This done, the boys were handicapped for want of a musical instrument to m ake more pleasant tEeir evenings. Captain Bassett feltthat the boys salaries' were not sufficient to justify them in making' a purchase, so asked the folks at hom,e once more': to join in adding "to their pleasures and comfort while off duty, The ladies interested in the boys took the matter up and a fine grafonola is now on the way to the front. However, to pay this, the proceeds' of Modday evening's performance at the Columbia theatre will be given. Here is. where, the people of Provo can oaee more show their interest in the boys who have gone to the front. It will require $50 to pay for, the machine and Manager J. B.v Ashton will place an excellent bill on the screen and those who attend the show will not only get their moneys worth, but will pay just the amOunfof the tickets they buy toward ; paying for the instrument which has been sent to the frent. The call is so very light that the Columbia theatre should be packed during the en- ( tire evening. V . We know our Provo people who are interested in the welfare of those sixty stalwart young men who are now doing government duty on the border, and no true citizen would refuse to contribute the small amount called for to give the boys clean, wholesome. entertainment. It has been the constant prayer-o- f their parents that they come home as clean as they left and the captain of the company pledged his word of honor that they would doso. He is now trying his best to keep them properly occupied on duty and during recreation.so.that they will come back better men than they were when they left. He needs our assistance and by doing what we can toward their comfort, we are doing our share toward aiding the captain in his laudable ambitiom The thing the reasked for this time" is not much,-b-ut whether will determine the of people sponse or not they are in sympathy with the boys and have a proper spirt of patriotism. .

LABOR FOR HUGHES , Our Democratic friends who have tried to place President Wilson in the light of Americas greatest labor leader, in order 10 cater to the labor element throughout-th- e United States have failed to impress Uh public seriously; The criticism also made by Samuel Gompers on two supreme court decisions in which Judge Hughes joined, have also been very disappointing to those Demo crat8 who had thought to make an issue bis against H!ughes. .However, in. defense to go labor record, Judge Hughes had but was he when governor ot back to the period New York. Then he was advocating policies and not merely construing laws.. When Gov. Hughes was appointed a justice of the supreme court, the official organ of organized labor in the state of New York said editorially: jf Now that Gov. Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place oh the highest judicial tribunal in the word, the fact can be " acknowledged, 7 without hurting , anybodys political of . corns, that he was the greatest friend bor that has ever occupied the gover-nor- s fcbair at Albany, During his two in... terms- Lei hAS signed Jiffcsix Jaws, labor laws cluding among them the best ever enacted in this or any other state labor-- , He also urged the enactment-of laws in his message to the legislature, even going so far as tp demand n labor to an extra law" in one of his messages 1 Session of tb legislature. enact- GnV 162 labor laws have been in 1777 -'ed irf.thb elate since its election of these, exveers. .One-thir- d i all others, have been ceeding in quality -- enacted siud signed .dutmjLOor, nnghe and nine months. , term of three years " - -- the railroads all over the United States will stop operating and the nation will suffer the greatest calamity in years. This strike will come right home to the people and in no section of the country will it be felt so' severely as in the fruit districts, where the crop i3 ready forthe market and there will be no cars in which to ship it. Our Utah county fanners have grown a splendid crop of peaches and will be able to demand a splendid price should the railroad trouble be adjusted immediately, but bad &s the results will be, this seems almost an impossibility rajhf&A1 present time. When President Wilson bade good-by- e to the railway executives, he said: God help you, I cannot,- - However, the administration will have something to answer for should a st.'kq fe called, and forthe industrial calamities that- - may follow, for the president has apparently forgotten all about the principle of arbitration, which in years passed has played such an important part in settling labor disputes? He seems intent on creating a precedent that may raise its ugly head in th future to confound men working for industrial peace and justice and to plague innocent couiuium-lie- s. By demanding that the employer shall concede the principle of eight-hou- r employment as a condition precedent to arbitration, President Wilson has placed the arbitrary over the arbitrable. ten-ho- eight-hQu- Strength of the Hills 1 L j -- , , LUO CATS r.;r.F,E.::Wafc!i e miller ot. thirty years superintends the preparation, manufacture and packing of Sunrlpe Rolled Oats. . .

It may be that it would place an insupportable burden on railroads in the form of increased wages. It may be that its workings as to hours would be found impracticable. If so, a board or arbitration could so find. But & board of arbitration, according to the presidents suggestion, would find its burdens greatly lightened. It would try but part of a case. The great concession would have, been made, and any board, such as that suggested in the presidents scheme, would be' powerless to advance freight rates to meet new conditions or in any other way usurp the functions of the Interstate Com- - merce commission. Justice means the affording of equal opportunity to litigants." No court of law or equity in the civilized world demands of the plaintiff or defendant that he shall concede the greater part of his case before its submission. Any subversion -- of - this principle of equality in onr industrial courts will mean injustice and their inevitable futility, And for this President Wilson will be held strictly accountable by a posterity whose welfare he is willing to sacrifice with the principle of arbitration, for the purpose of the campaign of 1916. ;7 Is 4 . filled One hundred automobiles with enraged men forced Sheriff Eley of Lima, Ohio, to direct them into the rough country north of that , city, where he" is supposed to hare hidden Charles Daniels, a negro of attacking Mrs. John Barber, . young wife of a prominent farmer,-Sheriff It was announced that Eley had taken the - negro to the' Ohio er Rev.
