 be accepted by the aboriginal Amer
 ican-in the fact that, as history as
 serts, they were copper hued.<'--
 Whether or not these ideas will he swallowed by the representative
 American of today will be decided on the Sth day of November Among
 other things MT. Dice says:
 Foolish man will fight agsins,
 his bread and butter; be will 5Ita
 the hand that feeds him and curse the source from which be has de-
 rived the wherewithal to clcthe and
 feed his female and her young. He
 will, dolt-hke, quarrel with Lis
 breakfast, his dinner and his supper; and then, after bitterly fighting bed and board, when they have taken wings and unto themselves and Iu disgust have left him bedless and supperless, he will raise his vOics Iu racious lamentation at the uncharl- ty of man.
 Man is the only creature that Is mean and dispicable enough to try to ruin that which clothes and feeds him. This peculiar phase of non character is never more discernibl- in civilized communities than st election times. Let the idea get abroad that a certain great industry which gives employment to hun dreds or thousands, Is interested h the success of any one candidate and as sure as fate rules little minds, so surs will there be found among is employees numbers who will vote and secretly work to defeat the i'm agined V ishes of their employer.
 If one man employ another aud that other attempt to hurt him ID business, attacks hIs reputation. or assails his commercial standing. then that employee will get fired and everyone will say, served him right" and he will not kick much himself. But let large industry do the same thing and immediately there Is raised the cry of "coerciOD, "tyTranny, oppression and all tie demagogues and blatant word smiths in the vicinage yawp ez- ceeding.
 "AIl of which is why the average damphoOl is not something else.
 The Human Animal" referred to by MT. Dyce Is supposed to be de fcient in many of the qualities pos sessed by the rational human be ing. It is to be inferred that be Is lacking in the ability to think for himself; lacking in hearing; lacking m eyesight, in that he is unable to distinguish colors, in fact, cannot tell the difference between pink and white tickets at a primary; lack ing in the knowledge that be lives in a free country and cau enjoy the liberty of freedom of thought and speech. If John Dye clings to this delusion, 1 am sorry for him as the hallucinstion will surely be dispell- ed on election day. The working man of today is not to be deceived into the belief that the company for which.he works is feeding and cloth ing hIm gratuitouslY. He knows full well that his services are valus- ble to bis employer or he would not be employed. The position taken by NIT. Dyce that because a man works for corporation for yesis he is behOlden to his employer for his bread ana butter, has two sides to 1t.
 It is most certainly true that faithful hardworking employes of any company or industry contribute. by their conScientiOus, painstakins labor, to the upbuilding of that business, in fact their labor makes it possible for the sal aried clerks in the offices to make and secure their bread and butter The fact that a man has worked for years for some company only goes to prove that his services have been so valuable to the company that tbey were very willing to feed and clothe' him-when he paid 6 good valuation for it, much more than bis salary remunerated him for-until a question of political support cane up and then, because the emp ove would not prostitute his manhood and vote as the gigantic brained clerks wanted him to; because, as a free born American citizen. he would not shirk his duty and vote contrary to his honest convictions, his food and clothing IS taken away. He Is fired" for being against the 'com- pany's interests" and a more plia0le tool takes his place.
 do not intend to declaim upon the relations of capital and labor; this phase of the question has been by the ablest men of the age. The closest students of our and the prevailing con ditions existent in our land have reached the decision that C7Ui;al and labor have an equal share .a tie worlds productions, and that nei D. CT could live without the other The great constitution, the fouBda- ton stone of the worlds greatest provides that without re- gard to employer, or emplOye. mil hoDaire or pauper, christian or aghe- ist, black or white, We, one and all have the rights of free speech, free dom of worship and free political thought.
 This erstwhile exponent of Dar- winism. who has so sarcastically rep dered decision on the authenticity of sacred history, and seeks Co in fict his opinions on Yavapai county workingmen, may find out during the progress of this campaign that he has been mistaken in referring to those of the opposite political faith as human animals" and that per haps there are some. not holding as exalted" positions as he, who have found time and opportunity Co study these questions and are not iu accord with the United Verde the ory of the human animal" and bis characteristics who, when he casts a vote contrary to ghe wishes of the great industry is
