The Unorganized Public.

But the unorganized public. where
will it come in? The professional man,
the lecturer, the writer, the artist, the
farmer. the salaried government en-
pIoye, and all the host of men who are
not engaged in the actual production OF
delivery of necessary material things,
how will they fare2 No one can deny
that already the great public has had
the worst of the labor dispute and the
labor combination. The public put it's
hand down in its pocket and paid the
price for an agreement in the anthra-
cite coal f1elds-is paying today, will
pay tomorrow Now, is there any doubt
that the income of organized labor and
the profits of organized capital have
gone up enormously, while the man on
q salary and most of the great middle
class paying much more for the neces-
saries of life, have had no adequate in
crease in earnings? We have been
signing for labor and capital to get
together: we have been telling them
that they are brothers. that the interest
of one is the interest of the other. Here
they are together; are we any better

GENERAL COLLAPSE"

I'VE have several eminent citizens
left over" said the Idaho man who
was on his way east. but we lost a
good man in our town one day last
week. and everybody is mourning his
taking off While the coroner's jury
returned verdict of general collapse
of the system. l feel sure that / know
the true cause of his untimelv demise.
His name was Jim Stow, and he
was an ambitious man. He didn't want
to be alderman, mayor, postmaster Or
state senator. but he did want to in
vent a new and thrilling cocktail that
should be thoroughly identified with
our people, and give him standing
all over the United States. In fact, he
wanted to shine in the cocktail line as
badly as some poets do in theirs. The
compound he was after was to be
known the world over as the idaho
and to be in every way worthy of our
great and glorious commonwealth.
ITO my own knowledge" continued
the passenger. after taking time to
heave sigh, "he had been experiment
ing for the last five years with whisky,
brandy, cognac, champagne, cider, beer,
wines, quinine, morphine, and various
acids and drugs. On several occasions
he almost hit it off, and was encOur-
aged to live on and keep irving. and if
there was any collapse to it, it was
brought about by the action of so many
decoctions on the system. Either that
or he finally struck something that
tickled him to death.
He was by no means an angel in
his moral character. but he was enter
prisin= and full of a desire to bring
idaho to the front as a cocktail state
and it is needless to add that 1 was one
of the Dallbearers at his funeral and
am still suffering the appointment
of his sudden abandonment of what
would have surely proved a boon to
general humanity.

that the Captains Courageous" of the

such lusty vigor, are now at last trem-

story of eherubic Professor Child of
Harvard, who, in his frugal youth, or
dered a single fisf1ball and piece of

the startling sequel of the timid request
