II Wicked Newspaper.


NEW YoRK's alleged society paper, zo7Om Topics,
is making stubborn fight to maintain it's prestige
as "frst- Glass; paper. OF late this periodical has
been accused of blackmail; and it appears that
the charge was amply substantiated. Any news
paper that hires agents to collect backdoor gossip,
is not fit publication for circulation If this has
been done and the facts to warrant the belief
that it has, the men engaged in such practice are
deserving of severe condemnation.
~-F This newspaper has been engaged in levying
backmail for some time past. No one willing
to expose it, and thus accept disgrace and social
ostracism. mans reputation and social position
are of more value than few hundred dollars. Hence,
this paper playing sure thing. Its victims
we're selected in business-ike way, and the paper
seldom committed an error in judgment.
Indirectly, zoam Topics has kept hundreds of
New York's Beau Brummels from playing the game
to the limit. Many people knew that if they we're
caught committing indiscretions by the argus-eyed
representatives of this saffron hued publication they
would have to pay dearly for their transgressions.
But this feature should not reflect any credit
the paper. In FACT when it's silence is purchased
with gold it compromises with crime and thus toler
ates the breaking of the law. If it's editors are
guilty of such fragrant oenses they should be exled
and their paper suppressed.

Prospective Strikes.

Prospective StT1ceS.
The contemplated strike Of the printers through
out the northwest is the forerunner of strike of far
greater magnitude that is scheduled to take place in
the near future This is the United Mine Workers
of America At the head of this thoroughly organ
lied association is President Mitchell, who is con-
sidered peerless leader among laboring men. He
is born leader-a suave sagacious, and tireless
worker The men whom he represents and the Ameri-
can people in general, have implicit confidence in
his integrity and in his judgment.
If the differences between the miners and mine
owners eliminate into open rupture, the strike
will assume a magnitude heretofore undreamed Of
Today the miners not only better organized, but
reinforced by the experience gained during their
previous struggle The mistakes committed at that
time are not likely to be repeated, is it likely
that Mr. Mitchell will resort to lockout unless the
exigencies absolutely demand it.
Strikes are becoming too expensive to resort to
in careless manner. They not only impoverish the
union and infict dire necessity upon it's members
but they also cause the loss of millions of dollars to
employers. It would seem that other means could
be found to readjust these difficulties. The miners
might purchase newspaper and publish therein the
conditions as they actually Even Mr.. Rookie
Teller has become better natured under the benign

.DOinS THINGS Better.

D0i7aS Things Better.
OPPORTUNITIES for improvement never lack
ing, no matter how humble mans life may be. A
man is never so wise but what he can learn to do
something or other trife better than he has been
doing it heretofore Idle moments can be turned in
to fruitful workshop. These idle moments, when
utilized proftably, have often been the means Of
enabling many to successfully handle golden oppor-
tunities later on in their career
There is always someone who is watching the
man that do things better than others In order
to get our just reward in competition with others
and to realize the expectations of those who have
solicited help, cannot afford to miss opportun-
tiles that may have tendency toward selfimprove-
ment. By terminating desire to do things a
little better than BEFORE giving the best evil
dence of our sincerity to advance out of ignorance
and not to remain an inanimate machine. In order
to DO things better should not overlook the many
advantages to be gained from idle moments. By
themselves they insignificant, but in the course
of ten twenty years they amount to astonishing

He Laid Lou.

THERE is man out in Wala Waa, Wash, who
had been sentenced to be hung, but gave notice
of an appeal. He then was transferred to another
JAIL and has been there nearly three years, having
failed to plead his case before thehigher court This
is case where silence was golden It is expected,
however, that the appeal now will be dismissed and
the law allowed to take its proper course
It hardly sounds reasonable that the authori-
ties could have forgotten this man. The jailor, in
whose custody he was placed knew the facts in the

would he sufficiently interested in such case as to
keep posted on it. This no trivial affair, but
one in which human life was at stake. Il this
story is authentic it demonstrates that the authori
ties were very lax in the performance of their duties
It is very likely that the grand jury will investigate
the matter and severely reprimand those responsible
for the oversight.

Absolutely Trustworthy.
UNIQUE case is recorded in Nashville, Tenn,
of man who was convicted and sentenced to serve
one year in the pententary Instead if being hand
cuffed and accompanied by sheriff, the went
to prison unattended and carried his own commit
ment papers. This is very unusual few such
recorded but it does not happen very often
where such implicit confidence is placed in a man.
The authorities knew the man and his past record
and when he asked to go alone they promptly
acceded to his wishes.

the ascendancy and that there are whose word
