THE COUNTRY DOES NOT
WANT HUMBLE LABOR.
From Los Angeles Examiner.

The good archbishop of Manila has
issued to the people an address, al
-1iirable il. the main. He says: Il
want the people to be employed, to
possess modest farms and to have
money in the bank. The Filipinos
nave been ready to die for their coun-
try. They should now live for her, de-
velop her resources. and make her
the garden of the world
All that it excellent. but the good
archbishop says also:
"@The need of the day is honest, pa
tieat. Humble Labor"
With that We do not agree at all.
The world has seen enough of Humble
labor. This is a Republic; its rule
extends to the Philippine Islands, and
men there should be encouraged TO
feel as they do here.
There is no reason why labor should
be any more humble than the capi-
tai that employs it. AS matter of
fact, the employing capital needs ad-
vice about humility far more than La
bor
Labor should be independent, self
respecting. 1t should consider and
respect the rights of others and de-
mand respect for its own rights.
The workingman VINO gives a day
Of labor should consider himself just
exactly the same in the nation as the
other man in the nation who pays him
for the day of labor.
His work should be honest. 1t should
also be patient. but the patience
should not extend to the enduring of
injustice.
For a good many thousand years hui
man beings have had preached to them
their duty to be Humble. The poor
serfs were humble, when all that they
earned was taken from them. The mis-
cradle slaves were humble; the mou-
jiks in Russia with knout over their
backs are humble.
This country was established chief
ly to make it possible for men to live
free from this shameful humility.
America and the rest of the world
need vigorous workers, Independent
workers, honest workers, self-respect-
ing workers.
But there is no reason for the work
er to be any more humble than the
man he works for.
If he earns what he gets the score
is even. If he earns more than he gets,
the humility should be on the side of
the man wlo takes more than he
gives.
independence. manliness, self-asser-
tion, these are the qualities for the
worker The day for humility and cring
ing has gone by.
workingmen want their reward now
and here. They want decent pay de
cent rest and decent education And
they are going to have those things.
They have heard enough about hum
bleness.-Los Angeles Examiner.

In a general way territory woods
are considered those grown in the
states west Of the Missouri river, but
owing to the different characteristics
and purposes for which Colorado, Tex
as, California and New Mexican wools
are used. these states are not includ-
ed in this general classification. The
term territory ordinary, which is sell
dom used, and territory staple refer
to the difference in quality. Territory
clothing is the trade term for the
shorter stapled woods. Colorado and
New Mexico spring woods refer to
hose clipped in the spring of the year.
Many ranchmen shear both spring and
fall, and therefore the dealers some
times refer to the Colorado and New
Mexican spring and Colorado and New
Mexican fall. The market quotations
for all our western woods are gener-
ally based on the secured value and
tnis gives but small conception as to
the amount of dirt and grease con
tanned in a shipment and on which
freight must be paid just the same
as if it were all wool and a yard wide.

Dissatisfaction at being asked to
set type from copy coming from the
two telegraph Offices began as sool as
the telegraphers went on strike, the
printers in the three local newspaper
Offices showing considerable hostility.
This feeling increased by degrees
and resulted today in a meeting of
the officials of the two unions to con-
slider some action.
President Grault and two associates
represented the telegrapners and Pres
ident Fisher the printers. 1t was de-
cided that a joint committee of the
two unions should tomorrow visit the
proprietors of the Omaha papers and
request that no more specials copied
by non-union telegraphers be sent TO
the composing rooms.
Considerable apprehension is felt
because Of what it may lead to.
The Cudahy Packing company today
gave an increase of 10 per cent to q
telegraphers in Omaha. Kansas City,
Wichita and Sioux City. Manager IL
lis of the telegraph department said
the company had not anticipated a
strike, but gave this increase in wag-
es to insure itself against the possi-
bility of trouble.
All messengers are still out in Oma-
ha, and kilograms are being telepholed
TO the patrons of both companies.

IN the valley between the Pecos
and the Rio Grande, beginning near
Sandia mountain, is the bed of an old
river with all its tributaries, it's falls,
it's shadows and its bends. 1t is three
hundred miles long and many feet
wide, but it is only the gnost of a riv-
er, for there is no water there. 1t
passes by the ruins of Gran Quivira,
its bed is strewn with broken lava
and it terminates in a salt marsh.
The Indians have a legend that lo1g
ago the waters were deep and swift
there, until one day a great fire swept
down the valley tapping up the wa
tiers, leaving the bed empty, the banks
barren and the valley desolate forever

The Rainfall of the West.
George H. Failyer.)

Regions generally called semi-arid
receive less than twenty inches aver
age annual rainfall Excepting limited
areas in the northwest and some parts
of California, this includes the whole
region west of the ninety-ninth or one
hundredth meridian. In Nevada and
California are limited areas with such
low rainfall as to be truly arid. In the
intermountain valleys the precipitation
for the most part occurs during the
winter months. In the plains region
the greater part of the annual rainfall
is during the spring and summer
months.
Speaking broadly and comparing
large areas, it has been estimated
that fifty per cent of the rainfall in
humid regions runs off in the streams.
Much of this consists of flood waters
which run off the surface and do not
enter the soil, but a large part of it
is subterranean water that finds it's
way to the creeks and streams from
the lower depths of the soil. Estimat-
ing in the same way, it is believed
that about ten per cent Of the rainfall
of the plains region runs off in the
streams. For the most part this con
sists of storm waters. There are few
springs and the streams generally
cease running soon after rains. If the
rainfall is eighteen inches aad the
run-off ten per cent. about sixteen
inches of rain will have entered the
soil
However, in some parts of the semi
arid regions and during some years
in any section, the rainfall may be no
more than ten OF twelve inches. For
the most part the soils of the plains
region are loans of exceptional fer
tility when sufficiently watered. the
sixteen inches of water absorbed
| would saturate these soils with capil-
| larry water to a depth of five or six
| feet if none were lost between rains
| by evaporation The rains moisten the
surface to depth depending of course
upon the amount of rainfall, but the
moisture is always confined TO a few
| feet OF the surface soil. 1t is during
exceptionally wet seasons only that
dry soil cannot be found at a depth
of three or four feet. The conditions
are so different mere from those in
humid climates that it is difficult full
| ~ to realize them and their bearing
upon farm practice.
An important difference exists also
| in the character of the rains of the
east and those of the west. The sum-
| zer rains of the west, and especially
of the plains country. consist largely
fof infrequent heavy showers. If the
soil is open and deep. this rain sinks
deeply into the ground. AS previously
mentioned, the hot sun a1d drying
winds of the semi-arid regions rapidly
dry the topsoil and this forms a mulch
or covering which retards evaporation
Light showers in a dry time do very
little good. They wet the surface. and
if the water extends to the moist soil
below, water from below actually
flows 70 the surface over the wet soil
grains a1d the water of light snow
ers as well as some of that previously
in the soil, is lost by evaporating in
to the air.
