Graphic message passed under the

The cost OF sending q ten-word mes

The resolution on political action
reported by the special committee and
adopted by the convention follows:
Your committee appointed to take
action on the circular sent out by the
American Federation of Labor regard
ing the demands made by labor upon
the political parties Of this common
wealth begs leave to report that we
think that President Gompers of the
federation is entitled to great credit
for the many concessions he has OBJ
tanned for the wage earners Of this
country, and we think 1t a good policy
to follow the suggestion he makes,
which is, in part:
+" I urge you to take up this cam
paign with the utmost enthusiasm and
energy. Scan every candidates rec.
ord; study his party platform. Be
not deceived by vague, u%noficial,
plausible assurances Of friendship. Let
party Affiliations be cast aside in the
great struggle to preserve the rights
and freedom, not only Of the working
people, but Of all people. Let labor
take concerted action to protect and
preserve its Industrial and civic rights
and vote as it's conscience Dictates
1--WE recommend to this convention
that It advise all aftliated organtza-
tions and laboring people in the state
Of Montana that they realize the stern
necessity Of supporting candidates
who have, and will, enact legislation
favorable to our interests. (signed)

Dairy Herd Goes Blind.

Los Angeles. Sept. THAT II
cows in the Giegerich dairy which
have gone blind mysteriously are the
victims of a now disease is the opin-
ion of H. J. Daniels, veterinary
surgeon, who has been studying the
cases.
At arst there seemed to be every
indication that the cows had been
blinded by a knife plunged into their
eyes. On closer examination 1t was
discovered that the hole in each eye
was located in the same relative posi-
ton.
The veterinary acknowledges that
he never heard of similar disease.
1t Is thought possible that small tum-
ors have formed in the eyes and
broken, leaving a hole and destroy
ing the sight. Tests will be made
with the cows. and it is hoped to
learn the exact cause Of the animals
going blind.

Old Carpet Worth Weight in Gold.


San Francisco. Sept 1.-The car
pct floor Of the adjusting room at the
San Francisco Mint Is about worn
out and after the old covering has
been taking up it will be handled
with far more care than new one.
1t will be many times more valuable,
because it is literally lined with gold.
The old carpet will be burned and
from the ashes the Treasury Depart
ment officials expect to realize about
$4,000.
In the adjusting room files are
used to trim surplus gold from the
coins after being stamped. 1t also
frequently happens that a piece of
overweight parts of the filings thus
taken off fall to the floor and become
imbedded in the grain of the carpet.
The very best carpets are purchased
for this room, SO that the closely
woven material will hold securely the
scattered bits of gold.
1t Is nothing unusual for the Gov
eminent to get $4,000 worth of gold
dust out of the ashes resulting from
the burning Of one Of these carpets.
The floor sweepings are treasured
with the utmost care, as they furnish
enough money to pay the salary Of
the janitor several times over.

whipping at the hands of the mother
Of one of her pupils was the pay re-

has been disseminating her views in
and about Coquille.
The woman had been working on
the feelings Of the 16-year-old daugh-
the girl became almost crazy over
the idea that she would never be
sanctified until she burned her
clothes, as she was told, as good
clothes and jewelry are part of the
temptations Of the devil. The Holy
Roller doctrines preyed on the girls
mind so much that she burned her
best dresses and watch that she
might become sanctified The girl S
mother, not looking upon the matter
in that light, started out to find the
priestess and make her pay for the
burning OF the clothes and watch.
No chariot OF fire came down for
the Holy Roller and she had to max e
rapid tracks for the boat, which she
reached before Mrs. Radabaugh. Mrs.
Radabaugh procured a horse and

the woman on the city wharf, asked
for the pay for the clothes and watch

opinion is given In response to a
