TOO MUCH UNION.
"Ihis is What Ais Butte" Says ID. S.
Murray Of This City.

General Manager d. s. Murray of
the Bell Telephone company has re-
turned from Butte where he was call.
ed by the strike of the operators
there. Mr.. Murray said today. that
while he had made some concessions
which resulted in the oirls returning
TO work he was satisfied that the de-
mand for raise in pay had no rea-
sonable grounds. True. living is
high in Butte, but the pay the girls
were already receiving. amply suf-
feed" he asserted this morning.
Their action is simply part OF the
general move being made by all of
the unions In Butte for higher and
higher wages. although the wages
paid there are already the highest in
the United States. Plumbers are get
ting ~ per day, hod carriers are get
ting 80 per day and propose to demand
even more. Miners are receiving S3.75
per day. but 1t is understood that they
VIII demand an extra quarter, making
the figure 81. Labor agitators there
seem determined TO make rigid en-
forcemcnt of the eight hour day no
matter what the consequences may be
10 individual members.
In fact, so stringent is it proposed
to enforce this eight hour day, that
the unions will not allow a man 10
work overtime even with overtime
pay" Mr.. Murray called the attention
OF the committee that conferred with
him, to the fact that very often the
chances to earn little extra money
would come in very handy where a
man had large family and perhaps
sickness.but the committee replied that
this did not make any difference.
Even hotel walters are allowed to
work only eight hours. and If a dinner
party is to be 'iven. walters must be
hunted UP on the streets" says Mr..
Murray. Things are coming to such
a pass in Butte that there are evidently
serious times ahead"

A FIILURE IN KANSAS.

Kansas isn't the whole world, but the whole world may be said to be in Kan sas. It may even be said to be in Lan- caster, Kansas, where a literary society has just felt compelled to disband. Its members, owing to their well known and justly famous thinking power, were called on to deal with questions which the common people felt unable to deal with. But the literary folks soon had to discover that they had bitten off more than they could chew. They no sooner solved one weighty question than another presented itself, until fin- ally they were showed under. Many of the points in dispute left to them were 4so trivial as to only take up their time and wear them out, but every man be- hind a grievance insisted that his was the most serious since the world began, and demanded solution.
 Such is life, and such it will be for a long time. But what a pity it is that the literary people of Lancaster, Kan sas, and the literary people of all other
 places, are not able to satisfy and soothe the common people.

THE ORANGE CHARTER.

We take 1t that the committee of twenty-five in the town of Orange which has had charge of the remark able movement to make a municipality of the historic old town will when 1t meets Thursday evening not settle up- on a date when the proposed city char ter shall be submitted to the voters but decide upon a date which will be recommended to the board of select men. The newspapers have 1t that this committee will select a date sometime ir September for the referendum.
 If we are not mistaken the power to settle upon date rests with the honorable selectmen and not with the urgent West Haven borough enthusi- asts who have persuaded themselves that city government would be bet ter than a town or borough govern ment. We should also expect to see the selectmen pick out the regular town meeting day in October on the score of economy and also on the ground that a more representative vote would be cast. So that when the historic committee of twenty-five meets Thurs day evening things ought to go in an opposite direction from that determin- ed upon by the political managers.
 From an educational point of view

ONE OF THE CHANGES.

This is a world of change. How much it can change Is indicated by the fact that the British admiralty has come to the conclusion that it is time for the British tar and grog to part company. and so far as the navy is concerned the order has been issued that the names of all sailors who take their grog shall be posted. Heretofore the names of abstainers have been kept on an honorary list, but it is now going to be definitely dishonorable to be drunk and to be sober is going to be regarded as the normal condition for naval men,
 Of course this change will necessi- tate a change in the general notion that the British tar and his grog are inseparable, and that he is happiest when drinking it, or singing about it

yoF READY.

The Jamestown Exposition is done before it is done. In other words it is at last in the order 1t was intended to be in at first. Owing to it's incomplete ness and some other things 1t has not had a large attendance, and the indica- ticns are that 1t Is coming out with one of those deficits which are cheerfully and falsely said to be less embarrassing than a surplus. But it may pick up between now and cool weather more than 1t is expected to. It will continue through the fall, and a trip to 1t will be very pleasant. It can be encourag- irgly noticed that the Chicago exposi- ton made heavy gains after August, and by far the largest attendance was in the last month, October. The St. Louis exposition reached its highest figure in September, but October furnished a very close second.
 Better luck to the rest of the James, town show. It had a good reason for being, and it ought to have been sooner and better than it was. Now that 1t is, we hope 1t will draw much more of the needed money.

THE VAR WORTH oFABA171EsH1r

Those who are swelling with local and other pride over the battleship Connecticut will be aided In swelling some more by Captain Bradley A. Fiske's idea of what battleship Is. He shows that the battleship is worth more than an army of 123,00o men, equipped with engines more than half as great as that of all the men and horses in that army, if the energy of the human beings and animals could be concentrated, with an ability to go farther in any length of time and be self-supporting for a much greater length of time. He reaches these con clusions by estimating that 100000 nien would weigh 7,200 tons, or one- half the weight of large battleship, and that this force could be augment ed by 5000 artillery with 800 guns and 17,000 cavalry. The fire from this army would equal only about ten twelve-inch and five five-inch guns. He adds, with significance, that such an army would be commanded by a gen. eral, while battleship is commanded by captain-who corresponds to a colonel in the army. It is further noin+ed out that the army of 123,000 men must be widely scattered, with a doubtful sytem of communication, and impossible of any such concentration 4n the way of fire as comes from the battleship.
 All of which is worth what it will fetch. According to this figuring, an air battleship which can sail above an army of 12S,OOo or more would be a pretty valuable machine.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
A Thrice Great Joke.
(sprlngfeld RepublIcan. )

(Springfield Republican,
 The great, thrice great, Cesare Lom- broso of Turin, theorist on criminology and writer of some of the absurdest books ever put forth in the name of science, caught himself beautifully the other day in explaining how 1t was that the character of one Soleillant, child murderer of Paris, was all written from birth in his hands. He had the photographs of two hands from the BeFtillon bureau, and to him the lines thereon indicated by their chromatic asymmetry the born malefactor and epileptic." "Chromatic"-what does that mean exactly in the connection? But never mind he went on to say that one of these two photographed hands was distinctly characteristic of the lower apes-who nevertheless are not criminals. The joke now comes in. Lombroso's scientific readings were not based on Soleillants hands, but on the right hand of skinner and the left hand of a hostler. both of them as quiet and harmless as man could be. The fact is the Italian professor Is obsessed by fad, and all his works, though they comprise many interesting data, are when one reaches his conclu- sions simply trash.

 Whether the federal admlnistra- ton has been a bit strenuous in it's batting of the Standard oil company, lis a question calling for an entirely different outlook and not necessarily that taken by it's president. President Roosevelt's course has frightened values and has impaired business com fidence, but there could have been no such course adopted had there not been a reason for it. In this connec- ton the over-strenuousness of the Roosevelt policy of corporation batting is of comparative insignlficance when weighed in the scales of public policy. Something had to be done to weaken the Rockefeller point of view or con front a worst condition of things. At least this is the theory of those who support the Roosevelt attitude with
 the greatest enthusiasm. Whether the
 pointAs well taken or not, it is mani
 fest that the more the Rockefeller point of view is presented the more popular becomes the opposing poin

An rNrrnr,r1Na rxJuA orrox

Municipal ownership of public utili- ties isn't as popular as it was before it was discovered that it isn't as profit able as 1t was said to be. An injunction has just been issued in Milwaukee to prevent the erection of $1,500,0O0 pub lie electric lighting plant, which an ele- IT ent, just now very strong in munich pal affairs In Milwaukee, decided should be established. The opposition comes from no private company or companies, but from the associations of business men, supported by the city comptroller. Were this radical step talk en it would mean the taking of this large sum from schools and public im- provements, which the responsible citi- zens know they need, and applying it to an empirical enterprise whose benS eficiaries would be those with nothing tc lose and everything to gain.
 It will be decidedly interesting to see how this injunction turns out Perhaps "the will of the people" will be more powerful and more legal than the good sense of some of the people. But 1t vii be painful dose for many in Mllwau. kee to take if they have to swallow this
 new scheme for "the good of the pub | lie"
