KANSAS COMMENT
THE sYMPATHy sTRIKE.

THE SYMPATHY STRIKE.
A three weeks trial was all that was
! backing the strike of street car men
| IN Philadelphia, that the sympathetic
strike is not The proper weapon with
which to fight,
There are always three parties to a
strike: the strikers, the employers and
| the public.
The rights of the public are the
rights which generally fail of proper
attention.
1t was the public which was getting
the worst of it in this sympathetic
strike business.
:. When President Roosevelt summon
miners and the stubborn operators,
and practically forced them, for the
good of the public, ii get together on
some basis of agreement which would
protect the public from suffering for
want of coal, he recognized the sound
ness of the pricipIe that the public has
rights in the settlement of a strike.
It is true. no doubt. that if workmen
desire to stop work they should be
permitted to do so. 1t is true that If
a factory or mine wants to lay off it's
hands, it should be allowed that privi
lege. But If the time comes when
through the quitting OF men or the
laying off of men, the public is suffer
ing, the government should have the
right to step in and supply the de-
mands of the public This may be
brought about by compulsory arbitra-
ton in some form; by a court through
which a speedy and equitable hearing
may be had. 1t is suggested by some
that the plan of requiring all labor dis
putes to be arbitrated by SINE disin-
terested tribunal before the strike be-
gins is the best. If the arbitration
fails to bring about d satisfactory set
Element, then the dissatisfied partici-
pant may do as he pleases about start
ing strike or lockout. But the
public will then have the facts in the
case, and the decision of the tribunal
opinion. And public opinion can do a
good deal toward settling any kind Of
disagreement in this country.
If the present system of strikes and
lockouts is bad, then the sympathy
strike, or the sympathy lockout, mere
ly intensifies the undesirable condition.

Our Oriental Trade.

These things, then, are essential for
the development of American trade In
the Orient:
That American wares be represented
in China by American agents who
carefully study the needs Of the mar
ket, who have the support of sympa-
thetic home houses, and who will use
their Yankee ingenuity in creating
new demands in accordance with
Chinese tastes.
The American manufacturers exer-
else the strictest scrutiny in all ship
ments made to China, and see that the
goods shipped correspond in every de-
tail with the sample upon which the
order was based
That goods shipped from America to
the Orient be packed with a-view to
standing the rough handling which is
always the fate of every package ship
ped across the sea, that these goods
may arrive in China in perfect condi-
ton as do the wares shipped by the
British, the Germans, and the Japan
csc.
The European and Japanese bust
ness men. without exception. observe
scrupulously every one of these es-
sential requirements. The Americans
are the only negligent ones. If these
simple and primary requirements be
observed, the Americans will forge
ahead of all competitors by reason of
that peculiar ingenuity and sharp wit
which has been so aptly illustrated in
the case of the soit and tobacco con-
cerns.-Loufs Brownlow, in Success

MAPPING OUT THE AIR.

Aeron2utics have reached in France
a stage in which national rules to con-
troll the navigation Of the air are to be
considered by the government. These
proposed regulations take into account
the rights of the public and property
owners as well as sky pilots. They set
limit within which private premises
may not be approached, forbid fighting
in a fog, recommend the location Of
general routes, and prohibit the carry
ing of any explosives except ammuni-
ton for hunting. High buildings will
be required to have illuminated points
on their roofs. and wires at an eleva-
ton it is claimed should have similar
safeguards. Each municipality is ex-
pected to control its upper air by
license. This movement is another
strong indication of rapid progress in
aviation. 1t is time to look to sys-
matte rules and necessary restrictions
in a country like France, whose local
divisions and administrations have a
close supervision over their own affairs.
Foreign countries are near, and police
departments, as well as military bu-
reaus, are shy about leaving entrances
open overhead. Germany is pushing
experiments in aviation even more Wig.
orously than France. England is less
active in aerial flight, but not less ap-
prehensive of it's possible dangers to
public safety.-Atchison Champion.

farmers of all the nation. Dry farm
ing has its lessons for the farmers of
the humid regions as we'll as for those
depending on irrigation. If 20 inches Of
rainfall will mature crops, why should
more be used when received through
bitches? Or if Is inches can be made
to do. why use more? Why not use
the excess to help out the drfed-up
acres beyond the persent limits of the
flow? In brief, the conservation of
moisture in the soil has one of its chief
uses in extending the irrigable area of
the nation by making one gallon of
water do the work done under more
wasteful methods by two.
And over the entire countrvL whore
rainfall is relied upon. the season is an
exceptional one in which drouths of
more or less severity do not occur. And
whenever a drOUth occurs the remedy
is dry farming, whether the location he
in Iowa or Ohio or Colorado. This pres
ent season has been one of WIDESPREAD
and iong-continued drouths in some re-
g1onS east of the Missouri. Crops have
been shortened up in yield-perhaps
by just the amount which turns profit
into loss-by lack of moisture. And vet
there were copioUs rains early in the
season Dry farming would have held
these rains in the ground and would
have assured plentiful crops all over
these afflicted fields. Dry farming
won't hurt anything in a wet season.

taken of these, as they will be turned
in before they have extracted sufficient
moisture from the soil to become a
serious detriment to the trees. In wetter
localities, such as in our hilly districts,
early ploughing is q very questionable
practice, and our best orchardists have
come to the conclusion that il is desir-
able to leave the ground fairly flat and
growing a crop of grass or weeds until
the early spring. so that the soil may
be held in position. The land should be
worked as soon as the teams can get on
1T, and sufficient moisture will then be
retained to enable the trees to go
through the summer successfully. It
will possibly be news to many of our
older orange growers that the proprie-
tor Of one Of the largest orangeries in
South Australia has recently procured a
subsoiling pillow, and intends to break
up a fair portion of the space between
the rows with this instrument, as he is
convinced that the continuous applica-
ton of water year after year combined
with a shallow tillage, that has been
followed in the past, tends TO bring the
subsoil into q condition totally unsuited
for the penetration of the roots OF
citrus or other trees. This departure
from the ordinary metfod of cultiva-
ton will be watched with considerable
interest, but If the work is judiciously
done, and is combined With other good
cultural methods, no fear need be felt
as to the result.
