Most topics that you would

, things to us; for we are tired
and prone to balk at all the end

for silence, quiet, peace, and
wish the eloquence would cease.
How sweet and restful it would
seem if every bore and every

soothe our souls distressed.
We're tired OF war and politics.
OF Huns and all their Hunnish
tricks, of problems large and
problems small, of Russian
freaks and Prussian gall, Of
doves of peace and fists OF
steel, and all the things of which
bores spiel. Oh, for glen or
bosky dell, where we, remote
from talk, might dwell Oh,
for some hollow in the ground,
where Windy Jims are never
found! Some hermitage among
the trees, where one might live
on bark and peas, and never
meet noisy bore who'd thrash
the moidy topics o'erl We'd
think our thoughts and read
. our books in sylvan glades, by
babbling brooks, where word

Whether the people of communities

parties to disputes between public
utility corporations and their en-
ployes is a question which the Ma
tiona1 War Labor Board is expected
to settle when it announces its deci-
sion in the Washington Railway and
Electric Company's controversy with
its conductors and motormen.
The board probably will decide this
dispute before the end of the present
week or early in the coming week.
The question of whether the people of
Washington should be considered in
any award made was raised by the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The federation's counsel, W. Nick.
Clayton. has been asked by the exam
iners for the board to file a brief en-
bodying that principle.

Says Citizens Must Pay.

In his brief Mr.. Clayton calls atten-
.fjon to the fact that the citizens OF
Washington must in the last analysis
pay the cost of improving equipment
increase in wages and whatever add1-
tional expenses the company may be
forced by changing conditions to as
sumo.
Mr.. Clayton does not oppose the de-
nands of the men. He simply desires
to establish the principle that no pub
lie utility corporation can properly
, disregard the interests of the people
ii serves when settling disputes with
its employees This principle, Mr.. Gay
ton says, should be recognized as uni
versally applicable. :.
IF man so eminent as Mr.. TAFT
should declare in favor of this prin-
cipIe a precedent would be established
which could not very well be Ignored
in future settlements of labor dis
putes. no matter what tribunal would
adjudicate matters. said Mr.. cay
ton. In his brief Mr.. Clayton says:
Every Award Affects People.
Every award made directly affects
the people, whether it be increase OF
wages. diminution. or increase of car
service, hours of labor. working con-
ditions. equipment of cars. change of
schedules, extra compensation tor
overtime, free passes for employees.
etc, etc. tne cost OF edcn anu every
enumerated item falls exclusively
upon the people, so that while they
appear not as formal party, they
are. after all, the real, the substan-
tial, the paying party in every such
controversy
The cost of everything that enters
into the construction, equipment and
upkeep of the street railway COM
panies, from a rail spike to a $780,
900 turbine, the people pay.
1.-THE People Pay"
'~The salaries and wages of Office rs
and employees. from the president to
the switch tender, the people pay.
The dividends on stocks and the
interest on bonds the people pay.
Extensions of lines. new cars, new
rails, powerhouses and car barns the
people pay.
Damage suits, court judgments, at
torneys' fees the people pay.
Are not, therefore, the people al
ways the real party in interest and
the interests of both companies and
men to be subrogated to their larger
and more compelling INTEREST,""

PRO GERMANS ARE SILENCED.
Par at Cedar Rapids Start CRITICS.
ing L. S. A. After Armistice

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-United States
Deputy Marshal Healy had a hot
session yesterday with two men, one
prominently identified with large
local corporation and the other
formerly employed by one of the
leading business men of the city,
regarding alleged pro-German ut
terances. The business man had been
summoned to Healy's office.
He denied the right of the mar
shall to question his utterances now
that the war was over. When Healy
got through with him he was in a
different frame of mind and prom
ised to be more cautious in his ut
terances. The other German was
quickly convinced that if he intended
to remain in this country he must
curb his tongue.
Mr.. Healy says that since the
armistice has been signed he has
had considerable trouble with pro-
Germans who got it into their heads
that the bride was off and they We're
free to say what they pleased. Mr.
Healy warned the two men before
him yesterday that the government
would not stand any nonsense or idle
talk from them.

Cattle Drink Paint.

Cherokee, Ia.-Alleging that the
county is responsible for the death
of three valuable COWS, bill from
Henry w. Darville has been present
ed to the board of supervisors of
Plymouth for damages.
The bill was for the amount of
1925, and the allegation sets forth
that the cows ate a quantity of red
paint, the property of the county.
1t apparently did not agree with
any of their four stomachs and they
succumbed in short order. AS the
cows are said to have broken out Of
the pasture where they were confined
and were trespassing when they
browsed upon the fatal delicacy, the
county did not see it's way to pay the
claim and the bill was rejected.
One member of the board suggest
ed that the owner of the animals
should reimburse the county for the
amount of paint gorged by the
omniverous bovines.

MAY SPRAY FRUIT TREES.
Municipal Project May Be Undertake.
en- in Mason City

Mason City.-Ways and means fol
spraying fruit trees in Mason City
may be provided the coming spring.
At meeting of the civic bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce held at
the Cerro Gordo hotel members dis
cussed the value of spraying to fruit
trees. One case was brought up
where a city resident had several
plum trees last year, but one of
which he sprayed. The results were
that from it he got bushel and a
half of plums, while from the other
trees there was entirely no yield. II
is the belief Of many members of the
bureau that city spraying can be in
stituted the coming year at a nomin-
al cost, prices to be estimated at so
much per tree, according to size.

POSTPONE ICE HARVEST.
Warm Weather Puts Crimp i'm Crop
ON Iowa River.

Marshalltown, Ia.-Although the
local ice company had planned to be-
gin its harvest yesterday, the warm
weather of the past few days made
it inadvisable to start cutting, and
the work was postponed indefinite
ly, with the hopes that colder
weather would result soon. The ice
on the Iowa river is only about five
inches thick, and all of that thickness
will not be good ice, it is said. If it
develops that there can be no crop
of natural ice this season the COM
pany will increase the size of its arti-
fetal ice plant and get ready for the
increased output that will be neces-
sary.

lax All spent, Wen Donate LaDOf.
The other day a modest Howard
county man resolved that the way to
build roads was to build them; so
last Wednesday he prevailed upon
about fifty men in the vicinity of
Florenceville to volunteer their SER
vices and as the result of well or
ganized effort 181 loads Of gravel
were removed from the river bed
near the Florenceville mill and plac-
ed on the road beginning at the
bridge and extending toward Michel
hill. All done without one dollar Of
expense to the county. Our infor-
mant states that never did crew Of
men work more faithfully and with
greater pride than did these volun-
teer road builders. Few counties are
as favored in the distribution OF
good road gravel as Howard county.
1t should be on the roads where it
will do some good instead of in the
banks where it is of no value. Thu
good work started by these volun-
teers is to continue and there is a
fair prospect that the road from
will be graveled by the
army of volunteers.-Cresco Times.
