from 1880 to 1890 o'clock, after
which a splendid dinner was served
by the menfolks, under the SUPER

menu was all to- be desired, take a
look at this: Roast chicken with
dressing, brown gravy, cranberry
sauce, mashed potatoes, hot butter
nut beets, celery, sauerkraut, home
baked bread and good country butter,
apple pie, pumpkin pie and blueberry
pie, tea, coffee and milk.
At the close of the repast, a pro-
gram consisting Of speaking, singing
and instrumental music was present
ed which was highly appreciated by
the hearers.
Getting down to business the Home
Farm club adopted the following res
olution:
"Resolved, that the Home Farm
club extends a vote of thanks to the
Better Farming club for the splendid
dinner and the maner in which it
was served"
Whereat the members of the Better
Farming club sort of swelled up and
strutted around like an egotistical
rooster.
The meeting was a great success
and thoroughly enjoyed by all who
attended.

KENDALL'S SPEACH.
fCrinneii sHarolll


And again talking about this discus
sion about Nate Kendall's speech--the
Capital attempts a very lame defense
Of Mr.. Kendall. lame because MI
Kendall's speech needs no defense. II
Is and ought to begthe utterance %
every patriot whosbelieves that the war
should have accomplished what 1t was
fought to accomplish. II II was pa
triotic to speak in favor of sending
American soldiers to Europe at all, II
Is Just as patriotic and just rs praise
worthy to speak In favor OF having the
Job finished right. Mr.. Kendall. and
every patriotic citizen knows that the
lob wasn't finished. The very fact
that the sheriff Of Milwaukee county
has dared to say that Germany is n
filter place to live In than is America
Is evidence that tho job wasn't COM
pleted. We are not very enthusiastic
at present about Nate Kendall for gov
ernor but II we are going to elect a
governor on account Of his war ut
terances. or on account OF his not max
Ing war utterances, Nate Kendall Is
ace high with us and with many more
patriots IL need be. Ask Webb Byers
who knows what It means In the home
to have a soldier in France and It's
ten to one Webb will say he wanted
the Job finished right.
Then why this apology from the
Capital for Mr.. Kendall. We don't
know what has inspired the Capital to
this impotent utterance. Nate Ken
dali should be forgiven for wishing
that our armies had marched to Ber-
lin." No. Nate don't get on your knees
and beg forgiveness for wishing what
every one ought to wish, and what
most Of us did wish many times in tho
year 1919. both before and after an
unconditional surrender was made to
Germany by agreeing to an armistice,
which has ended In delays and fall
ures. If few poltroons and apollo
sizers can only get in their work
they'll nominate Kendall In walk.

our raise and We believe we are en-
titled to It."
The miner who has been interviewed
thinks that the operators havo been
making too much money and that they
could pay the higher price without In
creasing the price of coal to the con-
sumer. The editor OF the Fairfield
Tribune learns from private source
that coal can be produced and brought
to the top of the mine at $1.s5 per ton.
All Information on this mining sub :
ject Is 10 the effect that the miners
want steady work and when tho mine
operators increase the price Of coal to
the public the miner wants his share
OF the increase.
One third the expense OF operating
the coal mine is not In the digging OF
coal. but Is in keeping the mine In
running order and doing the miscel-
lareous woHk. The operators say thu,
the six-hour day is impossible and II
they had to consent to II coal mining
In Iowa would have to come 10 an
end. because every employee of the
mine would work about six hours and
steam power must be kept up twenty
four hours.
The people of Iowa want 10 pay
what is right for coal and they want
the operators and miners to put all
their. cards on the table so that the
public may understand the issues.

Labor Union. and IN. Law.

The trade unions are row to organ
lied labor what the corporations arc
ito organized capital. After q long and
painful struggle they have reached
the point which the American corpora
tion reached nifty years ago. and are
now, In many II not most cases, con-
Quoting their business upon the prin-
ciples OF charging all the traffic will
bear" and combining for profit In re-
straint of trade"-principle which
the American democracy compelled or
ganized capital TO abandon twenty
years or more ago. Those who wish to
destroy the trade unions are as out
Of harmony with American democratic
principles and institutions as those
who wish to destroy the industrial cor,
porations. II capital may organize.
labor may organize.
But is It not perfectly clear that or
ganizations of labor must be made
amenable TO the same laws of demo-
cratic governmental control and reg
ulation which are applied to organiza-
tons Of capital? Is 1t democratic jus
tice to permit n trade union to charge
all the traffic will bear and to combine
for nrofit in restraint of trade while an
association Of stockholders is forbid
den by law to do the same thing7
Labor cannot invoke the aid of JUS
tice without accepting the conditions
which justice imposes. Therefore
primary step which the American
democracy must take in endeayoring to
settle the industrial warfare which
threatens our national life is to insist
upon the Incorporation of the trade
union and thus TO make its contracts
inviolable under the law. to make the
treasury susceptible OF a judgment fol
damages awarded by court of justice.
and to forbid it from conspirins in
restraint of trade.
This. of course, is not new pro-
posal The trade unions have opposed
It in the past because they did not
wish to assume the responsibilities or
duties of corporate entity. But is II
fair that they should have the privi-
leges and power of corporate institu-
tions-that is to say, recognition ana
collective bargaining-without the le-
gal responsibilities which should go
with such corporate powers?
The incorporation OF the trade
unions would give to organized labor
two great dement's which II mas peen
struggling for many years to obtain
by warfare, namely, the advantage OF
official and social recognition and the
right OF collective bargaining. Until
the trade union IS thus legally recog-
nized as a factor in American indus
try and legally put under the regula-
ton and control Of the government, the
methods OF profit sharing. or shop
councils, and OF labor representatives
on boards of directors. highly desirable
as they are and forming perhaps the
goal of that ultimate partnership
which ought to be established between
labor ana capital. are only palliatives
For partnership and brotherhood and
cooperation in any form Of eocial ac-
tivity can exist only under democratic
law and order, for which 1t is futile 70
hope as long as the present state OF
industrial warfare continues. THE

GOVERNMENT GIVES up ~ SUGAR.

The government has decided to give
up its control of the sugar market on
Jan. and coal is so short that the
candy and soft drink factories will
homes. There has been so much pol
tiles in the sugar control that south
unload their sugar to manufacturers
at prices as high as II cents while the
to II cents. Very naturally, with no
profit In the stun, grocers would not
stock up for the sugar canning sea-
son hence the acute sugar shortage
in the homes.
Nobody. however. has heard of
candy or gum, or cough drops or pop
or any of the Injuries manufactured
from sugar being scarce. They are
high in price but so are wages and
the demand for sweets is enormous.
1t Ia believed now by wholesale
grocers that the sugar market will
break. There Is going to be sugar for
the homes altho 1t may cost a little
more. Refiners who have been hoard
ing for the higher prices will let go.
Instead Of everybody trying to buy
while few have anything to sell there
will be so many producers trying 70
sell that there will be sugar at the
grocery store after Jan. / for those
who want 1t.
Government control Of prices never
will work satisfactorily. II govern
ment prices are too high as they have
been for coal and as they were for al
most every kind Of munition during
the war government price fixing will
disturb and disorganize the market
for that material, mulct the public I'M
necessarily and make labor dissatis-
fed with its share Of the swag. II
government prices are too low, as they
have been for sugar, the big buyer will
find way to get his while nobody will
provide for the general public because
there is no profit in Il The less gov
eminent price fixing and government
ownership we have In the future the
better for all Of US,
