OUR DUTY TO ACT.

The members of the Alliance all over
the State are practically a unit for our
demands. Yes, we are a unit for the
principles but unity of
thought amounS&S86 nothing without
unity of action. Therefore we must
act as a unit in getting our principles
enacted into law. Without unity we &C
complishn nothing; with unity, we are in
vincitle. Then in what way shall we
act? By what method of action shall
we secure these reforms? In short, in
what way should every true reformer
act? Beyond any question, it is our
duty to follow the plan that is the
surest, quickest and best way to Sc
cure u reforms. Who is to decide
which is the surest. quickest and best
way to winG The majority of those
who favor reform. A majority of the
counties have already decided that it

THE COAL

The promoters of the coal combine
are still hard at work trying to effect
the scheme for robbery by raising the
price from SO cents to 81 on the ton.
The Reading Railroad Company is
largely interested in coal mines. 1t
would be vastly benefited. The Penn
syIvania Railroad is fighting the Read
ing Company. The Reading Company
is trying to reduce the wages of it's en-
ployees, but they are organized and
will resist to the last.

get u over. Every American citizen
has a right to go into the primaries of
any party, if he does SO in good faith;
that is if he intends to stand by the re-
suits. Mark it, some of these very
men who are trying to keep Alliance
men out of the primaries will be the
first men to bolt if things do not go to
suit them. We will go into the pri-
maries, and no man living dares to
question our motives.

X. Our neighbor, the State Chronicle,
thinks that the editorial, "How is this
for Fairness9" in our last issue places
it in a false position. This certainly
was not our intention. We simply
wished to show that when any other
fertilizer company made goods that
we're below the guarantee the papers
were not informed-no names were
given. But when the Durham Fertil-
izer Company was in trouble the papers
were informed of all the particulars
and they published them under big
headlines. AS to who is to blame for
this the reader a easily guess.
~ The politicians are having a great
deal of trouble trying to decide who
has a right to go into the primaries.
One of them says: mo man is eligi-
BILE unless he has always voted the
straight Democratic ticket" Another
says: "No one is eligible unless he is
going to stand by not only what this
convention does, but what every other
one does that has the same kind of a
label on it." Now simply enforce these
absurd statements and no party would
ever be able to gain a single vote. We
thought that the great desire of every
party was to gain votes and grow
stronger. Away with such bosh! Any
man has a right to go into the pri
maries who does so III good faith.
- ~ Wonder if the "good Demo
Gratis" who are so much opposed to the
Alliancemen going into the primaries,
will be good enough Democrats to
stand by the action of the conventions
Such men as DR.. Kingsbury, Joe Cald
we'll, Jude Carroll & Go. say that they
will not stand by the action of the con
venJion unless it writes the kind of
a platform and dominates the kind of
men they prefer. Then according to
Chairman Smiths ruling, these men
are read out and cannot go into the
primaries But since Chairman Smith
has no authority to read anybody out
Of the primaries or right to question
the motives of any citizen of the State,
he can't keep these men out. We are
so glad, for it would have been a pity
to have lost them.
<*+* A brother writing from Salem
wants to know if the platform as pub
lished in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is
the correct copy Of the st. Louis plat
form. It is. The resolution which vas
published in the first issue of this paper
after the st. Louis platform was sent
out by the associated press as a part
of the platform was not in it.
1t has been published by reform
papers as such, as we'll as in
secular papers. But the committee on
platform never put the resolution in it.
Several others have been published as
part of it when they are not. There is
no more sense in publishing it as a part
of the platform than to say that a bill
that was introduced in Congress and
never passed, is a law On our statute
books-the free coinage bill, for in
stance.

Tia Origin of Hnn Il l IL m.

An old resident of San Francisco says
great deal of time has been wasted in
searching for the derivation of the word
"hoodlum, and it has been credited 20
many different languages, but all the
derivations given are wrong.
Some twenty or twenty-five years ago
there lived in that section of San Fran
cisco known as the Barbar Coast a
couple by the name of Houghlihan,
who were blessed with family of boys
who were the terror of that unsavory re-
gion; ignorant, brutal young toughs.
whose sole pastime was tormenting,
abusing and beating all the other young
sters in the neighborhood They were
30 much dreaded by the neighbors that
when they were seen approaching chill
dren were called indoors and kept there
till they had gone to safe distance;
and it was easy to know when they were
in sight by hearing women calling:
Patsy, Mary Ann, come in; the
Houghlihans is commit"
The o was dropped in the haste Of
calling the young ones, and after little
the name, a somewhat difficult one tc
pronounce at the best, was in the mouths
of the Germans. Italians, Chinese, and
natonalities residing on the Barh"r
Coast, corrupted into "hoodlums," anc
the Houghlihan boys and their assoc
ciates became generally known as the

He Got q Wife,

When man is in deadly earnest about
securing employment he will not let such
q small obstacle as the lack of wife
stand in his way.
At least such is the fact in regard to q
certain section foreman on the Columbia
and Puget Sound road. He applied for
the position to Assistant Superintendent
McCabe, and his answers to that gentle.
mans queries were all satisfactory until
the question came:
Are you married. We want mar
ried man to take this position, SO that his
wife can take care Of the section house. ="
The man acknowledged that he still
wandered in the wilderness of celibacy,
and Mr.. McCabe said in peculiar way:
well you may have the job if you can
get married in time. Hurry up and
I'll give you passes for the half-past five
train.
1t was then half-past four, and it
seemed pretty short notice, but some
men get through great deal of business
in an hour. Before the time had arrived
for the train to leave the applicant re-
turned, accompanied by blushing bride,
and said:
well, I've got wife. Will you give
me those passes?"
Filled with admiration at the mans
readiness Of resource, Mr.. McCabe gave
him the passes, and the happy couple left
on their honeymoon.
