BUT ONCE A YEAR.

Secretary Duffln Saturday got word from Ed Stebbins, of Blackhawk, that he would be on hand Tuesday with his family and stay over until Friday at the county fair. Wednesday seems to be the baby show, and three hundred and twelve babies are already entered.

These are the days of county fairs, "old home weeks" and family reunions. The most up-to-date photo play has not been able to replace this manifestation of nelghborllness, for, true to their trite posters, the fairs are "bigger and better than ever before."

It Isn't the people who get all their -WMtfl In the R. F. D. boxes that crowd the entrance tent for admission, either. I In the. homes of many city folk there fare preparations to go "back home" for i a week, or at least a day, to renew olditime acquaintances. This)Is especially 'true if there Is a motor car in the family. -And "back home" there is much household activity. The "spare bedroom" gets dusted, Aunt Susan's unparalleled strawberry preserves are brought forth from the dark shelves of the fruit cellar, and yellow-legged roosters sacrifice their fair young lives on the altar of hospitality. Early in the morning the palings of the backyard fence are a-glisten with shiiny pans, the dlshtowel hung out to "sun on a convenient shrub, and the broom turned upside down, Just outside the -kitchen door in the conventional rural manner. The fair is no ordinary event it comes but once a year, and even ap-ple-butter making goes by the board until the festivities are over. "At the "agricultural exhibits" one sees much to approve. The fact that oitie -may .have annually admired Grandma Smith's Rose of Sharon quilt and gazed repeatedly with unfeigned delight on Sadie Jones' hairpin-work tidy, interferes in no way with the enjoyment of the occasion. The saucy blue ribbons attached to Rhode Island

Reds and the plump Plymouth Rocks, like the star spangled banner, are still tljere!

CRY OF WOLF.

Mr. Hughes is trying to make it appear that President Wilson at the behest of the railroad brotherhoods seized capital by the throat and choked lt into submission without cause, logic or chance for its life. Ml*. Hughes tries to represent President Wilson as a tyrant using sympathy for labor as an esreuse for getting votes, and garrulously scolds away on the theme that in the settlement of the railroad strike

this country surrendered something' that had been gained only by a long, fight and which will shake the foundation of the republic.

This is an issue upon which President Wilson undoubtedly will meet him willingly. Everyone knows that the Adattison act did avert a disastrous strike, but there has been no undermining of the republic, such as Mr. Hughes paints. Mr. Hughes knows better, the people know better, and none will likely share Mr. Hughes' pretended alarm.

By the Adamson measure itself provision is made for the appointment of a commission of three to investigate the effect of the eight-hour day as adapted to railroad operation and to report its findings to congress. This report must be made within nine months following the law's taking effect at the beginning of the new year. This will be an assistance to congress, but consideration of the problem which the recent threatened strike brought to a focus cannot be delayed till this commission reports.

The relationship between the transportation lines and the national welfare is too intimate to permit a sudden difference over wages or hours to throw these lines into idleness. Justice must be done both employers and employes, but Justice must also be done the millions who represent the party of the third part, whose health, convenience and prosperity are indissolubly associated with freedom of railway operation.

Capable leadership is needed as congress and the people undertake to work out this second phase of the recent crisis. No exact precedents exist for guidance. Prejudices will be encountered. But we have the leadership, and the experiences of the past week should furnish the determination.

Out of/this experience, trying and threatening as it was, will come a saner, broader-minded handling of the' American railway problem as it relates to the public welfare. The next session of congress should see some significant history made in this field of legislation

GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL./

The passage of the child labor bill within a month after President Wilson expressed a desire for its passage has brought national commendation to Senator Kern, upon whose shoulders the president placed the responsibility of piloting it through the senate. The voters of Indiana who have always given due credit to Mr. Beveridge for having advocated such a measure, will be Interested in the fact that its passage was largely due to the diplomacy, the, tact, and the tireless energy of Senator Kern, and the fact Is generally known over the country. The Asheville Citizen, of Asheville, N. C., which reached this office yesterday, editorially paid him the following tribute: "The announcement that the democratic senators favoring child labor legislation, headed by Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana* had determined to push the Keating bill through at this session will come as welcome news to all who have labored unceasingly in behalf of suffering childhood. Thef victory has not been an easy one, by any means. The general public Js aware that the most powerful influences were brought to bear in an effort to stifle all action on child labor legislation at this session of congress. When the situation looked darkest President Wilson went to congress with the urgent request that the Keating bill be passed at this session, and he made it clear to democratic senators that they could not afford to evade their obligations to the country in this matter. "While there is glory enough to go around for all supporters of the Keating bill, the credit for victory must lie

A broad smile spread over the face of Rabbi I. E. Marcuson, of Temple Isreal, when he was asked the question, "How did you earn your first dollar?" "There is something rather funny about that," he said, "as I made my first dollar tutoring a man who has now gained an international reputation as a student."

Rabbi Marcuson was born in Cincinnati, O., Dec. 18, 1872, and after completing his common school and high school education he took up the' study of the ministry at the Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati.

While he was completing his course of study there a youngster about 15 years old came to him and asked his assistance, as the boy wished to prepare himself for a college course. In those days, Rabbi Marcuson says, the boys were glad of a chance to do a little tutoring, as a dollar looked mighty big.

Rabbi Marcuson took up the work of teaching the future Rabbi Hebrew, and assisted him In translating the book of Genesis from Hebrew into English. At the present time Rabbi Marcuson's former student is a professor at the Union Hebrew college, and is regarded as one of the best Hebrew scholars and bible

largely with the president and with Senator Kern." While all jwho have worked so zealously in behalf of the Keating measure, which would forever end child slavery in this country, have a proud share in this signal triumph over the most powerful interests that have yet arrayed themselves against national legislation, they will not begrudge the tribute which is due the president and Senator Kern. Had it not been for the watchful insistence of the latter that the bill be passed at thifr session, the president's request would have been lost sight of in the senatorial caucus.

WHAT PEACE MEANS.

In the statement of bank clearings issued yesterday it was set out that the increase In bank deposits in the United States during the paj3t four years amounts to $3,119,811,000. This is money that is being conserved by the peaceful and prosperous conditions of this nation.

In another column appeared something on war expenses In Europe which offers an interesting contrast. England has so far borrowed £1,214,631,000. With the treasury bills, this makes a total equivalent to $10,000,000,000. England—that is, Great Britain—is now spending at the rate of $500,000,000 a ^month, tuid France s, little more, say f$520,000,000

Russia, Alfred Neymarck computes that the monthly expenses of the four allied nations are not far from $1,800,000,000 a month, or $60,000,000 a day.

Finance Minister Ribot has estimated the authorized expenses of France from the beginning of the war, August 1, 1914,, to the 30th of September, 1916, at $11,000,000,000. The Parliamentary Budget reporter reckons that they amount by the end of this year to $12,600,000,000. The figures of the Italian treasury minister would give about $4,000,000,000 for Italy's total war expenses by the end of next December. Thus these three countries together will have spent by the end of this year perhaps $30,000,000,000. And the enormous expenses of Russia, of which there is no practical estimate, have still to be added.

Study the parallel and then realize what is meant by gratitude for peace on this side of the Atlantic.

HOROSCOPE.

Newspaper Syndicate.

Monday, September 11, 1916.

This may be rather an unlucky day. the sun is in a strongly beneflc aspect that dominates, while Uranus is1 friendly. Saturn, Mars, Venus and Neptune are in evil place.

The full moon on this date presages vast expenditures of public money and great waste. This is read by*the position of Jupiter in relation to M&rs.

Saturn denotes an unfavorable time for agriculture, probably through inclement weather and possibly floods.

MSning, also, comes under an uncertain sway read as indicating large outputs of ore, but fluctuations in the market.

This is not a lucky day for speculation. Brokers and financiers should especially avoid stocks any way connected with underground workings, whether they be mines, tunnels or subways.

Neptune Is in an aspect believed to encourage fraud and deceit of every sort. The sway Is so strong as to presage treachery among friends. Women should be especially cautious, ad they are believed to be easily affected by the rule.

There is a sign indicating great excitement in Paris, which may benefit financially, despite trying conditions.

Venus will exercise great influence in the coming weeks, which will bring sensational incidents into the lives of women.

Next month .may offer extraordinary opportunities to actresses and singers. Again the popularity of all sorts of amusements is presaged by the stars, which indicate profits to those who offer what is best.

Astrologers see indications pf peace movements that attract attention through the remainder of the year, but they predict the continuance of the war long after its end seems near. They say that 1917 will be drenched with blood.

Persons whose birthdate it Is may have many troubles in '.heir business affairs, but they can overborne apparent difficulties. Both men and women should conserve their financial resources.

Children born on this day may have obstacles in the way of success, but they should' be exceedingly intelligent, ambitious and industrious.

Our lesson for today Is the thrilling incident of Paul's arrest. History is replete with the strange spectacle of good men suffering as enemies of society. The greatness of Paul la manifest In the way he meets the unjust accusations of his countrymen, He is not seeking to further his own personal interests, otherwise his ardor soon would have cooled, He is conscious of a. great mission to which he must be true at any cost, The nobility of his purpose lifts him above resentment above discouragement in the face of persecution,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.—At last America has made emphatic answer to the contemptible conspiracy instituted and manipulated by Ehgland at the Paris conference to shut the United States out of the allied countries in a commercial way after the war. The black-listing of American firms on the part of England was by far the greatest piece of impudence that we have encountered during the war. After that the stealing of our commercial letters. The government has protested to the. limit through the regular channels of diplomacy. England's answer has been one of charactertstic insolence. And with that answer the president and the secretary of state carried the case to congress with the request for the power to make the displeasure of the American people felt.

That power has been granted. It Is one of the most drastic measures growing out of the war. This law gives the president the power he asked for—the power to deny by proclamation the use of the American mails and express,.telegraph, qable and wireless to the citizens of any belligerent nation which does not accord to American vessels, citizens, companies or corporations full facilities of trade and commerce and unhampered use of the mails.

It gives the president the power he has asked for—to withhold clearanoe to foreign or domestic vessels from American ports which give preference in trade, or are guilty of prejudice or discrimination in accepting freight or passenger cargoes.

It gives the president the power he asked for—to employ the land and naval forces to enforce retaliatory measures and prohibit importation of goods from nations which prohibit American importations.

Brewing Some Time,

This is Woodrow Wilson's blow to John Bull right between the eyes. In these columns we have predicted the ultimate' necessity for some such measure for eighteen months, England went to war against Germany for commercial reasons—because she could riot compete with Germany in peaceful conflict. And from the hour she

went to war she-, has been waning on American rights upon the sea to the end that we may not profit by her own temporary diversion to the field of Mars. In doing this she has played the part of a great international anarchist and criminal. Treaties she has treated as scraps of paper. The laws of nations she has trampled upon with impunity. Our protests she has treated with contempt. But the climax came with the Paris conference called at the Instigation of England for the sole purpose of forcing her allies into an offensive and defensive commercial alliance, aimed not any more at Germany and Austria, than at the United States. No action was taken here until the government ascertained that the Paris conference was an infamous antiAmerican meeting. When in furtherance of the purposes of that conference John Bull had the impudence to blacklist American business firms that dared to trade with German or Austrian houses, or to trade with houses that did trade with German or Austrian houses, a blow was struok at the very vitals of American's commercial liberties. That the American people will not tolerate. And now Woodrow Wilson has answered that.

But not without a protest. His Britanio majesty's right servile valet, little Gussie Gardiner, of Mass., a reactionary, son-in-law of his Britanic majesty's representative in the American senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, rose right up to denounce the United States in unmeasured terms for daring to interfere with England's royal and divine right to steal our letters and blacklist our business men and destroy our commerce. This is one of the type of contemptible English lick spittles that has convinced Yankee haters like Lord Robert Cecil that the United States feels complimented at being treated as an English province and adds emphasis to the fact that on American soil the Anglo-Saxon hyphenate must go.

No doubt we shall haye seme vigorous protests from England and take it from me England will get such rejoiners that will shake John Ball out of the insulting complacency into which he has fallen in his arrogant attitude toward this country.

Nor is that all: The United'Stateis at» the instance of the president Is arranging to have American naval vessels convey our malls to the east to the' end that England may not be able to" continue stealing our commercial totters for the benefit of John Bull's shop keepers.

Every one who Is not art English' lickspittle, a copperhead, and a traltor, will applaud this spirited reply to England's unbearable Insolenoe.'

Apropos of this action, nothing has attracted more interest of an amused sort during the week than Roosevelt's bitter denunciation of the Germans and Hughes' telegram of congratulation to Roosevelt for bitterly denouncing the Germans. That Is putting it honestly but a little bluntly. But that it Is putting It honestly may be Inferred from the fact that Hughes told the Germans in St. Louis that he Indorsed every word of Roosevelt's speeoh.

The Turn of the Wheel.

And that reminds me of a conversation I h,ad the other day with one of the leading Washington correspondents of a great German daily paper. Six months ago that man, who is a persorial friend of mine, was bitter against the president and was predicting his defeat. The other day when I met him for the first time in months I asked him how he liked his candidate. And this Is about what he said. I commend it to the consideration of the Germans: "I can't see how Hughes can win. I can't see why he ought to win. And 1 can't see why any of our people should support hir^i." "What has changed your mind?," I asked. "Well you know I have not been enamored of Wilson's policy. I have felt that he was unnecessarily severe upon Germany, and rather too mild with the allies. It seemed to me that he was determined to keep hammering away ctn us. The prolongation of the Lusitania matter gave me the impression that he did not want it settled. Then came the settlement. It was doubtless settled right. I expected him to pick a quarrel with Germany over something else. He hasn't. Not a word more against Germany. And when the submarine came to Baltimore he gave it every protection guaranteed by the policy he had outlined against Germany in the interest of the protection of merchant vessels. His conduct here was absolutely correct. "Now the worst I can think to say about WilsOn is that I think he is Inclined, unconsciously perhaps, to favor the cause of the allies in his individual
