Wages and Standards
 Higher in the West

(FrOm tLe San Francisco Chroniclel
 President Wilson's mediation com mission has just made its report on labor unrest. and it is devoted entire ly to conditions west Of the Rocky mountains. Its fndines are that there is a feeling of hostility between em- ployevs snd employed which oughf not tc exisr. and that the L. W. ". is flour ishing. Al the same time. the com mission finds that the majority cf those who carry the !. w. W. card are decent, loyal men, who take mem bership as an expression Of discOn- tent without any a-tive sympathy with the designs Of their anarchistic leaders.
 But the commission did not find for publication what is certainly t~ue. which is that both wages and result ing possible standards of Twins are and aiNays have been higher in west ern America than in ally other part of the country or the world
 Why. therefore, should the machi- nations of the anarchist leadership Dc more successful in the west than in other parts of the country. where con ditiOns Of labor are far less favorable 9
 The commission does not touch bot tom Nor is it such a report as 9 suita ably constituted commission would make. It condemns pTOfiteer- ing by the employing class, indicates that laboI has many things which ii may properly wish for, reproves tho uncOmprcmising attitude of some em- piOyers, but nowhere indicates that employers have any grievances, or that labor ever commits wrOngs.

 A trusted minister Of the Huni hierarchy has turned ROlsheviki and tegun telling tales out of school This sctism between State Engineer Lamar Cobb and Governor Hunt should occasion no surprise. The only wonder is that it did not occur years ago, for Ccbb is distinctly not a fair representative Of the Hunt type ct office kClder.
 Cobb endeavors to inject a certain measure Of efficiency into the admin istration of his office. For a Hunt leppoinIee to do this is little less than i high treason. Hunt does not make appointments with the expectation that the persons thus chosen for his gracious favor will do what the stat nays them to do. They are appointed to spread Hunt propaganda and glori- fv the Eame of George Willie Paul
 Hunt should have known better than to appoint Cobb to office, and Cobb should have known better than 10 try 10 hold his iob by building good reads. He had before him tha example of Charlie Harris, Hunts ad- iutsnt general Harris mismanaged his job until the national guard o. Arizona was entirely disrupted, bu- Hunt didn't care Harris iOyally tray eled about the state, his expenses paid out of the public treasury, and spread -he gospel of Huntism. He made sreeehes for Hunt He worked open Iy and secretly by day and by night for his boss.
 As a result. Harris is one Of Hunt s fair-haired boys and will continue to hold his job. receiving all the emolu- ments thereof, as long Ss the present eaoist remains in the gubernatoriai chair. Cobb IS a parish, an outcast from the feasts of the faithful He has played Judas because the Hum machine insisted on taking out Of his hands and mismanaging the office tat Cobb managed so well
 You don't know how to handle tha, iob.~ Hunts commission of state IT. stitutiuns said in ehect. You gc around spending the states money on good roads: you have spent your time workiEg for the state and its people instead of for our master and his ma chine. Tou stand aside and be figurehead; we'll spend the money
 A southern gentleman and con scien,ious office holder like Cobb couldn't stand for anything like that Had it rot been for his Overweenlng egotism. Hunt would have known It
 One could not expect the commission of state institutions or Wiley Jones to know anything.
 Cobb has started suit 10 prevent the commission running his office He has made public a letter to the governor. giving a history of the con troyersy and his personal opinion oi Hunts go-fetch-em boys
 Cobb's letter is a very interesin document. in spite of the fact that he tells nothing new. He confesses thaa he has endeayored to he good state engineer. which was the last thing that Hunt expected Of him He refers to Homer Wood as a man devoid or high ideals who viii. without scrupie' biacken the reputation of any man 10 accomplish his purpose.

Alas for Poland. Promised freedom by Kerensky. the Bolsheviki plotted out this single ray. Civil war is now raging between the Poles and those radical disciples of world freedom as ftly led by Trotzky and Lenine. And in the meantime Germany is waiting to gobble up both of them with one gulp. The only chance that Poland has had since Peter the Greats time for freedom from insufferable tyranny was lost when free Russia went on the Bolsheviki debauch and demor- alized her immense armias An allied victory means a freed Poland and a chance for Russia to ind herself.

ROMANCE IN RUSKINS LIFE
Divergent Religious Views for Long
Time Separated Him From the
Woman He Loved.

In 1866 Ruslin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
of his hope TO make her his wife, says
]. Howard Whitehouse In Scribner's.
There was q great difference of years
between them. Ruskin was forty-sev-
en- Rosie was In her eighteenth year.
There was some natural hesitation on
the part Of the parents, and 1t was ar
ragged that the matter should.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period OF probation
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on the
part of the parents. but also by Rosie.
Miss La Touche was of deeply re-
liglous naturg but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions in which
Ruskln increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days OF her childhood (;
hut she doubted II, holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskin suffered the deepest
distress.
For n little time there was es-
arrangement and there is moving en-
try in Ruskin's diary in the year 1870:
Last Friday about twelve O'Clock n
noon my mistress passed me and
would not speak, In the following
year there was reconciliation.
The end OF Ruskin's dream came IN
1875. Miss La Touches health never
strong, began TO fail, and she died ID
