Kn-rl ut Kugi'ne, Oregon, postofflcc- an second-clawi mutter TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1908 HoweviT dark and dreary the day, The skies however bleak and gray, All surface showing scorning, ' I like to hear my neighbor say. As I go walking on my way, "Good morning, sir, good morning!". It but confirms a notion glad, That I, these many years have had, That life Is how we take It. A morning may.be goodor bad, It may be frolicsome or Bad, According as wo make It. THE LABOR PROBLEM The head of a great British firm of shipbuilders and steam ship operators, Sir 0. Furness, has made a proposal to his em ployes that is truly extraordinary. He and his associates and stockholders are weary of industrial strife of strikes, threats, interruptions and disturbances, losses due to them, and the bit terness generated and inform the workingmen that unless the whole situation is radically changed, and peace assured in his yards and shops, the shops will be closed, Sir .0. Furness asks that a council be formed to decide all disputes and that the em-, ployes bind themselves to await arbitration and abide by-the awards of the arbitrators. This failing he proposes a choice of two alternatives. Let the employes adopt a profit-sharing scheme and be admitted as partners into the great enterprise, or, if that be deemed inexpe dient, let them, with the aid of their unions and union funds, buy out the works at a fair and reasonable price, to be fixed by com petent assessors, and run them co-operatively. In an editorial comment on the foregoing,' the Chicago Record-Herald says the conference at which these remarkable pro posals were made was certainly very unique. The employes, according to the opinion of that paper, will doubtless be, moved to give serious consideration to the alternatives before them. So frank and enlightened an attitude on the part of the firm should meet with an equally frank and intelligent response-from the employes, who also need peace and stability in the industry and who cannot be supposed to prefer strikes and trouble for their own .sake. It is not likely that the buying out alternative will be chosen, though several economists, noting the growth and strength of trade unions, have advocated the purchase of works and their co-operative management, and think this the "coming policy." It is a fact, too, that in backward Russia the "articl," a combina tion of workers who contract to do all manner of jobs, small and big, is a recognized institution and a notable Success. Co operation flourishes in Croat Britain, but the voting of union funds to employes desirous of embarking in business is not one of the usual and familiar ways of promoting co-operation. but the "chief ruler of the people."There's no dieting that the present occupant of the office is "chief ruler" all right, but, un less we're wrongly informed, he draws his wages regularly, and that seems to make a noise like a "hired man." a No battleships have been ordered to Lugfnif? Switzerland, to demand why a mob took a statue or George Washington from its pedestal and chucked it into the lake, but all the same we'd like to know what grievance they had against our George. : When it comes to being a trouble-hunter, this railroad ma who says we must annex Santa Domingo ranks way up in G, Needless to say his railroad interests are on that $!and. COTTAGE GROVE HAD BAD FIRE s LAST NIGHT T).. rem . diroiiiln.JtV .- uiuujr According to the man who says he stole the Standard Oil letters, Hearst has not made public the worst of them. This looks like a deliberate attempt to increase insomnia in senatorial cir cles. Maybe Russia preserved the peace of Europe, as is claimed, but it is moftj likely that it was the money czars, as no great war can be fought if they refused to put up the coin needed. ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM HAS ARRIVED IN EUGENE Astoria's high school football team came down this afternoon from Portland, where they defeated the Portland -Academy aggregation to the score of 11 to 4. They will spend the rest of the week here until Fri day, when they meet the local high school team. Astoria has an exceptionally strong team this year, especially In weight, (about 1G5; that of Eugene, 155), and have been spoken or as nulte fast. If Eugene wins the game, It will not be because of weight, it will not be because of veteran play ers for she has practically a new team, It will not be of superior coaching, but It will depend almost wholly upon the snap and speed and sheer strength. Thus far the team has sjiown considerable strength, but It lias not as much snap and life as It should have. Coach Hug, however, is putting a week of severe practice to bring this point up to its highest efficiency. Tho Astoria tenm will practice enrih. afternoon on Klncald field whilo here. Knlcm Kxciirslon Kate. Tho one-faro rate ($2.15), Is now practically assured, yet It would be appreciated If the business men and others who Intend to go on this ex cursion would give their names to any high Bchool student, who will urn them over to the committee. The editor of the San Jose (Calif.) Times complains that the phonograph is killing American enthusiasm, because of its use in political campaigns. Ever notice, he says, that a phonograph campaign orator never stops to take a drink of water or wipe off his chin, while engaged in the loud pursuit of disseminating knowledge, via the popular peace disturbers? Another little thing we lose is tho withering glance of scorn, the windmill ges tures, the -tortuous posings and withal the gladsome sight of about fifty more or less handsome honorary vice presidents as a background to the speaker. "Tho Fruit Grower," of St. Joseph, Mo., has just issued a Homesoekers' Edition, which contains an extended report from all the fruit-growing districts of the West, and no one state re ceives as.much attention as'Oregon. There is page after page of illustration and text, and evory part of the state is given promi nence. In fact, Oregon probably gejs more attention than any two states. This is true because the state is better organised, doing better advertising, has more good pictures, and has learned how to present its resources and attractions better than an other state in the Union. Taft spoke in seventeen towns a week ago, and yet there are those who will toll you that the presidential campaign is slow and pokynd devoid of that stronnosity whfli has characterized other presidential campions. Oh top of this information comes the news that Bryan delivered thirty political addresses irQ'tie day, thus going Mr. Taft sa cral bolter. Wo are Qnvinccd by the foregoing that there is plenty of life in the campaign, but you must go to the righplacto got the benefit of it. Eugeno is sure to grow into a city twice its present size just 0is fast ns tho carpenters and bricklayers can build thcQouscs accessary to jicconunorlato the increas population. We have tidjaccnQ large area of territory capable of intensified deve'(8y. ment, and the people who want small farms that they nre able to c!ikivato tlioughly arc cowing in by tho thousands to Western Oregon, county. IRST NUMBER OF ENTERTAINMENT COURSE Tho first number of the Buceol En tertainment course will be given on Tuesday, November 2, at the Central Presbyterian church, when four great musical artists will appear.

Pfouts is one of the most talked of violinists of Now York city today. Ho has stud ied undir Leopold Kramer of Chi cago, and Max llendrlx and Michael Haulier of New York. Kdwln M. Sltom-rt, the fourth of the company la well known to American lovers of music, having played In many trans coin Inuntat tours. The Artist Trio, appearing No vember 2 7, Is one of especial merit, Including Mary Agnes Doyle, whose "Mr. Holey" skolches nre very tak ing: Flora McGIII, contralto and pianist, soloist In one of the leading churches In Chicago; and Blanche Deerlng, master of the violin and piano.

During the Easter vacation pe riod the Iowa t'olloge Glee Club of Grlnnell will come to this college town to win honors away from the Oregon glee. This Is a well trained organization and will render music well worth tho hearing. Governor t Folk, being the best known to the people of Eugene, will probably be one of tho best attrac tions of the voter's courso. and May 15 will be looked forward to with much Interest. "Soldiers of Peace," will be his theme. The Iliiceel entertainment course Is being promoted by the young poo plea' organization -vslx of the Eu geiie churches. wlthHhe purpose of bringing in some first class enter tainments. It Is the Intention to con tinue the course from year to year If It is sufficiently patronized.
