that what The Day Book featured inqf
it's article was not conditions in Cahzgo
fornia, Colorado, New Jersey or West ri
Virginia, but conditions in Chicago
department stores and the Chicago
packing industry. We are interested,
of course, in conditions of the work
ing class everywhere, but as ChicagoT
people we are interested most in Chi-zs
cago conditions. Why did the Daily r.
News miss all reference in Mr.. Creel'ste
address concerning Chicago works.
eFs? IT
The answer is self-evident: Chi-tg
cago department stores and the Chi7sf
cago packing industry advertise init
the News. 1t does not pay to offend III
good advertisers. Moreover, if thee
social unrest that els now or lately7s
has been so common" can be kept n
at a great distance, as lin California,
Colorado, New Jersey or West Vir-rb
ginia," it will keep the working classTs
in Chicago from becoming undulYU
troublesome. ..,oI2,
The startling thing for Chicago nj
people is Mr.. CreePs statement as res
ported in The Day Book, that thee
average wage for 6,226 workers in
the packing industry here in ChicagoJt
was $12.26 a week." and that While,fi
food and clothing have increased 100 NJ
per cent, wages have increased onIYto
20 per cent. ~ 800
The conclusion is, first, that the ii
working class will get only what it
can take by force from the employ J
ing class. Second, that a capitalist r.
newspaper, depnding on it's advertis- a
ers for it's success, cannot give Work7dt
ing class organizations an honest n
news service. Third, organizations 70
by the working class on the industrial n
field, as expressed by labor unions TT
and on the political field as expressed -
by the Socialist party, are the means
bywhich the working class can force -
decent living conditions for every o.,

CREEL'S SPEECH.-Socialist and
labor union leaders claim that the
capitalist press colors and misrepre-
sents news regarding these move
ments. The kept press" generally
deny this. On Sat, March 8, the
Daily News and The Day Book each
had a report of the speech of George
Creel in the Sherman house.
The Daily News article as printed
is given here: "The four chief causes
of the social unrest are: Disregard of
the law by employers and employees;
attitude of the course which place
property rights above human rights;
unfair distribution of the products of
labor; low wages; and the greatest of
these is low wages.
LOW wages; wages insufficient to
allow a man to live in healthy and
sane fashion may be found at the
bottom of most of the troubles of
most of the states now in the grip of
the social unrest. When we read of
Iawless acts committed in such states
as California, Colorado, New Jersey
and West Virginia, where social I'M
rest is now or has been lately so COM
mon, it is always the employees or
the ex-employes who are committing
the IawIess acts. However, upon
careful investigation, it appears that
the employers are just as guilty of
Iawlessness as the men employed by
them"
Now, by referring to The Day
Book of Sat, March 6, you will see
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-03-10

The people don't seem to have any
idea of the pursuit they have taken in
regards to drugs. Every man has
some way to admit certain amount
of poison to his system which every
system requires a certain amount of.
1t may be in such mild form as cof-
fee, wine, whisky or anything that
will relieve the nerves. They are
more than twO-thirds of the people of
this country that are drug users of
some kind. Talk about abolishing
crime. History will never know so
much crime as will be in the future
caused by the adjustment of drugs.

fIaxsecd For Calves.

1t Is very often desirable to use a
little ground f1axseed in skinmilk when
the calves are changed from Whole
milk to skimmill. says Hoard's Dairy
man. The ground flaxseed is rich in
oil, while oilmeal is rich in protein.
and so is skimmill. \ teaspoonful Of
ground f1aXseed is often added at the
beginning to each mess of milk fed to
the calves. 1t may be gradually in
creased until a tablespoonful is fed.
1t is the practice of some to cook the
ground f1axseed the same as oatmeal
and feed 1t in this way. but e%xleri-
ments have shown that there is no adj
vantage in cooking it, ana unless care
is taken there is likely to be a disad-
vantage, as tho cooked ground faxseed
Is likely to sou If sour feed is fed it

Every chick that starts on the winter
campaign is entitled to a good start,
says the Kansas Farmer. To have a
good start it should be free from lice.
At times the chicken can keep itself
free from lice when it has the proper
environs and the right kind OF busting
material. At other times it must be
helped by the owner to get rid of these
pests. This can be done by busting the
chicken with insect powder. After the
chicken is In proper condition the
building where it is to pass the winter
should be in proper condition before It
occupies it. The house should be clean
and sanitary. free from lice and mites.
we'll protected from cold weather and
especially free from all drafts. With
the chickens and the house in good on
dition to start with. there should be
comparatively little work to keep them
In the same condition all winter. This
would mean lots Of eggs ut the time
that eggs are worth the most money.

suggested that by history and condi'
tons China was better suited to exist
as a monarchy than as a republic and
that 1t was unfortunate that the ut
tempt Of the Manchu dynasty to estab-
l1sh a constitutional monarchy had fail
ed because of the revolution. So fur
MS the establishing of n monarchy ut
the present time Is concerned, that
could be done, l pointed out, only upon
three conditions:
First.-Opposltion on the part Of the
people leading to disorder should not be
aroused and matters would nave to be
adjusted SO that the foreign overs would
not become dissatisfied and stir up ex-
ternal trouble hat would mean a loss Of
China's power.
Second.-Some sort of An arrangement
liking succession would have to be made.
II 1t were possible to get in power a FAM
lily OF brains and standing. as in other
monarchies, and a the succession GER
tain and with a real Legislative body, then
a monarchy would fit the situation.
In the third place. I stated elnphati-
cally In my memorandum that If a mon
archy were to be established 1t should be
constitutional and the people should be
given greater participation in the goy-

Nc Grass Widows For Postoffice.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE rule of the
postoftice department hat mo grass
widows need apply was adhered to by
the examiners of the civil service COM
mission in examining applicants for
government positions. This is not a
new rule. but it is being enforced more
strictly now than ever before.
The postoftice department has had a
regulation for several years that barred
from it's civil service roll married wo
mcn Grass widows are considered
married, but divorced women are not
and therefore are eligible.
Recently the %postoffice department
and the civil service commission let up
on the grass widows somewhat. Wo-
men who were separated from their
husbands without fault Of their WI
and We're struggling for a living were
admitted, but the drawing of the line
between those who We're grass widows
for cause and those who were grass
widows by no fault of their Owl be-
came a bone Of contention, and all
grass widows were barred.

Spread Of Military Asronautics.

Spread Of Military Aeronautics.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Militia officers
may be trained in military aeronautics
at the army aviation school ut San
Diego, Cal, at the expense Of the war
department.
1t is proposed to start aviation work
in all states, and already sixteen OF
them have taken up the work.
Il an myself deeply impressed with
the Importance of developing this Gle.
ment of the national Defense" Secre-
tary Garrison said recently, land great-
" appreciate the generosity and pa
triotism of those who have expressed
a desire to contribute substantial do
nations in money to aid In this work.
1.-THE complete organizational scheme
for the militia, as planned by the war
department., calls for the formation ul-
timately Of twelve aero squadrons, one
for each militia division. Owing to
the great cost of aeroplane equipment
for which no funds have been pro-
vided by congress, no progress has
been made in this branch Of militia
instruction."
Secretary Garrison said that any
militia officer designated by the gov
ernor Of any state to study aviation
would receive mileage, subsistence
and quarters while undergoing the
course of instruction, but no pay from
the federal government Is authorized.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, president Of
Leland Stanford university.
"All these Balkan folk" a v DR..
Jordan, "were for years under the do
minion Of the Turk, and none of them
has been free for half Il century. The
Turk was most acceptable when asleep.
When he was awake he had his own
ideas of union and progress Union
meant uniformity. A nation should
have one ruler, one flag, one religion,
II language. This was by massacre.
And as the actual Turks We're few in
number, ruling owe an empire of Slavs,
Greeks, Italians, Jews, Armenians, Al
banians, Kurds, Egyptians, Moors and
Arabs, it demanded eternal vigilance
to keep them all in a state Of union
and progress.
"These people had had constantly
before them the alternatives of revolt,
conversion, assimilation, punishment
and massacre. At one time or another
some Of each race have chosen each Of
these alternatives, often two or three
at once.
MEANWHILE, following the wicked
lead of Bismarck and Disraeli, Eu-
rope has kept the Turk alive, because
from financiers in each nation the sui
tan had borrowed considerable sums
Of money. II the sick man of Europe
died his debts might be left unpaid.
Worse than that, they might be unse-
cured. And so the Balkans We're kept
In confusion. and the rest Of the Otto
man empire as well, in the hands Of
wild soldiers"
DR.. Jordan describes how one by one
the Balkan states, in different fashion,
escaped from Turkish rule. Macedonia
end Thessaly and Thrace to be equally
divided among their neighbors, and
finally Albania became can impossible
kingdom under an impossible king"

AS soon as the frost kills the foliage

use an old barn with half the siding

They are not worried much If the roof

That is very bad for the sheep. The
