Stifteneh Strike.

Having not intended to do the things
which he attributed to them, as their
object, the leaders who were seeking
TO control the situation and end the
strike, found the backs OF the men
stiffened. Whatever merit there Is In
the contention that irritation prolonged
the strike; It certainly is a pity that
any outside force had to be called in,
because, today. outside OF Seattle, peo-
pie have the impression that the pres
ence Of troops quelled the rising, when,
as a matter Of fact, \the uprising
quelled Itself.
In other worda, never did a general
strike absolutely prove its W futility
so completely a did the one in
Seattle. Residents of Seattle know
what broke that strike, and it is a
good thing the true impression Is firmly
imbedded here. 1t failed because la
boring men have wives and children,
because they have homes and because
they are dependent just as are employ
ers, on street cars, electric lights,
butcher shops. grocery stores and the
product Of the numerous employees who
are embraced in a general strike.
Radicalism, and a small percentage
at that, provoked the general strike not
so much, as has been charged, to
take forcible possession of the city
goVernment-all factions now deny that
really 10 AWAKEN the
working people to a consciousness of
their power, But even in that the
strike failed, for it showed how disor-
ganiSed ars the ~toilers, and how the
chief suffering OF such a tie-up of all
employees is borne by the workers
themselves. and their families.
What 10 more, the general strike has
demonstrated better than many q soap
box lecture ever could, how endless
would be the chain Of general strikes,
II n OF them was declared OF every
occasion that a group Of unions had a
grievance. The affair proved TO most
OF the laboring men that the methods
they had for years followed, Of settling
their troubles through conservative, un-
ion leaders, were the only methods
worth following, and while they bitterly
resented the dictstorial tone adopted by
persons outside their organization de-
manding that they clean house, new
ertheless it Is a safe prediction that
they will clean house Just the same.

Torrance is over though, the 10 year
old boy discovers the fairy tired from
her former depradations sitting down
in a mud hole made by the family pet
pig in the door, yard. The boy brings
her in plastered with mud from head
to feet, battles and re-dresses her,
sewing up the rents after he gets the
dress on, the mother watching and
worrying from her bed. OF course,
the patient should have room to her
self away from family and household
cares, there should be nursery, sew
ing room and every convenience, also
a nurse, housemaid and cook, but they
committed the crime of marrying be-
fore they were able to support these,
so why should the neighbors trouble
themselves to help?

man race though as the doctor says
the mothers only chance of recovery
is plenty of nourishing food, good
nursing and cheerful company.
The old maid can't help wondering
sometimes, as the woman complains
of the neglect of her neighbors, what
the woman and her kind think when
the preacher impressively reads from
Micah 6:8-"What doth the Lord re-
quire of thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God" She knows that her niegh-
bors hear the same words and no doubt
thinks that either she or her neighbors
can't understand good English. 1t
must be that she can't, because the
most of them are devout churchmem-
bers and are prominent in war and
victory activities and helping the
heather activities across the seas.

There is, therefore, but one response
for us-force, force to the utmost,
force without stint or limit, the righ-
teous and triumphant force which
shall make the law of the world and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"
Clemenceal, in the letter, also quotes
from speeches delivered by Premier
Lloyd George of Great Britain, him
self as Premier of France and Pre-
mier Orlando of Italy, in which it was
specifically declared that when victory
was won compromise as to peace
terms was impossible and just pun
ishment should be melted out, and
continues:
Justice therefore, is the only pos
siblc basis for the settlement Of the ac-
counts of this terrible war. Justice
is what the German delegation asks
for and says that Germany has been
promised. But it must be justice for
the dead and wounded and for those
who have been made orphans and be-
reaved that Europe might be free from
Prussian despotism. There must be
justice for the peoples who now stag
ger under war debts, which exceed $50
000, 900, 900, that liberty might be saw
ed. There must be justice for those
millions whose homes and lands, ships
and property, German savagery has
spoliated and destroyed.
That is why the allied and associated
powers have insisted as cardinal
featude of the treaty that Germany
must undertake to make reparation to
the very utermost of her power, for
reparation for wrongs inflicted is of
the essence of justice.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE
IN THIS MANS PLACE?

A certain rich man, very certain
rich man, died few months ago, and
the other day, after checking up his
stocks and bonds and silk shirts and
golf sticks and mines and fresh eggs
and automobiles and country estates
and cellar stocks, he was rated as hav-
ing once owned nearly $4,000, 900.
There is nothing wrong in man
owning $10,0O0,00O.
The laws Sof this country do not
yet prohibit such a thing, but it does
make lot of difference just what a
man buys with those $10,000,000,
Psychologically it does.
This certain rich man owned a COM
pany that made chemicals and fur
nished it's products to the Govern
ment, the fair Government paying the
certain rich mans company something
like $4,000, 900 in profits for his drugs
through the period of the war.
We do not doubt but that the Gov
eminent got it's moneys worth.
The Government knows how to buy.
Once, three, four times during the
certain rich mans life the Govern
ment came to the certain rich man
and asked him to buy Liberty Bonds.
Everybody thought the certain rich
man was buying, so they, didn't say
anything about him, the everybodies
didn't.
But the other day when his estate
was counted nary Liberty Bond did
they find.
This certain rich man had son
who rode around in automobiles fast
err than the law allows and got pinch
ed several times. His papa didn't APP
prove Of this, so he cut him off in his
will with certain grueling stipulations.
We wager the son owns some Lib
erty Bonds, however.
A man who races around in autos
is a good enough sport to show I'm
Gle Sam red American blood when he
wants Americans to show it.
The certain rich man may have done
some good toward the war.
His turning a deaf ear on bond
statesmen is blot he cannot explain.
If he wanted Uncle Sam to keep
from getting enough money to win
the war he failed utterly.
The father could never have felt re-
morse for the son with as keen a
pang IS the son must feel for the dis
loyalty of the father.
We understand why they couldn't
pull.
But, after all, before the certain
rich man could have happiness out of
the two millions he made selling drugs
to the Government, lie got his medi-
cine, and there is enough left besides
to erect handsome shaft of stone ov-
err his rest, which we pity more than
abhor.
Gee! it's good to be poor, and own
about two $50 bonds of each issue!

THE SEPTIC TANK

During the coming season there
will be more work done, along the
lines of Rural Sanitation than there
has ever been done before in the State,
says F. A. Nickel, of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture.
Surveys of water conditions and an
alyses of many samples of drinking
water have shown that over so per
cent of the samples have been con-
taminated with the germ which caus-
cs typhoid fever.
This germ finds it way into the
source of drinking water through
seeps from decomposed wastes show
ing that unsanitary conditions are
prevailing throughout the rural dis
tricts.
The septic tank offers very cheap
and efficient means of preventing the
seepage of any harmful material in
to wells or cisterns, and besides, it
renders sewage harmless through the
septic action which takes place with
in the tank.
The Department of Agricultural
Engineering has been called upon very
frequently to furnish blueprint plans
Of a simple single chamber septic tank,
as well as sending a man out into the
field to demonstrate the installation
of one of these tanks in a community.
Judging from the number of plans
that have gone out, there seems to
be considerable interest aroused over
this installation, and too much stress
cannot be given to sanitary conditions
on the farm.
The blueprint No. C-32 will be sent
to anyone upon the receipt Of ten
, cents in coin or stamps. Address De-
partment of Agricultural Engineering.

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but this disorder is due to lack of
moisture in the residual matter Of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them trial.

This man Milliken is the same, we
believe, who few years ago is said
to have spent million or more dol
lars in very successful attempt to
keep the talons of the law from clos
ing tightly about his brother-in-law,
Patrick, for the murder of old man
Rice, a reputed millionaire.
He is the same man, also, who more
recently fought with almost equal
frenzy to have young employee in
his office sent to the penitentiary for
holding out few dollars to pay for
medical attention to his sick wife. In
this he also succeeded.
In fact Milliken was successful
man, at least insofar as amassing
money and carrying out his own de-
sires were concerned, no matter how
base such desires may have been.
But he owned no Liberty Bonds,
notwithstanding his great wealth. 1t
is also a safe conclusion that his con-
tributions to the war works and ben
efactions were meager. Would you
