The body OF young Denton, the
much advertised missing Pueblo
youth. was discovered in the bed of
the Arkansas river.
Denton's drowning was a mystery.
Young. athletic and heart-whole, it is
claimed, with good position and of
fine family. there appeared no reason
for suicide. and accident seemed
equally improbable.

EXPANDING STATE
.,. FUNCTIONS

Many state institutions main
tainGd by the taxpayers are ask
ing Ioc elaborate printing plants.
They want them to get oul
state publications, to publish
magazines and newspapers.
Some of these state publica-
tions send out regular advertis-
ing solicitors and do commercial
printing.
Is there any more reason for
a state institution running a
printing Office than for maintain
Ing a garage?
A state printing Office is al
ready maintained by the taxpay-
ers and why establish more pub
lie printshops?
The tendency to expand state
functions is costing the taxpay-
ers dearly and Is to the detri-
ment Of business.
If carried far enough, there
will be little left for the produc-
er and private citizen but to die
up taxes.
MIND. All are invited.

IN the gang remains high. AS
the gang moves along from place

easier to heat, expecting in this
way to materially improve the

COUNTY WILL OIL ROADS

The County this week receiv-
ed a machine for placing crude
oil on the roads. The machine
is just here on trial and will be
experimental with on the sandy
roads at and near Newport. The
machine is equipped to put the
oil on the road hot if it is desired
and places it to a depth of about
two inches. The idea is to put
on a coat of hot oil then roll the
road After rolling, more sand
will be graded on top of the oil
and this again rolled. This pro-
cess will be repeated until the
oiled portion is about six inches
deep. The Oil placed on the road
will cost about $3.50 per barrel.
1t is thought that this will make
an excellent road and we believe
it is worthy of a trial.

ENGLISH SOCIALIST JAILED
FOR MINE STRIKE ACTIVITY

LONDON.-Capt. James R. White,
formerly an officer of the First Cor
don Highlanders, a Socialist, has been
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment at Aberdare, Wales, under the
Defense of the Realm act.
Captain White, who is son of the
late Field Marshal Sir George White,
the defender of Ladysmith, was con-
victed of having attempted to bring
about strike of coal miners in order
to force the government to be more
lenient to the rebel leaders in Ireland.
Captain White won the distinguish
ed service order in the Boer war.
Later he resigned and became a So
cialist, going to Ireland to live. In
1914 he took part in the Larkin strike
in Dublin and later became a member
of the Sim Fem Society. He declared
on one occasion, when asked to reioin
the army, that he would prefer to be
placed against wall and riddled with
bullets.

EVERYBODY WORKS;
EMPLOYERS PROFIT
Children and Mothers Must Labor to
Support Families in Penn
sylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa.-The alarming
extent to which boys, girls and women
are utilized to secure "cheap labor
for Pennsylvania industrial overlords
is shown in the report of the depart
ment of commerce and labor for 1914
just made public.
During the period covered by the
statistics boys working in 20,571 es-
Establishments in Pennsylvania carried
home in their pay envelopes a total of
$2,723,6OO. Girls under 16 were paid
$2,719,500, making a total of $5,442,-
700.
The mothers and sisters of the
youngsters who gave their days and
probably some of their nights to toll
made an impressive showing. The
women employed in the POSI- indus
tries reporting drew $72,669,1OO. They
made an impressive industrial army,
numbering 216,299 in the compare
lively few establishments that served
as the basis Of the figures given.
The children and the women were
cheap labor. The Investigations of
the department show that in the vast
majority of instances the earnings of
the women and children were needed
to maintain the family. The combined
family income just about kept things
going. In other words parents and
children earned a sum equal to the
amount the father would have been
forced to demand if the youngsters
had been in school the mother at home
and the father in the mill.

ENEMY CD LANDS;

The United States forces, retreating,

Things promised to be full of casual

that not a shot should be fired, for it

Directors Better prepared"
The association was obeyed, in spite
of the fact that a grandstand full of
people had paid good money to see a
thrilling encounter, with the cracllle
of rifles, the rattle of machine guns
and the boom of artillery. 1t was
obeyed because its officials arranged
to have Sheriff Louis M. Swazey, of
Kings county, on hand with a threat
of arrest for George P. Dillenback,
manager of the preparedness" tour
nament, aided by Police Inspector
Thomas F. Murphy, of the Coney Is
land district under orders from Com

ARE FIGHTING, DYING
AND EXPLODING FOR FATHERLAND
Chemical Science Offers New Opportunities for
PatriOts-May DO More After They
Are Dead Than Before

entire supply of the United States will
be exhausted in ninety days.
"lf glycerine is exhausted, it will
not only have an important effect on
the war" speakers said. "but much
work. including oil development, will
be brought to a dead stop" One of
the delegates says:
'Glycerine is produced but from
one source. animal sinews, and there
is no way of increasing the production
unless we can make use of the bodies
of horses and men killed on the field
of battle"
The utilizing of the bodies of
slaughtered soldiers to make more
bombs and shells is said to account for
the ineXhaustible supplies of explos-
ives with which the Germans are now
bombarding Verdun. Every dead Ger
man, properly boiled and mixed with
nitric and sulphuric acids, may kill
more men after he is dead than when
he is alive. That's German method.
We regard it as glorious and great to
be dead and buried, but the German
is happy in the knowing that his re-
mains will be dumped into vat,
stewed into high explosives, and then
loaded into a shell that will do yet
more glorious work for the father
land.
We ought not to be outdone in this
stewed corpse business. Every profit
monger, everyone of us who stays at
home, could, at least, give our corpse
for our country. 1t should ease our
dying moments to know that, thanks
to the advance of modern science, we
can kill more people with our carcass
than we can with our tongues.
There is no limit to the possibility
of this enterprise. What hell of a
war we can have if everybody will
only consent to be chemicalized into
explosives as fast as they die.-B. c..

FARMERS RECEIVE
20 CENTS A DAY
Presidential AristOcrat Figures
Out That This Is Actual
Wage of Rural Labor

DETROIT.-General T. Coleman
Dupont, onetime powder king, now
king in another line as proprietor of
the Equitable Life Insurance company
and white house aspirant, has an
article in The Michigan Manufacturer
and Financial Record on agricultural
development and prosperity. Here is
an extract from it:
at is well known that the farmers
and their wives, with their children
and helpers, are constantly engaged
in strenuous labor, with which a
great deal of intelligence and skill
is mixed. Their work is subject to
peculiar difficulties, and they must
exercise constant vigilance to secure
their output. Notwithstanding their
extraordinary labors their average
earnings are far less than the wages
paid in the ordinary labor trades in
the large cities.
"This is the common fact of ex-
perlence, and it is confirmed by an ex-
animation of the estimates of farm
earnings per farm in 1912, compiled
by the department of agriculture of
the United States, in comparison with
the reports of average daily wages of
carpenters, stone-cuters, brick-layers,
and others, in the same year, compiled
by the United States department of
labor. The report of the department
of agriculture gives the average net
earnings per farm in 1912 at $18.
ct is probable that there are, on
the average, five persons to a farm
doing the work of adults and including
men and women. On this basis the
average net earnings of each person
were about 500 per year or 1926 per
month, equivalent to about 20 cents
for each working day. According to
the report of the department of COM
merce and labor the average daily
wage in that year of carpenters.
stone-cutters, brick-layers, locomo-
tive engineers, and railroad conduct
ors was about $3.50 per day."

CHINESE LABOR IN FRANCE

Much indignation is being expressed
by French Trade Unionists as to the
conditions under which Chinese and
other colored workers are being in

production of munitions. According
to the Paris Matin, leach steam
ship which arrives from the Far East
disembarks new contingent of Ton
kinois and Annamites to reinforce the
hard labor of our factories. To house
these Asiatic workers, vast camp
has been erected at Marseilles where
there are already over 80 pavilions,
each accommodating so persons" In
addition to the Chinese, Moors are
being imported.

BIG BIZ KNOCKS
MINIMUM WAGE
Manufacturers Call the Proposal
''SOcialistic" and of No Ben
eft to Workers

The minimum wage is condemned
in a pamphlet issued by the National
Association of Manufacturers. 1t ar
CUES that the proposal is "Socialistic";
that it takes private property with
out just compensation" and that it
will not help the working class.
Instead of minimum wage the in
dustrial betterment committee of the
association urges a system of indus
trial education to increase the eff
cheney of the workers.
The report denies any connection
between morals and wages and
charges that minimum wage would
soon become a maximum.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers is the strongest anti-union
organization in the United States.
