The old law that non union men new
or strike is again refuted by two nota-
BILE cases In Indiana in the last three
weeks. The first one was at Alexan.
dria, where nearly 300 men struck in
the plate glass works. It is true they
had it pretty well rubbed in on them
before they struck. They stood heavy
cut and the refusal on the part of the
employers to allow the men the legal
four hours holiday on election day, but
when it came to replacing old citizen
employees with unAmericanized Belgi-
ans, even the non-union men drew the
line. They struck first, and then
formed union and settled the strike
satisfactorily to the men.
In South Bend We have a more re-
markable case, where nearly thOus-
and nOn-unlon men struck In the Sing
or sewing machine werks. The condi.
tions were deplorable, as they must
finally come TO be in all unOrganlZed
industries. Unorganized strikes sci.
dom WIN for lack of discipline and good
generalship. The unions have no mo-
nOpoly on strikes. It seems to be born
IN men. Both the rich and the poor
have an old rusty strike hidden away
somewhere. You have but to press
the button hard enough and it comes
othe surface with a vengeance. The
Unorganized men should learn the les
son that good unions are preventive
OF strikes, because the union commands
sufficient respect from the employer to
prevent him from imposing so much
hardship upon the men.-National La
Dor Tribune.

WHILE a great many win mot acre,

WHILE great many will not agree
with Attorney General Boyle in his at
titude on the prohibition law, all will
give him credit for his frank letter to
the State Temperance Union. He says
he is opposed to the prohibition law but
will prosecute all cases of its violation
coming to the appellate or supreme
court. He will not, however, put the
state to an expense by appointing as
sistant attorney generals and creating
local strife. He believes municipalities
should attend to these matters and it is
out of place for the attorney general to
interfere where he is not commanded
to do so by law. All who believe that
the people are capable of self govern
ment will approve of Mr.. Boyle's posi-
ton.

SENATOR THURsToN, of Ne

useful corporation tools in

OF the employe, knowing that
the interests of the employ

must be the same, in the face
OF a complicated and difficult
question which the average
employe is not fitted to com
prehend or discuss, to leave
the decision to his employer

ployer says work for SO cents
a day,it is the duty of the EN-.
ploye to obey without offer
ing any remonstrance. Thurs
ton is not alone in voicing
this sentiment. The average
senator and congressman feels
the same way about it. They
regard laborers as mere Great.

whose only mission is that of
being driven by men who

Following is cirular letter issued by

Recent investigation had by this Bu

relates to the payment of pensions, and

Faithful Unto Death.

On the point of courage we have not
yet seen in print very notable instance
that is current in service circles. It re-
lates to one of the numerous heroic but
useless struggles on the northwest from
tier of India when our men were sent
forward to carry positions that had to
be relinquished as soon as occupied.
When the men were retiring, harassed
by the fire of the hillsmen and bewil-
dered by the growing darkness, party
Of 13 went astray and found themselves
in a position where resistance and re-
treat were alike hopeless. They were
exposed without protection and were
shot down one by one.
When their comrades retook the val
ley and discovered the bodies, they dis
covered also the evidences of a rare act
Of courage, devotion and cool judgment.
Knowing that their end had come, and,
knowing further that every Lee Metford
rifle that fell into the hands of the A.
ridis meant the loss of many English
lives, the men had extracted the breech
locks from the rifles and hurled them
down the ravine, 80 that the rifles when
taken should be useless to their captors.

Laughed Away th. Danger.

81. Ben Cable Of Illinois tells Of an ex.
perience Of his in midocean. The day
was foggy, and most Of the passengers
were below listening to two evangelists
who were holding particularly fervid
gospel meeting in the saloon. Suddenly
and withoucth slightest warning there
was terrific crash and the engines
stopped. Every one rushed on deck.
The steamer had run into an iceberg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to fly
into panic. The boats were lowered,
and then for the first time the two evan.
gellsts, who had been forgotten in the
saloon, appeared on deck. They wore
their overcoats and their hats and they
carried rugs and handbags. They elbow
ed their way rudely to the rail. with
the evident intent Of securing for them
selves first places in the boat. It was
just at time when q breath would have
sent the passengers panic stricken into
the boats.
The sight Of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work Of cool headed
officers, when a pert little cookney STEP
ped up to the gentlemen with the rugs
and handbags.
"Beg pardon" said he, tipping his
cap, ave cab, sir?''
And in the general laugh the danger
OF panic was averted. WASHINGTON

The arguments for q new trial for

Thursday afternoon. County Attor-
ney Catherwood for the state inter
posed objections, claiming that Will
liams had fair trial and that the
verdict was In accord with the clearly
proven facts. After arguments were
finished on both sides, Judge Whytock
refused the request for new trial,
saying that he was convinced that
there was nothing presented 10 argu.
ment to justify a new trial under the
laws. He said: THE defendants
claim was not fact. The case was
tried on the theory that the prisoner
was not guilty of any crime under
the charge. The jury found he was
guilty, and guilty in the first degree.
There was no complication. 1t was
deliberate shooting. He shot once,
and seeing his victim was not dead,
he fired again. 1t will be a lesson to
the people Of this county. A man
