We believe that many people who are
sincere aud honest in their belief nay
be found on both sides of the ques
ton. They are opposing or faguriuR
the matter because they believe their

there are those opposing the PROPOSE
ton because others are Ia favor OF It.,
among them may be found some who

In another column We publish an
article from a writer Of the McClure's
Magazine giving a review Of the strike
conditions in the Colorado mines.
Readers Of the papers know that at
least part Of what be says is true.
The districts have been the scenes Of
murder, arson aud all kinds Of law
lessness at times for several years and
not a man has been convicted by
Law Whether the Western Federation
Of Miners Is responsible for these
things a. an organization We cannot
say, but 1t is held responsible By the
public and has made no effort to
prove otherwise by assisting the
authorities IN running down and con
vlcting the guilty. The evidence
accumulates that the Western Fedora
tion of Miners il iawless organiza.
ton operating under the cloak Of uu
ionism and the sooner IL is denounced
by law respecting unions aud union
men, the better 1t will be for the cause
which they represent. No one can
read this story Of crime without feel
ing that the Colorado Minersu Mons
are unlawful organizations, from the
fact that they encourage, II they do
not actually participate In the most
serious crimes known to orr laws.
Labor organizations cannot afford to
Uphold the acts Of the Colorado
Miners any more than other citizens
can uphold the lawless acts Of the
socalled Citizens COMMITTEES. -

RECIPROCIrY rHAr COUNTS.

While the golden rule 10 not al
ways strictly adhered to by every
business man In community, most
Of the dealers in Occur d'Alene praet-
ice it toward the printers by patron
izing the home Institutions, aud those
who fail to do so should set better
example to the general public. The
Press believes in the principle Of pat
rouizing home institutions Ia every
line of business and in the profess
sions. There are many reasons why
this should be dope. In the first
place most every one depends on the
community for a living aud If the
practice of patronizing outsiders
we're extensive the community that
sent its money away would soon be-
come dead town, with no business,
no employment for It's mechanics
and laboring men and general
stagnation that would affect every
one. TIE person who is tempted to
buy out of town should remember
these things.
There is another bad habit with
which this community is afflicted
at the present time. This is the
season when the fake peddlers and
other grafters ply their trade aud
work on the ereduIitF Of the kindly
disposed lady of the house by making
her believe that they have a great
bargain to offer in the article they
have to sell In nine GASES out Of ten
1t is fake and dear at any price.
Some of these fakirs are so impudeut
and persistent that they almost force
themselves into the house regardless
Of the protests of the housewife that
she does not wish to invest. The
proper way to serve thsse impudent
tmposters is to shut the door in their
face. They are not entitled to any
better treatment when they insist on
invading the home against your wish
Is. The city authorities should
take hold Of this nuisance and make
these fakirs pay a license. The
present ordinance on the subject
ought to be enforced and il should
be the duty Of every citizen who pays
taxes to report every peddler to the
authorities who visits your home, SO
that he would be compelled TO pay
his share of the taxes IN the form Of a
license. The cooperation of the
citizens in this matter will be the
means of helping out the city treas
ury. in addition to lssssuing the nun

In recent issue Of the Boise
Capital News, the leading democratic
paper Of south Idaho, appears the
following:
The morning paper (refeFriug to
the Statesman asserts that Senator
Turner, of Washington, will follow
the Dubois anti Mormon program
Quite likely this Is true, since from
time immemorial fowls Of a feather
have flocked together. Turner Is a
new convert to democracy, having been
elected TO the senate as silver re-
publican, aud gravitating into the
democratic party because he had
burned the bridges behind him to the
extent that he could not go back into
the Old party"
The logic of this is that some dem
eerats do not welcome new recruits
to their party. We supposed that
such men as George Turner
would be warmly received by any
party. Some of the democrats are so
hid bound that they do not want new
recruits, but wish to keep the party
alive by the laws OF nature, which
create democrats just because my
father aud my grandfather we're dem
ocrats. There Is no question
about the Capital News being moss
back in democracy, beauss 1t is always
complaining about the new recruits
and wailing because they are getting
to the front and injecting some new
life into the bourbons II all dem
ocrats we're like the Capital News
democracy would soon be confined in
small compass; but the crowd might
be very select.

The editor of the independent has
again shown his inability to edit
his own paper by publishing an edi-
torial written by an alleged demo
ratio doctor, who would read the
Press out of the democratic party.
For his benefit and the benefit of the
Independent We will say that the
Press is an independent demo
catic paper, Is not controlled by
any faction and will use its own
pleasure about supporting nOmi-
nees on the county ticket. II any
Of them are not the right kind Of
men we shall oppose their election
without asking the alleged democratic
doctor or any other person II the
independent editor wishes to turn bis
editorial columns over to little ring
of rule or ruin democrats In this
county it is his privilege to do so
The Press has never been charged With
permitting any old sore head with .
grievance or grudge against another,
to vent their spleen through its edi-
torial columns, even though our urit-
ten efforts may not suit the ideas Of
certain factiouai disturbers.

any faction uud while they may fight
its state aud national ticket. a. they
have done in the past, they sill not

The Press does not believe that all

for there are many good men with
honest intentions who sincerely be-
liere that socialism Is the pauacea
for all ills: but 1t Is fact that most
all anarchists are socialists. This
