and at East st. Louis The results of educa-

the Lake Shore switchmen, and in New York

employees at Green Point and the policemen
who were guarding sugar-house property.

Knights Of Labor need it they can have every
cent of it. Possibly he is bidding for the
patronage Of the Knights, and uses this to di-
rect attention to him. It is not at all likely
that he would be willing to give up his wealth
for the sake of the cause. But he goes
further, and says that they will never give up;
that they have been organized for seventeen
years and have hundreds of thousands in
their treasury" Now, if this last statement
be true it goes far towards explaining the in
confluence Of the Knights. An organization
that has hundreds Of thousands in its treasury
is not going to stand any great amount of
abuse. Another striker present with Kelly
said: 1--WE have all got money, and can stand
loafng as long as they can" With this he
pulled out and displayed comfortabIe-look-
ing roll of bills. Taking the rather uncertain
testimony of these two men, it would seem
that the New York street-car drivers lot was
not sad one. They appear to be pretty COM
fortahy fixed, so far as money is concerned,
and it may be that it would not be bad idea
for them to keep up the strike, and to allow
other men not so well provided to get chance
to take the places voluntarily abandoned by

CENTRAL Dakota is complacent over the
weather record made during the past winter.
There We're but thirty three days when the
mercury stood at or below Zero The sta
tistician unguardedly admits that there were
no less than ninety-one such days in the win
ter of 1928. Some will infer from this
that such thing may recur which would be
anything but pleasant to contemplate by such
as might have a thought of emigrating to that
region. Three months of below-zero weather
is not the kind to popularize any section of
the country. After all, the old-fashioned,
honest State Of Indiana is one of the best on
this terrestrial globe.

In the editorial column they tell the working
man that he is the salt of the earth, and in the
advertising columns they take his last cent for
advertising the strike and the boycott that throw
him out of employment for weeks and months
together. Each one of these papers is the ''ofi-

leagues. Every member of such union OF
league finds it for his interest" to buy the pa

ness is good, when wages are high, the working
man has less interest in these publications.
But when trade is dull, when prices fall, when
wages must fall with them, and the workingmaB

falls upon employer and employed alike-then

OF the $1,000 employees of the Missouri
Pacific it is said that not more than
1000 have struck. But they concentrated
their forces at the terminal points, so that
their power was made so effective that the
traffic of the line was, for time, practically
paralyzed. The rights of the remaining
1900 received no consideration. Traced
to its source, this tyranny has been monop-
olized by not more than half-a.dozen men
at the head of a labor organization that
they are manipulating with show of des-
potism that the Gar does not dare exercise.

IT is the opinion of correspondents, who
have been on accommodating expeditions, that
the war rumors from Greece have been highly
colored, and that Greece really does not mean
to attack Turkey. This information is very

it is that it could not have come before the
American public got so worked up over the

Few enterprises are of more Importance
to the industries of Wyoming than the
fair to be held next month under the
auspices OF the Wyoming Fair Associa-
ton. Its plan is comprehensive. includ-
ing all the territorial interests without un-
due prominence given to any. The am.
pie grounds secured for the purpose are
in the urse Of rapid improvement and
thorough preparation in every respect for
the necessary purposes OF such al EXIT
bition. Though the purchase of the land
was not competed until the 18th of July.
such has been the energy of the manage
ment that everything will be in readi-
ness for the opening Of the fair. Build
ings are in the course of erection and all
other preparations being made as rapidly
as possible. The site is excellent and
part Of the grounds are already in a high
state OF improvement. 1t is the purpose
of the association to hold its industrial
exhibitions every year, thus affording a
practical index to the growth and devel-
opment Of the country, and as such is de-
serving the cordial support Of all inter-
ested in its welfare. Arrangements have
been made for the care of all exhibits,
and the premiums offered are calculated
to promote competition. The enterprise
depends largely on the interest taken by
the practical and progressive element of
the population. and this is certainly in
t~elligent and influential enough both to
appreciate the undertaking and to secure
its success.
