Don't Strike.
tGoodwin's S weekly.)

tGoodwins Weekly)
If the union labor leaders in the coun
try are shrewd, they will not fail to see
that the labor troubles, the strikes and
the threat of strikes, are already having
their effect. The money of the coun-
try is being drawn in. People will not
risk making heavy investments when
the probabilities are that with con-
templated work half completed it will be
indefinitely tied up and possibly the
whole sum be sacrificed by strike.
Those things when pursued long enough
always end one way-the work stops.
Nothing is accomplished in this world
without labor; but labor is impossible
to the great mass of toilers unless there
is money to pay them. The men with
money can get along; the men who de-
pend upon their daily work for liveli-
hood must have reward for their work
or they cannot live. In the old days, it
was possible for man to go out on the
public domain and with almost no
money, by his work produce his own
food, and finally secure Independence.
That cannot be done any more. a
few months ago, in Goldheld, Nevada,
every one who desired could obtain en-
ployment at better wages than were
ever paid men before. The camp was
run by union labor and was perhaps the

Died From The Effects of an
Overdose of Dope.

David Abby. native of Machias,
Maine, about so years Of age, died yes
terday morning at 2 p. m, from the
effects of taking an overdose of dope, to
satisfy his Unsuitable appetite for IL
quor.
About ten years ago, deceased was
employed in the quartz mill of the Ida
no Pittsburg NJ. & NJ. Co, at the Black
Jack, and was considered capable
man, but losing his position there, he
left camp, but drifted back here last
fall, appearing to have no ambition
greater than desire to satisfy his appe-
tite for liquor.
He has been doing odd jobs for the
denizens Of the red Hight district, and
early last Wednesday evening lie visit
ed one OF these resorts ostensibly for
work. During the temporary absence
from the room, of the inmates, he spied
pint flask of what appeared to him to
be whiskey and drank almost the entire
contents of the flask. When he got
back to Washington Street, the dope
began to work and he fell to the side
walk. People passing thought that
poor Dave was only "drunk again.
and no attention was at first paid tc
him. Discovering that Dave had drank
the dope, one of the inmates of the
house Informed several pa ties of the
occurrence, and to 'look out for him,
but did not think be had taken enough
to hurt him, but it might "put him tC
sleep for while.r Failing to arouse
him, DIR. Hamilton was called and die

most prosperous spot on earth. But
then a new order was established. 1t
called itself Industrial Workers of the
World" 1t was engineered by criminals
and loafers and its demands became at
last intolerable.
The result was that mine owners and
business men we're forced to stop work
1t required three or four months to
starve out the scoundrels who had
brought the trouble on, and to restore
something like order and to enable the
legitimate industries to resume their
normal condition. But the camp will
not fully recover from the effects of
what the miscreants did for months to
come. Men are afraid to invest, afraid
TO take part in the progress of the
place. We mean, of course, men at a
distance. They heard of the former
trouble; they do not know how soon it
will be renewed
That is but one instance The news
every morning is of strikes and threat
ened strikes in every direction. 1t is a
reminder of 1898. In that year there was
the Homestead lock out and murders
the Pullman car strikers and plenty
more. A president was elected on the
discomfort of that year.
But the next year it was found that
the money of the country was all locked
up every great industry of the country
was paralyzed. aud the land was filled
with rowing armies of hungry men
Like causes produce like results. 1t is
possible foridiscontented men tostop the
wheels of industry, but when stopped
they cannot start them. In the mean
time their wages stop, and though foof
and clothing may fall to beggerly price
they cannot buy them. The moral is
"Dont strike" but if there are disagree
ments settle them in an honorable way

Pass For Cause.

The sentence, "Pass for cause,' has
appeared quite frequently in the daily
papers during the examination of jurors
for the Haywood case, now being tried
at Boise, yet there are people who do
not understand the meaning of the
terms used In the examination of
jurors the law states some of the causes
for which a man is incompetent to sit
on case and may be excused without
a challenge, while on the other hand if
the questions are answered in the me-
gative he is passed for cause, which
means that he is competent to sit as a
Juror on the case. The following are a
few of the questions that are presented
to the intended juror. After jury of II
men have been passed for cause the state
and the defense each have 10 peremptory
challenges, but after the peremptories
are exhausted and jury of II men Sc
cured, no more peremptory challenges
are permitted and the case must go to
the jury.
