Christian life? Perhaps he would be
very glad to know it. Five women

Holstein cattle as side line, is build
fng a fine new cow-barn at his place
just north of town. The structure is
rs by go, and is complete in every res

cement floor will be laid and this will
assist in sanitation.
Mr.. Spreading is becoming known
as a breeder of fine Holsteins and he
is putting in good time studying the
business to be able to still further i'm
prove his herd. He says he could make
good money selling milk and cream,
without any "bloomin" business, but
he needs something to while away his
spare hours, so holds on to the cloth

Drydockine Ships by Telephone.

An ocean liner must he held pre-
cisely over the center line of the dry
dock until the supporting blocks are
put in place under the keel. Guild
ing the ship into position is the duty
of the dockmnster. who stands at one
end with a sighting vane which he
alines on the ships masts. With large
ships and modern docks, however, he
is too far away from the men who
carry out his orders to reach them by
shouting, even through a megaphone.
A portable telephone is used by
which the dockmaster communicates
with the power house operating the
dock pumps, and from that point his
instructions are relayed to the proper
gangs, who may be eight hundred feet
or more away from the dockmaster.-

THE DESPISED TREATY?

The majority Of the newspaper cor
respondents in Washington are Will
ing to lay odds that President Hard
ing soon will send the Versailles treaty
back to the senate with an urgent
plea that it be ratified, thus avoiding
the necessity Of making separate
treaty Of peace with Germany.
All efforts to smoke out the presi-
dent or the secretary Of state as to
their final peace plans have failed.
But it is significant that no Wash.
ington official OH the inside will deny
that this is to be done.
Such irreconcilable senators as John-
son, Borah, Knox and others will fight
to the last ditch to prevent ratifica-
ton even though the league covenant
and other Objectionable features have
been cut out.
But it may be taken for granted
that if and when the president asks
the senate to ratify the treaty, he will
have explored the ground thoroughly
enough to know that two-thirds Of the
senators will do as he asks.

"CLOSED SHOP LAWYERS

What's this we reads The mem.

ISOLATION, meeting in Duluth, have re-
pudiated Lawyer L. G. Harris, have
turned down the ''open shop,' and
have come out square]y for the union
shop and all it stands for. Here
it is.
At the Tuesday session of the as.
ISOLATION Charles S. Goodwin of Chi
cage, in an address on promoting ethics
in the profession, made plea for
closer organization Of lawyers. Ethics
in the legal profession are similar to
the working rules Of trade union.
If a union man works for less than
the union scale he violates the union
rules. If lawyer charges less than
the regulation fee for examining an
abstract it is unethical. That is all
the difference there is between uba1
cthics' and "union rules.''
Here is what the bar association is
considering to promote the "ethics
of the legal profession in Minnesota
1t proposes to "draft chapter fol
new state bar association, to which
all attorneys would have to belong
and which will possess the power te
pass on all applicants to the bar and
to suspend and disbar those who dc
not live up to the highest standards
OF the profcssion," which is only 6
polite way Of saying that the claw
ycrs' union would have the right +,
suspend and deny employment to those
who do not adhere to it's unior
.rules''
The lawyers are forced to take suc]
position to protect themselves from
the shysters (scabs) and unethica

HAB1TUAL sLUM-DWELLERs.

Kenneth L. Roberts, who has had
exceptional opportunities for knowing
what he is writing about, makes the
very pregnant statement that the i'm
migration which seeks to flood our
shores from eastern and southern
Europe and from Asia is made I'D of
people who have for ages dwelt in
slums.
Some in city slums. Some in agci-
cultural slums. It has been long
known that we have both kinds Of
slums in this country.
Habitual slum-dwellers naturally
gravitate into slums in this country.
Give them wages and still they lack
the impulse to get on q higher plane
Of living. Their. ambitions for bet
ter things have been crushed. They
make slums as gypsies make camps.
American labor cannot compete with
such laborers as these. 1t drags them
down to the level of the slums them.
selves. The competition is not in
wages alone. 1t is in such things az
the space the family occupies, de.
cency in sleeping accommodations
bathrooms and toilets, the separation
OF the sexes, promiscuity in living
which initiates against the separation
of families, education for the chill.

The Civil war was fought over rus,
such labor competition. The difference
between free labor and slave labor
was not much. greater than that be-.

And the fight is between the CLASSES
which are injured and those benefited

implies. It seems to be based on the
theory that during federal operation
Of the railroads tho workers were less
efficient than before, charge that
has been often and emphatically re-
futed. The government has agreed to
expend during the three year test Pc
Rod and as much more as is repre-
sented by the increased cost Of ma
terials and labor. So much is pro-
vided in the contract between the gov
eminent and the roads.
Director General Davis declares that
payment of any sum above this amount
would be indefensible.
It is inconceivable that any indi-
vidual in the government, or any gov
eminent bureau, would countenance
for one moment the position: that has
been taken by the Association of Rail
road Executives. The approval Of any
part of the unjust, unlawful and ex-
tortionate demands made upon the
government is emphatically not in con-
sonance with proper regard for the
public welfare. To permit the carriers
to steal thousands of millions OF dol.
lars, over and above the very generous
treatment already accorded them, would
undoubtedly be the last straw that
would break the public's patience.
