IS AN OPEN FIGHT THIS YEAR

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 16.-Pursuant
to the call of Chairman Oliver w.
Stewart the members of the Prohibl-
ton National committee went into ses-
sion at the Auditorium hotel this
morning for the purpose of deciding
upon the date and place for holding
the party's national convention next
year The national convention of the
prohibtionists always draws a large
crowd and as a consequence the con-
venton is sought by many cities. 1t
is an open fight this year with more
than half a dozen cities among the con-
teStantS. Chicago, of course, is re-
garded as a strong competitor, and ST.
Louis is another city that is fire.
quently mentioned as a likely meeting
place for the prohibitiOnists. There
appears, however. to be a strong sem
timent among the committeeman in
favor of holding the convention in
some smaller city. The supporters of
this idea urge that if the prohibition
lists meet in the same city as either the
republicans or democrats they will be
obliged to take second place and will
not receive as much attention as they
would if the convention were held else
where. There are a number of smaller
and Well located cities bidding for the
convention and if the sentiment against
Chicago and st. Louis prevails a fine
field for the choice of a suitable meet
ing place still remains. Among the
cities mentioned, and all of which have
delegations on hand urging their
claims, are Indianapolis, Columbus,
Detroit. Kansas City and Minneapolis.
Baltimore and Buffalo also are in the
race, but some of the committee oppose
their claims on the grounds that the
selection of city more centrally To-
Gated would be more to the interests
of the party.
Talks with leading prohibitionists in
attendance on the meeting indicate
that the party intends to put I'D a
strong race in the next presidential
campaign. The late election showed
losses for the party in several of their
former strongholds. but it is claimed

"WAGE SYSTEM WILL PASS"

tiers the Statement

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10
The wage system will pass away. In
it's stead. l believe, there will come a
system which will be composed Of the
profit sharing and the cooperation
ideas. The great labor question means
the struggle Of humanity for higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employee, as we'll as the
stakeholder as an investor"
These words were contained in an
address upon The Wage Question"

Those persons who appreciate good
music should not fail to procure tick
cts early for the concert to be given
by the Odd Fellows on Tuesday eve
ming, December %, at the Walla WalIa
opera house. The Cosgrove Concert
Orchestra company which will appear
on that date. is receiving favorable
mention wherever they perform. F..
3. Heiberg, director of the Montevedia
Union band, of Minnesota, says of this
musical organization:
1T affords me great pleasure to
recommend the COsgrove Concert COM
pany as first class Organizatio and
1t deserves the patronage of the public
to the full capacity of the opera
houses Wherever they may appear
Their concert here last evening was
the best ever given in Minnesota. The
concert was pleasant surprise from
the opening to the closing number"
At the dance in the Odd Fellows
temple on the same evening seven
pieces of the COsgrOve company will
furnish the music, and those who at
tend the dance will be assured fine
music.

The berg was several miles from the

through the glass the huge animals
could be seen swinging their heads to

How the bears got on the berg and

labor against incapacity resulting
from accident, illness or advancing
age. The German idea was quoted
under which the employer pays one
fourth the cost of a sick and death
benefit policy, the employee one-fourth
and the government One-half.
England" said Col. Wright, has
taken up this question and we of the
United States are steadily approaching
it.
Capital charges to the consumer
the depreciation of property and ma
chinery. Why should not the deprec1a-
ton of labor's machinery, it's hands,
it's brains, it's body, be included in the
final cost?
Labor's Power.
We see in every progressive COM
munity that the demand of the work
ingman is no longer for a wage Suffi-
cient to enable him to keep body and
soul together. Labor has been taught
to feel that it is a social as we'll as
an economic power in the community
and this educating process has gone
on until the demand of labor is for a
reasonable margin beyond that fixed
by the iron law of wages.
The wage system will pass away.
It is, as has been shown, unsatisfactory
in many Of its applications. 1t de-
ponds too largely for it's equities upon
the generosity and eat-mindedness
of employers. That there are many
who would be able to influenced the
votes or action of their employees, and
who would be incapable of taking pet
ty or great advantages Of their work
men is happily true. That there are
others, however, who make use of
these opportunities, proves the weak
ness of the system and argues for
greater measure of independence for
those who labor.
The system that will take the
place of that under which mere wages
are paid probably will be composed of
the profit sharing and cooperation
plans. The workpeople will then ac-
quire the interest of investors and the
more capable will rise to their OPP
pOrtunities and the less worthy Will
find their level"

big farce comedy, Looking for a
Wife" This play promises to be one
of the comedy treats of the season.
The date for it's production here is
December II. The company is one of
the largest of it's class travelling and
it is also said to be the best thing in
the comedy line seen on the stage in
years. The cast includes some of the
best comedians in the business and
the chorus of twenty girls are as cIev-

A party of As Germans, mostly
farmers, but including some land
owners and students of agriculture,
will make tour of the United States
during May and June. They are com
ing to learn what they can of Ameri-
can agricultural methods, for the
benefit of German agriculture. They
will arrive in New York on April 30.
and win proceed at once to Washing
ton, where they will place themselves
in touch with the national depart.
ment of agriculture. Secretary Will
son has already designated as their
guide during their tour. one OF the
most efficient officials of the depart
ment. Under his guidance the party
will journey westward through the
great agricultural states of the
Union. including California. Expert
ment stations and great stock and
grain farms are to be visited. as well
as the great packing establishments
OF Chicago. Kansas City and Omaha.
After visiting Washington and Ore.
gon, the party will return through
the more northern part Of the United

scheduled to sail for home on June
30. They have evidently determined
on accomplishing a great task in 4

Farmers, Test Your Seed Corn.
"Will your seed corn grown" This
question every farmer should be able
to answer for himself before the corn
planting season arrives. The question
Is very imperative this year, because
there is every indication that great
deal of the cribbed corn Of last years
crop. which furnishes the greater part
oil the seed corn planted, will not ger
inmate this spring. The conditions
during the past winter have been very
unfavorable for the maintenance Of
vitality of seed corn; the late matur-
ity, the sappy condition at husking
time, with consequent increased mois-
ture in the cribbed corn, has made 1t
more susceptible to the past winters
freezing and the result is very large
per cent of corn low in vitality. Corn
husked early and stored carefully
where 1t became thoroughly dry be-
fore cold weather, is not damaged and
will terminate vigorously, from the re-
suits of number Of careful tests
made In our terminating laboratories.
On the other hand, samples taken
from covered cribs this spring have
given very low per cents of vitality. In
some cases only the root part Of the
germ was killed; in others the root
terminated while the stalk was dead
and in the majority of cases the kerr
nels sent forth very slow-growing
weak sprouts. Frequently 1t has been
found that the kernels on one side OF
an ear would grow while on the other
side they would not. II is very neces-
sary therefore, for the farmers who
are depending upon their cribbed corn
for seed, to make sure that their seed
when planted will sprout at least 90
times out of 100 In a very vigorous
manner. To make test of the germin
ating power of your corn, take kernels
from near the butt and tip. and middle
OF the ear from opposite sides as near
ly as possible. These kernels should
be taken from at least SO ears, so the
composite sample will be fair one Of
all the corn saved for seed. These
kernels may then be sprouted by
piohthS lheui III u ldi5c uiuuSE pIdlG
filed with moist sand, planting the
kernels tip downwards and covering
the sand with smaller inverted plate
This germinator should then be placed
In, a warm room and kept moist At
the end of three or four days, the ker-
nels should have sprouted enough to
make the counts Of those terminated
and thus to determine the per cent Of
vitality. Another very simple way to
test seed for vitality is to wrap the
k.rnels in moist newspaper and
place in cigar-box or some closed re.
ceptacle that does not exclude all the
air, and set In warm room. Then
IL 95 per cent of the kernels sprout
quickly and vigorously the corn is
safe to plant. otherwise the stand of
corn planted from such seed will be
poor and uneven. Now is the time to
test ~our seed corn, as planting time
is nt.rly here.-Dwight S. Dalbey, iii
