Most Of the folks in this town, the
hard working laboring class, get up
around 6 in the morning. That daily
call comes to my ears, however two
hours after ! and many of my fellow
workers have been on the job, speed
ing out the cars like runners along
the spokes of gigantic wheel over
the hills, through the valleys and cats
and over the bridges to our termi-
nails and outlying towns to pick up
our brothers who ride in to keep
the wheels of industry on the 60.
The lie-a-beds miss much. You who
sleep would better be up and see
with all the sight you have the beav-
ty of the early morning and be bet
ter men for it.
Who Said Jobs Cinch!
"Such is the beginning Of our
daily tour. Holidays and other days
are all alike to us who clang our
gongs and pull the bell cords. Yet
folks don't understand the nature of
our jobs. How often have heard
some average citizen Solomon re-
mark, What cinch those guys
have All they do is turn handle,
clang the gong, run along and get
the best in wages. See how fat they
are and lazy, just standing all day,
and yet they have the crust to want
more pay Let's see just what sort
of cinch this days work is, any
how. .Et."-N
Take myself, for instance" he
said. Now to take him is to take
into account what is most typical
of the best in our motormen. He
is big genial man with unfathomed
good will, strongly favored with an
outspoken down-rightness. Further
more like many men who have to
deal with the crowd day in day
out, he has developed a habit OF
silent observation on duty which
distils most of the philosophy and
humor out of the days run and
lightens the task for all concerned

get your goat" said one motorman,
but as a rule the people are fine
and will meet a man halfway. It
certainly makes the motorman's
load lighter and you go home feel
ing better for a good days work
done. 1t improves the trolleymen
just as much as theS public, too.
"Well, frierd,' the big motorman
concluded, II guess you've got fair
idea of what we are up against in a
days work. Here comes my car,
and I'll have to catch on and finish
out the days run. So long and good
luck to you"

WHY DOES UNION LABOR DEFEND feB MOBILES?

{ Attorney Nyndeycer, who is conducting the. de- fense of tho Contrclia Wobblies who are charsed of the mirdcr of former American solders' says ne is, emnloyed by the Central Labor Council of Seattle Why? Why does Union Labor in so many instances feel called upon to defend those charged with crime? Why does it to the front so frequently to pay the bills to defend men who are charged Of crimes involving patriotism? Why does it rush to the de- fense of tynamiters. bomb -throwers and murderers of officers of the law? It will be admitted that these men should have fair trial So should prof iteers and slave drivers. So should all men "ho are charged of crime. If Union Labor were an or ganizaton formed for the purpose Of providing 1unds for the defense of all who charged of crime that would be well and good. But it doesn't defend all who are so charged It is when Steuenenberg Su perintendent. men wearing tue uniform of the unit ed States, murdered, or when Mcnamara dyna mites newspaper office and kills score of men women and children, Mooney hurls bomb into a patriotic parade wobblies shoot down re- turned soldiers who marching in celebration o' peace or Sawyer is charged of crimes involving his loyalty to the country that the defense must be made a special tax on labor.
 Does organized labor want to be understood aS desiring that the murderers of Warren Grimm, Dale Hubbard and the other returned soldiers of Centraa should go unpurished? Does it approve of bomb ing patriotic street parades? Does it favor cheating when the country in time of war is enforcing sell ectiye draft? If not why does it pick out this par ticuiar variety crimes when it provides the means of defense .-.
 If the real honest patriotic American working men do not prevent the Wobblies in their midst from pushing them and their pocket books forward in these character of they will have them selves to blame if public looks with suspicion upon their patriotism and loyalty. The patriotic mon and women of the country and they are in the vast majority, would enthusiastically applaud any workingman who would refuse to continue his mem bership in a Union that used the money he pays in dues in this For it's own good, organized labor should purge itself of class that is having too much say in its councils. 45s

STANFORD MAY BECOME SUPER
 UNIVERSITY

Believing that the extension of Junior College work in the High Schools to include the first two years of college work is the proper next step in the evolution of the American educational system. Le- land Stanford Junior University is seriously consid cring the elimination of the Freshmen and Sopho- more classes from its courses and becoming super university" Those who advocate this change be- 1ieve that the proper work of the university is spec talixation along technical lines leaving the general academic field largely to the public schools. They assert that this Is being done to such extent that in many of the universities the majority of the students taking special courses, depending upon their high school work for the foundation for their education Herbert C. Hoover. who has been Trus- tee of Leland Stanford for many years is said to favor the elimination of the Freshman and Sopho- more classes thus requiring higher acad- emic eduction for students in the Stanford special cocrses. It is said that no less authority edu- cation than President Wilson influenced him to the belief that the raising of the educational standards for admission to university special courses is of the things necessary to the creation of efficiency this country and that the best way to bring it about would be for the universities to leave high schools and the old fashioned academic colleges the task of providing the educational foundations. The universities could then concentrate their special ization in technical education and training.

 When man is engaged to a girl he may have a nice crease in his pants when he enters her home to call on her. But the crease isn't there when he leaves her house

Yukon's Fur Crop

Dawson News)
 From advices coming to Dawson, this will be a banner winter in the production of fur in Yukon Territory. The great demand in the world markets have caused advance in prices which has stimu- lated the trapping industry to wonderful degree.
 The Yukon hills and wales covered with hun dreds of trap lines. In every portion Of the country from the British Columbia border to the Arctic there is the intensive activity among the trappers They realize the splendid opportunities and the nigh prices prevailing and the consequent good returns.
 Hundreds of men now in the hills will come out in the Spring with as much wages as many men working with most steadfast application would earn in year the Outside. The beauty of the trap pers money is that it is mostly profit His expenses for wood water and rent are practically n1 wh1!e much of his food he obtains with the rifle. Indians well whites obtaining these large revenues from furs in Yukon this Winter. One Indian sent word to Dawson from point to the Northwest few days ago that he had caught muskrats aIready this Winter to the value of 61,5O0. Fox, lynx bear, wolverine and other animals also yielding Splen- did returns.
 The Winter is yet young, and many good trap ping not covered. Men who are not en- gagged in other vacations and who do not plan to take mp prospecting mining will do well to get into the hills now. It will be quite little time be fore the next season of open mining operations will begin. In the meantime those who will capitalize their time with aid of the traps will be almost sure of lining their poke.
 One fox skin sold in Dawson several days ago for $655, constituting in itself than many work man will profit in the Outside world in year. A few marten will bring in grubstake Last Winter one man caught one marten which sold for $100 in Dawson, and tidcd him the critical period and solved his grubsake problem.
 No more wholesome and at the same time happy occupation be found in the open. The trapper is his own boss. True, he must be musher, and he must work, but who is there who makes any gain who does not have to work? And, after all. work is the most wholesome and Sautary part Of life.
 The Yukon fur harvest is ripe, and may be shared by any who wish It is estimated that with the men in the field Yukon this Winter will produce furs to the value of $500,000. If all who are unoccupled will accept the opportunity the total may be made much greater Now is the day of opportunity

A Cabinet of Changes
(New York World)

INeW 1OTk WOTIUJ
 "A Cabinet of Changes young friend Harveys Weekly, apropos of the prospective retire. ment of Franklin K. Lane and "there is still time for several more changes
 How differently things ordered in those dear Roosevelt days Wilson has had two Secretar- ies of State and Roosevelt had only three Wilson has had Secretary of the Navy and Roosevelt had only six Wilson has had one Secretary of the Interior and Roosevelt had only two. Wilson has had two Secretaries of War and Roosevelt had only three. Wilson has had Postmaster General and Roosevelt had only five. Wilson has had as many Attorney Generls Roosevelt, and two Secretaries of the Treasury to Rooseyelt's three.
 During the Roosevelt Administration there were nine departments of government and twenty-nne more less distinguished statesmen wandered in and out of the Cabinet, and only one of them man. aged to survive both of the Roosevelt Admnistra- tions. But it is the Wilson Cabinet, of course, that is "a Cabinet of Changes"

Retail trade was 10 to Is per cent better than in October, the last previous month, and f5 per- cent. better than in November of the year before
 On the first day of December there were between 900 and 5000 out of work In Washington and a similar number in Oregon, far less than were thrown out of work account of the seasonal clos ing of the logging camps and suspension of agricul- tural work for the winter
 The review says that for the first time in their history Washington and Oregon paper pulp mills shipping paper to the Atlantic Coast All plants arc running to their full capacity. They are get ting seven cents pound for their neWs-print paper at Atlantic ports with three cents added Tor freight as compared with pre-war prices of 1 to 1a cents delivered.
 Referring to the fisheries situation on the Pa cifIc Coast, the Review for November says:
 large decrease in the higher grades of
 salmon has resulted in 1919 salmon pack

 500,000 cases compared with 9,O0O,O0V
 100000 in 1918 and 1O000,o0o In
 1917. This continuing decrease has as
 sumed such serious proportions that the
 salmon interests have inaugurated cam
 paign, which has for it's purpose the correc-
 ton of the present evils in fishing, the se-
 curing of immediate protection Of spawn
