clined to be anti-Catholic." Catholics
surrender their freedom and give and
take such orders without question.
Other Americans prefer to read an
opponent to see what scrap of truth
he may have. Catholic leaders are
afraid of this, so hand down orders
like this from Letters of Leo XIII,
page 1913: Union of minds requires
complete submission and obedience
of will to the Roman pontif." On
Duties as Citizens, page 1874: What
we are bound to believe, and obliged
to do, are laid down by the pontiff."

THE EIGHT-HoUR LAVAL

the uySJGIICd1 OuCCTy QISCLSQ against
the so-caIed fake CD 8-heur day by
the railroads and the kept press, the
real facts underlying the historic
economic movement for the 8-hOur
day seems to have been obscuTed;
logically by its opponents, and very
peculiarly by it's advocates. Hence
a few quotations taken from one Of
the worlds foremost masters Of eco
nomic science, pertinent to wages
and hours, should be enlightening
and profitable.
Karl Marx in value, Price and
Profit: ''In their Cworkers) at
tempts at reducing the working day
to its former rational dimensions, or,
where they. cannot enforce a legal
fixation of normal working day, at
checking oVerWOrk by a rise of
wages, rise not only in proportion
to the surplus time exacted, but in
a greater proportion, working men
fulfil only duty to themselves and
their race. They (workers) only set
limits to the tyranniCal usurpations
of capital"
It is a historic fact that no ruling
class ever relinqUished advantages
accruing to them without the bitter
est and most relentless opposition.
It, therefore, behooves the working
man to shake his skull wherein en-
cased is an atropied brain in a sin
cere and earnest effort to see through
the hysterical and emotional concep-
ton of economics, to a clear and
scientific understanding based on
facts.
After we have all INDUCED in fan
tasy, hysteria,- romance, and deVeI-
oped a serious malady called ECO
nomic astigmatism, to cure this dis
ease we should strike, by occasional
visits to a real, scientific, economic
ocuIst, who can furnish US, providing
we care to assume some of the in
tellectual responsibilities, with pair

velop US. And whether we work to-
gether or separate for these things
it in no wise does away with incen-
tive.
But you might say there will be no
chance to become milliOnaires under
socialism, as large fortunes are al
ways acquired through ownership
of large enterprises. Yes, this is true.
But you must remember that this
system that breeds millionaires also
breeds paupers and tramps, and it is
a good deal better that nearly all
should have enough than that we
should have these undesirable citi-
zens. Take a hog, for instance. He
knows enough to lie down when he
gets enough, but the millionaire
never.
The incentive for few men to be-
come worse than a hog is poor in
centive. The incentive that holds
out hope for all to acquire enough is
far better. The reporting agencies
tell us that over nine out of ten men
fail in business under the present
system. The incentive it offers is to
few and weak for the many
Socialism offers incentive to ali
and plenty. The defenders of cap
italsm are presuming on the dense
ignorance of the masses when they
trot out incentive as their leading OBJ
lection. If that is the. best they can
do they better shut up shop.-D. F.

OBJECT OF THESE COLUMNS

The democrats of Bear Lake coun-
ty are without a newspaper thru
which to present their claim for re-
cognition to the voters of the county
at the November election, and the
best they have been able to do along
this line is to secure space from the
two republican newspapers of the
county for this purpose.
During the campaign there will
appear in this space. from week to
week, articles, items, facts and sug-
gestions in support of the principles
and policies for which the party is
contending in this campaign, and
also something of the candidates
whose names will appear in the dem
ocratic column on the ballot at the
coming election.
1t will be the intention of those
managing the democratic campaign
in Bear Lake county to be just, fair
and reasonable. They believe that
the voters should thoroly investigate
the questions at issue in this cam
paign and come to a decision as to
how they will vote free from bias
or prejudice; and to this end they
respectfully ask that the voters of
the county, without regard to party
Affiliations, carefully read and con-
slider what they have to say in these
columns from week to week.

THE AMERICAN QUARTET
DREW LARGE ATTENDING

Due either to the fact that the
high school students In charge of
the publicity work for the lyceum
course are getting into form, or be-
cause the people of Montpelier APP
preciate and more freely attend mu-
steal programs than they do lectures,
the entertainment offered at the
opera house last evening by the
American Quartet, the second num-
Der of the course, drew an audience
that nearly filled the auditorium.
According to the opinion of those
who heard the entertainment, it was
excellent from every standpoint and
will undoubtedly add to the attend
ance at future numbers of the course.

NOTES OR MEN

Independent newspapers are be-
coming more numerous thruout the
country, and the voters think about
and reason out for themselves the
correct solution of the political ques-
tions confronting the country from
time to time and are looking more
and more to Independent papers for
assistance along this line. It Is now
generally considered that party pa
pers, especially during political cam
paigns, are more or less prejudiced.
So the great majority of the voters
are learning not to put too much
credence in what they see and read
in these party papers during the
campaigns, and are looking to the
independent newspapers for the most
reliable information on political mat
tiers.
Below appears a non-partisan ar
ticle from the Detroit Evening News
with reference to the accusation con-
tinually being made against Presi-
dent Wilson by the partisan papers
opposing him. It will be appreciated
by all voters who stand for fair play
and a square deal. The article fol-
lows:
1t may not much matter who ad-
ministers the next presidential period
of the United States. But it does mat
ter that fairness and balance of ma
tional thought characterize this pres
idential campaign above all others.
And there are many gratifying signs
that the nation is disposed to Judge
calmly and with scrupulous justice
between the claims OF the two candi-
dates and parties on the issues to be
determined especially the issues
that concern our procedure in home
and foreign matters as they touch
the war.
1t appears from preliminary state
ments that the main republican con-
tention in the campaign is to be the
alleged ',,vacillating weakness" OF
President Wilson. It equally appears
from the democratic preliminaries
that their contention will rest upon
the alleged wisdom and strength dis
played by the president.
The difficulty Of proving President
Wilson to have been weak" is a
very real one, since the alleged weak
ness has not involved the nation in

While en- route to Omaha last
week President Wilson said to the
women at one city in Iowa where he
spoke for a short time that he was
sorry that they could not vote for
him. Yet be it remembered that
during the session of the SD con-
gress the president opposed the pas
sage of the amendment to the feder-
al constitution proposing to give wo-
men the right of suffrage every
state in the union. Furthermore. du-
ring the last session of congress he
never turned his hand toward aiding
In the passage of this amendment.
But now he tells the women of Iowa
that he is sorry they haven't the
right to vote. Sort o. deathbed re-
pentance on the part of the presi-
dent.

HUGHES ATTITUDE IN
REGARD TO LABOR

Truth is mighty and will prevail,
as much so in a political campaign
as in any other contest. The desper-
ate effort that is being made to capt
alize the Adamson act for the Dene-
1T of the party that has the igno-
minious distinction of passing 1t, Is
founded upon falsehood and decep-
ton. and out of it grow other false
hoods. Not content with iaureling
labor-Woodrow Wilson who In l9OS
labor-Woodrow Wilson whoi n 1909
publicly declared that 81 am fierce
partisan of the open shop" and VINO
in 1907 spoke of the labor organiza-
tions and leaders OF the country" as
"a formidable enemy to equality and
bctterment of opportunity. his par
tisans are holding up Mr.. Hughes as
1.-THE enemy of labor" This is as un-
true and as vicious as the claim that
the Adamson law established the
eight-hour.
Mr.. Hughes attitude in regard to
labor was fairly expressed in an edit
orial in the official organ OF organ
lied labor in the state of New York,
at the time he was appointed JUS
tice of the supreme court. We printed
this utterance a few weeks ago; we
here present 1t again:
Now that Gov. Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to
place on the highest judicial tri-
bunal in the world. the fact can be
acknowledged, without hurting any
body's political corns, that he was
the greatest friend of labor that ever
occupied the governors chair at Al
bany. During his two terms he has
signed fifty-six labor laws, including
among them the best labor laws ever
enacted in this or any other state
He also urged the enactment of labor
laws in his message to the legisla
ture, even going so far as to place
the demand for a labor law in one
OF his messages to an extra session
of the legislature. Only 1862 Labor
laws have been enacted in this STATE
since its erection in 1777-in 13I
years. One-third OF these, exceedint
in quality all of the others, hav'
been enacted and signed during Gov
Hughes term of three years and min
months"
That is an unbiased statement o
Mr.. Hughes record, made at tim
when 1t was supposed that he wa
permanently removed from the fiel
of politics. The legislation referre
to included child labor laws, cover
ing the prohibition of child labor un
der certain ages, the regulation G
child labor or permissible age, out
having certain machines and indus
trial practices in relation to chill
labor, law safeguarding women !
employment, and numerous other Ell
actments, all designed to protect ID
Dor and protect its interests. Thes
are the things Mr.. Hughes was doin
at the time Woodrow Wilson wa
saying: You know what the usut
standard of the employee is in on
day. 1t is to give as little as he ma
for his wages. Labor is standardize
by the trades unions, and this Is tn
standard to which it is made to col
form" Mr.. Hughes does not truck
to labor or to any other interest. +
does what he believes Is fair an
right to all.--St. Louis Globe-Dem'

By.Produet Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country
has been adopting the by-product cox
ing process at marvellous rate. There
are practically no by-prOduct coke
plants in the United States, which do
not recover ammonia, tar and light oil
(crude benZOD.
In the vast majority of the plants
also surplus gas is recovered and util-
lied either at the plant itself or by
distribution to outside consumers.
There are possibly two or three very
small by-product coke plants at which
tar and ammonia are not recovered for
disposal to the outside markets, but
these would certainly represent con-
siderably less than 1 per cent Of the
total by-product coking capacity Of

FIND VOLCANO IN MlNDANA0
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu
tenant DonneIly Says Of the
Discovery.

Mndanao has new-volcano, accord
Ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on a hike into the
interior of Lanao province, discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range Of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist. Lieutenant
Donnelly says of his discovery In the
following report:
June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in
command Of a combined detachment
Of the First Cotabato company, and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Plagayungan
mountain range, came in sight Of an
active volcano which from all indica-
lions had recently erupted discharge
Of volcanic ash and either smoke or
fame.
From the fact that foliage In the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles to the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation Of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the sc0rched
leaves retaining their form, 1t was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de-
stroyed the fragile remnants Of the
burned foliage"
