trial population of the cities ara not
producios plums. harrows, doth, and
hoots, the paseante are forced to do
their work with primitive wooden
tools, to scour, card and spin their
own cloth, to make their own leather
and shoe«, all of which reduces the
surplus that can be shipped from
the farm to the city. Add to this
condition the breakdown la trans­
pora tatioa. prolong It for ten or fif­
teen years and what is tho result?
The population must go booh to tho
level of two hundred years ago, to
the primitiva parted before large-
ecale industry and steam transporta­
tion made possible the modern sub­
division of labor with Its tremen­
dously inert seed output.
A similar proosas is now going on
In Germany. It will sweep all over
the world wherever the Bolshevik
theory is put into practice. Every­
where production will decrease at
least forty par cent under Bolshe­
vism. Sines the world must have a
100-per cent productkm, it follows
that under Bolahevl —1 halt the pop­
ulation of the Industrial conn trise
must be wiped out. Everybody will
try to reetet this wlplag-out process.
The weakest will go first; the
strongest will fight tooth and nail
against extinction. As In Ruaste, a
savage war for mere existence will
eoauaeaou, civilization w ill revert
hade to feudal times when the weak­
er ones beoome voluntary slaves of
the stronger men In order to pre­
serve their miserable Uvea. In self-
defense society must not hesitate one
second to ose machine guns and
hand grenades against any factoin
attempting through violence to re­
produce Rumian conditions in the
United States.
But an ounce of
friendly prevention is better than a
ton of hand grenades. Deep-seated
discontent exists. Unrest pervades
broad strata of the workers It is
strictly up to the men In control of
industry and finance speedily to de­
vise ways and means to reduce this
discontent.
More especially is It
necessary right now and without a
minute’s delay so to re-arrange
things that every man willing and
able to work has a chance to earn
s living for himself and family every
day in the year. Nothing breeds
greater and more righteous fury
than unemployment, the eight of
vacant houses, of stores stocked with
nil the good things while the indi­
vidual la denied a chance to ex­
change his labor for the things hla
family needs.
Get down to fundamentals, you
gentlemen who ride in limousines.
W rget foreign trade for a few days
and turn your attention upon the
human problem of the man who
a family to support and can’t find
work.
Solve • his problem first,
thereby re-inforcing the foundation
upon which this republic and your
prosperity are built.— From the
April Sunset.

DICTATION NT
RADICALISM
D
DOOMED
The collapse of the long continued
ship yards’ strike in Seattle lends
additional point to the following on
the result of the Seattle municipal
election:
Seattle has just elected three
councilmen. Of six candidates three
were responsible to the public, three
to the radical section of organized
labor. The three laborltes promised
in the official organ of their party
to follow the voice of that party, to
take their opinions from and rest
their official acts upon Its decisions.
The candidates responsible to the
public were elected. As Mayor Ole
Hanson puts it. ’ ’Seattle’s cltisens
by their ballot repudiated attempts
to establish Soviet authority in Se­
attle.” He draws from the election
the conclusion that “ every true
American citlsen will repudiate
preaching of class hatred If given
the opportunity.”
Without doubt. Moreover, organ­
ized labor has made Itself powerful
and respected in the United States
byt abstaining from class politics.
The result of the Seattls election
is more than a victory of loyalty
and order. It is s victory for the
intelligent and conservative major­
ity of organised labor.— Manufac­
turer. ■

Business Judgement
There was a contractor who employed six Irishmen by the year as teamsters, hat they
kicked, “ too much work; teams too slow ; too many hours,” etc., so the oontraotor figured
it ont to them thus:
There are 366 days in a year; eight hears for work, eight hoars for sleep and eight
hoars for leisure each day. Eight hours per day amounts to 122 days, which, taken from
366 days, leaves 243 days. Eight hoars leisure per day amounts to 122 days, which, taken
from 243, leaves 121 days. From which take the 62 Sundays, leaves 66 days.
Mow, there are 62 Saturday afternoons off, which makes 86 days, which, taken from
66, leaves 43 days, from whiojk d e te ct I f legal holidays, which leaves 28 werking days;
but every man gets two weeks’ vacation on fa ll pay, which, taken from 28, leaves 14
days; and as every man has am W a r each day for dinner, which amounts to 18 days in a
year, there is only 1 day left. This day happened to be S t Patrick’s day, and the Irishmen
refused to work on St. Patrick’s day, so the oontraotor arranged fo r A oouple o f 0A S Y
MOTON TROCES to take tho plaoe o f the six teams and drivers and so settled Ids laker
troubles and solved his hauling problems without a strike or lockout and to the entire sat­
isfaction of all concerned

best cow gave 1,112 pounds of milk
carrying 76.60 pounds to t Her rec­
ord in milk was SM times and in flat
almost three times that of the aver­
age 400 cows. Yet the 400 Were
better than the average untested

sent to the buteher for being no
better., 1 . L. Wastover of the agri­
