RAPs 4. I. IF 1. FOR AN UNDUE
 USE IF POWER

NEW YORE. March 26. The American Federation of Labor was criticised by Dr. A N. Hollis, presi- dent of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. for what he termed "un- due exercise of power by a minor ity'' in exerting legislative and ad- ministrative pressure in this coun- try
 Addressing an assemblage of ms chsnical and electrical engineers. pr. Hollis said:
 Serious For Future
 When the American Federation of Labor demands of congress certain legislation or represents to the pres ident that he must have one of their number in his cabinet. it is undue exercise of power by minority just as serious to the future of our re public as the present activities of the hyphenates like the German Americans and the Irish-Amerieans Unchecked power of minoritieS | is a danger to any form of govern ment We saw what threatened last winter when the mining men went out. The actual interference of mi norities over legislation and ovel | elections is one of the very strik | ing things in America. Can that type 1 of legislation be tolerated which ex empts organized labor from the sta tutes while placing capital and al associations under injunctions ant i legal prosecution? Positively not

condition met with on the desert road, the accomplishment of the Studebaker becomes even more re- markahle.
 The best record for the run prior to yesterday was IS hours and 27 minutes, made by Ralph Hamlin sev- eral years ago. That was made in road race conducted under two con- trols, with an overnight stop at the river, at which time repairs might be made. The car used in the instance was specially reinforced and trussed for the tIip.
 With the exception of having top, windshield and lenders removed, the Studebaker light six mail car is a stock car throughout.
 Made 3f.1 Miles an Hour
 "The speedometer reading at the end of the run was 422.3 miles, mah- ing an average speed of 31.1 miles an hour for the elapsed time, or rr36.7 for the running time.
 -Four persons made the trip: Hart Weaver, son of Chester N. Weaver, Studebaker distributor at San Fran cisco; and Jack Burns of the service department of Barrett & Pottberg, i Inc, the local Studebaker distributors, 1 as drivers; and Edwin White and William Cook of the San Francisco ! Studebaker office.
 By completing this run the Stude- baker light six added another record to an enyiable list of victories of the same sort that it is rapidly piling up Duly deputized to carry United States mail, on orders from Washington, the
 sturdy little six has swept into the discard every record that it has gone after thus far. The Los AngelesPhoe mix trip is particularly noteworthy owing to the character of the roads and the cruel punishment car must
 be subjected to in travelling at such speed under such adverse condi ] lions"

The Trail at Dawn

At cal of rosy dawn when woodland folk Strike up the maths of the solitude, How sweet to haunt the aisles of temples which The hand of God alone has reared, and steep The sense in holy contemplation and Desire What vital freshness fills the air! The waking flowers breathe incense upon Each passing breeze. Joy born antphony SweIls forth from bush and tree as if the earth Did celebrate Creations Heaven stoops enfoldng all in sweet embrace. Here minds dstraught with grief or fear grow calm Despondent Hope revives, and Faith grows bold Deep answereth unto deep: The voice of Love Wakes living echoes in the longing soul, And Peace thrice gently as the dew, distlls Upon the life cathedraled thus with God How dull in to wonder why the Son Of Man, while bending low beneath the weight Of world catastrophy and finding not A place among earh's hurrying throngs where He Might His crushing load, kept tryst with God In haunts akin to these through all the years He sojourned on the earth!

Parent Teacher Assn. Held an Interesting
 Meeting MondayNight

The regular monthly meeting of the Wrangell Parent-Teacher Association was held at the schoolhouse Monday evening, having been postponed from last
 week.. The attendance was very good.
 Following the business meet ing, Dr. R. J. Diven gave a short address on the subject of Better English" Dr. Diven spoke in- terestingly of the English lan- guage and it's growth and gave as one of the reasons why young people are not familiar with the best language the fact that they read largely to be entertained rather than for instruction and that the popular magazines which form so great part of the read. ing of the present day are not literature. The part of the pro- gram that followed Dr. Diven's talk was planned as a surprise. Miss Oliver. who was to tell something of the plan of the school for the Better English week. had a number of her pu- pills present and they gave an en- tertainingprogram which brought out the necessity for good Eng fish very effectively.
 The first number was a recita- tion by Marjorie Johnson, "And's Farewell" :" Marjorie represented the much overworked land" and Dorothy Voss was the equally abused why" " Then came a playlet, ''The Ain't Case," in which Nellie Rinehart was T Ain't," Chad Wyatt, ''Ain't Got,'' children who were ostra- cized by other children because of their peculiar ailment; Herbert Bradley, Dr. Grammar, Weston Anderson, Dr. Verb and Marion Goodrich, Dr. Pronoun, who pre- scribed for them and administered effective doses. Others taking part were: Gladys Tamaree, Glen Matheson. Etolin Coulter. Irene Tozier. Fred Cunningham, Joe Prescott and Wilfred Gartley. In a dialogue in which all the parts of speech were represented, Glen Matheson, Erma Grant, Ella Everson, Gladys Tamaree, Wm. Lewis, Wilfred Gartley, Raymond Wheeler, Nellie Rinehart and Etolin Coulter had parts.
 Later, Ernest Blue, Deputy Supreme Dictator of the Moose Lodge, who was present, spoke also interestingly on the subject of Better English, and Miss Rees, on request, outlined the plan of the High School for the week. Letters were read from Juneau and Douglas endorsing the plan for the interscholastic contests which it is planned to hold in the spring if the coopera- tion of all the schools of this sec tion can be secured. The resig- nation of Mrs. Wm. Paul who has gone to Juneau to live was read and accepted with regret and Miss Bertha Cary was elected secretary in her place. A num- Der of new members were taken into the organization. The sub- ject of Grading" was announced for the December meeting.

DRY LAND SUMMER HOME

1Ir. II. T. Randle returned Monday
from a two weeks trip to his old home
near Homer, louisiana He reports
the farmers of the cotton section OF
the south in deplorable condition. He
reports the oil fields of Homer, Clair
borne and Red River in a flourishing
condition, though the price of oil has
dropped Sl.50 barrel the new wells
being brought in keeping the incomes
about the same. G. T. Shaw, his
brother-in-law, whom he was visiting,
has about $50 oil wells SO far and
others drilling. A number of these
wells have flow of from 10000 to
$4,000 barrels day. Mr.. Shaw has
purchased twelve sections of dry land
north of Hartman, which he will make
one of the best dry land farms by i'm
proving in the most up to date manner.
A $4,000 residence will be one of the
many improvements that will be plac-
ed on the ranch the coming summer,
where he will make his home in Colo
RADIO part of the year. While in Louis
lana, Mr.. Randle helped Mr.. Shaw in
picking out some 5 car loads of farm
machinery, which is being shipped to
Hartman, part of which includes three
j large caterpillar tractors. About 5000
acres<will be prepared for spring and
fall wheat, velvet beans and other up
land crops. Eastern Prowers county
is very fortunate in securing man
of Mr.. Shaw's means and determina-
tion to make dry land farming in this
section a success.-Hartman Enter

Tariff on Sugar

Senators Smoot OF Utah and Rams
dell Of Louisiana, the former a Repub-
lican and the latter n Democrat, had
much the better of the argument when
they advocated the imposition Of a
protective tariff on sugar. Neither the
beet sugar producers nor the cane su-
gar producers Of the United States
can successfully compete with the pro-
ducers of Cuba and other foreign coun-
tries where both wages and the stan
dard of living is very low, says the
Desert News. Cuban sugar, with
freight added, dropped 4 cents in New
York the last of January, which will
entail additional loss to the Ameri-
can producers, who will be compelled
to meet the cut. This is most seri-
GUS matter when we take into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that the ruling prices
of the past few weeks are below the
cost of production. We have no SYM
pathy for the spectators in sugar who
lost heavily last year. But the sugar
industry of this country must be pre-
served and the tariff is the only means
by which it can be accomplished. There
may be some question as to the bene-
fits Of a protective tariff on some
other agricultural products, but so far
as sugar is concerned it is difficult to
discover any valid arguments on the
negative side.

Gently sustained n great loss when
their Junior herd bull died. A six
inch bristle from wire brush which
he had eaten was found sticking thru

bulls dam has produced over 1000 lbs.
of butterfat in a year and his death
means a serious loss to the breed
Due to the scarcity of money and
the unwillingness of the Valley breed
ers to show their stock the Holly Cow
Club decided to postpone their 1921
Dairy Day until 1922.
John Dross recently sold his cows
to IN Ell Paso buyer.
Dairying the last few years has had
many drawbacks. The high priced
feeds, poor and high priced dairy lab
or coupled with prosperous grain farm
ing has robbed the dairy business of
much of its support. However condi-
tons have changed and the dairy COW
is going ahead converting cheap and
unmarketable feeds into the greatest
food product in the world. Not only
that but when all other sources of n
come on the farm has ceased the COW
is still bringing in that monthly check.
Instead of her value decreasing it is
holding up to its high mark because
with cheap feed ard cheap labor the
earning capacity of good COW has
been greatly increased.

Railroad Wages and Lower Living
Costs

] tOsts.
Commenting editorially on the test
imony brought out in the hearing be-
/ fore the Railroad Labor Board in Chi
cago, the Topeka Daily Capitalism
ator Arthur Capper's paper-says:
What railroad labor should consid-
er fundamentally in the present dis
pute over wages is whether transpor-
tation shall stand out alone against
the trend towards living conditions.
BY this is meant lower prices. The
world is demanding living prices af-
ter an orgy of war profiteering and
war production. There is a universal
demand for prices corresponding to
those for farm products, the basis of
all living. Not only the farmer de-
mands it so that he may become n
liberal producer, but all people demand
it.
1T is impossible, of course, to real
ize low living prices without high
production. There must be work done
and goods produced, or prices will rise
with millions of persons in idleness,
spells high prices, or goods idle on
the shelves because idle persons can
not buy.
when railroad labor stands out for
perpetuating wages based on maxi
mum prices it prevents reduction of
transportation charges, which are to-
day a deterrent to revival of trade.
When it demands that rates be reduc-
ed before wages go down it places the.
cart before the horse. If wages are
brought down to a parity with other
industries, then the way is cleared
somewhat for lower rates. 1t is re-
cognized by railroad arrangements
!. that rates are now as high as the
traffic will bear, and in some instances
no doubt higher, and will inevitably
move downward when they move at
all. They can not be reduced on pres
ent wage arrangements.
'It is clear that where labor obtains
compensation for reduced wages is in
reduced cost of living. There has been
terrific pressure to bring down liv-
ing costs, a pressure thru the "over-
alls" demonstration, the advance not
ice given by the public of the "con-
sumers' strike" which Immediately fol-
lowed in good earnest, and thru the
brief shutdowns of factories forcing
the hand of labor. Both these forces
did lower living costs. But they can
not be permanently lowered until fac
tories are going again and production
is speeded up. When the determined
purpose of the public is to bring low
er living costs and when millions are
idle is no time for railroad labor to
stand out against the universal de-
mand and need"

abolished or not is one matter which
the British are preparing 70 fight out,
If it takes all winter.
Other delegations this morning stat
ed that they Were equally anxious for
q successful conclusion and that they
would remain until the major ques-
lions had been settled. One factor
that slows UP the conference work is
the frequency with which the Japa.
nese must refer to their government

to send a query and receive reply.
owing TO the relaying OF the message
and the time taken TO decode them at
