GOLDEN KEY or SPOKANE
GIVEN QUEEN ELIZABETH

1t appears to be one Of those ques-
tions that must be tried out In the
great crucible Of practical expert
ence-the friction Of agitation, of
give and take, of success and failure
JUST as all progress Of whatsoever
kind Is made. During the past two
or three decades labor has discover
ed that its greatest success has been
along the line OF organized effort on
the part of those of kindred inter-
ests; hence the labor unions. And,
my friends, the wonderful success
Of the unions in the lettering Of the
conditions Of the wage Garner is
sure guarantee that the union 10 here
TO stay. That explains why between
five and six thousand wage earners
of Spokane are represented here to-
night, actuated by common pur-
pose. There is a bond Of union and
fealty pervading the entire ranks of
organized labor. And it Is a senti-
ment Of interdependence that Is bound
to grow and crystalize into greater
benefits as time advances. And why
should not the uneducated wage earn
er organize? Do not his educated
brethren Of the legal. medical and
other fraternities set the example?
If you want a case tried in court, 1t
must be handled by a union lawyer
before a union Judge. If you are
sick. and are wise. you will be treat
ed by a union physician. These fra
ternities have found organization is
essential to their success, and while
they style themselves the bar, So
ciety or business association. the
union priciple Is there nevertheless.
The business men, recognizing the
power to be derived from united eff
fort, have organized for the advance
ment Of the business interests of the
city. 1t is styled the chamber of
commerce. Actuated by like motives,
organized labor has instituted this
Trades council and are ambitious of
making 1t of equal Importance in
the city's welfare.
cit Is true that at times SOME
unions are somewhat unreasonable
and guilty of injustice. But so are
many trusts and corporations badly
managed and viciously unjust in their
treatment of the public. The labor
union is not yet perfect. but 1t will
improve as its members become more
enlightened through experience, study
and fraternal intercourse. The union
stands for all that Is best In its
particular craft. Tho craftsman who
does not belong to his union, may
every time. be put down ~ morally
wrong" mentally weak and deficient
In skill. The union stands for the
best manhood, the best skill, the best
oitixsuship, the highest intelligence,
in the ranfs Of labor. The union man
loves his home. his union, his town,
his country, and win night for his nag.
Can you ask anything more of organ
lied labor?"

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending September
81. The first half of the past
week was unseasonably cold,
wet and cloudy, and the last
three days were fair and much
more favorable for the matured
crops. At the Des Moines sta
tion the daily average tempera-
ture was 8 degrees below nor
NAL. The deficiency was great
er in the west and north, and
less in the south and east dis
tricts. In all sections light to
heavy frosts were reported and
at a few stations the frosts were
described as killing" on the
18th and Is. Later reports,
however, do not justify this ex-
IRENE designation, except as to
effects on tender vegetation
and on very low ground. The
corn crop appears to have es-
capped any very serious damage
even in localities where the
temperature was lowest. The
subsequent drying winds have
been very favorable to the
most advanced portion of the
crop, and corn harvesters have
begun operations in all sections.
With continued ripening wealth
err the bulk of the crop will be
safe from harm by frost by
Sept. 30th. But some of the
area planted will yield nothing
but poor fodder. Threshing
was delayed by wet weather,
and reports indicate consider
able damage to grain in stacks

The Republican county con-
will be held in this CITY

The Republican county con-
vention will be held in this city
tomorrow, Sept. 23d. The pres
ent county officers will be re-
nominated and the prospects
seem to be good for the NOM
.ination of A. Edgecomb of Mis-
souri, Valley for the position of
member of the board of super
visors. Mr.. Edgecomb is a man
thoroughly competent to fill the
position of member of the
board. He is a man of fine
business ability, a competent
judge of the wants of the peo-
pie of the county, and it is safe
to say that if he is nominated
and elected he will see to it
that there will be no boodling
in the county contracts while
he is on the board. He has
made a financial success of his
own business and would run the
affairs of the county, as far as
he was concerned, on the same
principles he has run his own
business for twenty-five years.
The Republicans could not find
abetter mln for the position.
