MITCHELL ON VIOLENCE.

Mr.. Mitchell rendered distinct SER
vice to the cause OF labor when he de-
clared in answer to an inquiry relative
to the influence Of violence upon tn g
success OF strike: II should cay that
its success would not be dependent uron
it at all. The very conditions alleged
would reduce the chances Of winning
the strike. In my judgment, violence
never contributed to the success of q
stIlke, because it loses for those on q
strike the sentiment of the public"
Mr.. Mitchell is entirely right. Vio-
lence hurts the strikers infinitely more
than it does the employers. In fact
the employers 80 well understand the
influence which display Of violence
exerts upon the public that they have
been accused of instiRating the violence
themselves in order to profit by the in
dignation aroused. Mr.. Mitchell has
done much to strengthen the cause of
labor, but nothing that he has said has
shown q clearer discernment or q more
just appreciation of the forces that
move society.-Bryan's Commoner.

THE Index is firm believer in the
theory that spade should be called q
spade and We have no patience with
the mandy pamby individual in the
walks Of life, be 1t commercial, politi.
cal or professional. There are those of
the weak and apologize class who pro-
Tess to be Mortified and shocked when
we say that the men who ere attempt
ing to seat E. H. Nixon as representa-.
tive OF this district, in spite of an ad.
versely expressed verdict at the polls,
are resorting to fraud and thievery.
Now it is not our intention to offend
the fastidious or to rufle the finer ma
lures Of sensitive people, but we be-
lieve it the duty of a newspaper to stand
for'some kind of principle and not
play the role of a worm In the dust. If
you are not for this kind Of chicanery
you must be against it, and the only
way to express your disapproval of such
rottenness is to do it in plain and EN-.
phatic terms so that there can be but
one construction put on your position.
The only fellow who complains at the
way the Index has handled this steal Is
the fellow who realizes the truth Of our
assertions and is afraid to face facts.

IT is becoming the fashion these days
for the retiring governor to disc over
that about one-ba of the minor state
offices could be dispensed with aud a
vast amount of money saved. You
never hear an incoming governor advo-
cate that kind of economy. however.
1t is generally the other way. The
more appointments. the easier to fulfill
campaign promises. It also serves to
advance future political interests which
politicians are always prone to consid-
er.

purposes.

IT used to be that the judiciary func.
ton was simply to interpret law. Later
this department of government got to
making and unmaking laws by decisions
and nov the courts are beginning to
hold elections and declare the result
regardless of whether votes are cast or
not. In the light Of these facts is there
any wonder that so many OF the people
OF this country are losing respect for
laws and mob violence and other forms
of lawlessness are on the incre ase.

treasury scheme of loaning to the peo-
pie is not financially orthordox. 1t has
never been viewed with favor by the
more careful students of monetary
matters. But the TREASURY scheme
is not so very different from the plan
pursued by Secretary Shaw to avert a
stringency in the money market. True,
Secretary Shaw does not loan the
money to the psople, but he loans TO
the banks which Is but one degree re-
moved. There is this difference that
IN one case the people get the money
from the government at low rate of in

are thus favored. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to point out that nothing better
could be expected from a republican
