THE PITCHER

All other heroes must retire,
The PITCHER doth appear
And frenzied fans who see him come
Yield up a lusty cheer.
He's 70 the fore. way up in front,
And in the public eye.
A man OF great renown, forsooth,
Whose fame will never die.
His mighty arm is much admired,
His rare delivery
Doth nil the hearts Of all who watcl
with boundless ecstasy.
His record is an open book,
Each fan knows what he's done.
The batters struck out at the plate,
The hard fought games he's won.
The small boy worships him afsr,
His names on every tongue,
In all resorts around the town
You'll hear his praises sung.
Alas, how few Of us are called
BY mortal destiny
To stand above the crowd and wear
The crown Of victory

A peonliaritv of crImInaIa.

Policemen, in spite of their trouble
in solving what appear TO be more or
less simple problems, are fond Of as
serting that the ordinary criminal be-
trays an amazing lack or originality.
In support Of this they point out that
when criminal is arrested after do
ing one stretch" the second charge
against him is generally for the same
sort Of crime. They explain this by
saying that each failure OF each loss
shows the "crook" some point of which
he had been ignorant and It is easy
for him to convince himself that next
time he will avoid that mistake and
be successful. When he fails and is ar
rested the law shows him just where
he bungled. and the gamblers love Of
taking a chance urges him to try his
luck at the old game once more. Then
there Is also always to be considered
the unconscious and gritty" determi-
nation TO make a success Of the thing
anyhow.-New York Tribune.

A Helena Reverend

At the confirmation school of the
German Protestant church the theme
was "Idol Worship" The pastor ex.
planned that there was a coarse and a
fine idolatry. The heathens create ]
their own gods, he said, and believed
in them-that is coarse idol worship.
The union men also created their gods
their leaders; and what they bid,
the men had to do. The union men
have blown up Gov. steunenberg, al.
so mines and depots, being ordered to
do so and paid for IL by their leaders,
That is fine idol worship. When the
pastor had concluded, a little bright
boy arose and addressing the teacher
said: "ThaL is lie." The pastor
made no reply. The pastor was Rov.
Mertz of Helena.

COMMISSIONERS BLUFFING

The railroad commissioners have
been very busy lately making the
railroad company clear up the side
tracks and keep freight moving. In
a weeks time they succeeded in re-
ducing the number of cars lying in
the Livingston yards from fifteen hun
dred to one thousand and considered
this a great showing, and are credit.
ed with making a statement that the
Northern Pacific railroad has secured
large number of new locomotives
during the past year and is in splen-
did shape to keep the freight moving.
One thing the railroad commission
ers over looked and that is the boiler
makers strike. The railway company
can keep on adding locomotives to
it's equipment, but unless there are
competent boilermakers to care for
them no freight will be moving and
the travelling public must suffer as
well as the shipper.
In every round house along the line
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific can be found from eight to
twelve dead engines that must have
the services of some competent boiler
makers before they are ready for ser
vice.
Coal cannot he moved, freight can
not be moved, and the stock cannot
reach the eastern market without con.
siderable shrinkage owing to the time
consumed enrouto aud all this is owing
10 the fact that the railways will not
treat with the boilermakers.
The other day the midnight train
east which starts from Helena was de.
layod one and half hours in start.
ing, leaving Helena with two engines
pulling four coaches when ordinarily
one is necessary, the train was late
four hours in reaching Logan in dis
tauce of seventy-fve miles, the train
being stalled three times owing to the
boilers being unable to generate
enough steam to move themselves, not

what blunder they had made, and
no large corporation to-day tries to
get damages from labor unions for the
socialists in the House of Commons
forced a law through parliament ex.
cempting treasures from damage suits.
Should the Bell Telephone company be
awarded damages the unions of Mon
tsna can foot the bill, but just as sure
as the scab phone gets verdict in
its favor just as sure will the union
men turn towards the socialist par
ty and commence to put social
lists into office. The attack of cor
porations in this country upon the
union treasures, has not kept down
the militant spirit of the union
men. The unions that have suffered
most by damage suits are to-day better
organized and their treasures in bet
ter condition than at any previous
time. If the corporations will only sue
often enough and for large sums it
will not be long until socialists will
be carrying credentials from the var
ious states to the seat Of our national
government.
Keep up the fight seab phone, You
are doing fine educational work. The
workers of Montana will follow the
example of their brothers across tho
water and beat you by electing social
lists who will see to it that corporation
judges become useless tools and fran
ehises Of trusts and corporations ara

to mention the train. The train reach
ed Livingston at p. m, the passen-
gers being on the cars exactly nine
hours and had only travelled one hun
dred and twenty-three miles.
This is ralroading on the Northern
Pacific without the services of boiler
makers. The railroad commissioners
have ben making great bluffs Of what
they would do aud have given the pco-
pie considerable taffy about what they
have done. We would like to hear
from the commissioners why il is that.
passenger trains cannot be moved on
schedule time in this state. Seeing
that the locomotive boilers are leak
ing so bad, perhaps the commission
ers do not care TO interfere in the
boilermakers' strike, as they might be
gathering data for a paper to be read
at the next National Irrigation Con-
gress entitled "Irrigation Along the
Railroad Track"
The railroads are sending a large
number of strike breakers into the
west to fill the positions of the strik-
ing boilermakers. The seabs are from
the wharfs of the Atlantic sea ports
and present a horrible specimen of hu-
man degeneraey; none of them are
boilermakers, but only the scums Of
the slums of eastern cities picked up
to do the dirty work of the corpora
tions for few pennies and some
booze.

AMERICAN taft VALE CASE

The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company adopted another foreign and
un-Ameriean method of fighting organ.
lied labor. Not content with trying to
run the state and the government by
injunction plan, it now is trying to
use the English plan of breaking up
the unions by attacking their treas;
uries.
In the past corporations used the
Russian methods to break strikes by
securing the militia to do the dirty
work, but conditions are changed now,
the day Of the militia in strike break
ing is past, and 10 the courts the cor.
porations have turned to secure the
doing of the dirty work, via injunction
and union treasury robbery.
The Bell Telephone company which
is commonly known as the scab phone,
has commenced suit in the Federal
courts for $4,000 damages against the
Montana Federation of Labor, the
Helena Trades & Labor assembly and
all affiliated unions of both organiza-
tions, which practically means suit
against the majority of the unions of
the state exclusive of the Western
Federation of Miners.
This method of fighting organized
labor originated in the heads of En-.
glsh capitalists and was first put in
practice some years ago by the British
railroads, when the Taft Vale railroad
sued the railway mems union and re-
eeived damages to the amount Of
$250.OO0.
The railway men fought the case
through every court in the British
Isles until it reached the House of
Lords which is the highest court in
Britain and the noble lords, bishops,
some Of whom are inmates Of lunatic
asyluums, rendered decision in favor
of the corporation, thereby making a
new preeendent in English jurispru-
dence.
Anything that is good for English
corporations is not long in being
adopted by the American corporations,
especially if it is an effective weapon
in fighting labor.
After the Taft Vale decision the
corporations were not slow in adopt
ing the same methods and damage
suits were commenced by corporations
all over the country against labor
unions, mostly for small amounts, un-
til the present suit which is the largest
amount Of damages that a union in
this country has been sued for.
Should the Telephone company be
awarded damages, the case will be ap.
pealed and carried to the U. s. Su-
preme court If necessary.
The Taft Vale decision awoke the
British workers and they Immediately
began electing socialists to the House
of Commons and every election sees
more socialist members of parliament
in the Commons.
The English corporations realized

tion of the district attorney, Judge
Langan dismissed the cases against,
Vincent st. John and six other mem

Two men, Preston and Smith, are

PETTIBONE ON TRIAL AT BOISE

main and that he would 90 to the hos
pital daily for his meals and treat
ment.
This action was taken by Pettibone
ON his own responsibility as he is very
anxious to have his trial proceed as
soon as possible and as long as he is
an inmate of the hospital Judge Woods
will not proceed with the case.
The prosecution is up against the
expense bill of the trials and should
Pettibone's condition become such
during the trial that it would prevent
the trial from finishing, this would cost
the state considerable more money as
the jurors would have to be sent home
and in all likelihood the case would
never be called again.
On the other hand public opinion
everywhere in Boise is that the prose
cution does not want to give Pettibone
trial and are anxiously looking for
an opening to drop the case gracefully.
Everywhere all over the state Of
Idaho, no matter where one goes and
at all hours of the day, groups Of men
can be seen discussing the trials and
bitter complaining of the costs to
the state. The sentiment seems to be
that the state has no grounds to fur
ther carry on the prosecution and that
Gooding is only making a grand stanl
play to recover his laurels lost in the
Haywood trial.
At the present writing Pettibone is
taking exercises on the court lawn.
pitching quoits. Mrs. Pettibone is
with him all the time and doing her
best to encourage and nurse him back
to health again. She spends the days
with him at the Jail, adornng the
walls of the cell with pictures to make
the surroundings more attractive, reads
books and daily papers aloud to her
husband and urges him all the time
to take outdoor exercises and accom-
panies him in all his walks around the
court yard lawn.
Watching Pettibone in his heroic
effort to regain back his health, one
cannot help but feel sorry for him
remembering that it is nearly two
years since he was kidnapped from his
home in Denver and facing n charge
that is liable to end his life on the
scaffold, with ever occurring delays in
the commencements of the trial, It il
no wonder that his health is being uni
/ dermined. Capitalism may not be able
to convict him, it may never be able to
murder him on the gallow tree, but
one thing the horde Of capitalism ID
suerly doing and that is to wreck the
health Of George Pettibone. Should he
be set free to-day, from his present
indications il win be a long time be
fore he has regained his old vigor, il
he ever does.
The mine owners may not hang Pet
tibone, but they are slowly but surely
making away with him, through the
long peiod of confinement that he ha,
been forced to undergo.
