1T Couldn't Be Done"

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with chucke, replied
That maybe it couldn't, buthe would be
Who wouldn't say so till he d tried.
So he buckled right in, with the trace of grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be DONE and he did it.
Somebody scofed: oh, you'll never do that;
At least ever has done it,,
But he took off his and he took off his hat,
And the first thing knew he'd begun it
With the lift of his chin, and bit of grin,
Without any doubling quibbling
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There thousands to prophesy failure;
There thousands point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assa you
But just buckle in with bit of grin,
Then take off your and go to it;
Just start in to sing you tackle the thing
That cannot be done and you II do it,.

tion Of Women Workers.


tion of Women Workers.
That the passage Of the minimum
wage law in Oregon through the efforts
Of the industrial welfare commission
has made changes for the better in the
condition of working women and girls
was brought out In striking fashion at
recent session of the public hearing
conducted by the United States COM
mission on Industrial relations.
Father Edwin v. O'Hara, chairman
OF the industrial welfare commission,
told or the preliminary work Of that
organization looking to such law and
Its final accomplishment. He told OF
conditions that prevailed among wom-
en- workers prior to its passage and
how there has been a decided improve
ment in conditions since.
I'm our work we found girls were
living in surroundings In which none
should be asked to live" said Father
O'Hara. "Some were able to buy but
two meals a day and were livina
crowded together In small, dark rooms.
Because the minimum wage law re-
suited In more favorable conditions IL
has become popular. and the principle
that women workers are entitled to a
decent living wage always will be pop
uiar No woman in America should
be compelled to work for less"
Father O'Hara said 1t had been ar
gued that as a result of the minimum
wage law many women would lose
their positions, but the commission. he
said. had yet to hear of half a dozen
such. He said that not only were
there no fewer girls and women en-
ployed now as a result OF the law. but
that in some lines. particularly in mer-
camille and Office work, there has been
notable increase in the wages of wo-
men and girls.

EARNINGS GO DOWN
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company's Report
Shows Loss

In his annual report at Denver
on Nov. 81, to Colorado Fuel &
Iron company stockholders, Pres
ident Welborn stated that the de-
crease OF earnings for the year
ending June 80 is $6.5t2,86 No
mention is made of the other mil
lions lost since that time. The
miners strike, says the official, is
responsible for the greater portion
of this deficit.
In referring to the company
stores, President Welborn exult-
ingly declared; ut is significant
fact which bears evidence of the
favor in which our mine stores are
held by the workmen, whether en-
ployed or idle, that the retail sales

they were during th> last preced-

In commenting on this ferture
OF the report, Editor Huston of the
United Labor Bulletin, says:
I'm view of the fact that all en-
employees, strikebrakers and guards
are herded in the coal camps like
sheep and are not permitted to
trade elsewhere. this increase was
to be expected"
President Welborn is regretf,,l
over the outside assistance that is
being given his striking employees.
but makes no mention of the
hordes of strikebreakers and thugs
imported by his corporation for
the purpose of continuing the
violation of State laws-the reason
for the strike.

A WEAPON OF VALUE.

. Remember the union label is
. your strongest weapon. 1t is just
. as important to spend your wages
. in your own support as 1t is to
. make heroic efforts to gain
: wages.
. The union label is weapon of
. especial value In hard times.
. When the volume of trade is
small merchants are particularly
sensitive. and this Is the time
. when the demand of wage earn
ers for union label goods can be
. made most effective.
. In good times OF bad times
; wage earners should demand
union label goods. When you
, touch the business mans pocket
you are getting very close to his
; heart. and If you wish to see
. union conditions established In
: the industries of our country all
you have got to do is to convince
; the merchants that they must
carry union made goods or lose
trade.

 all were in place. Even the side show bankers busy with their bally- hooing, had their place in the scene.
 Director Frederick Sullivan was so anxious to give full justice to the cir GUS atmosphere that, despite the ex- pense and the shortness of the scene, an entire circus outfit was used. The effect on the screen is strikingly real istic, and they fewer will just natural ly imagine the cries of the fakers and the blatant trumpeting of the circus band.

Hualahai. The only surface stream on the island are found along the northeast coast between Hilo and Ko- hala. Waipio River, according to the United States Geological Survey, IS the largest stream on the island and has been partly developed for irriga- tion. At Kapoho, on the east point of the island, warm water flows from seams in the rocks. These "warm springs" flow into pool about 100 feet long. 25 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. The pool is entirely surround ed by rocks and it's color varies in shade from beautiful blue to vio- let. Waiapele, or Green Lake is a body of fresh water in the pit of a old crater near Kapoho. This lake covers an era of about acres and IS fed by springs below the surface. A pumping plant takes water from this lake for domestic use and for irriga- tions.

GROWTH OF BEACH RESORT.

According to the last census, Long Beach, Cal, Is the fastest growing city in the United States. In 1902 the population was approximately 2,000; in 1910 it was nearly 20,000-a 6S5 per cent increase. Today it's popula- tion is reckoned at 45,000. Long Beach is one of the youngest tourist resorts in southern California and has been "dry" many years. Other coast cities are as favorably located as to climate, environment, and proximity to Los Angeles" says Mayor Wheal- ton, "and Long Beach is larger than any of them, it's banks and bank clear ings and assessed valuation of prop erty far surpassing them" The prohi- bitten of the liquor traffic, he declares, has contributed more than anything else to this phenomenal growth and prosperity, 50 per cent of the popula- tion coming there, he believes, be- cause it is saloonless town.

is no easier way that does not lead to failure. Liberty with justice can not be attained until we hold fast to the eternal principles. ." There is certain reaction from new devices in government, and we must remember that when reaction goes too far the pendulum will swing back so much further.
 The shortcuts have been plentiful ly supplied in certain Western States, and the certain reaction" is already under way.
 In Oregon under the referendum, the voters began by adopting all mea- sures submitted. Two years ago they adopted 10 out of 37 This year they adopted 8 out of 29.
 In California the toy is still new, and the voters seem to have swallow ed everything at the late election, in cluding acts designed to restrain cor porations, but so worded as to favor corporations.
 In Wisconsin, where the shortcut idea has been raging triumphant for some years, the voters last election rolled up great majorities against amendments designed to embed in the Constitution the referendum and the recall and other propositions.
 There is no easier way than the old way, and eternal vigilance now, as ev- CT, is the price of liberty and honesty and progress in government.

FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT. tBy REV. JOSEPH HENRY CROOKER.)
 Let us see how the liquor trade works out as business proposition in a small village of 5000 people Count ing the tributary country folk), with four saloons. AS the average per cap- ita expenditure for drink in the United States is over twenty dollars a year. on that basis this village would spend $6O,00O annually for liquor. But, to be conservative, we will cut this in two and make it $30,000. That sum, very large for so small community, we may set down as the charge against the saloons. The business gains from them are practically as follows: For licenses. $1,OOO ($25O being the aver age village feel; for rent (the keepers living above their bar-rooms), $2,500; for household expenses of four fami lies, $4,000 Ca very high estimate); making $7,500 the amount of money which the business spends in the town "a very liberal calculation. That Is, for every four dollars paid over the bar, only one comes back to the finan- cial interests of the community. An outgo of four dollars and income of one dollar. Surely, not much profit in that!
 Or to put the matter in another way: For every four dollars that goes into any one of those saloons, three dollars never comes out again to do business in that town; the grocer on one side loses a dollars trade, the market on the oth- CT side loses dollars trade, and the merchant across the street also loses a dollars trade for every hour through out the year!

OPPOSITION TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

This from Pennsylvania hotel keeper, who for four years was secre- tary of the Philadelphia Liquor Deal ers' association and should know whereof he speaks:
 Liquor men who say that all this agitation is being created by temper ance cranks are not awake. The oppo- sition comes from many men who have liquors in their cellars; it comes from the big corporations who are making this fight on economic grounds; it comes from big merchants-they them selves may drink and many of them do, but they don't want their em- ployees to drink"

NOURISHMENT IN BEER.

It is now possible to demonstrate with mathematical certainty that, so far as enriching the blood is con- cerned, the flour that will lie on the point of a knife affords more nourish- ment than four measures of the best Bavarian beer; and that anybody who drinks a measure of beer daily would thus imbibe in one year about as much nourishment as is contained in a pound of bread.-Baron Justus von Liebeg, in Chemische Briefe.
