PRAISE FOR THE STANDARD
Kind words for the Standard Oil
Company have been few and far be
tween in the columns of American
newspapers in the past. Justly or
unjustly, that great organization has
bene generally looked upon as one of
sinister import.
It is interesting, therefore, to note
the almost unanimous commenda
tion by influential newspapers of the
Standard’s recent adoption of the
eight-hour day for its oil fi e 1 d
workers in the mid-continent field.
Until this step was taken by the
Standard, the twelve-hour day had
been universal in the oil fields, where
the work of drilling goes on day and
night. Under the newr plan, three
shifts must be employed, instead of
two.
In adjustng the wages to meet the
change in hours, workers who for
merly received $12 a day for twelve
hours now receive $10 for eight
hours; those receiving a different
wage being subject to a correspond
ing adjustment. The plan was put
into effect with the approval of the
workmen.
Following closely the abandonment
of the twelve-hour day in the steel in
dustry, this innovation confirms the
trend of industrialism to a greater
solicitude for the welfare of em
ployes.
Even a stingy man is usually quite
liberal with his advice.

Liberty in these United States
consists principally in the freedom
to cuss because we have so little
liberty.
Now Turkey wants a navy. Will
1 those heathen never learn that only
Christian nations should be permitted
to have navies?
An exchange says: “Ray Harper
was married last week. We didn’t
get the lady’s name, but no matter,
it Harper now. ’
That Scott divorce seems to have
developed the fact that a good many
Congressmen still drink liquor. Who’d
have thought it?
A well known soap is 99.44 per
cent pure and floats. Bootleg liquor
is 99.44 per cent impure and will
make your head swim.

AIN’T IT THE TRUTH!
E. H. Ervin, of New York, regis
j tered at the Van Gilder handed out
the following to the newspaper aboard
the steamer Yukon:
See Alaska First.
Alaska is known as America’s last
frontier, but to the present traveler
it does not hold the hardship that it
i did to the traveler of the Gold rush
days. Fine ships, hotels and the
most modern railroads make one’s
trip to Alaska a pleasant memory.
While the scenery on the trip from
Juneau to Seward alone surpasses
anything Europe has to offer, no one
can say they have seen Alaska who
has failed to take the trip to Fair
banks. Game in abundance, fish of
many kinds, scenery, sunsets, Au
rora Borealis, anything and every
thing to attract and hold your inter
est. Any one that has seen Alas
ka can truly say they have seen the
finest thing this ■world has to offer.
Upon approaching Seward with its
big welcome sign brings one’s thot
back to home.
If men wear it, we have it. TJrbach.
