The situation as set forth by Senator
Allison, as the Republican sees it, is
that the only failure of reciprocity is
the failure to get it thru the senate. It
is because reciprocity is success in

that Senator Allison proposes to remove

WITHOUT A PARTY

Brother Cramb, in the Fairbury
(Neb.) Journal, honors The Independ-
ent with column editorial under the
caption above, presumably intended as
ali answer to an inquiry in The INDIE
nendent of Sept. 3. entitled, "a Waste
of Energy" But he fails to answer
the question, after all.
Brother Cramb is in error when he as
serts that "The Nebraska Independent
thinks that the Journal and Golden
Rule Jones are wrong in believing that
more real gain can be made in political
reforms without parties than with
them" The Independent intimated
nothing of the sort. 1t simply in
duired how the thing could be accom-
plished. And the gist of Brother
Crambs answer is that when all men
cast their ballots freely without regard
to party or organization, every pub
lie official will be held to strict ac-
countability." Doubtless. But wher
will this halcyon age be reached, and
what can the Journal and The indie
pendent do to hasten its coming?

The recent rumblings from boss-ridden Penn
sylvania indicate that Governor Pennypacker's ia
nous libel law has become obsolete. This was pre-
dicted from the beginning by those who were cog
infant of prevailing conditions. strict enforce
ment of this law would have aroused the entire
of the state, and that would have meant defeat for
the governor. It was also self-evident that the
governor lacked that mbativeness of spirit which
necessary to those who create innovations
trary to the thought and age in which they move.
The purpose of this law patent to all who ale
familiar with the kind of politics which prevail
throughout the state of Pennsylvania. It was boss
rule run amuck but plans have miscarried all along
the line.
However, the law having failed of it's purpose
the war clouds lowering ominousy around
the great dimensions of Governor Pennypacker's
head, as they the unspeakable Turks border
line Today he is the most prosecuted and lam
pooned man in the United States Beneath this
avalanche of caustc satire wnces the erstwhle proud
and chesty destroyer of the freedom of the press,
powerless to move or to shield himself behind his
Infamous libel law. How the mighty have fallen!
Already he is learning to lisp the portentous hand
writing on the wall. His senatorial bee has been
killed by fright, and his gubernatorial ambition is
slowly dying.
The democratic party at its recent convention
has pledged itself to repeal the law, the republican
press vigorously condemning it, and all the self
respecting citizens of Pennsylvania deplore it. If
that state does not get honest election and clean
administration account of Pennypacker's libel
law it will not be the fault of the press of Pennsyl
vania Just at present. however, it looks as if the
governor, at the coming election, would be sum-
marily hoisted by his own petard.

In THE history of labor organizations sunionism
has never before witnessed such prosperous times
was in such fourishing and opulent condition as
it is today. While unions have met with re-
less stubborn their progress has been
marked. The arrogance of some of ourlabor unions,
however, is seriously menacing the of union
ism. Where unionism is turbulent and excessively
exacing in it's demands, it becomes dangerous to
the peace and prosperity of the commonwealth. It
is plainly evident that the chief aim of this class of
labor unions is to get all they and then go for
more. The day is not far distant when strong
hand will be required to check the encroachments
of unscrupulous organized labor, or else we shall
witness such reign of mob violence as has been SO
wildly depicted by Ignatus Donnelly in his "Ce.
sar's Column
No one questions the right of labor to organize
for mutual protection, but when that protection is
maintained by coercion bloodshed strikes and boy
colts, halt should be called. Strikes throw a whole
community into dsorganized state and often put
in jeopardy life and property New York, Chicago,
San Francisco and other large manufacturing CEN
tiers are all suffering acute pain from mismanaged
unionism Australia is being ground to death by
too much unionism; and New Zealand that much
advertised Utopia, sn the samedeplorabe condition.
The trouble underlying our modern labor unions
is that their growth has been too rapid They lack
conservatism and sound business methods in their
construction well as in the exploitation of their
principles and demands against capital. A higher
order of intelligence in their personnel is needed.
They also must abolish some of their hateful by
laws, abrogate the sympathetic strike principle, and
discharge the Notwithstanding walking delegate.
Until these reforms are inaugurated labor unions
will be seriously handicapped in their struggle
against capital.
However, there appears to be no cessation of
the strife between these two formidable forces Not
a day passes but what difference of opinion hobs
serenely to the surface and results in strike Why
do not labor organizations husband their sinews of
war; purchase those manufacturing concerns against
which they are warning and run them to suit them
selves especially the wage schedulesp This, per-
haps, would prove emnently satisfactory to all con-
cerned and prevent many unnecessary strikes.

There seems to be many kinds
OF trouble brewing in Indian Ter
ritory. In some respects that ter
ritory seems to have outgrown it's
clothes. It has grown with such
suddenness, leaps and bounds from
a mere baby to manhood's estate,
metaphorically speaking, that the
laws and all the adjuncts, appur-
tenances, etc., etc., that should 60
with and which properly belong to
SO important section of country
have failed to keep up with it. In
the transitional period between the
Indian rule and the federal rule
which began about seven years
ago the Indians have suffered from
serious injustice and most of the
governments philanthropic plans
seem to have miscarried in one
way or another. The distribution
of the rich lands that belonged to
the five civilized nations has at
tracted many INSCRIPTIONS specu-
lators to the growing towns in the
territory.
The irrigation convention which
was held September Is to Is in
Ogden, Utah, was an event of great
Importance. Utah having been
the first state or territory to adopt
irrigation, it was fitting that the
first great council for the discus
sion of the reclamation of the arid
lands to take place after the passing
of the national law should have
met in that state. Irrigation is i'm
it's infancy, but it is growing rap
idly and now that the national
treasury Is beginning to be utilized
as fertilizer, the creeks, rivers,
ponds and lakes in some fifteen or
sixteen western states and terri
tories will soon be made to grow
and blossom as the rose, or at least
these waters will be made to CO.
operate with the soil in forcing
productiveness.
Congress recently appropriated
$40, 100000 just to start the ball
rolling, but this appropriation will
be followed up with many more
millions from time to time and
every dollar judiciously expended
in irrigation will, in the course of
few years, return hundred-fold.
Judicious, but generous govern
ment aid in irrigating the millions
of acres of arid lands in the west
will be the means Of enhancing the
value of these lands ten-fold in
the near future, and while it means
incalculable wealth, for the owners
of the now arid lands of the west,
it will also prove of great benefit
directly or indirectly to the peo-
pie of the entire country, east,
west, north and south.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Some men can grow a better crop
of whiskers on the back of their
necks than on their faces.
Fall, winter, spring and summer
weather never forget to accompany
the respective seasons in northern
latitudes, but this year September
has rather overdone it in produc-
ing chilly weather in this part of
the country.

an editorial in The Mentor, Charles
town, Massachusetts,: 'THE MIR
RoR recently completed it's seven

inally written prison paper in
America. We have read The

gratulations to The MIRROR and

According to the New York
World there will be II men in the
58th Congress who fought in the
Civil War. Forty-seven fought on
the Union side and thirty cast
their lot with the Confederates. In
the House there are "a who fought
for the North and seventeen who
fought for the South. In the
Senate there are three men who
were brigadier generals in the
Confederate army and two who
we're Union brigadiers. In the
House there are three Federal
brigadiers, while the highest rank
held by ex-Confederates is that OF
Colonel. There are fourteen ex-
governors in the Senate.
A controversy has arisen in some
Of the eastern colleges bearing on
the relative value of the work OF
men and women as school-teachers.
Of more than five hundred men
and a few less of women who
passed judgment in the matter, 81
per cent of the former were in fa-
vor of male teachers and the WON
en- were divided evenly, 5Oper cent
on each side of the sex line. The
majority Of these men and women
are of the opinion that women are
better adapted than men to the
instruction of pupils under nine
years of age and that men are bet
ter fitted for the work with those
above the age of thirteen. Opin-
ions nearly balance in respect to
preference of teachers for pupils
between nine and thirteen years of
age.
One of the most interesting mat
ters connected with natural history
is the homing instinct in animals.
The long journeys performed and
the difficulties overcome in return
ing to the place to which they are
attached, make it apparent that
many animals and birds are in
possession of one instinct or sense
not possessed by the human family
and this is the sense of localiza-
ton, the ability to locate places or
objects. And the extraordinary
attachment displayed by many
animals for their old home is most
wonderful. This is more especially
true of domestic animals and pets,
cats and dogs possessing the hon.
ing instinct in a marked degree.
