THE COMMON INTEREST.

According to any enlightened conception OF So
ciety, the members of a community, great or small,
have a common interest in the common prosperity.
For a time one group may profit at the expense Of
another, but in the long run a state of affairs in
which one group is favored beyond it's deserts and
another is deprived of that which justly belongs to
it reacts to the disadvantage Of the entire cornnuni-
ty, and even those who have been most highly
favored are bound to suffer from the reaction which
is sure to come.
Politicians of a certain type have attempted to
capitalize the mutual interest of the farmer and the
wage worker, and in some cases they have met with
considerable success. But what group Of politi-
clans, and what body of organized labor will TODAY
stand forth and attempt to justify the demands that
are now being made on North Dakota for SIS 90 to
$500 per day. with board and lodging, for harvest
labor?
The American manufacturer is given by law a
very substantial protection against foreign compcti-
ton. When the demand for his product is ~unsatis-
factory he can cease production until the conditions
are more favorable, and he is able thus to reduce
his expenses almost to the vanishing point. Organ
lied labor has the protection that comes from Or
ganization, and il. order to enforce its demands it is
able to bring pressure to bear in the form OF strikes.
The immigration laws prevent the Importation Of
labor in1arge quantities.
The farmer, because Of conditions which neither
henor his government can control, is in competition
with the world. He.1s producing at a greatly en-
HANGED cost, and his product goes on the market at a
price which is disproportonately low Yet the
North Dakota farmer is asked just now to pay wag-
ses for the finishing Of his harvest vastly greater than
the wages paid for a similar class of labor in any
other industry IN the country.
az seems that the community Of interest disap-
sears when the farmer is one of the parties to the
enterprise. Men who are standing on the street
corners in many Of the cities and villages o.. the
state and refusing to go to work on the farms for
wages greater than ate paid to skilled mechanics

WHY OBJECT TO GUARDS?

. 1t would be interesting to have some one in au-
thority explain just why railroad men in some
branches Of the service in some parts of the country
object to the presence of guards on and around rail-
road property.
The man engaged in private business usually
thinks that he is at liberty to take what measures
he pleases to safeguard his property provided he
does not interfere with anybody else. We take it
that the employment of a Waterman in a store to
prevent goods from being carried off by thieves is
not considered offensive to the store clerks. The
clerk who would object to the employment Of such
a guard might quite naturally be suspected of hav-
ing %pilfering designs of his own, or of desiring op-
portunities for pilfering for some of his outside
friends.
In what way does the employment of a guard,
or an army of guards, to protect railroad property
from violence interfere with the rights and the free
dom Of action of an employee who c~ontemplates no
violence, and who does not desire violence to be
committed by others. Surely the conductor, the en-
gineer, the fireman or the brakeman on a train is not
injured by the fact that the railroad company has
employed guards to see that somebody else does not
loosen the bolts on engines or throw stones through
the coach windows.
Unless it can be shown that the employment Of
guards in some way menaces men who are attend
ing to their own business, no conclusion is possible
except that objections to guards are based on sym
pathy with violence.

INVADING THE BEAUTY SPOTS.

The effort which has been made to induce con.
gress to grant to certain private interests the free
use OF certain of the waters of our great parks for
irrigation purposes is just an example of the tend.
ency of commercial interests to invade the beauty
spots of the country for the sake of profit under the
guise of necessity.
A national park may not. and usually does not
produce food, fuel or raiment. Therefore there is a
tendency to consider it a waste. 1t is pointed out
that bodies of water which now serve no purpose
except of an esthetic nature might, if properly d.
rected, be made to produce many bushels of wheat
or pounds of wool by making productive certain
sections now barren. Granted, and the process
would result in depriving thousands Of people for all
time of a satisfaction which they believe to be useful
to them, and for which they are willing to make con.
siderable effort.
1t is admitted that human beings need beauty,
Many Of them find it in fine paintings and %statuary.
Others find it in gardens and fountains, limitations
after a fashion, of the things which nature has pro.
vided on a lavish scale. Enlightened people do not
consider it wasteful for men to devote some portion
of their income to the creation of works of beauty,
which, OF themselves, neither feed. clothe nor shelf
er. Usually it is considered wise for the nation to
spend millions on the building OF a beautiful emor-
ial like the Washington monument or the Lincoln
memorial. 1t is not equally wise and proper that the
nation should retain and preserve untouched natural
features of enhancing beauty or solemn grandeur
such as are to be found in our national parks? 1t we
destroy them, or permit them to be defaced or de-
based in any way, we are performing an act which
can never be recalled, and obliterating something OF
value for which there is no substitute.

HEIP FOR THE D1ABRIICs.

Located deep in the abdomen is a
very important glsnd known to ply
s!eians and Psychologists as the
pancrsAs. The butcher calls 1t sweet
breads. from the belly.
This gland lies horizontally in the
abdomen below the stomach, almost
directly behind the umbilicus, and ia
we'll covered by the organs ct dises.
ticn. which are placed in front of it.
IT secrets a fluid called the pancreatic
JUICE, which is poured into the small
intenstine along with the bile. but a
short distance from the opening out
Of the stomach.
This secretion mixes with the food

ach. SO far. as the chemical pro

gastric Juice Nor the bile.
But In addition to secreting pan

INCREASING BUFFALO.

The largest herd Of buffalo in the world is that
Of the Canadian government at Wainwright, in
northwestern Canada, and which is now estimated
to number more than 1000. q
The herd, largest in the world, numbered early
in the spring when the last census was taken GAG
head. The natural increase for the year was 1,o75
while the decrease due to old age. fighting and the
slaughter Of animals was 81. leaving a net increase
Of 994.
Many calves are reported this year. Their ex-
act number is not yet known1but it is estimated at
considerably more than 900. So, it is believed, the
herd now numbers more than 1000. This is said to
be three-hfths Of all the bison left in the world Of
the millions Mat once roanled the western plains on
the continent.
The nucleus Of the herd numbering ,approx;-
nnately 700 head was obtained from Michael Pablo,
a half-breed Indian of Montana, thirteen years ago,
The animals have multiplied to eight and onelhalf
times their original number. The Wainwright park
on the Canadian National Railways contains 100
square miles under mesh-wire fence.
