First Smell of Printers Ink.

Chores" is an important word in
the lexicon Of the son of a country
doctor. 1t means horses to curry and
COW to milk morning and evenings.
Few boys on farms or in small towns,
have learned to do these things earlier
in life than Warren G. Harding learned
them If boy may have another boy
Of his liking with him the labor is

they never hid the cheese or nailed up

the cost by multiplying every member
of your family and every person IN
your employ by $40. In majority OF
cases the increase will be a further

must patch little more and pinch a

We know Of no theory or practice
in commercial transactions that pre-

Peaceful Picketing.

When does peaCeiul plchetlhs IC~Se
to lhe peaceful pIcketing?
Not at the point where Justice Roder-
beck, OF the New York supreme bench
fixes It, in the opinion of many legal
experts and many ignorant laymen.
Justice Rodenbeck has given judg
mont for 100000 and over TO the firm
Of Mlchaels, Stern 4 Co.. OF Rochester,
against the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers for damages incurred from I'M
lawful picketing, The money is to come
out Of the pockets of the officers OF
the union II the treasury can not make
Il up.
But appeal has naturally been taken
In q case where lawyers think the jus
tics Strained point against labor.
1t was not denied that the Anal
gamated Workers were under the ordi-
nary obligations OF keeping the peace.
To that end they We're continually,
throughout the course of a long strike.
Instructed by their leaders that violence
must be neither threatened nor at
tempted.
The defendants commended. and re-
ports do not show that their claim
was denied. that the union had a per
feet right to do peaceful mass picket
ing" or to stand opposite the gates OF
the firm and by their numbers and
unanimity give the so-calied "scab''
workers evidence of the state of public
opinion. In other woras, they had the
right to produce a moral effect, but
not an effect Of intimidation. So much
would seem to be Implied in the consti
tutional right "ot the people peaceably
to assemble" ssL.
The union workers, or at this stage
1t would be better TO call them the
union idlers, used 10 call the substitute
workers by sundry names, in spite OF
the advice OF their leaders but they
did not go the limit in this respect.
They did not go any farther than the
good people who used to engineer the
Liberty loan drives. where big parades
were held with the idea of exhibiting
the force OF popular sentiment to the
unwilling subscribers, and the slackers
were held up 20 the public scorn by
various unflattering epithets.

 A party of three men consisting of l.. J. Carlson, William Carlson and B. F. Weyand rode in from Aux Bay Saturday over the new govern ment road They travelled in a Ford car and demonstrated that although the snow is quite deep, the road can be travelled over.
 William Carlson acted as chauffeur and at times both he and his passen- gers were forced to get out to shove the car through the deep snow When the snow goes off of this road it will be used almost exclusively by the cannery people at Aux Bay ill getting back and forth to Juneau as Aux Bay being across the Bar the tide enters into the navigation of the waters.
