ProeIainl$ Labor DaV.

Monday, Sept. 8, has been desig-
mated as Labor Day by Gov. john
son in. proclamation issued last
Friday, in which the governor pays
q high tribute to the laborlng man.
The proclamation follows:
"Acting under the authority con-
ferred upon me as executive of the
state, I do hereby proclaim as La
Dor Day, Monday, Sept. 8, 1906,
and request general observance of
this great holiday, established in
just recognition of all who toll.
"That thelegislature of the states
have all set apart one day in each
year when labor shall lay aside it's
avocations and meet to discuss
problems of vital interest to the
body polite is cause for congratu-
lation. Only in free and fair dis
cussion, earnest yet dispassionate,
can labor and capital find thatcom-
mon ground that is essential to the
prosperity and happiness Of all.
Labor in this country has at
tanned dignity that is second to
no service. Its strength and viril-
ity are vertebrae in the nations
spinal column. It's problems are
identical with those of the country
and their settlement can measur-
ably be fastened by proper obser-
vance of Labor Day and a fair and
earnest effort at mutual recogni-
ton and Cancellation between or
gained labor and organized capital.
Both, apparently, are institutions
that will endure as long as the re-
public shall last, and it is to be
hoped that better understanding
will come out of successive obser-
vances incident to this day.-St.

II Wcrd for The Gopher

Gophers of all kinds are, by the
majority of farmers, considered a
nuisance. The farmers son who
snares, browns, poisons or other
wise destroys greatmany gophers
is looked upon as benefactor of
the farmer. As to whether other
varieties of gophers do any
great amount of damage, I am un-
qualified to,say. But l know that
the common striped gopher pre-
fers diet of certain insects which
are enemies to the farmer-to one
Of grain.
1t is amusing to watch them
catch grasshoppers. When agrass-
hopper jumps, the gopher will fol-
low it, and as soon as it lights, will
pounce upon it. Then, sitting on
his launches, he takes the grass
hopper in his forepaws; and, after
picking off the wings, he starts at
the head and munches it, much
the same as hungry boy would
MUNICH a loaf of bread.
Having closely watched the
gopher's peculiar habit of eating,
I shared four of them and put them
in cage. I then tried feeding
them with variousinsects. and al
tho they ate few, they preferred
grasshoppers. Indeed, they would
leave any other food for meal of
them.
I think if some agricultural COL
lege would investigate the subject
it would find that gophers are
not such bad animals after all, and
probably do not deserve to have a
bounty placed on them. DICK.

Gbautauqua Injecting.

The regular biweekly meeting of
the Chautauqua Circle was held in
the chapel last Sunday afternoon.
The roll-call disclosed one alb
sentee on account ofsickness. The
president again called attention to
the general disregard of the by
laws in regard to giving the name
of the author with each quotation
stating that it would be desira BILE
to have a closer regard for this
provision. In announcing the
program for the next meeting it
was found necessary to call for vol
unteers to take the places of two
members, one of whom b. resigned
and the other being excused from
attendance on account of sickness.
To this there was hearty response.
A debate on the subject of "Ste-
biography" was arranged between
the Critic and the President to take
place at the next quarterly meet
ing of the circle to be held on
September 3Oth, at which time the
election of officers will also take
place. The exact question and
terms will be arranged later.
The program at Sundays meet
ing was not up to the standard,
'altho by no means a poor one
Probably the best paper on the
program was one submitted by a
newly-acquired member on the
subject ''The Navy as Career,
from the Viewpoint of an Enlisted
Man" The writer followed his
subject closely and gave out many
facts that are not generally known
to the public. The other numbers
on the program, what it Costs
Not to Have an Education "The
Stage and Its People, and "The
American Cabinet" were reviewed
by considerable discussion and re-
marks on the part of the Critic,
the principal errors being the mis-
pronunciation Of words and man
ner of delivery. On accountofthe
excessively hot weather the presi-
dent adjourned the meeting very
promptly on the expiration Of the
allotted time.
