THE PURPOSE OF THE TIMES"

We print with considerable regret, and as
amatter Of necessity merely, in order to point
moral. the following from Chicago publi-
cation called the Railway Times. The article
is expurgated. 1t was not fit to print in full:
The Railway Times is in receipt of the first six
issues of THE WASHINGTON CITY TINES, a paper
with 1000 stockholders, published, as alleged in
the interest of labor
The issues received are not up to the promise,
the character of its editorials and news do not
suggest the ostensible purpose of its birth.
There squibs and sinkers of the same old
pattern, the tariff, the Breckinridge case, and
what not, but not line as to the labor move
ment, not paragraph as TO the reduction in
wages or the protest of labor
This will not do for paper in labor's interest.
Give them, gentlemen, the scandals, the winning
horse, the baseball news But tell us what labor
is doing, tell what our Congressman are
about, mention by name such honorables as are
supporting women outside of matrimony, have
sharp-nosed reporters around to inform us the
amount of time consumed playing poker-giving
the honorables' names, remember; tell US about
how many times a week the President and Sec
retary Carlisle, for instance, get jag on-if they
do at all-and such other information of like
pie are not SO much interested in the doings of
Jim Smith, when he treads the primrose paths
of dalliance or paints the town red, nor Of wind
on the tariff, nor of whether baby this or that
We are after knowing the goings on Of
the bigger fish, we want particulars as to the
diversions of the plutocrat, the usurer and the
monopolist That's our huckleberry, and II you
do not print that kind of matter, take down your
sign.
THE TIMES has reproduced this article as
matter Of necessity and in order to point a
moral. THE TIMES has never intended to be
sensational, and it never will be. 1t was not
founded for the purpose of causing trouble,
and it shall not be conducted for that purpose
1t was founded in the enthusiasm of the work
a-day people of Washington. 1t will continue
to advocate their cause. 1t will not do this,
however, in way to repel support. 1t will
invite, rather, the respect and the support of
thinking people everywhere. 1t will win their
admiration, If possible. 1t will lead them, too,
with what strength it has, out Of the onerous
and wrong conditions in which the fabric of
society would SO much like to enmesh them.

CONCERNING CoXEY.

1t will perhaps be recalled that Lincoln
how great and good he wasi who has been
greater or better in this republic?-made a
speech at Lowell once TO an excited crowd of
plain people (and it was the plain people that
he loved most of alb. and in it criticised the
utterances of certain ilocal editor, who had
criticised certain workmen in the town for
striking.
81 tell this editor" said Lincoln, ''that he
ought to be thankful that he lives in a town
where workingmen can strike"
And so he ought to have been; and so are
all of US fortunate to live in a country where
labor is free. or ought to be, and tries to be;
and it will be sorry day if sober efforts
should be made to depreciate the plain, every
day people, who are obliged to work for a
living, the plain. laboring men, who make the
capitalist possible. and who for that reason
have a right to be jealous of any encroach-
ments upon the part of their own poor crea-
lures.
1t is fortunate thing that the Coxey army,
80 called, is permitted to proceed peaceably
towards Washington. 1t will be still more
fortunate if these hapless travellers, seeking
they know not what, coming hither to urge
tie redress of wrongs, not imaginary by any
means. though vague perhaps. 1t is well
that they are coming peaceably, and it will be
better still If the people of this city, and es-
pecially the police authorities and indeed the
people OF the country, treat this movement
seriously. 1t will be well if they initiated the
attitude of The TIMES, for THE TIMES has
been, and is, and will be. the friend Of labor.
1t is the friend, and it will be, of the man
who seeks honest employment and cannot
find it. 1t will defend the man who has to
tramp, he knows not why nor whittier; and it
will the better serve the general community if
it conserves fearlessly and without favor the
rights of all Its friends and followers.

Chicago POST Office Safe.

Representative Bankhead, the chairman of
the House Public Buildings subcommittee
that went to Chicago to examine the post
office and custom house building, has re-
turned to Washington. Mr.. Bankhead says
the subcommitte, has not yet agreed on its re-
port. but expects to in very short time. He
expresses himself as believing that there is no
danger in the occupancy of the building, and
that with proper watching and attention it
will be perfectly safe for five or six years.
The subcommittee went over the entire build

IF EACH SUBSCRIBER GOT ANOTHER.

IF EACH SUBSCRIBER GOT ANOlHER.
It has proved a popular notion, this idea
that if each subscriber to THE TIMES got
another. 1t has been no trouble, but, on the
contrary. pleasure to hundreds. Continually
the news comes to this Office that here and
there subscribers by the dozen have been
obtained where one regular subscriber for the
paper has been merely handed his own copy
to friend or TO some acquaintance, and that
friend or acquaintance has passed the paper
along or has handed his own copy to another
friend or acquaintance; and so the contagion
has spread and hundreds of copies have actu-
ally been added to our circulation. 1t is q
trifiing thing to do, to hand this paper TO a
friend So kindly do it. 1t will be a fave: to
the friend, favor to US.

Related by an Argonant.

James Brown, of Salt Lake City,
Utah, claims to have witnessed the first
discovery of gold in California, having
been with Marshall when the glitter
ing scales we're picked up in Suffers
millrace in 1847. He tells the story
of the find as follows:
sSome time in January, 1917, I was
working with Marshall at Suffers mill,
on the American River. Marshall and
I came upon some decayed granite at
the bottom of the millrace, where we
were at work. Marshall was inter
ested in the rock, but the rest of us
didn't think anything Of it: He said,
we will shut down the gates early i'll
the morning. and it vas done. He
was down at the race that morning
while the rest of us were in the cabin.
In a short time Marshall came up with
his hat in his hand, saying, Boys, I've
got her now.
81 being about the youngest and
most curious of the crowd, ran to him,
and saw on the lining of his hat ten or
twelve pieces of scale gold. The larg-
est piece was worth fifty cents. 1picked
it up and tested it in my teeth, and as
it did not give I held it up and yelled
Gold, boys, gold!
"At that the rest of them crowded
around. I plated my piece out thin
and ran to the cabin and tested it on
a hot bed Of manzanita Goals, and as it
did not burn sS,way l knew it was gold.
We picked up lots of it in the next two
or three days. detroit Free fress.

then sell, taking care in the meantime
to break them we'll, SO rs to get work
enough out of them to pay for their
keep. A horse that has been given
good care so as to make q steady growth
and DEVELOPMENT from the time he was
foaled ought to be broken to light
work when past two years old, taking
care that only light work is given him
and not too much of that. Then,
whenever a good fair price can be
realized for them, unless they are
needed on the farm. and are worth
more to you than the price offered, 1t

young mares are the stronger the
reason why they should be kept on the
farm for breeding. No farmer can
| afford to sell the best of his animals of
any kind, especially those that he can
use to good advantage in improving
his stock. By mating q full blooded
sire to carefully selected mares, good
grade colts may be secured. Then II
in turn the very best OF these eraoe
mares are selected and again mated to
pure-bred stations a still further I'M
lrovement is made.
By keeping the best and breeding IN
| this way, selling all that are needed on
the farm, a considerable improvement
in quality of the horses can be made.
Keep mares and young, growing horses
to do the necessary work of the farm,
keeping the young horses until they
are reasonably well matured and thus
selling whenever a fair price is offered.
In this way considerable work can be
gotten out of the horses while they
are growing, and by taking care to
keep them in good condition they can
be marketed at any time.
But if the best mares are sold OFT,
and what cannot be sold are bred un-
der present conditions, the colts, ever
when reasonably we'll grown, will be
hard to sell at any price. The cost OF
raising the one is as much as the other.
and the difference IN value when READY
to market represents to a considerable
extent the difference in the profits

Wet Weather Philosophy.

As I was passing through F street
on a recent showery morning, L saw
an umbrella-mender sitting in front
of the door Of an Office building, work
ing away on a heap of broken UNI
brellas, which evidently he had col
lected from the tenants inside. The
rain was falling steadily, and the man
must have been wet to the skin be-
fore he returned their property to his
customers. ! could not forbear ask
ing him why he thus invited a bath.
"Why shouldn't II" he asked IN re-
spouse.
"Because it is a bad advertisement
for your trade" said /. ga tailor
should be always we'll dressed, a shoe
maker always we'll shod; by the same
logic, a man who deals IN umbrellas
ought to be dry when other persons
are getting soaked with rain
"You're dead wrong" he answered,
nromptlv. "There's no suggestion of
positive suffering in old clothes or
well-worn shoes-many people like
them better than new ones. But when
7 offer to mend a mans umbrellas l
make a great deal more of an impress
sion on him by coming into his pres
ence with a wet back. He says to
himself at once: is it really, SO wei

thing. 1t would give me my death!

SWINE ~HUSBANDRY.

Make the hogs comfortable. You
cannot grow pork p~ro6tably in winter
in a sty filled with mud and mire and
where cracks are even more visible
taan boards. Remember, in the first
place, that boards, clapboards, shin
giles and building paper are much
cheaper materials for affording pro-
lection and keeping out the cold than
is corn OF other grain. Another eau
tion-never burn corn in the bodies Of
hogs for fuel when the same is not
needed, but rather supply q warm,
snug piggery and plenty of straw
bedding and absorbents.
Corn no doubt will form the basis
of all grain foods, but do not depend
upon corn alone. Wheat is very cheap,
and q much better balanced food.
Therefore feed as much wheat as corn.
You should make wheat pay in the
vicinity of 81 a bushel for swine feed.
Rush the fattening swine to matur-
| ity and slaughter before extremely
| cold weather, if practicable, for il
| should be known that in cold weather
much food is consumed to keep up the
animal heat. The small hog weigh
ing from $50 to 800 pounds is the
most satisfactory one to the farmer, al
since most of the growth can be made
| in warm weather the first 200 pounds
are produced most cheaply, and min
months is all the time required 10
turning off the finished product.
Finally. let me advise readers t.
work up a fancy trade for pork pro
duets. There are thousands of "well
to do" families who enjoy ham ant
pork, but they want to know how tn
hogs have been fed, what is eaten, ant
where it comes from. Will you b
one to cater to this aristocratic de
mand?-New York. Warld
