 MT. Lewis ended his address with an earnest plea for conservatism. He told the miners that they have given their officers their support during the twelve-months' strike, and that this, in his opinion, is the secret of the success of the strike.

DAY OF JUDGEMENT

There may have been appointed, as we have been
taught from childhood day in which the world shall be
iudged in righteousness But that does not destroy the
fact that any day may be a day of Judgment.
Any day the strain of trial may be put to US Wheh
the clock of time strikes Carlyle the man and the
1hour appear. But sometimes the hour comes and the
man disappears. Sometimes the clock of time strikes
and the man is weak The day of judgment calls to the
strong.
When the boy Lincoln stood by his mothers grave
ragged hatless miserable-when his sweetheart died
when he was by Douglasc, he did not know ne
was on trial. he being chasened for greatness
But those days were the days of judgment.
We do not know when our day of trial will come II
would not be fair fellows if did For neither
do we know their strain Any day some great op
portunty may come to Any day some great sorro"
may crush us Any day great temptation may be-
set us When the opportunity comes, snail we DC
strong enough to When the great comes
will the bent bow be strained the point of breaking
When the great temptation comes, will the metal G
manhood meet the stress?
Do not worry about day of judgment-some
day for which all other days made-when before
the assize of Last Resort you shall go trembling ano
unwilling culprit. you shall have bravey met your
DAYS in judgment here nothing harm you There AS

AN ARC LIGHT NEEDED
mo- The EHenlng Citizen.

To The Evening Citizen.
There has occurred several acci-
dents recently for want of proper
light at the point where old town and
new town meets. Last night about Z
O'Clock a fine carriage and horse were
seriously damaged, the horse. a fine
one, running against a post, which
caused the wreck. Fortunately the oc'
cupants Of the vehicle were not seri'
ously injured.
The neighbors heard the crash
when the accident occurred and nur'
ried with lights to render assistance,
which they did by patching up the har'
ness, which was ruined, However
the party was able to proceed by driv'
ing at a slow walk.
This happened in front of Huning
castle, which is the darkest spot in the
city, and there needs to be a light al
that point. as the street turns there
and leaves the western portion in to
| tai darkness.
And in less than one hour after
| the above misnap another team met a
like accident. This is in the city lin
it's and should be looked after by the
proper authorities.

IMELENG TME EDITOR

Good journalism high in Germany, according
TO Poultney Bigelow in the Argonaut Ordinary editors
are not expensive hire them for ordinary wages
But an editor who is willing to spend part of his time IN
jail for telling the truth higher-much hsner
annually. The editor who is brave enough to voice pup
lie opinion in Germany takes sporting chance-eNeh
with lawyers at mis- elbows. Bgeow tells about Ludwig
Thoma the famous editor of "Simplcimus, the newspa'
per whose sale is prohibited by the police
What are you doing? Quoth
Going to jail answers he with serenity.
What for? quoth l.
"Tese Majestic was his all-ncudng answer
Simpicimus has been yoicing German public sentl-
en which protests against the emperors policy OF close
union with Russia. The people of Germany hate the
czars government it is the enemy of personal
liberty They do not like Williams tokens of kindness
and alignment with the And so the editor of Sim
pcimus voices the protest and goes to jail for
it.
William doubtless appreciates Napeoeon's saying
that -Four hostile newspapers to be feared
than ten thousand bayontes."
But can he stfe the public voice by sending editors
TO ail? In this country the editor print anything
that is not beous The only lese majestic here is the
tetrayel of the peoples interest And then it is not
punishable by public opinion. Special interests
may bribe of the newspapers but truth
telling IS at a premium in this country of free press
About the only punishment nfic upon EDITORS
here is occasionally to send them to congress.
