ABOR TICKET IN THE FIELD.

In a mass convention that evidenced
it's sincerity and ability to handle its
own affairs, the workingmen of Salt
Lake county have nominated ticket
of their own, independent of any die
tation and composed of men of stand
ing, ability and character. In their
action they have followed the lead of
and of the labor party in England, and
the outcome of their experiment will
be watched with great interest.
To the practical politician who cares
less for principle than he does for
success. the movement may seem fool
ish, because there seems little chance
for the election of the ticket. But as
an expression of convictions, an effort
to record their beliefs, the ticket ex-
presses something more than a mere
design on the offices and emoluments
of political action.
Just what effect the ticket will have
on the fortunes of the other parties
is not clear. The Americans had
hoped to secure the labor vote through
I.avery; the Republican appeal to the
workingman TO support them and the
policies Of the national administration
but will probably fail because of the
administrations attitude toward Ia
Dor. Democrats usually have a large
percentage of the labor vote and have
tried to deserve il. But in the uncer-
tain alignment of party followers this
fall the calculations of the politicians
are likely to be at sea and the indie
pendent ticket may command a sup
port that will make those calculations
still more problematic.

THAT $4,000 RoRaERY.

Il
The story of the robbery of the Me-
Winters by bunco men and the sub
sequent action of Chief of Police
Sheets calls for immediate and radical
investigation at the hands of the
states attorney. According TO the
sworn statement of the victims, they
were robbed of $4,000 in a. crooked
poker game and then robbed of an ad-
ditional $4,000 by a man impersonat-
ing an officer who went with him 20
knowledge and approval of the chief,
settled the crime by the return of
81, 000
Whatever the attending crcum-
stances, the sworn evidence so far adj
duced shows that the head of the po-
lice department of this city made no
effort to arrest the robbers; that ne
permitted a man who had impersOp-
ated an officer to come into and go out
of his Office as freely as if he were a
reputable citizen; that he, himself. re-
ceived and paid to McWhirter money
which was used in compromising a fell
ony.
1t would be manifestly unfair TO
PREJUDICE the case against Sheets be-
fore il goes into court. but on his own
statement he has put himself in a crit
bical position. If a visitor or a resident
can be robbed and his loss go unpun-
ished through the indifference of the
police In such case the city might
better be without a police department
If protection cannot be had when the
victim of such a crime appeals to the
chief of the department, then the law
is a farce, it's officers are incompetent
if not dishonest. and its people are
helpless.
In this case the principals of the
robbery are known and they should be
apprehended and brought back al any
cost. Still further, the county attor-
ney's office should examine the evil
dence. and if il sustains the affidavits
of the Mcwhirters the police officers
who knew the facts and failed to ACT
should be given an opportunity in court
to explain why they failed in then
duty, why they permitted the crooks
to escape and why the felony was
compounded and the witnesses encour-
aged to leave the city.
1t behooves the council, and the
mayor likewise, to take cognizance al
the situation in the police administra-
ton. The mayor appointed and the
council confirmed Sheets as chief; they
owe it to the public and TO the goo6
name of the city TO demand an ex-
PLANTATION, and if the evidence is con-
| frmed, to reorganize the whole depart
ment at once.

cally as long as village merchant
gave others credit, if we were a cash
paying farmer we would buy just as
little of that merchant as we could
There are few farmers that cannot
pay cash these days. What they can
not pay cash for they should not buy.
Running store bills is largely mat
ter of habit The credit system is
more of curse than a benefit. Nine
tenths of the credit given by stores is
unnecessary. The first object in giving
it is purely selfish one on the part
of the merchant-tO get one to buy
more than he otherfise would. The
mail order houses have at all evenrs
done one good thing reduced the
amount of credit buying and shown
thousands of farmers that they can
pay cash for what they really need.

The Chinese as Farm Laborers.

The following is an editorial from
the Rural New Yorker:
Would the free entrance of Chinese
as farm labOrers relieve the he'll, prob
lem? We sent the question at random
to number of responsible farmers in
various parts of the country. The
notes printed in this issue fairly re
present the opinions of others. 1t will
phObably surprise many readers to
know that the Chinese would be wei
coined i'm parts of the South. 1t is
safe to say that few American farm
ers would think of turning to China
for farm hands if they did not feel that
the situa ton is desperate. The cities
are we'll filled with idle men who are
willing 10 live, in part at least, upon
charity rather than work helpfully on
our farms A good share of foreign
labor seems to be gathering into groups
or masses, so that it is of far more
use to the large operators than to
farmers who employ but few hands.
AS the situation grows worse some of
these smaller farmers seem willing to
try almost any fair experiment that
will help them out. This is the chief
reason. we think. why there is a de
nlanI for Chinese farm laborers. 1t
may he stated here as perhaps a
strange proposition to some, that Il
number of people express the same
opinion as Mr.. Loop. There is no
very serious labor problem with them,
for much the same reason that there is
rarely a scarcity of help in a factory
town. In sections where fruit grow
ing is largely carried on farm labor
is attracted Men who like that sort
of work become skilled at it, and pre-
fer it to other kinds of work. 1t all
comes back TO the proposition that

skilled labor in on the smaller farms
where one or two men are needed.
Fig. 135. first page, from photograph
taken in California shows an intelli-
gent Chinese laborer, typical of many
who would come to this country if
they could. He is a well-built man,
able to pitch hay, hold the plOw and
do general farm work. We asked one of
the editors of the Chinese Reform
News. a newspaper published in this
city i'm the interest of progressive
China. whether. if freely admitted into
this country. the Chinese would be of
service as farm labOrers, except in
large gangs.
Il think they wOuld,'' he replied,
las a great many of those who would
come are farm laborers now in their
own country
would they insist on having food
prepared in their own wayT'
.'Of course they prefer it, but that is
a matter of habit, and they would be
able to live and work on other food"
''That is they would be willing to
adapt themselves to good farm fare,
such as bread, potatoes, meat. etc. ?''
Yes
The common idea that the Chinese
as a class are slow to learn or general
ly deficient in manly qualities, is a
mistake. OF course there are block
heads and mental and moral delin-
quents, but what else can be expected
in a nation of 4OO.OOO,OOO people?
There is not an entire absence of per
sons of this type in our SO,0OO,OOO
population On the other hand, it is
stated that Chinese merchants in
this country desire to bring over clerks
and helpers. and there is without doubt
a desire on the part of leading Chinese
to get rid of large numbers of ignor-
ant coolies. With the immigration
gates wide open few. if any, Cinnamon
would come here expecting to make a
permanent home. Their ambition
would be to work here for awhile, lay
aside a sum of money and then take
themselves and their property back to
China. where they could live in COM
paratively luxury on their capital.
There seems to be 10 hope that the
Chinese could mix with our population
as Europeans have done. They would
remain -undigested by Amerl-
can civilization. These things are ap-
parent to all, and would be considered
unans wearable arguments against the
admission of the Chinese if it were
not that some farmers are desperate
over the labor question Unless the
proposed admission could be restricted
to house servants and farm labOrerS,
with the number to be employed by
any one person limited, the small farm

The Farmer and the Local
Merchant.

Quite frequently we see in some of
our state exchanges fierce denuncia-
tion of people for buying from mail
order houses 1t is a common claim,
with them that we should keep our
money at home and build up home in
dustries. Only a week or two ago one
of them made the statement that local
merchants would duplicate the prices
of mail order houses for the same
quality of goods. A letter, which we
printed some weeks ago, signed COun-
try Merchant, exposed the fallacy of
this argument. We have just found,
in the Farmers Call, an editorial
which is the best answer to the claim
that farmers should always buy at
home, that we have seen:
What has been said in the Farm
er's Call about the farmer, the mail
order house and the local merchant
has awakened a deep interest among
our subscribers and quite a number
have asked us to discuss the matter
farther, as they heartily approved of
the views we expressed and believed
that they should be emphasized
We do not believe that the farm
er is under any obligation to the local
merchant. Conditions may be differ
ent elsewhere but where our observa-
ton has extended the local merchant
has never so conducted his business
that the farmer is under the least OBJ
legation to buy of him. Until the ad-
vent of the mail order houses, the
local merchant sold to the farmer at
a handsome profit. Very often the
villager was charged less than the
farmer was made to pay. The village
people assumed offensive airs and con-
sidered themselves superior to the
farmers, who had, ON the average,
somewhat more intelligence and abili-
ty and considerably more industry and
money and good sense. The local
merchant contends that the farmer
than that asked by the mail order
houses, but the local merchant never
has paid and does not now pay the
nearby farmer more for anything than
the lowest price for which it can be
bought. Not so long ago we were in
village of about 200 population,
where the merchants are vigorously
Objecting to the mail order houses and
denounce the farmers that buy of
those houses instead of the merchants
i'm the village. A merchant called our
attention to some very nice potatoes he
had for sale and commented on the
low price he was making on them.
We inquired of whom he had bought
