Plea for Temperate Living.

"At recent meeting of the American
Federation Of Labor I heard President
Gompers plead for more temperate living.
and he urged the unions to hold their
meetings in places away from rumshops.
Organized labor stands for better and
cleaner living among men. I believe In
where all the unions could have their
meetings, and in which not a drop of
liquor could be served. Wouldn't 1t be a
good thing to have such temple in
Washington?
"Organized labor is trying to Amer
icanize the immigrant. 1t looks after its
members who are sick.
I'VE have just had peace conference
at The Hague, which cost in the neigh
borhood Of So 900, COO Among other things.
that conference determined that commu-
nications between nations shall be in
more polite language. War will cease. but
our patience will be severely tried If we
must wait upon the action Of peace ex-
perts at The Hague. War will cease when
organized workers will say that they will
not go out to shoot down their fellow
their rulers-in other words, when the
workingmen will declare a great peace

What is the relation of Christ to this
movement? He lived at time when con-
ditions were worse than they are today.
Instead of starting an organized social
system, which He knew would not last
men. If the workingmen will follow
Christ and His principles to the end OF
the world, they will win because Christ
will win. So also the employers. Which
will be the one to accept the principles OF
Christ? Let us hope 1t will be BOTH

Not the Labor Problem.

Trade -unionism is not the labor prob
lem. but 1t is an important part OF 1t.
The labor union has come to stay; the
question Is whether 1t is to be bad or a
good unionism. 1 honor the men who are
trying to make it a cleaner and better
movement. We. as Christian men, should
wish them god-speed. The right I'd Or
ganize Is no longer debatable. AS capital
has the right to organize, so has labor.

union that head fails to recognize that he

ly of O. 7. Clough.

Many Salmon people will remember
O. T. Clough, who grew to manhood
in this county, and was formerly in
the drug business in this city with
Will Pyeatt. The following concern
ing this young man is taken from
the Martinez (Cal). Daily Gazette:
DR.. f. w. Rattan, The proprietor
of the Matinee Pharmacy, has Sc.
cured the services of an expert chem
ist and druggist to manage his drug
sture. The name of the druggist is
o. t. Clough, who just before COM
ing here with his wife and family,
was manager of the drug store at
Concord,
Mr.. Clough is man not only of
theoretical knowledge but of wide
experience. He practises under two
certificates received from two states,
California and Utah, and during his
career in both, he has filed impor-
tant and responsible positions. There
are few people in Martinez and the
county who have not directly or in
directly heard of DR.. A. T. Leonard,
of San Francisco, who, as physician
and surgeon has very extensive
practice and who is noted for his
care and accuracy in every detail.
Mn Clough for time was the man
ager of Dr. Leonard's dispensary,
and this speaks volumes for Mr..
Coughs knowledge and reliability.
The appointment OF Mr.. Clough to
the management Of the drug store
leaves DR.. Rattan free to devote him
self entirely to the practice OF his
profession which will be OF undoubt.

We wish Mr.. Clough every success
in his new position, which II know

can command it, he will surely have.
