PACtK 4. ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH, ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH BY TELEGRAPH PRINTING CO. En lured as second clans manor at the post office at Alton, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27. Unions Mot Delivered In a Body to Wilson.

What Wilson did for thr railroad brotherhoods Is beginning to make the brotherhood men kick back. They see that havp not obtained what they were after nnd what the President was trying to plve them, and they are slipping from the Wilson wagon fast. Other union labor men who have been urgod to support Wilson because of what he did for the brotherhoods, should consider that perhaps the President Isn't PO deserving of their vote. Micro Isn't going to he anywhere a unanimous support of Wilson by railroad men, nny more than there Is going to be general delivery rf'ofher union labor vote bV tho labor leaders to Wilson. The union labor men, It In becoming apparent, have minds cf their own nnd do not allow their leaders to dictate their voting Probably More Truth Than Fiction, Th" Illinois Labor I'rcsn, which made journalistic bow to the read Ing public I aft week, In what was sup posed to be a boost for James Handy, tho present Democratic slate's attor ney of Madison County, who Is seeking re-election, has the following to say: "Judge Handy has not been a hard taskmaster.

has prosecuted whore he saw, by the light of Justice that prosecution was due, and In many other instances he has nolle pressed cases wherein there was a reasonable doubt that the accused was Innocent." Do you got that, "HR HAS NOLLE PROSSED CASKS WHEREIN THERE WAS A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE ACCUSED WAS INNOCENT?" It would seem that if a reasonable doubt of a prisoner's Innocence existed the proper thing to do would be to let a jury decide whether or not the man was guilty of the crime charged against City Press-Record. If Bandy nolle pressed for tho reason he gives, why did he write the Indictment In the first place against such a person? He busies himself, or has hia deputies busy themselves In nnd out of grand jury rooms, and could easily have stopped the mortification and expense Indicted men must have felt at being thus by the state's attorney and the grand jury. Old not the reasonable doubt exist when the one sided story was being told 1 the grand jury, or did It become alive and active only afterwards, when no evidence was being given agnlnnt accused In courts? There Isn't a "reasonable doubt" however about the fitness of Judge Streubcr for Tandy's Job. Any such a thing as that would be clearly silly in fact. Great Newspaper Favors The Chicago Dally News, the paper with the biggest circulation of any west of New York, has come out strong for Hughes for President.

It supported Wilson four years ago. Up to this time It has preserved the middle policy. Now it gives Its reasons for making tho change over to Hughes. In part tho News declares that certain characteristics of President Wilson appear subservlse of popular government and even the foundations of public order and safe- ey. Therefore the News believes tho Interests of the Republic demand tho "retirement of President Wilson from office.

After disposing of "he kept us out of war" argument, In which the News shows that nobody wanted us to got Into the war, Including the Ku TOpoan powers themselves, tho News proceeds to show that the United States Iws had two little wars with Mexico duo to lack of firmness of pol Icy arid meddling. It Is In his weak yielding to the demands of tho loaders of the railroad brotherhoods that the NOWH finds thii crowning folly of Pro sldent Wilson, and which It brads a destructive form of statesmanship which deals with a crisis by postponing I he day of settlement and at. tho same time by weakening established safeguards, augmenting the elements of dangers contained therein: "Confronted by the fact that load ers of certain railroad employes had refused to arbitrate the question of higher wages and had rejected the proffered help of tho federal board of mediation and conciliation, President Wilson (ihotip to assume that tho ques tlon Involved was that of tho establishment of the eight hour day, though the eight hour day In reality had nothing to do with It. Ho chose to assume also, without making uny effort to pro vent that threatened outcome, that a natlon-wldc) strike tying up railroad transportation from coast to roast would result speedily unless ho so cured by law within low hours a settlement to the liking of the men who hod engineered strike order. In stead of saying to those men, 'This nation will not bo coorced Into PIVB.I ini; law Incroanltw your wages with out he hastened to re ward thorn for first refusing nrbltra tlon and than netting thulr scanty time limit of hours In which congrnsn might establish by law tholr mini mum demand of a 2fl per cent In crtmse In wages, notoriously mie branded by the president the eight hour day.

A stampeded congress carried out his orders In jis time. "Hero WES a shameless, a destructive surrender to a threat of force made with a deliberate purpose by on organized On the. part of the president It was at once a display of timidity and craft.

It established a precedent both dangerous and humiliating. Throughout the amazing transaction the larger Interests of the great unorganized American public counted for nothing. The facts, known and unknown, were ignored. The president employed an easy method of projecting a present difficulty Into the 'uture, nnd of gaining profitable 'riendshlps for himself while sowing a crop of dragon's teeth for his country, whose Interests he was set to guard. This appalling display--of unscrupulousness Illuminates like a searchlight the character nnd tho thought processes of the chief magistrate of the nation.

The -American should take warning from the mlnful exposure.
