The names of our! leading establishments and of the men who found- ed them or direct them are better known than the names of jurists and statesmen. Henee, naturally but incuriously, many grow up with a vagae no- tion that from the beginning a manufacturing class or ven a caste ruled the country, and ‘dat commerce and agriculture were forced to when it said “Go” and to come when it said “Come.” | We know such names as Carnegie, Disston, Bald-| win, Schwab, Ford, and Packer, as possibly bet-| ter than we know the name of any representative of the agricultural interest. But who can offhand | name twenty or ten manufacturers of the young) republic. Of the first five presidents four were| southern planters, and the other was the son of} a Massachusetts farmer. A country lawyer in! those days generally had land of his own. Thomas H Benton was early schooled to the la- bors of the field. Physicians were apt to speak! of their crops. Almost invariably the country pastor was more or less of « farmer; or if he be-| came a circuit rider he passed from farm to farm! over a distance of from 50 to 200 miles. No ocru-| pation today has or can have the pre-eminence | that agriculture had in the first thirty years of the republic. Half a century after Washington's death, yes,| and half a decade later the issue on which the sharpest words were said was—should the planter who bought his laborers or the farmer who paid] wages rule in the territories? The under! struggle was between two landed interests—making allowance for homestead laws and measures to increase the number of Iand owners. One landed interest was eager to secure a higher boundary line The Casper Tribune’s Program Irrigation project west of Casper to be authorized and completed at once. 2 A complete and scientific zoning system for the city of Casper.

More equitable freight rates for shippes of the Rocky Mountain region, and more frequent train serv- ice for Casper. Wake Up! T do you expect to do about the matter? Think and act for yourself or have your boss, your wife or somebody else perform this function for you? Are you going to write your own life's story of action arid accomplishment or have it done from the viewpoint of another with none of your own originality in its pages? Lots of others do it. Take the line of least re- sistance. Have another make decisions for them down to the purchase of a necktie or a pair of socks. ‘That sort stay in the rut, never climb out and wake up knowing but one thing—the thing they do day after day just like a piece of machinery does things. Don’t stand still, stop growing or lose run of tiie ‘world, simply because your work is of such nature that you are not brought into contact with pecple and things to arouse an interest in something be- side the daily grind in which you are engaged. If your ambition ends with the securing of a job whereby you can make a living, then you might as well quit where you began. The more you learn, the more you find out about the general purpose of your employment the more valuable you are to your employer and the more qualified you are to be advanced to something better. No one ever heard of an employer holding a man back who had the ahead stuff in him. There are always places higher up waiting for the qualified man to fill them. You get to the top by assuming req poaie bo thinking for yourself and executing diligently. A fellow with an equipment of that sort cannot be held back by anyh Messrs. Kicker and Knocker. the kicker or the knocker, had at the end of his program of objection and destruction any- thing of a constructive nature to offer in its stead he would be welcome in many places where things are going forward. But so long as 90 per cent of the kickers and knockers build their cases on preju-| dice, ignorance, jealousy, stubborness or pure orn- eryne@s where is any good reason for tolerating them? « Is life long enough and is worthy accomplish- ment of so little importance, that time can be wast- ed and achievement retarded to gratify the fellow ‘who has nothing better than kicks to offer? That being the casc, let the parade proceed with- ‘out reference to Messrs. Kicker and Knocker. No ‘man ever succeeded without d brush with these gen- ‘tlemen and it has come to be one of the rules of success to first put Kicker and Knocker down and out. i. They may return later to irritate and annoy but if you are going at a pretty good gait they can do no harm. If these two sports could only’ realize the real place they occupy in the everyday affairs, the small space required for the purposes of living, moving and having their being they could take no pride in themselves, and possibly would be less noisy. Their existence would never be known in the first place but for the forbearance of those whose noise really counted. 5 It is, of course, disagreeable to the unselfish per- son who launches a worthy enterprise to have the} objector and criticiser bob up for the sole purpose of spraying the project with ice water and because he does not admire the style of haircut worn by} the projector. The animus very quickly becomes! obvious and theu the victory that follows is all the sweeter. . Maybe we pay. too much attention to kickers. Possibly we should not be irritated. But it is a hard matter to be patient with folks who kick and| growl without reason. You simply cannot help consigning them to their proper destination. Some day, may be, thege will be a real nice world without kickers. ——_9_—__—______.

The other repealed the Missouri Compromise aud thought of re-opening the African slave trade. Forcible if coarse was the speaker who said to congress, “The real fight is over land for the land- less, or niggers for the niggerless.” It was on the free soil issue that the Democratic party, resistless when united, brake in twain in 1848 and broke aj} wider cleavage in 1860, When that cleavage came! one landed interest rallied around Abraham Lin- coln who had sought to be Commissioner of. the Completion of the established Scenic Route bowe |i rand Office, and the other around Jefferson Davis who was a planter to the end of his days | This is not a philosophic deduction; it is a state-| ment of elementary facts known to at jeast 999 out! of every thousand of;native born voters and yet} forgotten because somebody says that he read that somebody thought that a manufacturer's combina-} tion had always been in the saddle. Well known as it is that our first tariff act was introduced by James Madison, and signed by George Washington, both Virginia planters, it is not always said that unless such a measure had been supported by a powerful agricultural interest it could not have passed. Look then at the first great champion of protection, Alexander Hamilton -—a gallant aide, a lawyer of distinction, a publicist of unsurpassed ability, but a man whose political status was higher because he was the son-in-law of a well-known landed proprietor. Note how gravely Hamilton discusses the question whether mann- fxeturers would draw too many laborers from the soil, and how respectfully he meets all who dwell on the importance of opening new lands to the plow. Co-Operation in Industry. FRIENDLY sympathetic relation between em =* ployers and employes is an asset and not a gratuity. It is an asset to both parties—to the employe it brings the largest yearly income and most regular employment.,To the employer it brings a surer if not a larger profit—it brings a feeling of safety as an investment, and to both sides a feeling of satisfaction. Radicals have prevented the fruition of many ef- forts in this diection and frequently have turned the good intentions of the employer who has faith- fully and earnestly tried to establish better rela- tions into an attitude of animosity because his best efforts have been nullified and his best intentions misrepresented. To urge repeated efforts upon both sides—to set high the example of successful industrial co-opera- tion, to continuously point out the advantage of hurmonious relations both from the standpoints of humanism and profit should be the aim of all con- cerned either as workers or executors. It might as well be said that because jails and prisons are necessary in the final treatment of jcriminals that the building and support of schools jand churches should be abadoned. The school and the church, like the movement for industrial co-operation, are the means by which hu- manity is brought by education and religious influ- ence to serve the higher impulse of humanity. When these have entirely failed, the prison is a part of necessary discipline and public protection. When Industrial Co-operation fails, disputes affecting the public peace, welfare and morals should be made subject to judicial determination. Who Are the Real? 'HE ATTEMPTS of radicals and professional politicians to discredit employers, property- owners, investors and taxpayers by classifying them as “Wall Strect” interests, regardless of their residence, and by including employes, transients and non-taxpayers in the term “Home Folks” irre- spective of their standing, responsibilities, or cou- tributions to the welfare, progress, and -govern- ment of the community in which they live, are not as effective in influencing an enlightened public:as the propagandists have intended they should be. The public recognizes the fact that the business of mining, for example, necessitates the presence of mine executives at the important commercial and financial centers. The public also knows that the great mining and industrial enterprises of the country have stockholders located in every commu- nity and village in the United States far remote from Wail Street. The public also knows that the executives, owners, and stockholders of these enter- prises are representative citizens who do not shirk their just obligations to community or govern- ment The public knows these things because the same owners, operators, and investors constitute a large integral part of the public. The term “Wall Street,” as applied to employers and investors in the mining industry, as well as other industries, is a misnomer, because these same classes are “Home Folks” who are interested in the prosperity of the communities in which their en-! terprises are located, since that prosperity is large ly essential to and dependent upon the success of these enterprises. Therefore, let us have no more of these attempted divisions into classes, but rather the recently enacted tariff law were framed with due regard for their interest. But to say that for the first time their welfare was considered is} 2 gross mis-statement of facts. That such a state-| ment can be made shows only too plainly that’ the very beginning of our economic history is un- let us consider both employers and employes inte- gral parts of the great commercial and industrial enterprises of our nation. Let us regard these classes in their, relation to the whole scheme of national industrial development and’ progress, and not as independent groups with conflicting interests} which must be dealt with separately.

Learn to Like NE Food. | When you were a child-and your mother gave you something to eat) which you didn’t like and told you that you could learn to like it if you; would let yourself yow didn't be- eve her. You don't believe her yet. And probably she Cidn’t believe it herself. Yet it is true, as can be! proved. 4 Yes, you say, it can be proved if a man will mortgage twenty or thirty years of his life to do it in. You re- member when you were a little child the sight of stewed prunes gave you fits, while now you can weather a dish of them and hardly look sad. But you remember that it has taken a quarter of a lifetime to soften your antagonism, and you figure that at the prevailing rate it will take about a lifetime and a half more before you wil walk up to a prune the way you @o to an ice cream soda, and you allow shat it isn't worth it—you would rather go hungry.

A little ad in the “Christmas Gift Suggestions” col- umns of this mewspaper’s Alphabetical Classified Sec- tion will ring the bell of your cash register— And keep it ringing from December Ist to the 24th. Our representative will call to tell you how to start Last year thirty million tons of raw ials were fed into the portland ce- ment mills of this country, and the finished product came out in approximately 400 million sacks. To han- dle all this material thro: the long process of pulver- izing, burning, and pulver- izing again, with such care that a haridful taken at ran- dom from any sack would ea telat eneenecinx tions ing engineering societies and the Govern- ment—that was the manu- facturers’ task. Materials must be handled in great quantities in a cement plant, other- wise the cost (less now per pound than that of any comparable man- ufactured product) would be pro- hibitive. The product must be uni- form and of high quality, for the permanence of great structures, and even life itself, depends on it. This great task is simplified by years of study and experi- mentation in quality control. But it still calls for constant routine testing by highly skilled artisans and chemists. Take the cement plant chemist, for instance. Workmen guided by his instructions proportion the various raw materials a ton or more at a time. The tests which he makes to determine these pro- portions must be so precise that the glass enclosed balance used for weighing is accurate to the nearest ten thousandth of a gram. There are 454 gramstothe pound. Such a balance will quickly detect the difference in weight of a piece of paper before and after you have written your name on it. Few industrial products require as great carein their manufacture as portland cement and few get it so uniformly. The guiding hand of the chemist and his assistants is seen and felt at every point in the process of manufacture—in the quarry or pit where the raw materials are obtained—in the grinding depart- ment where the raw materials are proportioned, mixed and ground —in the burning department where under intense heat the chemical transposition takes place —in thefinished grinding depart- ment where the raw materials now transformed into clinker be- come the fine powder we call portland cement. Some tests are made every 15min- utes—some hourly. Some samples are being taken continuously with automatic samplers—others are snatched at random from the conveyors. Whatever experience dictates is necessary to insure uni- a: and high quality—that is e.
