STATE OF WAR.
Judge Gr0Sscup's View of Labor
and Capital
Delivered at a Meeting of ILL.,
nois Judges.
SLEEP ON THEIR ARMS.
Indemnity for Loss Is Levied on
the Public.
Repopulizing of Our Industries
Is Demanded.
SLEEP ON THEIR ARMS.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-The princi-
pal speaker at the annual meeting of
the Illinois County and Probate Judges
association today was Judge Peter S.
Grosscup of the circuit court at Chi
cago. His subject was 1.-The next great
step in American politics, the repopu-
lizing of our country's industries"
After expressing his confidence in the
continuance of prosperity, and his
frlendliness to honest corporations as
"Civilization's way of yielding large
masses of capital" and his friendIiness
to law-abiding labor unions, as the
embodiment in organization of the
natural law of preservation; the
speaker sketched the present conditions
ana complaints of employers, employe,
and the general public; and upon the
relations of employers and employees,
said:
1T has come to pass that instead of
them is that of war. They look upon
each other, not as neighbors or CO.
partners, but as belligerents. When they
sleep, it is upon their arms"
Turning to the relations of the pub
lie at large to this situation and it's
consequences, the judge proceeded:
In wars between nations, the victor
lays indemnity for his losses upon the
vanquished. But in wars between en-
ployer and employee the losses fall
When a truce comes and indemnity is
laid it falls, not on the belligerents, but
on the outside public-the great neu-
trail war, up to that time, supposed it
had only a moral interest in the con-
flict.
The employer deals in this way, not
with men, but with republics of men;
not with individuals, but with govern
ments, self-cOnstituted governments in
side the greater government called the
state. Employment of labor is no long
er a matter of bargain and contract; it
is a matter for treaty, for diplomacy,
or for war;
The speaker then addressed himself
to the causes of present conditions. Our
early industrial life, when everything
was made at home, and when men of
all occupations commingled as neigh
bors, was described, then the growth
of the factory system, of corporations,
and of labor unions; after which, the
feeling of separation and estrangement
that such conditions naturally produced
between the several interests was
brought out.
I'VE have a common system of edu-
cation, said the Judge, but our chill
dren no longer sit in the same schools.
We have a common religion, but we
worship in separate buildings. We have

Two Dozen Heavy Women Needed to
Fill Wide Stage Costumes.

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-Stout women are
scarce in Pittsburg. That's the conclu-
sion arrived at by Thomas Daveney,
property man at the Grand opera house
He wanted twenty-five buxom women

that they were stout women, and as the
present production is the one used by
Miss Davenport, the costumes are built
for that style of women

heavy weights. But twenty-fivei Isn't

ALFALFA LAND VALUES.

Charles McBee Raised 1D1 Tons Worth
$1,000, From 10 Acres.
Charles McBee, who recently sold one
Of the best Alfalfa farms on Butter creek
meadows, to move nearer Pendleton, re-
lated story of irrigation to the East
Oregonian recently, which is worth re-
peating.
Mr.. McBee set aside Is acre tract
Of excellent alfalfa land, and stacked the
hay cut from this track separately to see
exactly what it would yield. He irri-
gated the land just as he did the re-
mainder of his crop, gave it no especial
attention, except to keep the crop separ-
ate.
He cut three crops from the parcel OF
land and measured the stacks on Sept
], and had 151 tons Of hay from this
tract of Is acres, or fraction over 10
tons per acre, which was worth in the
stack, the sum of 81 per ton. Thus the
income from this 15-acre tract for ono
year was $1050, or about $3.50 net, the
stacking costing about 80c per ton, or
Sl2O.
This is not an extraordinary yield for
Butter creek meadows, there being
hundreds of acres that are equal to this
special tract.

BANK STATEMENT
FINE SHOWING MADE BY THE
FIRST NATIONAL.
The Pulse of the Channels of Com
merce Is Felt in Volume of
Bank Business.

The Press takes pleasure in calling
the readers attention to the statement
on fourth page Of today's paper, of the
First National Bank Of Athena, given on
call of the comptroller Of currency, at
the close of business on September 6.
The bank makes an exceptionally fine
showing. In fact it gives in healthy
figures the largest volume of business
ever before given in statement issued
from the Athena bank. The total,
1916, 1898, would look well coming
from bank in town four times the
size of Athena. On the day the state
ment was made the loans and discounts
amounted to $l26, ,932.25, the deposits
1896, 1855, and the surplus and undi-
vided profits $10,S04.39.
Cash on hand and equipments amount
ed to $3.50, 9,737.66. The circulation of
the bank is $12, 800 and the bank build
ing, fixtures, etc., is valued at 81, $3.50.
The business of any community is re-
fiected in the amount of business tran
sacted by, and the condition OF its bank
ing institutions, for the reason that tn
pulse of the channels Of commerce
trade vibrate in proportion to Il
amount of banking business. Thu
Athena, size considered, is one of the
leading trade centers of the Inland EN-
pire goes without saying, and that her
bank is in dourishing condition is at
tested by the foregoing figures.

hours, but was refused on the ground
that the captain Of the Lena reports his
vessel unseaworthy, and that inspectors
have not yet reported on the claim that
the vessel is unfit.
The opinion is expressed ia official
quarters that the Russian vessel will not
be allowed to leave San Francisco har-
bor to prey upon American commerce,
even though carried in Japanese bottoms.
The impression prevails that the Lena
will be tied up in San Francisco until
the end of the war. The crew may be
kept on board unless the Japanese offer
objections. Meanwhile the officials are
seeking to ascertain the condition of the
vessel, whether she is really unseaworthy
and entitled to rems:c. for repairs.

VACATION DAYS END
ATHENA PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN
ED YESTERDAY.
The Usual Rush for Books Took Place
Permanent School Exhibit
May Be Made.

The happy days of vacation for anoth-
er year are at an end. Yesterday smorn-
ing the familiar tones of the old school,
bell called the pupils of the Athena
public schools to enter upon another
years school work. The work of trans
ferring the pupils into the different
grades was completed Yesterday and
this morning the different departments
entered into thegs school Iwork proper.
Yesterday the book stores we're over
flowing with school children, each of
whom carried slip of note. paper on
which was written the list of new text
books desired for the term. !.
The present seasons work will be
conducted with zest on the part of the
scholars for learning, and from the fact
that the district employs a~most capable
and efficient corps of instructors, it is
safe to predict that the success of the
Athena school will be greater than ever.
An additional feature that would un-.
doubtedly prove of great interest to both
patrons and pupils of the schools has
been suggested by some of the teachers.
1t is proposed that an exhibit of map
drawing and other work of the different
departments be on display at the school
house at all times, so that visitors and
parents may see and become acquainted
with the excellence Of this character of
work. The PRESS hopes that the ex-
hibit will be made, feeling that it would
serve as an incentive for more interest
being taken by allconcerned.
