cause there were not enough wives for
all. By mutual agreement several men
had exchanged wives. In other cases
women had chosen other partners and
the changes were made seemingly TO

There was an average of three fat.

Dwellings of the Eskimos.
The tent had raised platform upon
which all slept The edge of this made
n seat, and oil each side were placed
stone lamps, in which blubber was
burned, with moss as a wick. Over
this was drying rack, and there was
other furniture.
On board the yacht there had been
busy days of barter. Furs and ivory
had been gathered In heaps in ex-
change for guns. knives and needles.
Every seaman from cabin boy to cap
tain had suddenly got rich in the gam
bic of trade for priced blue fox skins
and narwhal tusks
The Eskimos were equally elated
with their end OF the bargain. For n

A woman had exchanged her fur

PLURALITY ToMMYRoT.

The Oregonian in its campaign fol
elections by purchase and graft,
brings the terrible indictment against
the direct primary that it allows
nominations by mere plurality Well,
that is no very new thing. All over
This country We have been having
plurality elections for many years.
Several presidents have had no,
only minority of the total vote, but
two or three even did not stand high
cts in the poll. And the government
at Washington still lives.
But the plurality nominations de
feet, if it is a defect, can be easily
remedied. The Washington plan OF
voting for second and third choices
where there are three or more can
didates, gives a perfectly just method
of arriving at the wishes of the elec
torate. 1t is similar but better than
the way a convention nominateS

The high price of hogs is causing
an unprecedented rush of porkers to
market, not only in the Northwest
but all over the country, and it is
predicted that there will be a great
scarcity Of hogs next year and con
sequently continuation of the high
prices. This sounds reasonable and
it would be wise to raise as many
hogs in this county next year as
possible. Wallowa county cannot be
beat for good porkers.

to do SO, it would be unjust to the
Christian men in the church who are
convinced that there are other eco
nomic systems which are more in ac
cord with their ideas Of social reform,
than is socialism. So long sa there is
nothing that is immoral or unethical
in their programs, the church has no
right to advocate an economic system
against which they might have right
to protest; because the church does
not exist primarily for the purpose of
advocating an economic system. 1t

SOCIALISM AND THE CHURCH.
The Right to Protest Must Be Jeal-
ousIy Guarded Always.

1t would be folly to deny that social
and economic injustices exist even i'll
the United States Only those who
are blinded by self-interest or ignor-
ance would declare that the present
economic system is all that one need
desire. This is the greatest country
in the world so far as production is
concerned, but in the matter of dis
tribution we are not SO fortunate. Ac-
cording to the statistics gathered by
American workirgma produces more
than the workingman of any other
country, but compared to what he pro-
duces, he is the poorest paid working
man; although it must be admitted
that his condition is better than that
of the workingrian of other countries.
All this indicates, however, that we
are a great producing nation. But
much remains to be done. Some day
the social and economic injustices in
this country will be wiped out, and
|
But it does not necessarily follow that
because one believes in reform meas
ures, that one is a socialist. Neither
must we infer that socialism is the
only system which can possibly bring
about better conditions for the masses
of the people. Socialism is simply
one of the many remedies that are
being advanced, in order to change
these conditions Practically all re-
formers agree with the socialists when
they portray the evils which we are
fighting, but they part company VIII a
it comes to advocating remedy
whereby they are to be eliminated.
The socialists have performed a most
valuable service in presenting their
protests and criticisms, but there is
practically nothing in existence today
which may be pointed to as being the
result of the introduction of the so
cialistic idea. There are examples OF
the value of cooperation and of the
efficiency of state control, but this is
not socialism. The success of CO
operative plant in a particular place
under peculiar conditions; or the
value of the service rendered by such
an institution as the postoffice, for i'll
stance, does not necessarily mean tina
the entire socialistic program, uni
versally applied, will solve the socia
problem.

Slower on the following Monday, to
show cause why restraining order
should not be issued against them.
With the able assistance of Attorney

Monday morning they appeared in
court and Judge Slower ruled that
nothing had been done by these men
to warrant him in issuing an injunc-

the privilege to walk back and forth
in front of the Ackerman-Quigley

the non-union men if they so desired.

foreigners applied for work in New
York they were rushed off to a trust
factory at Columbia, Pa, and paid
the munificent sum of 80 to 40 cents
a day. The foreigners quit work and
the mayor of Columbia, to his credit,
threatened the concern with publicity
If it did not keep its promise. The
trust officials took the hint and agreed
to pay the wages promised and trans
ported it's workers to another factory
in Harrisburg, Pa, where more skin
games were practiced. The immigra-
ton officials decided to carry the case
