the governments of the world consider
the most effective, to preserve peace,
But. after all, is there better way?
Doesn't the burden of all this taxation
and the added burden of actual warfare
with all its attendant horrors fall most
heavily upon the shoulders of those
least able to bear them, the working
people of the world?
Nearly all war springs from spirit
of commercial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the
awful price paid in human lives and hui
man suffering far outweighs the com
mercal advantages gained by a con-
quering nation. Isn't il about time that
the working people refused to take up
arms against their brethren that some
country or people might be exploited
by monied kings and trusts? When
the working people of the world make
up their minds that they will no longer
kill each other, pulling nuts out of the
fire for somebody else, war will cease,
Which is the better, the more humane,
the moral economical way of preventing
strife between nations? To seek peace

spirit of brotherly love and kindness

PREPARES FOR FEDERATION.

Mr. Charles Perry Taylor, secretary
of the Washington State Federation
of Labor, visited the harbor cities Tues
day afternoon and evening in the inter.
ests of the State Federation of Labor's
annual convention which will be held in
Hoquiam, January 18th to l4th, 1910.
Mr.. Taylor made brief visit among his
numerous friends in Aberdeen Tuesday
afternoon, and attended the meeting
of the Hoquiam Trades and Labor
Council in the evening.
The work of arranging for the coming
convention was practically completed.
Mr.. Taylor made stirring address be-
fore the Hoquiam central body, review
ing the work of the federation for the
past three years. From 40 unions af-
filiated with the State Federation three
years ago, the membership has now ex-
tended to 2l0 unions in good standing
This will insure at least 200 delegates to
the state federation, which will be the
largest in the history of the movement.
Mr.. Taylor has organized two central
labor councils and fourteen local unions
within the last four months. He paid
a glowing tribute to the women work
ers in the mining towns of the state
and delivered splendid eulogy on Alice
Lord, of Seattle head of the movement
to build home for the mattresses of
that city. Mr. Taylor addressed the
convention for over ninety minutes and
was requested to continue when he
would have stopped. His sincere, earn
est work on behalf of labor is known
to the craftsmen of the harbor before
whom he has spoken the last two con-
secutive labor days. Along with Presi
dent Case, Mr.. Taylor has been vital
force in the progress of the movement
of the state federation for the past two
yers.-Grays Harbor Post.

CARPENTERS PLANNING
SOCIAL AFFAIR

The local union of carpenters is max
ing elaborate preparations for an ev-
enings enjoyment at their hall in Labor
Temple next Thursday evening The
carpenters do not celebrate very often,
but when they do they make it an occa-
sion long to be remembered. The com
mittee having the entertainment in
hand won't tell all they have up their
sleeve but they let enough drop to justi-
fly us in telling the carpenters and their
invited guests that if they don't wander
down in the direction of the Labor
Temple that night, they'll miss some
thing good VIII there be eating
Surest thing, you know. And music
too, and it is whispered that there may
be little dancing for those that enjoy
the art. There will be some Grating
too, as the committee has strings out
for speaker or two that can talk
unionism straight from the shoulder
You carpenters bring your women folks
and enjoy yourselves.

We have often heard the managers of
some corporation say that "they are
going to run their busiess in their own
way" This pompous utterance sounds
fine but when some corporation is al
lowed to run it's business in its own way
it makes very sorry showing. The
switchmen concluded to allow the rail
roads to run their business in their own
way and withdrew from the companies
employ. They left them strictly alone.
Only once have any of the strikers been
near the yards and that was when they
went to get their pay. Surely, as far
as the striking switchmen are concerned,
the railroads have had ample oppor-

CITY Men and Small Farms.
n the Columbus Ohio State Journal

I
retired Methodist minister who
prompted by failing health. recently pos
sessed himself of a small farm tells us
that he cleared 1000 last year. He will
do considerably better this season. and
next year he has it all figured out that
his eight acres will net him 5000. He
has learned much about the business of
raising things for market, and Is qualified
now to go into it on rather extensive
scale His health is entirely restored and
he finds much JOY in his new work
A telegraph operator OF our acqualnt-
ance bought four acres near Columbus a
year ago and. with no previous expert
ence of country life, started chicken
farm The salary attached to his old job
was $40 a week, and his earnings from
eggs and broilers have averaged little
more than that In spite of much i'll luck
with his stock. He has learned great
deal about chickens in the last year and
is confident of future success.
One hears SO much about marvellous
profits from small farming and most
small farmers seem so poor that II is
hard not to be somewhat skeptical. We
recite these two of several similar in
stances which have come under our own
observation. as indicating that the city
man who goes into the country in the
right spirit, prepared to employ the same
intelligent industry which spells success
in town, is fairly sure TO get along.

WINTHROP DID NOT REJECT
REPORT ON AERoPLANE PUR-
CHASE NOT IN HIS HANDS.
Admiral Cowles'. Recommendation
May Go Over Until Secretary
of the Navy Returns.

1t was stated at the Navy DEPARTING mt
today that there is no truth in the pub
lished report that Acting Secretary of
the Navy Winthrop had refused to rec
ommend the purchase of aeroplanes for
the navy. The recommendation from
Admiral Cowles. chief of the bureau of
equipment, by which the purchase was
indorsed has not been received by Sec
rotary Winthrop, and while the recon
mendation may be accepted or rejected
by him, the whole matter may be al
lowed to go over till the return 81 Sec
rotary Meyer, who is at present out OF
Washington.
The officers of the bureau of equip
ment who drew up the plans for the
navy aeroplanes are very anxious hat
this government may get a start on the
work instead of waiting for foreign
nations to lead the way. as has been
the case in other branches of aero
nauticS.
Nobody has been sent abroad to study
the subject officially for the department,
but it is proba BILE that if Lieut.. Sweet
who has been representing the navy on
the airship board, can get away In time
he will go to Rheims unofficially and see
the international races for which Glenn
Curtiss is entered as the representative
of the Aero Club of America.
Trial Ground Not Yet Secured.
There has been nothing further done
about renting flying ground for the
officers of the Signal Corps who are
to handle the Wright aeroplane. The
meter is resting in the office of the
ouartermaster general, and as soon as
that Office can come to an agreement
with the owners of a suitable piece of
land the deal will be closed and Wilbur
Wright will be requested to come to
Washington and commence the flying
lessons.
Orville Wright and his sister kathrine
have gone abroad the former to make
final arrangements for the sale of the
manufacturing rights in Germany. and
possibly in England. They were due to
arrive in England today and after a
short stop were to go to Berlin where
they will remain during September and

Dining Cars In Europe.

From Harper's Weekly.
1t would be well for those who are re-
sponsible to compare the management of
American dining cars with that of the
cars abroad. The service here is DOOR
and so is the food. but the fault lies less
with the cooks and walters than with the
system. Getting a meal is a hurry -burly
distasteful proceeding. Unless one rushes
for the first sitting-usually ; o'clock-he
is invariably placed at a table covered
with soiled cloths and Uttered with rem
nants of food. Passengers and walters
Icrowdng in the aisle constantly obstruct
the passage, and the whole place assumes
the aspect of n BoWery heanery. Mean
while the perspiring cooks have to provide
everything on the excessive bill of fare.
from CLANS to cheese. at the same instant.
and necessarily the affair is mudde
from beginning to end. satisfying nobody
and irritating everybody. They do it much
better abroad. When the train starts.
the dining car conductor passes through
and asks each passenger whether he
wishes the early or late dinner, checks
off his diagram, labels the tables, and the
whole business goes like clockwork. A
simple but excellent meal is served in a
few courses when all are seated there is
no confusion, no soiied linen, nobody
waiting none of the distastefuI features
which now make a travelling dinner a
nuisance instead of delightful pastime
When the early dinner has been served
| say at 5:45-the tables are reset. and at
IL o'clock the operation is repeated.

Some Possibilities From Forestry

From Everybody's.
New Hampshire. If its legislature had
the will might have solved the White
mountain problem long ago by declaring
protective rules for the cutting of its
timber; and its lumbermen would today
bless it as heartily for their better estate
as would those gradually diminishing
hosts who once found in its forested
mountains summer rest and pleasure.
There is not a state in the Union
which cannot find in European forests
some lesson in this work. We cannot
always use their methods as we find
them. We must adapt them to our con-
ditions. Hand labor, cheap and efficient
there, is costly and inefficient here We
must develop tramways and cable lines
for handling our logs. and fit our system
of forestry to make portable machine
installations possible and economical
And when we have done this we shall
have accomplished a revolution in Amer
lea For forestry is All education and an
agent of civilization. In the southern
ignorant mountaineerS who now loosen
and destroy the soil. and live, loaf and
die in ignorance. we shall have an active
and alert population dealing with great
forest with a business proposition In
Vulnerable beautiful peaks. now inaccessi-
BILE because of the terrible mountain
trails. and unsafe because of the shiftless
and reckless population, will become de-
SRA BILE resorts and the sites for beautiful
homes. without detriment TO the forests
Valleys and ravines now being eroded
more deeply and piled with gravel and
rock will be restored to culture and will
become grassy and profitable.

late South African war, has been chosen
to contest West Clare. parliamentary
vacancy having been caused there by the
sudden death of j. Halpin. NJ. p Appar-
entity, West Glare is strongly in favor of
men who have gained notoriety, for the
late Mr. Halpin was identified with the
Fenian movement and had been twice
imprisoned for his political enthusiasm.
Arthur Lynch has not only been sent
to prison for high treason. but has
actually been sentenced to death His
previous attempt to enter the house of
commons is still fresh in the public mem
DRY. In the autumn of 1901 soon after
the close of the South African war, in
which he commanded the Second Irish
Brigade on the side of the Beers, he was
adopted as the nationalist candidate for
Galway City at a by-election Though
he made no appearance in the constitu-
ency, he easily defeated Sir Horace Plum
kett, the unionist nominee. He was to take
his seat. but on arriving in this country
from France he was arrested tried and
convicted of high treason The death
sentence was duly pronounced, but was
committed to one of penal servitude for
life. Mr.. Lynch. however, served only
eighteen months in prison, being relea sed
on tfcket-of-leave. and he was eventually
granted full pardon a couple of years
ago. He is thus in the enjoyment of full
citizen rights once more. and accordingly
is eligible for election to parliament
For some time after his release Mr.
Lynch was engaged In journalistic work
in Paris. but he recently came to London
to follow the medical profession, In
which he qualified last year Mr.. Lynch
has already arrived in the constituency
