NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERs.

WHEN bees are gorged with honey
they never volunteer an attack.
q UNLESS bees are put into a perfectly
frost-proof place they had better be left
in the open air all winter
BEES, when frightened by smoke or
drumming on the hive, fill themselves
with honey and will rarely fight.
The formation of new colonies should
generally be confined to the season
when the bees are accommodating honey.
DO NOT spoil nice white honey by
storing it away in dirty-looking boxes.
especially If it is to be sent to market.
lr is best to begin in good season SO
as to be ready to winter the bees in as
good condition as possible.
COMMENCE in good season to gather
up and store away in as good condition
as possible all surplus combs and boxes.

give it frame of brood from another
colony containing brood in its first
stages
THE double hive is now used to mass
the bees for work and profit, and there
is no reason why the double hive should
not be doubled again, securing in this
way greater economy of labor on the
part of the bees and the beekeeper. 4,
ALL the boxes or frames containing
honey should be removed from the hiye
as soon as conNleted. In this way the
boxes will not be soiled and the beau-
tiful whiteness of the combs will be
preserved from the bees passing over it.
EACH hive should have its own bot
tom board, and this. board should be of
the same dimensions as the bottom G
the hive, except that it should proje
two inches on the entrance end, and
that way serve as kind of porch or
place for the bees.
In using the smoker the Judgment of
the operator must determine the ouan-
tity of smoke, as in some cases more
will be needed than in others. The
only rule is to. use enough to keep tne
bees under control from the start, at
the same time taking care not TO ma.,e

III. THE PROFITEER

The profiteer is a foe of democ-
racy, directly so and indirectly too,
in that the Radicals find in him a
cause and the Reds an excuse for
their warfare against the welfare of
democracy
And yet there are few that will
admit profiteering, and there are a
multitude of profiteers who prate
about their own loyalty and philan-
thropy and yet who batten upon a
helpless public. So susceptible are
we to the spirit of gain. so proud
are we of business sagacity and en-
terprise, so ready are we to Justify
ourselves by the examples of others,
and so corrupted have we become by
feeding on the necessities and the
LOYALTY of great nation, that al
most unconsciously we have plunged
into spirit of profiteering and
thereby into a great national danger.
dealers and manufacturers are
the chief sinners, Get rich now.
Make up for losses, real or imagin-
airy, of past times overhead ex-
penses for man of my standing are
so great. The outrageous cost and
poor quality OF labor require it
For thousand years or more OF
the Christian era, there was a Chris
tian doctrine known as the doctrine
of a Just price A Christian might
charge only what an article was
worth. For every article there was
Just price, which was close to the
cost of production. The common
law of England forbade 'Fegrating,
that is, the buying up of the whole
of a commodity to eXtort from the
public an unjust price. 1t also for
babe forestalling,' or the purchas-
ing of all of certain commodities
headed for the market to make on
it an excess profit. Whether you es-
cape the clutches of the law against
profiteering or not, the profiteer is
the enemy of his country and of So
ciety.
The notion that it is legitimate to
extort all that the ignorance or cred
ulity or necessity of the buyer may
permit is not ethical. All trade
should be mutually advantageous to
buyer and seller. A just price and
fair profits should govern business.
The profiteer is the arch ally of the
Red.

". THE ROBBER BARON

"Perched on the racy steep with
frowning battlements, surrounded
with deepset moat, the castle OF the
feudal baron once held sway over a
wide sweep of country The feudal
lord may have had his historical JUS
tification. Strength at least he had
in an age when strength was essen
tial to survival, and survival is the
first law of life And against that
feudal lord in his lordly castle, or
clothed in steel helmet and chain
armor, equipped with deadly weap-
ons, astride a mighty armored war
horse, backed up by knight and
squire a multitude of feudal serfs
were helpless.
Often the rule of the feudal lord
was benign. OFTEN without him the
whole countryside would have been
laid waste, the people slaughtered
and the property swept away. Often,
without his loyal help to his sover-
eign, the whole nation would have
persisted from a foreign foe. often
he was true loyal, brave, a kind pro-
tector to his people who loved him
true knight devoted to chiylary and
to arms.
But there were other feudal lords
whose castles We're just as strong,
whose armor shone just as brightly,
whose weapons We're as unerring,
who were not true knights. These
were the Robber Barons liers-in-

is but an example of democracy in
action,
Now the chief instrument hither>
to for enforcing the contention OF
labor, where agreement has not been
reached, is the strike, with its pro-
vision for the material support Of
the members while the strike is
pending. Our courts have held that
employees have the right to strike;
that is by mutual agreement, to
withdraw themselves from work un-
til an agreement with the employer
has been reached or they have de-
cided to call the strike off. | think
the public generally has upheld the
courts in this point of view, crude as
is this method of settling disputes.
A certain degree of success on the
part of labor with this method, to-
gether with the passionate appeals
of radical labor leaders, stimulated
strongly and constantly by the Red
admixture which has found its way
into labor has led to proposed dras>
tic uses of the strike. SO long as it
was a question between an employ
err and his employees, the public
looked on with a certain degree OF
equanimity It's sympathies swayed
from side to side as the facts in the
case becoming public seemed to
justify.
But Radical leaders have lately
started a movement on a new prin,
ciple which threatens the funda-
mental principles of democracy, and
so far they have lined themselves up
with the Reds and against democ-
racy. The new principle is to seize
for the strike a moment when the
loss will fall not on the employer
but upon the public.

even grown more and more complex.

Labor and the Public
Now when the public, in one step
after another, granted the conten>
ton that Labor is not commodity,
that it has the right to bargain col
lectively. that there should be a min
imum wage, that it has the right to
organize and maintain for its own
benefit societies or unions, even that
il may strike,-I say when the pub
lie assented to these successive steps,
it did not for a moment consent to
the point of view that a single man
or a group of men, entrusted with a
critical stage in the production,
might bring suffering and loss and
disaster to a whole nation, in order
that this threatened disaster might
be used to settle a dispute between
employees and employer. a locomot-
i've engineer has within his hand the
life and death of the crowded train
but he can not use that power to en-
force his just and unjust demands
In the hands of a few might, by
chance. rest the food supply OF a
great city. Disputes and alleged
rights can by no means be settled by
threatening the starvation or suffer
ing of the inhabitants as a means or
enforcing demand. It is not demo-
cratic for a simple labor group in
critical industry to exploit the labor
ers of all groups and the general
public because it has been entrusted
with especial duties, ! know, too,
full we'll, that if a great democracy
has. by legal method, chosen eXecu,
tives and courts and congress to di-

however formidable in numbers, may
or force it into course
which it may not freely and yolun-
tarily pursue. If in a republic, lit
tie groups and juntas may work
themselves into strategic positions
where they and not the multitude
may control and dictate, then the
spirit of democracy would be dead.
"A new day has dawned in labor
disputes. Where the necessities of
life are concerned, there are three
parties to the settlement. Employer
and employee might settle their dis
pute by loading new burdens onto

with whom they deal, who are
bright ornaments to triumphant de-
mocracv. For democracy does not
involve equality of wealth any more
than it involves equality in genius or
in physical strength.
Real Equality
The cry of equality Except as pro-
yided in our immortal Declaratlon)
is false cry. We are not equal In
size. shape color, health, strength
knowledge, wisdom. power. Democ-
racy is the very individual develop
ment and experience of each OF us
which leads us farther and farther
apart. No two trees are alike, no
two leaves, no two plants of the same
species and development but empha-
size the difference. The higher the
culture. the more varied and com
plex the resultant That is the OBJ
ject of all education.
"Nor is there any advantage, even
if it were possible, in economic
equality There is no such thing as
human equality except in the equal
ity of slavery. Equality of earthly
possessions would bring no equality
of enjoyment, of happiness, of wis
dom. of usefulness. When, with
like false cry, the shareholders point
ed to the self evident falsehood OF
the Declaration, the great Lincoln
expounded the true doctrine OF the
equality of all men in the eyes or
the law, with equal rights and priv
fleges, equal participation in deter
mining what our government should
be and do.
And so we rejoice in great range
of individual possessions and respon-
sibilities, and we do not see in this
in itself any bar to the general well
fare. We see possibilities of greater
general welfare even in these in
eaualties. But in those who lie III
wait for blood money, in the betray-
er of his associates for his own gain,
in the money shark who sells his
name to float legitimate and illegitl-
mate schemes, in the wrecker VINO
encourages the unwary that he may
pick up the flotsam and jetsam of
the financial wreckage-that is, IN
the Robber Baron of today, the hat
er of real democracy-our democ-
racy finds one of it's bitterest and
most implacable foes.
Il have described four Of the many
foes of democracy-the Reds, the
Radicals. the Profiteers and the

many and active.

Americans constitute one class, that

who hail the rewards of industry and
thrift as beneficent, who believe
that the spiritual man transcends his

the Christian doctrine of Love in
stead of the Red s doctrine of Hate,
