Hughes’ caliber would not have lost

thinking element of the population.
Happily that clement is small, but
small as it is, it has a right to know
the truth. An eight hour work day
has not been established by the
Adamson law, nor can it be. That law
merely fixes eight hours as a measure
of pay. If hours of labor on railroads
can be fixed by law, and if legislation
io that end can constitutionally be
passed, after fair and honest and care­
ful consideration to conserve the
rights of all parties concerned, the
public will not complain. It is not
against the principle of the eight hour
day, nor against its application, where
it can be justly and rightfully applied,
hat the public protests. It is against
the debasement of government, the
surrender of our essential sovereign­
ty, that the people cry out, and the
legerdemain of the demagogue can­
not conceal or reduce the enormity of
that offense. Labor dispises hypocricy
more earnestly, perhaps, than any
other class, and it is not to be deceiv­
ed by the spurious claims of Demo­
cratic orators or editors, seeking to
influence the votes.
The Democratic National Commit­
tee is out with a big speil about tar­
rying Oregon this tail. It they expect
to re-elect President Wilson with the
aid of states like Oregon, it is a
shame to take- the money. That Ore­
gon will give Hughes a record break­
ing majority is the one good bet.—
