festation Of the honor due to the
memory Of one possessed Of high
personal character, large and well
applied native endowments and who
devoted a life time Of unremitting in
dustry and toll, to a field OF en-
deavor that demands the exercise of
the highest gifts God has bestowed
upon man.
He achieved a degree Of success in
his chosen calling that has rarely been
excelled in our day or any other, and
in his death, the world Of editorial life
has lost one of its ablesr, most fear
less, and most profound devotees.
In matters political, religious and
social, Mr.. Mitchell represented the
most advanced ideas of modern
thought. He gloried in dealing hard
blows to all dogmas inconsistent
with a due recognition Of the father
hood of God and brotherhood of man,
but underlying all the apparent Sc
verities Of his rhetoric was the warm,
kind, sympathetic heart Of love not
only for his fellow man, but for all
creation, animate and inartmate.

ANOTHER UNPLEASANT DIS
COVERY,

The average American will read
with concern the report of Rear Ad-
miral Brownson, setting forth the de-
fects in our warships. In view Of the
unpleasantness with Japan, the Ad-
mirars report is Of particular interest.
Indeed, it will strike the average
American as rather peculiar that not
until this late day the defects In our
warships should be made pubic.
While the Americans have been
dreaming along with the idea that
our warships are the best that were
ever launched, 1t is safe to say that
the naval authorities of other nations
know every weak point In them
every blow hole, every plate held In
place with putty instead Of bolts. The
ease with which the Japanese, for
example, have had access to our de-
lenses indicates this. AS d matter OF
fact, Japanese naval Officers are
known to have served as cooks and
walters on our war vessels says the
San Francisco Star.
The cause of the defects in our
warships are traceable to the same
cause back Of the defects in our
transportation system, namely, pri-
vate control Of that which should be
done exclusively by the government.
. Our war vessels have been built in
private yards while the government
/ navy yards have been left practically
idle These war vessels have been
built for gain, and those who have
advantage of the government, even as
3 prominent New York congressman
has charged, to the extent OF substi-
tutins putty for iron rivets. That
they might make all they possibly
could out Of the government, the
owners Of private shipbuilding plants
have maintained expensive lobbies at
Washington and have had their men,
their paid agents, holding down seats
In the Senate and House. The result
is 4 defective fleet Had the vessels
been built at the government yards,
as common sense dictated, we would
not today, on the eve or possible
hostlities with a maritime power,
have war vessels whose effectiveness
has been called into question by our
own naval experts. America will
learn some day. perhaps, the folly Of
permitting private corporations to do
that which can be best done by the
government ITSELF

The Strike And It's Lesson.

From Cook County Herald.
The st. Louis county ore industry
Is In the throes Of an effective strike,
inaugurated by the ore handlers on
the Mesaba docks. Mining and ship
ping operations are closed down COM
pletely. The situation threatens ser
ious consequences to the business in
terests Of Duluth, and it will probably
spread farther. At every recurrence
Of these struggles between capital and
labor, standing upon the theoretical
proposition of individual rights, men
are prone to say to strikers: Hands
off," Theoretically, no government
would be necessary-if all men were
what they ought to be; but for our
common protection against human
avarice we must bear the burdens of
tbs man-made government. This is
very, very practical world-neces-
sarily becoming more and more So

alton makes it uncertain that there is
always justice in commanding hands

off the condition of serfdom in which
they would otherwise be placed by
capitalistic greed.
Organized labor, as we'll as organ
lied capital, often sins against indi-
vidual rights. but for the temporary
peace that might accrue the public
cannot afford to force settlement of
these disputes in an arbitrary manner
nor upon any other basis than that of
justice. We must be practical. We
must. difficult as it is, rise above the
modernized methods of finance that
entangle the worlds affairs to look
for solution that will return to every

which the many are deprived of full

FALSE PRETENSION9.

1t is absurd for any Individual, or
collection Of individuals. 20 say that
they have right to run their own
business In any way they see fit.
There is no business that can be
conducted but that In some way re-
lates to society, and 1t must be sub
ject to such regulations as society de-
mands irrespective of the will Of the
individual, or individuals, who are
conducting the business. The busi-
ness Of the employer and his business
interests are no more Independent
than the business of the employee and
his business interests, and both must
observe such limited rights as society
may popularity impose upon them.

GONE OVER TO THE MAJORITY.

The death roll of our city's pion-
GERS is lengthening rapidly. The de-
mise Of our esteemed friend, r. c.
Mitchell, brought great regret and
pressive warning comes to US that I'm
the midst of life we are III DEATH"
Only a day or two before his death,
we exchanged friendly greetings, and
he was apparently in the prime Of
health, full of hope, with the bright
anticipations Of future that should
fill up the perfect measure Of a USE
full and honorab bic life but alas! "the
silver cord is loosened, the golden
bowl is broken" and the adviser Of
our boyhood, and comrade of our
manhood is gone, and we can only
render our humble tribute of appreci-
alton and Of sorrcw in presence Of
calamity which extends teyond the
limits Of his famlly's Threshold and
invades the circle Of the entire city.
In the death OF R. C. Mitchell,
loss to the city Of Dulush has been
sustained, the full extent of which
can now only be realized by those
whose good fortune it was to know
him intimately. He was at all times,
and on all occasions the most public
spirited OF citizens,-alert to every
measure that gave promise of enurine
to the benefit and prosperity of the
city. His time, money, energy and
talents, were freely bestowed for the
advancement OF every legitimate pro-
{, ject that contributed in any degree to
X the upbuilding o. the city and it's
people.

IL the trial had done nothing else, It
has given the American people an in
sight into the workings Of the Pinker-
ton detective agency. The labor or
ganizations Of the country will not fail
to take full note Of the revelations
made at the trial.
This agency is. looked up and en-
ployed by corporations which have
some dirty interruptions work on hand
for them to do, and the Pinkertons
enter upon its performance without re-
gard to it's honesty, lawfulness or
legitimacy.
Every large city has detective de-
partment allied with, and constituting
a part of its police organization. Peo-
pie who have legitimate business re-
curing the services Of detectives &C
to the lawful authorities for assist
ance. The police detectives as rule,
are the peers in skill and ability of
any of the Pinkertons.
But those corporations that have dis
reputable. reprehensible, dishonest or
illegal work to do, steer clear of police
departments,-the INSCRIPTIONS thugs
Of the Pinkerton agency are much
more to their liking. That itself ought
to be enough to condemn not only
the Pinkerton methods, but the corpo-
ration that employs them.
1t is our calm. unbiased and deliber-
ate judgment, that the Pinkerton de-
tective agency is a menace to Amer
an law and liberty, ought not to be
tolerated in civilized country, and

VERDICT AcQUlTTAL.

Heretofore we maintained an atti-
tude of armed neutrality" towards the
Haywood trial.
But in common with millions Of
lovers of fair play throughout this
nation we were intensely interested in
the outcome
If Haywood was guilty we wanted
him convicted. Being so far removed
from the scene of operations we did
not know whether he was or not.
Every since his prosecution was in
stituted the reprehensible and lawless
methods Of the mine owners and
smelter kings created a doubt in our
minds Of the good faith of the prose-
cution.
They showed a determination to
convict Haywood whether guilty or
innocent Their attitude towards the
Western Federation was so unrelent-
ing and vindictive that nothing short
of the sacrificing of an innocent victim
seemed to satisfy their malice.
They disregarded every law, tramp
led Justice under foot, and availed
themselves Of everything that money
could buy, and Pinkerton thugs could
accomplish, to ensure conviction, and
not only seal the doom Of the man on
fyjo al hr1t III to f7o
Western Federation.
They relied upon the evidence of a
man who had shown himself to be as
cold blooded and mercenary a murder
fend as ever lived on this earth. He
out heroded Herod in devilishness.
His testimony was contradicted by
scores of good reputable witnesses.
He admitted there was no crime in the
calendar that he would not commit for
money.
The witnesses who impeached his
testimony were from all walks and
| classes in life, and many Of them had
! no interest whatever in the outcome
! of the trial.
! The whole dependence of the prose-
cution was upon the evidence of this
one man. He was not only uncorro-
borated, but the defence by an over
whelming array of creditable wit
nesses conclusiveiy proved that he was
| lying.
| A jury of IL honest men was left
no alternative but to acquit the de-
PENDANT, which they did.
To the everlasting glory OF American
law, and American justice, the nefari-
Gus plot Of the Mine Owners associ-
alton, supplemented by tho Pinker-
tons, is frustrated, and truth and
righteousness is supreme.
There ought to be some way OF
