LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Mr.. Aesop was born in Greece, about
$500 years ago. He was a slave in his
youth but afterward was given his free
dom In consideration of his wit. He
wrote many fables, some of them were
philosophical, others were ethical. while
others were satirical Under the title of
Inc Members and the Belly" he wrote
table which shows that even in those
days of long ago there was antagonism
between Labor and Capital A free
ira nslation of this fable is now being cir
culated IN England and reads as follows: 8
AT special meeting the Tongue, a.
chairman. thus addressed the members
clio W members, how long are we to
allow ourselves to be robbed, and the
profits of our labor to be absorbed by the
greed and seltishness of the Belly, who
leads an idle and luxurious life, while we
are working hard for him2 | call upon
you all to strike, to revolt from this afro
clous tyranny; l call upon you, Hands,
not to lift finger to keep the miscreant
from starvation; upon you Legs, not to
bring supplies; upon you Arms, not to lift
to the mouth; to you Teeth, not to chew
a morsel; in fact, call upon every mem
Der to Join in destroying this mscreant,
Belly"
Ihls speech met with tremendous ap-
piause, and all members pledged them
selves to carry out the revolt. A few
days afterwards another meeting was
held, at which the Tongue said: "Fellow
members! let me congratulate you on the
success of our policy; the Ear has told
me that last night he heard the Belly
rumbllng and grumb bling and moaning in
the most awful manner; I could say
more, but, unfortunately, l am feeling a
little out of sorts, l am dry and parch-
ed" Then the other members began to
complain; the Legs said they were very
shaky; the Arms could not lift anything;
the Teeth had been chattering all night;
and all seemed to think there must be
some infectious epidemic raging. At last
the Head Saddle us ask Brains what is
the matter; he is very knowing fellow,
and will be able to prescribe remedy"
Brains, when consulted, said: "You silly
fellows; Belly is not the idle beast you
supposed; he has worked for you night
and day Dig sting the food you brought
to him, and distributing it to all of you,
so by your revolt you have cut off your
own supplies of food and consequently
you are suffering tor following the advice
of that mischievous agitator Tongue.
"You ought to have taken warning
from the words ST. James wrote to the
Tribes of Israel some 1000 years ago."

Searsport, Me-, June II, 1858.
He was of Scotch and English ancestry
in the Revolutionary War. The early
Fowlers came over with the Pilgrim
fathers and on his mothers side he was
descendant of the Carver and Curial
families of Scotch history.
As lad his schooling was in the public
schools of Camden, Me-, graduating from
the academic course. Later he spent
about ten years of his very young man
hood as a seaman, visiting many of the
principal ports of the world.
He was united in maria ,e to Lottie A.
Treat at Searsport in 1888, and to them
three children were born, all of whom are
still alive. The eldest is Albert E. Fowler
of Buffalo, N. Y, the second daughter,
Mrs. Mona L. McDaniels of this city, and
the youngest, Donald w. Fowler of Buff
falo The wife died in 1908 and January
rs, 1905, he was again married, this time
to Miss Hattie d. Brouhard of Colorado
One daughter, Dorothy Lucille, aged IL
years, blessed this union.
Mr.. Fowler left the State of Maine in
1886 and came to Iowa, locating first in
Des Moines, where he remained until
1888. when he came to Ames and became
manager of the B. A. Lockwood Grain
Company's business. He remained there
until 1908, when he was elected treasurer
of the county and moved to Neva la. He
served as treasurer of the county for
eight years, during which time he was at
the head of the County Treasurer's Asso-
citation of the State and ranked as lead
er in office management in that line.
While he had been especially active in
Masonry, he had also found time for other
lodge activities, having been a member
of both the Odd Fellows and Knights of
Pythias as well.
Mr.. Fowler was man earnest and
ardent in all of his life's work yet he
always found time to be genial and cour-
| teous in his dealings with men, loved his
home and was most devoted husband
and father and leaves a wide circle of
friends who will sincerely mourn his
very sudden and untimely death.
Besides his wife and four children, he
| leaves one sister, Mrs. Ellen johnson of
Boston. One brother, James N, came
out from the east with him and settled
in Ames, where he conducted haber-
dashery business until his death in 1907

father died at Rockport, Me-, about three
years ago.

Postmaster General Hays has decided
to revise completely the aviation mail
service established by Mr.. Burleson. The
experiment was costly one, and was of
little if any value to the postal service.
1t was attended by shocking succession
of fatalities and in many reported in
stances valuable mail was burned when
burning planes crashed to earth. MIR.
Hays proposes to cut out all the short
hauls because it has been found that the
steam roads carry the mails at less cost
and more efficiently. We believe Mr..
Hays should go further and leave the
development of continental aeronautics
entirely to the military department
There is too much duplication of work
by our governmental departments and
agencies.

Dover, N. Fl,
SIN 1906, I began to be troubled
with Eczema. 1t started on my face

had to lay off work. I would keep
my hands tied up at night to prevent
digging into my flesh while asleep.
1spent hundreds of dollars in seeking
relief. I would 60 for several months
without trouble and then the Eczema
would break out again and I would
be in for siege of suffering. My
hands, especiallyacross the knuckles,
would be so pulled and swollen I
could not do any obstetrical work
or operations.

It is reported that our Secretary Hughes
and Ambassador Shidehara of Japan
have begun preliminary discussions which
it is hoped may lead to direct negotia-
tons for the settlement of all questions
pending between Japan and this country.
1t is understood that this discussion was
first proposed by Japan and of course the
United States met the proposition with
pleasure 1t is vastly more sensible to
carry on direct negotiations than it
would be to leave the settlement of the
important matters at issue to moribund

About two months ago the Senate
passed resolution for the repeal of the
declaration of war. This resolution was
sent to the House of Representatives for
passage in concurrence Instead of doing
this Congressman Porter introduced a
resolution declaring that the war was at
an end. After the expulsion of vast vol
umes of hot air this resolution was passed
by a vote of sos to 81. This matter will
now go to conference between commit
tees, as both houses seek practically thel
same result. Whether the conferees
reach an agreement is not important.

years ago

Solicitor For Santa Fe
Urges NetO State Seal
Asks Governor Allen to Call Special Session of Legislature
to Take Action on Same-Judge Smith Says Seal Is
primitive, Inartistic Picture of Semi-Civilized
Region"

In righteous wrath and Inundated
because the legislature has failed to
provide a state seal in keeping with
the spirit and progress of the state.
Judge w. r. Smith, general solicitor
for the Santa Fe and former supreme
court Justice, has asked Governor Al
len to call a special session OF the leg
isIature. Judge Smith denounces the
present seal as "a primitive, inartistic
picture of a semi-ciyiiized region" and
pokes fun at the states coat of arms
as provided by legislative enactment.
Wants New Design.
The present seal is held to be fern-
blematicaI of nothing in which we

Judge Smith in his letter to the

My Dear Governor Allen:

with ballot in her hand. No broken demi-
john indicates the advent of prohibition.
In adopting a new SEAL II it is thought
necessary to stuff the picture full of emble-

Winfield Says Salt Water Spells
It's Supply of Gas.
Sues Empire Company, De-
handing Salt Be Halted.

winfield, Kan. July 16.-Court
proceedings. involving an issue per
haps unprecedented in Kansas legal
annals. is set for hearing in the dis
trict court here Saturday when the
Empire oil & Gas company must
show cause why a permanent injunc-
ton should not be granted, restrain
ing it from permitting salt water from
it's gas and oil wells to penetrate the
gas field from which Winfield obtains
it's local supply. The effect of the salt
water will be to ruin the gas supply,
it is alleged. A temporary injunction
was granted againSoH&he Empire COM
pany on July z, the alternative writ
returnable Saturday.
The city of Winfield is plaintiff in
tho proceedings. and Harry Latham,
a contractor employed by the Empire
company to pull the castings out of
certain wells. and the Empire COM
pany are defendants.
1t is pointed out in the petition that
the eompany's alleged motive in de-
stroying the local gas field is that
thereby the city of Winfield would be
compelled to obtain gas from the
company'sl pipe line at Sc cents a.
thousand cubic feet, whereas the price
of the gas obtained from the local
field is but 80 cents. The city's petit
ton AYERS that the local field has suf-
ficient gas, If properly conserved and
handled, to supply the city for many
years.
A state law enacted by the last leg
islature, to prohibit the pollution of
the fresh water supply. by permitting
salt water from oil or gas wells to es-
cape into the fresh water source, may
become involved in the case, it is said
by attorneys The state law, how
ever does not cover the pollution or
rum of a natural gas supply by the
escape of salt water from oil or gas
wells.
