VARIETY IN LIFE AT oMsK
Siberian City, However, Holds Out
Little inducement to the Timid,
Demonstrating Traveller.

Omsk Is little city. or a big town
whichever you like-in Siberia. The
buildings OF Omsk keep close TO the
ground. The home of the settler is a
one-story log affair. The public build
lngs and shops are ornate with pillars
end carvings. but their grandeur ex-
tends upward little farther than the
log hut, of which they are an elabora-
tlon.
Omsk has more than its share OF
lawbreaking and crime. The number
of persons who die inopportunely there
Is large enough to inspire more eau
ton than bravado In one enjoying a
nighttime walk through the lanes
which pass for streets.
There is a Jail Ia this rustic metrop-
oils, but Its inmates are. as a rule, only
the most recent malefactors, who have
been so careless as TO be apprehended
by the wooden-shoed policemen who
rattle about the streets at night to as
sure the city that tie law is not sleep
ing. The majority of those who have
resorted to violence or stealth to gain
their ends nre always at large.
knowledge of this Is not reassuring,
but II adds TO the stimulating atmos-
phere OF the Siberian life to wonder
whether the queer-looking shop clerk
or waiter who serves you is a pillar OF
the church or the man who mysterious

iPPEAi FOR TIME
VOICED By KNOX
N+tS.

Washington, June 17.--A plea
apainst hasty acceptance of the les
cue of nations was made to the SEN
ate today by senaotr Knox, Repub-
lican. Of Pennsylvania, in q carefully
prepared address analyzing features
of the league covenant and caution
ing that its ratification would mean
q departure from American tradl-
tions.
The league, declared the former
secretary Of state, would inevitably
result in a super-government enpow'
cred to act even upon the domestic
affairs of member nations and to pre-
serve for all time the territorial
boundaries shortly to be fixed by the
peace treaty. He asserted the new
Monroe doctrine provision would
efface that policy from International
affairs and argued that the amend
ment adopted to cover withdrawal OF
league member would make sucn
withdrawal "absolutely impossible"
The speech which held closer atten-
ton in the senate chamber than any
preyious utterance Of the treaty con-
troversy, marked the beginning OF
debate on Mr.. Knox's resolution de-
claring the terms Of peace should be
ratified without delay and the league
of nations proposal left for later con-
sideration.
"T ask for time," said the Senator
in explaining his feasure, merely
to consider whether or not under the
covenant as drawn, the power to put
US at war will still rest with us or be
placed in body outside our own
government and if placed outside,
whether or not such lodging OF the
sovereign power is desirable.
81 ask only for time to deliberate
whether or not we shall put it beyond
our power to increase the size OF our
army and our navy in times Of dire
emergency without first consulting
the wish or desires Of other coun-
tries"

"MoRE PAY FOR LESS WORK" "

Addressing the American Fedora
tion of Labor convention at Atlantic
City, S. M. Walsh, delegate from
Canada, told the convention that the
eight-hour day is the first step tow
ard the ,six+hour day." The suges-
ton would be fine specimen of hu-
NOR except for the important fact
that it is no jest. There is not par
ticle of doubt but that many leaders
of organized labor entertain the same
idea and are in accord with the Can
adian delegates assertion that "the
eight-hour days is the first step tow
ard the six-hour day."
Where are we headed for, with
such notions pervading the minds of
the workers? Many of the captains
of finance, the capitalists whom or
ganized labor affects to hold in such
distrust and suspicion, toll at their
desks more than twelve hours a day,
striving to keep in motion the wheels
that make it possible for labor to
pull down the big wages it now re-
ceives. These men know no holidays.
An eight-hour day to them would be
a novelty, an expensive luxury that
they would not feel able to afford,
in the knowledge that the happiness
and welfare Of millions depend upon
the manner in which they acquit
themselves of the weighty response
bilities resting upon them. AS for a
six-hour day, the suggestion only
causes them to smile wearily.
Labor must be responsible if it is
to continue to prosper. All Of US
would like to be required to work
only six hours q day, to be sure
very many Of US would be well con-
tent if we could perform our duties
within the space Of eight hours that
is now accepted as the standard
working day. But what we would
like to do and what we have to do
are two very different things, The !
world must earn its bread by the
sweat Of its brow. And It cannot
produce enough in six hours toll 30
enable it to spend the other eighteen
as it pleases. i
Both capital and labor must reso-
lutely rid themselves Of false and
foolish notions. Such notions have
brought Russia, once q mighty Ma
ton, to the brink Of ruin. The Rus
sian workingman now realizes, hav-
ing learned through sad experience,
that arbitrary legislation will not
make him prosperous. It is only by
means Of work that men achieve Ne
suits which enable them to live COM
fortably and support their families.
The slogan Of "more pay for less
work., carried too far, will ruin any
country on earth.-Rsaneke Times,

COTTON PRODUCTION.
Manufacturers Record, Baltimore)

Manufacturers Record, Baltimore)
The charge of certain Northern in
terests that Southern farmers in re-
ducing their cotton acreage are pro-
fteering and trying to make money
out of the necessities of the world,
/ seems to me ill-chosen. Cotton has
been and is now selling at loss to
those who raise it, and they must get
out of the business, get a higher
price, or 60 broke.
The writer lived some hundred
miles south of Chicago during the
middle '70's, when corn sold there at
Is cents bushel and hogs at $3.50
per hundred live weight. Some far
mers went broke and others diversi-
fled, but no cry of profteering was
heard. Broomcorn later fell to $40
to $50 ton when it cost about $100
to raise it, and produition stopped.
Castor oil was made in considerable
quantities in Illinois, Kansas and Ok
lahoma, but the price Of this also
fell below cost and production ceas-
ed.
The fact is that in all lines of
business, manufacturing, mining and
farming along with the rest, the cost
of doing business is sometimes great
er than the price obtainable in some
departments, and unless the owners
are financially able to stand a loss,
that department or business must bel
discontinued until better times. The
cotton farmers are without the finin- |
cial strength to continue indefinitely
at a loss, but must diversity or be
ruined. BY remaining on the land
and raising other crops they will be
in position to produce more cotton
when the present stock is used and
:he market will pay a fair price.
There has been some foolish talk
about the Government fixing a price
for cotton, both by speakers at vari.
Gus conventions and editerially, at
the time when it seemed probable
that this might be done and since but
the simple fact is that production has
exceeded the amount which could be-
and sold. Many fac
tories and much machinery have
been destroyed and the purchasing
power Of Europe greatly reduced by
the war. There Is a large surplus OH
cotton to be carried over, and
large crop this years spells ruin fert)
those who raise it. II
It is not a desire to make profit
out Of the necessities Of the world
that induces the reduction Of cotton
acreage and additional production oil!
