for when sicksdysslsi,1npanies' doctors,
and buried by TIE companies un-
dertakers-all at great expense to
the workingmen. Money was almost
unknown, aS,aa payday would be
once in three months;~ and if much
was due the man, plans were at
once adopted by the employer to
reduce his wages, or dismiss the
man who desired to, save. He was
compelled to work from twelve to
sixteen hours day and received
the lowest possible wages. Women
and small children were compelled
to labor in order to make living,
and they were found in mills, fac
tories, and mines by the thousands.
If the workingmaii went out on a
strike for any cause, he was with
his family turned: out of the COM
panies' houses, the store closed, and
with no money or credit, he must
go back to work or. .starve. If he
left the place he would find him.
self upon the black list and could
not secure employment elsewhere
The labor union has changed this
worse than slave intota selfrespected,
Independent workingman. 1t has
compelled Legislatures to forbid
women and children working at
many of these vocations, has regulat-
ed the hours and compelled better
sanitary conditions. He gets his
pay each week Or every two weeks
in the money Of the realm instead
of the scrip of the companies. He
lives where he likes and buys where
he likes. His hours have been re-
duced to ten, often nine, and now in
many trades to eight. His wages
have been doubled and in every way
his condition improved. Besides,
strikes and lockouts have been re-
duced, and the majority of cases of
dispute settled by arbitration.
1t is no wonder the labor union is
very dear to the heart of the work
ingman. Of course, it costs him
considerable time and money to
maintain this organization. 1t not
only helps him In his strike against
his employer, but brings him into a
close fellowship with his brother
workman, who helps him in sickness
or death, and when out of employ
ment helps him to secure another
job. He knows we'll that unless he
can induce his fellow -workmen to
join with him and share in the
burdens Of the union, that there
are plenty of workingmen who will
enjoy these benefits that the union
has brought without being willing
to pay one cent toward sustaining
the very institution that has brought
this blessing, for remember, the em-
ployer pays the. same wages to nom

ONE CHURCH PAPER IS
OUT WITH ONION LABEL
Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate Has Work Done in
Non-union Print Shop.
At the Same Time it Runs Ar
ticles From Methodist Min
listers on Union Shop.

Chicago, III Nov. 2.-All church
going Chicago is this week wonder
ing why the Northwestern Christian
Advocate, published by the Methodist
Book Concern, is being printed in
non-union print shop, while it's col
umns TEEN with good on the
union shop; sometimes enormously
called the closed shop.
For Inconsistency church papers
very often take the cake, just as
lot of preachers do. The Advocate
is a champion in that line. AS
rebuke to it's printers it prints in
the current issue the following able
article from the pen of Rev. David
Morgan, Superintendent of the st.
Paul Bethel on the open shop:
The contest going on now be-
tween the typographical union and
the typothetae is not alone for the
reduction of hours to eight, but q
contest upon the open shop.
The employers contend that they
have the right to employ whom they
please without any interference from
the union. This on the surface looks
like a reasonable demand, and most
people at first thought will decide in
favor of the employer. But the Ia
Dor union contends that it's very ex-
istence depends upon closed shop.
Why do we have labor unions?
What necessity brought them into
existence? While labor unions in
some form or other have existed for
centuries, yet the modern labor
union is only about hundred years
old, and was brought about by the
employers. If we go back few
years, before labor unions were form
ed, and look for moment upon the
conditions of the laboring man and
compare them with the treatment the
now receives, we will at once be
convinced that labor Unions are
great blessing to the workingmen.
He was in many respects worse than
a slave, for slaves are as a rule we'll
fed and housed, and not overwork-
ed, as their lives are worth some
thing to their masters. But not so
with the workingmen. They were
compelled to live IN: the companies

miserable hovels) which ehey.

Senatora Bailey, of Texas, has sub
mitted to the senate proposed
amendment to thee constitution fixing
Germs for the president at six years
and making him ineligible for re-
election. This proposition has been
before the national congress and the
people many times but there seems
to be a reluctance in altering con
stitutional provision hoary with age
and deeply reverenced out of cOnsld
Grafton for those who originally fixed
the terms of president and vlce-presi
dent AS usual thing Democrats are
worshippersIof the constitution and are
less apt to suggest changes in thai
| august instrument than Republicans
are. However, there are eminent
statesmen in both parties who believe
that the change suggested by Mr.. Bal
| ley would be wise one. Two Oh
jects OF great Importance would be
gained thereby, one Is that presiden
lial electors would be less frequen
while the president could act will
more freedom and independence IL
the discharge of his duties, KNOWN,
that he would be ineligible for sec
ond term. The country is increasing
so rapidly in population that a pres
idential election every few years en-
tails a great cost and disturbs the in
dustrial conditions of the countr,
more or less. However, it is NOR
than likely Mr.. Baileys proposed
amendment will be summarily pigeon
holed, as has been the case with lik
offerings before.

GENTLY punched or near enough to the
creamery to keep it supplied with
cream? Will they get the cows and
milk them and furnish the butter fat ?
Would it pay to do SO at the present
price of feed? From what distance
could they afford to travel in order to
reach the creamery? Some say five
miles would be the limit, as a greater
distance would consume too much
time and require additional help on
the ranch, rendering the business un-
profitable. These and many other
matters should be thoroughly discuss
ed before spring opens, so that it will
be known definitely what can be done.
To prove a complete success the
creamery should have the milk from
300 cows. 1t may have to start with
less as is the case at Townsend and
move along slowly until it's benefits
and advantages are fully demonstrate
ed. A good-sized monthly check will
soon encourage all to take a hand i'll
the new enterprise until it's success
is assured.
1t will soon be up to our ranchmen
to determine how quickly this can be
done.
Such an enterprise should not only
be profitable from the standpoint of
butter making, but it ought to result
in the breeding of better dairy stock
in this county,.

DAN DEWEY BUYING WOOL.
Boston Dealer Picked Up a Millior
Pounds of Wyoming.

,ynlle nothing is heard concerning
advance sales of wool in this immedi
ate vicinity, it is very apparent that
in other localities good deal of quiet
contracting is being done and when
the regular buying season opens it will
probably be found that the major pOr'
ton of the clip has already been dis
posed of. Particularly does this ap-
ply to northern Wyoming.
During the last few days it has
leaked out that the visit here last
week of Dan Dewey, representing
Brown & Adams. of Boston, was not,
as he claimed, merely incidental to
trip to the coast. Instead OF pro-
ceeding further west, he remained in
the city until Tuesday morning, when
he returned east. says the Billings Ga
zette. Before coming here he was in
inc tier OF Wyoming counties adjoin-
ing Montana and closed contracts for
a large amount of wool. It is said
that he bought close to million
pounds and that in some cases at
least he paid what would ordinarily
be considered as fancy prices. He
tried to keep the cause of his presence
secret and succeeded to certain ex-
tent, but the facts gradually came out.
Great secrecy is exercised by those
who are buying In advance of the
opening of the regular market, fear
ng that if they permit their opera
tons to become generally known the
growers will take advantage of the
situation to obtain better prices than
they would probably demand were
they ignorant of the real condition.
Not only do they fear that contract
ing at going rates will then be no
longer possible, but also That when
the buying season comes around the
nockmaster will practically be mas
ter of the field and dictate the prices.
instead Of being willing 10 accept
wha, may be offered him.
Many of those who are Keeping in
touch with the market east ana who
study existing conditions refuse to sell
at this time, confident that the top
has not yet been reached ana .hat
next summer wool will sell at hgures
that will astonish those who thought
that past years had witnessed some ,rh
decidedly altitudinous rates. iney

Gov. Toole recommends that the
legislature adopt another joint reso-
luton or memorial urging congress to
amend the constitution SO as to pro-
vide for the election of United States
senators by the direct vote of the
people. 1t may be a good many years
before congress, especially the upper
house, will give willing ear to the
proposition. However, it will make
but little difference if every state has
a properly constructed primary cleo
lion law, one providing that at the
primary election the voters of each
party shall declare their choice for
United States senator. The legisla-
ture would then simply have to ratify
the choice of the people, and there
would be little danger of their ignor'
ing the clearly expressed wish of the
voters of each party. ANY bill with
out the provision should not receive
consideration by the present legisla
| lure,

THE CREAMERY PROJECT.

AS meeting of the LewiStOwn
Creamery association has been called
tor January 21st it is important that
.nere should be full attendance of
the stockholders in order that def
mite plans for the future may be dis
cussed and some line of action agreed
upon, as there is great deal to be
done in order to assure tie success
of this enterprise. There are some
perplexing problems to be met with
lnat will not be revealed until Tn
creamery is in operation.
Upon a recent visit to Helena the
writer had the pleasure of meeting
several gentlemen who were instru
mental in securing the establishment
of the creamery at Townsend. They
were all we'll pleased with the en,eI
prise, the only difficulty encountere
was in making enough butter to SUP
ply the demand. At present t..
creamery is turning out about l.
pounds day, while there is a requea
for fully 1000 pounds.
The season of the year and tn,
high price of hay and grain may have
much to do with the small output a
| present. The promoters, on tn,
| whole, are much encouraged, however
as there are assurances of greater i'll
terest in the creamery as spring ap
proaches.
But now having the plant establish
ed and under the management of
thoroughly competent butter maker
the gentlemen say the success of tn
enterprise rests entirety with tn
farmers. If they will furnish tn
cream or butter fat the creamery wi
do the rest, there being no difficult
in finding a market, the demand fro.
Helena alone being sufficient to kce
two creameries in operation.

hended in making a clcamery SUI

Soon after taking his seat in the
national house of congress, j. Adam
Bede, of Minnesota, made humorous
speech in which he invited the Dem
ocrats to join the Republican party
and make the election of 1904 I'M
tnlnous. Owing 10 the landslide to-
ward Roosevelt he is now invited to
make another speech thanking til ;
Democrats for their taking up of his
suggestion and extending the greet
ings of the Republicans to them. The
requests came largely from Demo
cratic members who appreciate good
thing even if it goes little against
the grain.

Colorado has $10,00O,O00 invested in
beet sugar plants, and during the past
season about 100000 was paid out to
the factory labor alone. Among The
farmers $2,S00,000 was distributed and
the value of the sugar crop in the
state was nearly 100000. This is
remarkable showing for a compare
lively new industry and one that
should arouse interest in Montana.
The present year should mark some
developments in sugar beet culture.
