THE PRINTERS HOME
A Splendid Dedication Of an
Elegant Resting Place.

She Gift of Two Noble-Hearted
Men of America Address by
George w. ChiIds, Governor
Routt Of Colorado ana Others.
CoLoRADo SPRINGS, May 12.-The Childs-
Drexel home for printers will be dedicated
here today with appropriate ceremonies.
The building is located a mile from the
city on an elevation which commands
view ofthe Garden of the Gods, Pixies peak,
Manitou and Cheyenne canons. 1t is
built of white lava stone with red sand
stone trimmings, four stories high, IA by
40 feet in width, has all modern convent
ences, and cost $4,000. It is a gift of
George w. Childs and A. J. Drexel, of
Philadelphia, to the International Typo
graphical Union. The rooms in the build
ing are. furnished by the unions in St.
Louis, Chicago, San Francisco, New York
and one by the Chicago Inter Ocean. A
gathering of fine library has already be-
gun. At the dedication today Hon. Iva
g. Sprague, Mayor Of Colorado Springs
delivered an address of welcome on behalf
of the city, in which he spoke in eulogy of
printers and the printing trade, instancing
many illustrations Of men, beginning with
Horace Greeley, who had been printers.
Governor John u. Routt delivered an ad-
dress of welcome on behalf of the state,
congratulating Colorado on being chosen
by the donors as the site for the building
and the donors for having selected the most
suitable spot in the country. Hon. Geo.
w. Childs, one of the co-donors Of the in
stitution, spoke briefly saying; 'Forty-one
years ago, the International Typographical
Union was established. The printers
union have not only spread the light Of edu-
cation and reason over this vast continent,
but they have given to labor higher dig
nifty, broader independence, and all those
qualities which render it Of the greatest
worth" The speaker continued saying he
had been more or less intimately associa-
ted with printers from boyhood, naturally
sympathized with them and what little he
had been able to do, he expressed respect
and admiration, for it had honored him
more in the giving than the craft in receiY-
ing. Printers were not indebted to him
but he to them.

THE TURNCOAT.

The Portland Press makes good point
when it says that one of the cheapest and
easiest ways to acquire fame is to change
your politics a few weeks before presi-
dental election, and write letter giving
your views on the subjects before the
country. You are certain to have honor
able prefxed to your name, and to be de-
scribed as person of high standing, and
of wide influence, and the prediction will
be made that large number of other
people, in consequence of your great in
fuence, will follow your example.
But "Oh, what difference in the morn
ing," that is, the morning after election,
when the politicians have no further use
for the name or the fame of the turncoat.
Then he is dropped like hot potato. He
and his action, which were before election
called honorable, are, after election, looked
on as something less than honorable. The
politicians who were 80 respectful to him,
80 glad to welcome him into their party
and to hint at some reward in the way of
Office, are not go respectful, and they for

MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO VOTE.
Election day is at hand. A week from
next Tuesday is the day. We wish to call
the attention of our readers to the i'm
portance of voting. Every voter should
make up his mind to vote and so arrange
his affairs as to be able to carry out his in
tention. One vote is sometimes very i'm
portant. A recent election in England, in
which the liberals lost seat in the house
of commons by margin of three votes in
a total of 5000, has very pertinently been
brought forward as timely matter for the
consideration of American voters, for there
will undoubtedly be hundreds and thou
sands of cases in the coming election in
which one party or the other will gain or
lose member of congress, a member of
the State legislature or some other Office
by the margin of but a handful of votes.
The two parties are now 30 evenly balanced
in the nation and in many of the States
that this is bound to happen.
Therefore consider the Importance of
your vote and make up your mind to vote
and to be at the polls early.

SFREEL AND.5

Those who think it possible to make iv-
ing in this world an easy and a cafe matter,
and who look to some form Of socialism to
do the business. are interested in DR..
Hertzka's "Freeland' scheme, which aims
to solve some very difficult and distressing
problems: DR.. Hertzks thinks a society
can be formed based on the right of the
worker to the profit, the division of the
profit in proportion to the amount of
work contributed, and freedom of contract
in view of special efficiency of labor. The
whole of the means of labor are accessible
to every one. No one is forced to place
his higher capabilities ct the disposal of
others, but they find adequate recompense
in the way of freedom of contract, where
they are needed in the guidance and di
rection of production. The public law of
ssFreeland" is to be in substance as fol-
lows: 1. Every inhabitant of Freeland
has an equal and inslienable claim upon
the whole of the land and upon the means
of production accumulated by the COM
munity. 2. Women, children, old men
and men incapable of work have right to
competent maintenance fairly proper
tionate to the level of the average wealth
of the community. 3. No one can be hind
cred from the active exercise of his own
free individual will SO long as he does
not infringe upon the rights of
others. 4. Public affairs are to be
administered as shall be deter
mined by all the adult (above 90 years of
age) inhabitants of Freeland, without dis
tinction of sex, who shall all possess an
equal active and passive right of vote and
of election in all matters that affect the
commonwealth. 5. Both the legislative
and executive authority shall be divided
into departments, and in such manner
that the whole of the electors shall choose
special representatives for the principal
public departments, who shall give their
decisions separately and watch over the
doings of the administrative boards of the
respective departments.
"Freeland" is attracting much attention
in Europe. Associations have been formed
in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfort,
Stockholm and many other towns on the
continent, and the members count noble
men, gentlemen of independent means,
bankers, lawyers, merchants, manufactur-
ers, physicians and engineers, as well as
representatives of the working classes,
among their associates. Subscriptions
have already been collected to defray the
cost of preliminary expedition to select
the proper route and the most suitable
place for settlement in Equatorial Africa,
and an effort is now making to give the
movement an international character by
inviting English and Americans to join,
and, perhaps, take the lead of the expedi.
ton, in which the English will be recog
nized as the official language.
It would be fine thing if we could al
have our share of the good things going
and be free, equal and oontented. Blu
human nature and the world nature hav,
hitherto defeated some very promising
schemes to bring this about. 1t will prob
ably be 80 with 'Freeland."

Animals with Queer Instincts.


'Did you ever keep white mice.' said a
naturalist to a writer. "Well, they are
very interesting creatures, but they exhibit
one freak occasionally which has puzzled
me great deal. OF course you know that
they are albinos-thst is to say, a lusus
nature. Now and then among ordinary
gray mice one or two white ones will be
born. 1t is the came with rats. Because
they are odd and pretty such slbinos are
sometimes preserved and pair of them
bred from. Naturally, they tend to repro
duce albinism in their progeny. but some
of the latter from generation to generation
are grey, reverting to the original and nor
NAL color of the stock. The gray ones are
destroyed always by the fancier, and at
length pure strain of white mice is OBJ
tanned. Precisely the same thing Is done
with white rabbits, which are likewise al
binos. All white cats are apt to have pink
eyes and to be nearly or quite blind. AS
for the mice, even in race of white ones

Exactly so. Now, it is just here that
the puzzle / speak of comes in Take lit
ter of white mice in which there are a cou-
pie of gray ones and you will find that the
behavior of the gray mice is altogether diff

and sisters. Whereas the white ones show
no fear of human beings whatever, having
become accustomed to them through many
generations, the gray mice from the earliest

problem, too deep for science 10 do more
