The six o'clock dinner and dance
given by Painters, Decorators and
Paparhangers Local No. 356 at the

was one of the most enjoyable and
successful affairs which has occurred
in Union circles for many years.
This was the third of the annual
dinners given by this flourishing and
progressive Union, and the presence
of the wives and children of the
members was a most welcome feature
Dmner was served on tho mezonine
floor, and to say that the table groan-
ed with every good thing imaginable
is literal fact. At its conclusion,
E. A. Barber, acting as POSTMASTER,
in his pleasing manner introduced
Mayor Orr, Victor Walk, Gottlieb
Zinn, Rev. Geo. Bohon Schmitt and
the Leader representative, who re-
sponded with appropriate remarks

floor, where Rosebraugh's Orchestra
rendered an incompatible dance pro-
gram until late hour.

MACHINISTS AUXILIARY

Ladies Auxiliary No. 178 to l. A.
of M. met in regular session on Mon
day evening, but owing to the in
clemency of the weather the attend
ance was not as large as usual, but
those present were full of enthusiasm
A letter was read from the Grand
President, telling of the awful condi-
tions of the western strikes. She
called especial notice to COLONY of
sixty mon and women and thirty chill
dren who have been elected from
their homes and are living in tents
in the snow at Soldiers Summit, Utah.
The ladies unanimously agreed to do
some hustling to raise a fund to help
these brave people. Is it not dread
full that such conditions can exist in
the United States? How long must
greed triumph over right?
The president gave an interesting
account of the Trades and Labor AS
sembly meeting, which she, as del
egate, had attended, and much pleas
ure was expressed over the purchase
of ~iano by that body. The ladies
decided to help pay for the same.
The Auxiliary is loking forward to

Something More Than Bug
Poison Is Needed

THE estimate of loss of seven hundred
and fifty millions of dollars to the
south this year, by reason of drouth
and the boil weevil, is startling; but, as in
the case of most disasters is not as bad as
will at first sappear. 1t should not be for
gotten that, if the cotton this repre-
sents were in the warehouse, or even reason
ably assured, the cotton price would be far
below what it now is 1t is well enough
for the president of the New York Cotton
Exchange to urge the allied interests to pro-
vide more funds to fight the weevil; it is
| fight that must go on; the evil is not of
kind that stands still. A year of neglect
may easily cut production fifty per cent; and
the more extensive it becomes, the greater,
the more expensive, the problem.
But the redemption of the southern farm
er lies more in an increase of price than in
the volume of cotton. We can stand great
deal of weevil loss and spend a great deal of
money on insect poison, with cotton at forty
cents. The thing that hurts today more
| than the weevil is the condition of the for
| eign market which highly unfavorable to
| the American exporter of cotton. Could a
| basis of exchange I'D payment be found, the
| mills of France, Germany and Russia would
wipe out the cotton surplus, almost over
J NIT; but America sits back with the
worlds gold in her treasury, and the worlds
| cotton in her warehouses; and fields, waiting
| for her old customers whose currency yester-
| day is worth less than it was the day be-
fore, and will be worth less tomorrow than it
is today, to invent way to pay for something
| with nothing In the meantime the foreign
| consumer of cotton fabrics finds his chief
consolation in the size of his laundry bill.
Some American exports are heavy, and
show gratifying increase If safe basis for
why not in cotton? Is there a combination
| anywhere against the foreign mill? Pres-
| dent Barrett, c" the Cotton Exchange, is in
the heart of the financial district of America.
| The whole of America needs the revenue the
south derives from her main CO; she is the
customer of every producer and manufacture
! er Why limit the search for remedies to
/ the field when the market suffers? Why
open choked springs and dam the stream, if
| the water power cannot be sold?
The best help that can be given to the
South today and to dealers who sell the
South, is to empty her warehouses into for
| eign bottoms. With empty warehouses on the
| first of every August, it is conceivable that
gentle shower of weevils, now and then, may
| be endured by the South with resignation.
| But with weevils keeping her fields empty,
and 2x4 fnancie~~ 1eeping her warehouses
| full, her nerves naturally suffer-the pocket
NERVE more than any.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP
By DR.. Frank Crane

The captain of an ocean liner is one of the
most striking figures of this day.
He represents a curious combination; he
is business man, for he must look after
many interests purely commercial: he is a
mathematician for he must know the ele-
ments of navigation; he must be bookkeeper
enough to keep his accounts straight; he is
the companys hired man, he must be jack
of all trades enough to do what every man
under him can do; and he is required to be
a well-dressed gentleman.
Perhaps no other position in the world
puts upon man such load of personal re-
sponsibility. Whatever happens to that ship
board that ship it is directly upon the
captain that the responsibility is saddled He
stands alone between his cargo and vessel,
property worth often millions of dollars, and
destruction; between great cityful of hui
man beings and death.
While his ship is afoat at sea he is the
greatest autocrat in the world. No sultan
king or jailer is vested with so much au-
thority. He has absolute control over every
thing and everybody on the ship. He can
imprison any one of the passengers or crew.
In certain exigences he can take life. Ev
more appalling than that, he can, in certain
circumstances, perform the marriage cere-
mOny. .
Of course he must answer for all his deeds
to the proper authorities when he reaches
the shore But while the ship is afoat he is
distinctly 1t. Nothing liter is known.
Corresponding to these powers he has GER
tain exacting duties.
If the ship is wrecked and goes down, he
is supposed to be the last man that deserts
her.
During a fog he must be on the BRIDGE so
that you may know, when you hear that fog
horn blowing, that the master of the vessel
Is up there tending strictly to business. On
one occasion | came from Havre to New
York City on a French liner and there was
fog all the way; the captain never left the
bridge once
He must keep a log. or book of record,
in which he must set down everything that
happens on board ship that may be of inter-
est to the company or the government IL
he fails to do this he is severely fined.
The captain of Pacific liner told me that
he could make mistakes enough, as total
possibility on one voyage from Vancouver
TO Yokohama and return for which he could
be fined SAC, 900 - =

VOLCANOES MINOR ACTORS

PASADENA Cal.-The violent activity re-
ported in news dispatches as accompanying
the Japanese earthquake must be considered
secondary to the great "tectonic" or struc-
tural disturbance in the earth's crust that
has taken place, DR.. H o. Wood, in charge
of the California seismologic Investigations
of the Carnegie Institution said here today
in response to an inquiry from Science Serv-
ice.
He declared that there is no knowledge re-
garding the relation of this disturbance to
other regions.
'No scientific investigation of the disaster
is contemplated by American scientists, he
said "since the Japanese imperial earth
quake investigation committee is splendidly
equipped and thoroughly competent to study
the occurrence and make full report"
