Imaginary Murder Society.

The improbabllity of the existence of
such q murderous institution as the
Peoples league described in j. \.
Mitchelrs romance, "The Silent war"
was one of the severest criticisms Wis
tied upon that widely read work. 1t
was said that such society, whose
object was the removal Of those op-
posed to the interests Of labor, could
not exist for a moment. If there is
any more proof needed that truth is
stranger than fiction, it is given in this
instance by the testimony of Orchard
in the Idaho murder trial. If Orchard
is to be believed, Mr.. Mitchell's imag-
mary murder society was a Sunday
school class in comparison with the
real thing as 1t existed in the western
mining states.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907.

The recent mild panic In New York

interests In the remainder Of the
country to such a small extent. 1t
Il true thatit was checked before it
reached any very alarming proper
tlons, but even il it had bsen allowed
TO take It's course It is not believed
that 1t would have demoralizad to
any great degree the business Of The
country. There was a time when
any considerable furry in the money
market In New York unsettled bust
ness throughout the entire country.
but that day has passed unless the
trou bic in New York is the result oi
unss titled conditions elsewhere. No
panic having it's origin in New Iorb
can possibly affect business generally
in the present condition OF the coun-
try at large. New York no longe
measures the heart beats OF the M.
tion In matters financial and bust
mess. 1t is a tremendous artery IL
Ee business affairs OF the nation.
but there is too much OF life and
vitality elsewhere to be paralyzed
every time a cog slips in the metrop-
oils. To our mind nothing has hap
pened lately which has given more
substantial evidence OF the general
prosperity OF the country than the
failure OF the recent panic in Wall
Street to affect business elsewhere
The people OF the country are too
busy dealing in real values to be flus-
trated by the rise or decline OF val
