THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MAYOR
DUNE.

There is a deep sense of diSappoint-
ment throughout the country with
| Mayor Dunno. of Chicago. profess
sional friend of humanity. he has suf-
fered an awful condition of things to
exist in the Chicago .;iaughter-houses
without a word of protest. He did alb
solutely nothing, neither in word nor
deed. until the exposure by the 1nves-
tigating Committee compelled him 10
break his silence. Reconciiement of
this with Mayor DUNES position and
professions is absolutely impossible. If
Mayor Dunno is not far more the
man in the city of Chicago, if he has
not their health, interests, social condi-
ton, and all that pertains to them
more deeply at heart than anybody else,
then he is but sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal. Upon such profess
sionS. loud and persistent. he attracted
notice to himself and secured major
ity of the voters of Chicago. He has
had much to say of various theOretic
and socialistic reforms which are 60
ing to bring great blessings to the poor
man, but he has never said word
about actualitieS the most degrading
and destructive. which were so appar-
ent that he had to try to avoid seeing
them. Think of a man airing on every
possible occasion his views in favor of
municipal ownership, single tax, income
tax, rights of labor against capital, and
similar more or less fiatuIent abstrac-
tons, when in a large section of his
city the working men and women were
surrounded by conditions pernicious to
the last degree, alike to their health,
their morals, and their social develop
ment. Any time that the Mayor took
ride on the cars to the southeastern
part of the city. he had to pass through
section where thousands of human
beings were wallowing in moral, physi-
cal and social filth. There was no
theory about this, 1t was a condition, and
it was condition which was readily
remediable by direct practical means
Not the slightest need was there for
any new doctrine, fine-spun theory. or
socialistic evangelism of any kind.
What was needed, and imperatively
needed. was the application of common,
ordinary, straight American principles
of law, hygiene. and good Government,
such as obtain in every American town.
The plague spot existed in defiance of
plain, ordinary laws, which it was
Mayor DUNES sworn duty to apply. It
was as much his duty to Immediately
break up the conditions in Packingtown
as it is the duty of every Mayor of a lit
tie town to abate any nuisance in that
place. That he not only neglected to
do this, but made absolutely no effort
to do it, convicts him OF as gross incom-
petence, as Grass negligence and unfit
ness for his position, as can be found
anywhere in the history of American
municipal administration.

The labor leaders make great mis-
take in not appealing directly to the
public when there is a disagreement be-
tween them and employers. The Amer
lean people are eminently just and fair
minded, and their prepossessions are al
ways in favor of the workingmen. If
the leaders would make a fair state
ment of their grievances they would
have the powerful assistance of public
opinion. Unfortunately these leaders
decide upon strikes in secret conclaye,
and bring about collisions without any
reference to public views upon the sub
ject. The strike in Chicago is an Illus
tration of the other way of proceeding,
and 1t Immediately enlisted public SYM
pathy and support. The strike is a
walkout of 800 Gamblers. Immense
quantities of eggs come to Chicago, and
before they can be placed i'm storage
they have to be "candled' by experts:
that is, each egg is held up before a
candle and an expert can Immediately
tell whether it is fresh or not The work
is done mostly in dark Easements. and
the Gamblers assert that 10 hours work
on the stretch is harmful to their eve
sight and general health. and they are
at their present wages of So day. It
will seem to everybody that their re-
quest Is entirely reasonable.

NEW RH|l-ROAD "A SURE THING
WORK IS TO BE STARTED WITHIN
THE NEXT THIRTY DAYS

The following lnraf,s.i.g rai.rna..

une:

Railroad proposition with the men who
are going to build the line, E. p. Price,
vice president; f. Z. Springer, sec
retary; Z. r. Place, who represents the
other capitalists, and w. f. Foran, one
of the original promoters, were pres
ent. Mr.. Price made a very interest
ing address, in which he said that the
Butte, Caldwell and San Francisco line
was now an assured thing. He said
that his line would build to Caldwell
provided the citizens secured them n
right of way. They will have engineers
at Caldwell within two weeks, when
the exact route would be decided upon
and the right of way secured. At the
point on the Short Line, where the two
lines cross will be the point from
which they will start to build. Mr..
Price and his associates leave for Chi
cago, where all the little details will
be finished up. A motion was made
by r. A. Cowden that ii was the sense
of the meeting that the business men
of Caldwell would do everything in
their power to meet the demands of
the railroad men. 1t was explicitly
stated that actual work would be
started on the line within thirty days,
and that the line would be completed
TO Winnemueea, Nevada, within six
months. At this time it is hardly
thought possible that the main line
will strike Boise, as to do SO would
change the entire course of the road
for over 800 miles AS Caldwell will
be the seat of operation, Mr. Springer,
the secretary, win likely move TO this
place to make his home.

er, Price and Meyer arrived from the
east, in company with f. R. Place of
Minneapolis. The party took carriages
and made a drive over the route be-
tween here and Winnemucca, Mr. Grant
sending his confidential man over the
line of survey to examine and mike a
report on the proposition. They re-
turned to Boise Sunday evening. and
the following days were occupied in ar
ranging the details of the transfer of
the interests of the promoters, which
was finally completed, the original di-
rectors of the companyresigning and
being succeeded by the gentlemen
named.
v. T. Price is banker of Elkader.
Iowa, and member of the law firm
of R. E. and v. T. Price. Mr.. Price
said:
The question of securing track
steel and construction material is one
of considerable moment, and it NAV
be difficult to procure this for early
delivery"
Yet he is in such close touch with
the railroad world that if it is possible
to find the material he will do so. His
firm is able to bring in the necessary
equipment for building the line at the
rate of mile day of completed
road, and that is the scale ON which
he does business, and his plan for
constructing the San Francisco Idaho
road
"The line from here to Winnemucca
is approximately 230 miles in length, =
said Mr.. Price, ga careful examination
of which shows that less than ter
miles of the distance is difficult or
heavy work, the balance being light

first constructed, connections being
made with the Western Pacific and

widow of Pierre Curie, who was Al;cI
lately in street accident, has .cn
aOpointd to succeed her husband rs
lecturer on physical science at ths
Sr.h. rne. This is the first time that

which he not only approves, but had
himself originally proposed. Madame
Curie enjoys the universal esteem of
the scientific world.
The discovery of radium was due
jointly to her husband and herself,
but the first researches which led up to
it were made by her, when, with M.
Bacquerel, she was investigating the
properties of uranium. Her thesis
when she took the degree of doctor
of science was on radio-activity. She
married Pierre Curie shortly after
wards and both continued their re-
searches in the same field.

81 realize that the people of Boise
are most interested in knowing wheth
er the road is coming to this city with
it main line. This is entirely matter
of egineering, and can only be deter
mined by the surveys Three prelim-
mary lines have been run to Salmon
City, on of which goes through Boise,
the others taking route which goes
north of the city. These lines will be
run by the engineers, and the cost of
the different routes tscertained, at
which time we can reach a determine
ton. The original promoters of the
road are extremely anxious for the
main line to be built through Boise,
being loyal to their home city. To this
end they have had some correspond
ence with your Mr.. Booth, president
of the chamber of commerce, in which
the latter indicated what inducements
would be offered. We have gone over
this correspondence, but until we can
advise ourselves as to the construction
features involved it will be impossible
to make any predictions as to the ex
act route to lie determined uson.
We have quite exhaustive reports
sto the tonnage which will come to
the road from the north in the lumber
and mining industries that will be de-
veloped, but( you understand, the ques-
tion of whether this can be hauled for
less money viaa the Boise route ~
some other is to a great extent the
controlling factor. We want the friend
ship and support of the enterprising
citizens of Boise, but in the building
of a railroad the business view must
be considered rather than the senti-
mental side of the question. However,
this is a matter in which we will ad-
wise with the citizens fully and frankly,
in the hope of reaching satisfactory
conclusion at the proper time. =
