Il
man. Ny elan and my class mean
everything to me, and your clan and
your class are my natural enemies -
That is the sub-conscious reasoning Of
many men, yet-and of men in whom
we would least expect it.
Is there, you ask, remedy9 Yes,
there is one, but it is an individual
remedy. That is charity-that charity
which covereth multitude of sins
that charity which thinketh no evil.
Like many other causes of friction
between people, this condition grows
from slight causes, and little tolera-
tion and charity at the right time and
place will 60 long way toward RENE
dying matters.
Also stress the fact that the two
elements are mutually dependent upon
each other-theiH interests one. Let
each say to himself, as said another Of
old, "We be brethren.''
Ever try genuine dose of charity
toward your neighborf Try it. You
will be surprised how rapidly he will
grow in your estimation.

SHEEPMEN OPPOSE
INCREASE IN FEES

The Idaho State Wool Growers AS
sociation has been called upon by the
department of the interior to file be-
fore February any protest it may de-
sire to make to a proposed increase
in the grazing fees in the national for
ests
The contemplated increase amounts
to 100 per cent, at the rate of 33 l-3 per
cent each year until the maximum is
reached. The statement made by the
secretary of the interior sets forth that
complaint has been made by interested
municipal organizations that owing to
the exceedingly low grazing fees charg-
ed by the government their receipts are
seriously curtailed and that the stock
men are being favored to the dlsad'
vantage of the state as whole.
1t is also pointed out that an investi.
cation made by the department has
shown that the Average monthly graz
ing fees charged by private and state
lands are SO per head FOR sheep ana
III per head for cattle, as against a
government charge of Ia cents per
head for sheep and SO cents per head
for cattle. 1t is said that the present
government charge barely pays the ex'
pense of maintaining the forests.
The state receives a percentage OF all
grazing fees from the national forests
and if the rates are doubled the state
treasury will profit accordingly. AL
though it is conceded by sheepmen IN
this state that the prices received Tor
wool and lambs has been higher this
year than ever before, they nevertheless
intend to file vigorous protests against
the proposed increase in rates and it is
possible that an investigation OF these
protests will prevent any change dur
ing the coming year.

pound orders.
Million pound orders cannot be filled
because fruit and vegetables cannot
be furnished to factories under pres.
ent conditions.
There are 80 many laws and adverse
conditions hedging about labor and in.
dustry, and especially production from
the soil, that large establishments are
difficult.
Labor organizations oppose cheap Ia
Dor coming to our states. Labor
bureaus advertise that we have more
laborers that we can employ on an
eight or even six hour basis.
We are getting legislation by con.
gress and by states for cheaper capital
for farm development, but all influen.
ces are at work to advance labor to pro-
hibitory prices.
AS result no farm development
can take place, production is restrict
ed, industries are limited, and cost of
living is advanced without giving en-
ployment to labors we have.
When will the masses learn that too
much regulation and legislation only
cripples industries, kills business and
destroys chances for workers to make
livings
Dreams of labor agitators for six
or eight hour days at three Collars
per day may come true but farmers
cannot clear land or grow cheap fruit
and vegetables for canneries or evap.
orators on that basis.

Says writer in the Ohio State Jour
nal: As time moves on the virtue Of
self-denial is more and more needed
The social destinations, the alluring
fashions, the varied amusements, the
fun and fiction in reading, the gadding
mania, the everyday gossip and all the
glitter and hum of this materialistic
age strongly demand the exercise of
the virtue of self f-denial. In fact, there
10 NO safety in any other way. Anyone
who let's himself go close among the
Establishments of the day runs straight
into the face of ruin"
The writer uses the wrong term when
he names self-denial as the virtue that
is to resist these particular allurements
of the age. He should have said
"sense." Self-denial somehow includes
the idea of a right surrendered, Of a
legitimate privilege foregone for the
sake Of a greater end in view.
When we apply the term self-denial
to the quality in man that is to resist
the extravagant vanities Of any time,
we pre-suppose his perfect right to the
free exercise of these vanities.
This is an error. Man has no right
to excuses Of any nature. Any viola
tion of the spirit Of moderation is
transgression against either himself or
affects the one or the other.
But the writer is right in the danger
which he sees for the race in the mul-
tiplicity of temptations of his age.
It requires a sane and sensible mind
indeed to safely steer a life course
amid them.
Volumes have been written on the
afflictions of poverty. Greater vol
umes are needed on the greater virtue
of resistance to the ills of prosperity.
Yes, we say "ills' advisedly. Pros
perity is far from being a blessing to
large per cent Of the human race. Not
a community in the country but can
point to numerous instances Of the
abuse of prosperity. Its wrecks are
fairly strewn along life's road.
We sometimes wonder if our schools
our churches, our human betterment
societies, and even our homes, are do
ing their duty in intelligently instruct
ing the race in a course Of sensible
avoidance of the many peculiar vani-
ties of the age. Most of these vahities
are the direct outgrowth of an unpre-
cedented prosperity, and the mind OF the
Young, especially, needs to be particu-
larly fortified against them. Are We

TOWN VS.. COUNTRY

One serious obstacle to the cordial
relations that should exist between all
classes Of American life is the unrea-
soning antagonism that SO often EXISTS
between the town and the country.
Why this should exist is hard to see,
in view Of the fact that each is largely
dependent upon the other in many OF
the relations Of life.
Unfortunately, however, it is fact
with which we have to deal when con-
sidering any matter Of import to the
people Of any given section.
This prejudice shows itself in po'
htieal life, in church life, in social life
and even in business. 1t frequently
manifests itself in conviction Of the
country man that the town man is al
ways watching for an opportunity to
edo him. He is convinced that all
existant evil has it's origin in the
towns. The town man, to his man, ex'
lists for no other purpose than to prey
off the farmers.
On the other hand it frequently oc'
eurs that the people Of the town be-
come imbued with the belief that the
country people ''have it in for them. y
Thus are the relations between the
two in strained condition, and in many
eases even the most ordinary business
relations are hindered and blocked by
this unrcasoning and unreasonable Jeal
Ousy.
Perhaps you may say the picture Is
overdrawn. 1t is not. The writer has
seen and is familiar with just such com
munities. And, unfortunately, III many
instances the prejudice is well founded
1t is fact that the clanish spirit If

STANDARD OH. co.
PRESIDENT Is DEAD

Tarrytown, N. Y, Dec. 5.-John d.
Archbold, president of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, died at
his home here at o'clock this morn
ing after two weeks illness, subse-
quent to an operation for appendicitis.
Funeral services will be held Thurs.
day. He is survived by his widow,
one son and two daughters. He was
6S years old.
Archbold was a native Of Ohio: In
his early life he was an oil refiner
buyer in western Pennsylvania. In
1875 he became associated with the
Rockefeller interests, a connection that
continued until his death. He was al
most as closely identified with the his
tory of the Standard Oil company as
John d. Rockefeller himself.
It has been estimated that his for
tune, made almost entirely from oil,
was nearly $1OO,OOO,O0O. OF the first
nine trustees of the ''trust' formed in
1882 he alone remained in this capa-
city until it's dissolution in 1911 at the
order of the United States supreme
court. He was the most aggressive
fighter IN the oil combine and invar-
iably represented the concern on the
witness stand.

CAUSES OF CAR SHORTAGE

II is always better to get at facts
Of any given condition than to en-
gage in condemnation based on pre-
judices. .
For instance, what are basic facts
and causes Of ear shortage we always
hear so much about ut this time Of
yearf ...
From July to October is the time
fer moving crops and buying supplies,
and laying in coal and fuel for winter
Closing Of Panama canal and con-
xestion of traffic in eastern manu-
featuring centers increased demand tor
cars.
The Pacific coast sends out more
products for eastbound shipment than
it receives, and June, July and August
saw $4,000 more ears 60 east than
same month last year.
Many states have enacted laws for
bidding work on Sundays and this
tends to hold up use Of all ears one
seventh longer.
Car builders in east manufacture 9th
er lines and have been unable to de-
liver new ears to meet increased traf-
fis.
Western states should encourage
capital to go into railroad-car building
instead of sending raw material fol-
cars to the east

defeat Of radical political propositions
in several of them.
There is need Of a change in atti-

take place.

company at The Dalles, Oregon, wants
to operate it's elevator plant all year
around but cannot get fruits and veg
etables needed.

concern, and there are many others
