COmpa rison of Private Armies of To
day and of the Past.

day and of the Past.
III ! II ea4nas pretty Well authenticated
that employers associations are en-
pioying Pinkertons to act as spies in
labor Unions. The organizers in West
Virginia are under system of espion-
age which Lord Eldon declared in
similar case in England, as amounting
to virtual imprisonment This employ
ing of private armies is of ancient
origin, and was always attended with
disaster to the people and the state. In
early times of the Roman republic rich
men had the privilege of hiring private
armies, which in time became fused
and formed the "Praetorian Guard"
which sold the crown to the highest
bidder. Until the time of Peter the
Great Russian noblemen had the privil-
ege. and the manner Of these Russian
1nercenaries, known as the "Strelsti,"
is admirably set forth in Russian his
tory, and Peter the Great got rid of
them only by general massacre.
Napoleon's dealings with the private
armies Of Egypt, known as the Name
lukes." are known to all students of the
Little Corporal" A similar system is
rapidly growing in the United States,
and whether they go under the name
of Pinkertons, Mooney-Bolands or pri-
vate watchmen, the end will be the
same. It behooves the thoughtful and
patriotic citizens of this country to
study the manner and methods of these
private armies Of the pas., and COM
pare them with the present methods,
and then take means to effectually ex-
terminate the system. It is destroy or
be destroyed. No stress Of circum-
stances can justify the employment Of
these private armies in this country.
The people stand ready to enforce law
and order everywhere. Liberty and
private armies cannot live on the same
soil. Victor Hugo, the only man who
ever told the truth about France. in
discussing the conditions which existed
prior to one of the bloody revolutions,
when men were slaughtered like flies
and the strets ran with blood. said:
1.-THE contentious of the period were
those Of an aggregation Of interests
rather than struggle around a group
Of principles" Read that over until
you catch it's deep meaning and see it's
wonderful grasp of the situations
rapidly pushing to the front by these
aggregation Of interests" and their
private armies. 1t is situation not at
all pleasing to the liberty-loving citizen.
1t affects only the worker today, but
you will feel its force tomorrow.-Un-

The Ice Handlers union of Columbus.
O., submitted a proposition to the en-
ployers, which was refused, and a
strike resulted. The union men work
anywhere from 10 to 20 hours per day
this time of the year, but are paid
for only ten hours work. The pay is
$1.35 per day. They are satisfied with
this for ten hour day, but demand Is

they work five hours day and receive

Viniti, April 6-TerritorIal legal
complications which have arisen Of
late are certain to multiply to such
an extent that The lawyers OF the

the endorsement Of the Curtis law

tumble because OF the enactment by
congress, granting federal citizen

Secretary Hitchcock realizes that

another "innOcent clause, the treaty

sesses a guardianship over tribal
governments. The officials are en-
deavoring TO belittIe the effects OF
the citizenship clause because they
do not desire to arouse undue con-
iroversy, but il Is evident that they
are worried. Tams Bixby, acting
chairman Of the Dawes commission,
held q long conference with Secre-
tary Hitchcock in st. Louis last
Tuesday. The question OF citizen
ship was discussed. Yesterday j..
George Wright summoned the fed.
eral attorneys Of the several dis
tricts to Muskogee for consultation.
Many questiozs arose IS to the best

are federal citizens, can they still

of Wilder Avenue is a pond which is a
menace to the health of the people i'm the
community and should be condemned.
Originally in wet weather a stream flow
ed through this pond down across Wilder
Avenue, but when the Public Works
Department filled Wilder Avenue at this
point, no culvert was left, aud later the
property owners below filled the dry bed
of the stream. The result of course was
that pond was formed and while the
Makiki ditch was intended to carry away
the water, 1t was constructed so that the
water did not flow through but stayed at
the Eva end. Mr.. Campbell, Assistant
Superintendent of Public Works, has

man and bovine tuberculosis are radl-
cally different diseases Is a very impor-
tant one bearing upon their inter-
changeable or communicable character
The distinguished expert is quite salts
fed that cattle cannot become infected
by human tuberculosis, but for obvious
reasons is not quite so sure that ami
mails cannot infect man, The latter
proposition Is hard to prove absolutely,
because Of the difficulty of experiment
ing on human subjects Personally he
believes, and evidently with rood rea-
son, that there Is no danger of the di-
rect infection of tuberculosis by con-
sumption of the milk or flesh of affect
ed cattle. While this may be calculated
to allay public fear as TO the alleged
widespread causes of disease propaga-
ton, it should not argue that such mill
or meat should be considered safe or
wholesome. scientifically it would aps
pear that the only practical outcome
of the Berlin professors Investigations
is i'm the direction of narrowing the
sources of contagion to the eXpectora-
ton of tuberculosis patients. Already
there is much talk of abandoning tho
health inspection of milk ana meats on
the score that there win be no more
necessity for It. This idea should not
be entertained for a moment. The pub
lie can never be made TO believe that
tainted meat and infected milk can pass
muster as food merely because tuber-
culOsis is not catching" those ways.

Colony Keep Out of Reach
of the Enemy.

Cape Town, March 90. - The Boer
raiders in the eastern portion of Cape
Colony are, with the exception of al
most daily skirmishes, keeping out of
the reach of the British. Col. Scoville
engaged Commandant Fouche and
Commandant Malan near Blaawkrantz
March 20. Three British were killed
and four wounded, and four Beers
were killed. The number of Beers
wounded has not been ascertained.
Commandant Kritzinger is marching

ported that Gen. De Vets commands
have been broken up for the present.
This is probably TO give the men a rest.

press severely criticises Lord Kitch-
ener's conditions. "No wonder the
Beers reject them" says the Berliner
Post, "for such conditions would put
the Beers on level with West Indian
mulattoes and Mestizos."

tina"
London, March 22.-The Daily
Chronicle, protesting to be able to
give an outline of the negotiations
between Lord Kitchener and Gen.
Botha, says:
1.-THE chief obstacle to a settlement was
11OfQ hltEnEnEE refusal 70 grant COIh-
plete amnesty TO the leaders of the rebels
in Cape Colony. He offered self-govern-
ment on the lines OF Jamaica Immediately
upon the cessation of hcstilities, with legis-
latiYe bodies partly elected by the burgh-
ers. The government agreed to provide
81, 600, 900 to compensate the Beers for prop
erty destroyed and articles Communicated
by the Beers on commando provided the
signatures of the officers who comman-
deered the goods were forthcoming. He
also offered to grant loans on easy terms
for rebuilding end restocking farmsteads.
Moreover, he agreed that children should
be instructed in English or Dutch at the
discretion OF their parents. The govern
ment undertook to make no claim on
church property or funds or upon hospitals
or hospital funds or upon private invest
ments. No burgher Of either state was to
be allowed to possess a rife except by
special license. Gen. Botha was generally
in favor o. these conditions, but he dis
scented strongly from a proposal to give the
full privilege of citizenship to properly
domiciled and registered blacks. He was
also greatly concerned about the position
Jewish capitalists would occupy in the
country. and was told that Jews and Chris
tians wo1ld enjoy equal rights, no distinc-
ton being made in the matter Of conces-
sions."
