Camping out is admittedly one Of the
most delightful phases of summer life.
Business men look forward with unbound
ed pleasure to the two weeks or more
when they are free to lead a semi-hermit
existence far from the madding crowd,
and for the time being throw aside the
bonds of conventionality which modern
civilization imposes. At the present mo-
ment, however a hundred or so of Uncle
Sans soldier boys are blind to the poeti-
cal side of camp life. To them this mode
of living has lost all it's fascination.
The thermometer lowering around zero,
cold. biting winds snow and frost, these
are the things that rob a 1907 gov
eminent duck habitation of all the joys
that the layman sees in the life in balmy
summer time. But duty is duty and de-
partment orders are law, with the result
that the members of the Thirtieth bat
terry of field artillery, U. S. A., have been
in the open at Fort Smelling on account
of their quarters not yet being complet-
ed.
A representative of T h G o b e visit
ed the fort yesterday, and was given the
freedom of the camp. The opportunity to
get a comprehensive idea of the unusual
experience of this handful of soldiers was
awaited Of and T h e Clio b e is able to
publish two or three pictures which tell
their own story.
Were it possible to drop into the in

that the hardships of winter camping are
not so great as might be imagined; but

plenty of ventilation, say the soldiers.
Board Is Worth Than the Lodging
Disagreeable though the sleeping
accommoda tons may be, the provi-
sion for feeding the men is inccmparably
worse. The mess and cook tents are sit
uated a considerable distance away from
the camp proper. The outside appear
ance of the grub quarters is shown In
the illustration, but the cut only tells half
the story. 1t was learned that no provi-
sion whatever had been made for furnish
ing heat until yesterday. This has rem
dered it practically impossible for the
men to eat their meals with any degree of
comfort AS matter of fact. eating
under these conditions has been abandon
ed by most of them. Many of the dis
comforts of the situation have been over

cold the blankets get loose and this is
just about as good as an alarm clock"
To the question as to whether the men
undressed every night it was learned that
most of them did because this was really
the warmer way to sleep. This sounds
like an Irishman'S argument, but be that
as it may, it seems to be the general i'm
preston that three blankets is none too
liberal an allowance under existing condi-
lions.
To all intents and purposes the tents
are buckled up as tight as a drum or,
more correctly speaking, as tightly as it
is possible to close up canvas abode.
Entrance is effected by crawling on the
hands and knees through a small portion
at the front of the tent which is allowed
to hang loose for the purpose. This may
seem rather undignified way to get in,
but it's all in lifetime, at least so the
occupants hope. In order to gain COM

tents known as the STANDARD army field
These comparatively fiimsy shelters are
only pegged to the ground in the ordi-
nary way. In the belief and hope that
the regular quarters would reach a state
of completion any day, no special provis
ion has been made to protect them from
the severity of the winter. Exception to
this, however, Is found in the small Spbley
stove which stands in the center of each
tent. These stoves are about two feet
high and In shape somewhat resemble
funnel, the larger end resting on the
ground, while the upper part tapers off
peak at the center of the tent to carry
away the smoke. Wood is the fuel used,
and although the heat furnished is fair
ly adequate during the day time, when
the weather is less severe, it counts. for
little with the thermometer pendulating
between 10 above and ten below zero dur

David NJ. Parry, Of indianapolis,
president Of the National Association
Of Manufacturers and Of the recently
organized Citizens Industrial assoc1a-
ton, addressed a large audience or
business men, manufacturers and
prominent citizens of the city, including
a number of labor leaders, last evening
at Mozart hail. He spoke on the
Labor Problem"
The meeting was held under the au-
spices of the Northwestern Manufac-
turers' association and other CONNER
cial organizations of the city, including
the local branch of the Citizens IN
dustrial association.
Allen K. Pruden, president Of the
Northwestern Manufacturers associa-
ton, presided and introduced Mr.. Par
ry in a short address in which he called
attention to the urgent need of careful
study of. the labor question by every
business man.
Mr. Parry, who first sprang into pub
lie notice during the meeting of the
National Manufacturers association at
New Orleans some months ago, when
he delivered his first public address
giving his labor ideas, arrived in st.
apolis, where he was the guest of the
Citizens Alliance. He was the guest
at luncheon at the Minnesota club at
a 6 o'clock luncheon, and with Homer
P. Clark spent the afternoon in con-
ference with prominent local manufac-
turerS.
Mr.. Parry's address last evening was
delivered from manuscript, as stated
to the audience that he had been mis-
quoted so many times that he desired
to guard against all such errors in the
future. He said In part:
There is one question in this country
besides which all others pale into insigniff-
canoe. That question is whether the laws
guaranteeing free competitive conditions
in industry. shall be respected and en-
forced This is the question which 1 de-
sire to discuss tonight as a business man
and from a business standpoint
cling to the old saying that competi-
ton is the life of trade. do not believe
that any labor trust should be allowed to
piifer the earnings of other labor by
means Of arbitrary wage scales enforced
through system Of mob tyranny, nor do
should be permitted to shut off competi-
ton by methods which are in restraint OF
trade.
In accordance with the constitution of
the United States every man Is entitled
! to dispose of his labor or to invest his
savings in whatever lawful manner may
seem most proper to himself, and he
should not be intimidated, physically as
saulted, financially ruined or otherwise
punished because of his following the
bent of his desires. The constitution Of
the United States should be respected
and enforced and it is up to the business
man more than any one else to see that
it is respected and enforced.
I say it is up to the business man to
maintain competitive conditions. Every
citizen should have a deep regard for
the welfare of his country. but the bust
ness man has greater personal interests
or nothing to lose. They should not seek
to shirk what is their plain duty. and
they cannot shirk it without inviting ma
tional disaster. 1t is largely due to the

an influence over public thought and gov

These organizations have sprung into
existence for the purpose OF serving per-
themselves so powerful that they can
override the rights of others. with i'm

cipal props of our government, and are
directly responsible for the hold on pub

ownership of the means of production
sound a warning to be needed? Thou
sands, yes millions, of men are banded
together under the leadership of the new
prophets of industrial democracy-the
Mad Mullahs. they might be termed, of
twentieth century fnduStrialiSm, and by
speech, pen and printed literature the so
cialistic propaganda is going forward all
over the land. while scarcely an effort is
being made to counterfeit it's influence.
This is not the time to linger under the
belief that what ought to be will be
without your assistance. 1t Is not wise
to give way to a sense of fancied secur-
Employers Generally Approve Project.
The National Association of Manufac-
turers has during the last year made all
the efforts within it's power to stem the
demand for state and class interference

sprung into existence for the furthering Of
the same end. The Manufacturers asso-
citation represents more specifically the
manufacturers Of the country, and the

HAS PLENTY MONEY
School Board Reioices Over
Financial Condition.

"Our board has enough money in It's
treasury after the payment of all de-
felt from last year to pay all bills for
the remainder of this year. and even the
salaries for December" said President
Holman, of the school board, with an air
of evident pride to his fellow members
at the meeting of yesterday afternoon.
This showing" said he, must indicate
wise management and effective economy,
for we had quite a deficit of the former
year to make up, and 1 congratulate you,
gentlemen, that we can start on the next
year with a clean slate" The members
expressed themselves as well pleased with
the appropriation of $715,O00 as fixed by
the conference committee for next year.
The statement of Mr.. Holman was
promptly turned to account by A. j.
Wampler, who had been sitting in the
meeting, and almost Immediately after
Mr.. Holman finished his remarks came
before the board to urge the purchase Of
a fire extinguisher which he represents
for use in the schools. The matter was
referred to the real estate committee to
report at next meeting.

Grafton"
Such is the opening declaration of a
resolution in which the city board Of
school inspectors defined its policy.
The resolution of yesterday came
from the committee on schools, and
was as follows:
Resolved, That in making promotions
and appointments of principals, those
in line of promotion shall receive first
consideration. Principals in charge
of small buildings VINO have shown
eminent fitness, should have prefer
ence over those who have never been
in charge of buildings as principals;
and promotions should be made from
the grades to fill the less responsible
positions and such as place the teach
er in line of promotion
However well prepared an applicant
may appear to be, until the test of ex-
perience has been applied. it is quite
impossible to judge with certainty of
her administrative ability, although
she may be a capable instructor.
It does not follow that the board
should concede the right of promotion
to applicants simply because they are
in line; but rather that promotions
shall be step by step, as the teacher or
principal clearly demonstrates her fit
ness for greater responsibilities.

or mistake on the part of the officials at
Washington The Thirtieth battery was
organized at Walla Walla, WASH, a lit
tie over two years ago, and until recent
ly had been stationed at that point. About
three weeks ago the battery received or
derS from the war department to pro-
coed to Fort Smelling. and 1t was under
stood that the quarters here were to be
completed before the change was made
Another department order instructed
that the move be made at once, the con-
sequence being that the men arrived at
Fort Smelling to find the buildings in an
unfinished state The battery reached
here on the 9Th of the present month, and
since that time has been obliged to pass
through the experience of camping in the
open in winter temperature. Fate has
been more kind to the officers, who have
been received with open arms and open
houses by their confreres already station
ed at this post.

The grocers spared no pains to make the
evening a pleasant one for their guests,
and they succeeded admirably. The dance
music was good. An elaborate spread was
served during the evening in the dining

The grand march formed at $50 o'clock
and was led by President and Mrs. S. @.
