THE DRIFT OF LABOR
Natural For Ii To Seek TIE Line OF
Industry Paying The
Best Wages.

The labor shortage of the country is
one that is developing into serious
problem for all lines of industry.
There is. as yet, no such thing as gov
eminent regulation to distribute the
amount OF available labor 10 the diff
ferenf essential industries and flx the
rate of pay, as there is in the case OF
Federal supervision of the distribu-
ton and price of coal and transporta-
ton service. The availability OF Ia
Dor. under the existing emergency,
have been adjusted largely by the bid
for il in the way of increased wages
by our industrial plants, as 1t is only
natural for labor TO seek the line OF
industry paying the best wages.
Therefore, the industry that can or
will pay the highest wages for the
various kinds of service to be per-
formed. is solving its labor problem
to some extent at the expense OF
other industries requiring the same
character of labor but either unable
or not inclined to compete for its re-
quirements.
or the various industries, farming
J has been slow TO recognize the princi-
pie of the necessity of competing with
other industries in the matter of the
rate of pay for farm hands. No small
number of our country boys have quit
the farm for the more remunerative
job in the factory and this is situa-
ton that should receive the attention
of our agricultural authorities in the
great G mpaign that is beinf conduct
ed for increasing the food supply. OF
| the industries essential to the sue
| cess of our national defense, that OF
farming can be classed as of the
greatest Importance The farmer is
shouldering one of the big responsible
| tiles in the great world conflict and
| he is receiving no more cooperation
| in the way of government aid in OBJ
tanning a good price for his products
| than that to which he is entitled. The
products of all essential industries are
bringing good prices because it costs
more TO produce them under condi-
| tions of war The same with refer
ence to the essential products of the
| farm: il takes more to produce good
crops today because of the increase in
the cost of everything used in the in
dustry of farming, namely, machinery.
| fertilizers, seeds, lime and labor.
Make farming more attractive to la
Dor and insure the proper cultivation
and harvesting of every crop that is
grown. Adjust the amount of acre
I age to be worked to the ability of CIV
| ing it the right preparation of the
| seed bed and the proper cultivation
| of the crop Too many farmers are
trying to work too many acres. BY
the efficient use of capital and labor,
and by building up the soil of fewer
acres to high state of fertility with
manure. cover crops, lime and fertiliz-
| ers, and the concentration of effort
upon It, greater will be the yields and
the harvest The farmer must turn
| to intensive methods of cultivation
and he must meet the reasonable de-
mands of labor as are all the essential
l industries charged with the RESPONSE
bility of keeping up the supply of all
of our war necessities.

DADDY LONG LEGS
Coming to the Colonial Theatre Friday,
November 9.

Henry Miller received the manu-
script of Daddy Long-Legs from Jean
Webster, the author, while in Los
Angeles -hree years ago when playing
in The Rainbow At the time he hest
tated about producing the play, feel
ing it might be too juvenile for
grown-up audiences. But his "hunch"
was wrong. Since then four COM
panies have given it nearly two
thousand performances on three con-
tinents. it has paid the author in
royalties two hundred and odd thou
sand dollars, it has made two stars,
Ruth Chatterton and Rene Kelly, and
has piled up a fortune for Mr.. Mil
Ter and his associates. Frances Stir
ling Clarke and Edwin Brandt will be
seen in it here at the Colonial Theatre

Traction, Light and Power company, that company has been authorized by the state public service commission to purchase one-man street cars to operate in the City of Seattle, and also reconstruct certain of their pres ent cars into one-man affairs.
 The application stated the com pany desired to purchase such num- Der of one-man cars as may be deem- ed necessary. and to operate them in the City of Seattle" and also that it be allowed to reconstruct such num- Der of its single truck cars as ot may deem advisable. The order of the commission allowing the petition of the traction company says in part: Ut is ordered that the prayer of the petition be granted; the type of car so authorized to be purchased and operated to be of the general type of car No. 142 in operation on the Sum- init avenue line. and heretofore in- spected and approved by the commits sion."
 Before making its application the Seattle Traction company awaited the action of the commission on the peti- tion of the Washington Water Power company of Spokane for permission to put in and operate a similar type of car. The commission after hearing authorized the Spokane Traction com pany to put in the simplified car on certain lines, the prOviso being in- serted that the routes had to be ap- proved by the commission before the cars could be put in operation.

WAR AND CHTVALRY

War quickens the instinct of chiv- airy that is in most men in varying degrees of dormancy. Generosity is one of the truest attributes of cour- age. Men who go to the firing line are made by the danger they expose themselves to more susceptible to this influence, but even those who re- main at home ought not to be alto- gether impervious. A nation in the mass ought to act more chivalrously when it is at war than when it is not. The opportunity to practice chiv- airy will not be wanting for those of us who stay at home. There is one way in which all of us can practice it. This is by showing something more than the wonted courtesy to all Ger mans with whom we come in con- tact. Either they are citizens o- guests of the country. If citizens, they de- serve to be exempt from suspicion so long as they refrain from doing any thing to awaken it; and if guests. they are entitled to it by the laws of Hospitality so long as they do not abuse hospitality. To make deroga- tory remarks about Germans or other wise act offensively toward them is nob an exhibition of patriotism, it is an exhibition of hoodlumism. which injures the cause it is meant to help. The man who stoops to this method of showing his patriotism is very apt to be one of the class which would be first caught by the conscription law: that is, they are men whose pat Tiotism is not of the quality that urges Monitor

 Just how much influence the ac- tivities of the suffragettes, who were "a real factor before the war. have contributed in behalf of equal suf- frage. it is difficult to say. It is cer- tain that the militants kept the issue fully before the public. On the other hand they were so unfair, so unwo- manly, that their energies undoubt- edly had a boomerang effect in a large measure. After all, it will be hard for them to convince England that the premier's position Is dictated by their acts of coercion and lawless- ness.
 The great factor is tc be found in conditions arising out of the war. The struggle is spreading the leaven of democracy-as witness the Russian revolution. The leaders are forced to recognize that it is the people who are fighting the battles, and in En- gland the women are doing their "bit" in way that has raised the sex in the estimation of the country. Former Premier Asquith. who was baited constantly by the militant suf- fragettes, is the man who made the motion for electoral reforms. includ- ing that recognizing the value of the modern English woman to the state. Universal suffrage is certain to be- come a fact throughout the civilized
 world-probably sooner than we think. The issue had a conspicuous place in our national campaign last fall and will come up again with prac- tical certainty of success. The battle of equal suffrage, like the war against
 liquor, is not confined to any one country; it is becoming worldwide.

ROOsEvELT-s PEACE TERMS

Former President Theodore Roose- welt has outlined what he considers should be the peace terms of the Uni ted States with Germany. How far the peace makers will go when the war is over to carry out the former presidents ideas is of course, mat ter of conjecture, but nevertheless the views of so distinguished a man as Colonel Roosevelt are of profound interest. Under the heading Put the Flag on the Firing Line" Colonel Roosevelt in the June Metropolitan Magazine, says:
 "The Prussianized Germany of the Hohenzollerns has shown itself even more the enemy of freedom and hu- manity and justice aEc international right than was Napoleon's France. Let us strive for the peace of justice and of international right. Did they but know it, the German people them- selves would benefit by our victory; and especially the people of South Germany and of Austria, who would be free from the tyranny of Prussia, and would be guaranteed in all their rights--surely more than an offset for not being allowed wrong others. Belgium and France must have all that is taken from them restored.
 "The Turk must leave Europe-a democratic Russia at Constantinople will threaten no one. Armenia should be freed from autonomous. Austria is not country, but knot of na- tionalities, of which two tyrannize over the others. Let the Hungarians keep Makyar Hungary, and the Aus trians, German Austria. Let the Ital- ians have the Trentino and Trieste. Let there be a great Servia, great Bohemia, great Rumania. Poland should once more be a nation, which should include all the Polish lands, and have an outlet on the Baltic thru old Polish Prussia, old West Prussia. East Prussia, which is German, would be unavoidably separated from the other German lands; but it could be kept united with them politically; and also commercially by arrange ments for through railway traffic such as we have with Canada as regards our international railroads.
