Indian tribes who owing to the spread

there is no absolute stcrility in pas

iciently complete to produce a thor
oughly satisfactory result.
The argument for pasteurized milk
depends for its cogency upon several
facts that are most clearly understood
when grouped together. They may be
thus stated: !. Most disease germs are
destroyed at the temperature OF pas
teurization, 1i5 to lS5 Fahrenheit.
P~asteuriZed milk. therefore. protects
us to a certain extent against diseases
which are conveyed by milk, such as
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, paraty-
phoid. diphtheria, scarlet fever. diar-

mouth disease, ~poliomyelitis, though
the last is under suspicion, for II pas
teurization prevented outbreaks Of this
disease the recent epidemic is hard to

AVERTING THE
STRIKE

People who are heaping credit
upon the administration for averting
the strike the past week will be in
an embarrassing ~predicament II they
find that the action of a week ago
merely postponed the trouble and
complicated 1t.
1t Is an accepted principle that
nothing is ever settled until it is set
tied right, and while strikes are one
of the worst means of settling diff
ferences, the mere fact that a man
in high official position takes the
bit in his teeth and takes sides and
uses his official power to make one
side to a controversy give in, does
not change the conditions that
brought about the dispute nor will
it enable the railroads to meet the
conditions imposed If it is as they
claim more than they can afford to
pay and discriminating against other
employees who r equally deserving
of better pay and shorter hours. We
shall still need railroads and rail-
roads will still need money for ex-
tensions of their service, and If legis-
lation curtails their ability to serve
until further endorsements have
to be met, then it may appear that
the so-called victory of last week
was not a victory, but merely a sur
render.

SCHOOL NOTES

After three months of freedom and
fun the children again assembled at
the three school buildings ready to
resume their book learning. One
hundred and eighty-nine youngsters
timidly enrolled in the primary. This
is a much larger number than any
previous year. Wednesday night
there were PA pupils in high school.
The same number were enrolled in
the high school at the end Of the
first month Of last year and it is
estimated that at the end of the
months the number will have in
creased to something over 800. AL
ready there is an entire enrolment
of 1,061, The 81 teachers are as
follows: Primary, Miss Cassie
Wright, Mrs. M. Austin, Mrs. Wood
duff and Miss Zahm, of Montana;
second grade, Miss Lynch and Miss
olga Stephens; third grade, Miss
Hart, Miss Sherry, Miss Quillan;
fourth grade, Grace Wright, Ethel
Smith; fifth grade, Miss Malboune
and Miss Gladys Hodson; sixth
grade, Miss Mary O'Rouke and Miss
Fox; seventh gradeb Miss Crenshaw
and Miss Winefred O'Rouke; eighth
grade, Miss Doyle and Miss Hunsaker.
In high school are the following
teachers: Mr.. Dice, of Indiana, his
tory; Mr.. Lowrey, of Oklahoma,
science; Mr.. Avery, of Kansas, agri-
culture; Miss Baron, of Colorado,
English; Miss Noel, of Indiana, Eng
lish; Miss Hubbell, of Minnesota,
mathematics; Miss McNaughton, of
Nebraska, commercial subjects; Miss
Davidson, music and drawing; Mrs.
Percy Jones, domestic science; Mr..
Beane, manual training; W. D. Vim
cent, superintendent; Mr.. Eichel-
berger, principal Of the high school.
Mr.. Dice is a star athelete from
the University of Indiana and will
be atheletic coach.
Mr.. Avery, who is a graduate of
the Kansas Agriculture college plans
on making the agricultural course
very interesting. A weeks work will
consist of two Rotations, two lab
ratory periods and one field trip. 1t
will be a practical work as well as
theoretical. The young men will be
given an opportunity to continue the
work during the summer months,
when profit and and experimental
work will be outlined and done. 1t
will be conducted in the same manner
that the first and second years Of the
college agricultural courses. Some
simple machinery will be purchased
and Mr.. Avery has already started
collecting grain and farm produce
to be used as practical helps. A
special course will be opened the
Monday following the Thanksgiving
vacation to those who are unable to
start earlier, but it is desired that
as many begin now as possible.

zens confidence in its chief principle,
eQuable adjustment of differences. II
this Is not a sort of treason, 1t used
to be, and may yet be. Congress
will probably now set to work to
frame a law to enforce arbitration
between all employers and employed.
Just at present arbitration Is the
intent of our law; after the new bill
passes it will be the letter Of the
law. 1t has always been an Ameri-
can ideal that principle should stand
before the letter, but II a body of
100000 laboring citizens refuse the
principle they will have the letter
forced upon them. AS a whole, the
American people do not like the
stand taken by the brotherhood
leaders, and so this refusal to arbi-
trate their demands with the rail-
road officials has been a heavy blow
to unionism.

OUR PAVEMENT

We think it was from the Louis.
Vile Courier the following Dit OF
clipping was taken: ,
IAN objector says the Danish west
Indies are nothing but a group or
sand bars. Do you recall the tact
that the Louisiana purchase was "a
worthless Wilderness" that Florida
was fit only for fishing and fruit;
that Alaska was a land of ice and
desolation; that the Hawaiian Islands
produced nothing but leprosy and
volcanoes; that Oregon was not habit
able?" .
Yes, and everyone knows of a host
of other instances where a thlng was
accomplished while some folks were
saying it couldn't be done. A recent
cartoon showed the first areoplane
making a fight, and a stubborn old
countryman m%uttering, II don't be-
lieve it." But the good Lord bal
anced up his law Of averages just
ABOUT right when for every loo per-
sons who express themselves in such
comforting phrases as Impossible"
and "'tain't no use'' there Is usually
one man of action.
When the Salt Lake promoters
were boosting for the new Hotel Utah
there was no lack of individuals VINO
went about solemnly stating the SAD
fact that there were enough hotels
for the city already and any new
hotel would remain empty. A few
years have passed and there are sew
eral large hourishing hostelries be-
sides the Utah, including M sky
scraper the Newhouse.
And so, who "a be surprised,
knowing human nature, that in
W little town the new pavement
meets with disparagement from a
few the inevitable few? Some have
said "it amt no earthly use at all,
and won't last" and for them 1t has
been suggested they be sentenced to
dig up small squares OF it o sample
blocks, where manholes are needed.
Others, watching for hours while n
contractors men sprinkle liquid tar
thinly over the crushed rock base,
are heard to remark that tibet tar
amt agoin' to hold them rock to-
gether tall
An innocent man is not altogether
happy to be accused of a crime, and
the men responsible for Blackfoot's
pavement resent the implications in
this street talk. The fact about the
crushed rock base is that the tar is
used merely to act as a sort OF
binder for the asphaltum mixture
which is placed on top. The asphalt
tum then in time works itself down
into the pieces of rock and forms a
springy, but solid mass into which no
grooves will sink, and which will
give to the frost expansion and not
crack. A thin layer Of fine gravel
is spread upon the asphaltum to take
up what expansion the sun makes at
the surface and to sink into the as
phaltum and form a hard smooth
top The thing is scientifically work
ed out, proved and doubly proved by
actual experience in many cities.
That is n Of the great advantages
of travel, seeing things, and we are
glad to see the railroad offering Sc
ductive excursion rates.

RARE DAYS

When good American poet,
Lowell, set that interesting but funny
truism, What Is 80 rare as q day
in June?" into a memorable phrase
he did the country as Unreasonable
benefit. If kicking about the
weather is a wicked symptom in us.
For what is more blessed than what
is rare? And what is more sure to
suffocate a blasphemous complaint
than a poetic line OF praise and
thanks-be-rendered?
The truth is, taking it sensibly, we
are blessed by the very fact that
June days are quite rare, coming as
they do only once or twice in the
year. And that is why we can so
easily pass out our blessings upon
them after the warm. comfortable
July weather has set in. Your

UNIONS AND


Refusing to adbitrate their diff

the worst thing any body of men
could do in the United States. The
very attitude of the railroad brother
hoods casts reflection upon the
courts of arbitration as set up in
our Democracy. They said, in ef-
feet, that inasmuch as former ar
bitrations had not brought them
justice, they did not believe any
court of arbitration would. That

The editor of The Republican has
been charged by his enemies with
having worked for his friends and
opposed his enemies in politics, but
the history of the Doud case from
the time Of filing his nomination
down to the time when the people
turned him down, was a history Of
working for our enemy, being treated
as an enemy thruout, and of Judge
Doud acting the part of an migrate
