Josephus Daniels abandoned a cabinet meeting to leap into the Tar Heel state breach. IN THE LAND OF BULL DURHAM. While the king and his counsellors were gath- ered about the flesh pots in the white temple by the river an alarm was sounded upon the outer portal. The king demanded, ‘What, Ho!” And in the silence that instantly fell upon the assembled counsellors, the king's scribe entered the chamber. Prostrating himself before His Illus- trious Effulgency the scribe spoke these wotds: “Most worshipful and scintillating king, tidings of alarming and distressing import have been brought by courier from one of the sacred prov- inces by the distant sea. The courier doth tell of the invasion of the sacred land of the Bull Durham by the infidel, and by false teaching and strategy have turned the people from the true faith and their loyalty to your majesty. The infidel would clothe with the robes of high office and set up as rulers over the people followers of the false and wicked faith and thereby wrest from the sover- eignty of our most righteous? Viegow this ‘rich land that has been a part of thy kihgdom war of the tribes.” : The king received the news in silence, but was much moved thereat. “Send unto me Josephus, the boatman,” said the king. nine And the counsellors, the lackeys and all the ser- vants deserted the fleshpots and gathered about the throne, for they were sore disturbed for their king. , * In all the years of his reign they had not known such calamity to befall his rule. For the people who had become false to the king were Josephus’ people and that had always been steadfast and constant. When Josephus was come, the/king bade him mount the fleetest camel in the royal stables and make all speed to the land of Bull Durham, to allow no spear of grass to grow up and mature under the hoofs of his worthy mount. And when he shoud come to the land of his birth to make diligent inquiry concerning the acts and things done by the infidels and if found to be true, in accordance with the tidings of the courier, to denounce the infidels and drive them and their ungodly works .from the sacred soil of Bull Durham. Furthermore, Josephus was instructed by the king to beseech the people to abandon their wicked ways and return to the faith of their fathers and repent their sins in sack- cloth and ashes against the great day of the solemn referendim. If this be done in humility of spirit all would be forgiven and they would be re- stored to the favor of their king. Josephus is even now among his own people and kindred in the land of his fathers, laboring with his mighty strength for their salvation and for the glory of his king. Moreover, to save the declining reign of his liege from sorrow and humiliation. Of twenty-two billion dollars that the world’s war cost the United States, one half, or eleven thou- sand million dollars, were either stolen or wasted, and still this administration keeps it up. A KANSAS SUGGESTION. Out of Kansas has come many progressive ideas that in some form have found their way into the stattitory law of the states and have worked well. The latest suggestion from Kansas is from a group of farmers assembled in convention to in- guire into the prospects and needs of their business. Transportation, as a matter of couruse, received attention because of its importance to the business of agriculturue, and a resolution was adopted fav- oring a law that will compel a railroad to furnish a car within forty-eight Hours after being ordered | or pay demurrage equal to the amount of demur- m since the greats; rage charged to the shipper for failure to load or load cars. * Qualifying regulations to guard against injus- tice in specific instances might be necessary, but the general principle, of the plan proposed by the farm- ers seems to be sound. Imposition of _ penalties against both carrier and shipper for undue délay would undoubtedly hasten the delivery, loading, transportation and unloading of cars, thus making the present number of cars perform an increased | service, The measure of penalty. proposed seems also to be just. If a railroad be permitted to ‘charge a shipper a certain sum per day for failure to load or unload a car, it would’ seem equally just, and also in the interest of expedition, to permit. the shipper to collect exactly the same charge per day for fail- ure of the railroad to supply the car within a reas- onable time after demand. That the shipper should have the right to collect a penalty is even more in the public interest than that the carrier should have the right to collect demurrage, for delay in supply- ing cars may easily result in enormous loss of per- ishable commoditics—a loss which is felt, not only by the individual owner of the goods, but by the entire consuming public. The Kansas suggestion is supported by sound reasoning. Warren Harding says: “I would rather be a farmer than anything else in the world. It is the only occupation I know of where you can sit of your own fence and figuratively tell everybody te go jump in the river.” A WITHERING BLIGHT.’ The blight of Wilsonism will leave a scar that will require years of time to efface. Instead of being written down in history as one of the greatest presidents of the republic, and the opportunity was presented to him to achieve a most glorious record, the pages alloted to him will be referred to only as evidence of what to avoid. Wilsonism in American government began with the enactment of a tariff law which surrendered American markets to foreign producers, turning the balance of trade against us, closing American mills and forcing millons of American workmen to the humiliation and suffering of free soup houses and free lodgings. Wilsonism had its second manifestation in the demand upon congress that it repeal that provision of the Panama canal act which accorded American coastwise shipping free tolls through a canal built with American money and American enterprise— an abject surrender to some foreign power whose identity has never been made known and the na- ture of whose representations has never been dis- closed. eee % Wilgonism. turned. out of diplomaticenpsts men of ability, trainiig and Successful experience, ane supplanted them with “deserving Democrats,” most of whom had no better claim to appointment than the size of the campaign contributions made by themselves or their sponsors. Wilsonism made a farce, a delusion and a snare of the classified civil service, which had been grad- ually brought to a high standard by Presidents Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. Partisan greed drove efficiency out of the public service. Wilsonism played fast and loose with first one faction and then another in Mexico, promising Americans protection at home and abroad and then advising them to surrender their rights to Mexican bandits. Wilsonism sent American troops into Mex- ico for a definite purpose, which was abandoned and the troops withdrawn in humiliation. Wilsonism inflated the currency, needlessly ad- vanced the cost of living, adopted wasteful meth- ods in letting war contracts, squandered the pro- ceeds of war taxes and war bonds, and insisted upon continuing war expenditures after the war was over. Wilsonism refused to let America become a party to a peace treaty unless there should be coupled with it a surrender of American sovereignty to a superstate, together with an obligation to’ fur- nish men and money’ and resources: to fight foreign wars at the command of a league controlled by foreign nations. Wilsonism consists of these and other policies no less in conflict with the welfare of the American nation. Mr. Cox has made himself the exponent of Wilsonism and on that issue he will stand or fall in November. : The latest independent newspaper to join with the Republicans is the Frannie Independent. Fran- nie is a growing community in Big Horn County. The Independent, is welcomed to the fireside. ANOTHER DUD. Dudley Field Malone, at one time Mr. Wilson's collector of the port of New York and a hard-shell Democrat, has accepted the nomination of the Farmer-Labor party for governor of New York. Yes, that’s what he'll be. Indications show Harding a winner in the presi- | dential contest in Ohio by 125,000’ majority. The polls were’ taken by the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Columbus Dispatch. Mr. Cox is a dreadfully negligent correspond- ent. He has never yet had time to reply to Rich- mond Hobson’s anxious inquity of last June, rela- tive to his (Cox's) degree of moisture.
