Republican and Democratic Senators
between them have magnificantIy de-
monstrated to the country how little the
manufacturers receive of what that dis
tressed mortal. the ultimate consumer,
pays. 1t all began with Senator Nc
Cumber's tariff show. He brought to
the Senate chamber clocks, straw hats,
and what not, made in Europe, and sold
here at some 1000 percent profit. Why,
he asked, should the retailer object to
paying a small part Of his profits to
the government Then the Democrats
began. Why did not the Attorney Cen
eral prosecute the profiteers? How
will a 50-percent tariff protect the Am
erican worker, so dear to the Repub-
Iican hearts, from 2000-percent pro-
fits? Were there no tricks in Senator
McCumber's figures? But 4he most
telling answer was made by Senator
Simmons, who arranged display Of
his own. He brought in watches,
knives, and razors, all Of them made
by American manufacturers, at prices
comparable with those in Germany.
The Gillette razor. which sells for s..
is manufactured for less that 10 cents.
he said; while the cheapest German
razors cannot be imported for less than
Fl cents. What the consumer vents
is protection against rampant CONNER
cialism in the selling end, rather than
against foreign NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE TRUE METHODS
ARE NEEDED

In 1853 Stephen Pearn Andrews
said: The knowledge on the part of
the laboring classes or their friends,
that they are under an oppressive and
exhaustive system Of the relations of
capital and labor, does not amount to
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE SYS-
TEN, into which. WHEN KNOWN, it
should be their objest to bring them
selves as rapidly as possible.
ITO discover that true system must
be the work of true science to point
the way to the solution. Mere make
shifts and patched-up contrivances will
not answer. False methods, such as
strikes. trades unions, combinations of
interests, and arbitrary regulations of
all sorts. are but temporary palliatives
ending uniformly in disappointment.
and often in aggravation of the evils
sought to be alleviated.
why not apply our philosophy to
discovering the true system rather than
apply it to the investigation of the
laws according to which the false sys-
TEN works out its deleterious results
Simple equity is this. that so much of
your labor as | take and apply to my
benefit, so much of my labor ought
to give to be applied to your benefit;
and, consequently, if take product
Of your labor instead Of the labor itself
and pay you in the product Of my la
Dor, the commodity which | give you
ought to be one in which there is JUST |
AS MUCH LABOR as. there is in the
product which receive"

II is quite strange that President
Harding has not been aware before that
workers had right to work during
long months while five million of work
ers were denied the opportunity to earn
a living because of being locked out
by the employing class; but as soon as
there is a strike on he suddenly discoy-
ers the right of unprincipled workers to
scab on strikers who are denied Iiv-
ing wage thru his railroad board.
The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-07-15

The editor was in two railroad strikes
himself and does fully appreciate and
justify the reasons that induced the
railroadmen to strike, and he wishes
them the utmost success. There was
really no reason for all Of them to go
out. for when the key workers quit, it
only requires little time for the whole
works to stop. The workers will win.
The slogan is victory.

All Achievement is
Dependent upon knowledge

The ruins of past civilizations (so-call-
ed bear impressive testimony to this
statement. No order of society can en-
dure that does not provide for all the
necessities of every one of its individ-
ual members. physical, social, mental
and ethical. A people divided against
itself, among whom any part is not
given an equal show with everyone
else, is on the way to destruction.
Privileges are incompatible with equity,
with the golden rule.
Those who would readjust human re-
lations upon the basis of eternal prin-
ciple must form mental conception of
what it ought TO be and also how the
present order can gradually and peace
fully be transformed into harnoni-
Gus and equitable condition. Before
anything can be wrought out and ac-
tualized in tangible form, it has to be
called into being in human conscious
ness in the form Of an idea. The birth
Of an idea is a process of mental APP
prehension, inception and generation.
Next it must be pictured by the mag
nation SO wildly and impressiveIy, UNI
till every heartbeat, yearning of soul
and determination of purpose are con-
secrated to its achievement.
This mental creatiyeness demands
leisure and devoted conservation and
cannot function among discord and dis
traction of any kind. Maude Ball in
the Lindlahr Magazine extolIs the goI-
den virtue essential to mental creative
ness as follows:
z Among the Chinese, silence and
low-speaking are counted great virtues.
Their literature is full of proverbs con-
cefning the majesty and beauty of 81
lence. With them. speech may be sill
yer, but silence is golden" Confucius. |
who, among great men, ranks as great, |
based much Of his teaching upon the
quarrelIess life
Holy men Of the East have taught |
the same. By many of the great teach
ers of the past we have been command
ed 10 cultivate silence, in order that we
may not be deaf to the still small voice |
that speaks within the heart. They de-
sire that no language be heard but the
language of divine wisdom. We are
told that this state will be arrived at
only after the storm of passion, the bat
tie of desires and the conflict of intel
Iectual forces is over.
when Pythagoras presented himself |
to the priests of the temple for initia-
lion into the sacred mysteries of Holi-
ness and Power, he was sent away not !
to return until he had succeeded in |
keeping silent for one whole year. |
This command he obeyed and we have
every reason to believe that his power |
was extraordinary.
1t has even been suggested that
Solomon's great wisdom was due to
the fact that his silence was enforced |
On account of so much babbling among
the womenfolk (999 quarreIsome wo-
men) of his household Perhaps Kan
thippe served a similar function for
Socrates who may have been disciplin-
ed in the art of keeping his tongue, by
her vexatious upbraidings.
AT any rate, since ancient times,
the affinity between silence and wis
dom has been cited in song and story. |
He who succeeds in bridling his own
tongue and choosing we'll his words
must acquire power incomparably SUI
perior TO the strength of Hercules.

To have fastened your faith like flag

And have marched away, forgetting

And while the, worldly-wise see nothing

The channel will probably have to be deepened foI one-half or three-quarters of mile md a turning basin provided. This will make it possible to ship tha all tomobile parts from the Detroit fac tory by boat and assemble them right in the heart of one of the great distributing ccnters. The best of rail facilities are at hand

SEATTLE MEN AFTER
 BERlNG SEA GOLD

Glen Patterson and Bernard Kill liam, former Alaskans. and Wilhelm Niedergeseass. all now of Seattle, are at Nome with a boat and ma chine designed to mine the gold that is supposed to extend under Boring Sea The sands of the Nome beach have been worked for years above the low tide line. and they have yielded millions of dollars in placer gold. It has always been the SUD- position that the gold bearing sands extended below the water line and it is to get this that the Seattle men have launched their project.
 Tho boat is prepared. the owners say with it's machinery to work in 20 feet or less of water. They de cline to tell anything about the pro cess they expect to employ to bring the gold bearing sands to the sur face and to separate it from the gold. They say. however. if the scheme works as they hope it will they will have larger boats on the scene next year.

YUKON RIVER POINTS WANT
 BOAT SERVICE
Development of Interior Re tarded by Lack of Trans
 portation Facilities.

Adequate steamer service on the Yukon River is a crying necessity of the Interior, declared George An derson, piano dealer, today, upon his -eturn from a three months busi- ness trip to Interior Alaska and Yu- 'ion points. He arrived in Juneau on .ho Admiral Evans this morning.
 "The Government Railro11 does ome good of course" said MT. An lers1n. but 1t will never be of last ng beneft to the settlements along he Yukon and Davigable tributary streams un;l a connecting steamer service is established With the withdrawal of the White Pass boats rom the regular wsonTanana run the people 'Hving along that vast stretch of river have absolutely no depen1a be means of transportation, md as a result there is little in 'nrtivp to development of the coun- try's undoubted resources.
 Launch Carries Mail
 "The White Pass route operates a mail launch from Dawson to Ia mana every two weeks, but it has no proper accommodations for passen- gers or freight When I left Dawson the little craft had on board 35 pas sengers, crowding every available inch of space, but fortunately most If them got off at Eagle, 100 miles down the river. The company runs T freight boat down the river occa- ,iona!ly with ore from Mayo, but believe this steamer is off the run TOW. Rowboats and launches form he principal means of travel on the river"
 Mir. Anderson says that efforts are being made to induce the govern ment to operate the U. s. army transport General Jacobs. now on the Panama River. in conjunction with the railroad to give regular steamer service to Yukon River points. He believes that in that event the government should give through rates, so that shippers would know beforehand the actual freight charges to any Interior point wheth- CT on the railroad or river. Al present owing to the withdrawal of the White Pass steamers, the freight rates to some river points are ac- tually higher than before the advent f the railroad, he says.
 Tourists Disappointed
 "The l0ck of steamer service is i'llino tho tourist business, too. " raid MT Anderson. When l was at Dawson there were 95 tourists who would have taken the trip down tho Yukon had steamer accommodations NNor available. Instead, they had 70 return 10 the coast via White 1orse over the same route they had oomle into the Interior"
 West ward towns are dcing a good bus'ness. declared MT. Anderson. He said that the establishment of regu- Var steamer service to Kodiak has been of grent benefit to Seward. On recent trip the Starr had 40 pas aengers. most of them destined for the oil fields
