Printers Unions and a Moral

~ !. urapnlc.l
The action of the Boston Post in summs-
rily discharging its force OF compositors ON
account Of their connection with the Prin-
ters' Union, and entering into q contract
with non union men, has made brief SEN
sstion among the craft. The Post explains
that il had determined to manage Its own
business on its own terms, and to submit I O
longer TO the dictarjon of the uuion-which
step there is no question of its perfect
right TO take. Not many yesrs ago there
was hardly prominent newspaper office in
the United States that was not under the
control of the National Printer Union
This society made its own prices and con-
dit ons, and the newspaper proprietor had
no option ut comply with them or have
trouble. Time has changed all that. But
two important newspaper offices in this city
now employ union men, all Others being in
dependent. In England and Scotland all
the large journals have refused to submit to
the unions, employing whom they please
and paying such prices as they can afford,
thus placing the industry of type setting
where it should be, on par with other vo
cations which are regulated by the laws Of
trade and not by the srbiirerv rules of
combinations of employees. The LON
don Times, which will have
nothing whatever 10 do with the unions,
pay its printers excellent wages, provides
them library and convenience, pensions
them of when they become supsrsnuated
and thus renders their status much better
than under the arrangement whereby tney
undertook TO press their own interests BY
dogmstic resolutions and threats of strikes
The moral of the whole business ia that in
this age OF enlightened self-seeking, capital
is not the deadly enemy Of labor that dema
gogues often insist that it is, and that the
men who do their best to identify their own
interests with these of their employers will
in the end earn the most money and secure
the most stable situations. Organized bull
ly Raging does not pay, no matter BY what
fine phrases it is called, and newspaper
proprietors can be trusted not to imperil
their own prosperity by starving their
workmen. A mutual good understanding
is always best, and this can invariably be
secured by the exercise of few grains of
common sense

An Honest hoy.

Yesterday afternoon "A fourteen yearsold
boy, William a. Black burn by name, made n
rich find OF "a pocket book containing 1920 in
currency in an clubhouse on the Atlantic
House premises. The boy is stranger here,
a young tramp, who has strayed all the way
from Lock Haven, Pa. Instead of conceal
IL g his prize and fastening awsy, he took IL
To the clerk of the hotel and told where he
bad found il. The owner of the money. a
gentleman from sumner county. Kansas,
soon discovered his loss. He was buying a
N of goods OF McPike x Fox, and when he
went to pay for 1t he found that he had lost
hts roll Hs at once hurried To the hotel and
made inquiry, and his property was
returned 10 him intact, and the story of the
way 10 was { und told To him Overcome by
this act of honesty in the youth. the gener-
Gus and grateful man gave the boy hve dol
lars and left fifty more on deposit for him

mention. Mr.. W {. VI 'Pise hard of IL, and
Ut once sought out the boy. His parents are

When jeersd at by some bystanderS for not

bravely said that his mother had taught him
that 'nesty II the best policy, and he fol-
lowed her teachiu y. Mr.. McPike Is pleased
with the boy appearance and manner, and

old Manhattan & Northwestern, and the
odd Pleasant Hill route, which latter has
Just been purchased by the Atchison, Tope-
ka and Santa Fe which is to be operated
by that road, aod the Carbonate road,

In the manufacturing line, too, Ksnssf
has made wonderful progress. and there are
now millions OF dollars invested in those
industries whose products find q marset in
every part Of the world. Push, energy, en-
terpris and pluck are Characteristic not
only of the Kansas bueiness m an, but of the
manufacturer and farmer, and the result is
that our State is rapidly making her way
to the front rank of States in everything
In 1850 Kansas will have q population O..
nearly q million and will be entitled to
eight congressman; her grain surplus will
he nearly suficien, TO supply any OF the
nations of Continental Europe, and her
railroad system will be 40 perfected that
there will be very few of her counties
which will be devoid Of the beet market
! facilities. The public school system
of the State Is as complete as that OF Mas
sachusetis, and in some counties where the
Indians and buffalo have just departed
nearly every district will be found to have
a coed and substantial school house. The
principal attraction Kansas possesses for
the immigrant is that no matter in what
part OF the State he may settle he will lind
educational facilities for his children, and
t.has been the subject OF remark more
than once that the first building which
strikes the eve of the traveller and stranger
when coming into a Ksnsas town is the
school house. The future of Kansas is a.
sured; she is no longer classed among the
"new" and sfsr western" States, tor she has
made record which not only entities her
to take place among the older States but
places her far ahead Of many OF them; she
il the great eranary of the west and her
possibilities for the future will always
make her so; she has yet a sufficient terri
tory of unoccupied land TO offer homes to
hundreds of thousands from the overcrowed
East aud Europe, and extends the hand OF
cordial welcome to all who choose to come

people support him in one capacity or an.
other. He holds the position of Congress
man while he ie . candidate for the posi-.
ton of Governor. As between these two,
he would. of course, prefer to be Congress
msn; but he wants to be either Senator or
Vice President, and, should he be elected
Governor, will confidently expect to be one
or the other. He represents the element of
sel6shness in politics more than any man
now before the public. 1t is not many
years since he Was Radical of the Radi-
Gals, seeking the Kansas Senatorship. He
is now ors of the accepted lights of Democ-
racy, aud he could not, TO save his life,

thes bleed flowed freely from a corpse
and followed the knife. 1t is intended to
prove That 1t was case Of suspended AMI
nation from suffocatiou, and Cox's attor-
ney says he has a surgeons affidavit
that Mrs. Hull was not dead at the
time when she was so considered.
Also, that deaths by drowning and sufcca-
ion have many points OF similarity, and, al
90, suspended animation in bath. There is
something decidedly new and refreshing in
this defense, and quite out of the ordinary
hackneyed routine, and the verdict will be
anxiously and expectsntly looked forward
to. Certain it il that Cox is the hero Of
the hour in New York, and il evidently not
laboring under any immediate fear Of the
rope. Ordinary people will be very apt to
think that the theory Is not good one, and
that Cox is simply brutal murderer, who
entered his victims house to rob her and
when she awote and made noise, killed
her the more itrctuslly to escape detection
OF his crime Mrs. Hull may possibly have
been killed 10y the surgeons at the autopsy,
but certsi it ia that Cox is the one who
will be tried for the murder, with the
chances largely in favor OF the acquittal Of
the former.
In the case of Buford, the plea of insan.
ity is set up, and the dispatches state that
the friends of the murderer are very
hopeful. The dispatches fail to scqusint

Col. Eaton Has Got il Rad.

L
The Lesvenworth kansss) TINES a few
days ago, published an account of a very
emarkable occurrence, nothing less than
the marriage in the spirit world of adaugh-
ter Of Colonel Isaac E Eaton, Ia member of
the Democratic National Committed to
Benjamin Pierce, a son OF President Frank
lin Pierce. President Pierce's son was killed
in railroad accident twenty-six years ago.
and Col Eston's daughter, Catherine, died
in infancy IN 1915. The spirits announced
to the brides f-ther that the wedding was
to take place, and asked him to prepare a
supper for the bride and groom, which he
did, fitting up a closet in his house as
cabinet for the purpose, and spreading
table for his two spirit guests, who
ate heartily of the delica-
cies prepared for them. Notwith-
standing the spirit bride was only seven
weeks old when she left this world, her
father had no difficulty in recognizing her,
and the son of President Pierce was also
easily identified. Since the publication re-
ferred to, Col. Eaton has furnished to the jour
nal named detailed account of the event
and some remarkable spirit correspondence
in reference to the match, in which the
spirit of Emanuel 6~edepborg seems to
have played an important part. We have
waded through several columns Of this
spirit correspondence, in the hopes of com.
ing across something tangible, but the only
passage with any de6niteness is contained
in an answer from the great theologue,
Swedenborg, to Col. Eaton's inquiry as to
the doings Of the people in the epirIt land,
which We give as follows:
AZ to the occupations of the inhabitants
of this world they are a. real and useful, |
and more 90 than those of earth life. For
this is the reality, that the earth life Is but |
the shadow Of this, the spirit. Their senaes
are BY far the more acute and refined. We
eat or drink, or what answers to that. We |
labor simply for the pleasures it gives ua
