The Kansas Plan Kansas has solved its strike troubles by the establishment of a State Industrial Court to which are referred industrial disputes, just as personal and property disputes are referred to trie established courts for settlement. The decision of the Industrial court is binding upon both labor and capital. The court has been in operation over a year and a half. During this period over thirty cases have been brought before it. Of these twenty-eight have been decided. Twenty- seven decisions have been acclaimed by both sides. There has been industrial peace in Kansas. Strikes in the coal fields, which averaged oyer thriteen a month, do not occur at all. Establishment of the court was strenuously opposed by both capittal and labor, and a year after its establishment, it was made an issue before the people, but the latter sustained the court. The legality of its establishment was attacked, but the supreme court upheld its constitutionality. Under the rulings of the Industrial court, production has increased. Fewer miners have produced more coal and received more money for their work, as they are not hamp ered by the union principle of equalizing production for the benefit of the inefficient to necessitate the employment of more men. Underlying causes of industrial disputes are on the one hand, the greed of some employers, who want it all and are not willing to be fair, and still play the part of industrial autocrats ; and on the other, the greed of labor organizations under control of paid leaders who make a business of agita tion and industrial turmoil. As Governor Allen, sponsor of the Kansas Industrial court says : There are about 150,000 men working In the American Feder atlon of Labor as war secretaries. They draw annually from th slender purse of labor about $60,000,000 in salaries. Their jobs depend on a perpetual state of warfare between capital and labor. The average employer of union labor does not get a chance to deal with his employers, individually or collectively. must deal with the walking delegates of the local organiza tion, comprising all in similar trade in the locality, who vastly outnumber his own employes and dictate the policy, or with a secretary of war of the national organization, who is largely responsible for the policy of economic waste imposed upon local organizations. The Kansas plan seems to offer a sensible solution for industrial troubles and will probably be followed in other states, despite the opposition of the czars of industry and organized labor. In most states, the public is the real suf ferer and the public should exercise its rights and stop indus trial warfare, just as it has stopped personal and property warfare. If all states had these industrial courts such scenes as those in West Virginia where the coal operators absolutely control several countries, own the local officials, and with armed forces of private gunmen bar union workmen, and such as those in the California oil fields, where armed union men maintain control and expel all others could not obtain In addition to industrial peace, the social and economic gain would be incalculable and the financial gain run into billions Much of the romance of being postmaster has been shat tered by the recent order of the postmaster general that all postmasters must do at least eight hours work daily. But what can they do? It doesn't take eight hours to draw salary and the work is done by trained assistants. As long as postmasterships are the spoils of politics, just so long will they be sinecures. It has been figured out that the 1925 exposition means a 60 mills tax for Portland in other words six percent on a more or less inflated valuation. In 1905 the Portland tax levy was 14.8 mills. It will be a fine inducement to investors, and will spell confiscation to the property owner. Co u ole Wed In Silverton Sllverton, Or., Sept. 241 A sim ple but pretty wedding was sol emnized at the i nit i'il Brethren parsonage in Philomath Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, when Miss lmogene Shlmmon and Ra mon Roberts were united in mar riage by the Rev. C. Tlbbots. They were attended by the brld'e bro ther, Clarence, and Miss Lois Ral ston of Corvallis. Immediately after the ceremony bountiful wedding dinner was served at the horns of the bride's 1 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aubie Shlm mon. Aft. i the dinner s dance and general good time was enjoyed by about tblrty persons. Among those fro mout of town were Lois Ralston, Corvallis: Nor ma Rice and Flossie Conlbear of Sllverton; Mrs. Ijturence and three children of Butte, Montana, and Theodore Roberts of Mill City. For the present they will res'lde In Mill City and later will build a residence In Washington. New York Stocks New York, Sept. 24.

ALICIA HAMMERSLEY A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON The Noted Writer Bab Is Adamant. I met Bab that night with al most a Judas fsellng. I knew she would have felt hurt had she oi known where l had been during the day, but fortunately she seem ed to have no curiosity about my visit to the city. I wanted to tell her that I knew that her divorce was coming up very soon, but 1 did not know how to do It without explaining that I had seen Duane. Little Hal came running toward me. trying, in nis noyisn way, m tell me the events of the day. And among other things he said: "Aun tie Bab cried and cried." "Why Hal. Where did you see me crying?" "Down by water." "He means at the stone sest near the sea-wall," explained Hannah but had llab looked self-conscious, she did not deny what Hal said. "Oh, I guess I was bored with " Bab stopped abruptly. Are you tired of it here, Bab?" I asked. Ignoring the worn "bored" which 1 knew was taboo ' i'es. Let's go back to the city Do you Intend to stay In New ork this winter, Allx?" "No. I think we had better rent our apartment, and I am going to take Hal home to see his grand father for awhile. After that 1 have no plans." "Oh, I couldn't go home Just now, Allx. I couldn't face mo ther."

I S raised by raisirt hell, and Ttierv&, s& Tabloid Sermons For Busy People by Parson Abie! Haile A Dusyoody in other men's matters." 1 Peter 4-15. Of all the pests in earth, the man or woman whose principal trait is constant intrusion into the affairs of others stands above all. And the natural sequence of such a course is that the defeners almost always suffer most, eventually. When Peter was laboring to get folks of his time started right, he had a real task and all his heirs and assigns In his mission to this day will tell you they Inherited his task, tntaot. The bulk of human misfortune Is caused by the busy bodys. Now, busybodles are not always malicious, by any means; a large proportion are well-meaning and amiable and apart from the blighting habit are fair average citizens. Some have a habit of mis- -iiif, turn uwu nine anu energy to leinng another man or woman how to conduct their affairs. Others devote time that might be applied profitably In their own affairs, to idle discussion of the affairs of another with other busybodles and the harm is done. A busybody is a meddler. The Divine Plan ordains a sphere of actlvitv o each of us in the general battle of life. There Is only one way to itccecd In the labor assigned us to give It undivided attention. The boy or girl in school cannot study if time is wasted spying on other boys and girls who may not be studying. The employes who leaves own work to meddle with another's, with gratiultous advice. without orders s to do, Is a busybody Inviting trouble. The woman tells another woman what she should do with her boys and girls in some particular, is a busybody and meddler unless she has perfections f her own and a license to instruct others. Peter explained things clearly. Each of us should mind our own business if we would flourish. And Peter told us that we should fortify our own standing spiritually before going afield to instruct others. Deatched upllfters may learn much from the words of Peter who after lmost nineteen centuries Is still a vital force and will be when all the cuny busy- bodies shall have been forgotten in dust. Ill he a great shock to them. Oh. Allx, I don't know how to 11 them. They have always loved Duane. It will break their hearts. will let you tell them when you home." "Where will you go in the mean time?" "I don't know. Perhaps I will stay at the apartment. Allx, a don't think I can stand this un certainty much longer." 'Uncertainty of what?" "Of my divorce." "Why. my dear, I thought you were Just as certain of that as you might be of death and taxes." "I guess I am, but I wit-h I could hurry It up and get the or deal over." "If it will make you feel better, dear. 1 will tell you that I learned in the city that your case will "I don't think It quite fair. It come up the first of th weef "Did you see Duane?" There was an eager note In her voles that I had not heard since Duane and she had parted. "Yes, I saw him." "How is he looking?" "Not as well as you do." "What do you mean by that?" "I mean 'hat he seems to be taking the separation much harder than you are." "He should take it harder. It is the result of his misdemeanor." Bab's indifferent Intolerance so Infuriated me that for the first time since Duane and she had parted I said something to her foi which 1 was afterwards sorry. "How could you be so intoler ant, Bab? One would think that you had expected to marry a per fect man. Bab, you and many other women whose lives I have heard about have always convinc ed me that the flood ot divorces In this country result not so much from'he vices of men as because women ask for more than human virtues in the men they marry. I have lost all faith In the divinity of my own sex. I scarce can find one who can understand that 'to err Is human, to forgive divine!' They seem to say 'I shall forgive nothing even If I pull down the sacred edifices of home about my head." Bab arose and left the room. Then I knew that I had been a cat, for how ever mistaken Bab was In her rules and Ideas of conduct, she was very unhappy. My mind was brought back to my own affairs by Hannah, who had just put little Hal to bed. "Mrs. Hammersley, may I speak to you for a moment?" "Certainly, Hannah." "I do not think little Hal Is as well as usual. His throat seems to be swollen." "I'll come right In and see htm, Hannah." "It wasn't that so much, Mrs. Hammersley, that I wanted to speak about. It Is about Miss Bab." "What about her, Hannah?" "She cries constantly when you are not here. I thought you ought to know." I was not yet over being angry with Bab, and I answered, "Han nah, she has only herself to blame." "Can't you do something, Mrs. Hammersley?" "I think she will be better by, vnA K.r A , 1 , .1 .

Furthermore, he declares Stolen Eggs Cause $5000 Damage Suit Three cases of stolen eggs taken from the Hubbard creamery on the last day of 1920, form the nucleus for a $5000 law suit against that concern now being heard In the circuit court before Judge Percy Kelly of department No. 1. Dave Swanson, a young farmer living near Hubbard, alleges that he was damaged to the extent of! $5000 when on New Year's day he was falsely and maliciously arrest ed on complaint of 0, W. Mayger, manager of the Hubbard creamery, on the charge of stealing the eggs and sentenced to spend 30 days In the county jail. According to the evidence given In court today by Miss Edua Reed, assistant manager of the Estes Dickson commission house, Port land, Swanson did not stay in Jail long, for on January 2 she was brought to Salem to Identify him as the man that sold her the eggs the day previous. On her failure to do so, Swanson was released by county officials and the real cul prit, Alvis Pulley, was later appre hended and Is now serving a pen itentiary sentence for that and other offenses. Due, however, to the wide pub licity given the case, Swanson al leges that he was falsely and ma lilcously charged of the theft and asks damages from the creamery.
