THE BUTTE STRIKE.

Unless wisdom shall prevail, loss
approaching disaster will occur in
Butte. where. the dispatches say, the
greatest concerted strike In the history
of the city has been inaugurated.
Already all of the newspapers OF the
busy copper town have suspended. and
the prospects of their resumption in the
near future Is far from bright. The
lInemen of the telegraph and telephone
companies have gone out and the oper-
ators OF the latter have quit work with
talk OF further sympathetic action.
Even the government mail carriers
have resigned. Various industries are
involved and the usual disincllnation
that so often accompanies the early
stages OF labor controversies. is in evil
dence II would be well TO sweep this
aside at once and get together In
reasonable way and adjust such DIFF
ferences as may be substantial. IL any
such there be. For years, Butte haF
been known everywhere as a high price
town. Usually there is employment
for all. and the wage scale Is always
at the top. So now. when the news
papers of the city. and those OF Ana
conda get together and agree that they
win not, that they cannot, accede TO the
demands of the prcssmen for an addi-
tional dollar each day for their work.
and an increase OF nifty cents a day
for Job men, the strike is precipitated.
The scale is already the highest I'm tho
United states with the exception OF
that IN two Nevada mining towns. I'M
I'll now the unions have been pretty
Wen able TO dictate terms. But II
appears that the limit has been reached
and that a terrific struggle Is imml-

until a new understanding is arrived at.
Last night the Butte Publishers as
ISOLATION issued u statement directed
TO the typographical aud stercotypers'
unions. which shows that instead of the
newspapers yielding to demands for an
increase. they propose TO reduce wages,
ANA that when the strikers return they

GOVERNOR GooD1NG IS RIGHT.

Governor Gooding's position on the
hest oath bill now before the Idaho leg
Islature. is lndsputably correct. In
his communication 10 the House on the
subject he maintains that no legisla-
ton should be enacted aimed at any
special class az citizens, but laws should
include all ciIsses alike. Class legisla-
ton would destroy the equality before
the law which is recognized as one Of
the corner stones Of American govern
nent
i-"Mormons" In Idaho Ndemand an
amendment to the Electors oath, in
Guiding a belief In celestial ana patr-
prchal" marriage among the causes of
disqualification OF voters The oath as
now administered covers the ground
completely, and there Is no need Of an
amendment. But il any addition is
TO be made, IT should, as Governor
Gooding points out. be made general
In it's character. and all classes OF
crimes against the home should be in
GUIDED An adultery and fornication
clause should be added as well. and
anyone who refuses to subscribe to the
path so amended. should be barred from
voting That is the Governors sug-
gestlon. and we hope the Idaho legls-
Iators will sustain him in this. 1t is
poor law that has only a one-sIded APP
2lication.

real aim IL to disfranchise all the
members of the Church in Idaho, pre-
lend to be inspired only by laudable

MAY HIS REWARD BE SURE!

II was startling and sad news that
came to Salt Lake from Chicago this
week. when the death OF Register
Frank n. Hobbs was announced. Frank
Hobbs was a good citizen, competent
official and an upright man. He had
served his adopted state well. as he
had other states before. and as he had
his country In the hour of It's darkest
peril.
H. was scarcely more than boy
when he entered the Union army and
went forth TO battle. His valor soon
led him into dangerous places and with
others of his comrades he was captured
and taken to Libby prison, one of the
most somber memories of the great
war The tongue has never spok-
en- nor has the pen been forged
that can thoroughly describe the
horrors he saw and felt. But the
crutch and cane that were ever after
his, bore mute testimony OF his part
In the most direful drama of modern
history. His appointment by three
presidents of the United States. to be
Utah. was an earnest of the esteem in
which he was held in high places. In
all OF his official career in this state
he was courteous and conscientious.
and never was there a whisper of In
efficiency or shortening. His office
was 81 model. and he knew its ramified
details from first TO last. while his rul-
ings We're almost invariably ratified
and enforced by the department at
Washington. His friends were legion
and his foes few. And yet he was a
strong man. but gentle as a woman.
thoroughly devoted Ia his family and
interested in everything that made for
better citizenship. His illness was
a matter OF surprise and the news OF
his death positive shock.
Sad, indeed. is the homecoming OF
wife and daughter. with the remains
of the one whom they so loved and
trusted Together they had gone to
one of the large cities where with the
courage characteristic of his life he
willingly submitted to the surgeons
knife in the vain hope that he might
receive permanent relief from an all
ment that was growing more serious
with his advancing years. There was,
what was considered, a good chance
for him. He took 1t. as many another
has done, and with the result that 1t
gave him an early and unhoped for
passage across the dark river. The
people of Utah, whose friend and ser
want he was. win hope that the journey
will lead to a brighter and better land.
where he will make ready for the COM
ing, In course Of time, of those he left
behind. Meanwhile may his rest be
sweet and his reward sure.
