Conunissions have been appointed to ork toward this end; statesmen have given it their best thought and much j-'ood had been accomplished. In regard to these elfoits there re cently incurred an episode that will 14 o far toward hrinjjin.i; about such an uncUrstaamlini;. Historical com mentate rs wiil probably make no note of it, but it was si.uniikanl nev ertheless. The affair referred to was the physical encounter , anions mem bers of the Japanese parliament dur in a session held early this week. Charges of oilicial misconduct had been preferred, and accused and ac cusers proceeded to argue the mat ter with fisticufiV. Fists had there tofore been considered as weapons belonging; somewhat exclusively to t!ie white man. Toison'or the swift dagger or the1 treacherous arrow, or an impenetrable stocisni were sup posed t lie the proper weapons for other races. fave for the sett Jr.?:. The Japanese episode might have occurred any where in a white man's country. It miiilit have occurred in a village board meeting, or in the Oi.iaha coun cil chamber, or the Douglas county district court, or even in the United States senate chamber in fact.siin- , uar happenings in these bodies are ia matter of record. Certainly the 'affair might have happened in the ! parliament of the newly formed Irish republic, but no one thought it could : happen in the- orient the land of ! calm serenity. But it seems that . male human beings, at all, times and I in all climes, when -siiiariin. under ! a deep personal grievance, have had ;a very human desire to. fe tch blood from some one's nose, j Anyhow, tlfV trick has been turned, i A better understandiusr has been e-- la,llissliei between the white and the yellow race. Henceforth every Amer ican politicianand every American is a potential politician will feel closer to those little Japanese law makers. World-Herald. -:o: A STRIKE FOR HIGH PRICES ? Many prite;sts haic been made of late against frivolous and vexatious strikes on the part of work ingmen. So much inconvenience has been caused by these v;::':euts that it has been se-riously proposed to limit the right to strike, and Kansas already has such a law whi h it is attempt ing to enforce. If it is a punishable offense for labor-to throw down its tools, how are we to deal with the employer win, acting in the same spirit, closes his shop? The American Woolen company, which ha.- shut down mo t of its mills. 'is In politics as well as in busi ness. Its industry is founded on the protective tariff, and its political faith has always been that of the party whose first object is to safe guard and enrich big business. The prese-nt suspension r t operations is explained by an alleged cancellation i f orders for cloth, but me-n in the trade deny that such is the fact, and already associations e.f producers of clothing for men and women are an- nounciiig higher retail price's for thejed to her last long rest. The burial fall and winter and justifying them on the ground that the sunnlv of woolens is to be sh'ort. Practically every iliscu-vion of reta'-dies for high prices e nds with a demand for incre-aseel production. P.esidcs the complaint against strikes, it has been h-ld that labor is dila tory and that, notwithstanding gen erous wages, its product has elimin-i-hed. This is the grievance of such manufae-.turers as have been accused of profiteering, although no proof of it is found in the-ir bks or in the excessive dividends they have been earning. One thir.fr, however, is plain. A labor strike does not. nec essarily stop production. A strike by capital is eertain to elo so. The American Woeden company es- j raped prosecution net long. ago by a judicial ruling that cloth is not clothing in the meaning of the Lever iact. On this technicality a case care- ; fully prepared by tht? department of .justice came to naught. There Is , an intimation that the New England shutdown, throwing tens of thou- sands of people- out or work, was i .vengeful in its inspiration anei m- j tended as a w arning agairst further '. Interference.

Such a policy would come properly under the head of a conspiracy a gainst the public. We have had several outlaw labor strikes that is, strikes entered upon in violation eif contracts and union rules aW with out any well-defined purpose. If the American Woolen company's shut down. is intended to intimidate the government and perpetuate extor tion, it also is an outlaw strike. The people are t he "principal victims. The 1 xked-out mill operatives may find work at big wages elsewhere, but with a prearranged scarcity of cloth the consumer will pay the m v levy or practice self-denial. Xew York World. ' . , :o: FAIR PLAY FOR MR. WILSON Is it too much to hope that Presi dent Wilsein may now get fairer treatment from his political oppo nents? lie will have bul eight months more in ollice. During that period would, it not be decent to let up 'll the ferocity of attacks upon him?' No one will ask republicans to like him personally or to approve of him politically. Let them cherish to the ir heart's content their private hate of the mau and their intense hostility to the policies of the presi dent. I!ut he is chief magistrate of the United States. He has for near ly a year been lighting for his life i:i the grip of a dangerous illness, lie has borne his suffering without complaint, yet during that time the public attitude of his enemies to ward him has. been brutal in the ex treme. Isn't it time for a diiTerent feeling to show itself? Mr. Wilson's work is' virtually done. Kve:i if it be thought to be ending in bitter dis appointment, he is entitled to the consideration due not only tei his of fice but tt a tragic figure. Let no one think that his clear mind was not aware of what was eotning. Mr. Creel has jut published .words which the president uttered on his way home from France: "It is to America that the whole world turns today, not only with its wrongs, but with its hopes and grievances. The- hungry txpe'Ct u : to feetl them, "the roofless look to us lor shelter, the sick of heart and body elepend upon us ftr cure. All of these expectations have in them the quality of terrib'e urgency. There must be no delay. "It has been so always. People will endure their tyrants for years, but they tear their deliverers to pieces if a millennium is not creat ed immediately. Yet you know that tliese ancient .wrenigs, these present tinhappir.esses, are not to he remedied in a day or with a waive of the hand. "What I seem to see with all my heart I hope that I am wrong is a tragedy of disappoint nfe-nt." If any do pot perceive in this both clairvoyance and dignity, there i-; no use in arguing the point with them. Hut frem now on the president de serves, if not kindly treatment, at least decent, consideration and fair play. Xew York Times. : o : QUIET FUNERAL SERVICES KrcTii Motelay'.s iailv.

HORSE- BADLY CUT BY FALL Specialist's Prescription Serves to Prevent Complications. In tcllinir ef the accident to hi? herse, Mr. Luther Carmen of Valley Park, Mo., stated: "My horse fell down rod cut lus kimes all up. I d rested them with Dr. LeGear's Anti septic Healing Powder and they are healing fine. It is a wonderful rem edy for healing seires on horses." Mr. Carmen is simply voicing the sentiments of hundreds of others who feel that having Dr. LeGear's personal prescriptions on hand at all times is nearly as good as having Dr. LeGear where they could reach him in a few minutes. Wounds and sores hiust lie taken caro of immediately. Get a can of Dr. LeGear's Antiseptic Healing Powder from your elealer.x Dust on enough of it to cover the wound or Bore.

Editeir eif Journal: While recently looking over some hoarded relics I found among them the enclose,! menu of a game supper given on October oO. 1S75 under the auspices of the I'lattsniouth Sports man's Club which was in existance at that time and e)f which I was a member. As an occurrance of nearly a half century ago I decided it might be an item of interest to those of your readers who were, at that time conversant with parsing events in IMattsmout h, and more e.-'pecially to any existing members eif the club who may see the item.

The suppers were a seejuel to the clubs annual hunts which usually were held in the fall of the year when the wild water fowls from the north mad-' a brief stop on the near by lakes and ponds while .winging their way southward and when other kinds ef game was plontiful. Preparatory to taking a hunt the club was divided into two companies each eif which was in charge of a captain. A day for starting and the length of time the hun,t should continue, which was usually two days, was ar- nnrpil :itwl nnein the return of the companies, the game brought in by each was counted and the one hav- I ing the smallest amount was selected to pay for the feast. Those hunt--, with their accom oanvinir social wind up. were always looked forward to by those concerned with much anticipated enjoyment. Among the leading and most en thusiastic members of that old asso ciation were Dr. II. It. Livingston. Judge S. M. Chapman, Attorney Geo. Smih, Hon. Orlando Teft, Hon Frank E. White, Dr. Fricke. W.

We of that old class. of Niinrods who still survive the cycle of time could treasure these days of sport and pleasure as a sweet memory were it not we sadly realize that at least a majority of that . jovial band has passed beyond the Great Divide to a happier hunting ground.
