THE STRIKE.

The big strike is on and contrary
to the predictions of railroad officials
the shopmen seem 20 have gone out
il a body They appear to he well
organized and at this time at least
stand fairly well united in support OF
their demands. Whether they will be
able to bear the strain of long strike
remains to be seen.
With the strike underway it be-
GENES a subject of much interest and
various views are expressed as to the
justice or injustice of the fight. But
il is almost useless to discuss the
right or wrong of the affair. The
strike was not called to settle point
ir ethics 1t is strictly a selfish pro-
position on both sides and both en-
ployes and employers seem to go on
the theory of Robin Hood:
Let him get who has the power,
Let him hold who can"
From the shopmen's standpoint the
strike will be right and a good thing
if they can only win it. The justice
or injustice OF the position taken by
the railroad managers will also be de-
termined when the success or failure
cl the strike becomes known. If the
railroad is forced to grant the de-
mands of the men then it viii be
proven that Kruttschnitt is in the
wrong. for the railroad will have suf-
fered loss. If the railroad wins then
Kruttschnitt will have been proven
right. It is expense. not equity, that
counts with the money god.
But the public constitutes a third
party that also has a selfish interes:
in the railroad strike. If the strike
spreads and affects traffic as it is Ii

other men are willing to swear that
during the past season they made 10
per cent interest on $500 per acre by
raising alfalfa.
The instances serve to show that
the land under the project is highly
productive when crops once begin to
bear. There is every reason for be-
jieving that when the Umatilla project
is fully settled and cultivated, land
values will go to a height far above
any prices now prevailing. Settlers
who hold on TO their tracts until thai

S2oo per acre his Judgment must be
questioned. If he meant that in the
colonization of the project the bis
land owners have had TOO good thing
and have made profits. that should
have gone to settlers he may be right
L, is true the big concerns have not
sold OFF their land as soon as they
should and at prices they should have
been willing TO take, But the govern
ment itself is largely responsible for
this situation. The government has
been Ienient with the big owners and
has extended the time in which they
were TO dispose of their holdings. Had
the government adhered to the terms
ol its contract-as it usually does
when dealing with small men-the big
owners would have been forced to sell
their holdings promptly and at COM
raratively low prices.
1t may be though that the director
had no intention of slamming the
project It is possible his remarks
were intended for effect on parties
having holdings they wish included
under the proposed extension and for
which they are asking very fancy
prices. In that event it is too bad he
was not more explicit in his criti-
cisms.

GETS DOWN To BUSINESS.

Perhaps the greatest point Of merit
about the commission form of govern
ment is that it provides a system un-
der which the public officials "get
down to business" 4 commission
composed of three men is a wieldy
body 1t may act quickly and go in
to matters thoroughly. It is an ex-
ecuuve body rather than a legisla-
tive body.
on the other hand a city council
composed of two representatives from
each ward presided over by a mayor
i> a legislative body rather than an
administrative board. The council
manic system was adopted on the as
sumption that lawmaking would be
the most important feature of city
government. But it is not. Lawmak-
ing by the city council amounts to but
little. The ordinances are few and
simple. The bulk of the work con-
sists in directing public work and in
seeing that the city gets value receiv-
ed for its expenditures.
BY the very nature of things this
work may be best done by a board
composed of a few men who will give
close attention to affairs. Three COM
missioners, drawing such salaries as
they deserve, may do the work much
better than can a whole brigade of
unpaid officials devoting such time
and attention as they see fit to their
duties.

THE CANDY REVEL.

The news which will be contained
in the 1910 census report that we
spend more than five dollars year
per capita on candy, is not likely to
fill our minds Tith CONSERVATION.
We could build one hundred battle
ships in a twelVe-month with the
money We spend for sweets. We
much prefer the sweets.
Nearly. or quite four times, as much
candy is produced in the United
states as was made ten years ago.
The census figures, when completed,
will bear out this statement. Candy
factories have doubled in number,
and then doubled again within the last
decade, and candy shops are as thick
almost, as liquor saloons.
1t is estimated that the factory val
ues of the candy product of the Unit
ed states for the year 1910 was at
least $250,OOO,0O0. In Chicago, where
vast quantities of candy are manufac-
ured, $250.000.000 is reckoned as a
wofuuy low estimate. Chicagos can
dy production in 1910 increased so
