REAL MENACE OF TIL /. W. W.

The characteristic of the 1. w. w.
movement most worthy of serious con-
sideration is the decay of the Ideals Of
thrift and industry. To this can be
added, in place o. the old tire tradi-
tioaal loyalty to the employ>r. a sus-
tanned antagonism to him. The cas-
ual laborer of the West t!:e;ftts away
from his job without refct lion as to
the effect of this on the welfare of
the employer; he feels little Interested
in the quality Of workmanship, and is
always, not only a potential striker,
but ready to take up political Or legal
war against the employing class. This
sullen hospitality has been steadily
growing in the last ten yeas. It is
not as melcdramic as sabota~,, but
vastly more important. To tic stu
dent it is Of major Importance, be-
cause it can be linked up more directly
and with moe accuracy to it's pcycholo-
gical causes. In a word, it is : ,atur-
al psychic outcome of a Distressing
and anti-soc'o' l"bor condition, This
sullen hostility develcpcs worry ratur-
ally the surface manifestations of I'M
patriotism, hostility to religion, and
unlawful action; but the more import
ant characteristic is the deeper econo-
mlc one of the growing unreliaibility
and decay Of the workmanlike spirit
among the migratory laborers.-Carl-
ton H. Parker, in the November Allan
tie

The three weeks of Indian summer
which the people of North Dakota
have been enjoying was brought to a
sudden close Sunday with q decided
change in the atmosphere. A couple
inches of now fell Monday which has
been slowly disappearing s,,cc. There
are some disagreements among the
weather prophets but the r.cvailing
opinion is that it will all leave within
a few days.

The case of Henry Roseth and Hen
ny Askelson on a charge of bringing
liquor into a dry territory came to a
hasty conclusion. It seems that the
reason the boys were not back to Ed
more as soon as the marshal, was be-
cause the mashal drove a Ford, and
you can't beat a Ford.

Houston replied.
Many here have thought that

Another instance OF where the gov

the fact that Sunday President VIII
