ORGANIZATION OF THE HARVEST
Ter WORKS.

The action of the employees Of the
International Harvester Co., in organ
izing a mutual protective society, is
both proper and commendable. This
organizations has for its purpose the
care of those who are sick, who may
be injured, and the protection Of the
family, in the event the bread-winner
is taken away.
The benefits paid, and the aid offer
ed, are substantial, and come at the
very moment when all other sources
fail. Fellow employees are cared for
in their old age, and the lot OF the
workmen is made easier by this asso-
citation, which, departing from the
usual lines, directs its efforts wholly
in the alleviation of distress among its
members, who may or may not join,
as they elect.
The organization is commendable in
every respect, and adopted generally
by the trades, will do % to wipe
out poverty than any method that
might be followed.

FARMERS ORGANIZE.

Dewl in Texas they have a way of
doing things once in a while.
Tuesday the farmers of that state
Will meet in Forth Worth, to organ
ise q union. Unlike most organiza-
lions, there will be no attempt to pur-
chase wholesale in a community man
ner, Or to cut down prices. They will
act attempt to tell the man who sells
to them what he shall charge for his
ware. Not they. After thinking things
over, these Texans, placing themselves
in the ether fellows place, have decid-
ed that a man may ask what he
plsases for his, product, and; if it is
wsrth it he will get tiff not he will
fail.
Then, investigating from the other
mans point Of view, they argue that
they have the same right to ask a de-
cent price for their produce that the
other fellow has. The average farm
ers' organization has sought to con
troll the price of the things he buys,
The Texan farmer will instead set and
maintain a price on the things they
have for sale.
So it is proposed to organize a I'M
ion, and through the organization
everything will be sold.
Not only will the middleman live in
history in Texas, but the produce that
the farmer sells will be guaranteed
aad any purchaser who pays for one
thing and gets another, may register
a complaint and the association will
make geod-or give him his money
back.
That is not all. 1t goes into the ques.
ton Of labor in q way that has never
been attempted before. The organi
cation does not attempt to reduce, but
seeks rather to increase the wage q
the workman. It has made IN ALI
aaes with the workers. 1t viii pay
more for hire than others-but at the
same time it will demand more. a
man must be worth the increased
price. Not only that, but they viii
pay as much as a man is worth. Mel
who earn a minimum are not wanted
men who can earn the maxi
mum are the employees sought
the hard worker, who seeks to make
constantly more and more is sought
This is on the theory that it is bet
ter-and cheaper to pay high wages tt
ten men, than to pay the same amount
Of salaries to twenty men. The re
suit is, that the well paid men ant
the wellto-do farmer live in har
mony.
The farmer gets from his land onl,
that which he works for, and thu
workman the same.

WHEN PREJUDICE is MISTAKEN
FOR JUDGMENT.

The Butte Miner, a most excellent
newspaper of the Democratic type,
occasionally mistakes prejudice for
sound Judgment.
The following excerpt from a re-
cent issue is a cast in point:
Admiral Cervera, a former open
enemy Of this country, has joined
hands with other enemies of the
nation in praying for Mr.. Taft's
victory this fall.
Colonel Roosevelt was sent to the
front and rendered a good account
Of himself, but Colonel Bryan never
had the opportunity presented to
him to obtain fame upon the Skin.
mish line.
It may be that Admiral Cevera
dislikes Mr.. Bryan for the part he
played in the war, and that his SYM
pathies IN the present election are
with Mr.. Taft. because that gentle
a took no part in the conflict.
NAlAEE ~
Admiral Cevera has a right to
have his likes and dislikes, but It
is not believed that he will be able
to influence many votes in this
country one way or the other.
Such drivel as the above, put forth
with owl like seriousness might be
considered good politics in a country
where the voters lack common sense.
Coming as 1t does from a paper OF
the standing Of the Miner, to a client
age as intelligent as It's subscribers
are known to be, it places the paper
i'll a ridiculous light. II the Miner
published the above with the idea
that It would get in the spot light,
