LApoR.s POSITION,

No cause In this country will succeed
by resort to violence.
We are extremely loose in our methods
and free In our speech. but we draw the
line at violence; and for any faction to
arm" to attain its ends would certainly
mean inglorious defeat.
The advice, therefore given by hot
headed and Incorporate speakers before the
labor convention at Chicago to "get and
use gums is the worst character OF talk
that could have been indulged
II the laborlng people OF America where
the ballot is universal and the laborers
are In the majority. fail to protect them
selves II Is because OF their ignorance or
their compatibility. and speakers have
no right to address to thssn incendlary
speeches, such as those delivered at Chi
cago. This Is o. land presumably. OF free
speech. but not OF unbrldlcd license or
incendIarism. and to openly advocate armed
resistance to existing conditions Is not
only wrong and dangerous but beyond the
pale OF tolerance.
Labor has tho power In this country
through the ballot to accomplish any re-
form or achieve any victory It desires. All
that is needed Is organization and unity
OF purpose. No guns are required by an
element so powerful ne that of the work
ingmen. The trouble IL that these mon do
not vote lntellgcntly upon matters affect
ing their best interests. Last year whom
great champion OF tho laboring classes
arose and the democracy was pledged to
tho very things that labor wanted. tho d.
vision In the labor vote in Chicago. In
Indiana. In New York and others States
was SO marked that the opponents OF Or
ganized labor and OF tho masses won.
What sympathy can be expressed for such
people now-poople who through ignor-
ance or yennlity vote away their llborties2
1t is folly and madness to talk OF
gums"
Let tho unions first vote together ana
try tholr strength at the polls before
speaking OF violence. Where there is no
unity there is no strength and unless an
other tack Is taken and another policy Is
pursued labor Is going to dlscredit itself
and render itself impotent for good any
where In this country.

THE BUSY HOUSE FLY.
Although Much Too Familiar We Really
hnow Little About 1t.

Although Much Too Familiar We Really
hnow Little About 1t.
1t is almost impossible to ascertain
the length OF life of the house fly or the
details of its habits and peculiarities,
save as they manifest themselves to cas-
ual observation, for the reason that,
while buzzing about everywhere and
apparently living with ease under the
most adverse conditions, it is, neverthe.
less, when confined within narrow quar-
tiers, almost certain to die within short
time, frequently living but few hours.
Nevertheless, according to the best de.
auctions possible, Good Housekeeping
finds 1t apparent tDat in the latitude Of
Washington there Is time for l2 or 10
generations each summer. 1t is estimat.
ed that each female fly lays about 100
eggs during her lifetime, and with a
dozen generations per year 1t will easily
make the head of a skilled arithmeticiau
swim to compute the multitude of de.
scendants from single mother" start.
ing business in earnest in the early
spring.
In u remedial way not much is recon-
mended which is not already familiar
to every housewife. A careful screenin,
of the windows and doors during tn,
summer months, with the Supplementary,
use Of sticky fly paper, is method
known to every one, and there seems Il
be little hope in the near future of mucl
relief by doing away with the breeding
places. A single stable in which horse
is kept will supply house flies for an ex'
tended neighborhood. People living il
agricultural communities will probably
never be rid Of the pest, but in cities,
with better methods of disposal of gar.
bage and with the lessening of the mum.
bers of horses and horse stables conse.
quent upon electric street railways and
bicycles, and probably horseless car
riages, the time may come before very
long when window screens may be dis
carded
The prompt gathering Of horse ma.
nure, which may be treated with lime
or kept in specially prepared pit
would greatly abate the fly nuisance,
and city ordinances compelling horse
owners to follow some such course art
desirable. Absolute cleanliness, ever
under existing circumstances, will al
ways result in diminution Of the
numbers Of the house fly, most house
hold insects being less attracted to the
premises of what is known as "the ole
fashioned housekeeper" than to thos,
