INTEREST IN EMPLOYEES
WELFARE.

Wesley Everett, manager of the Am
azon- Dixie Mining company at Sildix
Mont, has inaAgurated an education
al scheme for the benefit of employees
Of the company which might be
adopted with profit to all concerned
by larger companies among whose
employees are many of foreign birth.
Mr.. Everett. found that there was a
real desire among the foreign born
employees of the company to become
more proficient in the English Ian
guage as a means of becoming more
thoroughly Americanized and better
fitting themselves for the duties of
citizenship. He therefore proposed to
conduct night school for their bene-
ut, conducted by himself and Mrs. Ev-
erett, who is an experienced school
teacher. The plan was outlined to
Mrs Wright, superintendent of pub
lie schools of Mineral county. who
manifested the greatest interest in

ARE THE ALIENS DOING THEIR
SHARE?

Hon John M. Evans is determined
to continue his fight in congress until
all aliens of the allies, who are fitted
for war, enlist either under their own
flag or the flag of the United States.
Mr.. Evans insists also that the aliens
from Germany and other countries
fighting us bear their share Of the
burdens of the war. "I can not per-
suade myself to believe" he declares,
"that it is our duty to send 10000
American boys to the front and leave
$4,000 alien boys at home to take the
Jobs of our citizens fighting in the
trenches"
His viewpoint, doubtless, is a new
one to many of us. That is, we had
not just thought of it in that way,
probably. But is not Mr.. Evans about
right? Why should the alien enjoy
ing the protection Of the United
States government and the greater
freedom they find here be allowed to
stay at home in preference to our
boys. and besides profit by the alb
sence of our boys in taking good posi-
tions vacated by American citizens
when they left for the front?

THE 1918 FOOD CAMPAIGN

The food production campaign as
war measure necessarily came late
this year. War was not declared
until April. By that time the farm
ers' plans for the season were prac-
tically made. Little could be done
except to get lot of people work
ing in a small way on home gardens,
This was useful, but for any big pro-
duction we must look to our profes-
sional food raisers-the farmers.
Now it is a principle of human
effort that you can get more out
of people by going direct to them
and stating your case than in any
other way. If board of trade wants
to raise money for a public object,
1t can't do 1t merely by issuing gen.
eral statements. Every one says,
'Let George do it,. The board Of
ficials must get out among Smith
and Jones and tell them they ought
to help and that they must. Under
personal pressure, they come across.
II is the same way with the gov
ernment. The whole country should
be organized There should be COM
mittees for every state, county, and
town. Every farmer should be inter-
viewed in a friendly way by his home
committee. They should ask him
to go the limit to increase his area
of cultivated crops. Under that So
licitation great many pledges of
such increase will be made and kept.
In a great many cases such COM
mittees would find that the farmer
would like to raise more but can't
on account of some difficulty. He
may need more equipment. II so,
and II he is person fairly entitled
to receive credit, the interest of some
bank or lending company should be
solicited to help him out.
In a great many cases the lack
is simply that the farmer can't get
help. That situation should be sim
ilarily taken up and everything pos
sible done to meet the need In these
ways big increase over even the
present large production can be Sc
cured. 1t will not merely help win
the war but 1t will increase every
ones prosperity.

IMMEDIATE PEACE.

The people who are demanding an
immediate peace should reflect that,
on the basis of present territory hold
ings, this would leave Germany the
winner of the war. Her autocracy
would claim that 1t had made good,
that its theory Of government had
vindicated itself, that autocracy is
more efficient than democracy, and
that the necessity of militarism had
been thoroughly demonstrated. Ger
many would remain on her militaris-
tic basis,
That would make 1t necessary for
all the other great powers to continue
on the same basis. The United
States would not forget Ambassador
Gerard's warning, that Germany pro-
posed to collect the indemnity 1t de-
sired from the United. States. 1t also
would remember Germany's aspira-
tions for colonial holdings in Central
and South America. Such holdings
would be contrary to American prip-
ciples and in defence of our Monroe
doctrine.
Universal service would be neces-
sary in this country. with a large
standing army and a vast body of
thoroughly trained men ready for In
stant mobilization. A vast equipment
of explosives, small arms, big guns
of all calibers, air craft, coast de-
fenses, must be created. The navy
would need to be greatly augmented,
with big number of submarines
This force would have to be kept up
to date with incessant changes. The
United States would be spending sew
eral billions a year on its army and
navy.
If the United States will continue
in this war with all its heart 1t can
put an end to this menace. It is not
a question of seizing any territory
belonging to the German people. 1t
is simply a question of demonstrat-
ing to them that autocracy does not
pay. When that fact is demonstrat-
ed they will reorganize on a demo-
cratic basis. Then the United States
can disarm, or nearly soy It will be
made much cheaper to fight 1t out
for year or two than to endure mil
itarism indefinitely.

BETTER BUSINESS ADAnNIsTRA.
TION

Kansas is trying the experiment
OF a state commission of three men,
bers with a business manager to han
die all state affairs The state gov
ernment is to be something besides
an elementary institution to hand out
political plums and provide fat
places. One of the greatest oppor-
tunities for reduction of taxes lies
in this direction, and its application
could be made to county affairs. The
people nominate and elect about Is
persons for various county offices,
most Of whom they do not know as
to qualifications. Most of these per-
sons go to the legislature for their
compensation and many of them have
power to incur expenditures and buy
supplies. They are all interested in
getting through their work as easily
as possible and are kind Of politi-
cal union.
The three county commissioners
are supposed to manage the county
business, but after the legislature
is through have little to say New
burdens are imposed on the taxpay-
ers by the county officials and all
the commissioners have to do is make
mp the levy The requirements are
fixed by law and in the aggregate
make up the total demanded for
county purposes and no reform is
possible. The three county commits
sioners should be high-class business
men and should have full authority to
hire and fire all the rest of the coun-
ty employees and purchase all sup
plies.
The three commissioners or board
of directors of the county should
have power to hire first-class busi-
ness manager for the county and the
business should be as carefully con-
Quoted as any large corporation, The
result would be a more efficient serv-
fee in the management of county af-
fairs and with application Of busi-
ness principles expense of county
government would come down 25 to
80 per cent.

PATRIOTIC oRATORY.

In order for a nation to wage war
successfully 1t is necessary for the
people to understand what they are
fighting for. In the civil war the
dividing issues had been talked, ar
gued and debated for a generation.
Everyone on both sides of the line
knew what he was fighting for.
In this war the issues are largely
new. There are many people who do
not read much, who do not thorough
ly understand what we are fighting
for. They should be made to see how
our rights as a nation have been
trampled upon, They should under
stand how when once a nation al
lows its citizens to be murdered with
out taking action to stop it, 1t is for
ever afterward viewed with contempt
and no attention is paid to its de-
mands. A nation as we'll as man
must stand up for Its rights.
Here is a call for patriotic ora
tory. Our congressman will soon be
coming home. Let them get to work
in this way. Everyone who has the
gift of public speech should be draft
ed in this cause. A feature of every
crossroads picnic and public meeting
should be the patriotic speech, In
which the causes of the war should
be made clear to all the people.

TROLLEY LINE HAZARDS

Recent months have been some
what free from serious transporta-
tion accidents. The safety first cam
paign is working. But while con-
ditions on the railroads are improv-
ing, other perils are made mani
fest, as In the serious accident oc-
curing at North Branford, Ct,
where a head-on collision of trolley
cars killed eighteen people. Many
fast running electric lines are sub
ject to like hazards.
These perils are augmented by the
fact that many electric lines are not
as prosperous as when they started.
They used to be called the poor
mans automobile, and people rode
on them for pleasure. On pleasant
afternoons many tired mothers and
picnic parties were out riding for
fun. After the novelty wore off,
this source of revenue fell off. Ex-
penses increased and many lines that
looked like bonanza at first found
themselves up against hard times.
Such conditions lead to economies
which may affect safe operation. A
rode whose stockholders are clamor-
ing for dividends feels too poor to
keep up with the best safety equip
ment. The roads are often not able
to pay wage enough to get motor
men Of the responsible type that
operate railroad locomotives. Fre-
,quently also employees are worked
long hours and are not physically and
mentally alert.
Whether conditions like these
could have had anything to do with
this Connecticut accident or not,
they exist everywhere electric lines
run at high speed. They affect
wide range Of people, as they are
one of the country's important trans
portation links, They are used for
business and travel purposes by peo-
pie from remote distances.
Although a road may be hard up,
yet its management should remem-
Der that 1t must ally itself with the
safety first movement. Good equip
ment is necessary, but vigilance
counts even more. Rigid obedience
of rules should be required and en-
ployes should be given decent per-
iods Of rest.

MILLIONS IN LIVESTOCK
DESTROYED BY TRAINS
Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth
Killed on One Road in Nine
Months.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The de-
partment OF commerce has issued a
statement saying that millions in
livestock are destroyed on the rail-
road tracks" in the south. 1t is
stated that 100000 worth of cattle
were killed on the Central of Geor-
sia railway during the first nine
months Of this year. The number
of stock needlessly wasted that wav
was 1852
The department says: "Fine dairy
cows and beef cattle were included
as well as hogs, sheep and geese.
During these nine months one
animal was killed for every mile Of
track on the Central Of Georgia, and
If that figure can be accepted as a
basis for estimating the loss for the
entire country, the destruction OF
food animals on the railway tracks
of the United States during the first
nine months of the year can be put
lat $2,76O,OOO or $3,6SO,OO for the
whole year.
The department of commerce does
not know that some sections of Geor-
gia have the fence law" that is the
cows are permitted to roam at large
and the crops are fenced. Where
this state OF affairs prevails the
cows travel the railroad tracks at
times. and some Of them are killed.
North Carolina used to have a
long casualty list Of cows that per-
sisted in wandering along the rail
roads in the "fence law" country A
famou. case was that in which a
young bull was knocked from the
track OF railroad by a train. and
sent whirling on fisherman who sat
holding his hook and line 100 or
more feet below. The fisherman,
Col. w. Fl. Warrington, was knocked
into the creek, and sustained a bro
ken rib and other injuries A suit
was brought to recover damages
from the railroad but the court held
that the bull should have been sued
for 1t was because of his negligence
that Colonel Warrington was wound
ed.
About that time North Carolina
began to eliminate the "fence law
territory, and fence the cattle and
not the crops. Georgia is far be-
hind.
