The Chicago teamsters strike is
much like all such disturbances.
The employers hope by resistance
and demand upon the civil author
tiles to afford protection to the
strike breakers that they will beat
the union organization. The union
on the other hand hercely resents
the interference of non union men,
and rioting and violence is the ma
tural sequence. Selfish interests
dominate to "A large extent in such
strifes between labor and capital, ,
with less disposition on the part OF
the latter to make mutual conces-
sions in settling their disputes. 1t
will always remain Il mooted ques,
tion under the system now used IN
carrying on industrial effort what
the division of the proceeds Of
such effort between capital and la
Dor shall be. The latter sees itself
performing all tue elementeI part ol
the effort necessary for production

and also that the former is only
the directing medium of the energy
of labor. Labor under the pres
ent condition is generally expected
to be satisfied with jus, so much of
what it produces as is necessary to
provide for its subsistence without
impairing its force; capital takes
all it can. Labor submits to this i'm
position because it has never yet
learnt to direct its own efforts.
When it can do this. it will have
become emancipated and indepen-
dent. Strikes will then disappear
for want of cause. 1t is, of course
difficult to overcome tyranny es-
tablished by the custom of ages,
but until it is in this connection, and
as long as labor sees the employer
rolling up wealth into the millions
while labor has only a mere sub
sistence from its unremitting effort
there will be strikes and war be-
between capital and labor. The
solution of this problem will not
come from capital, because capital
is selfish. 1t must come from la
Dor by Intelligent self direction.

Waiting for Good Roads.
A Missouri paper remarks thai

A Missouri paper remarks that
rural free delivery during the next
fiscal year will cost $50, 900,
and it suggests that the money
would bring q far better return if
invested In good roads. If that
enterprising editor is waiting for
the government to abandon rural
delivery in behalf of mudhole road
in his nei eighborhood, he has poor
outlook. Rural delivery is estab-
lished only in localities where there
is life enough to keep the roads in
passaoIe condition.; SO the editor
referred to advises IL losing game
all round. In some of the coun-
tries of Europe there is house-to-
house delivery of the mail through
out their whole territory. The
United States can not Lope to ac-
complish that much at present, but
it has made a good beginning, and
there is not the slightest probabil-
ity that the movement will 90
backward.
In the states where good roads
are making comprehensive pro-
gress the money is supplied partly
by the state and partly by coun-
ties and townships. The general
government has not gone into the
construction of local roads. A
road law was passed at the recent
session of the Missouri legislature
by which farms benefited by roads
are to pay the cost of the improve
ment, with the payments spread
over twenty years, if desired, the
county issuing bonds secured by
the property interested. 4 pro-
posed improvement Of this kind is
first submitted to Il majority vote
of The land owners, who cast one
vote for each acre. The plan is
optional, and can not be classed
with the road Improvement in pro,
gress iu several states. where the
funds needed are directly furnish.

The 'ShamefuI Misuse of
Wealth. was the theme of Il writ
er in one of the popular magazines
recently, wherein he pointed ont
that New York's idle rich in their
social splarges at Newport paid
out vast sums in giving single
entertainment, spending as high as
$1,000 to $500 for flowers alone,
while the cost of the whole fete
may be anywhere from $4,000 to
$40, 900. Everything society"
does at New York and Newport
for its amusement, to drive away
the ennui of blase, trivial and use
less existence is done on the same
scale of careless disregard for cost.
Now the expenditure of money by
the rich would not be so much a
matter of disapprobation if the
rich had any part in creating or
earning the wealth they pour out so
excessively in dissipation and friv-
olity, but when we must regard
the wealthy class" solely as Il
parasite upon our social system,
there is abundant room for criti-
cism and structures. As contrast
portrayal to these exhibitions OF
protligacy by one class Of New
York's inhabitants, the press of
that city occasionally alludes to the
fact that thousands of the children
attending the public schools of
New York City are provided with
their breakfasts by the city or they
would have to 90 to school with
out any because OF the l,overty OF
their parents. Now the fathers
and mothers of these hungry and
iIl-nourished children are the Gre
ators and real earners of the wealth
of the idle rich" That one idle
person may pour forth money
without stint for his own comfort
and amusement thousands mus
yield up to him the substance O
their toll and energy, deprivins
themselves and their children o
the actual means of life, stuntins
intellect rnd parylizing life's vital
ity to empty into the laps of a favor
ed few the wealth they waste il
riotous living. And yet we ar
surprised at the protesting mnr
murs of the masses, ut the strikes
the growth of the socialist vote
etc. TO sympathetic mind thes
arc only an appeal for just shar
in the wealth cf the people;
righteous demand for the institu
ton of the square deal tor ever

the mails are being used for dis
honest purposes, an investigation
is started, and if developments
warrant it, fraud orders are issued
against the guilty person or per

The DEVELOPMENT Of gasoline and

The development of gasoline and
steam traction motors bids fair to
supplant the horse to a large ex-
tent in carrying on farming opera
tions. Such engines are already
being successfully employed on
some of the large western farms.
A traction motor hitched to gang
of plows will break thirty or forty
acres of ground per day and will
handle sowing and reaping ma
chimes with the same facility.
Only two men are required to oper-
ate such machines. 1t would re-
quire from twenty to thirty men
and an equal number of teams to
accomplish this by the old method.
1t is, therefore, easy to see where
the profit of utilizing such improv.
ed methods in agriculture come in.
