Secret Societies and Boodlers.

DR.. Kuhn, Grand Master Of the
Missouri Masonic order, has. recently
delivered an address in which he ad-
vocated the expulsion of every mem
ber of the order connected with the
infamous boodling that has disgraced
the state in general and st. Louis in
particular. Out Of the thirty con-
fessed boodlers at least half q dosen
are members of the order, and al
ready some of them have been ex-
PEELED.
The significant feature of this &C
tion is that court delays have been
worked SO successfully that none Of
the men have been sent to prison,
yet they are guilty and the lodge has
acted. That the boodlers should
have membership In the secret orders
IL not surprising, because men seek-
ing political office usually try for
popularity through these societies.
No fraternal cloak should be broad
enough to cover and protect crimi-
nal. 1t will be long step toward
aiding the law and towards upbuild-
ing these societies when all secret or
ders come forward In the same way.
Men who forfeit their honor for PAL
try pieces of coin may feel that they
can escape conviction under the laws
but they can be 10 ostraclsed by their
associates in church, lodge and society
that prison walls will seem q pleasant
refuge to them. Fear Of Ostracism
may prove more potent to many than
fear Of the laws punishment.-Pueblo
Chieftain.

CAPITAL and Labor.

The following excellent article on
Capital and Labor appeared In a
recent issue Of the Durango Demo-
crat. 1t has the right ring to 1t:
1--WE may as well understand this
capital-labor difference now rs later
there can be but one outcome-one
sensible solution of all differences.
The man who employs men will con-
duct and direct the business, employ
and discharge-and do SO whether
the employe be union or non-union,
native or foreign, married or single.
1.-THE man with the job and the
price will exact days work for n
days pay, or bounce the loafer.
Merit and not affiliation with any or
ganization will be the standard by
which all who toll will be measured.
1.-THE open door to labor will be
firmly, securely and eternally estab-
lished in industry, and crime, boy
colt, dictation and outrage cut out.
Capital will not be allowed to
push down the crown Of thorns' In
way Of wages, or oppress in way Of
inhuman treatment during or after
the period Of employment.
''There shall be no lasting fedora
tion Of trade against the employe-no
permanent pooling in food products
or the essentials Of life-the open
door to labor must be met by the
open door to trade. Competition,
and not robbery. Local unions are a
necassity-as much 80 for protection
against commercial outrage, as a
guarding of the interests-social,
commercial and industrial-of the
man who tolls. Greed is the same, un-
less it be the excess in favor Of the man
who tolls, and in Durango the man,
some men who sell food products is
most assuradly out for profit that
the per diem wage scale denies that
they should have. Federated graft
ers will tell you 1t is the freights, but
to convince them of their error one
has but to buy where the dollar Sc
cures the best service and the great
est returns.
ITO brief the differences, the en-
ploye of men must be absolute In en-
ployment and discharge. Labor
must be absolute In demanding each
and every right the laws and the con-
stitution guarantees to the humblest
citizen, and labor must avoid all that
is repulsive and sympathetic.
''Our constitution forbids an alli-
ance of church and state. Labor
should forbid sympathetic spasm
when Pennsylvanis or Wyoming are
molarizing the fabric. Decency,
equity, humanity, gratitude and
sacred observance Of law will eradi-
cate all we complain Of and leave a
well cast ballot as a reserve force"

Outwittine the Police.

Her Wolf Won Schierbrand, for q
long time chief correspondent Of the
Associated Press in Berlin, tells q
story Of his last weeks there. The
Argonaut repeats the tale. Schier
brand had given information Of a toe
intimate nature about the kaiser, and
was ordered to leave.
The American ambassador secured
q respite of two weeks for him, dur
ing which he could wind up his affairs
but he was a marked man. and the
police Swallowed him night and day.
At last he hit upon the expedient
Of placing a stuffed dummy of himself
on the front porch, with Its back to,
ward the street, and while the police
zealously watched the dummy he was
daily slipping out by side door and
going unmolested about his business
disguised in pair of blue goggles and
an old SLOUGH hat.
The manikin sat in the chair, with
occasional Interruptions, from nine in
the morning till ten at night, and was
pulled inside by string at bedtime.
On the morning Of Herr Won Schier
brands departure for the United
States it was turned with its wooden
face toward the street, displaying O
small placard for the editication of the
police, reading:

IF you will be so kind"
Stepping inside, our young friend ad"
vanced Immediately to the berth, where
he found Mrs. Nevergail in a fainting
condition, caused by extreme exhaustion.
With the greatest sympathy, the doctor
at once applied proper restoratiVes,
which fortunately had the desired effect,
and soon the young girls fears were
Gained.
"Your aunt Is better now, and l think
immediate danger has passed. But l will
not deceive you; her case is beyond hui
man skill to cure"
Il know 1t, doctor, and she. also Is well
aware of her condition. My uncle died
In New York few months ago, and in
taking care of him she contracted the
cold that has ended in consumption. Our
family physician thought she might live
to reach the only relatives we have on
earth, residing in Liverpool and vicinity.
Do you think, doctor, that she will sur

81 trust so. Good nursing often &C
complishes more than medicines. We
will do all we can. Our staterooms are
fortunately near each other. so any time
that / can be Of service, do not hesitate
to inform me-" said the doctor, as he
bowed and left the narrow quarters.
One afternoon as Earle was standing
upon deck looking out upon the vast
ocean, he became conscious that light
step had approached and halted quite
near. 1t was Miss Nevergail. While
hesitating to consider whether his pres
ence would be acceptable to her, an ex-
clamation of terror startled him, and
glancing toward the spot where she
stood, he saw that she was striving to
steady herself, being dizzy from a sud-
den lurch of the steamer. Springing to
her side, he instantly offered his arm,
saying, as she gratefully accepted it.:
ALLOW me to assist you to a more
quiet place where motion will not be SO
perceptible."
THANK you," returned the young girl,
II suppose l ought not to venture upon
deck alone, unused as l am to the sea,
but am so completely fascinated by all

II never look upon a scene like this"

lows in its grasp, and rules the winds

steamer. Surrounded by strangers, it Is
not matter of surprise that feeling of
WEAKNESS and almost desolation crept
over him. He turned away from his post
Of observation on deck and sought the
more lively saloon. Taking a book from
one of the tables, he affected to read.
Presently his eyes rested upon mid
dle-aged lady, who seemed In feeble
health, as she leaned back languidly In
an easy chair, while her pale face and
attenuated figure spoke of prolonged suf-
ferings, but patient spirit. Her dark
eyes continually wandered towards the
door.
DR.. Elfenstein looked at her with in
creasing interest.
Suddenly a brighter look loated into
the lady's eyes. Following the range of
her vision, ne was surprised at beholding
the most perfect picture of youthful
beauty he had ever yet beheld. 1t was
all embodied In the person Of a young
girl Of about twenty summers, who smil-
| ingly drew near. She spoke, and the
melodious accents Of her voice filed
Earle with delight.
Aunt Gertrude, are you weary? I
stayed out longer than l intended, but
l could not bear to lose sight Of the
faintest speck Of the land we have left
behind us. 1t has all disappeared now,
and the sea, the sea, the deep blue sea,
at this moment is on every side, rising
and sinking in all its beauty. Shall l
lead you toyeur stateroom, auntie? Per-
haps 1t would be as well for you to lie
down before you become seasick and
faint"
Il feel rather dizzy now, my love, and
will take your advice"
Rising slowly, the feeble woman lean
ed on the strong young arm of her niece,
and 80 passed to a stateroom quite near
the one engaged by himself, and the
young physician smiled contentedly, that
they were to be close neighbors during
the voyage.
Several days passed in rather an I'M
eventful way, frightened occasionally by
a glimpse of the young girl, whose name
he found to be Ethel Nevergail.
One rough and stormy day was draw
ing to a close when, leaving the damp
atmosphere Of the deck, where he had
passed a couple of hours watching the
leaden sky and the storm-lashed waves,

room, was startled by low cry Of dis
may coming from the room of Mrs. New

These are the varieties that are gen.

In our judgment the Boone County

Mills County Prize are better adapted
to the southern part Of the State, say
as far north as the Rock Island Rail
road. Here again elevation must de-
termine. The higher divides south Of
the Rock Island will not grow as early
