Party Politics.

"A curious lawsuit has been concluded in Bourbon county, Kentucky, and the plaintiff has been awarded $10,0O0 in dam ages because the republican county com mittee read him out of the party said a Washington man.

 Strictly speaking, there can be no such thing as reading a man out of the party. Any voting citizen Is always free fo cast his ballot for the candidates of any party. It is his right, also, to be- lieve in the policies of either of the various parties and to search for any party's alleged principles. There are. however, party organs that undertake to determine whether or not conspicuous members of their party are orthodox in faith. Now and then a bumptious com mtteeman essays this role. It will per haps be recalled that stand pat daily in New York read out President Mckinley and Secretary Root, appendlng to each of them the tag, Free Trader because they strova to secure fair treatment for the Porto Ricans. For long time after the demand for tariff revision began to be heard on the republican side of the fence every prominent republican was thus tagged, and the ridiculous practice still obtains to a limited extent"

Good Intentions Cause Trouble.

Sometimes mans good intentions can cause trouble," said a citizen. Tues day I saw a passenger on a street car bound for the baseball park nearly cause a serious accident. As 1t was. a crowded car ran in to an open switch at Six teenth street and struck another car, shaking up a number of passengers on the former car. although not enough to prevent any of them from catching the next car and going to the ball game.
 "The passenger made the mistake in an effort to assist the motorman, who had started into the open switch. The pas senger grasped the motorman's hand and tried to shut of the current, but instead of doing so he threw the controller the wrong way and opened the current wide, lusing the-car to strike the other car tn considerable force.
 The motorman claims that if the pas
 ger had not interferred there would
 have been a collision. The, accident

Science Studies Your Baby.


Science takes large and compre-
hensive interest in modern babies and
baby statistics, says the September
Delineator.
The average weight of boy babies at
birth is seven pounds; girls about six
and a half pounds. During the first
three days the child loses weight; aft
er it is week old it steadily in
creases.
A child should increase in weight
two pounds for every addition of an
inch in height between three and four
feet, and two and one-half pounds for
every inch between four and I'VE feet
The healthy baby triples its weight
at birth in one year, doubles this in
six years, quadruples this weight in
10 years, and at 81 man weighs q
times his weight at birth.

FOR ARBITRATION ALWAYS.
Labor Abhors Strike and Seeks Al
ways to Avoid One.

Labor stands for arbitration, first.
last and all the time. Labor is will
ing to meet its employers, and strikes
are caused in nearly every instance
by the employers refusal to treat with
men in a collective capacity.
This is back of every open shop"
fight that was ever waged. 1t caused
the Machinists' strike, excepting the
Pope incident 1t caused the Iron
Moulders', the Printers, the Timers,
and all others, and was back of the
Bakers troubles, whose employers
took Boectker's advice and abrogated
a contract.

ficials of a union may, without war
rant or authority, bind the member
ship to maintain specified conditions
for two, twenty or two hundred years.
1t means that weak officials may be
bribed to betray their fellows, just
like that trained steer in the Chicago
stockyards leads its unsuspecting com
rades into the slaughter pen.
The officials of the Freshmen and
Assistants union had no legal right
to bind the entire union. The matter
should have been left to the member
ship. The pressmen should have the
assistance of every union that is OPP
posed to system that may lead to
industrial slavery.
Already the officials of the Press
men and Assistants Union have been
cited for contempt, it being claimed
that they have violated the in
junction. The membership voted to
enforce the eight hour day on Ndvem-
Der IS. and President Berry merely
notified the membership of the re-
suit of the vote on that question. OF
course Berry is likely to go to Jail
for exercising his legal right to use
the United States mails for legal pur-
poses, but Berry in a cell will cut
much better figure than Thompson
on the federal bench.

Better Than steel safe.

Iron safes being difficult to obtain
and his subjects being in many cases
adroit thieves, the king of Anam some
time ago resorted to the ingenious
method of safeguarding his treasures.
In the interior Of his palace the king
caused large tank to be constructed,
which he kept constantly filled with
water. Several teak logs were bored
out, and in the holes he packed his
Jewels and treasures. The holes were
then closed and the logs put into the
tank. A number of large crocodiles
were placed in the tank and kept on
short rations, SO that any thief who
attempted to get at the treasures
would be . tempting meal.

PuIlman's dictum: I'VE have nothing

Stop feeding us these sops about the
benefits of arbitration, when cor
porations refuse to arbitrate.
What's the use of indulging in these
nothings when the advocate of this
theory confine their utterances to
strikes and boycotts?
Let's talk plain.
When did a labor union ever refuse
to arbitrate?
Do corporations refuse to arbitrate :?
Who's the blame for strikes and
boycotts, those wealth destroying
weapons that the workers are too
often forced to seize?
A strike or boycott is the cause

take strong ground against any one

fuses to treat with one another.

can be avoided when labor is not met

right to organize-Labor has estab-
