The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantl-,
sometimes recklessly. -.

President Coolidge said, as he sign
ed the new railroad labor act that it
was a method of f-government
within industry" which is entirely
correct and which leads to cogita-
ton.
elf-government within industry is
either coming, or it is not. If it is
coming, then labor must be the pio-
neer influence in its development.
Labor laid down, in the Portland
convention, a philosophy of self-gov-
ernment which was one of the great
est documents ever written by labor
anywhere-and labor says very little
about it. Having spoken, it largely
remains silent.
The railroad labor act, just signed
By the president, is possible only be-
cause railroad labor is organized
Manifestly there can be no democracy
without organization of some kind
so in industry.
So the place to introduce demo
cratic practices in industry is where
unions are strong and well disciplined
That is why union labor has not only
an opportunity, but duty and a
responsibility to pioneer the way, to
put urge and drive into the move
ment.
Every once in while trade union
lists ought to get out the proceedings
of the Portland convention and read
that stirring document called "In-
dustry's Manifest Duty" 1t is the
sort of thing that only statesmen pro-
duce and that only history reveals as
great
Just about the time the railroad
labor act was being signed, the fed
eral trade commission issued report
showing the volume and concentration
of wealth in America
Briefly, wealth is getting into the
hands of fewer corporations, but these
corporations have more and more
stockholders.
In the light of the Portland decla
ration for industrial democracy, this
federal trade commission report i:
of doubly i'm portance
With wealth, meaning machinery
tools, raw materials and finished
goods, as we'll as mines and forest.
and water power, coming under own
ership of fewer corporations, we ar,
going to have a more and more con
centrated autocracy, unless there i
some nter-balancing democratic
practice to offset the corporate own
ership.

Celtic History

Celtic-speaking peoples occupied a
very wide territory of old, spreading
from central Europe, where the first
records of them exist, far to the west,
southwest and even southeast. They
settled in Gaul perhaps about 1000 B..
c., and were probably at the height
Of their power about 400 B. G. Later
they were under constant pressure
from the Germanic tribes to the north,
and saw most of their territories con-
quered by the Romans, from the
south They maintained their inde-
pendence in the British isles, though,
for centuries.

DO WE EAT VENEREAI.
FROM ALASKA?

WASHINGTON - (FP)-Basil NJ.
Manly in the current issue of The
Peoples Business, digs up again the
story of judicial rottenness in Alaska
as disclosed in the hearings last win
ter on the denomination of federal
judges Reid and Ritchie and Dist.
Atty. Shoup. These names were with
drawn by Pres. Coolidge when the
senate judiciary committee refused to
approve them. The salmon packing
trust is the big financial interest to
which these officials cater, and Coo
hdge still keeps them in power, de
spite the fact that they were con
demned last spring.
MethOdists Rap Horrors
Methodist clergy and social workers

their central board in Washington,
but of all the reports coming to Clar-
ence True Wilson general secretary
of the Methodist board, he testified
before the senate committee, none
compare in horror with the reports
OF vice in Alaska. Not even in China
or Africa, he testified, are conditions
so bad as there.
VeneYeal disease is unchecked, and
the local grand jury at Valdez de-
clared that this condition gravely
menaces the food supply handled By
the men. Drug addicts and drug
peddlers are reported by the grand
jury to "find their way to the can
neries and the fishing grounds thru
the cannery help. In many instances
foremen of China crews handle mar
cotics and dispense them"
Wants PrOfiteers Shot.
Rep. Graham of Illinois, repubh-
can, now a federal judge, in a report
on the rotten salmon furnished the
soldiers in 1917-11S, said: 'The can
ners who packed it knowing that it
was intended to be eaten by our sol
diers should have been brought be-
fore firing squad; that would have
been a mild way of dealing with them
But the war department knowing the
fact, did not even ask that they be
prosecuted under the available laws"
This is a fair sample of the deprav-
ity of the Republican party.

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Falling
prices of cotton in the south may help
break the deadlock between Washing
ton and Moscow over American rec
ognition of the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics. After election day
the beginning of negotions for set
tlement of differences between the
two governments may appear, and
senator's from the south may turn up
at the white house with arguments IA
vorable to a prompt agreement. The
cotton growers Of the south want to
market their excess crop, and Russia
wants to buy 100000 more bales.
Experts for the department of agri-
culture have reported that this years
cotton crop viii be 16,647,O 900 bales
while 100000 bales of last years
crop were held over, prices a year
ago averaged about 22c, while today
they are 13c. Cost of production this
year is estimated at about 20c a
pound. Rep. Pou Of North Carolina
has asked President Coolidge to cal
congress in special session to deal
with the situation, declaring that the
farmers viii lose from $50 to S25
per bale on their crop. Coolidge dec.

Yet even if Russia does buy millions
of bales of American cotton in addl-
ton to the amount she can now fl

RAIN RECORDS
IN ROOSEVELT
County Agent Reports More MOis-
ture IN North and West
Sections.

POPLAR. ~ Records compiled by
weather observers in several sections
Of Roosevelt county show some in
teresting comparisons when compared
and studied, says A. W. Warden,
county agent. Records have been re-
ceived from five observers in several
sections of the county and cover the
months from June to October, ne
season when moisture is Of most val
ue to crops.
John Dorgan of the Benrud COM
munnity reports $40 inches Of rain in
June and LAO in July. This is the
greatest amount reported for these
two months by any of the Roosevelt
county stations. August and Septen-
Der reports are lacking.
Earl Coin, who lives north of Pop
lar, reports 2.28 for June; SO for
July; and 2 inches in August, making
a total of SPA for the three months.
Rainfall at Poplar
Howard BOgart of the Fort Peck
agency at Poplar, reports 2.02 in the
month of June; so in July; LAC in
August, and 1.95 in September. This
gives a total of 5.93 inches of precip-
itation for four months.
Andrew Harbo, of Froid, reports
2.30 in June; 20 in July; Las in Aug
ust, and ? inches in September, a to-
tai of $40 for the season.
George Piercy of Bainville meas
ured $40 in June; 12O in July; .49
in August, and 1.03 in September, a
total of 5.S2.
A study of the rainfall records
shows that these stations in the north
and west have received more than
those in the east and southern por-
tiOns O fthe county, says Mr. Warden.
Mr.. DOrgan's report from Benrud is
not complete. However, in the two
months reported they received 4.5O
inches of rainfall, or nearly as much
as Andrew Harbo of F'roid measured
in four months. Earl Coin who is
about Is miles southeast of Dorgan,
reports 5.24 inches in the first three
months recorded In both June and
July his record was slightly less than
Mr.. Dorgan's.
Heavier Rainfall in North
Comparing the Poplar record with
those farther north, less moisture IL
each month is noted, with the total
for four months of 5.93, indicating
that farther north the rainfall has
been heavier
Andrew Harbo reports a total of
DO inches, which is not much less
than others. However, the amount
received in July and August is far
less. This is reflected in the crops
received in the Froid community this
year.
George Piercy, VINO is the farthest
southeast Of any Of the cO-operatOrs,
has a total Of $50 inches. This rain
fall came well distributed over the
summer period. However, it was de-
ficient through August.
Rainfall records made over a period
Of years and supplementing govern
ment weather records are valuable In
planning crops for Roosevelt county
farmers. Cooperative stations viii be
established in other sections another
year. With several years record
available, more definite conclusions
can be drawn.
