LABOR AND CAPITAL.

POWER OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT.
The relations OF labor and capital and of labor
ing men to their employers are of the utmost
concern to every patriotic citizen. When these
are strained and distorted unjustifable claims
apt TO be insisted upon by both interests,
and in the controversy which results the welfare
OF all and the prosperity OF the country are
jeopardized. ANY Intervention Of the general
government within the limits of its constitu-
tional authority TO avert such cond tion should
lie willingly accorded. In special message
transmitted To congress at its last session,
suggested the enlargement of our present labor
bureau, and adding to It's present functions the
power of arbitration in cases where differences
arise between employees and employers. When
these differences reach such stage as to result
in the interruption of commerce between the
states the application of this remedy by the gen
eral government might be regarded as entirely
within its constitutional powers, and l think
we might reasonably hope that such arbitration,
II carefully selected and If entitled to the conf
dence or the parties TO be affected would be
voluntarily called to the settlement OF the
controversy of less extent and not necessarily
within the domain of federal regulation. l
am of the opinion that this suggestion
is worthy the attention of the congress. But
after all has been done by the passage of laws.
federal or state, to relieve the situation. much
more remainS to be accomplished by the rein
statement and cultivation of true American SON
timent which recognizes the equality of Amer
ca citizenship. This, in the light of our trad1-
tions and in loyalty to the spirits of institu-
tions, would teach that % hearty cooperation on
the part of all interested Is the surest path to
national greatness and the happiness of all our
people, that capital should, in recognizing the
brotherhood OF our citizenship and in a spirit of
American fairness, generously accord to labor
its just compensation and consideration, and
that contented labor is capitals best protection
and faithful ally. 1t would teach too that the
diverse situations of our people are insaperable
from our civilization; that every citizen should
in his sphere, be contributor to the general
good: that capital does not necessarily tend to
The oppression of labor, and that violent dis
turbances and disorders ALLEVIATE from their pro-
moters true American sympathy and kindly
feeling.

First Horses and Mules.

The first horses ever brought into
any part of the land now known as
the United States were landed in Flor
ida by Cabeca de VEGA, in 1927, forty
two in number-all OF which perished.
Florida also received the second I'M
portation, brought by De Soto, in
1889. In 1909 the English landed at
Jamestown, in Virginia, having seven
horses with them. In 1929 Higginson
imported horses and other domestic
animals into the colony OF Massachu-
setts bay. Four years earlier the
Dutch company had imported them
to New York. Up to 1878 scarcely
American confederation. In 1888,
upon Gen. Washington's first retire
ment, he became convinced that the
work animals used III the agriculture
of southern states were not equal to
the demands made on them, SO he set
to work to remedy the defect. He in
troduced mules in the place of horses,
the mule, it was thought, being found
to live longer, require less food be
less liable to disease and prove more
economical for the aoriculturist. AS
soon as the views of this illustrious
farmer were made known, the king of
Spain sent him a present of q fine
Jack and two ]ennies, chosen from the
royal stud at Madrid. At the same
time Lafayette sent out jack and
jennets from the island of Malta.
This jack, called the knight OF Malta,
was a superb black animal, with the
form OF stag and the ferocity OF a
tiger. The Spanish animal. the Roy
al Gift, was sixteen hands high, gray,
heavily made and sluggish in disposi-
ton. Washington crossed the breeds
and obtained a favorite jack, called
Compound, which united the size and
strength of the Gift with the courage
and activity OF the Knight. One wag-
on-team of tour mules, the offspring
OF Compound and Gen. Washington's
coach mares, brought, at the sale of
Washington's effects, $500.

testtties to the value OF this reform Its
staunchest friends are found among those who

that the selection for such places should rest
upon a proper credential showing active partisan

One OF the most notable English Of
ficers who fell in Egypt was u young
Lieutenant de Lisle, for whom the
whole navy mourned, although he was
not a man of great individual power,
influence, or wealth. The secret OF
this remarkable popularity has a
special significance for boys.
"He was the most truthful and the
most friendly man in the SERVICE"
says another officer.
He was so direct and downright
that his word had the force of an oath, !"
says another.
When he was midshipman of six
teen, a storm occurred during his
watch, in which q mast was swept
away. The captain came on board
in fury.
"Why did you not send up man
to reef the sail?" he demanded of the
boy.
81 should have lost my own life if
had gone to reef it," was the reply, and
] will not send one Of the crew where |
dare not go myself. A mast is not
worth SO much as mans life"
The captain replied by a volley OF
oaths. The next day, however, he
came to the little mldshipman in the
presence OF the crew and said, "You
were right, and | was wrong. A mans
life is worth more than a mast"
Throughout his life he had as tender
care for the meanest of his men as If he
had been his brother.
He had indomitable courage in risk
ing his own lie, but he was a coward
for others.
"The man." says Goethe, "who
would have friends must show himself

German, "comes to serve the true

AGRICULTURE

The department of agriculture, representing
the oldest and largest of our national industries,

of agricultural wealth and the dlsSemlnance of

ported from abroad Such innovation will
be within the domain of intelligent
experiments and the subject in every stage
should receive all possible announcement from
the government. The interests Of millions of
our citizens engaged in agriculture are involved
in an enlargement and improvement of the re-
suits OF their labor: and Jealous regard for
their welfare should be willing tribute to those
whose productive returns are a main source OF
our progress and power. The existence of pleuro
pneumonia among the cattle OF various states
has led to burdensome and IN some cases disas-
trous restrictions in an important branch of our
commerce. threatening to affect the quantity
and quality of our food supply. This IS a mat

consequences that hope 1T will engage the seri-

the statement is made that all bonds oi

face it only refers to these bonds that are
redee,nabe after five or ten years, and pay

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS

dorsement OF the persons selected by the gov
ernment to act directors of these roads and
protect the interests of the United States in the

posed tho sole matters which should be taken
into account. In my opinion. are the situation OF
the government as a creditor and the surest way
to secure the payment Of the principal and in
terest of its debt. BY a recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States 1t has been
adjudyed that the laws OF the several states are
imperative to regulate rates of transportation
upon railroads, IL such regulation interferes with
the rate OF carriage from one state into another.
This important field Of control and regulation
having been thus left entirely unoccupied, the
eXpediency of federal action upon the subject Is
worthy of consideration.
