.|CE POOL CLOSED
 LATE LAST NIGHT

Promptly at midnight last night, the sale of chances on the big ice pool was closed, and the committee that is looking after this pool took up all tickets that had been sold and placed them in a sealed box which will be opened after the ice goes out
 The tickets, which were on sale at the N C. store, the Portland, Terminal and Arctic pool halls, met with a very brisk demand until the last minute.
 The number of tickets sold amounted to 1915, representing that many dollars, which will go to the lucky guesser, less a small sum for the printing of the tickets and the cost of the sealed boxes used for keeping the chances in.
 A consolation pool, which will close at midnight on April 18th, has now been opened and those who have not had an opportunity to register their guesses will now have a chance to do so. A committee composed of Andy Hoey, o. M. Jackson, R. J. Ghezzi and Alex Fowler have charge of this latest pool. There are also several minute pools on the great event still open.

COLISEUM WILL
 SHOW ARIZONA
 TOMORROW EVE

The famous photoplay entitled Arizona" has been selected by the management of the Coliseum for to- morrow night, and Nenanaites will be given an opportunity of seeing superb play, staged on the Western plains during the course of which the emotions awakened by love, jealously and intrigue, hold the specator in a spell.
 The opening scenes are laid in a Western military post, and re- lates to the love affairs of a com missioned officer and the daughter of a non-commissioned officer.
 Stirring scenes are enacted around the military post and around a typical Western ranch, wherein cow boys, military men and Mexicans are involved.
 Arizona, which is conceded to be the greatest play in American history, has 21O superb scenes, and required the services of host of people to produce. It is in six acts.
 The play closes with stirring martial scene, showing the troop riding away to war, leaving the spectators mind definitely fixed as to the fate of those who became estranged to each other during the course of the story.
 The show will start at eight p. m. and feature prices will prevail to- morrow night, fifty cents for ad- mission, with two-bits extra for reserved seats.

as fairness and equity and reason
shall determine in all cases.
The application of that formula
is, OF course, complex and difficult,
because there are so many different
kinds OF labor and there are so many
different kinds OF capital. Not un-
frequently the laborer and capitalist
overlap and merge into one. You
have skilled labor and unskilled labor
and casual labor: you have the small
employer. the large individual en-
ployer, the corporate employer, the
inventor, the prospector, etc.
Conditions Vary Greatly.
"And then, circumstances and con-
ditions vary greatly. OF course. in
different parts Of the country and in
different industries It is impossible
to measure by the same yardstick
everywhere. but the principle of fair
ness can be stated, the desire can be
stated to do everything possible to
bring about good feeling and good
understanding between labor and
capital. and willingly and freely to
cooperate so that labor shall receive
its fair share in the fruits of indus
try. not only by way of a wage re-
turn, but Of a larger return in COM
fort, in Joy, In the happiness of life.
1T seems to me that, in the main,
rtght-thinking men of capital and Of
labor would concur in the following
points:
Il. The workman is neither a ma
chine nor commodity. He is a part
ner with capital. He must be given a
In HnFa
tions under which he works either
through organization in each factory
or other unit, or through labor unions.
or through both.
"2. The workers living conditions
must be made dignified and attractive
to himself and his family Nothing
is Of greater importance. To provide
proper homes for the workers is one
Of the most urgent and elementary
duties OF the employer, or, il he has
not the necessary means. then Of the
state.
Old Age Problem.
"3. The worker must be relieved Of
the dread Of sickness. unemployment
and old age. L IS utterly inadmis-
sible that because industry slackens,
or illness or old age befalls a worker,
he and his family should therefore be
condemned to suffering or TO the
dread of suffering.
e. The worker must receive a wage
which not only permits him to keep
body and soul together, but to lay
something by for a rainy day TO take
care OF his wife and children, and 10
have his due share Of the comfotrs,
joys and recreations Of life.
"5. Labor, on the other hand, must
realize that high wages can only be
maintained If high production IA
maintained. The restriction of pro-
duction is sinister and harm
full fallacy. most Of all in its effect
on labor. The primary cause Of pow
erty is INTERPRETATION"

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Berlin, Oct. 24.-President Wilson $
peace offer was n matter of little con
Germ to the German emperor, accord
ing to the evidence presented before
the subcommittee investigating the
war Furthermore, the Intervention
of the United States apparently was
not seriously considered by the EN-
peror.
The incident caused IL sensation,
and occurred during the examination
of Count Won Bernstorff, former ann
bassador in Washington.
The Socialist deputy, DIR. Snshei-
mer turned toward Won Bernsiorff
and said:
"The kaisers telegram to which you
refer, dated Jan. 16, 1917, and adj
dressed to Herr Zimmerman 0oreign
secretary says literally his majes y
instructs me to thank you for your
communication. His majesty does not
care bit about President Wilson's
offer. If breach with America cam
not be prevented, it cannot he helped.
Events are developing.
There was lnucn excitement W lhe
hearing when the message was read.
DIR. Karl Helfferich, former vice chan
cellor, whispered nonsense
Under discrimination, Won Bern
storff quoted the German emperor ana
General Ludendorff on his (Bern-
storff's) return from Washington. The
emperor sud Won Bernstorff had
failed on two points-first, in allow
ing the British to confiscate the trunk
with II Swedish diplomats papers
Thought to contain his Mexican tele-
grams. and, second, by permitting the
United States to send james W. Ge-
rard to Germany as ambassador.
Ludendorff accused him of attempt
ing to make peace by agitating against
the submarine warfare, and declared
that the U-boat war would bring peace
N three months. He then told the
former ambassador that Pres dent
Wilson's peace proposal could not
pass the Reichstag; it would be
championed only by the Socialists,
adding that "rotten peace was mn
possible. Replying to another ques-
tion. the former ambassador said
"Without Americas help the entente
could not have vanquished Germany.
If we succeeded in preventing war
with America peace of understand
ing would at least have been possible.
