor was permitted to enter the coun- try, and, incidentally, the steel mills. But the flood has been barred and the nation still survives.
 On the 12-hour day, the Judge came an even worse "cropper." He declared, only few months ago, that the 8-hour day wouldn't work in the steel industry Now he and his associates are admit ting that the S-hour day, where it has been established in the steel mills, IS working, despite their predictions of disaster.
 So, gentle reader. there is no need to get excited over what the Judge has to say about how the working people will vote He has failed as a prophet be- fore and there IS no reason now why he should be listened to in breathess proc1ain1ing the law from the mountain tops.
 Organized labor has found the years since the slump of 1920 highly profit able The farmer, since the same slump, has found agriculture unprohtable, the i United States Department of Agricul- ture reports. Why has, one group of producers been making progress, while another has not
 The answer lies in organization. The workers have been organized and shave successfully resisted efforts to beat down their wages and standards of liv- ing.
 The farmers have not been organized and so have not been able to set the price of their labor, which in their oc- cupation is represented by the price of 1 farm products So they have been fore ed to work for compensation that has not yielded a commercial return on their invested capital or a fair wage for themselves and their families.
 In organization lies the hope of the farmer. When he organizes he will be able to exert a/measure of control Ct farm production, farm prices and, farm marketing He will then be able to defeat the predatory groups that make farming improbable, just as labor has fought successfully the pirates of the industrial world

It was Dawes whose bank violated the banking laws of Illinois and made possible the feecing of 4,0O0 depositors.
 You may not remember the story.
 Back in 1896 Dawes worked for Mark Hanna to line up Illinois for Mckinley.
 Mckinley, being elected, appoint ed Dawes Comptroller of Currency; that is, he was the keeper of the conscience of all the national banks. He was their mentor and adviser.
 Then Roosevelt became President and Dawes went out of office.
 He started bank in Chicago, called the Central Trust Co.
 Later Lorimer was thrown out or the U. s. Senate.
 So he started a bank in Chicago, too.
 Under the state law it is neces- sary to show the state officials the cash that has been paid into capital and surplus before a new bank can open its doors for business.
 Lorimer claimed to have $1,25O,000 capital and surplus.
 He wrote a check for that amount on Dawes bank. The check wasn't worth the paper it was written on, but it was part of scheme to keep inside the letter of the law, while actually breaking the law to smith, ereens.
 The state banking officials called on Lorimer and asked to see the $1,25O, 900 in cash.
 "It's over in the Central Trust

HAT MAKERS WIN STRIKE

Orange, N. J., Sept. 6.-Four hun dred hatmakers and finishers employed in the Orange Valley returned to work Wednesday after strike of two weeks
 "All the request of the employees were met by the manufacturers" said Mir chael F. Condron, secretary and trea- surer of the National Finishers' Union.

vauIts," he said.
 They went over, and in the vaults big packages of currency were ex- hibited, counted and verified.
 Does this belong to the Lorimer bank?"
 "Yes."
 So Lorimer's bank was started on wind ,and when it went bust 4,000 depositors were skinned.
 For 10 years the lawyers of the Dawes hank wiggled and twisted as court after court decided that if it said the money was Lorimer's it must make good.
 By curious coincidence the IIIin- ois supreme court finally decided against the Dawes bank and in fav- or of the Lorimer depositors on the very day that the Cleveland con- vention pinned its twice-spurned vice-presidential rose on the Dawes lapel.
 And Dawes says obedience to law is the chief issue in this campaign!
 No thanks.
 We are willing to take lessons in morality from most anybody. We realize that we are all poor critters and miserable sinners, but we just can't sit still and be lectured on the sacredness of law by Hell and Maria Dawes.
 P. S-You remember it was the Dawes family's Pure Oil Go. stock that was SO greatly fancied by Jess Smith and Roxie Stinson and the other boys and girls of the late Ohio gang"

Big Increase Shown
In KenOSha Voters

A check up of the various polling
districts of the city today revealed
that a large number of voters had
registered on Tuesday on the last
registration day before the general
elections. In several of the wards as
many as three hundred new voters
were added to the list and in all of
them the increase was more than had
been anticipated.
Election clerks declared that the re-
suit of registration day showed with
out question that the heaviest vote
ever recorded in Kenosha county will
be cast on next Tuesday. SIS
Because of the heavy registration
a special meeting of the members of
the election boards has been called
for this evening to consider the pos
sibility of adding more help to the
boards. 1t is claimed that in some
of the wards, noticeably the third,
it will be impossible for the present
board to handle the situation with the
speed demanded of them.
No definite figures regarding the
number Of voters registered could be
given out as yet, but it was stated
that there was big increase in each
and every precinct.
