FORCING THE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE.
THE Colorado mine owners, of whom the Rockefellers,
despite the lies told to shield them, are the leading
stockholders, assert that they do not question the
right of their employes to associate themselves in
unions for the furtherance of their common and legiti
mate interests. What they object to is the union insist
ing on their right to be dealt with as such, for the men
collectively to be treated with. What chance would a
miner have in dealing with the Colorado Fuel & Iron com
pany which has arrogated to itself the right to be dealt
with as a company rather than its members must be dealt
with as individuals? Compare the company and the indi
vidual worker, and figure out about how much ice the one
man would cut. It is the wealthiest corporation west oi
Chicago. It has a capital of $-10,000,000, but this is not a
fraction of its value. It owns and operates 178 miles ol
railroad. It owns thirty towns that it has built and rents
to its employes. It owns and operates nearly 2,000 miles
of telegraph lines. It owns and operates a $20,000,000
steel plant at Pueblo, and a huge rolling mill at Laramie,
Wyoming. It controls and owns all the things necessary
to the production of steel. It has its own iron ore and
limestone and coal. It owns and operates
thirty-nine big mines and P50 coke ovens. It mines annu
ally 5,000,000 tons of coal and makes as part of the prod
uct of this 514,000 tons of iron yearly. It rolls every year
100,000 tons of steel rails, besides making spikes, nuts,
bolts and pipe. It owns more than GOO square miles t of
lands underlaid with coal or iron or both, and for which
the government, the people, got $2.50 to $3.00 an acre. It
controls the natural routes for transportation and the
ne.ona w ivViinVi thp liTulq nf the state can be reached.

! io tn nWnrh its hnld on this vast DvoDertv. a great
part of which yet belongs to the state or the government,
but which is cornered and fenced up by the Rockefellers
and the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, that the cheap
and ignorant-of-the-language foreign labor was imported
by the Rockefellers and the company. What show, think
you, would one individual have against such an outfit?
This combination objects to union labor dictating to it,
but if arrogantly dictates to the whole United States and
tells the president of this republic elected by its people
that "it has nothing to arbitrate, and that it is none of the
government's business, anyway." There is one apparent
remedy, and that is to take the property over by the gov
ernment at the price paid for it and the actual cost of im
provements. That will settle it.
This company has thrown down the gauntlet. It is
either socialism or anarchy. Which do you prefer?
F.vnl M. Pottvcvow writes an interesting letter for the
Journal's "open forum" today. We do not endorse all
his views, but feel that he is sound on many points, and
that he states clearly the position of a progressive, edu
cated farmer. Salem's commercial club wanted to know
what the farmers think of this city, and Mr. Pettycrew
tells the organization a good many things which should
afford fcod for thought and action and for discussion,
too, because the position he takes in some respects is
open to debate. We commend his letter as readable, and
the fact that he has adopted farming as a real profession
entitles it to still greater consideration.
The Rebel General Zapata has sent word that a promi
nent merchant in Mexico City intends to capture the city,
and that when he does he will "have the pleasure of eating
said merchant's cars fried." From the reports, that seem
to be authentic, as to the scarcity of soap, Mr. Zapata is
welcome to all the pleasure he can procure from the
dish.
A NOTED physician has excited England by an elab
orate argument to show that nature intended every
man to have several wives. He points out that num
bers of the races of the world have practiced poly
gamy in the past and that many do still, and in electrical
language he presents the conclusion that the condition
must be a natural one.
But he might have gone just one step further and
shown" just as conclusively that every woman ought to
have several husbands. Many nations have lived under
polyandry, meaning one woman to many men. Some do
still, the Tibetans, for instance..
He might by the same process show that nature intend
ed men to eat one another, to kill off their weakling child
ren, to slaughter the aged as soon as they are past work,
to burn dead men's wives, and to sacrifice human beings
to religious superstition.
It is more than amusing that in an enlightened land
and in this enlightened age a learned man, with no saner
argument than this, should outrage sense and sentiment
alike by advocating a return to a marriage system which
makes women mere slaves, and deprives them of their
natural faculty for refining the natures of men.
The people of this age are not seeking excuses for po
lygamous marriage. It is almost universally recognized
that the highest, most beautiful relation between the
sexes is that which exists when a man and a womanjoy
fully remain faithful to one another all their lives. Such
a bond makes them lovers, helpmates, comrades. It is the
best possible destiny for both.
It gives woman an assured position, an honored place
in the community. It endows her with a sense of respon
sibility. The man's character is subtly influenced by
that of hi3 wife. Her tenderness soothes him in weari
ness, and her devotion cheers him in disappointment.
Roosevelt is sore at the administration for offering to

Experience With Employees Shows That
They Work Best When Contented
By R. G. Hutchins, Vice President National Bank of Commerce,
New York City
THE time hns come when tho head of a business must acknowledge
tho importance of psychology in relation to success and must
utilize it to that end. Our experience with employees has boon
that T1IKY WORK BEST WHEN CONTENTED. A man who is
always looking for a new job isn't going to pay any too close attention
to tho one he lias. A fellow with a family to care for and a constitu
tion that isn't too robust is constantly looking, up from-his ledger to
catch the leering face of the specter of possible disability staring at him
through tho bars of the cage. And ho knows that disability means that
tho rent isn't going to bo paid and that the children will be hungry.
The more ho thinks of these things the more they get on his nerves;
tho moro often ho looks up from his ledger to see if the specter is still
thefe. ' And his work suffers.
WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH THESE TWO TYPES OF MEN THROUGH
EXPERIENCE. AND WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH ANOTHER TYPE.
THIS WAS THE FELLOW WHO CAME TO WORK AND WHOM WE
SPENT MONTHS OF TIME TEACHING. THE INTRICATE DETAILS OF A
CERTAIN POSITION. WHEN HE HAD LEARNED THEM AND WE HAD
BEGUN TO BREATHE EASIER HE SUDDENLY ANNOUNCED THAT HE
WAS GOING TO QUIT. AND WE FACED AGAIN THE LONG GRIND OF
BREAKING IN A NEW MAN.
AH these elements wo figured in our quest for a solution, and when
we got hold of that solution we tested it pretty thoroughly to see if it
lived up to the proof. Wo knew that the BEST WAY OF KEEPING
A MAN CONTENTED WAS TO GIVE IUM SOMETHING TO
LOOK FORWARD TO. The pension system, did this. It let erery
man in our employ know that if he stuck to his work and made good bit
old age and that of bis family :ould be provided for.
I stand by my window alone, and
look at the pcop;e go by, pursuing the
shimmering bone, which is so elusive
and shy. Pursuing
the beckoning plunk,
and no one ecu
ntalro tliem believe
thnt roubles and ko
pecks are junk, vain
baubles got up to
deceive. Their faces
are haggard and sad,
trom weariness-often
they reel, pursuing
tho succulent scad,
pursuing the wan
dering wheel. And
many are there in
the throng who have
all tho money they need, and still they
go racking along, inspired by the demon
of 'greed. "To put some more bucks in
the chest," they sigh, as they toil,
"would be grand;" the beauty anil
blessing of rest is something they don't
understand. We struggle and strain all
our years, and wear out our bodies and
brains, and when we are stretched on
our biers, what profit wo then by our
pains? The lawyers come down with a
whoop, and rake in our bundle of scrip,
and planter ft lieu on the coop before
our poor orphans can yip. I stand at
my window again, and seo the poor
folks as they trail, pursuing the yam
mering yen, pursuing the conquering
kale; and sorrow is filling my breast,
regret that the people won't know the
infinite blessing of rest, that solace
for heartache and woe

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and thnt is by constitutional remedies.
Donfness is caused by an inflamed eon
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian tube. When this tube is in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ana when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal eondition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
