one Of the strongest criticisms Of the
act, both employer and workman
claiming his contribution TO b too

workman earning moro than 9S.7O

man pays eight cents. the employer
six cents ana the national treasury
four cents or it, equivalent. In addi.
tion the state pays the cost Of central
administration and large grants -
wards hospitals and medical bensnts.
When . workman's wages ore less
than S3.7s week. he pays less PRO
portion to the insurance fund and the
employer pays moro. Insured wonsn
pay one-fourth less than insured men.
The workman thus buys 10 cents
worth Of insurance for eight cents.
Those whose wages are less than S1.7S

act makes It illegal for The employsS

cases where employers maintain their

said. I'VE used to get Irish, Swedes

and Americans, ! see
Them? We call all them that's Am
ericans-hoboes. You think hoboes is
tramps. They amt. Hoboes is labor
like this tia. amt foreigners. We di-
vide hoboes into three ciasses-gay
cats, fuZzies, and ringtails. That's what
they call themselves. A gay cat is q
Teller who'll go out and work until he's
got fifty dollars maybe, and then come
back and burn it. A fuzzy won't work
after he's got ten or fifteen to spend or
a cheap mans celebration, and ring
tail Is a guy who won't take a job out
side often, but spends most of his time
polishing signs sweeping out, carrying
sandwich, and the like of that The
ringtail is next the tramp class. He's
on his way to panhandling."
A little more explanation and it be-
comes clear that the class called Am
ericans-the hoboes-are men travel
ing downward. The labor agent sees
shift after shift in the mass. but the
men who are freshest in the hopper are
always on the top, those whom the
agent has known longest are always
disappearing at the bottom of the
world of a days work. Why?
&C. and G., triple X" answers the
agent.
The G. and ca"
Cemetery and Graveyard brand" he
explains, much disguised.
You mean"
Booze. Yes, sir. Half OF our bust
ness is with American Informative

ness they do is with booze. Booze has
EN-. its cutter than any man that
ever came in this shop. And amt 1t
funny There amt any man who don't
think he's cutter than booze"
They speak of booze in the man
market as if it were a person. 1t is the
only subject which makes the labor
agent show little superstitious fear
on his face as he mentions the name al
most under his breath--as if booze were
listening and would be angry.
Three men, hollow eyed. shaky. and
sullen, came and leaned on the count
er.
They had forty eight dollars among
'em yesterday" said the agent.

They're fuzzies," said the interpreter
when he had assigned them to rail-
road bridge job. They'll be back and
repeat in four weeks"
and this I want you to notice." the
agent said. "See those three Bulgarians
out front on the sidewalk? Each has
got money belt. Between the three
there's fourteen hundred dollars. Now
there are three outside, and here were
three others that we fixed up. Three
foreigners climbin' up, three native
born slidin' down. And here's where
they meet. They meet-not in threes,
but in hundred thousand lots. They
meet right here."-Colliers Weekly.

which put Sheriff Hogan. OF Jonea

made 1t impossible for Dalton to secure

feat, declares 1t will make him bet

Local politicians have been working
on blooms" for Office in Des Moines
the past week. One of those given
a publicity boost with utmost cheer
fulness was the boom Of Ed Meredith,
publisher Of Successful Farming, for
the democratic candidate for governor.
The other boom aired was that of
Howard Clark, lawyer, for United
States senator on the bull moose tick
ct. Mr. Meredith Is no novice In the
political game. He was, with George
A. Wells, Of the Western Grain Dealers
Association. last year principal hacker
of the Holden boom for the republican
nomination for governor and did more
to finance it than any other. He also
was interested with Holden in the
Idaho land propositions. Mr. Clark also
has had a hand in politics. He last
year wrote a considerable part of the
republican platform and has been very
active in republican state conventions.
Both Meredith and Clark are quite
prosperous and If candidates, would be
liberal in financing their respective
campaigns.
It is expected the republican state
committee will be called together at
an early day. 1t is possible there
should be some preliminary work long
before the time for the primary cam
paign. There are two places on the
committee that will have to be filed
by the committee. These are in the
First district. where the removal OF
Charles Grail from Fairfield to Cali
forna. leaves a vacancy, and in the
Eighth district, where the removal OF
r. V. Lucas. Of Bedford. to Mason
City makes a vacancy. Unless the
state committee meets before the time
Of the state convention these places
will be filled in June, but probably x
the committee meets early they Will
be filled sooner. 1t is probable that

safeguarding Radium For the Public

Congress should authorize at once
the withdrawal from entry OF all pup
lie lands containing materials from
which radium may be extracted. Secre'
tary Lane. has had the forethought to
urge such action while there ID yet
time to prevent these precious mineral
deposits from falling into the hands OF
corporations which would work them
for private profit. The federal bureau
of mines has invented n process OF ex-
tration, which will be tried out at the
new Denver laboratory, and with Its
aid the government hopes to be able
to make available for public uses tho
lions share Of the radium produced in
this country. If the radium supply
were left In private control 1t would
be put up to the highest bidder, anu
most of it would continue TO slip away
to Europe.
The government in carrying out Its
policy of conservation of natural re-
sources has Withdrawn from entry
large areas of timber, coal and other
mineral bearing public lands. The lum-
Der and fuel supplies thus preserved
will be of great benefit to another
generation. But their benefit will be
limited compared with that Of Won
