The wheels ot time run slowly
but they don't compare to those of
the proposed 1905 Lewis Clark
fair. Two years is a short time to
prepare an exhibition of comnieiv
urate proportion mj uuiugi;
nlav the resources of the great
Pacific northwest. The pride of
tv, atatn ia at stake in this under
taking. Wake up!
The irUrine licht of publicity is
- - o -
the most effectual method of com
bating official corruption. The
airing of th rotteneBS ot the baking
powder conspiracy in Missouri is
showing up some men of -national
reputation. Likewise the Oregon
Und offices are eettine a general
baking up. Publicity is doing
the work in grand ekape.
England. Japan the United
States and the whole "capoodle"
may protest against Russian oc
cupancy of Manchuria, but what
can they do about it? Russia has
so thoroughly colonized that part
of China that virtually, if no in
name, the entire district belongs to
ber. It will take more than a pro
test to molest Russia in her great
China land grabbing scheme

Mr. Parry's . denunciation of
labor unions is intemperate and
illogical. Many labor unions are
arrogant, abusing the privileges in
tended to be derived from co-operation
of effort. Nothing is more un
just to either employe or employer

Miss May Harper, of Franklin,

entitled to the same wages that a
more skilled one receives, simply
because he is eligible to meet as a
member with the union body.
Likewise there is little justice in
violence exercised by union mem
bers when non-union members are
desired by the employer. The in
dividual should be the judge as to
whether he desires to identify as
"union" or "scab." But on the
other hand, let's see. No matter
how overbearing unions become
let capital remember it is responsi
ble for the condition. Organized
labor is the only successful method
of combating concentrated capital.
.If capital has the right to organize,
with a view of controlling prices,
expense, output, etc., labor reserves
the same privilege for itself. Cent
by cent we nave seen comiuouiura
jump in price, simply because a
few could dictate the supply, while
the price of manufacture, because
of labor-saving ,machioery and
other improvements, gradually
fell. This condition of affairs gave
birth to labor unions. Capital
may say: "I can starve longer
than labor," but labor can retort:
"The masses are with me and the
whole people are mightier than the
few." Conditions continue to as-
