2 THE TOPEKA DAILY CAPITAL Sunday, October 15, 191B. EVERYBODY NEEDS AGGIES ARE HURLED BACK FOOTBALL GODS SMILE HITTING K. U. LINE HARD, ALLIES MAINTAIN RIGHT TO SEARCH deed In the present. In these words I Mr.

Wilson exactly describes what he ought to have done with the brother-i hoods, and explicitly condemns the ac- some one pointed out at the tlms, Canada had a war with no tax; whereas we had a tax with no war. It was purely deficiency tax. What Democrats Did. Principles he laid down were good for the futur? they were gooA for the present. Do it now.

Mr. Wilson! Do not use fine. words about what some- bodv else ought to do in the future in order to cover vour own shameful abandonment of duty in the present. Mr. Wilson has adroitly maintained 'that the question at issue was the eight-hour day.

This is not all fact, The question at Issue was the question of wages. The law does not say that there shall be an eieht-hour day. It says that eight hours shall "be made the measure of a day's work for the purpose of receiving compensation." In other words it was primarily an in- crease of wages and not a diminution i of hours that was aimed at. I believe in the eiirht-hour day. It the ideal toward which we shoul.1 tend.

iiut I believe that there must; be common sense as weir as common honesty in achieving the ideal. Mr. Wilson has laid down the principle that there is something sacred about the eight-hour day which makes it improper even to discuss it. If this is so, if It Is applied universally, then Mr. Wilson is not to be excused for not applying it immediately where he has i i i i i i complete power, and that is in his During the first eighteen months of this administration the national business went to pieces, the sidings on the railroads were jammed with empty cars, and the number of unemployed in every great industry grew to appalling dimensions.

I speak here of what I personally know; for less than two years ago I had to take an actlv part in New ork in measures lo re lieve the unemployed. I then saw mu- niclpal lodging houses crowded to (overflowing with people desirous of working, who could not get any work, and who did not have enough money to pay for the poorest lodging or the- cheapest meals. The unemployed were numbered not by the thousands, but the scores of thousands; and 1 was in active correspondence with men and women In other cities. Chicago. IV- troit and Philadelphia, where the con-I ditions were just as bad as in New York.

Every kind of provision had to be made, by private charities and by the public authorities, in order to car for the multitude of people who wished to work but who were in dire want because there was no work. The misery was widespread. For instance, the- of health of New York had to pass a special resolution allowing the eating of horse meat (I think the exact phraseology gave permission to fatten old horses for slaughter and food), be cause every eitort nad to he made to give to those out of work the cheapest food that would sustain life. Remember that those times were normal. There was then no war.

We were at peace. We were simply experiencing the normal results of legislative action under Mr. Wilson, and the Democratic administration. The sufferinsr was widespread thruout this country. Suddenly the war came.

At one stroke this country was granted a measure of protection greater than any it had ever received under any tariff in Its history. Moreover, the demand for munitions of war was stimulated to such an enormous decree as to completely reverse trada conditions. For example, comparing the fiscal years ending June 30. 1S14, and June 3n. 191P, that is, the yea before the war and the year that hus just elapsed, the losses in ordinary exports during the last year, compared to the former, were over $200,000.000 whereas thpr u-Afi a ff-nin In Arnnrtfl nar mi- terial of nearly 2.000.

OOO.OOO. If It were not for these artificial conditions, the suffering from unemployment in this country at this time would In all probability be as great as It was In 1914, and we would have seen two or three years of an industrial crisis at least as bad as any we have ever known in our history. The present stimulus is artificial. It will ceis with the war conditions oominn to an end. It will then he difficult to avoivi some suirerinK' anyhow, ir Mr.

Ottawa, Oct. 13. The Topeka high school team today proved itself unable to compete with the heavy team which represents the Ottawa high school this year and went down to defeat by the score of 45 to 0. The entire contest was a one-sided exhibition of football. The locals' line outweighed the visitors at least ten pounds to the man and the Topeka team gave way to the onslaughts of the locals.

Coach Cowan's men relied almost entirely on straight football, tearing off long end runs and constant gains thru the visitors' line. Only one counter was made by open playing. The Ottawa team started the scoring as soon as the ball was secured on end runs and line bucks. The score at JSSEii0' two touchdowns came In the third and fourth quarters. Topeka twice worked the oali to Ottawa fifteen-yard line but lost it on downs.

The University of Missouri football team won the state championship today by defeating Washington university of St. Louis, 13 to 0. The state players depended on straight football with an occasional forward pass for their gains. Their kVking was weak. Missouri used seventeen men in the game, substituting an entire new back field, with the exception of the pivot man in the fourth period.

Captain Jusick played the star game for Washington. The state university has never suffered a defeat from Washington on their own field. INDIANA OUT OF CONFERENCE RACE By Decisive Defeat at Hands Chicago, Hoosier Eleven Loses Chance for Championship. Chicago, 111., Oct. 14.

Agg-ies resisted the heavier Cornhuskers distance. Twice the Huskers were one yard from the line with four downs in which to make it. Both times the Crimson horde was thrown back. The Cornhuskers scored their two touchdowns in the first half. Ted Kiduell.

Nebraska's coming star, picked up a fumble by Wells near the first of the game and ran seventy yards for a touchdown, distancing pursuit with ease. In the second quarter the Huskers bucked their way straight down the field to send Caley thru for a touchdown. Corey kicked both goals. The Aggie offense did not measure up to predictions. A few passes got away nicely, but the aerial game was not tried very often.

End runs and line bucks were thrown back with ease by the Huskers. If the offense was nothing wonderful, the defense was great. It would sweep back for a time while the Cornhuskers rushed to what looked like a certain touchdown only to stiffen In the danger zone and punt out of danger. Randels played a great game on defense but was too closely watched to become dangerous on offense. Barnes and Dodrill were two other men who stood out as stars.

DEFOE NEBRASKA CHARGE AMES WINS Jayhawkers Outplayed at Every Turn by Iowa. Aldrich in Third Period Grabs Forward Pass and Races Thru Broken Field for Forty-Five Yards. Spiral to The Cacilau Ames, Oct. 14. Fourteen Ames first downs to two by Kansas, 269 yards gained to fifty-nine by K.

tells in figures the story of K. U's 13 to 0 defeat today by Ames. Altho defeated by only two touchdowns, seldom has a Kansas football team been as badly outclassed as the Jay-; hawkers were this afternoon In their first 1916 conference game. Not until the final quarter, with the Iowa Aggies playing five substitutes, were Olcott's men able to negotiate even their twff first downs. It was the failure of the Jayhawker attack rather than poor defensive work that caused today's disaster.

With the exception of Captain Lindsey and Fos-i ter, there was practically no indica-'tion of any knowledge of signals and time after time the Aggies would have a play smashed before it was even under way. Sensational end runs, double passes and trick plays made up the assortment Coach Mayer's pupils used in making their two touchdowns. In the first quarter Paige followed up the fierce attack with which Ames opened the game, and swung around left end for the necessary six yards for a touchdown. Jones kicked the easy goal and the Aggies settled down with their seven-point lead. In the third period, with the Jayhawker defense still holding like a rock, Sloss engineered a double pass to Aldridge on K.

The score of 14 to 0 in favor of Ottawa university does not tell the story of the game with Midland here today. Not inferior playing, but ignorance of one rule lost the game for the Lutherans. When Ot-j tawa failed in an attempt to kick a field goal from the 20-yard line, the players did not pounce upon the pigskin after it had passed over the goal line and an Ottawa player. Reeves, scored a touchdown by laying down on the ball. The Midland team did not know that such a play could score.

The con-j tenticn of the United States, the note argues, that money order lists should be classed as genuine mail and not as merchandise does not take into con-i sideration such lists sent from the United States to Germany and Austria by mail correspond to money deposited in this country, and serve as a notifi cation to postal authorities of the Teu-I tonic powers to pay out the amounts indicated, increasing the financial resistance of, the allies' enemies. In view of this, money order lists are refused passage. In connection with the reminder that the United States already has agreed i that examination of private postal cor- respondence to ascertain whether it contains contraband is permissible, the note says: It is evident that this examination, i which necessarily entails the opening of the covers in order to ascertain their i contents, could not be carried out on board ships without involving a great deal of confusion, without causing serious delay to the mails, passengers and cargo, and without great risk of error.rloss or non-delivery. It was for these reasons that the allies have Ini- tiaed the removal of the mail bags and their dispatch to points provided with the staff and material requisite for prompt and regular handling. In all this the allied governments have no other, purpose but that of diminishing by all means In their power the inconvenience that the legitimate exercise of their belligerents rights in regard to enemy mail might cause to inoffensive neutral correspondence and to neutral vessels."

The main pre-occupation of the Ger- mans at present is the British armies, They alrea-dy know the French army, They had hoped to exhaust its strength.

14. In spite of the Carranza decree prohibiting bull fights, Juarez is preparing for a bull fight tomorrow for the benefit of the poor of the city of Zacatecas. WORDS HE UTTERS IN EXPLANATION CONVICT WILSON (Continued from Page 1, Column 1.) the present to make certain of its ob- servance in the future. On the con the trary, this is vindicating a impossible to vindicating a ignoni iniously case at issue the very worst way of principle. Indeed, it is devise a worse way of principle, than to flinch from enforcing it in the and at the same time to seek to cover the ignominy by vociferous protestation about applying it In the nebulous future.

Th same paper, the New York Times, from which I quote the above sentences, contained statements from the leaders of the brotherhoods whom he was befriending, in which they said that they would never consent to the legislation providing for future arbitration for which President Wilson aked: and President Wilson kept a weak and nervous silence about this defiance. He did not get the legislation which he declared was essential to "vindicate the in the future. All that he accomplished was the violation of the principle in the present, in the concrete case at iue The only law he secured established the precedent of violation of the principle. All that he did was to establish the most evil all precedents for a democracy, the precedent of violating a principle under the duress of threat and menace. It is a precedent which will return to plaue us thruout all future time whenever we have In the White Houe a president wno is timin tn tne race threat of physical violence, or who subordinates duty to tne nope or personal oolitical profit.

Over Timidity. President Wilson further said, while trying to gloss-over his timidity in the present by assuming an attitude cf frowning defiance as regards the nebulous future, that the American people must be made "a partner in the settlement of disputes that interrupt the hfe of the nation." that it must "enforce the partnership and see to it that no organization is stronger than that organization to which we all belong, our own government" and that we the people must say to any outside organization that it "mu: not interrupt the national life without consulting us." These are fine words about the future. They are intended to cover up. but as a matter of fact, they furnDh the strongest condemnation of Mr. Wilson's 1 i I I 1 liuuaciiuiu.

ll lilt; nii-ipic i iir eight-hour day is sacred and not to be changed under any circumstances, then the housemaid, who In Mr. Wilson's house, arises at 7 must be left off at three In the afternoon: and If Mr. Wilson's butler Is kept up after a state dinner until 10. he must not come on until 2 of the following after- noon, and no hired man on a rami must get up to milk the cows in the morn-' ing unless he quits work before milk-i ing time arrives that same evening. Of course, the simple truth is that under one set of conditions an eight-j hour law may be too long or at least may represent the very maximum ot proper work; whereas there may be other conditions under which a man working more than eight hours one day gets on or two days of complete leisure following, or where the work is intermittent thruout the day, or is of so easy or varied a type that no exhaustion accompanies it.

or where a rush of work for a few days will be compensated by complete leisure on certain other days. It is ridiculous to say that an engineer of a high-speed train, under especially difficult conJi tions, an engineer of a low-speed train under very much easier conditions, a farm laborer in harvest time, a man engaged as a watchman thru the quiet work of the night, or a man engaged In the exhausting work of a steel pud-dler in a continuous seven-day-a-week, night-and-day industry, should be governed by precisely the same rule, oroy the same rigid application in de-talTvof a sound general principle. Would Have Xo Inquiry. I heartily believe in a proper limlta- tion by law of hours of work in the railroad service, and I recommended legislation to that effect when I was president. I believe in the wages in any industry being just as high as it Is possible to make them without injustice to the capital invested and to the public which is served.

But it is a mere truism to say that it is impossible to get this Ideal achieved unless an nonest and dispassionate effort is first made by the proper commission to ascertain the full facts in the particular case: As regards the railroads, we have to consider the wages paid to tho different classes of employes, the interest on the investment, the earning power of the road, and the kind of service that must be rendered to the public. It is impossible to secure a proper of the problem unless all these factors are considered. Mr. Wilson absolutely declined to consider any ot 1 jthem. He declined even to ask what i they were.

We have not at this mo- formation which will enable us to de cide whether the demands of the men were just or not. I wish It distinctly understood that I am not trying to pass Judgment upon the Justice of the case. regard the engineers, firemen and enginetnen and trainmen generally as doing: peculiarly responsible and (arduous work, and entitled to particular consideration as regards both hours of labor and pay. I fully entitled as a i what they will I Adamson bill and hope that they are matter of justice to receive under the if it so appe.s 1 shall heartily support it. But I protest against the far-reachin? evil of the precedent set In the method which has been followed.

We are denied knowl edge. We see congress forced to act under threats. I protest against any law passed under such duress. I protest against the case being decided without giving the public its day In court. I hope the demands of the men were Just, and would have been proved so to be.

If investigated before a competent body. But 1 explicitly protest against any action by the government when no Investigation has been held to see whether the claims are or are not Just, and when they are granted thru fear and not as a matter of riht. Public Paja In End. Remember it Is the nubile that In is the end will pay. You do not have to take my assertion for this.

Take the assertion of Mr. Wilson's master in this matter. The union leaders, thru their chairman, Mr. Garretson. announced that "they would steadily refuse to arbitrate and that in their action they were supported by the president of the United States." They stated their case in a nutshell as follows: "In times like this, men go back to primal instinct to the day of the caveman with his half-Enawed bone.

snarling at the other caveman who wanted to take his bone away. We leaders are fighting for our men. The railroads are fighting for their Mock-' holders; and the shippers for them selves. And the public will pay." Mr. Garretson is right the public will pay.

And it will pay without having had the chance, to know whether It ought or ought not to pay. Mr. Wilson betrayed the public when he refused to Insist that the contest should Ire decided on principles of justfce. and when he permitted it to be decided in deference to greed and fear. Mr.

Wilson announced that it was "futile" to stand firmly against thene improper demands. It would not have been futile If a Democrat of the stamp of Andrew Jackson or Grover Cleveland had been president. Th futilitv inhered solelv in Mr. WilonNhimtclf. If President Wilson had stood by the honor and the interests of the United States In this matter; if he had Insisted upon a full investigation before action; if he had Insisted upon arbitration and had announced that if there was any attempt to tie up the traffic of the United States he would use the entire power of the l'niie-1 States to keep Ce arteries of traffic open, 1 woubj have applauded him and supported him.

But to lake such action needed courage. It needed disinterestedness. It wan iieressary that the man taking it should put duty to the nation firM and political and personal onidera-tions last. What President Wilson did was to permit the overriding of justice by appeals to brute fore. I ask you to look bark two short years.

Mr. Wilson was Inaugurated ax president three yearn ago last spring lie and his party immediately pa3ed a low tariff law. I'nder it government receipts fell off so that there wan a great deficit which had to be met by a special tax. This was later called a war ta; but It was not due to the war at ail; the decrease In receipts was prior to the war. it was a deficiency tax, pure and simple.
