Charles Stelzle “The cave of Adulam—!” Headquarters of agitators of social unrest, home of the distressed and discontented, harbor of the bitter of soul—could any good thing come out of such a place? In this famous hiding place, three thousand years ago, lived six hundred loyal followers of David—all of them hunted and hounded by an unjust ruler. ; It was a time of world-adjustment. Social conditions were wretched everywhere. The great nations of the world were in a state of turmoil. There wasn’t must hope in them for the com- mon people. And God had selected the Israelites—rather an insignificant race compared with the Egyptians and the Assyrians—so that He might through them redeem the world from oppression and de- spair. King Saui had been a disappointment—and now God had selected David to become the leader of his people. And yet—the six hundred was all he had—‘“a motley mob with which to build a kingdom,” thought the standpatters in Saul’s royal house-| body, and na hold! , Enough leisure for mind and body and soul to yah one develop. Close to the cave of Adullam—one thousand years after David and his band found shelter in this historic place—Jesus was born in the stable of an inn—a direct descendant of King David. Rome wwas.supreme,. Half the. world lived, in) slavery. Even the philosophers said that a pur- chased slave was better than a hired one—that the workers had no souls. : Ana Jesus, like David, gathered about Himself a humble company of followers—workingmen, women, slaves—with these He proposed to set up His kingdom on earth. Who can read their gospels and epistles with- out being convinced that these followers were champions of the poor and the distressed? For example, this is the epistle by James. “Hath not God chosen the poor of this world * * * but ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?’ * * * Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shail rain Keeontyndn aT ASS AP ICC EI aE all kinds of tyranny—don’t let’s substitute one form of oppression for another. carry with us the poorest man in the world, so we cannot go very far forward without taking along with us the richest man, The down-trodden poor will become richer and the unworthy rich will become poorer—there’s go- ing to be.a great readjustment. But out of the struggle that’s ahead there must come brotherhood—the brotherhood of men for which David and Jesus longed and toward the se- curing of which every true man of today will gladly give the best that’s in him. CHARLES STELZLE. Staff Writer on Religious Topics, and Who Was a Machinist Before He Entered the Pulpit. LABOR ASKS FOR FAIR DEAL, SQUARE DEAL—NOTHING MORE! Much has been said, written, and thought about “labor disturbances,” “labor unrest,” and the “labor problem.” Differences between labor and capital, often coming to a more or less violent parting of ways—as in strikes, lockouts and boy- cotts—are extending into every industry in every country. We in the United States have no monop- oly of labor troubles. What causes labor troubles here causes them in Iceland, Italy, India, the world over— The failure of the pay envelope to balance the cost of living when weighed against each other! Labor insists it is not getting a square deal when it receives in return for its brain and brawn less than it needs to keep that brain and brawn in good working condition. Labor believes a fair deal is that which brings a wage outweighing the cost of living so that there may be provision for old age, the proverbial rainy day, and the rearing of children. Some day labor will get it—and soon! Why not? i For a deal labor calls fair and square is noth- ing but granting to labor the fruits of its own toiling, that portion of its own production right- fully labor’s share. Labor insists that labor’s share is— Work for all, but no overloading of any one; Enough food, good food, for the body; Enough recreation and rest for both mind and And in return he is willing to do his share of one man harms both he and his fellow man.

Ye have condemned and killed the just.” And from this humble band of followers, there has grown the most powerful force for righteous- ness in the whole wide world. e a & & And now the world faces another crisis. For hundreds of years the “common people” have been fighting for democracy. And they have won a great victory. Kingdoms have crumbled and rulers have fall- en before them. Whole nations have been set free. Those who sat in darkness have seen a great light. Those who were once the clods of the earth have become the kings on the throne. That for which the refugees in the Cave of ‘Adullam so eagerly sought, and for which the followers of Jesus so gladly died, has become a reality. Their dream has come true—their hope has been realized. ewe 8 & Labor is sure to win a complete victory. Every day gives fresh evidence of this fact. But—Labor on the throne must not mean op- pression even toward its former oppressors. “He that ruleth over men must be just”—is the warn- ing of David, the leader of the Adullamites. “Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you,” i is the command of Jesus. To get.his share of life, while giving his share of work, he must have— Living hours, living wages, and a working place which doesn’t make living long impossible. The number of hours a man should work should depend entirely upon the amount produced by all value ‘of rusted or blighted wheat, oat men who work.. If the world can eat and liye as “well as it desires by.a four-hour work day, why |not been effected: by rust or blight and. that is the fair day!

Gradually, as man be-|ficld the full nutrient ‘value .in- the comes more efficient and less wasteful, and re- duces the number of non-producing grown-ups.

Though we may speak of dollars let us From. time to" time. there have been in North- Dakota‘severe outbreaks of rust and scab wheat. During these Tust years’ thel: feeding <value’ of: the. straw has’ come ap for consideration many-times. Some‘farmers feared that rusted or scab infected straw might be detrimental "to: their’ stock. I am writing this news-note to call attention to the fdct that the feeding or barley straw is much higher than the feeding value'of straw which ‘has which; matured dts’ grain normally. If Wheat matures normally in the straw finally accumulates in. the seed ; heuce, when the straw is harvested it has comparatively low feeding value, however, if rust or scab . or other blight has stopped the maturing of the wheat, the nutrient value left in. the straw is much higher than it would bave been had the grain ‘ripened with- out injury. All‘such straw. should this year be saved for feed. The‘chemical department of this institution and. of a number of Canadian provinces have several’ times. tested this proposition and have reported a high feed value for badly rusted: straw. Sometimes the nitrogen content runs as high as @ to. 9 percent.. The following letter aud the answer I have‘given will per- think in terms of food, clothing, housing, recrea- tion, rest and leistirée when we consider the wage problem. There can be no honest questioning of the necessity of providing sanitary, healthful work- shops. So this may be dismissed in any present discussion of labor troubles. Granted the living wage and living hours labor will have little diffi- culty getting working place which measures up to the standards of health and safety labor may deem fit. Labor troubles of the past— and of the pres- ent—may be traced to one or both of these labor demands: Living wages and living hours. Here labor has come into repeated and prolonged con- flict with capital. That is all there is to this much talked of “labor unrest”—merely a demand for a living {wage and living hours, a more exact definition of a square meal and a fair deal. Labor believes it can obtain this deal more quickly by collective bargaining, by the banding together of workingmen into groups which may speak in unison, strive as one man and one mind that labor may climb to the peak of hopes— THE FAIR DEAL AND THE SQUARE DEAL!

WILL ORGANIZE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS IN COUNTY Agricultural College Agent In- teresting Burleigh County Youngsters Several boys and girls clubs will be organized in Burleigh county for next year’s activities and Miss Louise Fitzgerald, in charge of this work from the state agricultural college, was'in Bismarck yesterday attending to the preliminary details. Miss Fitzgerald stated that pig, corn, sheep, bread making, sewing, canning and other clubs would be or- ganized solely with young boys and girls as members. Local businessmen, it is said, have stated their readiness to finance these clube, buying the pigs and sheep and other stock, the club members paying back these sums when they market their products. It is expected that these clubs will be very popular next year and that j the young boys and girls will convince their parents that they, too, can ac- complish a great deal on the farm. Miss’ Fitzgerald said that the enthu- siasm and. interest shown by the younger generation throughout the country in the formation of these clubs were remarkable and that they will undoubtedly be a great success next year. 5 NO SPECIAL SESSION OF WYOMING ASSEMBLY Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 30.—Governor Robert D. Carey has definitely decid- ed to not call a special session of the Wyoming legislature until au- tumn at least. The announcement came as a disappointment to advo- cates of woman suffrage who pressed for early ratification of the federal amendment. Governor Carey held that Wyoming would not delay ratifi- cation but that a winter session would be more generally efrective, RESOLUTION Be It Resolved by the Board of City “{Commissioners of the City of Bis- marck, North Dakota, that it is neces- sery and the Board of City Commis- sioners of the sald city hereby de Cares it to be necessary to construct a sanitary sewer on Raymond Street from Rosser Street to a point seventy- five (7%%5)* feet south of the south line of Avenue A, in Sewer Improvement Districts Numbers One and Two, in ac- ccrdance with the plans, specifications and estimate of cost of T. R.

Dr. ‘Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women’s diseases, He learned*it all through treating thoue sands of cases. The result of his studics was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favor- ite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weak- ening, bearing-down pains, irregularitics, pelvic inflammations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription i3 made of lady’s slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root.. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medi- cine, that whiskey and morphine are in- jurious, and so he has always kept them out of his remedies. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription they are getting a safe woman’s tonic so good that druggists everywhere sell it, in liquid or tablet form. —SO ALLEGED CATTLE RUSTLER CAUGHT IN BRIBE ESSAY Sheriff and Two State’s Attor- neys Witnesses of Proceed- ure of Dickinson pila eS Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 30.—Oscar Repp of Fryburg is under arrest for subordination of perjury in connection ‘|with the cattle stealing cases“in this section and will be given ‘a’ hearing tcday vbefore Judge A. P. Folsom. The warrant is based. on the action of Rapp who is alleged ‘to have given $100 to Al Metzler, one of the con- victed: cattle, thieves, in an effort to persuade Metzler . to. give’. testimony favorable: to -him +at'his hearing. According to Metzler who had been taken to Belfield iast Thursday by the deputy sheriff in order to se- cure further evidence, he Was ap- proached. by Rapp, who, it is said, asked Metzler how much money he would take to not. testify against him. Metzler, according. to his own story, offered to accept $1,000 for the ser- vice, but, the, amount was finally set- tled- at $200. Rapp:..was to come to Ihickinson Saturday and meet Metzler at the Ford Service Station. After his alleged conversation with Rapp, Metzler: returned to Dickinson and notified State’s Attorney J. P. Cain of the arrangement. Mr. Cain at once notified Sol Pomerance, state’s attorney of: Billings county, who is as- sceiated with Mr. Cain in the case, and the latter came here. Together they arranged to trap the Fryburg man. ° According to plans made Metzler ard Rapp met at the Ford Service Station and the former led the other man west until they were just across from the Heaton Lumber Company’s building. In. the phed at this point were secreted the two state’s attorneys and Sheriffl T. N. Hartung, who were watching the two men through cracks in the fence. Rapp was seen to hand over some money to Metzler and then the sheriff stepped out and placed Rapp under arrest. Metzler delivered the money to Mr. Cain, five $20 bills, around which was a rubber band. According to Metzler, that was all the money that Rapp said he could Hoenn be Was searched by ie sheri app had near! 160 in Lig pocket. P ae Mr. Rapp stoutly denied that he had given any money to Metzler but the officers say that they Plainly saw the money passed. The two state’s attorneys J. P, Cain and Sol Pomerance, are develop- ing into regular sleuths, since’ the cattle stealing cases started. Joe Meindl of. Belfield, charged with the theft of five ‘head of cattle from Oscar Indergaard ‘of. Billings county, made a complete ¢onfession to State’s Attorney Sol Pomérance this week’ in which he stated that R. IL. Leeper was sent out to steal five horses from W. T. Hendren of Billings county, at the instigation of Al Hilke, Belfield butcher and that he, himself, round- ed_up two steers for Hilke.
