Cattle Damage
Highway

LUSK-Some $50 head of cattle
were driven over the state highway.
known as the Lusk-Newcastle road.
Saturday and according to n of the
men working for the state highway
department, caused n great amount OF
damage as this road has been newly
graded and put in excellent shape this
summer.
That number Of cattle travelling owe
the grades wore the sides off. causing
the road to be much narrower than
when 1t was completed and greatly in
creasing the danger of accidents.
II is said that there is an old county
road about a mile east Of the state
road which has never been graded and
which would make much easier trav-
cling for cattle and incidentally save
the state a lot OF money which will
be needed to repair the damage.
No doubt, II the matter were only
brought to the minds of those trailing
cattle to town. they would be glad
to use the county road. The high
way has been in fine shape all the
latter part of the summer and a joy
to those travelling 1t.

the labor cost in his particular manufacturing op-
Grafton, ignoring the fact that the cost of the raw
materials he uses is largely represented by the
payroll of the fellow who produced the raw ma
terial-when you add to the 50 per cent direct labor
expenditure of the railroads the indirect labor bill
for the coal they burn and for producing the loco
motives, the cars and the rails with which they
operate, you will see that something like so cents of
every dollar that is taken in for transportation
is paid out for labor necessary to make the trans.
portation possible"
From the census bureaus summary of manufac-
lures for 1921 compared with 1914 it is learned that
while the number of establishments increased but
three per cent the amount paid out in salaries and
wages increased over one hundred per cent, and
this took into consideration only the "labor con-
tent" to which Mr.. Legge refers. The value of the
products in 1914 was about s24, 900, 100000. AS
Stunning that labor accounted for sixty per cent
of that value then, this would mean $14, 400, 600, 900.
The value of products in 1921 was nearly $4,000.
100000. With labor accounting for eighty per cent
this would mean $35, OOO, OO,OOo, or two and a half
times the 1914 figure. A ton of coal or iron has
only potential value at the mine.
The most constructive movement under way at
the present time for the relief of the farmer is the
development of cooperative marketing. This is
Mr.. Legge's belief as we'll as the belief of many
other forward looking men and friends of agricul-
ture.

Predict No Strike

Those who come from conferences with President
Coolidge freely predict that there will be no coal
strike. He sees the men of both sides, operators and
miners representatives; and the presidents fair
ness and firmness are at once to be seen. That
is one reason for the predictions that in the APP
preaching settlement between the miners and OPP
orators it is expected that amicable and equitable
relations will rule. Enforcement of the law and
protection to the public as well as open and fair
treatment for the men employed and justice to the
operators is exactly what may be expected from
the president.
Radicalism, Bolshevism and any other ism out
side of Americanism will receive scant courtesy
from Mr.. Coolidge. He has been tried out too fire.
ouently on these things to leave doubt as to his
attitude.
Like all other thorough-going Americans Mr..
Coolidge is a true friend of organized labor and
desires its prosperity and well-being but he connot
and will not abide disloyal assaults upon American
institutions by irresponsible radicals who may be
temporarily the spokesman for labor or any other
interest.
Labor has done a large work, on its own account,
to rid itself of radicals and undesirables, which
element is bound to creep into all organizations.
This sort of membership, while it is unteachable,
should be allowed to count only in numbers, and
then kept in the ranks, not in places of leadership.
Labor's misunderstanding with employers would
be largely visionary were this policy adhered to
more scrupulously.

Second Recent Injury

SHERIDAN-C. II. Walker, former
night police chief of Sheridan, who
was basking "Heinie' Kerr in his H.
hour walk to Buffalo Wednesday for
a wager Of 500 with Owen Moore,
stepped out OF his automobile about
10 miles north of Buffalo or a small
loose rock which rolled and threw him
to the ground, resulting in a badly
fractured right leg. The accident
occurred about . o'clock.
DR.. T.. r. Schunk was called and a
car was sem for the injured man.
and he was brought back to Sheridan.

night. After the injured leg vas set

fracture. as 1t is feared the knee cap
may have been split.
Mr.. Walker had Just recovered from
the final effects of an accident at
Roundup. Montana which resulted In
broken ribs, breast bone and shoulder
blade. That was on June 3, when a
car in which he and others was riding
was overturned. 1t has not been
more than a week. Mr.. Walker said

The Farmers Compensation

'Onc rrrat ole with our agriculture is the
intense and often aggressive individualism of the
American farmer. That is part of our heritage as
Americans, and it is more cherished by our farm
Now this spirit of individualism is n fine thing
in itself. 1t is n part of the peculiar genius of the
American people. But it has always stood in the
farmers way when he has tried to do anything
for his own industry along lines of cooperative eff
fort; it stands in the way of anybody who tries to
help agriculture"
These are the words of Alexander Legge of the
international Harvester company, at a recent
wheat conference held in Chicago and attended by
Ingrlculturaltsts from all sections of the country.
The compensation of the farmer is, due to recon.
|struction and readjustment of the affairs of the
country following the war, hopelessly out of line
with the compensation received by the men in vir-
|tually every other occupation, and as Mr.. Legge
declared:
"1f il is true that no nation can endure half slave
land half free, then it must be equally true that no
Ination can long endure where nearly one.third of
its toilers, the Understanding third. are miserably
underpaid."
when it is realized that it takes the gross pro.
Iceeds of an acre of wheat in North Dakota to
|equal the daily compensation of a man engaged in
|the building trades in our larger cities at the pres.
TENT time, II is easy to understand that the farmer is
BIN a pitiablc position when he comes TO purchase
|thc goods produced by the higher paid men of other
Industries. We cannot hope to have n high level of
Iwages for labor and at the same time to have a
Pow price for the commodities which that labor
produces. for the plain reason that fully 50 per
gent OF the Wholesale price of manufactured articles
generally speaking, is paid to somebody as com.
pensation for labor entering into the cost of pro
1uctioli. rms percentage may strike you ms high.
but in reality it is "A conservative estimate. based
IN exhaustive studies made i'm many lines of pro
iuction- The wide discrepancy between this figure

A Bear Story

CODY-Can you bea II? Riding a
bucking bear with n Cadillac car for
a saddle is the newest tale to come
out of Yellowstone park. The bear
won for 1t bucked the car off the road
and carried 1t down a gully sixty feet
where 1t found release and hotfooted
1t for the woods.
Holdup pears in natures wonderland
are common sights. The mother bear
walks across the road in front of the
car and stands up, refusing to give
the right of way until some tidbit
is thrown from the car for its dinner.
But 1t remained for q New York
party to get a thriller last week When
they didn't slow vi enough and ran
right over bruin, pinning her under
the car. Giving a roar worse than
Earl Pully's big bass horn the animal
raised up and started off the road
carrying the car. The screaming and
yelling of the New Workers. attract
ed attention of other parties who
had come up n the passengers
were hastily transferred. Mrs.
Bear made haste slow but surely and
took the car down an incline to a
gully which gave her clearance and
she got away, leaving the front wheels
on one side of the ditch and the hind
wheels on the other.
The car was uninjured. No one
took the trouble to examine the bear
to see II IL was hurt.

A Safe Adviser

Don't worry about Frank W. Stearns of Boston,
who is in Washington on a brief visit to his very
close friend Calvin Coolidge. Mr.. Stearns is not
a politician, neither does he want any public office
for himself or for friends. He is simply a shrcwd
and successful business man, a believer in and
devoted friend and hacker of Mr.. Coolidge. A man
whose advice is to be trusted whether in politics
or the great business of conducting the United
States.
we are certain that any disinterested advice the
Boston merchant would offer to a lifelong friend
would be sounder than that a%ttempted to be en-
forced by self-seeking members of political fac.
tions.
MT. Stearns is just as level-headed in private and
public matters and Just as firm for the right as
Mr.. Coolidge, so there is no cause for disturbance
in any of the political roosts, if these two old
friends talk over the good of the union with a view
of keeping conditions good.

No War at Hand

1t is refreshing if nothing else to have DR.. Mich
olas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, return
home from Europe and tell us that there is about as
much chance of another war breaking in Europe
AS there is on Fifth avenue in his home town.
This is cheering, for we have had but lately n
flock of returning American statesmen bringing
tidings of direful eventualties on the other side.
The doctor does not say so but ordinary obser.
alton teaches that if the economic condition of
Europe is as represented by most of the countries
themselves, none of them are in position to buy
wadding for a shot gun, let alone financing a war
of any kind.
Why is it that most folks, and especially public
folks like statesmen, must spread a lot of bull
oil their return from a trip from home. 1t is be
cause they want to impress those who have not
made a hurried trip abroad, that they have learned
something new, something that has escaped the OBJ
servation of everybody else?
Doctor Butler must be right, and the alarmists
wrong. The doctor is not required to stir up voting
constituencies for reelection and is more likely to
see clearer than the others.
However, and in any event, we are all justified
in pursuing the even tenor of our way until the
war 'busts loose"

Wives Will Smile

Charged with the illegal possession and sale of
liquor, a Philadelphia woman entered no denial of
the crimes imputed, but made what turned out to
have been a sufficient plea that-she had a hus-
band. She did not claim the husband had done
the selling and possessing-she simply cited an
"ancient law and demanded the assumption under
it that, as her transgression was with the hus-
bands knowledge and consent, he must have exer-
cised over her a coercion which she could not re-
sist.
That there is or was such a law is undeniable
Not many months ago in England it saved from n

less aristocratic husband in s~windling out of con-

ing friends. Here in the United States, however,
in practice there is little coercion of wives by hus.
hands, and to bring up this old rule would seem
an absurdity anywhere except in court.
Amiable feminists of the country will be espe-
cially %scornful of the Philadelphia woman's pro
cedure, and there will be nothing uncertain about
the things they will say of her.
And the husband of the bootleggeress? Could
he not have cited some even more ancient law to
the effect that when a woman will she will, and
that's the end ont?

Free and Impartial

The relations between Great Britain and Franco
are becoming more and more strained in conse-
quence of the French policy toward German repair
atoms and collateral questions arising therefrom.
The two powers are far from being in accord and
no one knows what may develop out of the pres.
ent situation. The position of this country can
readily be imagined were it a member of the league
of nations and forced to take a stand on she dit.
ficulties that keep those two governments apart.
Thanks to our fundamental doctrine of non.en.
tanglement, we are free to maintain relations of
the friendiiest character with both the English and
the French.
In this we are holding true to our traditions and
policies given to us by Washington and approved
by every patriotic president since his day.

The Mississippi Project

AS required by the federal water power act,
Henry Ford has filed with the power commission
detailed plans for the development of his Mississ,
ippi river project between Minneapolis and st.
Paul. There is every reason to believe his applica.

development at that point that will bring profits
TO the communities. and to all concerned. If he
had complied with the power act in his efforts to
acquire the Muscle Shoals, instead of seeking spe.
cial favors from congress, he might be in pos
session of that great project at the present time.
