IRISH GOLD ORNAMENTS.
Legal Controversy Over Rare Pieces
of Ancient Jevelry Plowed Up
in Northwest of Ireland

The remarkable case of the Irish
gold ornaments will soon come on
for hearing in the law courts, ac-
cording to a dispatch from London to
the New York Tribune. These relics
were ploughed up on some land in
the northwest of Ireland in 1896 by
a farm laborer, and, after passing
through several hands, were sold to
the British museum for 5000. All
efforts to reclaim them for Ireland
have proved unavailing, the authori-
ties at Bloomsbury being precluded
by statute from parting with any
object once acquired. The govern
ment law officers say the articles are
treasure trove, and therefore belong
to the crown, but the trustees of the
museum reply that within living
memory the sea has burst over the
land upon which the objects were
found, and probably at the date to
which they belonged the sea extended
much further inland. The relics in

celtic character in relief; twisted

An Object Lesson.

Tie cheapest telegraph service in
the world is in Australia. 1t is owned
and operated entirely by the govern
ment and is considered part of the
postal system. The rates are l8 cents
for messages of ten words to anv
point within the same state, while to
any other point within the common.
wealth the uniform charge is "a cents
A message may be sent from Rock
hampton to Perth, a distance of 4,5OO
miles, for "a cents. 1t is claimed that
these rates pay all operating expenses
and also good interest on the origi.
nal expense of establishing the lines.
Australia has expended sum equal
to Sl8 600, 900 90 in the construction OF
telegraphs, and the people of that
country send more than twice as many
messages as the Americans do.-Ex.
Compare the above rates with those
we have to pay in this country and
you will see the difference between a
public utility operated by the public
for the public and the same kind of a
utility operated by private owners for
their own benefit.

A SCHOOL OF COOPERATION.

A new organization known as the
National School Of Cooperation has
been Incorporated at Topeka, Kansas.
James Butler is president, Otis S. AL
len secretary, and W. D. Gilpin, C. B.
Hoffman, John w. Breidenthal, n. N.
Gaines, S. II. Allen and C. Vincent
are trustees.
The object of the organiza alton is to
teach the principles of co operation
and its advantages when applied to
fraternal, social, educational and bus
mess transactions. To enroll and get
together farmers, laborers, business
men and women, in all honorable avo-
cations of life, for the study and appli-
cation of cooperative principles in
business affairs, which will enable
them to secure the same advantages
that are obtained by labor organiza-
tions in all their various branches and
the benefit of association That is re-
ceived by organizations in other lines.
These results are expected TO be &C.
complished by means of local schools,
county institutes and state assemblies.
Printed lectures will be sent out to To-
cal instructors once a month. Partic-
ulars concerning the new movement will
be furnished to anyone Interested who
will address the school at Topeka,

AUTOS GAIN VOTES.
Machines Used in Great Britain az
Founders at the Polls.
Amusing Cases Where Artisans Walls
to Town and Back Again to Sc
cure Ride in the Horse
Less CarniaEea.

Automobiles played an extremely
important part in the Chertsey cleo
ton, which took place the other day.
Some sixty machines were employed
In bringing voters to the polls.
The conservative headquarters had
30 working, while 20 cars carried out
the orders of the liberal agents. In
addition a number of owners of ma
chimes were working independently
of the central organization. 1t is
calculated that each of the 60 politi-
cal automobiles during the day trav-
eled an average of 100 miles, making
total of 5000.
It was amusing to note that the
voters, particularly those of the la
boring classes, turned up their noses
at comfortable broughams or lux
uriously appointed landaus and in
sisted upon having an automobile
ride. At Eghan an elector, on being
invited to drive to the polling place
in governess' cart, said he regarded
the governess' cart as an obnoxious
form of bribery, and if there was not
an automobile handy he would pre-
fer to walk and would 'joaly we'll
take care" that he pleased himself in
voting.
Along Ripley road, where they are
so accustomed to automobiles as to
be able to distinguish Panhard
from locomobile, electors were very
particular to inquire what make of
machine was placed at their disposal
before they consented to 20 to the
polls.
Before 8 o'clock in the morning a.
voter residing some distance outside
Chertsey walked all the way to the
committee room to inquire when he
could have an automobile to convey
him to the polls. 1t was pointed out
that the polling station was only a
stones throw from where he was,
and that as brougham was disen-
gagged he might enjoy the satisfac-
ton of being one of the very first
electors to record his vote.
THAT was not what 1 came to ask
you," he replied with dignity. II
came to ask you a plain question,
man to man, when it would be con-
venient to send one of those auto
mobiles to fetch me to the poll. If
it isn't convenient to you, I'll just
step around to the other people:
perhaps they are not quite so busy"
1t was arranged that an automobile
be sent to his cottage at 11:3O, and
he tramped contentedly home to wait
for it.

MORE STRIKE Developments

Immediately after the publication of
the strike commissions report there
was a great jubilee over the prospects
OF having future troubles between cap
ital and labor settled peaceably, and
many saw in this great victory for
the labor organizations. We did not
take such roseate view of the situa-
ton, because we saw that the special
reason that made it possible to force
arbitration of the coal strike will not
have effect in many cases. The fact
that this strike so vitality affected the
entire nation made it possible for the
president to get the operators to con-
sent to arbitration. There NAV be
other strikes that will as far as monev
loss to the nation is concerned be lust
as destructive, but it will not so d.
rectly affect every home in the country
and cause such q popular upheaval.
That both sides, capital and labor,
are preparing for bitter struggle in
the future is apparent. The laborers
feel that the strike showed their power
and they want to take advantage OF
this power to force better conditions
for themselves. The capitalists are
very bitter in their denunciations of
the "usurpations" of the labor un-
ions. The following clippings cut
from two exchanges on the same day
are very suggestive of the feeling that
exists in these circles:
"It is asserted that the next national
meeting of the manufacturers will see
the form alton of a gigantic community
OF interests, in which all the manu-
facturers of the country will Join.
The purpose will be to enable the
manufacturing interests of the coun.
try to present solid front to the la
Dor organic atoms.
IA defensive alliance of most of
the trades unions of the country is q
possibility of the near future, and the
heads of various labor organic ations,
led by President T. J. Shaffer of the
Amalgsmated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers are forming
plans with that object in view. II
formed, this amalgamation of work
ingmen will be the largest ever in ex-
istence and will have membership
up in the millions"

Should Roosevelt be beaten in the
convention by the trust agents it might
be possible that q Bryan democrat
would be nominated, but the trusts
would look after congress in that case
too, and we would get no further.
The fusionists supported Bryan in
1895 because they knew that he would
if elected have the power to force the
recognition of silver by ordering his
secretary Of the treasury to pay notes
in silver instead of in gold. To pro-
tect themselves the goldbugs would
have been forced to remonetize silver
in order to restore its value. That
power is now taken away, and even If
the silver issue should come up again
there would be no chance to DO any,
thing unless congress favorable to it
could be elected. We supported Bry-
an in 1900 because the vital question
then, Imperialism, could be decided
by the president. But the vital ques-
tion now, the trust question, cannot be
settled without new laws, and there is
no hope at present of getting either a
republican or dem ocratic congress
that will consent to pass such laws.
The trusts are too strongly intrenched
in the senate.
Reorganize the peoples party.
Unite the factions that have no longer
any cause for standing apart from
each other. Agitate, educate. Preach
the doctrine of government ownership
of public utilities, as the only effective
means of taking away the main source
of power from the combinations. Let
the other parties quarrel over inef-
fective patchwork trust legislation;
the time will soon come when people
will realize the inefficiency of such
means and look for something that
will settle the question for once and
all. Let us be in readiness for that
time, and help bring it as soon as pos
sible. The believers in populism are
still alive; they are waiting for some
one to take the initiative and start the
movement anew.

HadIey and tho Mevrer.

"A correspondent to the Minneapol 9
Tribune quotes the statements of D n
Lamont and Jim Hill that the decision
OF the court in regard to the merger
case will not take the ownership of the
roads out of the hands of the same
men that organized the holding COM
pany, and then asks the following
questions:
In the light of these declarations bv
such authorities, and in their Ian
guage. "What's the difference?'' Is
it not q fact that ''the same men who
own and control Northern Securities
own and control Northern Pacific, c.
B. & Q. and Great Northern?"
Wou i'd the n0n-existence of the North
ern Securities give them less control?
Is not the recent decision in effect
that the same men cannot control
these roads in name, but can in deed?
Was not the last state campaign real
ly fuss and feathers under whose
cloud the ''mergers" merged all right,
and while the people now hug the
shadow of victory the former had log
before walked off with the substance?
When parallel roads are "owned and
controlled by the same men, is not
competition that instant paralyzed;
and what is the result? I am in
teachable frame of mind, and if I am
wrong, please set me right.
DAVE HADLEY.
The Minneapolis Tribune answers
the questions as follows:
That is what the Tribune has heeu
asking itself, from the very beginuin
OF this merger fuss. We never have
been able to understand what it was
going to accomplish, besides making
votes for politicians. Destruction OF
the holding company would not
change the ownership of shares. You
can neither punish man for buying
and holding stock nor deny him the
rights of an owner. The only advan-
tage of the holding company to the
persons In control of both roads, was
that it made it more difficult for out
siders to buy control away from them
in the open market. They will proba-
bly, have to lock up more capital to
protect their control after the stocks
are separated and returned to them as
individual owners. There may be
some small gain for the principle of
competition in this.
There seems to be no escaping from
that conclusion. AS long as the
stocks of two railroads are owned BY
the same men there will he no compe-
titlon, no matter whether there is an
open merger or a secret understand
ing. Restrictive legislation cannot
protect the people against these com.
bines. The only way to make the rail-
roads servants of the people is by
making the people through their gov
eminent the owners of the roads.

Why Hogs arc High.

A stock reporter has submitted the
following reasons for the present high
price OF hogs: Hog statistics for the
packing season Of 1923, beginning
October l and ending February %,
are both interesting and suggestive.
The figures given herewith are from
the Chicago Live Stock World. Re-
ceipts of hogs in Chicago were 644 OIL
less than two years ago. In Kansas
City the months OF November to Feb
ruary, inclusive, was $50, 700 head, q
total in those two markets alone of
1,213,77l head. In other western mar
kets the relative decrease was quite as
large, aud doubtless it was in all other
markets OF the country, constituting a
total shrinkage great enough to &C
count for the satisfactory prices hogs
have sold for during the winter. An
other significant factor in the situation
is the extremely light receipts, rela-
lively, during February, the lightest
with one exception for several years,
the exception being In 1880, when only
five or six thousand less were received
than during the same month this year.
This refers to the combined receipts of
the five principal markets in the West
A large falling off in February re-
ceipts in face of the high prices that
obtained during the whole month is
reasonable evidence at least that
stocks in the country are we'll reduced,
and this in turn, gives gratifying as
surance that the new crop of hogs can
not we'll be large enough to make good
the present shortage and at the same
time so stock the market that low
prices will result. The hog outlook,
in short, is bright, and will doubtless
make those who sold their brood sows
during the winter wish they hadn't.
