SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
Comment on the Injunction Secured
by the walters Union of Omaha.
MInnaanolia Journal.

Minneapolis Journal.
The granting of an injunction by Judge
Dickinson of the district court at Omaha,
upon the application of the Walters union
now on strike, to restrain the Business
Mems association from interfering with the
affairs of the labor unions, is a movement
of some interest.
The association Is charged with ~conspir-
ing to destroy the labor unions. and many
speeihcations are made to form a basis for
the application without comment and the
business men will have an opportunity TO
contest charges OF Unlawful acts. Among
these is named the employment OF i'm
ported nonunion labor which, of course.
Is not unlawful as the right OF an employer
10 employ labor when and where he
pleases, whether the labor employed is sub
feet to a union or not, is fully sustained by
common law and many decisions Of the
courts and was recently specialized by the
| Anthracite Coal Strike commission in it's
report as an unassailable right. The right
10 hire and the right TO employ labor IL
incontestabie. So. IL the right Of either
labor or capital TO apply for an Injunction
incontestable. Labor unions have bitterly
denounced injunctions intended 10 keep
them from encroaching upon the rights OF
~nonunion men and employers, but they are
at liberty to apply for and obtain. intunc-
lions to restrain employers from encroach+
ing upon their own rights. The courts are
open to them. The facilities are theirs.

the future of this city. 1t is the ques-
ton whether we are to have an open

There are zone so blind as those who
will not see. Employers who persist in
their refusal to recognize trades unions
seem to be oblivious of the stubborn
fact that trades unions exist and must
lie reckoned with as factors in u mod.
erin industrial organism. To deny their
existence is about as rational as would
be the denial by workingmen of the
potential force exerted by l~abor-saving
machinery and the revolution wrought
by mechanical appliances in the produc-
tion of fabrics and commodities that
were formerly produced entirely by
hand labor.

An Incident of Prosperity.


President Ramsey OF the Wabash railroad
says it is not the tight money market, but
the high cost OF labor and materials that
has caused the suspension OF work on the
Little Kanawha extension. Some weeks ago
several western railroads discontinued ex-
tensions and improvements on account of
the cost of labor and materials. When the
buyers find the market too high for them,

come down to meet the views OF the buyers

of sore mouth. An examination VIII

Perhaps as simple q way NJ any OF

these sores thoroughly. then apply

Weeds and Cucumbers.

I have had some difficulty IN the
past to keep cucumber vines In good
shape.
This year I tried two little expert
ments which l would like to give an
account of.
1. I have always tried to keep my
patches clean of weeds. This is a
mistake. This year 1 kept the weeds
down in Il portion Of my patches or
melons and cucumbers. while in the
other they were allowed to grow.
Result: The weeds held moisture, n
the vines among them did not burn
nearly as bad as those kept clean.
.. By the side of each vine which
was not protected from the u l
placed a two-gallon l;eg Of water. and
then let a rag string about an inc
wide hang down its side, by which the
water would drip on the roots. This
is a perpetual fountain. and preserves
the vines comparatively green even in
the hottest weather. Weeds have q
mission.-Tennessee Farmer.

Ene,n,e. of Mud Should Unite.

iT6l l6I NE great reason for the
~ III prevalence Of bad roads
throughout the United
EO|s States is lack Of agree
EgH Gl ment and united action
among the advocates Of Improvement.
Everybody prefers good roads to bad.
Everybody knows that the roads can
be improved only by the expenditure
of money and labor. But here Tie
agreement ends. There is a great va
r:ety of ideas and schemes for secur-
ing the desired object. There is no end
of discussion. but very little is accom-
plished. Some people would rather
travel through mud than to have the
roads improved by any other plan
than their own pet scheme Thus
road reformers themselves sometimes
actually hinder the cause to which they
are devoted.
If the roads Of the country are to be
| made good within the lifetime OF the
| present generation it is high time the
| advocates Of good roads should unite
in support of n few general propcsl-
lions. and 60 to werk in favor OF a
general plan. If a national good ROADS
movement ever gets started nothing
can stop it. 1t will sweep everything
before it. But the difficulty is TO get it
started.
One great advantage possessed ny
| the national aid plan, which is now be-
coming so popular, is that it is general
| instead Of sectional or local. 1t Is
| broad AS the whole country. 1t can
bring into harmonious united action
the friends Of good roads in every
State, and it is the only plan yet pro-
posed that can do this.
The friends of national aid will make
a mistake if they undertake to work
( II details in advance. They will dis
agree among themselves and give Oh
iections every advantage. They shouid
60 to work for the general principle
and leave details to be worked Out
later. This was the plan of action
| adopted by Gladstone. When his OPP
ponents asked for details Of any grea'
reform which he advocated Gladstone
would answer: There will be time
enough to work out the details when
we get the power" The advocates OF
national aid will do we'll to emulate
the example Of this great English
statesman. They should organize
everywhere and fight for the principle
leaving details 10 be worked out ia due
time. -

Local Road Building.

The old-fashioned theory was tina
each local community should Dulld
and maintain its OWL roads. III II
made good roads, its people had the
benefit of them. and if they were BAD
tbe. suffered accordingly. Strangers
passing through Jared we'll or Ill pre-
cisely as the residents along the line.
But we are changing all that. I
e,ers in steam carriages want better
roads than most rural communities
care TO build. and owners of :inacces-
sib!e. unsettled lands want roads built
for them. In several Eastern States
the State now pays one-thlrd the cost
Of constructing or reconstrIcting ROADS
when built according to speclhcations
prepared by a State engineer, the local
community, OF course. caring for them
when built. At the last election the
neop,e OF California. in 4 fit OF unparal-
leIed stupidity. adopted a constitutional
amendment permitting State road
building on a scale unheard or before
we presume, in any community, CIVIL
iyod ~ uncivilized. Under that amend
mcnt the Legislature may build roads
all over the State. paying therefor en-
tirely from the State treasury, II not
only build them, but maintain them
forever. OF course the Legislature
will not build roads everywhere. u
only in those places possessing the
strongest pull. Large land owners
who are to be benefited. will probably
raise funds to buy votes IN the Legisia-
ture. or members will trade votes with
each other. ard so make two ROADS
grow where only II grew Defore.
Since that is what the people wanted
and voted for. it is. Of course. all riSh''
but il is a curious taste. Now comes
Congressman c. T. Brownlow. OF Ten
nessee. who introduced in the late on
cress a bill creating q full bureau OF
public roads," with an appropriation
of $1,000 For salaries and expenses
and $4,000 900 for paying one-half the
cost of good roads" in different states
and Territories. the amount available
70 anv State to be in the ratio or It's
population The State or local district
applying pays the other half OF the
cost. This bill vas never reported
from committee. but will be relntro-
duced In the next CONGRESSMAN FRAN

Enise Irish Potatoes.

1t Is extremely seldom that potatoes
do not bring a good price in any part
Of the South. To 4 few who have
studied the best methods of raising
them they have been very profitable.
H. B. Mitchell, Of Athens, Ga. gives
his way of raising potatoes as follows:
If possible. potatoes should follow
peas or cloyer, as these crops not only
afford nitrogen, but their roots also
furnish hpmus, rendering the soil loose
and friable and retaining moisture,
which is so essential to success in
growing this crop. Tie ground should
be broken deep the previous fall and
slightly ridged in order that the acton
Of freezes may pulverize it in better
shape. AS early in the spring as
danger OF frost is past, rebreak ground,
Law off row with turning plow, run
ming twice (once each way in each Of
