Canada has a system of preventing
strikes such as the one threatening IN
the United States now. 1t works so
well that since it was inaugurated,
nine years ago, there has not been a
strike of any consequence in Canada.
II grew out of the great coal strike
of 1907, which caused so much incon-
yenience and suffering. In brief 1t is
a law which requires that in all dis
putes between a public utility corpor-
alton and its employees over increase
or decrease of wages or working
hours, the one making the demand
must give 30 days notice TO the other
side. If, at the end of that time they
have failed to agree, they must lay
the dispute before the labor depart
ment of the government. Under this
department each of the disputants
name man and these two name a
third, and these three compose a board
of investigation, which conducts full
inquiry in public, with power to sum-
mon witnesses and compel testimony.
The only purpose of the board is to
lay the facts before the public. Its
findings are not binding upon either
party. Its only weapon is publicity.
1t brings out all the features of the
controversy and lays them before the
public and then makes a recommended
ton; and in every case its recommen-
dation has been adopted and the
strike averted. 1t has been quite as
effective, it is said, as compulsory
arbitration and appears to have end
ed labor strikes in Canada.

The Stielow Case.

The Stielow case in New York has
given the whole country a lesson In
the injustice, and viciousness, eveni
of the uses to which the machinery
for enforcing law may sometimes be
put.
Stielow, a poor, igorant dull witted
man, was accused of numbering his
employer and his housekeeper. The
police are accused of having kicked
and choked him into signing a confess
sion he did not read. A prosecuting
attorney, out to make record of con-
victions got him sentenced to death.
Then the law began playing with him
as cat plays with "A mouse it is go
ing to kill. Four times he was led up
to the threshold of death, he and his
wife and children suffering all the
agonies of his approaching death
Four times he was reprieved at the
last moment, and the last time his
head had been shaved and a slit cut
in his trousers where the electrode
was to reach to his flesh when he was
placed in the electric chair.
All this time he protested his inno-
cence and many worked to save him,
believing him not guilty. All this
time the prosecuting attorney fought
against clemency and urged the death
penalty And then, by mere chance,
suspected peddler was caught and
confessed that he did the murder.
This leads one to wonder if the zeal
of prosecutors to convict may not
have sent many an innocent man to
death or prison: and if William II.
Taft may not have been right when
he said: "The administration of cri-
minal law in this country is disgrace
to civilization"
The Office of prosecuting attorney
may be made machine for the con-
viction of men. A prosecutor, IN ms
eagerness to make record for
large number of convictions, becomes
a prosecutor, and, as such, an enemy
of justice. Too many prosecuting at
torneys believe it their duty to dig
up and get in all the evidence they
can against the accused and cover up
and keep out all the evidence they can
that is in his favor. But the theory
of the law is that the prosecutor
shall protect the interests of the ac-
cused as we'll as the interests of the
state; and that it is better for ninety

Tales of the Town
RIVALS.

Is it not sad that lovely woman
Feeling herself to be supreme,
The better part of all things human,
Most perfect creature IN Natures
scheme,
Must bow her head and meet disaster
No matter what her rank or class,
And own that she has met her master
In little bugle, made of BRASS
No matter how man may love his
Mother, sister, sweetheart, wife,
He's ever ready in a crisis
To follow the bugle to the strife.
And when its siren voice calls him,
Forgotten then are womenkind;
At once he falls an easy victim
To the greater passion in his mind.
The music of the b1gle's summons
Is something no man can resist;
II makes him lust for roar OF cannons
And the blood of his antagonist.
Deserted, then, with hot tears falling,
Humiliation most complete,
Womenkind hear their rival calling
And must acknowledge sore defeat.
What wonder then that all the women
Whene'er they hear the bugle call
Regard it an unlucky omen
Which signifies the loss of all;
This mighty rival so destructive
Their dearest treasures soon Will
steal,
Will rob them with its voice seductive
And from it there is no appeal.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Next Tuesday is election day-the
day when candidates are to be nomi-
mated. Its Importance TO all politi-
cal parties is evident, because from
the candidates will be chosen those
who are to have charge of the bust
ness of the state and county during
the next two years. Not single vot-
err should fail to express his choice.
This is a difficult job under the pri-
mary law No voter, however intel
ligent or conscientious he may be, can
possibly mark his ballot and feel sure
that he has voted in every case for
the man best equipped for the office
for which he is candidate. The as
surance is impossible for the simple
reason that no voter can possibly
know the multitude of candidates
whose names will appear on the bal
lot. Their names will be strange to
him and their qualifications unknown.
He will simply have to do the best
he can. 1t is possible that time may
vindicate the primary. If it does, all
well and good The principle of all
the people voting on all the candi-
dates for all the offices Of their re-
spective parties is so sound as to be
unassailable. But if the people do
not wish to vote, the state should not
go to the very great expense of hold
ing primary elections.

The current number Of Goodwin's
Weekly contains the following char
acter sketch of Gov. Hughes, who
spoke in Salt Lake last week:
Mr.. Hughes spoke in the Tabernacle
on Thursday night. Thousands of
our people saw him in action and were
deeply moved. There was no attempt
at the dramatic in his appearance or
words. The first impression he gives
is that of man devoted to duty, ag-
gressive for the right, as God gives
him to see the right, and with that
order of courage in his soul which, in
a cause which he believes to be right,
does not for an instant count or con-
slider whether the path he is treadjng
will lead up to light and glory or
down to darkness.
His bearing is that of perfectly
poised scholar, too confident of his
position, too serene in his own self
to think of STOPPING to any
Of the shallow devices which public
speakers sometimes resort to to mag
Nifty themselves personally, while dis
cussing serious questions. So his
words are all simple, but they always
ring true, and often while he is speak
ng the listener finds himself instinct
vely recalling those words that Ma
,auley weaves into his essay on Mil

We read all the burial places of mem

In the same way while Mr.. Hughes |
peaks, all at once the record of the
Democratic party moves like piano.
anna in sinister colors before US.
But there is no vindictiveness in
ar. Hughes words. 1t is as when a
rial has been concluded and the YER
let rendered, that he takes the case
nd in sorrow pronounces a plying
entence upon the convicted prisoner.
There is another feature about his
peeches. They are like the medicine
hat physician sometimes gives that
as less effect when first taken than
l the succeeding days.
Another impression his speeches
lake is that were Mr.. Hughes to be
efeated it would be vastly greater
'ss to the country than to himself,
,r the country needs him vastly more
IAN he needs the office for which he
