Wage Disputes

There is much conversation these
days respecting wage disputes and
the writer is reminded of rare
species, an occurrence Of which was
half a century ago between-call
them Samuel and Joshua. That, as
you know, was before the push but
ton era, when the average person
was not dependent on the man who
takes out the ashes. Both were
known as farmers, each possessed
free and clear Of all the acres he
seemed to desire, and in addition to
what he knew about tiling those
acres each could be depended on to
build a barn or an ox-yoke If nee
essary.
1t happened that Joshua was
building the barn and Samuel was
helping him, not that he needed the
wage and not that he would not
have preferred to be hoeing his own
corn, but just because he knew that
neighbor needed that barn for the
hay about to be cut. In fact the
wage had not been mentioned till
this day when the work was COM
pleted and the dispute was because
Joshua thought Samuel should have
more than Samuel was willing to
take.
Perhaps Samuel would have been
willing to take more had there been
opportunity for passing it on to a
third party. Such opportunity is a
tremendous temptation especially
when one feels no particular inter-
est in that third or fourth party; let
him pay.
We suppose that with the increase
of opportunity there must also come
increase in temptation, at least in
the variety Of it. Right now good
many people having the opportunity
of passing the buck seem to be
taking advantage of it. Just for IL
lustration, the handling of coal has
never been regarded as having any
thing to do with the "black art" but
those who have to use it are scratch
ing their heads, for there doesn't
seem to be any way in which the
expense may be passed on to another
fellow. Possibly with the develop
ment of civilization that opportunity
will be found and We'll have the
! endless chain in scientific reality
and everyone will be happy. Until
then it's safe to assume wage dis
putes will continue. unless, and the
millennium appears too far away
we shall be able, meanwhile, to ar
rive at an intelligent comprehen-
sion of what thing is actually
worth and an enlightened conscience
which shall make it a pleasure to
accept only what actually belongs
to US.

Neiqhborly Germs.


DR.. Simon Flexner, said to be as
good as any authority in the world,
believes that plaques should be
fought at their source. He has
localized the flu germ where Russia
joins Turkestan.
Here is something for those who
think each nation, or especially this
country, sufficient unto itself. And
while thinking about it to remember
that beri-beri and the bubonic
plague have their origin in those
eastern countries where ignorance
and poverty and fifth abound.
Not only are plague germs found
under such conditions, germs cap
able of making the whole world one
afflicted neighborhood, but there
also are bred the germs of mentali-
ties diseased and perverted by op-
precision. Among those ground I'M
der the heel until they have lost
capacity for individuality, those
who are incapable Of the thrill ex-
perienced by the individual con-
scious Of his ability to accomplish.
there comes the distorted vision OF
a world where all shall be alike and
no man shall excel.
And an these pesky germs are
supplied with initiative and rowing
disposition and inclined to be neigh
borly with every kind of people they
may overtake. BY all means swat
the germ in his habitat. To do this
it will become necessary to acquain,

What Presumption IS
(Lewiston SUM

The women picketers in Washing

The presumption is that they are

ment for ireland than to win motor
iety for themselves.
Ireland should pray to be delivered

A Reqrettabie Attitude.

Mexico, which does not accept
any doctrine contrary to its SOW
ereignty, never needed other protec-
ton or aid then it's own forces"
So declares the Mexican minister
to Brazil. utterly ignoring the affair
with Macmillan, who undoubtedly
would have securely established for
eisn control over Mexico but for the
interference of the United States,
which resulted in his downfall in
1867.
This cheap arrogance on the part
Of Minister Saenz was displayed in
an interview in which he was at
tempting to discredit the Monroe
Doctrine, declaring that it consti-
tutes a real danger to the nations Of
the American Continent because its
applications have been made accord
ing to the point of view of each one
Of the administrators of the United
States
The average Mexican cannot be
expected to hold a very clear percep-
ton of the principles underlying the
Monroe Doctrine and might from
what he has seen of President Will
sons methods have drawn an infer
ence like that advanced by the
Mexican minister, but the latter
knows better and is simply talking
for effect, an effect not creditable to
his conception Of the people he adj
dresses.
So far as President Wilson's in
fuence may have been against the
exploitation Of Mexico-if it shall
appear such influence exists and
leads to any appreciate result-it
would merit approval. In no other
respect are the results at all fortu
nate. Minister SaenZ represents an
arrogance on the part OF Mexican
officials born of conceit promoted by
our "watchful waiting" regret
table attitude. In it may be found
no recognition of our forbearance.
of the fact that but for our interven-
ton Napoleon would have ruled
Mexico, no acknowledgment Of the
financial support Mexico has found
in this country, some of which at
1,n. Nf Inf
country.
Indeed, the vision now before the
eyes of the Carranza regime is not
that of seeking mutually beneficial
cooperation with this country, with
which because of location and facili-
ties and mutual need It ought to
be closely associated. On the con-
trary CarranZa has initiated the pol
icy by which Turkey has been able
to fatten its rotten carcass on Eu-
rope through playing off one coun-
try against the other. To a certain
degree by reason Of the need Of its
oil Mexico has been able to do this,
but the situation is full Of mischief,
of real, lasting advantage to none,
not even Mexico.
If Minister Saenz had said that
the Monroe Doctrine, including the
Mexican policy, is subject to the
whim Of our present administrator,
and that this was a condition which
Mexico as well as the United States
should improve on he would have
said something worth while. AS 1.
is, he is doing what ever must be to
ultimate injury to all concerned,
perverting the facts. But, more's
the pity, he need not look outside
Mr.. Wilson's methods, or lack of
methods, to find encouragement for
his attitude.
