TEN "DEMANDNENTS"

One Of the great industries Q
Western Canada is that of the sal
mon fisheries, The busiest place
in that country are the canneries il
the seasons when "the silver horde
comes flashing in from the outer
ocean depths to fall prey to the
nets and pens" of the fishers. The
season is 80 short that the harvester.
must make quick work of it to in.
sure good profits.
On the walls of one Of these canning
establishments visiting committee
recently found posters bearing in
big type the ten demandments'
which the owners make on their
employees. They are as follows:
First--Don't lie. It wastes my
time and yours. | am sure to catch
you in the end, and that is the wrong
end.
Second--Watch your work. not
the clock. A long days work makes
a long day short, and short days
work makes my face long.
Third-Give more than / expect
and will give you more than you
expect. can afford to increase
your pay If you increase my profits.
Fourth--You owe SO much to
yourself If you cannot afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out of debt or
keep out of my shops.
Fifth--Dishonesty is never an ac-
cident. Good men. like good wo-
men, never see temptation when
they meet it.
Sixth-Don't do anything here
which hurts your self-respect. An
employe who is willing to steal for
me is willing to steal from me.
Eighth--It is none Of my business
what you do at night. But if dis
sipation affects what you do the next
day and you do half as much as !
demand. you'll last half as long as
you hoped.
Ninth--Don't tell me what I'd
like to hear, but what ought to.
hear. ! don't want a valet for my
vanity. but one for my dollars.
Tenth--Don't kick IL kick. If
you're worth while correcting you're
worth while keeping. Idon't waste
time cutting specks out Of rotten
apples.

.TOSAVE MURDERERS
Initiative Petitions to Abolish
Capital Punishment Are
Being Circulated

"A Phoenix dispatch says that with
the obvious and admitted intention
of obtaining enough recognition to
the movement to give Governor
Hunt good excuse to further re-
prieve five murderers now being
held in the state prison at Florence
under sentence of death, George H.
McNichol. q local socialist leader, is
experimenting the circulating of
petitions of initiative for an amend
ment to the constitution Of the state,
abolishing capital alpunishment. These
petitions are being circulated in
Maricopa,' Gila, Pima and Pinal
counties. John D. Deneen, of Phoe-
nix, who is associated with McNichol,
visited the state house with his peti-
ton and held a conference with Le-
roy A. Ladd,, secretary to the COVER
nor, in connection with the petitions.
Ladd also admitted he knew. but
would not tell. who was circulating
the petitions in ella and Pima and
that arrangements were being made
to get copies of the pet,t'on in cir
culation in the other counties of the
state.

campaign admit that it is their iI-
tention to get as many signatures to
