AIr. Editor: According to the daily reports which come to us va The Blil letin, "eapital and lahor" as ther love to style themselves. are still squahbling in litter disregard, of ,.-e rights, and dire needs of all the rest of us, their fellow citizens.
 Is it not time for Uncle Sam, or some other uncle to step in. and com nlanG them to compose their differ ences on some just basis. and hasten to respond i5 the growing-ev6n dire needs of the great public at Slarge -l2ut how can they eainpose their diff ferenees? It is useless for eapital, to try, any longer to satisfy the demands nf labor. for it nc seoner yields ta u7e demand than labor makes an other! In this view Of the case cap ital is unquastionabiy cnrrect. SiDlp- ly yielding to the dan1ands Of labor for less work, and more pay. viii never restore peace, and prosperity to the iotiusiriai world. Some other way
 of solving the difficult problem mus.

 way of setting bis old aud very trou- ljlesaule problem.

 The reelection Of Berger, it is not believed, will have any effect upon the house of representatives. Because of his conduct during the war and his violation of the espionage act where by he gave aid and comfort to the en- emy he was denied his seat in con gross. The conditions have not changed because he has been re elect ed and it is not believed that con gross will alter It's decision just be- cause he has received the districts en- dorsement Q second time.

FOR THOSE WITHOUT A HOBBY

There is that everlasting appeal to people to get hobby. It is all very
 well Tor tl.e writer Jr speaker to pre-
 pare his hobby sermons, but. like
 Portia, it is easier to tell twenty
 what is good to be done than to be
 one of the twenty to follow their own
 teachings.
 A hobby is most commandable
 thing. But most hobbies are ex- pensive. The best thing to do is to
 plan out daily routine for yourself
 where you know every hour where you will be and what you are going to do. There should be no idle or haphazafd hours at all These are the hours which may you nervous, allow you to think of yourself and which the preacher of the hobbies would there- fore have you fill your "h9bby.' Vacant, restless hours, if you have no hobby, can be filled with reading good books, calls on the sick, calls on the places of interest in your city, and with all such things which cost little or nothing. In this day of great needs, ! when letters and packages are enjoyed SD i1ueh by the soldiers and knitted articles cannot be had in sufficient numbers to meet the great cryinS | need for them. there should be nc 1 woman who is idle, who cant find l anything to take up her mind and is
 so hard pressed that she must have a hebby.h

MORE MEXICAN CASES.

Manifestations of the unfriendiy feeling toward this country aad Amer jeans, or else deliberate steps for the purpose Of causing rupture of the relations of the two Countries con- tinue to increase in Mexico, The last of series of matters calling for note writing between the two governments Is the arrest and detention Of two American sailors from the Poeemoke q scout patrol boat. at Mazatlan uu- der the charge of participating in a street fight. ,'..-, ---'-.i
 Such under ordinary circumstances, even though Inc two tackles, Were guilty o2 the charges, preferred. would be g matter ceiling for early adjust nont, possibly the imposition of q fine CT what IS n4ove likely unless it was more serious than any of the reports indicate the turning of the nlea over to the officers of their ship But in this iHstance the two men have been kept in iail for a period Of six weeks without ans trial, with insufficient ac- connodatien5 and food. Tho impress sion te be gained E.oBl such conditions is that they are being persecuted be- cause they are Amerieans much the sane as hundreds of Ai1eriraps sa"'-l to have been shot or kidnapped in that country il the past few .,eurs.

GOOD RADIANCE

Deportation in such large numbers as 10 require transport to take the party to it's destination is unusual. Those who are being sent back to their own country are for the most pspt provided with passage on the first sieamer going their way but in the rounding up of the anarchists and dangerous radicals In this country the number was so large that the use ei transport was advisable and the law respecting people of the United Siaies win be relieved to know that ter arc on their wsy with no pros poets Of returning.
 The party doesn't include the rank and file solely but leaders as well. the most prominent of whom are Berlxman and Goldman and while it has taken q long time to end their activities here qad to get them started 10 the coun- try from which they came there is satisfaction in knowing that such dam serous teachers arc banished and an end put to their teachings here. And with them go hundreds of others who have been guided bv such influence Eho cared nothing for government ls law and were. prepared to do what they were told or what they believed necessary 10 bring about it's down fall impressed by tho terrorism that has qfcn causing such havoc in Russia they have been proving themselves to ss apt pupils.

IN THE CONFERENCE STAGE.

Speeded LID for tho purpose of get ting recess over the holidays the senate brought the Cun1nins railroad bill to vote with the result that it was dopted by majority of ts. This makes the two houses of congress committed to different methods of handling the railroads of the country after they arc returned to the owners for while the senate has shown its de- sire for the Cummins bill the house is equs fly strong for the Esch bill, and the bills differ In a number of essen tial details.
 With conference committees named by the two houses there is as much need of giving early and conscientious attention to the business before them AS there was for the senate te express its mind. Whether the committee can frame report that will be aeeepta ble to both houses will depend upon the manner in which the attitudes of the respective houses are interpreted, but the determination to carry on the work through the holiday season in :. dicates a recognition of the import ance of reaching decision and get ting the matter settled for the good O! the entire country.
 Under the Cummins bill a transpor- tation board would be created while the Eseh bill would increase tho pow CTS of the interstate commerce com mission. The former would create rate making regions and fix a certain re-
 turn for the roads while the latter would leave the matter Of rates with the interstate commerce commission. The difficulty in getting together on
 these features does not seem to be so
 great as that involved in the labor provisions, where the Cummins bill
 calls for compulsory arbitration and
 makes strikes or lockouts illegal and
 tho Esch bill calls for arbitration but
 there is nothing making it necessary Under inc circumstances with the
 matter in conference 1t seems unlikely | that the president will insist upon or
 derins the roads returned January l first.

 Always ice a. cake while warm.
 Cream puffs take twenty five ninv utss to bake.

 A good salad is made of tomatoes and peaches. 9
 Bread. cheese and fruit make d per- feet lunch.
 A drop shelf helps to eoonomize kitchen space.
 Either ripe or green grapes are good for jelly. 4,
 A kitchen sink should always be near the range.
 TRc best lemonade is made from pre- pared syrup.

cARE OF THE BROOM,

A we'll cared for brush or broom lasts twice as long as one that is not well cared for. In the first place, every brush and broom, excepting the fiat backed sort. for clothes and hats should be hung in such way that the bristles or broom straws do not rest on the wall Or fooy. /
 To clean brushes. use warm water to which little ammonia or boraX has been added Immerse the brush and move it about until the bristles look clean. Then rinse 1t thorough ly, first in the warm water. then in cold water.
 The way to wash broom is te dip it in a pnilful of hot seapsuns and water. Splash it up and down a few times until it looks clean. Then dry it quickly.
 If the edges of brush or broom are irrcgularly worn, trim the bristles off evenly.

THE COAL COMMISSION.

With the naming of the commission Co investigate and report on a, new wage settlement between the miners snd the coal operators, President Will son has selected representative of labor. capital and the public and he expects the interests of the public to bc safeguarded by suggesting that such decisions as they make be unsnl- .aious. Though this is not demanded, unanimity would mean a full agree ilent upon all points whatever they .nivht be. Interest of course is going to be directed toward the attitude of the public's representative. He is vested with much responsibility. It can be realized what the attitude of those who represent labor and capital ig going Co be but aside from the fact That fairness and facts should govern fhe whole investigation it is quite as important that the interests of the public should be as carefully looked after. And this is particularly true after the service that was performed hy Fuel Administrator Garfield whose resignation was handed in after, as 1t is believed. he saw that the stand he AAl AAhtn TUT tit pTOletllOH oI tNe public was likely to be knocked asun- Ger.
 Dr. Garfield found that an increase could be granted to the miners out of he profits Of the operators but in Sisicd that there should be no increase 10 tae consumers. II Is an interesting situation in connection herewith when the president in his letter 10 the appoiniees on the commission pe,nts out that TT the readius;ment of the prices or coal shall be found neces- rary l shall be pleased to transfer to he commission. subject 10 it's rnani- mous action. the powers hitherto vest ed in the fuel administrator for that purpose"
 In other words the commission need pay little attention to finding & way of adjusting the situation without raising prices. It is practically told that all it needs to do is to agree anu .il win be given the authority to put prices where it thinks they should be regardless of where they are. what the consumer Is now paying or the efforts Of the government to lower the cost of living. Under such conditions agreement ought not to be very dim. cult. Therefore there is reason why interest should be aroused as tc whether the public's representative has the pubiic's welfare at heart as Sincerely as did Dr. Garfield.

THE FIFTH WISCONSIN,.

. Apparently the fifth congressional district in Wisconsin considered that st- was necessary to show congress that Victor Berger was not only the type of man that 1t desired to repre- sent it in Washington. but that he is the very man. It is impossible to get any other interpretation out of the special election last week when Berger was reelected to a seat in the lower house by over 1000 majority in the election as he received in the primary, at which time it was apparent that if Inc people of that district were going 10 make any other choice than Berger tha need Of getting to the polls was ylhl.
 Tho result shows that Berger ~re csired by a wide margin a greater support than the combined opposition could muster and in his election he has reason to thank not only those who cast their ballots for him but 1nose who remained away from the s91s. yis~ aetk XJseaHzin district haz
