Conway, May l7.-A strike involv1 ing between 400 and 800 section hands between Argenta and Knoxville, on the central division of the Iron Noun tain, was declared this morning, the hands asking for raise in wages from Sl.25 to $1.50 per day. The company, it is said, pays for labor of this sort on the division beyond Knox vile, according to the scale demanded by the strikers, and it is probable that it will be granted for the entire divi- sion.

America has led to the suggestion of Ia motor militia, to be armed with machine guns, force which could be concentrated with deadly rapidity in case of attempted invasion.
 A part of such a plan would be a system of paved highways leading to points of vantage and enabling com plete resistance against landing forces at close range. These high ways would of course be more than mere military investment, having all the utility of market highways in times of peace.

Louisville Courier-Journal: The
Sioux chief, Red Cloud, became the
acknowledged leader of his people as
result of what they considered his
military brillancy in the Fetterman
massacre near Fort Phil Kearney in
Wyoming in 1866. The Sioux, with
Red Cloud in command, succeeded in
killing 100 men under Captain Fetter-
man and Lieutenant Brown. Red
Clouds prowess so enthralled the
Imagination of the Sioux that he es-
tabIished military dictatorship and
terrorized the region over which he
held sway. Ia
In 1880, when the Sioux had been
out of the North Platte country for
a half dozen years. and had been
making frequent raids from the Red
Cloud agency on White Earth river,
their war chief made a treaty of
peace with the government 1t was
not expected that he would keep
peace, or that he could restrain the

Tips and Tipping.

Chamberlain, S. D., Democrat:
Judge Jepson of Iowa, has handed
down q decision that the Iowa anti
tipping law is unconstitutional. OF
course, the law has not been observed
at all, any more than the anu-treat
law in this state some years ago, but
that is no evidence that ii was not
a good law. We. have been surprised
at the attitude of The Sioux City
Journal and possibly many other
papers in Iowa, in rejoicing over the
knockout of the law. The Journal
says:
The decision Of Judge Jepson is
going to be rather hard on Mr.. Tight
wad, who has been working the anti
tipping law overtime as an excuse for
overlooking the girl who serves him
his breakfast food in the hotel din
ing room and the colored gentleman
who brushes his clothes on the sleep
ing car.
1t is not only Mr.. Tightwad who
has found good reason to complain
against the tipping graft that prevails
in this country from end to end.
Why, may We ask, does not the girl
who carries you dish OF breakfast
food in the dining room receive a
regular weekly wage in accordance
with her work or her ability, SO that
it would not be necessary for the
traveller to pay both the waitress and
the hotel proprietor for the bit oil
grub obtained? And the colored
