Po~t"ffice Depopulated by Militia

Our local postoffice came very
near being depopulated last Monday
on account OF service orders requir-
Ing every member of Company II.
Second Regiment. to get ready for
duty In the strike zone. Four EN-
ployes of the local postoffice-two
carriers and two clerks-are MEM
bers of Company II. and Captain
Linvillc, and also Colonel W. A. Dav-
Is. were insistent that the employees
appear Tor duty at the armory at
once. In order to be ready to depart
for the strike zone at moments
notice.
Postmaster Dalton was In Denver
and did not get home until Monday
night and when he heard what had
happened there was something doing
right away. kilograms were sent to
the chief postoffice inspector In Den
yer and also to First Assistant Post
master General Roper in Washington
and Mr.. Dalton also talked over the
telephone with General Chase in Den
ver General Chase was amenable
to reason and told Mr.. Dalton that
whatever number he required of his
employees would be excused from
duty. First Assistant Postmaster
General Roper sent a telegram from
Washington to this effect: Request
commanding officers to excuse suffi-
cient number OF employees from mill
tary duty to handle the work proper
ly."
Postoffice employees. according to
the regulations. are exempt from
duty, but some of the higher-ups in
the Second Regiment eyidently
thought that military duty In the
strike zone was the most important

Loneliness,

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: A wo-
man living alone in the big world of
human activity left it of her own vo-
lition, taking with her the secret of
her undoing, whatever it was. She
emerged from one silence to enter a
greater silence.
The incident illustrates the loneii-
dies. There is no ache like the human
h~eartache; no pain like that of isola-
ton from those loved.
At best every individual lives entire
1y within himself. No one can be alb
solutely certain about anyone else; no
one certain Of any facts save those
which make up the measur of his own
existence.
What passes in the heart and brain
of any person is known only to that
person, and to no other.
Your subjective existence is your
own, and it is greater by far than the
objective. One can be SO lost in thought
as to be wholly oblfyious to all sur
roundings.
Sight of a lonely face at a window
may give the passer a flash of melan-
choly. or the mute appeal Of unuttered
desire. But who knows the thoughts
and emotions which fill the heart and
brain of that lonely being?
Every large city is full of lonely
people. Look from your own windows
into the window opposite and see the
wistful face peering at the hurrying
throngs.
Secrets which have embittered lives
go unuttered to forgotten graves,
be unburdened in many cases---and
this lis the loneliness that turns con-
ltentment into tragedy.

BOUNDING OUT A PROGRAMME.

Now comes the announcement from
Washington that the antitrust prob
lem is to be tackled.
1t was inevitable that the Wilson adj
ministration should turn it's attention
to the second horn Of the dilemma Of
the cost of living, now that 1t a es-
tablished a policy OF free trade, or
something approXimating unrestricted
commerce with other nations.
The Sherman antitrust Law liz not
reaching. It is making work for the
courts, and it has served to force the
largest commercial combines to can
ploy the best counsel to be found in
the land; but since the injection of the
word reasonable into q decision by
the United States supreme court, 1t
has been clear that q more specific law
has been needed.
1t is obviously a waste of time to in
sure the operation Of n natural law
the law of unhindered commerce be-
tween peoples living on opposite sides
Of an imaginary line-if another nat
u III l"N, SUM- bS IIoh VI 'NPP'V. 1890
demand, is to be set at naught,
The law of supply and demand is
not permitted to operate in the United
States. This assertion is proved by
reference to a single fact now widely
considered: the traffic in eggs and 9TH
or kinds Of produce. 1t has become
possible to store practically the entire
output OF the country in this n com
modify, and from the vantage point of
the cold storage sales are regulated
without reference to supply and de-
mand, but upon the greedy practice of
charging all that the traffic will bear
all that the public al pay. There
isn't much in the way of a time limit
governing cold storage commerce. Oc-
c~asiOnally inspectors condemn quaint
ties of meat and eggs; but these eX-
CeptiOns to a. general rule merely en-
phasiZc the fac that the cold storage
business is largely one of exploitation.
and that it is not based upon legiti-
mate business practices.
The reformed tariff can work moth
ing but hardship if eXploiters from
among our own ranks are permitted &c
control prices. The net result of the
present arrangement will be that the
producer may receive less for what he
produces, while the consumer will con
tinuc to pay as much as he formerly
paid, or more.

STARVING IN DAMS.

Charges have been made that lndl-
ans on the Standing Rock reservation
in North and South Dakota are in a
destitute condition and that unless
same radical move is made by the
government, some Of them will actual
ly starve to death before spring.
This statement was made to The
Forum last week by Rev. MEG. Beede,
Il man who lives with the indian and
knows their condition. 1t is not sufti
cient that some Indian agent make a
denial of this condition.. The people
of North Dakota demand an lnvestl-
cation.
Rev. Mr.. Beede charges that appal-
ing conditions exist on the reservation,
He says that hundreds of Indians lack
sufficient food at the present time. He
says their cattle have been crowded
off the range to make room for beef
trust cattle. He says their crops this
year were practically a failure. They
have not sufficient food nor money
with which to buy it.
The government replies that it is
just making d percapitA payment OF
$40 per head. What is $40, especially
improvident and many Of them viii
Immediately spend this $40 or a 5000
share of it. What would the average
white man do with $40 if he had beer
tJnnJ hr,Ir,fP far rnnnthc and I u,C
handed to him in a lump sum?
The fact is the Indian problem Is
still very much of a problem, especial
Iy on the Standing Rock reservation
and this problem seems to have reach,
ed an acute stage.
Rev. Mr.. Becdc declares that lack Of
sufficient nOurishment is becoming {
chronic condition on that reservation
The government will not allow the In
dams to dispose of their land. Whar
good does a quarter section or more
OF lane do to an old Indian, unable tC
work, and unable to sell it or raise ,
CEN of money on it?
That is the condition of many In
dams. They have land, but they cam
do a thing with it-eXcept work tt
and il they are unable to make
living from it, and many of them are
what can they do? Rev. MI. Beed
says they are slowly starving t.
death.
The Forum does not believe ther
is a demand to allow them to Sc
their land. Allowing them to sell ha
proved disastrous in the past. Their
are crooked white men waiting t
swindle them out of it. But ther
should be some method whereby the
can get the value out Of it, if the
are. not in condition to make a Twin
from it.
When a man, who owns a quartz
section of good land, does not hav
sufficient food to properly nourish hi
body, there is something RADICAL
wrong somewhere.

49, you know said daddy as Jack and Evelyn ran into the library. for
their usual bedtime story, "that Santa CLAUS is very particular that
little boys and girls should be obedient

I'm one house lived a very naughty little boy who was very apt to dis
obey. His daddy told him that Santa had left some Of his presents ahead OF
time, but that he had especially said he did not wish the little boy to look In
any of the closets and put him N his honor not to- or 1t he should look
Santa had said he would take away the presents.
"The little boy had asked Santa Claus for a horse and cart which ne
wanted more than anything in the world. ILL.,.
several days went by, and the little boy resisted the temptation of look
inc to se If the horse and cart had come. But one day he could stand 1t no
longer, 81 when every ne was out he looked into all the closets, and in the
last n he saw the long wished for horse and cart. Such a beauty as it was
too! The horse had a name and tail of real hair, and the cart was painted q
bright red. Oh, how delighted the little boy was, and he closed the closet
door and went back to his nursery very happy.
"As no n had seen him look into the closet the next day he thought he
would take another look. What was his horror to find that the horse and
cart had disappeared, and no sign Of It was anywhere to be found. He then
knew that Santa Claus only cared for good little boys who did what they were
told, and that night he cried himself to Sleep s. ashamed did he feel
THE next morning he decided to write to Santa ClAus. So he said:
"Dear Santa Claus-I know / vas a naughty boy and locked when I was
told not to- Please forgive me and give me back the horse al }cart and I will
never be a bad boy again
"Is put this note up the chimney, and the very next morning he found this
lovely answer:

when yu ret up you will find the horse and cart awaiting you. Your old
friend, Santa Claus"

may see how darkly vivid they stand
out in the general BROWNIES Of the

nothing changes but the trailing mist
and the shifting sunlight.
The hills and the pines might be say

BUSINESS CONDITIONS SOUND.

"A careful survey of business con-
ditions is made by the Security Ma
tibnaI bank of Minneapolis in it's De-
cemher bulletin says The Duluth
News Tribune. 1T finds nothing
alarming in the present situation, but
on the contrary, much cause for con-
fidence. The money situation in the
east is somewhat close. AS a reason
for this is given the immense business
operation Of the last two years on mar
w margins and the inability of the
banks TO respond fully to the money
demand because of an inelastic cur
rency.
1T is stated, and this is recognized
in all financial reports. that the most
prosperous section Of the country is
this middle northern lake region, in
Guiding Minnesota. Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, northern Iowa, Illinois and IndI
ana. This section is now supplying

Meat CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR
BACK HURTS OR BLADDER
BoTHERS-MEAT FORMS URIC
ACID.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated n when the wealth
er is bad you nave rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment. the channels often get sore and
i%rritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink.-Advt.
