II. X. Fridal, another successful
pioneer of the Bear River valley, has
sent at cur invitation a very concise
article covering some features of
life in the Bear River valley and
coming as it does from Practical
and successful farmer, we leave it
to those who read it to draw their
own conclusions:
| came to Bear River valley in
1873 and have reB.aed here ever
since. This valley since then has
undergone a complete change, the
only thing which is real natural are
the mountains on the east and west
of this valley with their waterline
along their sides marked by the wat
crs of old Lake Bonneville ages ago.

as they cropped the grass closely
the sagebrush soon appeared. We
raised considerable rye on dry land.
The land would be broken and SOW

layoffs. and both alternatives mean
an ultimate loss to the empioye.

his opinion.

Has Increased Efficiency.
England had two provisions for the
minimum wage and a maximum
working day. One is called the
trades boards law. This board has
jurisdiction over the ''sweated" in
dustries. i'm which women are en-
ployed for the most part. 1t has the
power to investigate wage cend tions
and to order a minimum scale. Such
regulation already has taken place
and. in the opinion of Sir Hugh, the
results have been 10 increase eff
cheney. e.
The other minimum wage provision
was the outgrowth of the famous
coal mine strikes of 1872, in which Sir
Hugh was a principal figure because
of his interest in the mines of Dur
ham county, and the iron stone in
dustries of Yorkshire, also affected
by this law.
After long conferences between
men and owners, Premier Asquith in

Labor and Liquor.-Behold what a
great blaze the small spark kindleth.
The strike at the Henrici restau-
rant appears to be a small thing, but
it is pregnant with tremendous cOnse-
quences. .,
If the result of that strike affected
nobody but the employer and EN-
ployes directly involved it wouldn't
amount to much. But already it has
involved practically the entire en-
ploying class on one side and all labor
on the other. ....
The Hotel and Restaurant Keepers
union first got back of Henrici's, then
the State Street Store Owners union
got back of that, and gradually the
brewery trust, the organized liquor
interests and other capitaistic unions
are being involved.
On the other hand, back of the
cooks and mattresses is the Woman
Trades Union League, the Chicago
Federation of Labor and whatever
friends union labor can muster.
There is some significance also in
the fact that many women of infu-
ence have interested themselves in
the fight of the mattresses for living
wages, one days rest in seven and
more humane working conditions.
am glad of this because it indi-
Gates that women are disposed to
take their position politically on the
human instead of the dollar side of
the industrial war, which must be-
come eventually a political war.
1t is, possible that it may bring wo-
men voters and the workers closer
together politically.
1t may eventually throw labor on
the side of the drys and against the
vets in Illinois then the nation.
l have talked with workingmen

the side of personal liberty-Which

Some of these men have gone to
Springfield to help the liquor interests
to save their business from attacks
by the drys.
They say now, however, that the
liquor interests have not only been
hostile to woman's suffrage, but have
helped the employers kill legislation
in the interest of labor.
Some of these workers have said
to me recently that if the liquor in
terests are going to fight their efforts
to get one days rest in seven through
labor organization, then they will be
driven to get that one days rest
through statewide prohibition.
The saloon has always been an ac-
tive influence in politics. One reason
is that it has been the poor mans
club, the only social center open to
the workingman. But most of the sa-
looms are now owned or controlled by
the brewers, and sal0onkeepers, like
the small retail business men, have
become little more than clerks for
rich brewers.
The brewers line up with the capi-
taistic class in the war of labor 1t
must follow that labor eventually will
be at war with the liquor interests,
and that may force labor to prohibi-
ton as a measure of self-defense.
am reporting here what know
is running through the minds of
workers who see the situation
more clearly than do their richer and
more ignorant brothers who happen
to be in the employing class.
Labor is learning that the rich man
who has no heart has a pocketbook,
and that the poc'Ietbook nerve is the
most sensitive nerve the average cap
italist has. And they are learning to
strike at the pocketbook, when the
heart and mind are closed to their

Washington, d. G. During the

great deal in the newspapers about
the Colombian treaty. Colonel
Roosevelt opened the lombard
ment the other day when he re-
turned from Europe. He said a
lot OF things about the treaty and
the foreign policy of President
Wilson which neither the colonel
nor any other sane man believes.
The nations of the earth are NOT

We have ceased to bully the little

that we once did wrong.

IT'S AMERICAS WAY.

OF course, that is not the way
England would do it. But what
do we care about how England
would do it? We must determine
how the United States the most
enlightened republic in the history
of the world-will do it, If Co
lombia were a great, strong coun-
try, with an efficient army and
navy, we might hesitate, fearing
the world would misunderstood
our action. Fortunately, no one
imagines we are afraid of Colon
bia. We can be just without being
suspected of cowardice.
Let us consider the history of
this controversy with Colombia.
Get out your old geography and
find the map of the western hemis-
phere. Down there in the north
eastern corner of South America is
Colombia, a group of good sized
states. The northernmost state
the one which looks like a goose's
neck-is Panama, and it connects
South America with North Amer
lea
For hundred years the United
States has professed to be Colon
bias friend. In one of our treaties
we guaranteed its territorial integ-
rity and at all times we have in
sisted that it was one of the bene-
ficiaries of the Monroe doctrine.
Some years ago Colombia granted
French capitalists franchise to
build canal across Panama. The
Frenchnen invested SlOO,0OO,O00
and went on the financial rocks.
Colombia took the position that the
Frenchmen must complete their
contract or forfeit their property.
Naturally the contractors struggled
to save at least part OF their in
vestment. They pleaded in vain
with the Colombian authorities,
and then they turned to certain
astu,e gentlemen in New York who
possessed plenty Of money and vast
quantities of political pull. The
New Workers purchased the hold
inps of the Frcnohmen for song
and opened up negotiations with
the United States government with
a view to unloading on Uncle Sam.
Colombia warned the Washing
ton authorities that the Wall Street
men had nothing to sell, pointing
ont that the Frenchmen had for
feited their franchise by failure to
comply with its terms.
