THERE is the Dell to pay down in Kansas.
The grain has ripened the stalk, the graineries
ready for its reception but there are laborers
to garner it in. The farmers are in despair:
they have secured the state for Migrants and tramps
to press into SERVICE and the other day they went
far as to hold up express train and kidnap lot
of peaceful excursionists to work in the fields. The
country resounds with the walls of unfortunate
Kansas.
This condition of affairs is quite logical and the
sunfower state has brought it upon itself No
normally constituted, self-respecting laborer will
work, play or loaf in Kansas while he has energy
enough left to break into jail in any other state.
He would prefer being marooned desert island.
For Kansas is land of Freaks it breeds Funstons,
to be sure, but they run away and enlist as
they are old enough to realize their predicament.
The Carrie Nations remain amid the sunshine and
sunhowers and enact laws to govern the working
classes. These laws, framed for the purpose of
keeping the commonwealth pure and unspotted from
the world, treat men like children. The Lynx-eyed
law is forever lying in ambush for the Kansas
laborer When he goes into the towns after working
all summer in the fields, he must sit around and
drink pink lemonade through straw and get to bed
by nine o'clock at night If he does not do this, he
is nabbed by the marshal and an armed posse and
the Judge fines him all his savings the next morning
If couple of hens quarrel the possession of
angeworm in his back yard, the grand jury indicts
him for holding cooking main, and the entire
countryside attends the trial In this manner
morality is promoted and money kept at home in
Kansas.
Kansas is vacilating, weakened and whimsical,
and it eats notoriety with fork It knows that if
it behaved itself it would have to let something
over it and break it's leg before it's name would get
in the papers, and therefore it encourages freaks of
all sorts. Notoriey and fame are synonymous terms
in Kansas. It is bander-log that is forever about
to do something but forgets it ere the purpose is
an hour old. But notwithstanding this, Kansas
wants to know why laborers are scarce within its
| borders

have done better than we know in making the long
march; that stout heart and brave face about
all that is required of the traveller and that it will
not all be as purposeless it while resting
by the wayside. Surely if we have eased anothers
journey by glad hand, bracing word OF even a
cheering smile, our labor will not have been in vain
Surely if we have made the trip joyfully, climbed
the sleeps bravely and faced the discouragements
manfully, it must count for something at the last
reckoning even if it seems to but wasted labor.
At any rate so long as we believe our goal to be
still beyond us, the hardships we'll worth our
WHILE for in that belief we taste happiness. Hap
pness is the offspring of aspiration not of attain
ment and he who still has ideals and still strives for
something better and nobler need suffer no despair
even while viewing the milestones that mark the
of his folly.

NOTWITHSTANDING the great strike that
threatens the steel industry of this country it is
very apparent that the day of serious and lasting
differences between capital and labor is the wane
in the United States Both sides gradually
coming to the realization that strike of the old
fashioned kind is too expensive that it is much
sensible to make concessions and to settle the
troubles if possible, by arbitration. The public
press of today, be it said to its credit, seldom
counsels strike, which in itself is great preventa
tive But it is not very many years ago that news
papers of the yellow order felt bound to uphold
strikers, regardless of the merits of the case That
this is not true at the present time bespeaks better
order of things.
Another reason for the decline in the number of
strikes is the growing intelligence of the unions. At
one time any who gifted with a certain
forid oratory was reasonably to be appointed
delegate man whose business it is to deal with the
employers. Now business acumen is demanded Of
sidered essential attributes to the position.
A few weeks ago public meeting was held in
Cooper Union, New York, at which Mr.. Gompers
and Mr. Mitchell spoke for labor, and Mr. JUST and
Mr.. Sayward for the employers. The large hall was
crowded with working men, who went away more
than ever impressed with the fact that the relations
of capital and labor must be placed on business
basis, and that long strikes and lockouts de-
moralizing to both sides in the controversy The
day is coming and it is not very far distant either
the strikes will be but memories of the past and
when all controversies between employers and en-
ployed will be settled by impartial board Of
arbitration.

AS PREDICTED in The MIRROR last March, the
wheat crop throughout the Northwest promises to
be plethoric this year. AS our readers will re-
member, said early in the that if too much
rain did not fall at inopportune times if the heat
not too great and if drought did mot set in,
the crop would be good one Of course we are
pleased to have predictions verified. It is only
fair, however, to state that some credit is due the
farmers for the existing conditions, as they per-
formed the manual labor connected with planting
the grain.

IT is with great pleasure that we announce the
parole of James and Cole Younger from this insti-
tuition, after twenty-five years of penal servitude.
During their long incarceration, the Younger
brothers have the respect and admiration of
officials and inmates alike, and there is not man
within these walls who will fail to wish them God
speed upon their delivery and peace and plenty for
the balance of their days.

little while beside each one and view with critical
eye the path already traversed the feetng present
and the rough road which must travel to
reach our destination. Then it is that the past,
wrapped in the luminous robes Of memory, teeming
with lost opportunities and vague regrets, unfurs
itself before u.s. Then it is that we contrast our
heroic ideals and mighty purposes of year ago
with the failure and barren waste of the present
hour and then it is that we finally conclude that
life is very sorry business at it's best, and that the
most expect to show when the end
comes and the Master is to be reckoned with, is a
field of tares where fruit was sown in the spring

elsewhere, are returning on every train,
prepared to assume their duties once

Nearly all the buildings have under

wasn't the putting on of new roof, it
was something else; the woodwork and
floors of the interior have been
thoroughly cleaned, so when the schol-
ars assemble week from Monday they
will find themselves installed in place
of pleasant surroundings.
Superintendent Koontz is getting
everything in readiness as rapidly as
possible, but he is unable as yet to
make the assignment of teachers, for
the reason he prefers to first consult
the principals of the various schools

CHRISTIAN CHURCH CONVEN-
TON CLOSED TODAY.
Meeting A GREAT SUCCESS
&. w. Muckley of Kansas City Speaks
Il Before the Board Of Missions
/ on the Needs Of the
I Order.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Anaconda, Aug. 31.-The Montana
Christian church convention which has
been in session in Anaconda since We'd
nesday closed it's labors this afternoon
after the most successful meeting ever
held in the state.
The Christian Womens Board Of
Missions concluded it's labors yesterday
afternoon, and the principal feature Of
last nights program was an address on
-''Church Extension" by Secretary G. W..
Muckley of Kansas City, Mo-, who said
il part:
. Eighteen years ago the Christian
church began the creation Of a church
extension fund. This was long felt
need. Secretary Munnen took steps to
build up a church building fund long
before the organization of the church ex-
tension committee in 1883; but little came
of the effort.
Twenty years ago the whole brother
hood was exhorted to contribute for
building suitable church in the city Of
Washington, and responded with about
$4,000. Later the brethren, through the
general board, put about $4,000 into
houses of worship in Boston and Chat
tanooga.
"A great many appeals CAME to the
OVflu 4IoIA less lInpOTCdNL HelOS, lnQl-
eating the great need of a fund that
could be wisely used for this important
department of Christian help.
I'VE set out Is years ago to ra Sc $780,
900. This being raised through the en-
ergetic work of the preachers and
churches, it was apparent that a quarter
OF million would be none too much.
And when more than this was reached
last year the Kansas City convention di-
.rected that an effort be made to double
tt the next five years. This means about
$4,000 each year.
s- This is not an impracticable sum. 1t
was more than reached last year, but
not without earnest work by the secre-
tary and the churches elders and preach

reach it's apportionment, and "some> of
