Only few days after the receipt Of
this last letter my friend returned TO
New York. It'was about half past 10
IN the evening when he fairly burst
into our rooms. Ills abruptness. how
ever, was easily explained BY bis ex.
uberance Of enthusiasm. He was al

ANOTHER EXAMPLE
OF UNIoNISM

Following the big fire and earth
Quake San Francisco became the mecca
of all kinds of laborers both of the
skilled and unsllilled classes. The city
was flooded with mechanics and yet it
soon became apparent that building
operations were not pushed as they
should be.
When the residents of the city began
to notice this they also began to in
quire the cause and had no trouble
whatever in tracing the difficulty to
the outrageous exactions of the labor
unions especially those connected with
building operations of all kinds.
Contractors realizing the uncertainty
of the labor market have refused to
make anything but conditional con
tracts and in spite of the fact that
there are hundreds of carpenters, plum
bers, lathers, plasterers and masons
walking the streets of San Francisco
out of work there are scores of class
A buildings in the heart of the city
uncompleted and not a tap of work be
ing done on them.
The result is that when the eSactions
of union labor became unbearable own
ers and contractors ordered the work
stopped rather than be robbed by those
who thought they saw an opportunity to
do so. All this with the result that
union laborers who demanded and un
til recently received fabulous wages
have been driven out in the country tc
pick hops, irrigate the land, dry fruit
and otherwise compete with Chinese
and japanese labor.
1t looks to an outsider as though the
unions, taking advantage of the neces
sity brought about by the great calam
ity have overstepped the limit of rea
son and killed he goose which laid th'
golden egg.
So serious has the situation become
that "peacc conference has beer
arranged between the owners and thu
ment cannot be brought about whereof,

PHOEBE CoUZENs ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

No less an authority than Miss
Phoebe Couzens has spoken in condem-
nation of woman suffrage. Miss Cou-
zens was for many years a leading ad-
vocate of woman suffrage and a prom
inent worker for what she as well as
her sister workers were pleased to style
"The emancipation of Woman,' and
now it smacks of sadness to see Miss
Couzens apologize for the stand she
once took and repudiate her former
teachings.
But the lady claims that she has ar
rived at her present conclusion only
after witnessing the practical work.
ings of woman suffrage for many years
to the shame of women and to the ut.
ter condemnation of the system.
Among other reasons for her change
of front Miss Couzens says she has
found that in some places at least
where the ballot is given women the
tendency is to make them less womanly
and less wifely. She says the effect
upon the home and upon society is not
of that elevating character which the
advocates of the movement had hon
estly hoped it would have been and
that it has not purified social and poll
teal conditions as the women claimed
it would do.
In other words, Miss Couzens says
woman suffrage has been fairly and
honestly tried and has proved dismal
failure because the many reforms
promised in its name have not ma
teriaized,
The Post has no fight on woman
suffrage. Many women-some women
at least-actually enjoy the voting
privilege and why shouldn't these dear
creatures be allowed to have their way
in this matter as they do in every.
other? It's jolly for them and per.
haps does little harm.
Nevertheless both men and women in
| Colorado by the thousands can bear
testimony to many of Miss Couzens
statements as as to results and the
purifying effect OF the ballot it is only

JUDGE LINDSEY who recently
registered a big knock on Colorado and
especially on some of the leaders of the
republican party including Governor
Buchtel and Senator Guggenheim is
now out with an explanation declaring
that he did not say some of the things
attributed to him in his former roast
and yet in this very explanation he
does not hesitate to roast Governor
Buchtel, his later haraugue being near
ly if not quite as severe and as sense
less as that for which he tries to

understands that the judges attack on
Governor Buchtel is nothing more or

THE HAYWOOD VERDICT

The jury at Boise has spoken and by
its verdict has said that there was not
enough evidence against William d.
Haywood to warrant his conviction on
a charge of numbering Governor
Steunenberg.
OF course no one ever accused Hay
wood of actually killing Steunenberg
but only of being an accomplice or an
accessory to the terrible deed. The law
of Idaho makes it necessary in the
ease of confessor that that there be
enough evidence to convict independent
of that of the confessor or accomplice
before a verdict of guilty can be given.
Under this peculiar law which by the
court was very strictly interpreted in
favor of the defendant it was almost
impossible to convict Haywood.
Every man on the jury might have
absolutely believed Haywood guilty of
the crime as charged, and doubtless
many of them did so believe but under
the instructions of the court they could
not convict him.
The return of the verdict does not
destroy or change the opinion of the
people as to Haywood s guilt although
it releases prison bars and sets Hay
wood free.
At the beginning Of the trial or
rather long before the trial bsgan the
socialistic element loudly elaimc.l that
Haywood was not to be given + far
trial but that it was part Of the
program that he should be "judically

IN THE PARDON recently granted
by Governor Vardaman to the Birdsong
woman, the governor holds that a wo-
man is justified in numbering her
paramour if he gets drunk and reveals
their relations and he bases this as
sumption on the theory of the unwrit-
ten law. 1t strikes the Post that this
matter of the unwritten law is being
just a little bit overworked of late.
If it can be made to do service in such
far fetched cases as that is Mississippi
why not repeal the written law and rely
entirely upon the unwritten law? 1t
would be lot cheaper than the pres
ent system. Then we might dispense
with the president and congress, judges,
.iuries, sheriffs and police, while each
person enacted his own law and en-
forced it with shotgun. What's the
use of wasting time on a foolish and
supertiuous thing like government while
there are so many Vardamans to set it
all aside.
