' The war revives interest in two old acts that of June 16, 1898, which provided that the service of a home stead settler in the army, navy, or marine corps during the existing war with Spain, "or during any other war in which tho United States (might) be engaged," should be equivalent to residence upon the land claimed, and cultivation thereon, for the same length of time, and that his entry should be protected against contest during the period of his service; and that of section 2300, Revised Statutes, which provides that a person who has served not less than 14 days in the United States army or navy during the existence of an actual war may make homestead entry, though he has not reached tho age of 21. to the sheriff Tuesday afternoon. The dynamite was near the plant, and with it was 80 feet of fuse and a box of caps. Among the sticks was found an I. W. W. card and a local hotel adver tising card. Further than these no clew was left. Sheriff Anderson destroyed the ex plosive and retained the other articles.

WHY INDIVIDUALISM IS AS DEAD AS A SMELT : By George W. Perkins. "Individualism" is as dead as a Kmelt. That is my contention. In this country we hare been living in an age of the utmost freedom to the individual. It lias been the individual istic period. In the early days, when instantaneous intercommunication did not exist, when education was meagre and science un developed, what the individual did was of comparatively small consequence, for his deeds did not reach very fur and did not affect many people. With Intercommunication drawing; the world toicetiier in one centralized community, the act of the Individual can affect a large number of pcrnonai therefore, that farm of freedom which la almply another expression far li cense to do aa one pleasea can no longer exist. Society is finding It necessary to take away much of what has hitherto been called "freedom of the Individual." In my judgment this process is only In its Infancy. Until, recent years little broad think ing was given to this problem and dif ferences were settled on tho basis of "might makes right" All this is rap idly changing and wo are entering a period of now industrial relationships. In my JudKincnt vie are juat now entering a period of eopartnerahlp, where the tool user will be part tool owner and where enpitnl and labor will ahare more equitably la the profit of the baalncaa In which they are Jointly encased. This advance is Inevitable because of our educational system, which teaches the workingman to think for himself. It la Inevitable because atrlkea and lockouts can never be aettled aatlafac torliy or permanently by merely rata Ins a man's nun, No mere Increase in wages can ever satisfactorily solve this problem. It can be solved only on the basis of profit sharing. By profit sliarlng I do not mean bonus giving. Profit sharing can be done satisfacto rily only when the business concern makes aMlc its transactions, ho that the la borer and the stockholder can know as much about the business as does the manager himself. In the adjustment of dlfflcultlea be tween eapltal and labor I am confi dent tbat open hooka will accomplish much more than open ahopa. About the only goal we have hod has been the almighty dollar. The first qnestlon asked when a man dies is, "How much was he worth?" with scarcely a thought as to how much ho did for his community or his country. But what Iioh it all amounted to? On tbe whole, the InfllvlduallNtle aae haa not bten a aucceaa. cither for the Individual or the community In which he haa lived, or the nation. We are. beyond question, entering on a period where the welfare of tho com munity tnlirs precedence over the inter ests of the individual and whore the lib erty of the individual will be more nnd more circumscribed for the benefit of tho community us a whole. Our only decoration the almighty dollar is receding Into the background. The man of exceptional ability, of more than ordinary talent, will here after look for his rewards, for his hon ors, not in one direction but In two: First and foremost In some public work accoinpliahcd nnd, secondarily, In wealth acquired. One reason why I am strongly for universal military training is that it develops in the youth n sense of all around r'nmnsibility to his country, not only In time of war but in time of peace. In rernt years we have been hearing I a great deal about government owncr ' hlu of our railrondH. Government ownership of railroads may be as desirable in this country as it is In tiennnny, but we must first have public servants who will at least come somewhere near the standard of Ger many's public servants in efficiency and honesty. Centralization is the order of tho day. Tho telegraph, tho tclephoue. the auto mobile und the airship are the causes. They have wiped out not only old prece dents and customs, but State and na tional lines as well. A man living in Itoston who wishes to talk to a nmu living In Sun Fran cisco simply rings a bell, puts a little instrument to his ear and proceeds to talk. There Is hardly a miracle In the Bible more wonderful than this. The doctrine of "State rights" Is be ing rapidly demolished. Tho State, viewed as an individual with the right to do as it please within itself, without regard for other States, can no longer be tolerated.. We must therefore take on a new na tlonallsm. The mighty changes taking place in Europe tell us with unmistakable voice that the reconstruction period is at hand. The ninu of the future must realize it. lie must not look back to tho setting but forward to the rising sun.
