There are many strikes already on and
others impending in various parts of the
United States. In Massachusetts and Ohio
the labor situation is particularly disturbed;
much dissatisfaction exists in all industrial
circles. Riots in some cities have occurred.
With tie growth of the great trusts and
the coevsl expansion and consolidation OF
trade uniOnism in America, it may be believ.
tween the forces of labor and capital is near
at hand.
In the last analysis the interests of EN-.
ployee are identical, neither can aEcheive its
best results without sympathy and: cOOpera
tion, but siuce the beginning Of time, save
here and there in exceptional instances, the
recognition OF such mutually has never long
existed.
The contest of the future must serve to
pace in clear light this elementary and
essential truth. Tranquility and progress
can never be realized until all men learn not
alone to respect the rights of others but TO
know that there cannot be permanent pros
perity and peace in strong and established
state except when all men prosper alike when
there shall be no destructive antag0nisms
and no class shal! seek to thrive at the ex.
pense of the other.
Such condition will not be the millennium
it is sure to come soon, the common desire
for uninterrupted industry, tranquility and
peace will bring about mutual agreements
through arbitration which scill put violence
and strife everywhere schere knight errantry
and the 0uel have gone.
Although the people of San Juan icill be
sOmwhat surfeited with fiestas, when the
present twenty days OF merry making have
expired, it is well that steps should be taken
to fitly celebrate the fourth of July.
The event that that day commentaries
belongs to all men, it marked the most mo-
mentous step ever taken in the progress Of
human liberty along the tideway of time
On that day in 1915 the continental con
gress at Philadelphia proclaimed to the
icOrld the mighty axiom that all men were
created free and equal, that they are endow-
cd with certain inelienable rights in the pur-
suit OF happiness and that true government
ezists BY consent Of the governed.

The, first week of the Barry murder
case closed with nine jurors impanled
and venire Of fifty jurymen exhausted.
Sheriff Pinkerton was then dispatched to
the northwestern part of the county.
most remote from the scene of the
tragedy, with subpoenas for twenty
more jurors, from which to gil the panel.
In brief the court opened Tuesday, the
10th, a: noon, the balance of that day
being taken up with preliminaries of the
case and legal argument by the defense.
Wednesday the attorneys examined
eight jurors, and found two that were
accepted for service on tho case. Thurs
day the number questioned and excused
for various causes was increased to over
thirty and three more jurors placed in
the box. Friday afternoon about ten,
the balance OF the fifty jurors had been
passed upon with the result that nine in
all had been secured to try the case.
During these three days the defense
exercised it's pere'nptory challenge on six
jurors and tho state on two.
The telling OF the story, which locally
bears ON the tragedy, is not expected to
take up more than four, or at the out
side. five days of the courts time. The
export medical testimony, as to the
sanity OF the defendants, together with
the pleadings OF counsel and the sum-
ming up by the Judge are likely to carry
the trial into the closing days OF the
month before the case is given to the
jury to find whether or not the defen-
is guilty OF the crime which he stands
charged.
The defense is allowed by statute to
exercise its peremtory challenge against
twenty jurors, if it 40 desires. The
privilege has so far been made use OF by
