A COLLEGE COURSE FOR LABOR
LEADERS.

Edward A Moffett, a representative
of the Boyce's Weekly, and a labor
leader of more than local fame, comes
forward with proposition to prepare
men for labor leadership by giving
them a course of two years at a col
might seem to be a good one. but it
is doubtful if what a labor leader
wants is a course of college instruc-
ton. And it is still more doubtful if
a man trained for the duties of lead
ership in a collegiate institution would
be a successful labor leader or would
be satisfactory to labor unions.
What is needed more than anything
else in a labor leader are common sense
and good judgment. Good judgment
might be called common sense. The
next thing that is wanted is sterling
honesty, and third is great force of
character.
The late Mr.. Arthur. chief of the
locomotive engineers, had all of these
qualities, and he was the most sue
CeSSlul ldpOI ledOeI IlllS COuAliy lAelS
known. He had no bitterness against
capital and he was absolutely true to
the organization which he SO sue
cessfully guided. He would not per-
NIT his men to strike except as a last
resort, and not then unless it was
clear to him that they stood a good
chance of getting what they demand
ed. 1t was only occasionally that there
was a strike of locomotive engineers,
and as a general thing they won their
strikes. Mr.. Arthur had the conf
dence of railroad men. They knew he
wouldn't make a demand for which
there wasn't a good foundation. There
fore they were always ready to meet
him and discuss the demands which
he presented. The leadership of Mr..
Arthur was the highest kind of arbi-
tration. He was willing to give and
take, but he always succeeded in get
ting the very best terms possible for
his men.
A board to select labor leaders like
Mr.. Arthur was could do the cause of
labor and capital a great deal more
good than a college course for men
destined to be at the head of labor
organizations. OF course. it would be
a difficult matter to get a board that
would have the judgment to make the
wisest selections, and more difficult still
to get a board that wouldn't be in
fuenced by personal considerations, a
desire to have friends appointed, etc,
but not more difficult than it would be
to choose the right sort of men to send
to college to acquire knowledge of what
! is needed TO make a labor leader.

The Proper Way.

There was milk on his boots, sus-
picion of hayseed in his hair, and if
further proof of agricultural pursuits
was needed he had a shoe box full of
lunch in one of his hands, while in the
offing two confidence men" fingered
like wolves on the trail of a wounded
buffalo, says the Kansas City indie
pendent.
He seemed to be anxiously in search
of something or some one, and a kindly
faced, yet alert, old gentleman ap-
preached him and inquired if he could
be of any service.
I'm lookin fer a policeman" con-
fessed the farmer.
"Well. you'll never find a policeman
by looking for him." advised the friend
in need; Just get a push cart, fill it
full of peanuts or bananas, and a po-
liceman will find you soon enough"

Whether or not picking cockspurs is
the right way to rid a piece of ground
of them, the fact remains that the
Park Extension ought to be relieved of
the nuisance of their multitudinous
presence. Each succeeding season they
are a source of painful irritation to
thousands of persons who walk on the
Extension. Children cannot play on
the grass because it is filled with the
vicious little spines, and adults who
walk across the place must stop fire.

The late Lord Salisbury was one of
the leading men of Great Britain; a
statesman for many years prime min
lister of the country, standing next to
the sovereign in matters of govern
ment. And yet when he died, he had
a less fine" funeral than many a hod-
carrier or dray driver in the United
States. In his will he stipulated that
the cost of his funeral should not be
more than 500. A cable to the World
says that the actual cost was only $40.
Many a poor widow in this country
spends four times that sum, and works
her fingers to the bone to pay it, in
order to make a display at the funeral
of her husband. There is too much of
ostentation at funerals, and by setting
an example of modesty and simplicity
in the matter Lord Salisbury conferred
a favor on the race even as he passed
to the tomb.

cotton boil weevil problem. At inter-
walls around his forty-acre cotton field
he planted castor oil beans, and not

were nearly ruined by boil weevils, not
a weevil or any other sort of insect
molested his cotton. The Texas Boil
Weevil Commission has offered, a re-

pest, and the farmersin question thinks
he is entitled to the reward. In this

TO PACK

Is the town meeting" tonight to be

pared to round up all their forces, pack

with the aid of F. NJ. Hatch. The work
which the two are doing, if successful,
will make the Inauguration of County
government a certainty. The com
plants about it have for their real
basis, it is stated, opposition to County
government.
Governor Carter expressed himself as
pleased that there is II prospect of the
successful accomplishment of Hatch's
mission. 1t will end all uncertainty as
to establishment of County govern
ment, while still leaving Hawaii free
to conduct her own affairs. Instead of
being an interference with Hawaiian
local affairs, or a curtailment of the
powers given to the Territory by the
Organic Act, it is an increase of local
powers of self-government.
The County government act which
Hawaii asks Congress to ratify is an
exercise of power by Hawaii beyond
what was allowed her in the Organic
Act The Supreme Court has already
decided that Hawaii went beyond her
legal powers in passing the act. Con-

pie when there was time TO oppose IL
and none did so. 1 was and am in

the people, with all parties in favor of

IF Congress takes the action asked, 1t

and that is all we want. Mr.. Hatch
did not go to Washington as an agent
of the government, but he did go with
the approval of myse!r, and 1 hope he
will succeed.
1T is argued that if the County Act
is knocked out the appropriation bills
of the last period will be in force again,
because the Organic Act says that in
case of failure to pass appropriations
the only ones shall continue But there
has been no failure to pass appropria-
tions. The old appropriation bills are
therefore dead and cannot be revived
except by a special session of the leg
islature. Perhaps the Territory cam
not afford that, but stlIl less can it af-
ford to have a hiatus during which the
government will not have authority to
keep up it's departments"

The arrangements for the Christmas

Weaver, the matron is trying to carry
out. This is nothing more nor less
than an archestra of ancient Hawaiian
musical instruments, supplemented by
musical instruments of modern times,
but not dissonant or out of harmony
with the elder instruments. The mu-
sic to be played will be the ancient Ha-
waiian music modified by modern usage
to fit them for the instruments that
will be played.
Among the most curious of the an
cient instruments will be an ahu or
nose flute. One of the inmates of the
Home, a man of sixty or thereabouts,
has one of these very rare instruments
and plays it. The instrument is a

Both defendants were tried on a

prosecuted by District Attorney Brec-

Another instrument which will be
played in this unique orchestra is the

horsehair or other vibrant cord. The
name has also been applied to the
jewsharp. The kilu is an instrument
