It IS noticeable that many newspa-
pers. in discussing the big steel strike
are showing a disposition to regard it
as a fight between trusts. It is fact
that no question of hours or wages is
involved. The battle is being waged
solely upon a question of principle. The
existence Of the labor union is at stake
on one side and possibly the profitable
existence Of the trust on the other
though this is not so certain It may
be that the trust could employ none
but union workmen, and on the terms
dictated by the labor organization and
still make an amount Of money which
would be satisfactory to most individ-
uals- Owing to the peculiar situation
referred to above. 1t is not likely that
either side viii get as much sympathy
in case Of trouble as is usually accord
ed in case of strikes.

GLOBE SIGHTS

Ever see a lot of girls get the gig

You can boiler down nearly any,

Ever remark how much you dislike

Nothing makes man madden than

When reaches and water bugs run

It would be refreshing to hear a new

THEY DON'T KNOW.
Rev. Charles N. Sheldon Talks Of
Chicago Conditions

Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon. touch
ing upon the conditions in Chicago in
an address before the Y. NJ. c. A saids
mo man can live a satisfied life I'M
less he does his share toward making
a better world. He must give not only
his money and his thought, but he
must give his time to it. / have been
down IL some of the dark places in
this great city since / have been here
While there I asked a man who has
given ten years of his life to work
among those places how many intel
Hgent business men ever go down there.
Very few was the reply. 1 know peO-
pie in almost every city who own tene-
ment property in the larger cities, ana
who never go there to see how their
tenants live.
'sThey take the money and never in
duire into the suffering of the poor
people in the hot days like this. They
read about the little babies who are
born there, coming into the world ike
potato sprouts coming up in the dark
cellar, white and weak, but they never
see them. There are hundreds OF men
who can go to Europe every summer
and who have fine homes, but who new
er seek out the shame and who never
seek out the places OF suffering and
sin.
IF every man in Chicago with wealth
and political power would 60 and see
the amusements provided at some OF
the saloons here and the results Of
them I can't believe he could be a sat
tsfied man until he had done his share
toward making the city better"
Sources OF earthly happiness as class
flied by Mr.. Sheldon are: Peace with
God, first of all; peace with man, next;
sharing in the task OF making the
world better, and eternal faith in the
future, with hopefulness and a belief
that the world Is growing better.

volver at Garrett who sat at his desk
and began firing.
Five times the revolver cracks re-
sounded through the building in quick
succession. each bullet taking effect in
CARROTS body. Garrett fell from his
chair without being able to make a
move, and when in a few minutes
Dodge and Mcdonald hurried to the
scene he was unconscious, lying in a
pool of his own blood. Kelly had re-
loaded his revolver, and when the Off
GERS entered the Office turned it upon
them Sergeant Dodge was shot
through the throat, and Detective Nc
Donald received a bullet in the leg.
A moment later DR.. MCGEE, summoned
to attend Garrett, stepped into the Of
fee. Kelly again raised his revolver,
and pointed it at the physician, who
turned to summon help
Kelly fred, one bullet striking MCGEE
in the back near the spine and sending
him to the floor. The affair consumed but
five minutes time Other officers finally
arriving overpow cred Kelly and placec

evidently mistook John r Garrett for the
elder Garrett
Later in the day Garrett died, after be-
ing taken to the hospital.
