The Cry of a Child.

1t has been said that the lonely
cry of a child in the dark is a far
more terrible arraignment of things
as they are than the most eloquent
speech, hot from the heart of an
angry man.
Is it? Listen!
A committee was probing the labor
situation in certain place and was
astounded to find a child of at
work. One of the party asked the
babe how long it had thus been en-
ployed.
Ever since l was" came the sim
pie response.
And yet in those little words, fall
ing so naturally from the lips of a
tot, is a more scathing expose OF
conditions than any novelist, dra-
matist or orator could frame, no
matter how carefully he picked and
chose his English.

PUTS 1T UP TO THEM.

Mayor Harter of Tillamook has
put the enforcement of the laws di-
rectly up to its advocates by appoint
ing Attorney H. T. Goyne, Rev. H.
w. Kullman, pastor of the M. e.
church, and Mrs. Bernice Dick and
Mrs. Retta Phillips as special police
men. The mayor said that he would
appoint others who were in the habit
of complaining about city affairs to
similar positions.
There is more merit in the sug-
gestion than appears upon the sur
face. 1t is very common for people
to declare that there is violation of
the law, and especially of the liquor
law, when as a matter of fact they
know absolutely nothing except from
hearsay. To put such people where
it is their business to know and SUD-
press violations will not only aid in
the strict enforcement of the laws
but it will rid the administration of
much unjust criticism. If the critics
are honest and ares willing to put
themselves to one-half the sacrifice
of time, business and friends which
a. man does who accepts city office.
then they will look into the matter
enough to know positively whether
or not the violations exist. In too
many instances they will be found to
be unwilling to take the trouble to
investigate before making charges.
This tendency is one of the influ-
ences which make it hard to secure
convictions when cases are brought
Juries and even judges and justices
are unconsciously rrejudiced by pre-
vious stories of violations, which
they knew to be either false or ex-
aggerated.
The people of Oregon will be in
terested to know the result of the
action of the mayor of Tillamook.

wARRING LABOR AND CAPITAL

Without further discussion of the
sentence imposed on the dynamite
conspirators, or without stopping to
deplore the awful crimes in which
they are convicted of having a share,
the question may we'll be asked at
this time, What can be done to bring
peace into the armed camp of mod
ern industriansm?
The American people are not in a
position to lecture Europe on the
folly of militarism, when in so many
of their industries the strikebreaker
and the rioter impose burdens equal
ly vexing and costly.
How can the bitter anger be re-
moved from the heart of the working
man as seen in so many employ
ments? Jail sentences may intimi-
date the most violent, but as long as
this spirit of anger remains, bricks
cannot be laid nor can iron be cast
efficiently.
In the old days when the employer
lived personally among his men,
calling many of them by name, some
by their first names, the problem was
easy. Today the employer is COM
monty some impersonal holder of a
heap of stock certificates in a safe
deposit box 900 miles away. Not
much room for friendship or mutual
adjustment there.
And yet, even in this day of great
industry, there are thousands and
thousands of large factory towns
where there seems to be a good de-
gree of peace between employer and
employed
Let the working man remember
that strikes are not won by dyna-
mite. Capital will pull it's money
out of mills and rut it into govern.
ment bonds befo"a it will give up to
the gun in the face.
On the other hand, let the capital
ist remember that never again can a
big business go on to large success
without making positive, consistent
efforts toward improving the living
conditions of it's men,

GOING BACK TO THE OLD HOME.

1t was grand trophy that Wood
row Wilson brought back to lay at
the feet of his mother town, Staun-
ton, Va. But perhaps while he was
carting around all the laurel wreaths
and shiny badges that the voters and
others have bestowed on him, he did
not feel nearly so biggity as some of
the rest of us on returning to boy
hood home.
There is an element of triumph in
returning to the place that raised
you if your life has been even passa-
bly, successful. For if you left at any
period after infancy, you were al
ways deprecated. No prophet is
without honor, etc. In that feeling
there is always an element of envy.
Village wise men hate to admit that
anyone who has had the same advan-
tages that they had could ever out
strip them.
It's very different when you re-
turn. No matter if it is a small
share of the worlds crowns of plum
der that you have been able to grasp.
you seem pretty big man to stay-at-
homes. The element of jealousy is
removed, since they are able to say
to themselves, that if they had had
your chance, they would have done
as well or better.
Even if the former fellow with
whom you went to school does call
you "Woodie" or "Tommie," don't
step too high nor snub him too
sharply. The simple names of boy
hood ought to have clink like the
old oaken bucket, after you have
been separated by your associates by
the formal handle of Mister"
There is something rather fine
about sharing an honor with the in
fluences that created you. Was it
not President Garfield who, on TAX
ing the inaugural oath, turned to
kiss his mother? Similarly it is a
gracious act of the president-elect to
give due honor to civic parentage.
To the boys who, are going out
from Ashland today, or who have
gone out in past years, it may well
be remarked, Don't forget, if you
win honors or wealth in the big
world outside, that a large share Of
the success is due to the early home
whose shelter and impulse made it
all possible!

POOR EXCUSE WORSE THAN
NONE.

A Seattle man gives as his excuse
for embezzlement:
Il had to pay alimony to my di-
vorced wife. | had to support my
present wife. And so-well, | made
a mess of it. l want to take my
medicine so that when / come out
l can make better start"
That's it. Lay it to the woman!
OF course the women compelled him
to marry them, and the first one
compelled him to so use her that she
got divorce and alimony. He knew
what he had TO face in a financial
way when he courted the second wife
while under the courts decree to pay
alimony. If he deliberately put HIM
self in position where he must steal
to support two women it is no ones
fault but his own and he should be
dealth with even more severely than

able motive. if an excusable motive

searchlight that throws upon indus
trial conditions; what poverty it lays
bare; what terrific wolfish greed it

And mark this: The incident did
not take place in crowded Italy, nor
the new commercial Germany, nor in
callous England, nor in any of those
countries against whose ''pauper out
put" the labor of American men has
to be protected" No, this took
place right in New York state!
Is America really the land of the
free and the home of the brave?
Are we a free people when our babies
are exploited? Are we a brave peo-
pie when we allow such conditions
to exist? Isn't il time to end the
rule of the dollar and begin the rule
of justice and human rights?

Marketing Farm CropS

Secretary Wilson is desirous of
having division of markets estab-
lished in the Department of Agricul-
ture. This is for the purpose of aid
ing farmers to market their crops to
better advantage. The record of
what the department has accom-
plished in the matter of improving
the crops and the methods of cultiva-
tion during the past three admins
trations in which Mr.. Wilson has
been at the head of the department
reads almost like a fairy tale The
world has ben searched for new cere-
ais, vegetables, ANIMALS and fruits.
Extensive experiments have been car
ried on in all the features of farm
! ing, orcharding and stock raising.
Education has. been the watchword
Due to the work Of the department,
supplemented by the various state
departments and agricultural col
leges, the value of farm products has
more than doubled in that time, this
year, reaching the enormous total of
$40, OOO,OOO,OOO
Having done so much and organ
lied so complete system of aid to
better farming, Secretary Wilson
now wants to give the farmer great
er returns for his labor by improving
his marketing. In spite of the high
prices prevailing, as the consumer
sees them, the original producer is
not getting them. There is too much
added to prices on the long route
between the producer and consumer.
We may take the one item of prunes
as an illustration. The grower sells
to the packer for 4 cents a pound a
hfgh-grade prune. The packer puts
it into marketable condition and sells
to the jobber at 6 to cents. When
the consumer in st. Louis goes to
the store to buy it, he pays from Is
to 20 cents. The price increases
from 400 to 500 per cent between
the producer and consumer. All
other food products increase in like
manner from 100 to 500 per cent.
What Secretary Wilson desires is
not to add to the consumers cost,
but to get the producer a better
price, by enabling him to do more
direct and associated marketing. He
says the consumer may also reduce
this difference at his end of the line
by doing more direct and associated
purchasing. The parcel post is not
going to do this work. 1t will help
in many things, but the great bulk of
farm products cannot be marketed in
that way. The farm is to be made
more profitable and attractive by
getting the farmers better prices, and
this the secretary aims to do without
increasing the cost to the consumer,
but rather by opening channels by
which the consumer may also be ben
Gifted.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

The Beautiful Side of 1.-THE Lodge"
, A stranger was waiting one day
last week for an interurban car near
smallish mid-western city. There
came hobbling to the platform an
old man, with gray beard sweeping
his breast, who sat down beside the
stranger with a sigh of relief at the
opportunity of resting.
'I've walked this fur" said the
old man, "but l won't walk back.
My feet git so sore with walkin' that
just about have 20 give it up"
How far have you walked?" asked
the stranger
From the Home" was the reply.
Il live there. Lived there about
three years now" The stranger was
one of those men who like to know
about things, so he asked his chance
acquaintance all about the Home. +"
Ours is state home," said the
| old gentleman. I'm the only one
from our lodge. My wife is with
me, and we have a room to ourselves
and everything we want There are
about 300 in the home, 40 or so old
women with their husbands, and
quite a lot of children-girls and
boys. We're all just a great big fam
lily. l never had so good a time in
my life as I've had in the home.
We have two good libraries and all
the books and magazines and papers
we can read. I've mended 1876 chairs

ter. | do lots of work. We've made
some of the best friends of our lives
there. Come over and see us some
day, and We'll show you a lot of old
folks and young folks having a happy
life, that would be in awful hard
pinches if there wasn't lodge to
take care of 'em.
Some of EN-, of course, aren't
quite as well satisfied as they might
be-but that's because they are old
and haven't any folks. It's nothing
against the home. That's all right
We have everything we want, go
where we please, and mostly we're
pretty happy"
His lodge pays $7S year for his
keep in the home, and buys his
clothing. Il had all the clothes

want" said he, but l guess I'll have
to have a new pair of shoes"
The lodge made application for the
admission of these people to the
grand lodge home, and after it was
granted sent a committee to see how
the old folks were situated and how
they felt about staying.
The stranger knew in a general
way that all the great secret orders
take care of their. destitute in this
way, but he went away with his
heart warmed toward these great
organizations. He went away from
this chance meeting ready to take off
his hat to the buttons. and charms

Oklahoma City.

Bob PEBBLES, professional of the
Topeka Country club, continues to
play record golf on the links Of the
various clubs in Oklahoma. His last
successful play was in Tulsa. when
he made q number of local and state
records. At Tulsa, while playing with
Arthur Jackson. professional of the
same town. they defeated Profess
SIGNALS Nichols of Muskogee and Nell
son OF Oklahoma City by up and
one to play.

test. He played the So holes in 1877,
Nelson in 40. Nichols in I'll and
jackson in 173. In this event. PEBBLES
and jackson won a purse Of 800 and
