UNDERMINED MEN
 WANT BETTER WAGES

An employe of the Santa Fe clerical force in Kingman is asking why the Unorganized forces of the railroad companies have been overlooked in the general improvement in the wage scale. The Miner has many times ob- served that when a strong organiza- tion was lack of a wage movement the railroad officials sat up and took notice, but lne application for wage revision upward by the unorganized forces were allowed to go by unheed- ed. Take the track force as an illus tration. These poor devils were paid off at the rate of about $7.50 per week. We are not informed what they are getting now, but suppose there has been no appreciable raise. The cleri- cal force is treated about the same way. Men who should be drawing from S100 to S125 per month get about $50 or less. Their positions are responsi- bie, as the railroads could not operate without their services. We supposed the commission would see that this branch of the service was treatel right as soon as the government took over the leads, but evidently they were overlooked Gs not consequential.

are still lacking to show how much additional revenue such an added tax would bring into the Federal Treasury but it was made plain that such addi- tional tax is considered altogether un- necessary in view of the fact that the excess profits taxes already agreed on are generally regarded as sufficiently heavy to take the 'profiteering'' out of any business whatsoever.
 The committee again considered the tax on tobacco. It was discussed and the general sentiment apparently was in favor of increasing materially the tax on tobacco manufacturers, import CTS and producers and imposing a. re- tail sales tax. What these taxes will be Is uncertain, their determination awaiting figures from the Treasury as to what might be expected from the imposition of various suggested rates
 The committee expects to proceed with various miscellaneous taxes to- morrow.

Attack on Gen. Shuts.

Althtk olt "Cfl tSIuutS.
 Quoting Gen. Smuts Glasgow speech at length Lord Lansdowne comments: Hum bier persons have been held up to execration for using language of this kind. Gen Shuts has given the coup de grace to the knockout blow, and points the way to true conception of that victory which all of us regard as indispens- ab bic, victory aiming not only at mo- mentary security under which Pres ident Wilson's ideals can eventually be realized.
 The test of it's completeness will be found in the enemy's readiness to throw aside the doctrines of extreme militarisn and accept the terms which he would not have been al lowed to look at when he set out upon his desperate enterprise
 Lansdowne said that he was not prepared to affirm that the stage ha q been reached where there was a prospect of preliminary agreem ent on the essential points of profitable considerations .r.
 But" he adds, there are abun- dant. indications that such occasions may present fhemSefveS in the near future. Let us be prepared to meet them, and in a reasonable spirit let us give our adversries the chance Of showing whether their overtures are sincere or not"
 On the argument that the nom ent in which the Allies are achieving glorious successes in the field is not the moment for limiting st peace, he says. Tn the face of the world wide calamities the war has brought no moment that can be inopportune for considering reasonable proposals If one moment is more opportune than another r. is the moment when events have shown that whatever be the feeling which inspires it it is not one of doubt as to our ability to hold our own in this deadly struggle if we are forced to continue it.
 Lord Lansdowne's letter concludes:
 If one moment is more opportune than another it Is the moment when events have shown that, whatever be the feeling which inspires us, it is not one of doubt as to our ability to hold our own in this deadly strug- gle if we are forced to continue it.

Luke McLuke Says

When Nature was making some men she gave them too much jawbone and not enough backbone.
 And there wouldn't be much wrong with this world if we were all as per feet as we think we are.
 Our idea of an odd man is one who won't try to get even.
 A man will get mad fifty times a day, and that's all right. But if his wife gets mad once a day he wants a di- vorce.
 After all. genius is merely a man who becomes inconsistent to a certain degree.
 There is some pleasure in cussing a balky horse because the animal will show some sensitiveness. But what pleasure is there in cussing a balky au- tonobile?
 You can't blame a hog for being a hog But you can blame a man for be- ing that way.
 Ever notice how low wages are when you want to work for the other fellow, and how high wages when you want the other fellow to work for you?
 It doesn't matter what town a man halls from. he is willing to bet that his town has the best Fire Department in the country
 Any married woman can tell you that @ Brute is a man who won't let his wife and his children impose on him.
 A man who is poorly dressed may be rich. But when a woman is poorly dressed she is poor.
 This would be great world if every body was pleasant and smiling as the agent who wants to sell you something
 It may seem strange. But it is a fact that the women who do their own housework are not the ones who suffer from nervous breakdowns.
 A man may love his wife from the the bottom of his heart and still have q lot of room left at the top.
 When two men are telling each oth CT how hard they work, each is think ing what monumental liar the other is.

Wuc,

Do you believe in this theory that a man is what he eats and that his character is formed by his food?" ask ed John Smith.
 '1 certainly do,'' replied Ananias Jones. Why. l knew a man in Mil waukee who lived almost entirely on frankfurters. He used to eat them at every meal, and at night would eat half dozen frankfurters for lunch be- fore going to bed. And, do you know, he has got so that every time he saw cat he would chase it up tree and would sit on his launches with his nose up in the air waiting for the cat to come down. Then he got to buryng bones in the back yard. and he used to bark for an hour when he heard a noise in the house at night. But the blow card came when his wife divorced him because he was full of heas, and that Summer he got hydrophobia and died"

It is interesting what unanimous respect and approbaon is given all through the allied countries President Wilson's leadership As the goes and the Presidents grasp of a terribly difficult situation becomes complete, the power of his leadership is apparent His recent message to Congress is greeted with prac- ticay unanimous approval in Europe No other statesmen in the allied countries is accepted to such a an extent as the spokesman for the forces of democratic government.
 Hitherto Europe has been rather condescendng toward America We have been looked as entitled to a position of leadership any way. But President Wilson's discriminating perception of the issues involved, gives him recognition that country should be proud of
 In Europe far from the political divisions of land, his power is fully recognized. is seen that he is thinking great world problems in big and constructive way, and seeing all around them. where most only side of them.
 His recent message impresses the world for it's broad minded and appeal to democratic senti- ment in the Teutonc countries. MT. Wilson is wise a serpent in his encouragement of the growing democratic feeling in those lands. He appeals over the head of the lords to the people, and the yes of rage from the reptile press Germany shows that he hits the mark
 With the Presidents clear vision thus recognized in all the lands fighting for democracy can ac- cept his leadership and loyalty to it with constantly increasing confidence It is up to Congress to fall into line without parsanship and to provide what further legislation is necessary. No one asks Congress swallow Presidents recom- mendations blindfolded. But the advice of so accepted as world leader must command tremendous respect.

 Scientists have figured out the average amount of salt carried by the rivers of the world total and have compared it with the total quantity of salt in the From these data (takng into account evaporation and rate of stream flow) it is possible to reckon how many years have been required to make the salt they today.

 As usually happens among the lifferent parties who keep ham nering away at Congress and the President is a woman, who has list ed herself with the politicians, and who gained considerable prominence Dy taking to herself credit for pro- 1ibition. She is to appear before the President, so Q local paper states, and, well knowing the President as approving the dry pol icy, will claim credit for Alaska go- ing dry. As I have lived in the North for over 20 years l am as well acquainted with the habits of the people, perhaps, as she is, and we all know that it was the voters themselves carried the dry propo 5ition five to one. It is well known that the majority of the people of Alaska are men who drink and therefore the dry vote was not the result of any woman or mans tenn perance work, as, is claimed, but imply a matter of adjustment be- cause the voters decided they could get along without the saloons.
 Now, then, for some woman to come along and claim all the cred t of the dry victory and to go be- fore the President and lend her self to the schemes of politicians as boosting for some political ap Dointment because of the Presi- dents well known convictions, rather bets the goats of us old timers. When you read between the lines it is the Republican gang behind the whole thing. I think hey will find also that President Wilson will real between the lines when this political booster shows up.
