TELEGRAPHER'S STRIKE


At this writing on Tuesday the tele-
graphers of many of the principal cities
and in some of the smaller cities are
striking. The strike bids fair to spread
rapidly and it is quite possible that all
operators will be involved in a short
time. One of the reasons of the rapid
spread is not on account of local condi-
tions, but because the operators refuse
to receive or send messages in connec-
tion with non. union man at the other
end of the wire. Thus the operators at
Minneapolis went out and some of the
vacant places were supplied by outside
men. Then union operator at Fargo
was given a message to send to Minnea-
polls which he refused to do, and all
the operators at Fargo walked out.
Again we face the conditions of things
by which a few persons with more or
less pightful grievances put the general
public to great inconvenience, lbss, and
aggravation, because. of their private
wrongs. Yet, long ago, the civilized
world declared by law, that two or
more, cannot fight out their difficulties
by force of arms or fists, because it dis
turbs the peace of the public. We can
not see why the same doctrin should not
hold good in these greater cases where
capital and labor disturb the peace and
often great deal more, while fighting
their battles.
If two men have grievances they must
60 to the legal tribunals for settlement.
Common sense says that such a settle
ment must be fairer and better than the
settlement made by might and strength.
The present strike of the telegraphers
will not be settled on its merits, the
only question solved will be which of
the two factions, employer OF employe,
is the strongest, which really ought not
to have anything to do with the matter,
for experience teaches that invariably
the stronger will take advantage Of his
strength. @
Meantime, mothers die without the
solace Of son and daughter at the death
bed; doctors who could save lives are
hot summoned; business men are per
|haps ruined because they lack the tele..
graphic warning, anxious relatives wait
ia vain for the word that never comes
from the sick or troubled ones; wheat
has sdfopped four cents because the
holders dare not hold without the news
from other markets and the grain field:
business is throttled in many directions,
The theory Of the strike is to compel
everybody to join their ranks BY making
everybody uncomfortable with the
strikers and thus create enmity to the
employers and sympathy with the
strikers.
We wonder how long the general pub.
lie are going TO- stand for strikes. 4
greater question than whether my cer
tain class of workers ale receiving iai,

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely we'll, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble
I'm July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

jerome on CoIored Evidence.

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, said one day of a piece of sus-
picious evidence:
1T is evidence that has been tam
pered with, colored. 1t is like the
lady's report of her physicians pre-
scription.
"A lady one day in July visited her
physician. The man examined her
and said:
Madam, you are only a little run
down. You need frequent baths and
plenty of fresh air, and l advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
clothes-nothing stiff or formal
when she got home her husband
asked her what the physician had said.
The lady replied:
He said | must go to the seashore,
do plenty of automobiling, and get
some new summer gowns"

"Bobbs," | said, raising from my
seat, 4 want to ask you one more
question before you go. Do you re-
member the first note that you sent
me? The one Chico brought when he
climbed up the ivy into my window
last summer"
"Yes. sir" said Bobbs, briefly.
well, how did you happen to say
what you did in that note?" | asked.
"Mr. Carney told me to say it, of
course, sir" replied Bobbs.
"Do you know why he did so?" l
continued.
"Yes, sir" said Bobbs. II was in
the house watching you the day you
came, sir, and when you picked up
that glove of Miss Carney's and kissed
it, sir, l told him of it. Then he said l
should write the note as did. sir, and
that you'd make a good husband for
her and he hoped you would marry
her, sir
"That will do, Bobbs," said. Good
night, my boy. hope you'll get some
Sleep"
l sat down once more by the dimly
burning lamp and, taking the glove
from my pocket, | kissed it gently
again and again. A slight sound
caused me to raise my eyes and saw
Florence Carney standing, with out
stretched hands, in the shadow of one
of the bookcases. sprang toward her
and, sobbing softly, she nestled in my
arms, with hers entwined about my
neck.
The only guest at my bachelor din
ner, on the eve of my marriage, was

coffee, he exclaimed:

HELPS THE ROADS.
Experience of the Specialist at Me-
braska Experiment Station.

The following from a recent issue
of the Nebraska Farmer gives their
experience with the road drag on the
roads near the Nebraska experiment
station:
"a good proof of road dragging with
split log drags was shown last winter
during the long spell of deep muddy
roads. The roads next to the farm
have been dragged for the last four
or five years, and comparing them
with others it makes a very great con-
trast. While some of the other roads
rough and rutty the dragged roads
have long become smooth and are as
hard as brick Even during very
muddy weather the depth of mud on
the dragged roads was slight COM
pared with that of the undragged
roads. When a person drives over a
road of this kind when muddy it is
like driving on pavement with but one
to two inches of mud while the un-
worked roads sink to depth of nine
inches in places and also very heavy
pulling, having no solid ground under
the mud A farmer who believes it
does not pay to drag roads is badly
mistaken In eastern Nebraska it is
just beginning to become a practice.
And the ones to introduce it there
were the students of the school of
agriculture"

NOT THE TIME TO STOP.
Manager Saw the Possibilities in tho
Situation.

Jim Johnstone, the famous base
ball umpire, said recently in New
York that baseball crowds were far
kinder to umpires than they used
to be.
This is true of theater crowds,
too said Mr.. Johnstone. why with
provincial touring companies in the
past, maltreatment was regularly ex-
pected. In fact, the COMPARES prof
tied by it in more ways than one.
Il know of a company that was
playing The Broken Vow in Paint
Rock, a one night stand The audi
ence didn't like The Broken Vow and
eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained
upon the stage.
Still the play went on. The hero
raved through his endless speeches,
lodging an onion or a baseball every
other minute, and pretty sore from
those missiles that he hadn't been
able to dodge.
But finally a gallery auditor in a
paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a
heavy boot, and the actor thoroughly
alarmed, started to retreat
Keep on playing, you fool hissed
the manager from the wings, as he
hooked in the boot with an umbrella.
Keep on till we get the other one"
