The Italian "Lock-in"
By Emil Lyon.

IL AyOi'
italy one must imagine the steel workers lock-
ing Themselves in the steel trust plants and
going ahead with the production of steel after
the steel trust had shut down the plants. Add
to the picture that the coal miners and railway
men continue to deliver coal, in spite of the
orders of The bosses, that men ON the iron
ranges send down the ore and the steel trust
ships continue to deliver it, all under COM
pulsion of the workers, and one gets an idea of
this astounding new development in the labor
movement in Italy.
Where is the Government?
Naturally the question arises, what has be-
come Of the government that is always so
quick to step in to protect the private property
interests of the bosses and to beat the workers
into submission? Why has not the Italian Gov
ernment used it's armed forces to dislodge the
workers9
The reason why the government has not
acted is not difficult of explanation. Italy has
for many months now been on the brink of re-
vOlution. The work of organizing Soviets has
been underway for some time The Italian
workers are ready for the struggle for control
of the state power. The italian Government
hesitates aud seeks to bring about COM
promise because it fears that an attack upon
the metal workers will precipitate the revolu-
tionary struggle for control of the state. 1t
fears the result of such struggle would be
the overthrow Of the existing government and
the establishment Of Soviet Government.
The Italian workers are not under any illu-
sions as to the situation. They know that they
cannot permanently hold the industries which
they have seized, without having to deal with
the government, which is the representative Of
the bosses. They know that the workers revc-
luton cannot be won without first overthrow
ing the government of the bosses and setting
up the Sovets and the Dictatorship Of the Pro
letariat The arms in their hands means that
they are ready for that struggle.

Ruhrort, which had the largest rtv-

machine and mighty war engine.
Between the Rhine and Ruhr is
Duisburg. city of rolling mills, found

Ruhr by canal.

FAMOUS CHIMES RING AGAIN
Bells Of St. Clements, in Old London,
Appeal to Children, as In
the Olden Days.

"Oranges and Lemons rang out on
the old bells of st. Clements on the
last day of March on an evening as
fine as any during the finest winter
London has ever known. The bells
rang. but few heard them, prevented
by the roar of the Strand traffic. 1t
was the first time the old nursery
rhyme had been rung out from the
steeple for very long while. Some
hundreds of school children who had
been invited to attend the church, filed
out al the close in small professions,
plotted across the streams of traffic by
the London policemen. Every child
carried an orange or a lemon, n gift
which made up to them for the faint
tones in which the voices of the old
bells reached their ears. Down the
streets with the historic names running
from the Strand to the Thames, 81
Clements music was more audible. the
sound carrying over the noise and roar,
and into the Offices where anybody.
with a turn of mind for antiquity, has
but to throw open his window to hear

Connoisseur Of Feminine Beauties.

graphs of several hundreds of the

logue of the beauties of all countries.
While Mr. Colebatch's sense of humOr

vented him from sending the extreme

GASOLINE TURNS THE EARTH

us that the Dutch windmills are being
replaced by mills operated by steam

of the old windmills are burned, and
they are not regretted. Time may
come when a few windmills will be
treasured as relics in Holland; just as
similar structures are Still preserved

Boston Transcript. Already windmills
of American construction, with steel
fans arranged in wheels, instead of
the picturesque old wooden arms, had
begun to make their appearance, even

with the revolving wheel, is more pic
turesque than the ordinary steam or

tureSque as the old wooden affairs.
On our western prairies and plains the

danger of yielding to the process of

deal, but there are times when no
wind blows, and the householder tires

Unnecessary to Graft Skin.

When much skin is destroyed In

applied either in small isolated patches
to grow gradually over the surface. Or
In pieces up to two or three inches
square to cover a large portion or all
of the wound. At Il recent medical
meeting, Or. r. G. Beck of Chicago
called attention to process of culture
by which skin may be made to grow
without grating even over large sur

lations at the edge of the spreading
fresh skin place an elevated barrier in
its way and if these granulations are
removed as often as every "a hours

covering of paraliin often promotes the

Nothing Green in Death Valley.

The natural vegetation of Death val
ley Is scant and stunted. There Is not
q green thing that grows there natural
ly. The thorny mesquit trees are of a
acknowledgment tinge; So too, are the
grease bushes, while the sagebrush is
either a yellowish gray or the color of
ashes. A little round gorrd called the
desert apple grows in some of the can
yons. 1t turns yellow when ripe and
has thin meat within that is exceed
ingly bitter. The cactus that grows
beyond the valley in abundance is
rare here. In short, the vegetation of
Death valley is terribly scant, even In

STONES KEEP THEIR SECRET
Restoration Of Stonehenee Has Re-

The restoration Of Stonehenge has

There are indications that the entire
monument was surrounded by a cir
Gle Of at least 40 stones. not one OF
which remains today.
=, The office of works. In conjunction
with the society of antiquaries. is
overhauing the monument, replacing
the fallen stones and exploring the
site. Excavations have revealed sock
cts for a number of stones that are
no longer in existence. but history
cannot account for their absence.
During the excavations a number
Of hammer stones, rhisels and burnt
bones were found, also many articles
of more modern origin, scraps OF R0-
man remains, pennies and farthings OF
varying date even up to the present
time. The places where these coins
were found are problem In them
selves. Why, for example, should a
half-penny of George III be found
deeper in the earth than a farthing
of James I?
A new mop of the monument is to
be drawn and preserved in the Anti
quaries museum, hut the object of the

ment, is still unsolved by the recent

practicing law here and in Montana
most of the time for the past fiji
teen years. For several years he
was special agent for the depart

violations of the land, stone and

been associated with j. w. Jones in
the practice of law.
Since the last of January he has
been dividing his time between trav-
cling for information and pleas
ure, and looking after the settle
ment of his former partners estate
at Roundup, Mont. He says he does
not -care to go out campaigning to
get to be county attorney, but will
be glad to have the nomination and
election if people are willing to en-
trust him with the work Of the Of
flee. He said he felt that he owed
the voters of the county an express
sion of his wishes, and an acknowl-
edgment that he would appreciate
their votes. He said to publish some
thing to that effect in The Idaho

printer. So we are marking it lad

belonging to the office. Consider
whether the person is likely to at
tend to duty when elected. Con-
slider whether that person wants the
office for personal advantage or to
accomplish a public service to all
alike. In deciding that question,
you should decide whether the per-
son when elected will be the servant
of all the people, regardless of politi-
cal affiliations, or whether the per-
son will merely seek to serve friends
and political associates and to OPP
pose or domineer over those who are
not friends. Those are important
things to consider in politics, and
unless we consider them and guage
our franchise upon them we shall
not be able to purify politics nor do

We wish to repeat something we
may have said before: Don't base
your vote on whether you like a
candidate personally. Try to put
your tastes and your likes and dis
likes out of the question and de-
eide whether or not that person
will make good in the office to which
he or she aspires. Take little time
to consider your own inclination in
the matter and see if you are decid-
ing for or against the candidate on
the color of the hair or the size or
shape of the nose or some personal
feature or attribute, and if so, that is
not using good political sense. Per-
haps you have a personal liking
for the candidate and feel that you
would like to do that person ia
vor, and on that account you have
decided to vote for him or her. That
is political folly. Get it on the right
basis by deciding whether that per-
son is capable of doing the work
