Labor Unions.

This labor question in the great
cities of the United States has be.
come very serious problem. The
various labor organizations have be-
come so strsng and SO thoroughly
organized that they can practically
dictate, not only their wages and
hours, but, to great extent, the
policy of the business of their en-
ployers. Power and organization
are great things and when exercised
for the general good are to be COM
mended, but where organization be.
comes dictatorial and overbearing it
necessarily forces counter organiza-
tions.
We notice in a number of the
large cities strikes and arbitrary
walkouts among the various trades
are becoming so frequent and exten-
sive as to interfere very materially
with the business Of the country, and
that their frequency and annoy
auce is causing business men and
employers of capital and influence
to band themselves together to re-
sist the encroaches of union organi-
cations. This should not be neces-
sary. The unions should understand
that the interests of employer and
employed are identical and should
not be antagonlstic in any way.
A compact organization of labor
ing men for their mutual improve
ment and benefit is just and proper
but they should always have due
regard for the rights of those fur
nishing the capital that makes it
possible for labor to be employed.
This system of walking delegates
and sympathetic strikes is wrong
and works great hardship on the
employed as we'll as the employer.
A union of laborers and employees
may become as oppressive and arro-
CANT as an aggregation of capital un-
l.ss controlled and held in check by
reasonable, intelligent and honor
able men.

The Festive School Marin is Now Abroad in the Ian

We occasionally see sort of sup
pressed whine in our Democratic
contemporaries about the advanced
cost of living these days and ex-
pressions of sympathy tor the extra
costs on the laboring man. Their
sympathy seems to be lost on the
laboring man however. 1t has been
but few days since laboring mar,
who votes the Democratic ticket by
the way, met us on the street and
with happy ringing voice exclaim-
ed, "Ain't times good though" We
are all right while things stay %
they are." Wonder if he could be
induced to vote for Cleveland, or
any other Democrat on a platform
to knock this prosperity all out?
We had little conversation with
a teamster recently who keeps sew
eral first class teams. He assured
us he never made as much money
in his life as he is making now. Of
course our oil development Is max
ing extra work (here, but practically
the same conditions exist every
where. AS we werS passing along
the streets of lola last Saturday
evening we passed group of me-
chanics. Just as we passed one re-
marked that his services were worth
Sc. 90 per day and that he got it.
From the expressions of the other
men, we judged that to be the wages
they were receiving.
The efforts of our good Demo-
cratic friends to create dissatisfac-
tion among laboring people and
cause them to vote for a change OF
administration will be futile. They
are too we'll satisfied with present
conditions. Suppose they do pay
little more for their beefsteak, their
flour, their ham and eggs and their
clothing. They are getting wages
to amply justify it and have work
every day. There can be no great
surplus of labors or mechanics any
where in the surrounding country or
they would come in here where
there is such crying demand for
help. 1t would seem the conditions
are such that labor is fully employ
ed throughout the length and
breadth of the land and at very fair
prices.

Should the Democratic party nom

and silver platform for the west,

labor, with the negroes disfranchis-

COMMENCEMENT

The class of 'os gave in Williams
opera house Wednesday night, in
stead of performances bv the class,
an address by Prof. Frank Nelson,
Ex-state Supt. of Public Instruction.
The hall was beautifully decorated
and a good crowd gathered to hear
the address and wish God speed 10
the young graduate.
Mr.. Nelson's address was elo-
quent and full Of profound thoughts
and wholesome advise for the bene-
fit of the young graduate. Some
how no one can listen to an address
by Mr.. Nelson without being in
spired to loftier thoughts and higher
aspirations. His theme was "Char-
acter Making" and if the members
of this class would but heed his sug-
gestions and act thereon. they
would become better and wiser men
and women as the years go by. He
urged upon the class the neces-
sity of the constant reading of good
books, Not the trashy, frivolous
nonsense with which the shelves Of
our book stores are filled or the
hashy trash of the cheap story paper
but books of good solid merit by
our best authors. Books that go to
the building and broadening of a
higher and nobler character. Books
that inspire pure and holy thoughts
instead of those that tend to drag
down and degrade.
And by reading good books, he
said he did not mean hasty scan
ming of the pages in a mad rush tc
see how many words could be pass
ed over with scarcely a thought as
to meaning or argument presented,
but a careful perusal and study thai
the full meaning and argument of
the author might be comprehended
and his style studied and made .
part of your accomplishments. In
mapping out a course of reading
the first thing for the young gradu
ate or any other person who desires
to improve by reading, is to care
fully and studiously select a series
of the very best known and most
reputable authors and then study
them as have been studied the text
books in school. The course of
reading for the young should be
varied and general, and should en-
brace the whole field of literature
fiction, poetry, history, biography,
politics, science, art, music and,
last but not least, the newspaper.
No young person can be educated
or appear to advantage who is not
thoroughly posted on current events
or cannot converse intelligently on
the political topics of the. day. So
many young people and even educa-

Salt Trust Fined $1,000.

San Francisco, CAL, May a.
The case of the United States ver-
sus the Federal Salt Company was
finally ended in the United States
court today by Judge DeHaven,
who, in rendering judgment on the
case, sentenced the company to pay
fine of 1000, it having pleaded
guilty to violating the provisions of
the Sherman antitrust law.-Kan-
sas City Journal.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-05-22

tors seem to forget that a great ele-
ment of education is a thorough
knowledge of events as they trans
pire. The active events of to day
that are passing before your eyes in
panoramic form, form the history
of tomorrow, which your children
and your children's children will
study in the text books. The young
people of to- day lived through the
history making epoch of the Span
ish-American war. Those who care
fully read the newspapers during
those stirring events, have pages of
the worlds history stored up in their
minds from which to. draw in after
life. But great as is the benefit to
be derived from reading books,
magazines and papers. necessary as
it is, the practical part of an educa-
tion is the study of mankind.
During your future life you are
constantly to associate and deal
with men instead of children as
heretofore. The whole teaching of
youth is to believe what you are
told and trust implicitly your sem
iors. Now you must begin to unlearn
the lessons of youth and to learn a
new philosophy. Like the Miss
ourian you must now demand to be
shown. You have to take the great
world as it is and deal with it, not
as your ideals would make it, but as
you find it. The motlvesand in
centives of men must be studied
and their thoughts and conclus-
ions analyzed and understood. The
successful politician is the man
who takes men for what they are
and not for what they claim to be,
and the essence of politics pervades
all conditions OF business and social
life and he who succeeds best, other
things being equal, is the one who
can the best read and understand
the motives and actions of those by
whom he is surrounded.
Your lives are potent for great
work. The world is before you to
conquer or to be conquered. The
fields Of labor as numerous as the
stars, and the good to be accom-
plshed is limitless. The strong
character, the self willed, the deter
miued, active man or woman with a
pure heart and an earnest desire for
a better and higher life and a
burning desire to benefit humanity
and make this world better will find
a broad field, a ready harvest and
few labors. The golden grain of
success is ready for the sickle, lead
out,

A BED OF GOLD.

Pretty .:eariy every person in Bis
 bee must have seen the sample rocks shown in the windows of the store of Jeweler Henkel during the past few days, in which is to be seen solid gold embedded in the rock in wonderful ex- tent This sample in various sizes Is the wonder of the mining camp, and is exciting the most intense interest. The ores comes from the mines of the Soledad Mining company. whose full page advertisement appears on the last page of The Review today. The writer of this article has seen most of the gold mines of this little eartp of ours; has seen the hardy miners of the north digging the yellow metal from the creeks of the klondike; has seen the gold fields of South Africa and of Australia, but the samples ex- hibi.ed from the Soledad exceed any thing in appearance and value yet seen anywhere. Mir O. B. Steen, gem tleman of experience and wide knowi- edge of mining generally, became the owner of over 10000 feet of this in- tenseiy rich section, and has recently returned to Bisbee, where he organized in but few days one of the strongest companies entering the field Of devel- oping what promises to be the bonanza of all mining deals in the history Of this country or of Mexico thus far. IT can scarcely be doubted that those who take advantage of the opportunity to take shares in this company under the liberal arrangements offered, will make handsome return on :heir investment. The terms are very easy. as the first payment on each share of stock is only s1, and the shares are delivered through the Miners and Merchants bank of this city. and the strongest financial and most experienced mining men of CO chise county are at the head or the company, well known for their man agerial ability and economy Of opera tion. It would be well to read over the announcement of the company

WOMEN OF THE oLoEN TIMES.

Race suicide and the decrease in the number of children born to American parents are questions that are just now occupying the public attention.
 A recent article by a writer in g monthly magazine contrasts the large families of the early days of the re public with the small ones of the pres ent day, with a masterful pen.
 This portrayal of the experiences of the patient women of the oiden times. when women not only bore many children but were overburdened with the toil and care necessary to bring them up, is graphic in its cor
