CAP AND GOWN.
IHamnton Recorder.

A Very sensible innovation in the
commencement exercises of the high
school last week. was the appearance OF
the entire class in uniform, caps and
gowns.
One of the Objectionable features of
our commencement occasions in the
past. has been the tendency among
our girl graduates to dress up" for the
occasion and make it a time to dis
play elaborate toilets. In some cases
these parents having daughters in the
graduating class have spent money
so lavishly in clothes that the poor pu
pills have been completely eclipsed and
thrown into the shade, and unpleasant
feelings have been aroused thereby
In the cap and gown plan. all this is
obviated and wealth and social stand
ing makes no perceptible difference.
The caps and gowns used yesterday
evening were rented, but we commend
the plan to our school board and sug-
gest that before the next commence
ment they provide a supply of these
articles and insist upon their use IN
all future commandments.

BILLINGS STRUCK WATER.
Latimer Star.

This may sound queer to our read
ers who are aware of the fact that
Chris billings was drilling a we'll in the
large pond in the road near Fred Men
sings farm, where II might seem that
striking water" would be a small job
and it rs not very large job either as
ii only took Fred Madsen only nine
days to strike the required opening in
the ground. and now the pond has al
most entirely disappeared thru the we'll
1t is impossible to tell here what the
we'll is doing as II must be seen to be
believed. Anyone not seeing how rap
idly the water is running into the we'll
perhaps will doubt the fact that 1t has
almost entirely drained out body OF
water that a week ago covered about
fifteen acres of ground and in some
places was about five feet deep, but
such is the actual fact When the
township trustees and Mr.. 1bling en-
tered into their contract for the drill
ing of well to drain this pond, nei-
Their one of them or anyone else had the
least hopes of such splendid success in
the undertaking. The township had a
long time been figuring on thing this
pond, but as no outlet could be had al
less than at cost of $500 or 500 the
thing was not done and by sinking the
well at a cost of only SITS they secured
the best kind of an outlet and saving
over $500 in the cost.

EARLY CLOSING Is HURTFUL.
Hampton Globe

Hampton is trying the experiment of
early closing. but there is much dis
satisfaction with the arrangement.
This is the busy season Of the year.
and frequently it is necessary for the
farmer and mechanic to do his trading
and procure the necessary articles to
ply his vocation after the days work is
done. Under the present arrangement
of early closing he is deprived of this
convience and privilege and Is very
much put out about it. and unless there
is return to old methods the business
OF the town must suffer. The mall
order houses already enjoy by far too
lucrative a business at the expense OF
the country merchant, and early clos
ing is just the thing to bring more
dollars to them. No action the country
merchant could do suits the mail order
man better than the early closing of
the home dealer 1t puts him on equal
footing in the matter of convenience
of trade and will be trade builder for
him and of serious consequence to the
home merchant If presented in and
trade thereby directed into other chan
nels.
Tuesday evening a number of the
men who are engaged on the grading
work on the Great Western east of
town came in to get supplies and work
done. Fortunately the harness shops
were open and they were accommo-
dated in this line as to repairs. In ar
ticles they desired TO purchase they
could not find the store or stores { .

sought and an order Sc II to Clarion.

TO continue business methods. it occurs
to us, is a question that should COM
mand the serious attention of the To-
local merchants.

THE WALKING DELEGATE.

George p. Sullivan, niaYor of Derby,
ard file of organized labor He was for
years president of the ,abor organiza-
tons of his town and elected mayor of
Derby by union labor as lis representa-
tive Mr. Sullivan has been thinking
and has given his conclusions to the
interviewer. Coming as they do from a
trades unionist of Mr.. Sullivan's high
representative standing the sentiments
expressed will attract attention and
evoke comment Mr.. Sullivan asserts
that
1.-The best thing labor unions can do
is to abolish the walking delegate. He
is more or less of CRATER and by the
plain workingman he is rot wanted. |
believe his days are numbered. The
walking delegates have run the unions
more in the interest of themselves than
that of the members. Power concern
the many, and such exclusion is I'M
American and contrary 20 the original
trades union principles. The unions can
not afford TO pay big salaries TO any
one They need all the money they can
raise for their treasures. In time of
strikes they then have it for strike ben
efits and it is not all in the packets of
out of town officials. Committees from
the locals should deal with individual
strikes or grievances. These should
either serve without pay for the good
OF the cause. or receive only the same
wages that they are able to earn at
their trades.
THE so-called recognition of the
union amounts to nothing. In my opin
ion it is chiefly for the benefit of the
walking delegate. He uses ii as lever
TO widen the breach between capital
and labor, foment trouble and incident
ally hold his job. When the employe
asks union wages and hours and the
employer grants them that is recogni
ton enough. II is not necessary that a
clause be inserted in the labor contract
calling specifically for recognition OF
the union. Wages and hours constit-
tute the fullest extent % which in JUS
tice 1t can be pressed. The cry of rec
ognition' is simply the tool of the walk
ing delegate with which 10 ply his call

The union labor mayor talks sense.
There is nothing new i'll his recon-
niendatIons except that they come from
one high in the councils Of union labor.
The walking delegate and graft have
long been indssolubly associated in the
mind of the public, which has wondered
OF the Brahminical fanaticism that has
urged organized labor the dragging
OF his car over its best interests. Re-
cent developments have shown beyond
cavil the danger to labor interests con-
tingent upon the tyranny of the walk
ing delegate, whose monopoly OF pow
er may become as dangerous 10 the
public as the trusts monopoly of ma
terial. Walking delegates are openly
accused of blackmail ard of selling to
manufacturers. to their individual
profit, the powers vested in them by
the organizations they represent. Trou-
Bile is the legitimate business of the
walking delegate. His harvest comes
with disturbance. His intervention is
the signal for implacabiiity on the part

>L0oKER-oN in IOWA

Ackley, June 22.-Some of the trav-
cling men Of Iowa are seriously consid-
ering bringing a test case to find out
what rights dog has under our Iowa
laws. In order that the case can be
plainly understood, it is necessary to
claim first that certain men are obliged
to travel TO earn food ana clothing for
themselves and families; secondly,
they are obliged to sleep at stated in
tervals, and thirdly they must perforce
sleep in hotels While rot absolutely
necessary as a rule. hoee windows are
open at this season Of the year Now
liz so happens that in al adjoining ten
feet from the hotel (unmcntioned) there
lives dog. 1t can be assumed this dog
has tleas. In consequence thereof this
dog has formed habit ct lying on his
back on the sidewalk Cose to where
travelling men try to sleep. and by a
lwriggling motion only acquired by years
Of practice proceeds 20 scratch his
back. This is very vrgar habit and
.ogs of high degree do rot indulge in
it, at least in public. But worse than
all is another habit this cur has formed.
and that is to growl ana bark in a loud
tone. this expressing his enjoyment of
this low and degenerate exercise. AS
his lively friends who live off of him are
evidently numerous, this aforesaid cur
scratches his back in the aforesaid
manner mentioned at least every half
hour the live-long night, exclaiming at
the same time and at The top of his
voice his delight in thus disturbing his
bodily enemies The landlord says he
can not kill a dog, especially good
lreighbor's for a little thing like that.
Meanwhile the travelling men can not
sleep, so all this is here given In hopes
lit will bring out d Legal opinion from
some source clearly putting forth what
rights a dog has in lowe.
