 The EPITAPH is not in the habit of changing its opinion to suit circum- stances. We still think the confirmation of Governor Zulick by the Senate a mis- take. Fortunately, however, for Arizo. na, the governor has very little power.

The mechanic has come very promi- nently to the front, of late years. In al. most all the strikes and other labor troubles it is the mechanic who is at the bottom of it. One would almost imagine that our existence depended upon the mechanic. As fact, however, he is merely an incident in our existence. Agri- culture is the basis of our life to-day, as it always has been, and will be. When the mechanic stops work, we are incon- venenced, it IS true, but, should the farmer strike, we would have to cease living. The agrculturalis;s far outnum- Der other classes. Agricultural laborers work long hours for very moderate pay Yet one never hears of a strike among farm hands. II the work don't suit them, in one place, they go somewhere else. It is the same with the clerks and merchants assistants. There are to-day many men, of frst,cla ability and edu- cation, working in our large cities for a mere pittance. They don't strike. They take what they can get, until they can see something better in view. This is a free country. No man is forced to work for another, longer than he pleases. It is about time that the undHe pretentions of the mechanic should be gently but firmly sat down upon. He has the same rights as any other member of society,
