Restoration of Wheelmen's League.
The plan to restore the League of
American Wheelmen to something of
the power and prestige it enjoyed in
the early days Of the bicycle will be
commended in various quarters. par
t1cularly among those who recognized
the good it accomplished and who re-
GREETED to see it's membership dwindle
from many thousands to a few hun
dTeds. In it's day and generation the
L. A. w. did valuable service for the
public, notably in forwarding the good
reads movement, as well as securing
the rights of wheelmen on the high
ways Of nearly every state. Though
the days of bicycling as fad are hap
PLY passed and the fashionable folk
have turned from it to the newer
sports of gol6ng and automobiling, the
wheel has by no means been relegated
to the position Of WORKOUT toy. Its
use as practical conveyance and for
wholesome exercise has steadily in
creased in town and country, and this
year there has been quite a marked re-
vival in wheeling.
With the view Of restoring the
League of American Wheelmen to it's
former place in the esteem Of all who
use the bicycle it is proposed to make
it national touring association The
effort will be to encourage the popular
ization Of the many picturesque and
historic routes and scenes in this
country which Americans are too apt
to neglect through ignorance of the
beauties of their own country Such
project would seem to furnish a
field for work in which the leagues
usefulness could be indefinitely pro-
longed. The motor bicycle now fur
nishes a link between the wheel and
the automobile, and there should be
little difficulty in arranging co-opera-
ton between the L. A. W. and the mo-
tor car clubs for the objects outlined
in the new plan-"good roads, liberal
road rights and privileges. better hotel
accommodations and an appreciation
of the country's natural beauties and
historic glory"

Verdict In the Samoan Case.

5gE5 -S01OAcO IN INC samoan Case
The government of the United States
Will doubtless accept with good grace
the decision of King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway in the now almost forgot
ten triangular controversy over the
Samoan islands, though the verdict in
favor of Germany and against the
contentious of the United States and
Great Britain is decidedly distasteful
to u.s. So far as the payment of in
demnity is concerned, this government
will comply with King Oscars deci-
sion without protest, yet it will evil
IDENTIFY refuse to be bound by the prin-
ciple laid down or recognize it as es-
tablishing precedent.
The real issues of the Samoan ques-
ton were settled some years ago by
the partition of the islands, and the
present verdict will disturb no exist.
ing status Of boundaries or sovereign
ty nor of commercial or political
rights. Neither is any large question
OF national honor involved. The thing
unpalatable to US in the decision is
that it holds this government culpable
in landing marines at Apia in 1889 for
the protection of American interest
and enunciates principle which, if &C
cepted as precedent, would seriously
restrict the assertion of American
rights in foreign countries in case of
revolution and rioting jeopardizing the
rights of American citizens.
It is possible that this government
was guilty Of a technical wrong in
1889 and interviewed in Samoan affairs
without sufficient warrant, and that
the facts, never very clearly understood
and now well nigh forgotten, justify
King Oscars adverse decision Having
agreed to submit the case to the Scan
dinavian monarch, whose intelligence
and disinterestedness are not ques-
toned, the United States will Of course
Loyalty abide by his finding, but it
will be neither disrespectful to the

Evolution Of Labor Unions.

IN the Contemporary Review Carroll
.. Wright gives some facts regarding
the evolution Of labor unions which
are Of especial timely interest tn view
Of what has so lately happened in the
Pennsylvania coalfelds. While it is
only within the past thirty years that
labor organization has become sub
ject of universal practical concern in
this country, the union impulse, says
Mr.. Wright, has been at work here
since the colonial days. There was a
hint Of it in the "Caulkers' club
(whence ''caucus') of Massachusetts
as far back as the early part of the
eighteenth century, though the condi-
lions We're not favorable to organiza-
ton as we know it now, because in
dustry was then so poorly developed,
and 1.-The domestic system of labor
also stood in the way of extensive or
ganization."
During the first struggles of the re-
public almost no experiments were
made apparently to bring working
men together in such associations, but
list of unions is given as follows for
the first quarter of the nineteenth Gen.
tury.
1so3-New York Society of Journeymen
Shipwrights.
1S06-An organization Of the house car
penters of the same city.
1s06-The Tailors' union.
1819-The hatters' organization
1822-The Columbian Charitable Society
of Shipwrights and Caulkers of Boston
and Charleston.
Mention is made also of the New
York Typographical society, which
was a going concern in 1917 and which
is supposed to have had it's start in the
previous century,
In the second quarter of the nine
teenth century, continues Mr.. Wright,
great interest was shown in the cause
Of labor, and there were many work
1ngmen's clubs, workingmen's papers
and workingmen's conventions, in
which the right to organize was pro-
claimed and the effect of organization
on strikes and lockouts was debated.
Following these meetings in the city of
Boston in the years 1881 and 1882 the Gen.
eral Trades Unions of the City Of New
York were active in discussing the same
questions, and this is the first attempt,
SO far as the history Of the development
OF industry is concerned. to unite work.
1ngmen of different trades in one organ
tzation. In later years this attempt was
repeated by the knights of Labor.
The advance that has been made
since that time in trade unionism is
tremendous until now, as demonstrate
ed so recently and forcibly in the an
thracite coal regions, organization in
the ranks of both skilled and unskilled
labor is being recognized as an essen
tial factor in our industrial system.

Lord Roberts has partly promised to

cause of his humanity in warfare and
his eminence as a soldier. It is curl

S. c. Cowgirl. of Indiana, Visits

Conditions.

Marshalltown has an opportunity to
investigate the merits of new indus
try which, if secured, would give TO the
city branch plant of one of the largest
drain tile concerns in the country, the

Mr.. S. c. Cowgirl, of Summitville,

gate the conditions, and left for his
home in the evening as we'll satisfied
as he could be expected, considering his

said that the only requirements neces-
sary were proper clay and shipping ia
clities. He has no doubts concerning
the latter requisition, but he is not so
sure of the first, and more important
one.
Mr. Cowgirl has been in Iowa three
weeks, having visited Des Moines, FIT.

that the clay here is suitable he Will

and employed 200 men, Last May he
sold to the trust, the National Drain
Tile Association.
The fact that Mr.. Cowgirl, as the rep
resentative of the trust, is anxious to
locate plant in Iowa, should be
enough to warrant action on the part
of the Commercial Club, and no doubt
the proposition will be looked into care
fully.

After the first three innings the game
was fast on both sides. the batters be-

ors filled the bases on two other oc-

ing by sharp fielding. Maxwell who
was on the slab for the locals. pitched
a fast game thruout. Clarke. for the
visitors, also threw a good game, but he
should have been hit oftener than he
was. The prevailing weakness of the
home team is their stick work. One of
the pretty features was Stepan's work
in the right garden, where he pulled in
several high sun balls The fans We're
