NEW FORM OF STRIKE.

The newest form of strike is
strike Of tenants against high rents.
The originators are the occupants of
a fiat building in New York City, and
their notion may become decidedly
popular elsewhere. An account says
that when, few weeks ago, the ten
ants of this building were notified
that on a certain date their rent was
to be raised they promptly held an in
dignation meeting. The outcome was
the adoption of a strike resolution. The
tenants refused to pay the increased
rent They likewise refused to move.
When other tenants who were will
ing to pay the higher rates came along
the occupants made life decidedly I'm
pleasant for them. Pickets were posted
and furniture vans turned away from
the building. At last accounts the O.
cupants were still in somewhat strenu-
Ously adverse possession. OF course
some method of compelling them 20
move will eventually be found by their
landlord but in the meanwhile they
will have had a few weeks more ten
ancy at the low rate than they would
have had.
Nobody will seriously dispute th ,
assertion that the tenants were in the
wrong. There is sacred thing knoW1
as property rights" which must be
respected. The landlord in this in
stance had a perfect right under our
laws, to increase the rents. The pro-
perty was his absolutely to do with
as he pleased If he had reduced the
rents instead of raising them the tell
ants would have arisen to call him
blessed. Some people will talk about
the moral obligations owners of prop
erty owe to those who are less fort;,-
nate, but experience with such people
teaches us that ones sense of moral
perception is dulled almost in proper
ton to the increase inone's holdings.
There is no disputing the statement
that rents are too high in New YOrR
Rents are also high in Salt Lake
City. But what are the people who
are obliged to rent homes and stores
and offices going to do about it? They
must pay the rent if they can, an
when they cannot pay they must nov
their belongings out into the street
And when they get there gentleman
ly officer will come along and tell the
owner of the chattels to move then
somewhere else.
But why not work harder than eve
to the end that you may become
property owner yourself?-Salt LAX

About the smallest and dirtiest piece
Of malice that has come to notice for a
long time, cropped out the other day in
the columns of the Pendleton Tribune,
in an uncalled for and misleading attack
on the integrity and honesty of County
Judge Hartman. The PendIeton paper
finds its chance in the Thompson Cum
ningham land case, to vent job lot Of
scurrillous, pestiferiously festered spleen
on man who has done more for Una
tilla county, than any amateur apostle
Of the paste pot can ever hope to equal
with the help of Mergenthaler type
setting machine and misinformed city
editor. The people of Umatilla county
know that Judge Hartman's connection
with the land deal goes no further than
official capacity, and the snake-in-the-
grass vaporlzings of a minute, misguided
swaddling, can in no way affect this
knowledge.

lights among the young people on the
farms: no longer any farms, in fact; say
ing that everything was swallowed up in
aristocracy and monopoly. 1t is COM
mon to hear such talk from city people
who know absolutely nothing about it.
There is positively not one word of
truth in such statements, as everybody
knows who was raised on farm. Home
life on the farm today is pleasanter than
ever before; the farmer has more COM
forts than he ever had before in his life;
the young people on the farms have
more encouragement and better oppor-
tunities, also better times, than they
ever had. Farm life is more attractive
and more profitable than it has ever
been. Pessimists can say what they
please and bemoan the fact that times
are not what they used to be, but the
fact remains that homes were never so
happy as now. But how easy it is to
get up wall, saying things have all
gone to the bad since older folks were
youngl Such walls indicate despair and
decay, not in the world, but in the
minds OF those who write them. The
world is bright and good. The farm is
more popular than in any of the years
gone by. The rosy-cheeked boys and
girls from the farm are just as handsome
as ever and there are plenty of them.
The farm is still the ideal place for COM
fort, health and happiness.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is also a certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful SUBJ
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists.
