ties of coffee boiling over roaring
| fires and rations portioned out ready
to be served.
Each man received two big slices
| of raw bacon. which he was obliged to
| fry himself, two thick slices of bread
and a half pint of black coffee. Two
1 cans of baked beans and a can opener
were issued to every squad leader. and
and apportion the contents among his
| eight men.
The company returned to the ar
mory about 11:15 p. m, everybody
much pleased with the experiences de-
spite the chill north wind that blew al
| evening.
Capt. A. C. Smith, of Company H
has announced that practice marches
and lessons in camping will be re-
peated every two or three weeks dur
ing the spring and summer in order
| to prepare the men for the annual
national guard encampment, which
takes place some time during the sum
mer or early fall, probably at For
Riley.
The dance given by Company H twt
weeks ago at Steinberg's hall; wa:
such a decided success both social!
and financially, that it has been de
cided to give another at the sam'
place, next Friday night. The pro
ceeds of these dances go into tn,

FINAL HEARING APRIL "a
Pollock Grants Temporary Restrain
ing Order in X. C. Kan, Fare Case.

A temporary restraining order to
enjoin the public utilities commission,
the attorney general and the cities of
Rosedale. Kan, and Kansas City.
Kan, from interfering with the collec-
ton of a Scent fare on the lines of
the Kansas City Railways company in
Kansas, was granted late Tuesday by
Judge John C. Pollock in the federal
court here. The action Immediately
followed the filing of bill of equity
by the Railways company in which it
was asserted the scent fare was a los
ing proposition. Judge Pollock set the
date for the final hearing on April
"a, in, Kansas City. The restraining
order will permit the company to be-
gin the collection of the scent fare at
once.
On April 10 an application made by
the company to the public utilities
commission to collect the extra penny
was turned down on the ground that
the haul on the Kansas side was not
non compensatory. F. s. Jackson, at
| torney for the utilities commission,
said he would oppose the granting of a
permanent injunction when the case
| came up for hearing.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 8.-To the
Editor of The Bee: In regard to
farmers and labor: These days if a
farmland doesn't work IA hours he
never does anything. They figure
10 hours in the field. Whatever you
must do when you get out Of the
field. that's donation. If the farm
ers don't want eight hours let them
pay for all overtime, then the Ia
horer will be getting just his due.
That's all, Then there won't be man
shortage in farm labor and plenty Of
stuff. Also who is it that raises the
crops If it isn't the laborer? He does
the work while the farmer does the
talking and spinning around in his
new super six. There are plenty of
people who would raise thir fami-
lies on a farm if they only had half
a chance. They will promise lots
Of things till they get you, and give
nothing when they do get you. You
can't quit because you can't scrape
up money enough to move, and the
farmer knows it. He should worry.
You hear the farmers holler about
the high cost Of living, but they don't
like to say anything about the hog
problem when they're getting s22
per hundred, but the poor fellow
across the street can go away back
and sit down, because he's got to pay
the same for eatables as the farmer
does after he raised the farmers
hogs. The farmers Of today have
been spoiled. They want 1t all now.
and they are getting it. From a
mother who must stay because we
can't get enough ahead to leave.

Agriculture and Other Industries.

Farmers at the national industrial confer
ence are said to be alarmed over the prospect
of having agriculture brought under conditions
that may apply to other industries. Increased
cost of production incident to shorter hours of
labor and higher wages, according to their rep
resentatives, points directly to continued high
prices for raw food materials. This contains
much that is worthy of consideration
However great the advance in farming
methods, due to improved machinery and other
processes, the raising of food has not been
brought onto parity with other industries as
regards operation. 1t remains true, and will to
the end in some degree, that the farmer is gov
erned by circumstances he can not control. He
must take full advantage of favorable weather
at all times, and can not neglect any of the op
portunites offered him to do certain things in
their season. Some portions of his work may
be ordered on factory schedule but these are
not his major operations. While sunshine and
rainfall, freezing and thawng determine be-
tween bouatiful yields and crop failures, farm
labor must be on a different basis from that of
MILL mine or factory. ,....
An eight-hour work period is perhaps prac-
teal during corn harvest, but it is utterly i'm
practicable in the planting season or while cul-
tivation is on. This is only single feature of
the problem. If the day ever comes when the
work on the farm can be arranged as it is in
big MILL and go on regardless of the climate,
the short-hour day and similar advantages will
be open to the hired man. but until then he
will have to arrange his working time to meet
the exigences presented from time to time by

Dealing With the Unions,

1T is nonsense to deal with the unions"
writes Director General Hines of the Railroad
administration to B. M. Jewell, president of the
Railroad department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Mr.. Hines supports his asser-
tion by the fact that the men refuse to~follow
their leaders, obey their officers, or observe
their contracts. Members of local unions have
done their cause more harm within the last
three months than the employers associations
had accomplished in all the years they had been
opposing the organization of the men. Local
strikes, usually fomented by radical or irrespon-
sible members, have been preciptated, to the
harm of industry and the discredit of organized
labor. While Samuel Gompers has been fight
ing the radicals who have been boring from
within, men to whose service he has devoted his
life have been undoing his work. The spectacle
would discourage leader less stout hearted,
but he will save something of his great organ
ization, and bring through to the future group
finally purged Of the destructive elements now
active. It is inconceivable that American work
men will be led to their own destruction, al
though they appear headed that way at the mo-
ment. Wise and conservative leaders still are
striving to bring order, but for the moment the
indictment of the railroad director seems we'll

Revising the Prohibition
Calendar

The decision of the Ohio supreme court that
there can be no valid ratification of the prohibi-
ton amendment by the state without favoring
vote of the people is firmly based upon the local
referendum law, which has already been upheld
by the supreme court of the United States.
To be effective, amendments to the constitu-
ton must be approved by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states. The point raised in
Ohio and now again sustained is that under the
referendum the legislature of that state consists
of the senate, the house and the people. AS the
people have not yet been consulted, the ratfca-
ton by the senate and house alone is not con-
elusive.
When Acting Secretary of State Polk issued
proclamation on the 10Th of last January an
nouncng the adoption of the amendment as of
January 16. the legislatures of thirty-six states
precisely the number needed, had given it their
have referendum laws, and all are preparing to
apply them. In two besides Ohio-namely
Washington and Nebraska-the courts have
sustained the contention that popular assent is
necessary to ratification. -.
These proceedings open up the gratifying
prospect that a revolutionary change in the
organic law brought about by arbitrary methods
is at length to be reviewed by the people of
certain states. If all Of the referendum states
should reject the amendment at the ballot box,
however, it would still prevail, for thirty-six
others have approved it under the forms of
law; but such an expression could hardly fail
to have far-reaching influences
OF more immediate interest is the bearing of
those issues upon the date when prohibition
takes effect. The amendment provides that this
shall be one year after ratification. Omitting
Ohio, to say nothing of other states, there had
been no ratification when Acting Secretary
Polk issued his proclamation. Unless the
supreme court of the United States reverses
itself when the Ohio case comes before it on
approval, there will have to be revision Of the
prohibition calendar-New York World

Everything Has Been Said"

Colonel House has returned to America,
leaving Europe not exactly fiat on its back, but
to get along the best way it can without him
to point the course. He has message for his
countrymen, though, and in writing it is trans
mitted to the press, that no danger of garbng
may exist His message reads:
have nothing to say Everything has
been said that can be said on every vital sub
ject We should begin to work; work stead
lily, and tranquilize.
There you have it. Everything has been
said, and therefore settled Perhaps Colonel
Houses long residence abroad has caused him
to forget the habits of his countrymen. At any
rate, it is morally certain he will be astonished
by the amount that yet remains to be said on
some vital subjects Also, the extent and in
fuence of the dissent to views he and his as
sociates have expressed, and the dissatisfaction
over some of the adjustments they have made.
The colonel is in for a busy as well as silent
winter
