The state treasurer of Massa-;
chusetts is a member of an adver-j
Using agency. When he took oflice
he wrote to a number cf banks ad-:
vising them of his connection with j
the advertising concern, his reason,1
of course, being to put them on
guard that uiljess they had seme ;
money to spend with him as an ad-1
verti-sing agent, they would not get j
any of the state's money on deposit.'
It is piesumed that many of the
banks came across. Now Burrell is
in a pretty tough position. He had
a large sum of money in a bank
that Chailies Ponzi wrecked, and ev
erywhere there are calls that he get
out or be turned out. The treasurer
being a Republican, the Democrats
probabaly are going after him vig

making it warm for him. Blackmail

RAILWAY CAR
SHORTAGE
By the Associated Press.
Chicago, Aug. 24. The first sur
vey of freight cars ever taken by
the farmer of a state has iust been
completed througTi the Illinois ag
ricultural association. Secretary D.
C. Thompson announced today. On
the basis of this census he said Illi
nois farmers did not believe there
was a car shortage. The trouble
with transportation he characterized
as "immobility" and he declared the
farmers means to find out whose
fruit it was.
Secretary Thompson said the &s
vociation undertook its census after
receiving report from farmers over
the state that thev saw many cars
star.ding idle cn country tracks.
".Members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and
numbers of all cars at 494 stations
located in 40 different counties for
seven consecutive dav'." the state
farm bureau executive said "Of
these 494 stations. 146 or 29.5 per
cent reported some the same cars on!
tracks the last clay of the count as
were on the tracks the first day of j
tne counc
"At all stations, 9.294 cars were
listed the first day and of those cars.
1H8 out of 9,294 cars had not been
moved from the country point for
seven consecutive . days. This is just
a little over 10 per cent of the cars
at such points.

Tennessee is getting as much no
toriety in this suffrage business as
id possible to be thrust upon any
state. But in time it will fade into
history like the Missouri compro
mise, the Boston tea party, the Lou
iianu purchase and some other , no
table events. Suffrage is a fact.
the taxes corporations will be forced
to pay the state government. If
North Carolina can have good schools
and build some roads and keep up
the institutions of high learning
tnd for the unfortunate, . we shall
not mourn over the bit that corpo
rations will donate.
MUST RETAIN LEADERSHIP
We have heard a great deal of
loose talk about presidential usur
pation of the powers of congress, but
if there had been any real usurpation,
the president, especially if he were
of the opposite political faith from
the majority, would be haled before
the impeachment court and probably
bounced. The Record has contended
that a political party can get no
where with a weak president. He will
be run over by the senate, and the
American people, regretting their
choice, will turn on him and the men
who control him. Any criticism of
President Wilson has for its back
ground the Versailles treaty, but read
this paragraph from the Springfield
Republican:
There waa a president who 'nego
tiated a convention known in his
tory as the Pekin protocol, which ef
fected rwi international settlement
with China after the Boxer uprising,
ar-d the march of the allied troops,
including American sdldiers, to Pe
kin In 1900. It was signed bv the
Krent powers of Europe, China, Japan
j.nd the United States. It was an in
ternational compact if ever there was
one. But a Republican president. Mr
MuKinlev, did not submit it to the
senate, it was never ratified bv the
s'.nate and the Republican senate of
that day did not so much as protest
Against being ignored bv the execu
tive in such a high-handed stvle. Mr.
Wilson has done nothing like what
Mr. McKinlev did with the annroval
of such senatorial leaders as the late
Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Hanna, Mr. Allison
Mr. Hale, Mr. Piatt of Connecticut
Mr. Spooner und Mr. Lodge.
This country became a world power
before Woodrow Wilson was even
considered as a presidential possi
bility. William McKinley of beloved
memory did more to make the United
States a participant in world affairs
than all the Democrats combined
We don't know that the Peking prot
ocol was wrong; certainly it seemed
right to President McKinley and his
advisors.
If President McKinley, like Theo
dore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson
Iiad not possessed some backbone
the eenate would have broken him
in two. A president who does not
stand up for his rights gets run over
by the senate and repudiated by the
people.
sociation enumerators were eiected
from the yards by railroad officials
"Mine operators say thev were
forced to idleness many days each
week leading to the strike of the
miners which recently tied up the
mines iust when the farmers were
needing coal for threshing. At 'this j
same time before the strike in
Christian county, at Clarksdale and
at Willevs. two trains of coal cars
totaling 53 cars were reported empty
at both first and last days of the
count.
"If we may take tVe total num
ber of freight cars of the country
on December 31, 1918. as a basis fcr
computation and consider that the
nercentage of immobility of cars is
as great in Chicago. Toleda and New
York a in country points like Clarks
dale. Fidelity and Low Point, it is
very moderate when we say that the
total number of cars which the rail
roads sav they need to meet the '
transportation requirements of the j
present ' movement is not a i
m.tch io the total of immo
bile cars now idling bv the weeks
and months io terminal yards and
on side tracks at country points.
"This survey shows pretty clear
ly to the farmers of Illinois the
ccuse of 'car shortage' is largely
camouflage, given to cover up seme
real, deeper reason for the prcsenl
transportation inefficiency. And to
search for that reason will be the
next iob of the farmers' business
organization."

The position of the Russian forces,
was precarious in the extreme and
could be justified tactically only on
the assumption that the Polish army
was too badly demoralized for en
effective blow.
For some weeks the campaign had
been a race rather than a battle, and
while the Poles lost great quartitie
of arms, munitions, and stores in a
retreat of over 200 miles, the Rus
sians could only follow with their
most mobile forces, and the latter
pat of their advance had the charac
ter of widely diffused raids rather
than of a solid battle line. Ever;
on the Moscow front, where there
seems to have been a considerable
concentration, the scarcity of artil-ler-y.
is mentioned in the dispatches,
and could be inferred from the na
ture of the campaign; deficiency of
transport has been the greatest dif
ficulty against which the Russian
commanders have had to contend.
The successful denfense of Warsaw
will be hailed with satisfaction even
by thsoe who have been" unable to
approve of Marshal Pilsudski's mil
itary venture. It may be hoped that
this good fortune just as the armis
tice negotiation were beginning may
help the Poles to get satisfactory
terms without tempting them into
the hazard of a needless continua
tion of an unequal war. They are
a gallant and warlike race, but iust
now not Poland only but all Europe
greatly needs peace.
