OPERATION OF CAPITAL

Editor, The Times: As far as
can see, nothing constructive
has been accomplished toward
solving our economic plight, but
many more barriers have been
constructed to prevent freer
distribution OF goods and serv-
ices.
We hear many denounce in

ment, and depressions. thereby
destroying the volume OF ousl-
ness.
If the total money savings Of
the people accumulate faster
than is necessary for financing
the construction OF new factories
or business expansion. 1t can not
circulate. II is this that has
caused our present trouble. Can
any economist deny this.
No doubt the greatest part Of
the savings are derived from in

all business should put their

products on the market at as
low a price as possible TO the
consumer with the object of Gre
ating a greater sales volume of
goods and services in the nation.
When more goods are sold it
will require more people to
manufacture and distribute the
goods. These extra employees
will then buy more goods which
will help to put more people to
work. If this policy could be
put into effect and prices held
down as volume increases it
would only be a matter of time
until every able bodied man
would find work. Business would
increase in volume like the ma
tional debt of last year. Volume
would increase as compound in
terest.
This increase in volume is i'm
possible with the present policy
of arbitrary fixed prices Of
goods. services, and wages. Why
construct barriers? When the
sales volume is increased the
idle capital will venture into
business, and not until this is
accomplished. l am trying to

LABOR TURNS ON
NEW DEAL HEADS

Editor The Times: Not much
is published from the labor
front in Minnesota. In the July
81 Minneapolis Labor Review,
official AFL organ, read of
thousands crowding the auditori-
UNI and packed outside Ito pay
reverent tribute to Emil August
Bergstrom, striking WPA work.
Ell, slain by the police" in an
attack on a WPA picket line, in
which federal agents joined.
Responsibility of Bergstrom's
killing, and the injury and shoot
ing of "a others. was laid at the
door of the WPA administra-
ton, national. state and local;
Colonel Harrington; the FBI and
the local police, in a sharply
worded resolution adopted by
meeting Of all union officials,
CLIO and AFL.
On July Is, the Minnesota
Union Advocate, ALL, hitherto
a pro-Roosevelt paper, stated
editorially.
Now labor knows that
the president is definitely aligned
against labor. II was his
wish and his will that prompt
ed congress to completely re-
verse the administrations labor
policy. From now on labor
can look for few crumbs under
the table of the New Deal"
The president has no law to
back his assertion that workers
cannot strike against the gov
eminent. The three countries in
which this condition exists are
Russia, Germany and Italy, and
il will take more than politicians,
New Deal or Old Deal, to add
this country to the number.

As the long string Of wagons

the fear that they would be at

Travelled 100 miles they began
to pass some of those who
jeered as they passed the
Meeker camp. A little later
they found by the roadside
piles of supplies that had been
discarded to tighten the loads
and enable faster travel. Even
wagons were abandoned To
double the teams on others
and on toward the promised
land.
The Meeker party continued
slowly but steadily. Time taken
to give the cattle an occasional
day for rest was made up and
by the time the train reached
the pass in the Rocky mountains
The Meeker party was far ahead
of those who had hurried.

BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

Col. K. K. Bradley, know.
throughout the world as a breed
er of the type of horses that win
the Kentucky derby, was not
alwaye a successful man. He
started from scratch" himself,
being born into a poor family.
He dug coal, worked in steel
mills, went west and mined gold,
and secuted Apache Indians for
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. Little OF
that part of his life has been
printed. One day reporter
sought to get story on those
early years. "Aw," said the COLI
onel, that's water over the dam.

something with future"

ties, consisting of a handful OF
dried beans, the same amount OF

last for one whole month! He
was CURLY advised that this was
all he could get, because ne had

ployanle. How in heavens name
can a human being sustain life
for one whole month on such
an amount?
We often hear il said that no

WEDNESDAY,, AUG. Z. 1899


Good luck should attend many
persons through this day which
brings stimulating influences to
the early morning hours. II Is
well to seek the counsel Of older
persons before starting impor-
tant work.
There Ia to be renewed re-
spect for persons Of experience.
Statesmen long in public service
will be often consulted, though
their advice too seldom followed.
There Is q sign of promise for
launching small business prof.
ects, though under this rule Of
the stars judgment may be I'M
reliable.
Emphasis Is placed upon the
Importance Of thrift though
there win be large expenditures
In recreation and travel, despite
warnings OF future needs.
Evil portents are seen for
Cuba where there may be grave
political upheavals or even revo-
lutionary movements of serious
potentislities. The United States
may be called upon to protect
national interests.
Women will benefit most by
enjoying vacation amusements.
This Is not an suspicious time to
engage in public affairs. Never
theless, peace advocates should
not relax effort.
The summer Is likely to wans
with many heartaches. Young
men are subject to portents in
ducing caution and avoidance OF
responsibility.
Persons whose birthday It Is
have the augury Of year that
will be successful and progress
sive. There may be provocation
to resent imposition.
Children born on this day
probably will be sanguine, orig
inal and energetic. Many may

Death The Penalty for
Treil Murder
Hanged on Wagon Tongue
Gsllows
Crowd Jeers As Meeker
Camp Is Passed
He Laughs Last and
Arrives First
MENTION yesterday Of the
Afl mass defiance Of the sheriff
AT the Missouri river crossing on
the trail to Puget Sound, might
be interpreted to give credence
to the theory that on the long
Journey through the wilderness
every man was law unto him.
self. That was not true. One
incident related by Ezra Meeker
and others is a striking example
of the stern, law abiding senti-
ment of most Of the host of
several hundred thousand who
travelled with the wagon trains.
About a mont tn after the
wagons crossed the Missouri
river the camp was thrown into
CONSERVATION by the discovery
that during the night a murder
had been committed. II was so
obvious that the murderer was
a member of the party that
committee of IL was chosen to
investigate the case.
Robbery evidently had been
the motive and suspicion was
directed to an unpopular MEM
Der of the party whose own
family seemed TO he In fear
Of him. Working quietly the
committee finally discovered
conclusive evidence Of his
guilt and decreed that he
should pay with his own life.
The guilty man was taken
into custody and then and there
came a division of sentiment in
the train. II the murderer were
to pay with his own life, what
would become of his wife and
four small children? Would
not the ends of justice be best
served by permitting him to con-
tinue on with his family and
turn the evidence over to the
authorities at the end OF the
trail ? The committee refused
to listen to any such proposal.
A collection taken in camp pro-
vided for the temporal needs of
the family. A single man agreed
to drive and care for the team.
The next morning a gallows
was made with three wagon
tongues set up as tripod in
the center of the camp. With
out a word being spoken the
prisoner was brought In by
the twelve men and hanged In
view of the entire camp.
When the train started there
was a new grave by the trail
side and new driver on the
seat of the murderer's wagon.
Through his kind and sympa-
thetic attitude toward the fam
lily a relation was established
that ended in marriage and they
lived happily ever after, At
least that is one of the stories
told about the affair There is
no reason why 1t should not be
true.
After defying the sheriff and
crossing the Missouri river, the
Meeker party travelled for sew
eral hours until they came to a
fine pasture and a good water
