that both sides gave concessions and a
disastrous strike was averted. A court
of arbitration would haveaccomplished
the same results without adding any
great measure of anxiety to the burden
of business interests.
In advocating arbitration, 1 mean
legal arbitration and the enactment of
such laws as will make arbitration
compulsory and the DEGREES of the ar
bitration tribunal final.
New Zealand has compulsory arbitra-
tion laws that are said. to be very
effective; but whether Americans
could be governed by laws that are
effective in country under paternal
form of government is a matter of
some conjecture. We have constitu-
tion in these United States that
thwarts any scheme aimed at personal
liberty, and compulsory arbitration
would probably be decreed unconstitu-
tional by the United States Supreme
Court; but the thing could be done by
amending the constitution. The new
department of commerce would be the
proper head under which to control a
legalized method of arbitration.
Let us see what other governments
have done recently to prevent strikes.
Holland went to the extreme and fixed
a penalty upon strikers. 1t is felony
in Holland for railroad employee to
strike, and as all railroads are owned
by the government, it makes the strikers
guilty of treason. Think of this, you
who advocate government ownership
of railroads! Switzerland settled
a strike in an original and
very effective manner. The COM
pany was notified by the Swiss
government that it must keep its
line running despite the strike; this the
company could not do. Then the
government announced that the COM
pany had violated the terms of its
charter and confiscated the railroad.
The government paid the company
fair price for their road and has oper-
ated it ever since.
1t has been argued against compul-
sorry arbitration that politics would
prove its downfall. This argument is
weak and inconsistent with the clean
hands of our judicial tribunals. The
political parties are not all powerful
and their strength is greatly overrated.
Let us consider the fact that hod-
carrier could be elected president of
the United States by the vote of
organized labor. This statement is not
only true, but such a result could
be easily accomplished, for the strength
of organized labor is sufficient to
accomplish this seeming impossibility.
This proves that any injustice shown
to labor by court of arbitration could
be easily corrected. PENDENNIs.

II song ef sunlight.

Life and death, and the power of love, and the
strength of laughter;
Music of battle, and ships that sail away to
the west;
All that hath gone before and all that followeth
ALTERS
The mad, blind struggle for gold, and the rest
less seeking for rest
The brain reels round with them all, and weari-
ness is their name;
Come to the long, low moorland and hear, ere
the winter win it
Where the broom, like sunlit beacon, flashes
in golden fame
The music of wind and water, of the bee and
the mountain linnet.
Blue is the sky overhead and purple the heather
Far on the dim horizon the white sails CLEAN
in the haze.
One is the dream within and the song that is
ours within us,
The joy of the sun-steeped present, struck free
from the whirl of the days.
Hark how she sings in the fern passionless
song of content,
The wren now hanging moment where the
fox-glove's bells are shaken,
Now by the waters edge the ifis bowed as she
went,
Weaving her melody out of the sweets by the
way she has taken.
Sing little bird In the Willows low by the edge of
the river,
song that ripples and leaps as the waters
leap In spring.
The wind breathes low in the grass where the
threads of the gossamar quiver,
And all the sunlit moOrland is silent to hear
you sing.
Sing that life is glad. and fair are the land and
the sea,
The wonders of stars in the night, and the
nOontide's golden glory.
Ours is the joy of the present, we care not what
is to be,
pembered story.

ing worthless novels, and brooding
over his hard lot. Just a little farther
down the hall was night school main
tanned by the state free of charge to
the prison inmates, where he could
have obtained not only a thorough edu-
cation in those branches taught in our
grammar schools, but also first-class
bus iness education under competent
instructors. l excused my first charac-
ter on his plea of ignorance of the ex-
istence of gold mine on his farm, but
l can find no extenuating circumstances
in the case of my second. He is not
owning a gold mine unawares, but is
spurning one from him in utter con-
tempt and with a direct insult to the
state and its officials. And satisfying
himself with the sophistry that he is
exercising right he possesses, yet
"who sinned that this man was born
blind, himself or his parents ?"
1t may be out of place, as well as
somewhat peculiar, amid our multitude
of rules, for an inmate to suggest the
fact that we need more rules. Yet l
would like to see it most stringent
rule that every prisoner, without ex-
ception, should be required to attend
night school his eltire term, or until
he could pass strict examination in
every branch taught therein. And the
rules governing ths strict appliance of
his time to school work and maintain.
ing good scholarship should be ap-
plicable to all, as is now the case OF re-
formatory prisoners. And, as the cir
cumstances demanded, for the state to
establish higher classes. I believe ia
liberty and freedom, yet there are times
in every mans life when he is blind to
his own interests. And at such times,
when there can be no question as to
his proper course, and under such re-
lations as exists between the state and
a prisoner, if the prisoner is too blind
to act wisely for himself the state
should be his guardian and act for
him by command and compulsion.

In it's write-up of the recent
fire at Waubay, the Clipper of
that place says:
Meanwhile the fire fiend was not
idle on the east side of the street.
The restaurant building and F. D.
Lauson's store were destroyed and
the Herold meat market was on fire
when outside help arrived. This
building being sided with sheet steel
confined the flames to a considerable
extent, and the heroic efforts of the
Webster and Milbank boys saved the
remainder of the business portion, for
our boys were nearly exhausted by
their long and tedious battle with the
flames. The hose of the Milbank
company was too large to fit the fire
pump, but by wrapping oiled cloths
around the coupling an effective
service was secured. How the fire
originated is at this present writing
unknown, though there are several
rumors Of incendiarism afOat. We
cannot express too freely our
gratitude-the gratitude of the entire
town-for the noble and heroic efforts
put forth by the fire companies from
Webster and Milbank, and we feel
from the bottom of our hearts that
words are utterly inadequate to
signify our appreciation of their
assistance.

Hunting is being prohibited on
the premises of many individual
farmers in this locality, but over
in Day county there is a whole
township that has forbidden
hunting. The clerk Of Highland
township publishes a notice to
that effect in the Webster Re-

"All persons afield on any farm
with a gun in their possession
without such permission shall be
handled as rebels against this

to emphasize his declaration to

Forty years ago the negro had
not a foot of land nor a roof over
his head. Now there are 100, 600
farms owned by negroes valued
at $3.50, OOO, 900 and personal
property valued at $165, 600, 600.
So, starting from nothing, here
is an accumulation ofnearly$90O,-

It will be remembered with
what a fine display of oratory
fervor the recent national con
vention of Populists declared
against fusion with the Demo,
Gratis as heretofore. The
declarations were approved by
the populist leaders throughout
the country. Preaching and
practice are two different things,
however. In the Nebraska
populist convention on August
Goth the Denver proclamation of
independence was cut into small
pieces and thrown ia a rat hole
and a fusion agreement adopted
by which a popocratic ticket has
been selected for the Nebraska
campaign. There was not even
a debate on the proposition.

fusion undoubtedly assures Mr..
Bryan the control ofthe Nebraska
delegation in the next national

success of Thomasonian John

secure enough additional to
