TIE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

A forceful article on The Right to
Strike: Its Limitation by Joseph j.
Feely in the North American Review
for May, will command the attention of
all interested in the labor problem.
The writer deals with the subject in it's
legal aspect, and, after stating what
the findings OF thee ourts have been,
he says:
First: What is the purpose of the
combination? (a) Is 1t a lawful pur-
pose? 90 Is it an unlawful purpose?
If the combination is found TO be for
an unlawful purpose the court will en-
join the carrying out of such purpose
by any means whatever. Second: II
the combination is found 20 be for a
lawful purpose, are the means used or
designed TO be used to carry the COM
binaton into effect lawful or unlawful?
II unlawful means are to be used the
courts will interfere TO prohibit such
use. The so-called right to strike Is
thus seen to resolve itself instead
merely into a right TO strike in order
10 attain justifiable end. Our courts
especially those of Massachusetts. the
only state in which the questions relat-
ing 10 this right have been considered
in any extensive way, in passing upon
cases involving the right to strike fol-
low these general principles and seek
to determine whether the purpose of
the strike is one which a reasonable
man would consider q justifiabls end in
view Of all the surrounding circum-
stances, keeping in mind the co-equal
rights of others and the general
grounds Of public policy

ONLY ONE ARGUMENT.

In San Francisco the reform admin
istration abolished by ordinance the
gambling slot machines which had
been fixtures in saloons and cigar
stores. After the gang regained con-
troll the slot machine manufacturers
and promoters started out to get a
revocation OF the ordinance. One OF
their agents interviewed a saloonist
who had grown wealthy and by reason
of his saloon ownership had become
politically prominent. The saloonist
was strongly favorable to repeal.

other persons ordinarily more entitled

Is considered after the cash account is
consulted. The difference between the
saloonkeeper and the others is in po-

they belong with him. Socially they
ostracise him.

The Flute of Twilight.

The Flute of Twilight.
II you've ever heard the thrill
OF the lonesome whippoorwill;
If you've ever heard the calling
OF his woodsong, rising, falling,
You have known the fairy music
On the shores of fairy night,
Where the fiddles of old sorrow
Join the flutes of evenlight.
II you've ever heard the tril
OF his whip-poor, whip poor will;
If you've ever heard the ditty
OF his mourrful cry of pity,
You have heard the magic meaning
OF the music of the dusk,
Singing down 10 seas Of summer
On breeze of April musk.
II you've ever heard him fill
All the night with wsip-poor will:
If you've heard his sob repeated
Till the hundredth time completed,
You have listened to the dream
song
OF the night Of dreaming love
Crying down enchanted easements
OF the woods to stars above.
If you've ever heard the thrill
OF the lonesome whipporwill:
If you've ever heard the crying
OF this lovelorn spirit signing,
You have been in happy regions
Where the peerie dance and
and sing
And the flutes of sylvan sadness
Fill the nights of fairy spring.

tenuOn to these points. breadmaktng
is really very simple process. With
out this knowledge or attention there
will ever be mystery and uncertainty
about 1t, and there will always be in
different results.
There are only four ingredients alb
solutely necessary for the making Of
q loaf Of raised wheat bread. They
are good bread -four. fresh yeast.
Hquid-either milk or water-and salt
Other ingredients are often used. but
they are not necessary. For instance.
shortening IS sometimes added. This
makes a richer loaf. Sugar, too. may be
used in small quantity. This hastcns
the growth Of the yeast plants. Potato
water occasionally replaces the milk
or water and makes a moist loaf. while
potat toes and hop water form mixture
in which the yeast colonies are quickly
started. But good bread can be made
without the addition Of any of these
things.
Flour Used In Breadmaking.
In order that we may have a well
raised light loaf it is necessary to use
a -four containing large per cent OF
gluten. This is the -four made from
the so called hard" wheats. Such
-four has less water than the -four
made from the soft wheat, therefore,
mixed with liquid. gives a larger
loaf Gluten is a grayish. rubber-like
substance found in -four after the
starch has been washed out. 1t is the
gum" obtained from chewing hand
full Of wheat. as known by most people
who have spent their childhood in the
country. This very character Of glu7
ten makes it accessory In breakmak''
ing. 1t stretches and stretches, FORM
ing little pockets in which the gas IS
retained in the loaf until II Is baked.
The heat Of the oven hardens the glu-
ten quickly before it has had time to
relax. and so the loaf keeps its purfed
shape.
Good bread -four should be white.

of chief engineer engineer inspec-
tors, inspectors, clerks, etc. To cover

GET HISTORY RIGHT.
[Guthrie Center Guthrian.1

Wilbur Crafts of Washington. D. c..
writer and lecturer of note, is writing
letters to the ministers of the district
begging them TO support, and work
for the denomination Of Judge Smith.
AS a reason for this advice, he says
that Judge Smith voted to do away
with the canteen of the army and for
other temperance reforms.
The Guthrian would suggest to Mr.
Crafts, that Council Bluffs, the home
city of Judge Smith, has been motor
iously the most vicious violator of the
Mulct law, and the prohibitory law,
of any city in the state except Daven-
port. Gambling dens, and the red light
district for years ran under the protec-
ton of the city, upon payment of a
stipulated sum paid to the chief Of po-
lice.
This condition OF law violation con-
tinued, receiving tacitIS the approval
OF Judge Smith, until Attorney General
nyers hes.c persecution .s:!:==tt ..a .:-
illegal saloon, and forced them to COM
ply with the requirements Of the law.
He is now prosecuting the chief Of po-
lice Of that city, for receiving money
for the protection OF the vice of gamb-
ling, and the houses Of Ill fame.
In the person Of Webb Byers, we
have out at home here a temperance
reformer, that reforms things at home.

he is so interested in the system Can
nonism, and Aldrichism, that he has
no time to curb or cure the abuses that
fnflict his home. 1t IL left for Webb

WESToN's GREAT PERFORMANCE.

| In these days of the auto, the flying
and the presto change method of doing
things in general, walking doesn't es-
| pecially commend itself as a mode of
long distance travel. Eighty-tive days
Or so from Los Angeles to New York
| may be going some" afoot, but with
NOSE of those who cross the continent
the burning regret is that is can't be
done in less than eightyfive hours.
But Edward Payson Weston did not
set out on his long tramp to demon
strate the commercial possibilities o:
pedestrianism. He is to be credited
with better purpose, or at leas: with
better result. He may have cared
more merely to DO the multitude, but
the message he has carried, anyway.
1t is worth something to the cause of
good DIGESTION and strong limbs to
know that at - a man who for forty
years has been long distance walker
has accomplished this feat. And don t
miss the point. Weston didn'- ride on
street cars and loaf on the corner all
his life and then tackle this job. No,
his performance is the elimination of a
life of physical activity out Of doors
The secret of Weston's success he
himself ascribes to clean living and abb
stention from stimulants AMI intoxi-
cants. He has been making l5ng
walks for more than forty years In
1876 he walked from Portlard. Maine,
to Chicago. distance of 1926 miles
in one hour and twenty minutes less
than twenty six days In 1907, forty
years later. at the age of g. he repeat
ed his feat and covered las miles IN
twenty-four days and ninteen hours,
thus beating his record OF 1851 by
! twenty-six hours.
From the inception Of his heroic
tramp which began on Feb asst
at Los Angeles, the spriglltly veteran
has found his progress across the coup-
try a triumphal march. Children ard
country folk cheered him in the small
or towns, while in the larger cities car
avans of automobiles followed afoot.
The moyors of such cities as Toledo
and Buffalo honored him with ban
quets; at Batavia, y. Y, the head Of
the municipality waited for MIN a.
the roadside and pinned a gold medal
on his dripping raincoat. Everywhere
the spectacle of the brave old man
trudging along undaunted by wind or
storm won all hearts. Frequently,
after hard walk of forty or fifty miles
during the day, Weston has stepped
uut upon the platform VI some local
opera house and delivered a lecture on
his experiences OF the road. Often
he has trudged the highways by night,
swinging a lantern; again and again
he has gone day and night with inter-
walls of only four or five hours sleep
Always, however, his steady stride has
brought him to the coveted goal at
the appointed time.
1t is good to contemplate this life and
the performance Of Edward Payson
Westan. He deserves well ot hte ..,.,n-
try. He has given Us quite as much
as the man who discovered the north
pole.
