Look After the Hogs Swill.

sun-baked swill in filthy barrels;
swill that is fermented into the
sharpest acid and putrefed into a
disgusting mass: swill that attracts
myriads Of carrion-loviry flies, is not
fit for the hogs. 1t is full of MAS
ma and disease germs Of various
kinds and hence it is dangerous to
feed it. Pleasantly soured swill,
swill that is mildly acid is all right,
but it should not be allowed to pass
that stage before it is fed; ana in
hot weather it gets past that stage
very quickly. It is not easy to look
after such things carefully in the
rush of all kinds of work, and some
cannot receive such suggestions with
patience. which is not surprising, but
for all that it will pay to give some
thoughts to the pigs. 1t will not be

STEEL STRIKE SITUATION

1t is gratifying to those who believe
in supporting law and order to know
that up to date there has been no clash
between the laboring men who are en-
gagged in the great steel strike and the
authorities Of the communities in which
the strike is being carried on. So far
all has been peaceful. Today's news,
however, indicates that the tension Of
the past week has produced considerable
friction between the strikers and their
former employers, and that trouble of
more or less serious nature is likely to
occur.
The strike is at present in a condition
where it is anybody's fight. Among
those who have witnessed former strug-
giles between laboring men and their en-
ployers there is little in the present stu
alton that affords substantial basis
upon which the former may found a
hope. In the history of strikes 1t has
been written time after time that labor
must win Its battles within a few days
after the strike begins or not at all. In
the long, wearying fight, where endur-
ance is required to carry on the con-
test, the labor organizations are gener-
ally worsted. This is the record of
strikes. and under ordinary conditions
the explanation for this state Of things
| is easily made.
Nevertheless, the striking coal miners
of Pennsylvania won their battle a year
ago after a protracted struggle, and
there is reason to believe that the unions
have profited by the example of the
miners who were engaged in the men,
orable battle in the coal regions. It Is
generally conceded that acts of violence
following the first days of the strike. are
an indication that the side resorting to
this form of argument is losing ground

have preceded it, and it's end may be

gay,
He wears a smile Of gladness and a but
tonhole bouquet;
He joins the cruising parties where the
white-topped schooners sail,
And goo-goos all the pretty girls who
chance to cross his trail.
At striking of the midnight hour he yet Is

MONTANA LABOR MARKET.

News from Great Falls is to the effect
that the officials of the Burlington road
are casting about for contractor who
will engage to build the Billings Great
Falls branch of the Burlington. and
have the job finished before the middle
of December. A contractor Of Great
Falls has refused to take the contract,
giving as the reason for his refusal the
state of the labor market in Montana.
He said the road building now going for
ward was constantly hampered by the
lack of men, and that while under ordi-
nary conditions it would he safe enough
to close with the offer Of the Burlington.
he believed it impossible to complete .
contract in the state this fall unless
laboring men became more eager for
work of the kind offered in grade con-
struction. So there the matter rests
cannot come to terms.
The fact that the Burlington is busy
with the affairs of the new branch in
the state of Montana Is an encourage
sign. It is we'll known that the branch
OF the Northern Pacific now being con-
structed in the Ruby valley, in Madison
county, is progressing slowly because Of
the scarcity of laborers, and other Sec
tons Of the state are feeling the same
hard conditions that affect the con-
tractors on the grades. At Horr, in
Park county. coal miners are wanted,
and in various other sections of the
state the demand for men to do laboring
work Is strong. The man who is willing
to work in Montana, and who is without
a job, can find employment in nearly
any section of the state.
The Inter Mountain is inclined to view
this buoyant condition of the labor mar
ket as a cheering indication Of Mon
tana's prosperity. Not for many years
has labor in this state been so well en-
ployed at such remunerative wages as
at present. Building operations in nearly
every town in the state have given en-
ployment to large number Of men who
under ordinary conditions would be un-
employed, and the revival Of the indus
tries that have been languishing for
years makes the labor market lively.
The prosperity Of the state of Montana is
meeting every test to which it has been
put

acquiring wisdom that is the fruit Of ex-
perience and sympathy for his mis-
guided followers that is the result OF
looking upon the repeated disasters that
have befallen them. Had the deposed
idol of democracy given his followers
this form of admonition early in his
political career many of the misguided
politicians who followed him into po-
litical retirement would look upon his
record with cheerfulness. AS the matter
now stands Bryan's advice to recall
citrant Ohio democrats to climb into the
band-wagon they SO rudely left a few
weeks ago is too late to be of use.
Faithful followers who wish to bolt to
prove their loyalty to the editor of the
Commoner should look for a safe place
to light before executing the political
Somersault.

The example set by the bandits who
robbed the Great Northern train near
Wagner a month ago seems to have
been followed very generally by the
train robbers in every section Of the
country since that time. AS a labor
saving device, dynamite bombs are Prov
ing of great assistance to train robbers.
In the old days of train robbing the
bandit was obliged to endure the physi-
cal strain OF holding heavy pistol
under the noses of passengers while his
companions rifled their pockets of valu-
ables. Now stick of dynamite applied
to the express car yields quicker returns
and obviates the manual effort demand
ed by the former plan. Improvement
appears to be the order of the age in
the most progressive circles Of law
breakers as we'll as in other walks OF
life. IT,

When the broiling sun is blazing in the hot
and cloudless sky.
And you're singed by every sultry breeze
that rusties scorchtng by.
With what sweet and gentle sympathy
comes science to the fore
And shows us that our suffering will very
soon be DER.
For from figures and statistics she has
gathered, 1t appears,
That the sun will be much cooler in about
10000. 600 years.
What a golden bow of promise thus 10
stretched before our eyes!
How Hope rises UP to cheer us and we
stifle all our signs!
And a glowing happy future, when the sun
no more shall blaze
Like o furnace. comes to tighten these hot
suffocating days;
And we hail the glad announcement with
burst of joyous cheers
That the sun will be much cooler In about
100000 900 years.
Then we'll bear in hopeful silence all the
hot waves as they come.
Though complaints arise within us, yet our
mouths shall still be dumb.
For we know that though the sunshine is
just now little strong,
Such a torrid state of Nature cannot last
so very long:
We can well afford to swelter when the
future has no fears.
For the sun will be much cooler in about
100000 years.
