That was no truer when the great American philosopher and poet said it than it Is today. The world has always found a place for the workers with hand and brain, and It haa always recognised the man w'ith a message. It may have been tardy at times in doing so, but when It failed to give recognition during the life of the benefactor, the sculptor's art tells the story in marble and bronie, soulful singers pen praises and, metaphorically speaking, human ity extends the "glad hand." It has become trite to say that It Is the. man behind the gun who wins the battles. That Is true In a clash at arms, but In the Cltlsen's Great Prize Contest it. Is the candidate behind the nomina tion who does things' which count Industry Wins. One may have the very best Inten tion, and be real popular but to these qualities must be added Industry to win; and It Is Industry the world wants and the world needs and hon ors. The vote as published Wednesday chows that workers are making vote counts move along In high figures and appear tp be able to convince almost every one they meet that they have something the world wants. Some people have to be convinced that they need a thing, and when once con vinced are ready to take It and pay the price, - , Alive to Effort, .

LONDON. Aug. 16. Meetings with a view to settling the controversy be tween the railway companies and their employes were held tods? and tonight at the board of trade; but when they adjourned late tonight 'the situation remained as far from being solved as when they began. The rajl way managers declared they had been promised protection In running their trains and would not yield to their men; the representatives of the rail' way men's -unions declared the strike would take place at the expiration of their ultimatum tomorrow morning.

Slnjllaa precautions also have been taken at all other mil itary stations In England, Scotland and Wales so that In case of , need every available soldier will be on duty to Insure the continuance of railway traffic. Though the government today mi.de an energetic attempt to avert the ca lamity of a general railway strike, present Indications are that one will materialize at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning when the ultimatum of the1 employes expires.
