The current issue of the
"Kmployitr" published i okla-
lionia City (arries an editorial
witli the above title. It is so
distinctly to Hie nnnt. thai w-
reproduce it in mil :
"In a small town in Oklaho-
ma a man who leaned vcrv
strongly toward socialism was
employed lor a number of year
in it restaurant. He was work-
ing for another man. and al-
ways the tenor of his remarks
was the dwon trodden worl "ig
man and the unfair advantage
which tho employer took ovtv
the employee. The husines
being a small one. and the em-
ployer a man who liked to talk
over his business problem
with his help there were many
discussions .inent the question
of capital anil labor on a small
scale. Never could the em-
ployee see the side of the own
er of the business and he loved
to talk of I he day when Inb.ir
would overthrow canital being
to him represented by his em-
ployer and labor by himself.
lint now the tables have turned
.mil by some hoov or crook
this man who worked so loan
for another saved enough mon
ey to buy himself a restaurant
and being well acquainted witn
tin business be started up wiHi
bright visions of a happy fut-
ure. From labor he has be-
come capital in tin embryo
From employee he has becom
employer.
Now. being on the other side
of the fence as it were lie can
see t lie other side of the ques-
tion of capital and labor lie
has found out (hat whereas In:
is obliged to give (wo weeks
notice before firiny any of hi.;
workers they on they other
hand are quite at liberty to
walk out and leave him in a
tighe place. This litis happen-
ed to him several times since
he launched into business for
himself. He pays high prices
for labor which is of the poor-
est and he is constantly in fear
thai his three or four helpers
will leave him without a mom-
ents notice thereby losing fry
him many dolnrs He is ob
liged to put un with all sorts of
inconveniences be is obliged
to keep ooks who cannot cook
and waiters who (annul serve
properly. He is evident Iv coin-
ing to realize thai husini""iipi

then only will einp'oye- and
employer be enabled to reach
an understanding of each oth-
er's problems and the much ag
Hated "capital and labor" ques-
tion will settle itself. The week
now ending has seen nianv
thousands of men leave t heit
work in tin attempt to enforc
their demands. The leaving o!
industry to its own devices lias
however hint the industries
very little for they are runming
along just the same but the
men who walked out are mi.
with no assurance of getting
back. The Steel Strike has
signally failed and the sti"l
workers have shown bad fait I.
to an extent that the employer
must indeed show charity to-
ward them if anv negotiations
whatever are had.

The National Ciedil .Men'-i
Association wants a change in
the bankruptcy law. which will
prevent a man from living be-
yond his means and then se-
i tiring absolution thru bank-
ruptcy. True indeed. Mank
ruptcy olten covers a niiiltitud'
of financial sins.
There is one wiir work or
gani.utiou by which every
so'd'er 1 1 oiu overseas swears
it is the Salvation Army. Tic
work the army did for Ihe sol-
diers is going to lie done lor
civilians in Oklahoma. Kvery
family should contribute to the

Not many years ago there
was a big clamor for govern-
ment ownership of public tit il
ities. The government tried
its hand at operating Rail-
roads. Kx press Companies
Telegraph. Telephones and Ca-
bles and the pro-government
ownership groun has subsided
altogether. What business
needs is not more politics bu'
less politics and the lss the
Oovernmont has? to do will

lie and business will be.

While the subject of wages
and high cost of living is rife

They seem to be about th"

Like a great many of our
physical ailments much of tin

purely imaginery.
I'uiest is nothing more than
a perturbed .state of mind and
this plus radical agitation can
he turned into almost anything
