it the power could furnish hints on
oppression never thought of by the
money power 'plutocrats'' and ''ex-
ploiters'' generally. For exercising the
simple privileges to which all Ameri-
cans are entitled-such as riding where
one pleases and selling goods to whom
soever one desires-men are to find
their business ruined and they de-
prived of the privilege and means of
making living for themselves and
families. They were not the original
offenders but they are to share in the

the boycott can excuse the use of dyna-

the American who submits to such un-
warranted tyranny is a slave and de-
serves to be- The whole power of the
United States Government cannot take
or destroy private property without
reparation-then what right has gang
of walking delegates to destroy what
may have been built up by lifetime of
industry? This spirit of unionism is
constituencies and cruel. 1t regards
no rights but it's own and it assumes
more than it's just rights. 1t is I'M

EDITORS AT THE FAIR
Napa Register: The Executive Com
mittee of the California Press Asso-
citation met at the Occidental Hotel in
San Francisco last Saturday night and
rescinded action taken at a previous
meeting with reference to place of hold
ing annual meeting of the association.
1t having been found that the railroad
between Truckee and Lake Tahoe
would not be in operation by Septem-
Der, and further that the State Fair
would be an attraction for the news
paper fraternity the first weeks Of said
month, Sacramento was elected as the
place of meeting of the association this
year, and September It'll 9th was
fixed as the date. Morning sessions of
the association will be held at the State
Capitol, probably in the Senate cham
Der, and afternoons and evenings will
be devoted to different departments of
the Fair, which this year promises to
eclipse all former pavilion and park
displays.
THE STATE FAIR.
Oroville Mercury: At the coming
State Fair it is intended to make the
agricultural and horticultural features
more prominent than ever before, and
to make the exhibits in these lines of
practical value to visiting farmers. a
feature that strikes us as being we'll
wortS the time and money it will cost
a Butte County farmer to see, is the
silo and cutting machinery and cured
enslage which it is proposed to show.
We have here at Oroville a creamery
standing idle because our farmers think
their cows can not be given green feed
all the year round. There are few
places where cows get green feed all
the year round, and the farmers of this
section can have it in plenty at small
cost and at every season, by sowing
forage crops, irrigating them and pack
ing in Silo. There's a buShel of mon
ey in that creamery for our farmers if
| they would go to work and get it. An
inspection of the silo mentioned above
might give them the key to the strong
box in which it is locked
STRIKES
Humboldt Standard: Some will say:
IF man does not wish to work for
the wages he is offered let him quit.
| first thought to be right and simply
just 1t is just in most cases where
the employer and his working men are
nearly on an equality; where the bust
ness is small and but few men are en-
ployed; but when it comes to a vast
army of men under one employment, if
this theory be carried out, and no COM
plant be heard and no means of re-

wages may be ground down to the
starvation point while the members of
the company amass great fortunes and
revel in luxury. Such a condition
would be intolerable; closely bordering
on actual slavery. The public good
demands that the working man shall
have just compensation; that he have
at least an equitable share of the
wealth he creates by his toll. If this
be done at all times, and the laboring
man be convinced that it is done, we
shall seldom have strikes, which carry
with them mob violence and destruc-
ton.
THE BOYCOTT.
Fresno Republican: A Cleveland ply
stefan was on his way to attend a little
girl who was dying, when he was
stopped and warned not to go on, as
the child's father was a scab" and
under the boycott. He replied that they
ought to serve notice of the boycott on
the Almighty and inform Him that
they would not go to heaven, for the
child would be there in a short time.
The good physician was needlessly Sc
we're. It is already an established fact
that a "scab,' that is. a laborer who
belongs to the other faction, has no
right to food or work. Whoever fur.
nishes him with the common necessities
of life is liable to be himself starved
in revenge. The right of a sick child
to medicine is no more sacred than tho
right Of a well man to food The boy
colt which denies either is fiendish, but
no more so in the one case than the
other.
