WILSON ENDORSED " BY RAILROAD HEADS Underwood of Erie and Lovett of U. P. Strong For President. PROSPERITY IS -DUE TO HIM. Served All the Teople In Demanding Eight-Hour Law —Firm In Stand For American Trade Rights, and the Friend of Both Business and Labor. "President Wilson has achieved the seemingly impossible," declared F. D. Underwood, president of the Erie Rail road, in a recent interview In Chicago. "My conviction is that Wilson has more great achievements to his credit than most presidents who have pre Photo by Underwood & Underwood. Robert Scott Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific Board of Directors. Is unfriendly to tho interests of busi ness, even though he works for the betterment of the conditions of labor. Mr. Underwood continues: "No one could fairly accuse Presi dent Wilson of playing politics in the railroad negotiations for an eight-hour day. I believe he used his bost judg ment in doing as he did. He did not carry the burden of the railroads or the ceded him," is the opinion of Judge Robert S. Lovett, head of the Union Pacif ic Railway, ex pressed in « statement issued in New York. Such views from men who stand at the top of two of the na tion's greatest transportation systems should be sufficient to controvert the false charges of Republican dem agogues that President Wilson claims of the brotherhoods ss hie lo*c!. he carried those ci the pe.op'e of ti.e United States. Has Stabilized Bi oirsss. "There can • / i. > hor.c t <!eni"! tVi? many of the laws have stabil ized business. The Federal Reserve Act is one. The Rural Credit Act is another. The passage of the Child Labor Law was humane and intelli gent. The Tariff Commission was a common-sense, much-needed accom plishment." And then Mr. Underwood pfaises Mr. Wilson's course in keeping the nation from embroilment in the European tur moil, and from the waste of American lives for "so small a game" as Mexico. "Change his mind?" Mr. Underwood laughed. "The man who says he never © by Unaerwood & Underwood. F. D. Underwood, President of the Erie Railroad.' changes his mind either is inaccu rate in his state ment or he has no mind to change. President Wilson has a mind to change, as chang ing c on d i t ions make it neces sary to change. After all. pros per i t y is here, and we should stand for peace and work for peace but we must prepare our selves to defend what we have." No less con vine -. ing is the statement by Judge Lovett. "President Wilson," he says, "has substituted the law as a rule of con duct for Presidential favor. The 'un desirable citizen' has the same show as the most influential group or the biggest campaign contributor. Justice For All, "In the administration of his imme diate predecessors, business men were hunted as 'big game,' and the Presi dential choice between the 'good trusts' and the 'bad trusts' was tho guide, rather than the law. Even the rail roads—the favorite field for political ex ploitation—have received justice and fairness at his hands. "And let us not forget that we owe Mr. Wilson for the present junexampled industrial prosperity of the country. Nothing but his firm stand for Ameri can rights secured us the enormous trade, extending through every line of industry, that has brought employ ment and "high wages to millions of workmen, and huge profits to our man ufacturers. "Now, are the American people going to permit an American President to be driven from office by an alien element in our population, for daring to insist upon American rights against a foreign government?'' PEACE OR WAR THE ISSUE. Speaking at Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 30 last, Theodore Roosevelt said: "I have been asked what I would have done had I been President when the Lusitania was torpedoed. "I would have instantly taken posses sion of every German ship interned in this country and then I would have said: 'Now we wiil discuss, not what we will give, but what we will give back!'" THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT WAR! It would have been a challenge to the German nation to a trial at arms. It would have been a violation of ev ery principle of neutrality, and at ft time, with all Europe under arms, when this country was the trustee of and the only nation capable of uphold ing neutral rights. The seizure itself would have been an act of war, just as the seizure of German interned ships by Portugal was regarded as an act of war and was followed by an immediate declara tion of war by Germany against Por tugal. Following the same line of war talk, speaking at Lewleton, Maine, Aug. 81 last, Mr. Roosevelt said: "Hie policies of Americanism and preparedness, taken together, mean applied patriotism. There should be correlation of policy and armament * * * America, which sprang to the succor of Cuba !n 1898. has stood an Idle spectator of the Invasion of Bel gium, the sinking of the Lusitania, the continued slaughter of our own citi aens, and of the reign of anarchy, rnpine and murder in Mexico." These are the deliberate declarations of the man with whom Candidate Hughes has said, "I AM IN COM PLETE ACCORD," and Hughes has publicly congratulated Roosevelt for what he said. From their public statements the conclusion is inevitable that if either Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presi dent when the Anny of the Kaiser in vaded Belgium we would have had war with Germany; that when the Lu. sitania was sunk that we would have had war with Germany, and that now we would have instant war with Ger many over the submarine raids in the Atlantic Ocean ofT the Massachusetts Coast. Must we not agree with President Wilson when speaking at Shadow Lawn on Sept. 30, last, he said: "Am I not right that we must draw the conclusion that if the Republican party is put into power at the next election, our foreign policy will be rad ically changed? "I cannot draw any other inference. All our present foreign policy LB wrong, they say, and If It is wrong and they are men of conscience they must change it "And If they are going to change it, in what direction are they going to change? THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE AS AGAINST PEACE, AND THAT IS WAR." No other conclusion can be drawn. What is YOUR conclusion, thought ful citizen? In the last analysis, the election will be decided by the farmer vote. And so on the farmer is the responsibility of whether this country shall have peace or war. The only assurance that the country will not be needlessly plunged into'war is for YOU to vote for Woodrow Wil son. FOR PEACE OR WAR YOUR CON SCIENCE AND YOUR VOTE MUST DECIDE.

FALLACY is an appar ently genuine but really illogical I IN a previous article a series of FACTS were given showing the great antiquity of the "loon, or ' !! i inn, as it was known in the early days. Merely as a matter of historical interest here are some '|j FACTS showing the growth of the inn, tavern or saloon. LIFE was very simple when the race was young. People traveled little. They lived and died within a few miles of where they > j j. ~ were born. There were no saloons or taverns then because there • v JB3L 1 was no demand for them. As time ran on the people multiplied, spread out anjl discovered new territory. Travelers became more ,v|p? . frequent. At this stage hospitality was a sacred duty. As an ex- - 1A ample of the spirit of the age Abraham, in Genesis 14:18 says that in his travels he was entertained by Melchizedik, king of Salem, tjfr W^fpfy who "brought forth bread and wine." J, 4 MEN soon began to make a business of selling to travelers. The Ty™( jrJp ■ JflfrAfe next step was to establish taverns where wine and food as well «- as lodging were on tap. These inns were common in Biblical > ' §§ times. Paul met the brethren from Rome at the Three Taverns, a pi fflkrfTii i J cross roads where three hotels were needed to handle the traffic, fct .jm. .

Hospitality was still regarded as a duty, however, Vrtfflw % "wW SlfcA} and provision for travelers was made at the monasteries. The Wi poor were glad to stay there, but the great middle class demanded ' j \W W H| bed and board equal in quantity and quality to their purses. Thia \vt * demand was met by the development of the ale-house or inn. In ' these taverns provisions, beer, ale and wine were served in a larf« room, which corresponds to the bar in modern ho els and in f. | During the 15th century local people began to recognize the value yjjgj wJ| | of a tavern or saloon and the patronage was no longer culled only . gfij ( from the travellers. ffl*. : Hfl, THE taverns and post-houses, as they were also called, became places of much importance.

The 1 effect of railways was to multiply the hotels in great centers. These were increased in size until . ! they could accommodate thousands of guests. The present-day bar or saloon was the result of this congestion. The inns could not take care of the trade, local and transient Saloons sprang i ' upand gradually began to handle the bulk of the business in beer and wine, spirits and cordials. , I ' With the advent of the automobUe the inns came back into their own and now in the picturesque.
