Why Lost
My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers

81 believe my fate is not unlike that Of
thousands of other workers who daily
lose their places for reasons they do moi
know, and probably would not believe
When their last pay envelope comes
along, it is usually, Your services nc
longer required If the truth were known
the reason for their unceremonious re-
moval would probably be that their use
fulness was destroyed because of some
mental worry, bodily ailment or general
indisposition. These things, as we all
know, are the most fruitful causes OF
failure in all walks of life. The battle
of Waterloo was lost because of a head
ache. In this quick age our minds must
be clear, rapid. active and free from
outside influence or worry, or else we &c
down to failure with the throng OF
'floaters' who go from one place of en-
ployment TO another, giving no satisfac-
ton to others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with nc
ambition, no will power, and no hope.
EVERY man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is in
himself until he is first free from all
fretful indispositionS and worries.
THAT was my trouble. l was full OF
troubles. That's why lost my job. My
stomach in the first place was always out
of order, and l was worrying about 1t
and my mind grew cloudy and slow. l
made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That
was the end.
There are thousands like me, going
about with quick lunch faces, dyspeptic
manners, and repulsive atmospheres. No
employer wants such mems services.
Take my advice. A healthy stomach is
half the battle for 1t keeps your mind
clear and your face rosy. 1 have a
healthy stomach now and hold a good
position, and my employer is satisfied
and so am |.

tory decree. In that case a transcript of
the record, copy of evidence and tesu-
mony as to legal service on both parties
must be recorded with the church before
such a marriage will be performed. This
makes it almost impossible, and In the
past four years 1 have had but one such
marriage. We regard divorce as the enc

church's Position Known
Bishop Conaty stated that the position
of the Catholic church was too we'll
known to need further statement.
Monsignor Hartnett, vicar general of
the diocese and pastor of the Cathedral
Of st. Vibiana, repeated the statement
made by the bishop and said that moth
Ing could be said too strong against di-
vorce. The monsignor also stated the
church absolutely prohibits the remar-
riage of divorced persons, and that no
Catholic could apply for :. legal separa-
ton, which is not divorce, without the
permission of the bishop of the diocese
Bishop Joseph H. johnson of the Epis-
cOpal see of Los Angel 3, stated that
divorce could not be too strongly con-
demned. Bishop johnson has always
taken an active stand against the evil,
and has taken several strong measures in
the diocese against it,.
Rev. William Horace Day pastor of the
First Congregational church, said:
Divorce it the weakening of family life
and Is at the bottom of moral catastrophe
in business and social life. People take
the tie too lightly"
Rev. Baker P. Lee. rector of Christ
Episcopal church, stated in the strongest
terms the opposition of the church on
divorce, and said that he had never mar
ried divorced people.
Or. S. Hecht, rabbi of the Temple B'nai
Birth. said that he deplored the fact of
so many divorces. but did not look upon
divorce In itself as necessarily wrong IN
der the right conditions.

Gold Mining company. G.. G. Chamberlain,
the general manager. and Whiting Thomp-
son, the secretary, We're discharged from
custody by Judge Olin Wellborn Of the
United States district court yesterday.
The alleged offense was declared barred
by the statute of limitations. Judge Well
born refused to issue an order for the
removal of the defendants to Wilkes
barre, Pa. The offense charged was the
fraudulent use of the United States malls
in promotion of sales Of mining stock.
The particular defect in the Indictment
was the omission OF the words ito be sent
and delivered" 1t is not sufficient, under
the amended act Of 1889, TO state that the
letter in which the fraudulent representa-
tons occurred was placed in the post
office. 1t must be declared to have been

Considers Law Points
Judge Wellborn, who confined himself
to the points of law involved without
passing upon the guilt or innocence of the
defendants. said to send them back to
Pennsylvania where there was no hope
of conviction would be ian idle act.'
United States District Attorney Oscar
Lawler said that he would telegraph the
officials of the keystone state If there
were grounds for another indictment. 1t
is said that another Indictment will be
returned IL it is found a subsequent Of
Tense was committed which would come
within the statute of limitations.
In case of another offense 1t is said II
must have been committed IN this dis

from Pennsylvania for three years. This
trial. which has been of long duration
and cost the government $3000 is the re-

ruling by the United States supreme
court that when 1t is sought to extradite

in effect sows dragons teeth over half
the soil of the state and spreads to

THE SUPREME COURT.

A most intelligent nan whom all
the city knows said to the writer re-
Gently: "You think it wrong to in
weigh against the supreme court. l
do not. The people of the states send
their representatives to the legislature
to make laws. In the same way and
for the same purpose the states send
gress, and in that way the whole
eighty-ive millions of people of this
country become directly or Indirectly
parties to the making of all our laws.
But here come five men and with a
few strokes of the pen undo all that
the people have done, which I think
is a manifest injustice, and I think
I have a right to say So"
The answer to that Is that botn
the states and the United States have
upon what state legislatures con-
gress can 10. Were this not so, New
York, Pennsylvania and two or three
more states might dictate the legi5-
lation of the United States. Califor-
mia could lay Nevada under tribute
at any time. There must be-some tri.
bunal to judge whether laws are con
s~titutional or not. Again, there must
be a tribunal to judge whether con
gress in any way enroaches upon the
right of any state Or whether any
state legislature is usurping powers
which the state in the beginning sur.
rendered to the federal government,
or whether a state law is a tyranny
upon n class of people. All these
things and many more are left for
the supreme court to adjust, and that
body is entitled to the utmost respect
and trust of the people; and while
it may have made mistakes, the rec.
ord of its work is the fairest record
in all the archives of the republic.
And while it is true that the theory
of our government is that the people
rule, that does not imply that there
shall be no impartial censor to decide
what is crude, unwise, or unjust in
that rule, for without it our govern.

The Omaha Bee of yesterday car
ried a special telegram from Chey-
enne stating that Count Tosti, the Ital-
ian consul at Denver, has gone to
Hanna where he will investigate the
recent explosion in mine No. l of the
Union Pacific Coal company, n in
which several of his countrymen lost
! their lives.
Count Tosti is acting under instruc-
tions from the Italian government,
which will investigate this affair thor
oughly, with the intention of calling
upon Uncle Sam to indemnify the sur
vivors of the several Italian victims.
Sensations Promised. 3.
The telegram contained the follow
ing paragraph, which is referred to by
General Manager D.. o. Clark in a
| clipping from the Omaha Bee and ap-
pearing under the Cheyenne special:
There will be sensational develop
ments soon, and it will be shown that
the Hanna mine has been a death trap
for years; that it has been on fire al
most constantly since the explosion of
1908, and that this fact is known by
high officials of the Goa company, aud
was known by David Elias, the state
coal mine Inspector, who walked TO
his death with the party of fifty relief
workers killed in the second explo.
sion"
Mr.. Clark Quoted.
81 heartily welcome the proposed in
spection of our mine by the Italian
consul, or by any official for that mat
ter, and / am sure that anyone con-
nected with the mine would be glan
to furnish any information possible"
said d. o. Clark of Omaha, vice presi-
dent of the Union Pacific Coal com
pany, though he doubts If Count Tosti
is to make the proposed investigation
under instructions from his govern
ment.
I'm the explosion of five years ago
all claims against the company were
settled in full, payment being made to
administrators, l believe, but L never
before heard it intimated that the Ital-
ian government held back part of the
money held over. This may be true,
however, in cases where the families
lived in the old country. Italians, Eng
fish, Finlanders and the colored people
all had administrators at the mine.
Says Statement is Absurd.
There is one thing, though, that
certainly object to in this report from
Cheyenne, and that Is the statement
that the mine has been considered un-
safe, and that Governor Brooks and
the state mine inspector knew it. This
is not so and the statement is absolute.
ly absurd. Does it stand to reason,
that if David Elias, the state mine in
spector, considered the mine unsafe
that he would have entered it after the
first explosion AND lost his life in the
second? The state inspector visited
the mine every sixty days and his re-
port to the effect that it was in good
condition and considered safe are on
file in our offices. Governor Brooks,
as well, never considered the mine un-
safe"
Vice President Clark says he does
not know whether the mine will be
reopened for fuather operations or
not. When conditions permit a thor
ough examination, inspectors will be
in a position to report whether or not
the r~eopening of the mine would be
profitable. In this the owners with
have to rely upon the report of the
inspectors, as in the past they relied
upon these reports as to the safety of
the mine.
