FROM the way some of our SUBJ
scribers treat bills we send them,
they must be laboring under the
erroneous impression it does not
cost anything to run a newspaper,
that we have nothing to pay out
for labor or material and that we
live on air. We would like to
impress on our patrons who have
this idea, that it does cost some
thing to run our business and we
need every dollar that is due us.
So when you get a gentle re-
minders please treat it as you
would a notice from your banker
that you had a note falling due
on a certain date. You do not
put these off by saying, ooh!
well it's only dollar and l will
pay it some time" but you 60 at
once and settle it, and that is
just what you should do with our
notices of subscription due; they
are as important as your bank
bills and should be attended to
with the same degree of prompt
itude. Our bills are small it is
true, but there are a great many
of them and this is just why it
works a hardship on us when
they are not paid. We have a
great many subscribers with sub
scription expiring every month
and some who have not paid any
thing for some time and you can
readily see what this amounts to.
Each time we write you a letter
it costs two cents, and this multi
Piled by two or three thousand
amounts to great deal of I'M
necessary expense. The facili-
ties for renting small amounts
were never better than at the
present time. With two banks at
jacksonville and one in almost
every town, it is an easy matter
to send check. Keep your money
moving, send in your back SUBJ
scription. Idle money does no
good to anyone, especially if you
owe it.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 7. 1902.

Pennsylvania brings to Hopkins
county folks the stirring times
of a few months ago, when re-
ports of outrages committed by
the U. M. W. of A. on non-union
mines and miners were of daily
occurrence. The Citizens ALI
ance of Wilkesbarre, Pa, seems
surprised at President John Nit
chell that he does not condemn
the daily outrages committed by
his members on non-unlon men
and their wives and children.
They surely have not kept up
with the doings and sayings of
Mitchell, Gompers and the other
distinguished labor leaders of
the National Civic Federation,
as well as all other labor lead
ers in this country.
Not one of these leaders dare
to assert as true, the declaration
of Archbishop Ireland that "the
PERSONAL FREEDOM Of the INDl-
vIDUAL CITIZEN is the most sacred
and precious inheritance of
Americans. For the simple
reason that there is no personal
freedom IN any labor organiza-
ton; any leader that advocates
the personal freedom of a men,
Der would quickly lose his infu-
ence and office, and Mitchell and
Gompers live for office. They
ARE no worse in this respect,
however, than are most politi-
clans, Neither dare labor lead
ers and officers condemn lawless-
aess. When they accept the
leadership they know this full
we'll. They know that every
strike is war, and condone all
acts of their followers. The
murders, the burning of washer
les. the most brutal assaults on
men, women and children are
part of the business, and the
worthy Citizens Alliance can
rest assured that John Mitchell
will not risk losing his job by
coDdemning little CD things like
these. The fact is, all trades
unions are founded on tyranny.
The member swears to support
the majority and the majority is
just what the few leaders and
hotheads choose to make it. But
small percent of the anthracite
region wanted to strike, but the
hotheads and the irresponsible
boys of the locals run the bust
ness and totally suppressed the
timid members who were afraid
to voice their real sentiments.
Less than five percent of SOL
diers in war volunteer on "for-
BORN hopes" the other 95 percent
not caring to accept almost GER
tain destruction. With mem
bers Of labor organizations the %
men out of the 100 dislike to con-
tend with the five irresponsible
demagogues and DULLES and sub
ject themselves to insult and
abuse and they submit to the
strike. In a real war, be it un-
derstood, these five DULLES would
not be in the "forlorn hope" but
far in the rear and running from
danger.
Only those who have been on
the ground and are familiar with
unionism know of the tyranny of
the petty officials. One out of a
hundred instances witnessed in
Kentucky will illustrate: Ger
tain members of the U. M. w.
protested against the continued,
useless and reckless expenditure
of money, claiming their families
were suffering for the necessaries

gan at home. These members

popular favor. One of this type of plays,
"The Convict's Daughter" will be pre-
sented at the Academy of Music this

The story concerns the confidential
clerI; of Southern banker, who revels in
villainy because he is the rejected suitor
of his employers adopted daughter. and

discovers lthat: he has actually told the
truth. The adopted daughter and the man
whom she, calls father confront the tramp.
Rather than reveal the secret of the girls

villain then sends him back to jail, from
which he's soon afterward escapes. and

place at the Lafayette tomorrow night
While in no sense melodrama, the play
is said to possess that popular dramatic
element that usually spells success.
The plot is said to be novel and centres
about five children, who with their old
Scotch servant, are transplanted from
their natural and healthy surroundings to
set in modern London society. The idea
gives scope for a wide difference in the
characters that are presented, an oppor-

THE BurgomasteT," one Of the most
pronounced musical triumphs of last sea-
son, is announced for a second engage
ment at the Columbia this week. This
merry melange seems TO have struck the
American public as just right more forci-
bly, than any most similar attractions
that have been produced during recent
seasons. At any rate. The BurgOmas-
ter" was the recipient OF much praise
when seen here last year.
Inasmuch as many new songs, special
ties. and an entire new scenic and cos
tune outfit are promised on the occasion
of this return engagement, and as the
piece is one that can be seen and enjoyed
several times, many who saw it last sea-
son anticipate visiting it again.
1t is a difficult matter TO mention the
many features OF THE Burgomaster
They are described by the enthusiastic
press agent as innumerable. fascinating,
and bewildering, of the sort that must be
seen to be appreciated. The scenic dis
play is said to require two cars for trans
portation. and displays seven different
scenes.

There have been few theatrical COM
binations formed of recent years which
have had so much real success and favor
showered upon them as has this one of
the comedian and the play dramatized
from Edward Noyes Westcott's widely
read book. David Harum" stands in the
unique position of being the one play
which Mr. Crane could not, either through
choice or necessity shelve after couple
of seasons use. Judging and figuring
from the success and life of other plays
taken frcm between the covers OF books
David Harum' was given, by the wise
acres, about two years to live. The play
has now reached that age, and has yet to
be seen in the far West and in the South.
An additional two years of life has been
given the play. an addition that brings a
smile TO Mr.. Frohmans face for he holds
that the comedy viii live and be popular
just as long as Mr. Crane cares to be seeni
in it.
These who saw the play on the occa-
sion of Mr. Cranes previous engagement

wholesome comedy. It's character sketches
were bright and clever. and there was
