La FOIIette's Speech
PleaSeS the Masses
(Bv Federated Press)

Washington = Has La Toilette
burned his political bridges and will
he lead in the formation of a new
political party, which will emphasize
the struggle of the masses for a bet
ter standard of living and for free
dom from economic exploitation
and autocratic judges on the other.
This seems to be the conclusion
drawn in Washington from the Madi-
son Square Garden speech Of the in
dependent progressive nominee. His
labor supporters are pleased with his
bold handling Of the issue of judicial
tyranny, and his campaign advisers
from the liberal ranks tell him that
his stand for public ownership and
distribution Of superpoWer on the On
taria plan will arouse the interest OF
millions of people whose cost of liv-
ing has become a never-ending worry.
He predicted, as a consequence OF
victory in November, that 1--WE pro
gressives will be in a position to use
our influence to bring about a revis-
ion Of the treaty Of Versailles which
now rests its dead hand upon the body
VI LuiOPC1 IL Will IIlCelIl IllchG VIC IctlI
cooperate intellectually with the
liberal governments of the world to
outlaw war, to abolish conscription, to
reduce to a purely defensive basis
naval, aerial and land armaments,
and place in the hands Of the people
of every country the decision upon
the declaration of war. 1t will mean
the end of war and the dawn of peace
for all the world"
1t was remarked that La Toilette
did not on this occasion of his first
important campaign speech touch up
on public ownership of railroads. He
is expected, however, to follow up his
own plea for public ownership of sup
erpower, and his sons recent state
ment showing the advantage of gov
ernment ownership of railroads ir
Canada, with a clearcut pledge of ac-
tion on public ownership Of the rails
in the United States.
But he will probably point out that
until the federal courts can be made
safe for legislation in the interest OF
the people every move toward public
ownership will be imperilled by the
judicial dictatorship. Curbing the
judges is fundamental to any change
in the exploited condition of 100000
900 Americans.
On that platform the new party
should be built.

Railroad Valuation
Starts Long Fight

Washington-The long fight of the
railroads against the valuation sys-
TEN of the interstate commerce COM
mission has taken a new angle and
the matter is now before the District
Of Columbia supreme court. This is
preliminary to its final appearance in
the United States supreme court,
which probably means years of liti-
cation.
The fight revolves around the com
missions valuation of the Kansas
City Southern railroad for the pur-
pose of setting rates. The commits
sion made its first decision in July,
1919, when it ruled that the proper
ty had a tentative value of $40, ,445,-
9O7. The railroad management in
sists that its property is valued at
practically twice that amount, and
that the commission considered only
its physical value and not it's intan-
gible values, such as good will and
earning capacity. If the latter claim
is upheld, high rates are justified.
The railroad managers insist that
the value should be based on the mar
ket value of their properties, while
the commission claims that the value
should be based on the amount of
money actually expended.
These two theories appear in every
rate-making proposal and the final
decision will have a far-reaching eff
feet.

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
C0mmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PromiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
A LITTLE HOOCH MIGHT HELP

A holy howl, long and loud, is go
ing up all over town about the horrl-
BILE taste, and smell too, of our much
cracked-up city water, and many peo-
pie are unable to use it for drinking
purposes.
1t is surely sorry dose, and more
closely resembles the taste Of some
tiauseous medicine than the fluid pre-
pared by the all-wise Creator to
quench mems thirst. y Truly little
shot of hooch might help it to Ger
tain extent.
Why this is thus no one seems to
know; it has happened semi
sionally in the past, but lately its re-
currence is growing in frequency and
violence-but the last dose is the
worst yet.
The fame of our newly installed
filtration plant has become state
wide, and we are supposed to have
a chemist who ranks high in his pro-
fession, and probably several assist
ant chemists Of lesser degree. Is 1T
possible they have slipped up on the
chemical formula or are in cahoots
with the distributors Of bottled spring
water and take this means of boost
ing their trade?
Not long ago the city dads were
notified by some of the higher ups
that our chlorine apparatus was in
bum shape, and new machine was
ordered. This last acquisition must
be Jim dandy, or else she's working
overtime. Anyhow she's unquestion-
ably succeeded in filling our city
water so blamed full of the odorifer-
Gus gas that using it internally has
ceased to be a pleasure.
The citizens will bless the day when
a smaller amount of chlorine gas is
deemed necessary to kill off the germ
we are told lurk in untold millions in
the aqua distributed through the
water mains.

Private Car Works
Making Big Money
(By Federated Press)

Observation-Disclosures of cars
for railroads by 130 private contract
companies in the United States was
21796 greater-in the number of cars
and cost the railroads 109% more,
in 1923 than in 1921, according to the
census division of the department of
commerce. The increased investment
in passenger coaches was only 17.7%,
but the increase in investment in
freight cars was 1920, as between
the year 1921, when the private COM
panies were wearing out the rolling
stock they received from the govern
ment, and were fighting the striking
shopmen, and the year 1923, when the
cars that had gone through the strike
were junk. The investment in new
cars in 1923 was 1869, 9,924,942, as
against $176,774,656 in 1921.
The report shows that the number
of wage eaners employed in making
these cars in 1923 was 76,438, as
against 45,121 in 1921. The wages
amounted to $123,047,23 in 1923, as
against $67,745,689 in 1921. This
same force produced other goods also,
the whole output bringing the COM
panies a gross profit of $55, 100000
in 1928 as against a gross profit of
$53,800,000 in 1921. The average
wage in 1923 was about $1,000 per
year, for men having steady work,
while in 1921 it was about $1,000.

A CARELESS HABIT

Many of US unthinkingly indulge in
careless habit which should be dis
continued 1t is that of the indiscrim-
mate striking of matches on any old
place, regardless of consequences.
A business man mentioned it the
other day and called attention to his
own store front as an example of
what these match strikers can do in
the way of defacing property.
1t costs something nowadays to fox
up the entrance to store, but often,
sometimes before the paint is dry,
along comes a fellow who wants a
light, and swipes a match along what
shold be a thing of beauty, leaving
scar which spoils and defaces it.
So let's cut out the practice and
use a less conspicuous place as a
striker, say the seat Of our pants

A PROGRESSIVE
SENATOR WHEELER DEFINES
THE TERN
Rather Likes Being Classed Among
Radicals Because 1t Places Him
In Such Good Company
By Senator Burton K Wheeler

By Senator Burton K Wheeler
Progressive Vice Pres. Candidate)
A progressive is one who does not
believe that all virtue and honor and
knowledge is in the past. A progress
sive has little respect for old things
simply because they are old. He has
faith in the ultimate triumph of the
right and believes in the future. Were
1t not for the progressive this would
be stagnant world. The progressive
is not afraid of new ideas-he will
try out most anything once. Abra-
nam was a progressive. When the
Lord appeared and said unto him,
Get thee out of the country and from
thy kindred and from thy fathers
house into a land that | shall show
thee and L will make thee a great ma
tlon," he did not hesitate but went.
tie evidently wanted to see the world
and better his condition-he wanted
to enlarge his horizon, get a broader
view. So he went to Canaan, while
he had been a standpatter he would
have stayed at home and lived and
died in Heran.
We are hearing great deal about
radicals. We hear of red radicals,
radicals of the pink variety. Radicals
with whiskers presumably imported
direct from Russia and just plain rad
icals without any fringes or trim
mngs. These radicals are supposed
to be dangerous creatures, forever
plotting to overthrow the government.
Indeed, we are told that they intend
to plant red flag on the White
House. What is radical anyway?
Do any of you know? Did you ever
see a genuine radical. A friend of
mine who is an authority on the sub
Ject of radicals told me that radical
is progressive who believes in what
he advocates.
have been called a radical and
rather like it, because it places me
IN such good company Christ was
the greatest radical of all time. He
was breaker of idols, the herald of
a new day; He was militant; He drove
the money changers out of the tenn
pie; He denounced cant and hypo-
crisy; He preached peace on earth and
good will toward men; He believed
IN what he advocated and they cru
Gifted Him.
Count me DER earth's chosen heroes
they were souls that stood alone.
While the men they agonized for hurl-
ed the contumelious stone;
Stood serene, and down the future
saw the golden beam incline
To the side of perfect justice, master
cred by their faith divine,
By one mans plain truth to manhood,
and to Gods supreme design.
AS native son of Massachusetts,
| am proud of its history. l am proud
of the little group of radicals that
landed at Plymouth Rock. | am proud
to be numbered among the radicals
of the Revolutionary period-men like
Samuel Adams and Hancock and
Warren, old Isreal Putnam, and that
fiery radical from Virginia, Patrick
Henry-all radicals who were ready
to sacrifice their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor for the cause
in which they believed.

Illinois Federation
lndOrSes La Toilette

Peoria, Ill.-The forty-second an
nual convention of the Illinois State
Federation Of Labor, indorsed La Fol-
lette for president and Len Small,
Republican governor of Illinois, for
reelection. Amalgamation of craft
into industrial unions to meet the
growing concentration of employers
in industry was declared none of the
federation's business. Unemployment,
which has hit over 500 of the min
ers in the state, was referred to the
executive board. Prison labor should
be devoted to goods not in competi-
ton with free labor, the convention
voted. lnjunctions in labor disputes
and the militarism inherent in De-
fense day were denounced.

Here is one from Gray Silver, the
Washington representative of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
which, shows how he stands among
the farmers:
1t is indeed a great pleasure to me
to have the opportunity of working
with such good friends of agriculture
as you have shown yourself to be and
to speak good word for those who
are loyal to it. If we had more men
in congress who understand agricul-
ture as you do and who had its in
terest at heart as you do. we would
have much less trouble in securing
equality for agriculture

was he who has been a pioneer in
the movement of taking politics out
of the field of contending forces anc
bringing it under the control of in
telligence by making available legis-
lative experience and research of re-
lated fields.
"Robert M. La Toilette has been a
leader of leaders, a pathfinder in po-
litical progress, a fearless foe OF
greed and exploitation and a cham
pion of the rights of the people. His
long public career has ever been di-
rected and sustained by faith in hu-
manity, high ideals of public service
and the duty of citizenship"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-09-26

After a careful and thorough study
of the Labor Day addresses of the
three presidential candidates, Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor has prepar-
ed for the use Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Non-Partisan Poll
tical Committee an analysis and opin-
ion of the three addresses. @
In this analysis made public today
at the A. F. of L. headquarters, Pres
ident GOmpers regards "these belat-
ed declarations, apologies and repu-
diations of party platforms" by the
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates as being welcome though "they
would have come with better grace
and greater forcefullness had they
been incorporated into party plat
forms"
Mr.. Gompers describes Senator La
Toilette as a "leader of leaders" and
declares that labor's appeal in behalf
of the La Toilette Wheeler candi-
dacies "is founded upon the prompt
ings of the human heart and the de-
sire to cleanse all political parties of
the dollar Vaccinations which have
warped the very fiber upon which
they were originally founded"
"In addition to the significance
normally attached to Labor Day as
recognition of the constructive serv-
ice which Labor renders to society,
the Labor Day addresses of the three
candidates for the presidency of the
United States constituted an eXtraor
dinary testimonial to the effective
ness Of organized labor's political
program" Mr.. Gompers complete
statement says:
"The Republican party convention
gave no consideration to those pro-
posals which labor submitted as of
paramount Importance for the well
fare of the millions who do the work
of the nation. The representatives
of labor went to that convention at
the solicitation and expense of Amer
ica's wage earners. They were given,
not hearing but an appearance and
the appeal of labor was shamefully
swept aside. Yet on Labor Day, the
Republican candidate for the highest
honor within the gift of the nation re-
ceived group of labor men, unknown
to labor with few exceptions, and in
an address eXtolled the victorious and
glorious deeds Of his party in bring
ing about conditions of life and en-
ployment that the wage earners enjoy
and which they achieved in spite of
the persistent drive of those in gov
ernmental authority to lower those
standards.
"The Democratic party convention
did not treat labor much better. The
representatives. of the workers went
to that convention also. They plead
ed the cause of labor and of all hu-
manity. Though a courteous hearing
was extended that convention like
wise Haunted the hopes of Americas
wage earners and its proposals were
artfully turned into political pro-
nouncements which practically repu-
dated more constructive declarations
on labor by former democratic con-
ventions. Yet on Labor Day the can
didate of the Democratic party for
president Of the United States evil
IDENTIFY realizing that the party which
has entrusted leadership into his
hands, had gone sadly astray, en-
deavored to correct this grievous
error by repudiating his party plat

MAKING THE BEST OF 1T

A farmer brought some produce to
the city and sold it. Thought he 81
will surprise my wife" He bought
suit of clothes, hat and a pair of
shoes, and put them under the back
seat. On his way home he stopped at
the river, took off all his old clothes
and threw them in. Then he looked
under the seat for his new outfit.
They were gone! Finally he got in
the buggy and said, "Giddap, Maud
We'll surprise her anyhow"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-09-26

This one, from Frank Morrison,
Secretary Of the American Federation
of Labor, indicates in what esteem he
is held by the great army of work
ing people:
The record of Congressman William
M. Morgan of the Seventeenth Ohio
District on measures Of interest to
Labor shows that Mr.. Morgan has
voted favorably in every instance. In
addition to that we can testify that in
committees and on the floor of the
House, Congressman Morgan has
been active in the interest of the
wage -earners and the masses of the
people.
