u. S. Commission
Defines Various Causes
For Industrial Unrest
Examine More Than Five Hundred Witnesses
Of all Classes and Creeds, From New York
to San Francisco Finds DepIOrabI Distust
Of the Law, the Courts and the Officers

! Only chaos come out of that doc
trine, for the right OF one side to
violate its agreements would carry
like right to the other side, and
agreements made in that spirit would
better be left unmade. industrial
chaos, however, is the ayowed goal
of the /. W. W., fact that is bringing
that organization into increasing dis
favor with reputable trades unionists.
Finds Deplorable Lack of Confidence
in the Law.
The grave feature Of the report is
the conclusion that there is rapidly
growing feeling that redress for in
juries and oppression can not be Sc
cured through existing Institutions
that is through the law and the agen-
cies Of the law.
Many employers" says the report
"are equally insistent that the law,
the police and the courts have ceased
to give them a proper measure OF
protection in their property interests.
The law, they say, is being rapidly
shaped TO serve the selfish interest OF
the working class; the police, under
the alleged domination OF the unions,
refuse to arrest strikers, even when
they openly commit crimes, and the
courts, moreover, are becoming more
and more subservient to the workers.
On this point the commission itself
seems not clear, for it asks the ques-.
ton whether or not the legal machin-
cry is no longer applicable to eco
nomic conditions, or whether the trou-
bic lies in amazing ignorance of the
law and failure to understand the
meaning of inalienable rights.
The report is signed by Frank P.
Walsh of Kansas City. chairman; Pro-
fessor John X. Cummons of Madison,

Public Slow to Study Reports of Com

A discouraging fact about these ex-

Discrimination to study the published

is before congress. always, he said, an
amazing bulk Of official reports which
even congressman will not read or

are passing constantly from one IN

usually attended by insignificant audi

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Editor Day Book:-Why are unfor-
tunate women blamed for the, social
evil'' while little is said of their pa
irons? There must be two parties in
this "evil." 1t is as though prohibi-
tionists should condemn the seller Of
liquor and excuse the drinker. A par
allel case is found in the former status
of actors. They were of low order,
but mobiles" might watch them act.
Evidently these women furnish
what reputable men demand. If it be
right to supply the demand, the wo-
men should not be disturbed. If
wrong, the men should be traced and
punished. The lot of these women is
bad enough. Let them alone, or fur
nish opportunity, via single tax, for
the 5000 Chicago girls annually fore
ed into the business.-c. F. Hunt, $50

business. I am told that many big
firms in Chicago have men in their
employ who entertain out-of-town
customers by showing them the
sights. When the EYerleigh Club was
one of the best advertised resorts in
the world, sedate business men from
other cities who came to Chicago to
buy goods were taken there as Fart
of their entertainment; and the en-
ployes who bought wine and blew
themselves to give customers a good
time were allowed big expense ac-
count for that purpose.
But only when big crusade is on
can the newspapers run stories of the
underworld and let the whole town
IN on the sport. All the editors need
is a plausible excuse.
How many of us are as "good" as
we would like to have others think
we are?
Our Bathing Beaches.-When near
10000 people turn out to splash in the
lake on Sunday, at the local bathing
beaches, that's a good indication.
There is a big bunch of happiness
and good feeling mingled in that mob
of bathers. And happiness and good
feeling are worth while.
A great big share of the bathers are
young girls. And another big share of
them are boys around the ages of 18
to %. The one big drawback to most
of the bathing beaches is that some
of the boys seem to be out at the
bathing beaches more for the purpose
of bothering the girls than for the
purpose Of joining with the bunch and
having a good time.
There are life guards out in row.

How to Kill DandeliOns

Washington, ID. c., May 1S.-The
best way to kill individual dandelion
plants is to cut off their tops and put
a pinch of salt (about thimbieful)
on the surface of each exposed root.
This will kill most of them. AS salt
if generally applied, ruins soil, the
salt should be used sparingly and ap-
piled only to the root tops of the
dandeliOn. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has for some time
been testing various poisons to dis
cover the most efficient means of Grad
icating this troublesome weed from
lawns, but although others have been
found satisfactory, the common salt is
best for general use as there is no
danger accompanying it's application.
The departments specialists say
that much effort is wasted in merely
cutting off the dandelion top without
applying some poison to the root that

a thicker growth.

Home From Ell Paso.

c. w. Bearnes, of Geneva, Nebraska
is in the city spending a visit with his
friend, A. H. Smith. Mr.. Bearnes
is returning from visit down at Ell
Paso, Texas, and states that the con-
dition of the people, Mexicans there
is very bad.
He witnessed the arrival of several
train loads of Mexicaas into Ell Paso
and states that they were the dirtiest,
hungriest looking lot of humanity that
he had ever seen. There were 5000
of these on the trains that came in
on this day.
He also tells of being held up, but
not by the Mexicans. There is band
of American outlaws there that COM
NIT all sorts of crime. After relev-
ing Mr.. Bearnes of all of his money,
they told him if he "spuealed" they
would kill him. He did not squeal.
Mr.. Bearnes says he is certainly
glad he got away from Mexico" He
will remain here several days and visit
other points in Arkansas before re-

chance to work overtime in informing
corporations of the state the difference

incomes must be made to that depart
ment, but many corporations are un-

to secure blanks from the Tax Com

partment state it is not necessary for
any one to send there for blanks, for
they will be sent out when the time
comes for reporting, without requests.

The Little Rock petition is considered
by the saloon interests to be stronger
than the Argenta petition, and even
if several hundred names are stricken
off, there would still be an ample ma
jority under even the most liberal es-
innate of the city's population. Some
prohibition leaders are even recon-
mending that the fight be given up,
and everything centered upon the
campaign for statewide bill in the
Legislature next January. The six
teen saloons that have re-opened in
Argenta at noon Friday have been
doing rushing business, and the
bridge between the two towns is
thronged continually.

Unique Entertainment

On yesterday afternoon a rather
unique entertainment was given to
Mrs. Hattie Arthur of Marionette,
Wisconsin, by Mrs. H. B. Mckenzie in
her beautiful suburban home.
Each guest carried a pretty bag
containing fancy work.
For an hour the needles flew indus
triously while conversation also flow
ed merrily,-the ladies moving about
occasionally to inspect each others
work,-the guest of honor, Mrs. Ar
thur, seeming happiest of all in max
ing dainty lace gown for the dolly
of the hostess little daughter.
By and by the hands grew still as
civics, park and a possible library
became the topic of discussion, and
the conviction seemed to prevail that
these things must be accomplished.
This proved that while women have
not lost the art or taste for the dainty
things like tattling and embroidery,
their minds are also filled with large
things that build up the community.
Too high praise cannot be given to
the delicious plate lunch served by the
hostess.
Miss Myrtle Butcher furnished mu-
sic, which added much to the pleasure
of the afternoon.
Those present were; Mrs. Arthur,
Mrs. Fannie Young, Mrs. w. H. Terry,
Mrs. Carrie Scott, Mrs. Gertrude Mon
Grief, Mrs. C. C. Handy, Mrs Guy N.

heretofore expected the companies to
provide their own horses, but the next

for the purchase of one set of horses
