How the ToiIers and Their En-.
ployers Celebrated the 0rgani-
zation Of Government Follow
ing the Revolutionary War.
The Memorable Demonstration
Of 1882.

ASKED to define Labor day. the
late p. J. MCGUIRE, who is
IA credited with being its origi-
nator. made reply as follows:
Labor day. above all other festal
days. holds unique position in the
chronology Of festivals. 1t gives cheer
to the weary and overladen. 1t has
promise for the helpless and the weak.
1t is redolent with the fragrance of
hopes to be fulfilled. it IL the harbin-
ger Of better life, fairer conditions
and more joyous times for labor"
The holiday, now legalized In every
state Of the Union and in the District
OF Columbia and Alaska. although set
apart for the country's toilers the
same a. Memorial day Is set apart for
the veterans Of the civil war, has be-
come general holiday celebrated with
parades, sports, picnics, excurslons and
other diversions.
The significant feature of the holiday
from an industrial standpoint is that it
u made the one time when no question
of local importance, no strike. no con-
troversy or dispute shall disturb the
minds Of labor. Toilers assemble and
either parade or hold festivals Of an
other character when speakers ad-
dress assembled multltudes.

THE ORIGINAL IDEA

Those who perfected the Labor day
idea had intended that it should be an
occasion distinct from other holidays.
1t was their intention that while pa
rades, picnics, festivals and games
were to be permissible, the chief fea.
ture Of the exercises was to consist
of lectures and discourses upon sub.
5ects relating to the welfare Of the in
dustrial masses. Every question of po-
litical. social and economic Importance
was to be thrashed out.
The present amplitied method of cele-
brating this annual holiday is great
improvement upon the original plan of
Its observance. While the original in
tentton. which was merely to attract n
gathering by means of parade, SO
that the leaders might address the peo-
pie upon the necessity and advantage
of cooperative effort and was quite
successfully carried out. the large num-
bers of wOrkingmen and their families
who came together formed throng
too unwieldy to be bestowed in any
edifice and too large to be allowed to
remain an encumbrance to passage in
the streets. So it became necessary.
in larger cities especially. to take ad.
journment to some pasture or open
grove where there was elbow room
for all. The necessity for creature
comforts caused the participants in
the parade to provide their families
with luncheon. which. being transport,
ed to the meeting ground and there dis.
rosed Of. gave the assemblage the
character Of n picnic.
Soon 1t became the custom to in
dulge In games and other recreations
after the speechmaking was over. and
thus little by little the sporting

IN TWO COUNTRIES

~ The conditions in Mexico and
China are similar, and both are illus
trative Of the chaotic state OF half
civilized society with which history in
great part deals When the whole
world was in such condition it was
taken as the natural and inevitable
thing But now this state of affairs
in any country is a menace to the
welfare of the world, and other ma
lions must in self defense take upon
themselves police supervision.
In the case of China, all the civilized
nations are joining forces to bring
about stable government, but in the
case of Mexico all other countries look
TO the United States to preserve civil
lied conditions.
Mexico is very much afraid of in
tervention by this country, but its pol
lev is of the exact nature to compei
us to intervene.
Americans are fleeing from Mexico
as they ought to do. but they are leav-
ing their property behind them, and
it will be absolutely necessary for
this country to protect that property
and the property of other foreigners
The best thing that could happen
to Mexico, from the standpoint of the
Mexican people, would be for the
United States TO intervene to establish
free and firm government, and to put
the common people on the path OF in
tellectual and industrial advancement

GROWERS OF GRAIN ARE
HELPED BY D0WNP0UR

LOS ANGELES, March 6.-"Yes, it
was grand rain," said w. B. Russell
of the wholesale grain and hay firm of
Martin & RUSSELL land even if it
doesn't send the price of hay down
at once it will keep it from going any
higher The market is still very short
and new stock will not be coming
along just yet, but if we get another
good soaking or two prices ought TO
drop considerably in about three
weeks. We shall then be in sight of
heavy shipments from the Imperial
valley. due about the middle of April
The great feature about this rain
is that it ought to produce plenty of
green feed. This means that it will
keep millions of dollars in the state,
in the pockets of cattle men. 1t is
quite a godsend to these men. Many
of them were on the point of shipping
their cattle into other states to get
green feed; While others We're so dis
heartened by the drouth that they
were ready to sell at almost any fig
ure. Now the rain has changed the
situation. Steers that you could have
picked up the other day at S15 or $50
a head are worth almost twice as
much.
Bean men, too, are delighted at
the rain. The outlook was far from
bright for them. Now they will be
able to SOW with every prospect of
getting full crop. And the same
may be said of the beet growers.
Every drop of water, too, is going
into the ground. 1t was all plowed
and ready to swallow as much as
was given it.
''As to barley, it must be remem-
bered that the high price of the last
few months was not caused by lack
of rain. 1t was due to short crop
in the East. We had to ship from
California to supply other states. Here
again there will not be any apprecia-
BILE decline in price for a few weeks.
But there should be some new barley
from the Imperial valley available ear
ly in May"

Although the Brawley farmers were
late in entering the dairy business,
the growth of the industry in this To-

most satisfactory, says the News. As

reached, the Valley Queen Creamery
Company is paying cream checks at
the rate of $1,000 a week, all to the
