GIANT COMBINATION
TO FIGHT LABOR

The gauntlet has been thrown down
IN labor by the industrial barons Of
the country. They have organized an
SIS. 900, 100000 industrial organization,
through which it is proposed to fight
labor and labor legislation tooth and
nail. Not only the Adamson eight
hour law wrested from congress by
the four great railroad brOtherhoods,
but all measures which assure the
workers juster share in the profits
they create, more sanitary conditions,
safe machinery and other benefits are
to be fought by the new association
1t includes in its membership some Of
the most powerful labor-baiting forces
of the country, such as the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
similar bodies.
The new body is to be known as the
National Industrial Conference Board.
This board will approach state and
national legislators and seek to in
fluence them against passing laws
which the toilers of the country are
demanding, and many Of which labor
is on the verge of securing after years
of hard and widespread agitation.
Another purpose Of the board is to
Inform the public What this means
can be judged by the information
which the railroads, through paid ad-
vertisements in the kept capitalist
press, put through before the Adam
son act was passed.-Exchange

REV. BILLY SUNDAY
AND A SQUARE DEAL

The following letter was received
from the Rev. W. w. Switzer, who
seems to think the Journal did not
give a square deal in publishing in the
issue Of December Is a short story
headed Evangelist Sunday Helps the

story is from the Boston Post, which
newspaper reports the remarks of
Rev. Oscar B. Halves, a prohibitionist
Brother Switzer asks that the Journal
print the paragraphs following the

Journal to enter upon the discussion
of the liquor question and asks to be
excused from entering into the fight,

SUCCESSFUL SALE
OF RED CROSS SEALS

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2S.-Although
the sale of Red Cross Seals officially
closed at midnight Dec. 23rd, seals
will be on sale practically everywhere
until Jan. list. Each year the public is
more generally recognizing the fact
that the seals are as attractive for
New Years greetings as for Christ
mas, and thus their use is being more
universally extended through the
holidays.
While it is too early to give definite
results on the sale, preliminary re-
ports of managers over the state
point to a new record for Washington
when the final returns are in. Re-
turns should be made promptly to the
Washington Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief, of tuberculosis
916 Cobb Building, Seattle, ON or be-
fore Jan. 25th.
The response to the mail sale of
seals has been most gratifying, a
large number of persons sending a
sum greater than required by the
have borne good wishes for the work,
as well as the money to help make it
possible. Yet there are other hun
dreds still to be heard from. An early
report from these will be greatly ap-
preciated and save the association
both time and money.
A busy year is being planned by the
association. The survey work will be
extended as rapidly as possible. TIC
ascertain exact conditions it is without
doubt one of the most important fea
lures of a constructive campaign
against the disease. Investigations re
garding tuberculosis have already
been conducted in four large counties
while a fifth is now in progress. AS
a result several counties are consider
ing establishing visiting tuberculosis
nursing service, while at least two
will probably erect sanatoria for theil
cases.
The association wishes to be of the
. greatest service with the funds a
command. Is your county equipped tt
fight tuberculosis? Write the associa
ton, and we will help you find on
just what your local needs are anC
advise with you how best to NEE
them. Let us make 1917 memorable

The following paragraphs were
clipped from the Christian Advocate:
Growing Temperance Wave
Here are some of the things which
are being accomplished directly or
indirectly. Mr. Sunday went to Fall
River last Saturday and gave his
booze sermon. Tuesday the city went
for no license by 400, the first time
in eight years. The message there,
together with the Boston sermons,
published in all the papers, is credited
with large influence in the out
come. On a recent date the junior
students at Harvard heard Mr. Sunday
at the tabernacle and at their last
meeting decided, by large vote, to
have no more booze at the class
functions this year. AS a result of
the meetings the brotherhoods of the
city have
"On Saturday afternoon the taber-
nacle was filled, mostly with children,
and in the evening large delegations
were present from every state of New
England. New Hampshire had 1000
in its delegation; Rhode Island, 1000;
Worcester, Mass, 1000. The trail
hitters' on this day numbered 1912.
On Sunday the evangelist delivered
his famous booze sermon twice to
men only and the great tabernacle
was packed. Mr.. Sunday said that it
was the most enthusiastic and finest
crowd to which he ever spoke, and
practically the whole number present
pledged to vote for no license. The
trail hitters' numbered 1861 for the
day and the total number up to last
Sunday is 22,617."
Since the above paragraphs were
printed Boston has held an election
on the saloon question and the "wets''
won by more than two to one.

Great Trees Of OREGON.

"ln the forest reserve between the
headwaters Of the west fork of Hood
river and the Bull Run lake are
some large trees, bigger than any !
have ever e e anywhere else in the
northwest" says George T, Prather,
a pioneer Of the Hood river valley.
"The trees are said to be several
hundred feet high and to stand on
the fiat Of a hidden canyon. Steep
bluffs on either hand shut in the
gorge in which they rear themselves,
and this reason is given for the fail
ure of those who fish in the Lost
lake district to have found the trees.

HOME OF VICTOR GAL BRAITH.
Aon0fellows Hero and HE Fate In the
Mexican War,

Ionofeilows Hero and HE Fate In the
Mexican War.
One of the least known of Long
fellows poems is his "Victor Cal
oralth," but when written, and the
tragic occurrence of the Mexican
war upon which it was founded was
fresh in the minds of the people, it
aroused the sympathy of the world
and was put into many languages.
"A writer in the Dayton News brings
out a fact that will be new to many
readers of today, at least, in a story
telling of the old home of Victor
Galbraith at Middletown, O. It is
not generally known certainly that
Victor Galbraith was an Ohio man.
His home was in Middletown, But
Ter county, and the house in which
ne lived was only recently torn
down. A niece Of the hero of the
poem still lives in the vicinity. He
went to school with the mother of
former Governor James E. Camp
bell. and she used to tell many sto-
RES OF their playmate days. He had
Just reached manhood when the war
with Mexico broke out, and he vol
unteered for service. He was a bu-
gler, as appears in the poem.
While the army lay before Mon
terey something happened that
threw Galbraith under suspicion of
treason. HI was suspected of COM
municating with the enemy. An
immediate court martial trial result
ed in his conviction, and he was SEN
fenced to be shot. The sentence
was executed upon him under the
walls Of Monterey, but hardly had
this been done when it was discov-
cred that beyond q doubt the man
was innocent.
a wave Of resentment toward
General Taylor and his subordinate
officers for this blunder swept over
the country, and it was under this
condition Of the public mind that
the poem was written. His mother
died at Middletown Of q broken
heart, never having been able to
forgl i've General Taylor and Presi-
dent Polk for permitting her boy,
innocent Of the charge Of treason,
to die a traitors death.
On the lawn on the side Of the
Elks' temple in that city q weeping
catalpa tree marks the birthplace Of
a soldier and tells the sad story of a
tragedy in real life that SO many
years ago touched the heart of hui
manity and aroused the sympathy
Of the world.
The first verse of the poem fol-
lows:
Under the walls OF Monterey
BY night O bugle is heard to play
Victor Galhraith.
Through the mist of the valley damp and |
gray
The sentinels hear the sound and say
That is the wrath
OF Victor Galbraith.

Improbable Cows.

In the Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
"Not over a third Of the so called
dairy cows Of the United States are
profitable to their owners. Ten mil
lion 'boarder' cows are MIXED whose
yield is worth less than their feed.
Their owners seem to keep them for
the sole pleasure of milking them
fourteen times a week, cleaning out
after them and otherwise enjoying
tleir society,""
