We're VIGOROUSLY unequal and onerous. {
1t was the most natural thing in the :
world. that men should. assemble to-
gether, discuss their grievances and:
devise plans for their relief.
What, let some one try to imagine,>
would have been the conditions today
had 1t been otherwise? What if the:
workers had tamely submitted, Offering
no resistance to the entertainments of
the possessing class and willingly con-
ceding the right of that class to decide
without reference to thenr what should
be their hours Of work, Whit pay they
should receive, and that the relation
ship OF master and man should entirely
depend at all times and under all cir
cumstances upon the whin of the
master! Will any sane person say that
such conditions would tend to promote
progress or the public welfare? Under
them would the industrial progress
made in the United States have been
possible? Who, on the other hand,
having powers of observation and be-
ing freed from prejudice, does not know
that the organization Of labor has con-
tributed immeasurably to the system
attic development of industry and trade.

| And yet it is just here where the
blatant Parry in defiance of the saner
and better-informed element among the
| manufacturers of this country, which
element it is quite safe to declare rec
ognizes the historic and economic ne
| cessity Of trades unionism, puts in his
lusty-and senseless objections. 1t is
easy to imagine this ranter from In
dianapolis in the garb of Simon Legree,
lash in hand, willing by force to drive
submissive slaves to their tasks. But
there stands in the way of his ambition
the labor union which he hates, not to
carry out any Of the idiotic schemes
which he attributes to it, hut to pro-
mote efficiency in. production and
justice in distribution to insure shorter
hours of toll and higher rates Of COM
pensation. Parry's palaver will never
convince the sober, intelligent manu-
facturers of the country either OF his
own wisdom or their need of hts SER
vices in their affairs. Already, indeed,
they are beginning to appraise Parry
at his true paltry value. His opposi>
ton to labor organization will be as
Intellectual with the working class as is
his egotistical swagger with sensible
men in the employing class. The labor
movement, organized and disciplined,
with Intelligent purpose and conserva-
tive aims, is a fixed and definite factor
in our modern civilization. It cannot
be shaken by the prancing, prattling
Parry of Indianapolis.

HE HAD A. SHOTGUN.

A North Carolinian was found by a
traveller in possession of a. farm for
which he had no deed. Being asked if
he did not get deed when he bought
the property he replied: No, sah-no
deed"
"Then, how can you say you own
it?". r..
''How kin I say sah-How kin l
say?" he repeated; why, sab, I cum
long yere arter the wah, and liked the
looks of the place and squatted, on. it.
Since that time three: different critters
have cum up from Madisonville to hist
me off, and hev killed two and wound
ed the t'other, and held right on. If
tibet haint ownin' the property then I'd
like to know! No, sab, hain't got no
deed, but have got a double barreled
shotgun, and I reckon thar won't be
any dispute about ownership when

Any intelligent consideration Of the.
opposition to organized labor led by
such men as David M. Parry, president
Of the National Association Of Manu-
facturers, calls for clear understand
ing and recognition, not only Of the
purposes of trades unionism, but of the
causes which led to the association Of
the workers for mutual protection and
benefits.
It is a prevalent idea, and one that is
frequently affirmed by friends Of Or
ganized labor, that the modern trade
union is really an ancient institution.
Some writer's have specialized even to
the extent Of tracing the movement as
far back as biblical times. But the
trades union as we WnOW it today is
really Of comparatively recent origin
and may be said to be for all practical
purposes, contemporaneous with the
rise of the machine era and the factory
system. When the manufacturer was
no longer the maker of things, but be-
came the possessor of the machinery of
production, that is, when fashiOning
things by hand was succeeded by pro-
ducing them with the aid OF machines,
a tremendous revolution was recorded
in industry. This has produced results
SO vast and effected social changes so
| radical, as to create practically new
conditions of life. And the change
necessarily carried with it a demand
for such readjustment as would insure
to the real manufacturer-the working
man-some just share Of the enormous
| benefits resulting from the improved
facilities Of production.
| It is obvious that with the keener
competition among the new employing
class and the necessity which followed
organizing combinations to protect such
interests, the individual wofkingman
must look to association with his own
class if his interests were to be con-
served. Thus 1t was that in a 1nodi-
fled form the struggle Of classes con-
tinued under the new conditions
Without, with a few exceptional in
stances, being able to tell why, the
working class felt, and still feel, that
they were being victimized by an order
of thin s in which the machinery OF
production is in the possession of a
| few. It was not the mischievous med
ding of the labor agitator that brought
the workers together for betterment
of their conditions at all. It was
on the contrary, the great hardships in
cidental to the vast change from nandi-
craft to machine production. AS the
distribution Of wealth produced, the
long hours of labor and the general
conditions to which the workers were
expected to submit with resignation

LET THE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR

Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, of Clncin-
natl, recently delivered sermon to his
Vine street congregation from the text:
Render unto Caesar the things which
are Caesar's.' He said in part:
What is the greatest menace to re-
publican institutions? What is it that
threatens the life of our civilization?
Ninety nine out of hundred men
would give the same answer: Too
great wealth and power in the hands of
the few.

to return a distance of some twelve

upon a side-track, merely to satisfy the

Thus by line upon line, precept upon
precept, here a little, there little, men
are learning that there has already:
! arisen in this country a privileged
class, and that between the privileges
of this class and the liberties of the
many there is an irrepressible conflict.

There can be but one answer We have

Idaho Must Fix Law

Boise, Ida, Oct. 22.-The state has re-
ceived advices from the General Land
Office tc the effect that the Government
will not approve any more projects in
this state for the reclamation of lands
under the Carey act or patent any lands
contracted to be reclaimed under that
act until the state shall have amended
it's own law accepting the grant and
making provisions for carrying it into
execution. The ruling has come in con.
nection with the application for the
Marysville Canal Company.
In 1901 the state amended It's land
laws, the amendment providing that any
lands which may not have been taken
by settlers under any Carey Canal sys-
tenn may be patented by the state to the
company by which such works were con-
structed. 1t is held that it Is in direct
conflict with the purposes of the Carey
law, which stipulates that lands reclaim
ed under it's PROVISIONS shall not pass to
others than actual settlers and not in
tracts larger than 100 acres. The state
authorities are somewhat bothered about
the matter since there are several opera
tions in progress under the law and sew.
eral others in contemplation.
General Manager Filler, of the Twin
Falls Company, who is in town, states it
will make no difference to them, as they
will have settlers for ali of their tract of
25O.00O acres OF land. Others who have
applications pending have expressed a
willingness to waive the right to have
any unsppropriated lands decided to
their companies.
They have no doubt the Legislature
will comply with the requirements and
that their projects can 60 on without in.
terruption. The matter will be taken
up with the department with the view
of coming to fuller understanding on
the subject.

From Fossil to Arling ton.

Portland, Oct. 23.-The first perma-
nent work on the property of the Ar
lington & Pacific Coast Railway Com
pany, the new road for Gillian county
to extend from Arlington to Fossil, is
being done. A portion of the right of
way is secured.
The company was incorporated about
year ago. and is known to include a
number of the most substantial capital
lists of Portland, thus insuring the COM
pletion Of the road.
Every preparation has been made for
the early completion of the branch.
Gillian county farmers, stockmen and
merchants have long looked forward to
this project as the one which is to re-
lieve them of the heretofore gigantic
task of disposng of the output of mer-
chandse of various kinds which the
country tapped produces.
Now the work has actually begun at
Arlington, and it will be but a matter of

CANAL AT CELLO.
cyraior Langftt Submits Reports on
the Project.

Major Langfitt has sent report on
&be proposed canal and locks below
Celio to the special board of engineers
which is evolving plan to modify the
4Iarts project The report contains
recommendations and estimates, derived
from the surveys which the local
engineers made last Summer.
The new canal project, in all proba-
Dilty will cost but little more than
Captain Hart's plan. Tho estimated
outlay, according to the Harts plan, as
submitted in 1900, was less than 81 4,000,-
900.
Captain Harts undertook to minimize
she cost by means of dam at the mar
rows, where the Columbia at low water
is l50 feet wide and 1SO feet deep. Evil
IDENTITY, he did not know the full depth
OF did not appreciate the difficulties OF
building the dam, for the special board
has rejected it as impracticable.
The idea of the special board is that a
continuous canal, some A., 900 feet long,
on the Oregon shore, below Cello Falls,
is the best means of surrounding the
II oto Il
<hat the modified project would greatly
exceed the cost of the Harts plan; con-
ssequently, that the difficulty of getting
sufficient money would be augmented.
The probability that the money required
will not 20 much beyond the sum need
ed for the Hearts project will be crafty
ing to the interests which desire the
opening of the river.
About half the length Of the canal is
TO be excavated in basaltic rock and the
rest in sand and gravel. The canal will
nave seven feet of water over the miter
sills, and will be Is feet wide at the
bottom.
Major Lsngftt has made the surveys
for the purpose of attording the board
required information. On those sur
Eeys the board will base its recommends
aious to the Chief of Engineers.

that. while that treaty did not cover as
much ground as did the treaty with the
United States, it would be affective as
an entering wedge.
Referring to the prospects for an
Anglo American treaty Mr.. Barclay said !:
"At New York l had an opportunity
of comforting with many eminent men OF
business, and without exception l gath
cred that on their part revival of the
movement would be heralded with great
satisfaction. Everybody l spoke to had
a vivid recollection of the financial re-
suits of the famous Venezuelan dispatch
of Mr.. Olney, and everybody showed a
disposition to do their level best to get
some system adopted to preventa recur-
renee OF such disaster.
'But it is in this city that | have,
without exception, received the warm.
est encouragement. Everybody OF H.
portance here agrees that as in the case
of the Anglo French movement we must
not push forward with too great speed, !,
but gradually get representative bodies
of the country to show their approval
and testify to the general desire of the
country to consolidate the relations with
Great Britain in some permanent form. y
Mr.. Barclay has talked with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay on this
subject.

Confer With Roosevelt.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox, accompanied by Charles F.
Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad, who
have been retained as special Govern
ment counsel in the prosecution of the
persons indicted for criminal lrregu-
larties in the Postoffice Department,
had long conference with President
Roosevelt this afternoon.
1t is known that the matters under
discussion related particularly to the
matters of the postoffice investigation,
which have not been developed thor
ouehy in any reports yet presented to
the President or postoffice officials.
The Bonaparte and Conrad report re-
Gently submitted to the President, it can
be said deals with things rather than
persons. The President desired from
the special attorneys merely that they
should report upon the accuracy of the
Tulloch charges. 1t is known that the
report did contain two or three recon-
mendatons, but these were as TO meth
DDS and not as to men.
Attorneys BoDaparte and Conrad will,
under the Presidents order, continue
the investigations along the lines OF
their suggestion in their report, which
will be made public probably at an
early date. Later on the President vii!
transmit to Congress all reports made to
him concerning the postal investigations.
Those portions of the Conrad Bona
parte report will contain the findings OF
the attorneys regarding persons who
have not been indicted, but whose
official actions have been irregular, If
not criminal 1t is discovered by the
attorneys that cases against these per-
sons cannot be made because OF the
statute of limitations, which bars pros
ecution at this time.

German on Americas Need.

Berlin, Oct. 22.-President Koch, OF
the Reichbank, discussing American f.
nancial matters, said today to the cor
respondent OF the Associated Press
"According to my private information
from the United States, the most lively
interest is manifested there for further
reform of the currency system in the di-
rection of greater elasticity. Your
country already has taken long strides
toward sound monetary system in the
repeal of the Sherman law, as well as
in more recent measures. This legis-
lation has been dictated by a determine
tion to keep the currency sound.
"But from our German experience,
we regard elasticity as being next in i'm
portance to soundness, and as being in
deed indispensable for the circulating
medium of a great commercial nation.
and we think it would be of immense
advantage to the United States to adopt
some plan under which the volume of
circulation would naturally adjust it.
