WAGES UNDER M'KISLErIsM.

Every workingman will appreciate
The force of what was said by Mr..
Bryan before the Building Trades
council at Chicago.
Mr.. Bryan told the workers that the
menace to labor to-day is to be found
N the increasing army OF the unem-
ployed. The force of the remark will
20 home TO every man who depends
upon his earning capacity for his
means OF livelihood. Increase the
number OF unemployed belonging TO
my calling and the standing Of the
'mpioyed is thereby threatened. The
employer is however slow to note the
condition of the labor market and TO
egalate his wages accordingly.
Through the aid OF their organiza-
ions Sorkingmen in this country have
maintained a wage which has enabled
hem to enjoy n reasonable degree OF
comfort. But with n constant add.
ion to the ranks of the unemployed.
abor unions become ineffective.
In the interest OF themselves and
heir class, therefore, it is the duty OF
~yorkingmen who are employed to
prevent those conditions which result
II forced idleness. Idleness, rs Mr..
Sryan said, is not inflicted on the
human ace by natural laws or by the
ct OF the Creator. 1t is the result OF
vii legislation.
What has produced such a vast
mount Of idleness within the las
our years? McKinleyism, which ha.
uilt up monopoly, destroyed indus
rial competition. and. by such de-
.truction, has controlled not only the
wages but the cost OF the necessaries

With the election Of Bryan there will

The Carson News has an article

action Mt the last meeting when they
passed a resolution to the effect that
NO paper OF the Association should
mention any man professionally when
his professional carl was not pub
lished in one or more papers in the
town in which he resides. The reso.
luton is in no n u blackma ing
or bulldozing scheme and no profes,
sional man should pay any attention
to it il he don't want TO. 1t was not
done to increase the revenue OF the
papers or to coerce any body. Pro.
fessional men have u code OF ethics
however. Doctors think it sunpro-
fessionsl' to let the public know
where they can be found or what
hours they will be in their offices. A
great many lawyers have a code Of
ethics not to publish their profess
sional cards and to bury their light
under a bushel, and trust to the press
to call public attention to their greai
efforts for or against a client simply
as a matter OF news The Press
Association decided at its last meet
ing to adopt Il code OF ethics Of its
own, and having done so it lily be-
comes the News to denonnce it.
Much good has already resulted to
the newspaper men Of this S;6 by
the formation Of the Press Associa-
ton, and much more will foil w il the
papers will work together. No pre-
fessional man has any good reaso
for finding fault with the action OF the
Nevada Press Association Tor they
will grant the Association the same
rights they reserve to themselves, to
adopt a code Of ethics for the gov
erpment OF newspapers, as long n
such code does not interfere with the
rights and privileges OF any man or
class OF men. We think IL the News
had taken a second thought it would
not have published what it did.
The Press Association aims to gov
ern itself in a business way and d,
nothing undignitied or that smacKs
Of pettifoggins. The press has tn,
interests OF the State and the peopl'
at heart as much or more than IN.

for the upbuilding Of the State on nj
Legitimate lines. The resolution
spoken OF was not adopted to black
mail any one or any profession; anG
the Gazette is surprised that the News,

The California Voice, OF Los An
geles. the official organ Of the Prohibi-
ton Party OF the State. declares that
Major Mckinley is Il ~moral coward,
and unworthy the support Of good
men, The grievance OF the Prohibi-
~;ionists arises from the answer to Il
letter which they addressed to the
tront-yard orator at Canton. reading
thus:

How TO Hold Up tho Skirt.

The left hand is invariably used for
lifting the skirt. The first principle is
that the arm should not be crooked at
the elbow, but should hang straight
from the side as the hand is brought
right to the center Of the back, gather
ing the folds and bringing them to the
side with the arm still straight. In this
way the fullness Of the skirt is brought
to the left side, slightly raised, and thus
the entire bottom Of the skirt escapes
the ground.
Over very muddy crossing use both
hands The arms again drop straight
from the side, each hand gathers the
fullness, the skirt is very slightly raised
so as not to allow it to dip in the center
of the back. But this mode of lifting
the skirts is permissible only over very
muddy crossings. The single hand man
ner Of protecting the dress against un
clean streets and sidewalks is sufficient
for all other purposes.
