THE NATION'S STOREHOUSE.
^Congressman Ralph W. Moss saya Indiana and the states of the S^-^abash and Mississippi valleys are nation's storehouse. From here drawn the food supplies of the na911 and of much of the world and ,he he\ believes that the farmer of
Sections should be generously eouraged and rewarded for his ben ions to his fellowman. Vast acreages of fertile land which be under cultivation are in

yatops which should be drained imme l|i&ately, farmers who should have silos •fj&td efficient mbdern machinery to add 3jfo'tlte volume and economy ot produce i^on of vegetable and meat foodstuffs '-Jemt without them and the condition of

RAILROADER'S LETTER.
iljpH '^There is a suspicion that Judge 1-Hughes is overdoing, his criticism of IS .w*' *3*esidieiit Wilson-s ^action in the rail,J^ad strike. There may be honest dif^S^'^rence of opinions regarding the matt^r, but the desperate criticism of the %*didate breathes an animus toward
Hsj^bor. that is wholly unnecessary in it t$e
case and discloses a bias so strong ly&at it would doubtless survive long ,.t% "^Efter next November. The judge is fitting himself in a light towards the '^V^rkitigmen of the country that is not l^-^^Ustifiecl by any ambition he may have l^^Bjid.he probably does not mean it at

Failure to agree implied paralysis of the country's land transportation. There is failure to agree. It comes to the eye of a strike'. The president at the fifty-ninth minute of the eleventh] hour, and with considerable other business on his hands, seizes the bull by the horn to avert a national calamity. Out of the pending- investigation a fairer, more stable relationship ought to issue."

And that is the way that lies the truth—that Mr. Wilson did exactly the right thing. And, it seems to tne, anyone with the sight of two ordinary eyes should easily see it. It does not take the 25,000-lens power of .sight of the dragon fly to see his motive and his judgment. WKh him it is right and justice for both labor and capital, but, as I have said again and again, it is the country with him it is "not that I love Caesar less, but Rome more." And anyone not seeing this matter clear of prejudice fails in having the good of the country to heart. Shall any one party or class rule? Shall greed rule and enslave? Heaven forbid that we as a nation should reach that sordid depth.
Let us all work together for the reelection of Mr. Wilson, not only because he has won this reward, but the country sorely needs him. Remember Mr. Hughes is a candidate.
VANDALJA SHOPS.
POOR TEAM WORK.
Monday night Raymond Robins, in his sp|ech here, insisted that Judge Hughes was nominated as a progressive and that his nomination was due as much to the progressive thinkers of the country as to any other element. He tagged Mr. Hughes as a real progressive.
Today, John M. Parker, progressive vice-presidential candidate, in a telegram to the New Ybrk World, gives the following reasons why he will speak against Hughes: "Because, with gneat respect for Mr. Hughes' personal character, in my humble judgment the greatest calamity to this nation would be to again turn it over to the republican machine, which is still under the absolute control of the same bosses against whom even lifelong republicans arose in vigorous and overwhelming revolt. "Because no man could have closely observed conditions at Chicago without marvelling at the complete domination of the republican old guard' or pitying progressive. leaders who succumbed to that powerful influence and then deliberately betrayed and sought to turn over to the republican party' men who can neither be bullied nor bought "Because, instead of constructive statesmanship, republican leaders prefer to indulge' ifi personal aMse and seek to revive sectionalism, v which all true patriots know is a. dead and buried issue "Because I earnestly believe a national party, unbought, unbossed, knowing np sectionalism and standing firmly for protection and human welfare is urgently needed and thousands of men will join only, such a party. "For these and many other reasons I_ expect to go to Ohio, New York and perhaps other states, say what took place at Chicago and show What progressive measures have accomplished within the .past four years for humanity and for...the nation."
Either Mr. Robins is wrong or Mr. Parker is wrong and the evidence seems t*b rest largely with the "stalwart Louisiana progressive.
PERKINS' WARNING
George W. Perkins, who lead the progressives into the sunken road at Chicago from, which they -never returned, and more recently olf'Wall-street, has issued a statement to the people of the American nation in which he says: "There is a crisis upon us equal to if not greater than that of 1860. The issues of this election may be as mo-t mentous as those of 1864."
Precisely. The case could not be better stated. It presents in a nutshell one commanding reason why Woodrow Wilson shotfld be returned to the white house for another four years.
The crisis of 1860 involved the integrity of the American nation and Abraham Lincoln was chosen, a minority president, to lead the nation through trials to lasting triumph. The crisis was not over when the campaign of 1864 was fought.- President Lincoln was again a candidate. He was fought tipon the war issue. His opponents argued that he had made a failure of his administration, a failure of his attempt to save the union, and should be dismissed with a rebuke and McClellan put in the white house.
In 1912 Woodrow Wilson was chosen to meet a crisis. A minority president like Lincoln, he took office at a trying time in the history of the country. The outbreak of the European war precipitated a new and more dangerous crisis. Continued disturbances In Mexico complicated the president's problem.
Lincoln asked for a popular indorsement of his record in 1864 Just as Woodrow Wilson asks one now. The country, was cursed .with copperheadism then. Precisely similar influences are at work now to bring abotit the defeat of President Wilson.
President Wilson is condemned today from much the same motives as impelled the condemnation of Lincoln. Mr. Wilson has been patient and painstaking in his handling of problems, as

of the slap-stick variety. .Mr. Wilson has kept his head and bided his time, as Lincoln did, while the shallowbrains of all parties were. Bhouting themselves hoarse over the president's supposed incapacity for action.
Mr. Perkins chooses to make himself spokesman of those who would exploit Mexico for private profit, of those who long for the good old, fat old days of high tariff extortion by choice he becomes an apostle ©f re-action, an exhorter for political bourbonism—representative and spokesman for all the divers causes and Influences whose sole common Interest is their desire to discredit President Wilson.
Mr. Rooseve\t wants this nation to punish the kaiser for invading Belgium. Mr. Sanders want3 a boycott on German goods in the way of a high tariff. Politics is a great game.
Uncle Joe Cannon says that all of the progressives are back and does it In such a way that those who haven't returned yet can understand that they can just as well stay out.
The cheeping of the little birds is an inspiring sound in the springtime—but doesn't the cheery peeping of the radiator give you almost the same sensations in the fall?
Today the job is hunting the man— In all industries. But in politics it remains, coy, and the' man is hot on the trail

Newspaper Syndicate.
Saturday, September 80, 1916.
Another unfavorable day, according to astrology. Saturn, Mars, Uranus and Venus are all in evil place.
The stars presage danger from love affairs. During the coming months romance will lead many into misfortunes of various sorts, the seers declare. The middle-aged and even the old will be foolish.
There is a sign most forbidding for •men who have won high place and begun to enjoy the fullness or years. The winter threatens ill-health and many deaths among persons of prominence.
Day after day the stars appear to give notice that military affairs will cccupy attention in the United States, but the chief concern will be expenditures and management of army matters, both of which will be criticised widely.
There is an encouraging sign for art in the United States. A great sculptor will gain recognition.
Those who wad the Btars announce that the Jews are to attain distinction in national affairs, and many honors are, promised both men and women.
Persons whose birthdate it is may have quarrels and litigation in the new year. They should not make any changes. Their affairs may cause anxiety but they can overcome troubles by attention to business.
Children born on this day may be impetuous and headstrong. They are likely to bte talented, but they may not succeed in business.
