I'm a former issue we gave
expression from a full heart
to certain editorial Difficult
ties, forgetting in our con
centration that troubles
were not peculiar to us OF
all people. But it seems that
we cannot claim u monopoly
even in this most desirable
of field.
For yesterday, returning
from q cruise about the
streets, we butted into a
most interesting conditions
of uncertainty. 1t seems
there had been u discussion
among the compositors in
regard to the word"epizoOt-
ic", in yesterdays editorial,
the same being unfamiliar to
them. One of the force took
the view that the epizootic
was an organ of the human
body, and confessed to hav-
inc n violent ache therein.
We don't know whether it
was inferred to be the heart,
the seat OF the divine afflatus
or whether, remembering the
word epigastrium we used in
describing the come-down OF
the laundry-cart, an ache,
was meant much less roman
tic. The proposition was
made to change the word
into something less question:
abl than several OF the force
suspected it might be, but il
the editors absence they
boldly took heart of grace
and let the word alone.
We wish not to be trouble
some to anyone, especially to
our employees for whom we
have n very friendly feeling
which we trust they have for
us. Therefore, it is n matter
of congratulation TO our
self in a quiet way that We
refrained from the use OF
halietus lencocephalus in the
write-up We gave the Eagles
unveiling.

PEA CEABLE SETTLEMENT.

Ii WAS with great pleasure that the
White Pine News announced, few
days ago, the settlement of the troub-
le between the western railroads and
the trainmen. 1t WAS the sensible
solution of the problem.
4 clash and trial of strength are
only justified in extreme cases.
A struggle between two powerful
organizations, the railroads and the
unions, would mean a heavy financial
loss TO both sides and much suffering
in the families OF the striking em-
ployes and in the families of other
persons who would be affected.
Men who have positions in society
and families TO support are not con-
tinually on their muscle. II is not
fea that makes them avoid trouble
Whenever possible. but thc dignity of
The responsibilities OF their man
hood In great issues such men are
ihe real fighters. the real heroes.
The irresponsible loafer who is al
ass an his muscle and always look
ing for a cheap reputation OF bellig-
arencs, is usually a man without any
family or a man who has shirked his
duties as a husband or father Such
men have little 10 lose. In a case of
trouble they DRIFT away from The
community, in box cars or on foot,
and leave the men with families TO
face The grim situation and to suffer.
Very often the element that halls
trouble with "a brave and reckless
aountenance" is The clement that is
prepared "a moments notice to
turn 10 the delights oG the wayside
campfire and the muIigan, a la hobo.
II IS the other element that gives
strength aud dignity to The unions,

EiYtS COPPER WILL MAKE

w. j. Palmer, presiden; or the
Ely City Townsite company. returned
Saturday night from New York,
where he had been for some time.
After a trip of inspection to the new
town8ile he expressed himself as
highly pleased and well satisfied with
the progress that had been made
there during his absence. He said
that while the company has large
plans in consummation for the i'm
provement of that section of Ely,
these plans would not he made public
until the work is about to be com
mcnccd.
In speaking of the recent slump in
the Wall-steet market. which affect
ed irtually the whole country, he
said that the slump was only tempo
rary, and could have no permanent
effect on Ely, as the slump had not
robbed the hills Of Il pounGi o. cop
per orc. and it is upon copper that
Ely bases its present and future
prosperity. The slump, he was told
while in New York, was caused in
IN effort To brighten President
