not dawned upon the mine owners OF
the Michigan copper country. A strike
of $4,000 Is now rounding out it, fourth
month there because the employers re-
fuse to recognize the union OF their
employees ana to treat with its repre-
sentatives.
An investigation Of the strike by the
federal labor department, by the Sur
vey, and by q committee Of the Copper
Country Commercial Club-whlch cor
tainly can not be charged with being
unfriendly to the mine owners - oil
brought out the fact that the hatred
for the miners union on the part OF
the employers is alone responsible Tor
this bitter struggle. Offers Of mediation
and arbitration by the federal and state
labor departments were rejected by the
mine owners. They can not reconcile
themselves to the thought Of permit
ting workers to be members Of q labor
organization.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson rebuked
the mine owners for this attitude the
other day In no uncertain terms. His
criticisms can hardly be called unde-
served. The attitude Of the employers

the WOODBURY. COUNTY mlxUP.

Woodbury. county is in a serious
mixup as regards a county hospital for
consumptive. II appears that a PROPOSE
ton carried in that county TO build
such hospital at cost Of S10o, 900 for
erection and support Now the super
visors refuse TO build at such an ex-
pense and war is on between them
and DR.. kepford in the newspapers and
those of the residents of Woodbury.
who want the hospital built as the vote
called for.
1t would be interesting to have the
figures OF the vote. As the matter
stands the supervisors are in the light
of refusing to carry out the will of the
voters expressed at a election under
which the proposition had been given
the legal notice. Perhaps the count
small attention and that the expression
of the voters represented the will of
those anxious for the erection of the
hospital and the carelessness OF those
who failed to take notice and TO vote at
all on the question
At any rate other counties where
erection and maintena nce of a tuber-
culosis hospital is being considered
and that should include every county
in Iowa-may take notice 10 advantage
OF the mixup in Woodbury.. There
should be full discussion OF the pro-
ject and careful consideration OF the
amount actually needed TO create an
institution sufficient to the countyss
need. II $40. 900 will Go 1t the appropri-
alton should call for so much If more is
required it should be provided but the
appropriation should not include ex-
penditure FOR highly ornate buildings
or for anything but necessary expense
to make the hospital effective.
II the Woodbury. supervisors were
opposed TO such a building as the prop
osition specified and convinced that the
appropriation was excessive they
should have made their objections
clear to the voters before the election.
To deny and refuse TO obey the re-
suit OF a legal election puts the board
ii a rather serious light. And if the
voters were opposed 20 It the place 10

cause Or provocation.
This unwritten law business should
be checked by a little old fashioned
hanging. The idea that filtration or
worse calls for murder should be dis
couraged. The married woman who
does her best to attract other mems
admiration and attention isn't worth
killing for. The married man who
cultivates his leaning toward "attrac-
tfveness" isn't worth killing. And the
man who does killing under such cir
cumstances is altogether too danger
GUS to be at large. The surest and
most terrible punishment that can be-
fall the f1irtacious woman and he1

foolish and nasty little lives. Neithe,

tgnominy of a penitentiary sentence

It is such a f1inasy excuse, this un
written law. 1t is rarely taken advan

women. Generally the unwritten law
is appealed to by such men as Thav

[Des Moines Capital1
What IL the prospect Of reducing the
cost Of living while there is such con-
tinuous demand for the shipment OF
Iowa products to the east?
There are not sufficient number
Of packing houses In Iowa. Every AMI
NAL consumed in Iowa should be killed
and dressed In Iowa OF course we
have number of packing houses which
are doing good business. But the
majority OF the Iowa steers and hogs
are shipped to Chicago to be slaugh-
tered and dressed. to be shipped back
TO Iowa. to be sold to Iowa people.
Thus there is the expense Of double
hauling. The only logical explanation
Is that the Chicago packing houses can
get more out q the by-products than
could the local packer. But this ought
not to be sufficient.
The Iowa poultry Is shipped away. It
is almost Impossible to secure eggs in
the small towns, even at prevailing
high prices. The commission men buy

The sidewalks is for everybody, but
common decency should induce every

no reason why it should be the abb

TBurlinston Hawkeye,1

The state college at AInes is nothing
If not an eninently practical institu-
ton. Thus short course, is to be
opened for road builders at Ames. Nc
doubt much Of the poor road work in
Iowa is to be accounted for by the fact
that the people did the best that they
could. They knew no better. Under
the guidance Of expert engineers. the
road builders Of Iowa ought to learn
much within two weeks. There seemi
little doubt that the educational cam
paign IL going to lead to results In
Iowa and that the era Of road building
will begin soon in every county in
Iowa And the more real roads they
get the more they will want. And the
more real roads they get. the richer
will our farmers grow and the more
valuable will our farm land become.
