GIVE PEACE A TRIAL.
(St. Louis Post Dispatch

DEACE has never yet had trial War
has been with us always. The intervals
of peace have been periods of preparing for
the next war The terrifying experience
Of the last war has convinced peoples every
where that another such war will mean de-
struction in dimensions undreamed Of and
death in the term of approximate extermi-
nation Nevertheless the great nations,
through their governments, are frantically
preparing for that next war. Mr.. Lloyd
George has described Europe as fan armed
camp" with military establishments that
eclipse the forces of pre-war times. The
peoples Of the world are paying an annual
bill Of $5O00,0O0,0O0 in getting ready for
the next war which, experts are agreed, will
be the end of this civilization.
If the billions expended yearly in war
could be turned into productive channels,
the poverty and restitution of the world
would quickly be relieved. The millions of
men out of employment would presently be
at work, bare cupboards would be filled, I'M
derfed children would have enough to eat
and happiness would reappear in homes Of
of every land now darkened with dispair 1t
might be that in such circumstances *Ie
arts would get drowsy and science nod in
is laboratories and inventive genius turn
off its alarm clock. But peoples every
where are quite willing to take chance on
an intellectual let-down Culture is a
pretty poor substitute for bread when folks
are hungry as they are today The peoples
Of the world are more than ready to ex-
change the sardonic BLESSINGS Of war; for
the substance of peace. And if their gov
ernments fail them the failure will be tragic

WHEN VICTORY SLIPPED
FROM WESTINGHOUSE GRASP

In the early morning fog of October
a, 1777, George Washington, with char
acteristic vigor and decision, attacked
the British troops at Germantown,
Pennsylvania The Americans, sup
posedly dispirited by their recent defeat
at Brandywine, Howe considered in
capable of so bold stroke.
But General Washington made a
night march in order to surprise the
enemy He believed he had succeeded
/ and wrote Congress to that effect but
evidence later obtained from British
records makes the complete surprise
theory somewhat doubtful
At any rate, the Americans at first
seemed headed. toward complete vic
tory Washington and his officers be-
lieved the day won, when suddenly the
Continentals and accompanying militia
were thrown into unexpected confusion.
Instead of following up the advantage
gained at first, Washington saw his
men hastily retreat
This battle was one of the half dozen
or so of the Revolutionary conflicts in
which General Washington commanded
in person Unfortunately he was denied
victory by circumstances over which he
had no control. Despite his repulse.
however, the great American leader had
acted on the offensive and had given
Howe sufficient reason to fear for his
safety. He once more, as at Trenton
and Princeton, showed himself to be .
dangerous adversary, able to strike
quickly and with telling effect
On October S, Washington wrote to
the President of Congress an account
of the battle. The attack was deter
mined upon, Washington said, after it
was learned that Howe had weakened
the post by sending some of his troops
to the Delaware. 1t was arranged to
attack Germantown on all sides at once,
and the morning of October was fixed
as the time.
I'VE marched about seven o'clock the
preceding evening" wrote Washington,
and General Sulhvan's advanced
party, drawn from Conway's brigade
attacked their picket at Mount Airy
or Mr. Aliens house, about sunrise the
next morning, which presently gave

THE PLAN MAY NOT BE LOGICAL
BUT IT HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES.

r HE possibility that county officials and
perhaps school teachers may be asked
to contribute days wages per month fol-
a period of six months for the relief of the
needy III Montana is arousing considerable
discussion. It will be remembered the
Western News recently had news item
stating that state officials were each pledg-
ing such donation and that probably the
same thing would be asked of county Off
cials and school teachers.
It may be good plan an easy and a
visible plan for the raising Of a considerable
sum of money But we cannot exactly see
the reasonableness of it.
We presume that state and county Off
cials and school teachers give full service
in return for the salaries paid them In other
words, they are worth their wages, and It
they are not earning their wages, then their
stipend should be reduced. If then, they
are earning their salaries, why pick on them
for donations Why shouldn't every other
person drawing a stated salary be likewise
called upon for a similar donation? Just
because a person is employed by the state.
county or school district is no logical reason
why he should be required to donate any
more than others who are on salaries.
However, perhaps we are speaking out
of turn. A large sum Of money for relief
purposes in Montana must be provided this
winter If these public officials and school
teachers are generous enough to give Out
Of their salaries for that noble purpose, that
surely is their concern, whether or not it is
logical to ask them to do SO. Already one

Whenit IS necessary to raise large sums for
the needy, we suppose that one must not

way; and his main body, consisting of
the right wing, following soon. en-
gagged the light infantry and other
troops encamped near the picket, which
they forced from their ground. Leav-
ing their baggage, they retreated a con-
siderable distance, having previously
thrown party into Mr.. Chew's house,
who were in situation not to be easily
forced and had it in their power, from
the windows, to give US no small an
noyance, and in great measure to
obstruct our advance"
The delay occasioned by the attempt
to take this garrison operated, together
with the foggy darkness, to confuse the
Americans. The firing at this place led
the troops who had passed it to believe
a change in situation had occurred, and
the retreat began.
THE morning wa extremely foggy."
continued Washington's letter, which
prevented our improving the advan-
tages we gained, SO we'll as we should
otherwise have done. This circumstance
by concealing from us the true situa-
ton of the enemy, obliged us to act
with more caution and less expedition
than we could have wished; and gave
the enemy time to recover from the
effects of our first impression; and,
what was still more unfortunate, it
served to keep our different parties
in ignorance of each others move
ments and hinder their acting in Con-
cert II also occasioned them to mis-
take one another for the enemy, which
! believe more than any thing else
contributed to the misfortune that en-
sued In the midst Of the most promis-
ing appearances, when everything
gave the most flattering hopes of vic
tory, the troops began suddenly to
retreat and entirely left the field, in
spite of every effort that could be made
to rally them.
General Knox wrote that Washing
ton, unmindful Of danger to himself,
rode into the storm of bullets in an
effort to rally the fleeing Americans.
No one felt the sting of this disap-
pointing defeat as did the Commander
in-Chief.

EMPLOYMENT AND NOT A DOLE is
WHAT is WANTED.

THE other day prominent u. 5. con-
! gresham made the statement that many
people seem to have a fear of the word,
"dole." He wondered why they should. He
said people out of work and in need ought
to be helped by the government whether
or not that help comes in the form Of a dole.
The congressman is to be commended for
his regard for suffering humanity but we
can not say as much for his logic or iudo-
nent.
There are few who will deny that those
in want must be taken care Of 1t is I'M
thinkable that anyone III this great and rich
country should go hungry or cold. Appar-
emily mankind has not been able as yet to
devise All economic system that will pre-
vent depressions AT such times, thousands
of men must face unemployment and many
of them may need help When such times
arise it becomes the duty Of government and
those possessing wealth to see that the
needy are amply taken care Of.
1t is expected that there will be great
demand on the forces of charity this win
ter. Organizations are already being per-
fected to take care Of this need This news
paper is III receipt Of letters from the relief
organizations Of the national government
asking information that plans may be made
to take care of every need during the winter
lit is hopeful and encouraging to believe
that these plans will meet with great sue
cess and that during the greatest depression
this nation has ever faced there will be no
one hungry or cold during this approaching
winter That is mighty fine work and
should be heartily commended.
Undoubtedly much of this aid will have
! to be given outright to ones in need. To
that extent it becomes dole The danger.
however, lies not in helping those in need
during certain depression period but in
adopting a policy that will result in dole
or free gift of money or it's equivalent being
given to people as a regular and settled
thing. To adopt such policy would be dis
astrous In the extreme. Such a practice
creates class of pauper-minded people

all crafts in the building trades were work

Perhaps we are witnessing an evolution
with respect to labor III industry to which
we have long become accustomed III agri-
culture. One hundred years ago, $50 of the
population Of the United States was en-
gagged III farming, for the reason that with
the methods then III vogue it took So people
on the farm to support Is in the cities. At
the present time the rural population is less
than $50 of the total, for the very simple
reason that one man on the farm with to-
days power and machinery can produce as
much as a score Of men and women could
produce century ago. If we have come
to the time now in industry where men
working eight hours a day and five days in
week can produce all we can use ourselves
and all we can sell abroad, who shall say that
it is anything more than natural, newt
able and desirable evolution, relieving men
of drudgery and giving them leisure to build
a broader and happier life2

THE LOGIC OF SHORT HOURS.

MEN who are not yet old can easily recall
w when days work began at daylight
and ended at dark There was logic behind
the long day because the work was done
with hand tools and with few power ma
chimes A long day was necessary, there
fore, III order that production might be
made to meet requirements. Time came
when the day of thirteen or fourteen hours
was reduced to twelve hours because few
labor saving machines had been devised.
Still later came the reduction from twelve
hours to ten hours, and it was considered
that long, long step had been taken in the
emancipation of labor when the eight hour
day became the rule in all public work and
IN all private or corporate industries. In
spite of the apprehension Of many who re
SISTED this last cut in the hours Of the days.
labor, it was found that production could
easily keep pace with consumption. The diff
ferences between the fourteen and the eight
hour day have been fully compensated by
the utilization of power machines and the
invention Of labor saving tools and nipple
ments. But the perfection Of labor saving
machines and the extension of the use Of
power, through electric current, internal
combustion engines, and the like, did not
halt with the introduction of the eight hour
day 1t went right on with the result that
men were able to produce as much in
eight hours as they had previously done in
ten as they had formerly done in twelve,
and as in the old days they had done in four
teen hours.
The question now has arisen whether
we have not come to the point where all our
needs Of production, at least in many lines
of industry cannot be met by an eight hour
day and a five day week There are many
who answer that question in the affirma-
tive and they certainly have logic and the
lesson of the past to support their conten-
ton. Indeed there are many evidences OF
a growing sentiment in favor of the five day
week as permanent labor policy. This is
evidenced in survey just completed by the
Department of Labor which shows that
there are now 673 establishments employing
approximately 100000 persons which are on
the permanent five day week basis. The
automobile industry apparently is taking
the lead in this movement as it reports 44Ro
of it's workers already on the short week
basis This is followed by the radio indus
try, the dyeing and finishing textiles in
dllstry, and the aircraft industry. Tho
movement is extending rapidly in the build
ing trades, the Bureau of Labor Statistic1
reporting that in June, 1881 five dav
week was in existence in 100 cities and
towns for one or more of the crafts in the
building work, and in A cities and towns
