PEACE AND OLYMPIC GAMES.

Al the original Olympic games held
on that famous little plain in Ellis on
the western coast of the Peloponnesus,
pure Hellenic blood was the first quail
8cation demanded of the competitor
In the fifth modern revival of the
games, opened yesterday in London
Twenty-one nations are represented
There is an entry even from Turkey.
In the old classic days of Greece the
plain at Olympia was dedicated to Zeus;
the sports themselves adorned festival
of religious character. Today's Olym-
piad is purely secular. A National Re-
view writer reminds us, nevertheless,
that there is room still to apply to the
new celebration of the games, with all
it's international outlook, that idea OF
peace and unity which attached to the
ancient competitions. which led TO the
proclamation by heralds throughout
Greece of truce covering the period
OF the contests between all lighting
cities and states.
There are about two thousand ath-
letes entered in the lists at London.
These young men," says the Review
writer, Lorn Desborough, ARE repre-
sentative OF the generation into whose
hands the destlnies of most of the ma
tons of the world are passing at this

RESULTS OF DRINK.

According to Information sent out
by the Scientific Temperance Fedora
ton. Boston, a German writer Dr.
Hirschfeld. shows by statistics the
enormous cost of drunkenness To the
city of Berlin He says that over
3 900 men and 800 women are annually
arrested for drunkenness; 80 per cent
of the patients treated in the Char
lottenburg hospital showed injury
from alcohol; $40 new cases of alcohol
ism were received In the 'Dalldori;
i6 per cent of the epileptics received
I'm another institution were the chill
dren of drinking parents; 612 per
cent Of the children In the Berlin
reformatory we're OF alcoholic parent
age; 10000 persons were brought be-
fore the courts on account of alcohol
90 million marks (about Sl625,OOO) are
paid by the people of Berlir to take
care of the poverty due TO alcohol
Ism.
Another doctor in an article In ALI
gemeine Zeitsohrift fuer Psychiatrle
gives the results of some investlga-
tions, extending over two and one-haif
years, in the clinic for mental dis
eases In Konigsberg concerning the
history of patients who have attempt
ed suicide. Among 81 such patients
there were 20 who were pronounced
alcoholics and who had been led to
attempt to take their lives, not from
reconciliation but as an outcome Of
the Authorizations characteristic Of
their disease. Nineteen OF these cases
were chronic drinkers. one was an oc-
casioual drinker Or. Kurbitz urges the
| erection of national asylum where
| such patients can be committed and
| detained for at least one year. Where
they are held for but short time
and allowed to go. they return to their
old ways and soon their own lives or
those of others are in Jeopardy again.

Some of the bond boodlers tell the
people that the citizens who are against
bonding the City this time. are not
proud Of Salt Lake. They never have
good word to say for the city They

that among those opposed to THAI
scheme are citizens who have spent a
lifetime making the city what 1t ia
Among them are men and women who
are doing all in their power to boom
the City, and counteract the chilling
and killing influence OF the anti-"Mor-
mon" disseminators of falschoods about
this City and State. Among them are

a great many home-owners who have
already felt the iron heel Of oppression
in the form of special taxation for i'm

PECULIAR CONDITIONS.
Manchester Union.

An investigation has been conducted
in the District of Columbia which set
forth a surprising result as to the
physical condition of the youth of the
city of Washington. Under the recent
child labor law, those under sixteen
years of age must first obtain a GER
tifcate of rugged health before ac-
cepting a position. Since June 30, 1900
such children have been passed upon
by the official inspector. OF the num-
Der rejected. seventy-tlye were boys
and only two girls 1t is stated that
the number of male applicants was
the larger. but the percentage of boys
suffering from physical disability was
very much larger than that of girls.
The defect that caused the rejection
was principally heart and lung trouble.
Inquiry has satisfied the inspectors
that similar conditions are to be found
In all large cities, that Is that city girls
under the age OF sixteen are far
healthier than city boys of correspond
ing ages.

menaoing are conditions In the lnslg-

will probably be compelled to send a
gunboat to Honduran waters to pre-
vent the destruction OF American pro-

airy armies are little more responsible
than miscellaneous children. They run

After a period of political life he

mines at Marysville, was foreman on
the first sewer system ever in Hell

Vote for
Socialist
Mayor in
Helena
Candidate

James Taylor, candidate for mayor
on the Socialist ticket, is a standard
bearer for the ultimate freedom of the
working class from working for others,
that every man who works in Helena
may have pride and confidence in try
ing to put into the chief office in the
city. Mr.. Taylor has the confidence
of the working class of Helena, and
holds the position of president ofthe
Western Federation of Miners.
He was born in Bedford, Mass. in
1916. With the fate of the majority
of children of poor parents, he never
went to school after he was nine years
Of age, but had to 60 to work instead.
and the young lad grew up Injured to
hard work and the scarcity Of schools
on the frontier.
At IL years he went to northern Mi
chigan and worked in the copper mines
and at other labor there and in Wis
consin.
He was with the party that diseov-
cred the famous Calumet and Hecla
mines. He afterwards worked in the
lumber industry of the upper wiscou.
sin river.
In the spring of 1869 he went to
Duluth, MINI, and afterwards follow
ed the line of the Northern Pacific
to Brainard. IL was while working
for farmer and freighter in this vicin.
ity that he first met Peter Larsen,
the late Helena millionaire, who re.
mained a life long friend of Mr..
Taylor.
Taylor was on his way TO Little

Ripley and went to Leach Lake to-
gether. Mr.. Larsen at that ime hal

To show how consistent and severe
. he is in his burning demands for the
working class there are some items
connected with the history of Mr..
Longmaid as an employer lof labor
that will probaly prove interesting to
the voters whom he hopes to influence.
Mr.. Longmaid, il was discovered by
the trades unions, was violating the
eight-hour law on his properties at
Elkhorn in jefferson county, and work
ing his men around the mines and mills
over eight hours.
J. c. Lowney, member of the nation
al executive board of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, instituted an in
vestigation of the situation but could
arrive at no satisfactory settlement
with Longmaid. He consequently pro-
ceeded to Boulder and swore out war
rant in the office of the county at
torney. So the advocate of law, order
and good government in Helena is to
be brought to trial in jefferson county
for violating the law, with the penalty
of a Jail sentence and heavy fine.

J. V. Weber, candidate for alderman
