it is impossible to avoid pointing out to those respectables who affect to denounce and deprecate the work of these much maligned men, that the l. w. w. is product of capi- talism. If you do not like the effect, if would be more reasonable to de- nounce the cause. For every crime that may be laid justly or unjustly to the doors of the industrialists, ten thousand can be laid to the doors of the capitalist system. What the I. w. w. is doing is placing within the hearts of hopeless men,
 nerveless men, discouraged men, hope
 and daring and determination. They
 have gone among their fellow work CTS. it has been slow and discourag-
 ing work, and in the very humblest ranks they have imbued fighting spirit which all other labor organ1- cations have been unable to do. That fighting spirit takes on. very
 objectionable forms; but in that, it is fundamentally based upon spirit of resistance to tyranny, to wrong, to injustice, fundamentally also it is upon the same basis as upon which the structure of American re- publicanism originally was founded.

 So therefore with this review, and it is quite impartial, the situation Everett is very understandable. The workers struck in the sawmills. The l. w. W. were first to enter the breach. The sheriff armed a posse with booze and sticks and deported and beat up all the leaders in fashion would be considered dis graceful if it were not quite so ire quent from the graceful. The re- turn of these men and their followers was the occasion of this battle which is reported in news dispatches.
 Any attempt to paint the industrl- alists as angels and much wronged beings with unsullied wings would promptly be rejected with a cry of derision by none more quickly than the industrialists themselves. Bu,

OF the matter. The fact is that just
above these seepy places where the
ruts are, there is vein OF hard clay
coming out, which the water cannot
readily penetrate Hence it comes out
under the roadbed, just as slough
comes out on the side Of hill.
The remedy for this is tile drainage.
and the drain should not be located
in the seepy place, but above it, so as
to intercept the water tina. makes the
seep. Just on the same principle that
in draining a slough with many
branches and prongs, the work is done
best by tiling around the prongs and
into the slough below at the lowest OF
them, instead of in the middle OF it.
For whenever water gets into slough,
the damage is done. The point is to
keep it from getting in.
A little attention to this. together
with dragging the road after every
rain, will give US fairly good roads
dirt roads without any hard surfacing
for nine or ten months in the year.
OF course. when these seepy places
are drained, they must have a ditch
into which the water can run.
Permit US to repeat once more
statement We have been making ever
since We made our first address on
good roads. 80 years ago: that wa.
ter uncontrolled is the cause of bad
roads; that there are two kinds Of
water. so to speak; the under water
and the upper water. The under water
is that which comes in under the road
bed; and the upper-water what comes
on 1t from above or flows in from the
sides. The way to get rid OF the first
is through drainage; particularly in
these seepy places. The way to con-
troll the second is by grading and then
dragging, to put an enamel on the sur.
face of the road.-Wallace's Farmer.
