PRESIDENT AND UNIONS.
Law of Government Superior to Rule
 a% A,,~ DviUa<n

Law of Government Superior to Rules
 of Any Private Organization.
 New York Tribune.
 | If the American Federation of Labor
 cares to make the issue with the Presi-
 dent formulated by the Central Labor l union of the District of Columbia the President can have no hesitation in meet ing 1t squarsly. A declaration that he is President of the whole country, that he knows no distinction between citizens who are members of labor unions and cit- izens who are not,and that he will enforce the laws equally regardless of the threats of trusts or labor unions, can meet with only one result-overwhelming support from the American people. The resolu- tion of the District of Columbia union is sheer insolence. It presumes to regard in "an unfrienliy light an order of the President that the laws of the United States. and not the rules of voluntary association of government employees, shall be obeyed in the government printing of- flee. The objection to 'the policy of the open shop" and the demand that the President modify his order of no dis elimination" amount to nothing less than an assertion of superiority to the law. The policy of the open shop in govern ment establishments Is the only one com patible with the fundamental principles of the American constitution. Whatever private employees may do in the way of discrimination between workmen on ac count of their relation to a private or- ganization, the government, which owes equal consideration to all, cannot make any concessions without abdicating its authority as well as shirking its duty.
 The spirit of the union resolution shows clearly enough how near it is to thinking itself a little bigger than the government. The union takes credit to itself for having "conservativey recognized" the authority of the President and for "acceding'' to the reinstatement of Miller and working with him in the printing office. It was, 1t seems. a concession that the unionists al lowed the United States to continue to run its printing offlce in accordance with the law. With modesty fitting an organ ization which thus tolerates the govern ments conduct of its own business, pending final settlement of its protests against it's not being allowed to run 1t, the union compares itself to the thirteen original States, and likens those who do not accept all its pretensions to sover- eighty to the tories who opposed the set ting up of a new government here. That is appropriate, for the claims put forth by the District of Columbia union are for nothing less than the setting up of a new government. Its appeal to the President is to subordinate the law to union rules and treat the man found guilty of flag rant non-unionism" as criminal, having no right in the public service. What would be said if the Methodist or Roman Cath olic church took the same attitude con cerning the public employment of a per- son found guilty of fragrant heresy? Yet both churches try to raise the standard of living and make men better, just as the trade union professes to do.

Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and invigorating past time. It developes not the body only, but the mind. The Alpine Peaks of Switzer- land have their counterpart in our own country. in the Sierras, the Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
 The great glacial peak of the United States is Mt Rainier in Washington, more than 16.60O feet high. This magnifl- cent mountain has 15 or more giant gla- ciers creeping down its sides and dis charging their glacial detritus into the Columbia River or Puget Sound.
 A climb to the summit of this peak is a mountaineering feat worthy of any noun taineer. For 25 cents Chas. s. Fee, Gen'l Passenger Agent of the Northern Pacific Railway, St. Paul, Minn.. will send to any address an illustrated booklet called Climbing Mt. Rainier describing a climb over the glaciers to the top of the mountain. adv-tf.

The latest social organization of Mont gomery is the new Country Club, which starts with the unusual strength of 116 members It is seldom that an organiza- tion develops such popular strength at its inception and it goes to prove how deep an interest Montgomery takes in the enjoyment of outdoor pleasures and ex- ercise. . r..-..

FLAG ON BUNKER HILL.
For the First Time Since 1776 Brit tsh colors Flew from the Mon
 umeut

Boston Post.
 Never before has the English flag waved from the top of Bunker Hill monu- ment." said John w. Dennett, the su- perintendent. while talking with a Post reporter about the presence of the Eng fish nag which was hung out from the west window at the apex. The nasS was hung there in honor of London's distin- suished scldiery now visiting Boston's ancient and honorable artillery.
 suppose the first time the English nag ever appeared on the hill was when the British drove the Americans out of the redoubt which they had made there on June 17. 1775. There was no Ameri- can nag then. It is only fair to presume there again officially from the evacuation of Boston. March II. 1776. until today, a period of 1d years.
 T have been keeper here the last thir- teen years and have lived in sight of the .monument since I was c boy, but cannot recollect having seen an English nag on Bunker Hill. The corner stone of the monument was laid by Gen. La fayette June II, 1925. The structure was completed in 1S42 and dedicated June F. lS43 Daniel Webster was the orator on both occasions.
 John B.. Goodnow was the superin- tendent from the time the hill began to attract patriotic visitors until I came here. I never heard him speak of an English flag on the hill.
 When Kossuth. the great Hungarian patriot, visited Boston early in the '50s, I believe. four great American flags were swung out from the four windows at the top and streamers of flags of all nations were strung up from four corners of the redoubt. Doubtless the English flag was there. but it held no official or honored position as 1t does today.
 "Old Glory is put out on Washington's birthday. Memorial day. Battle of Bunker Hill. the Fourth of July and on other special occasions. There wasn't an Eng fish flag about and so we had to hire this one for the occasion"

IS YOUR STOMACH ON A
 STRIKE?
There is Nothing to Prevent You Employing a Substitute to Do
 Its Work.

Employing a Substitute to Do
 Its Work.
 There is such a thing as forbearance ceasing to be a virtue even in the case of ones stomach. There Is no question but that some stomachs will stand a great deal more wear and tear and abuse than others. but they all have their limit and when that limit is reached, the stomach must be reckoned with as sure as fate. The best way and really the only effec- tive way to treat your stomach when 1t rebels Is to employ substitute to do its work. This will give the weakened and worn-out organ an opportunity to rest and regain Its strength and health.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve the stomach of it's work by taking up the work and doing it just as one set or shift of woPkmen relieves another. They ac- tually digest the food in just the same manner and just the same time as the digestive fluids of a sound stomach do. In fact when dissolved in the stomach, they are digestive fluids for they contain ex- actly the same constituents and elements as the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach. No matter what the condition of the stomach is their work Is just the same. They work in their own natural way without regard to surrounding conditions.
 The stomach being thus relieved by Stu- arts Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored and renewed by Nature and the rest of the human body does not suffer in the least by reason of it's failure to perform its work.
 A Winconsin man says: q suffered the bangs of dyspepsia for 10 years I tried every known remedy with indifferent re- suits until I was told of the remarka ble cures of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. bought box, began taking them and forgot l had stomach. Three boxes cured me completely. I have had no trouble whatever for a year and have an appetite like harvest hand and can eat anything that is set before me without fear of bad results"
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50c box The drug gist never fails to have them in stock be- cause the demand for them is so great and so pronounced that he cannot afford to be without them. People who could not get them of one druggist would go to another and would get in the habit of buying their other drugs there as well as their Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

SOME ODD BLUNDERS.
Literary People Not Exempt From Mistakes, Particularly in
 TranslatinnS

Translations.
 A daughter of J. Fenimore Cooper, the noted writer of American Indian romance. who was recently in Paris. says that while there she saw French translation of her fathers tale '"The Spy" in which were several mistakes. but one of them was such that it was almost incredible that anyone could possibly have been guilty of 1t, says Rodney Blake in the Reader. The residence of MT. Wharton, one of the characters who figure in the story, is spoken of by the author as "The Locusts." Now, the translator had been evidently ignorant of the circum- stance of there being any species of trees bearing this name. Having, therefore, looked up the word in his dictionary. and finding the definition to be given as Hes sauterelles' '-grasshoppers-thus he rem dered 1t in the text. Presently, however. he came across a paragraph in the novel in which 1t was stated that a visitor to the house of Mr. Wharton had tied his horse to a locust. Then 1t might be nat urally supposed that the translator would at once have discovered his error. Not bit of It.. His reasoning would appear to be on a parity with that of a cele- brated countryman of his when he de- clared that If the facts do not agree with the theory. so much the worse for the facts" Nevertheless. the writer seems to have been conscious that some eX- planation was necessary for so extraordi- nary a statement as that horseman had secured his steed to a grasshopper. Con sequently, he proceeded grAvely to inform his readers that in America these insects grow to an enormous size, and that. in this case, one of these-dead and stuffed of course-had been stationed at the door of the mansion for the convenience of visitors on horseback.
 In comparison with this stupendous blunder, the following mistake Of anoth- CT French litterateur. who translates a sentence in one of Sir Walter Scott's novels, becomes quite venial one Meet ing a statement in the text that some of the characters who figure In the tale had a Welsh rabbit" for supper, the translator, not aware that the term was applied to toasted cheese rendered the phrase as "un lapin du pays de Gales = "a rabbit of Wales" Not content With this, he inserted a foot note informing the reader that the rabbits of Wales were of such superior flavor that they were in great demand in Scotland. the scene of the story, and that. consequently they were forwarded to that country In con siderable numbers. No authority was given for the assertion. and 1t IS rather evident that the idea of the writer must have been evolved from his inner con- seiousness.

Ireland for the Irish.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Recent visitors to Ireland gave a most encouraging account of the new system of land tenure. The division and sale of great estates which anticipated the re- cent legislation has already, we are as- sured. made a perceptible difference in the agffeultura4 aspect of the country. and in the spirit>of the population, and squalid despair is giving away to hope full thrift. This is the best and only ''anti-emigration" argument. It means Ireland for the Irish" and the Irish for Ireland in sense never possible before. If the people can be enabled, encouraged, aided to cultivate the soil, to establish profitable industries, to accumulate the fruits of their toll. instead of having everything drained from them and grow ing even poorer, they will not need to come to America to show what Irishmen can do for the worlds enrichment and advancement. But that will be Ireland's gain, not ours.
