A Pretty Warm Fish.

a we'll known fisherman was fishing
for perch and was seated along the
edge of lake near the roots of Il
large tree, which was favorte spot
for the perch. Luck had been only
fair, and he was debating on the ques-
ton Of hauling in the line and going
home when there came powerful
tug.
He knew that he had huge fish
and struggled vigorously for twenty
minutes before he landed his prize.
1t was a sunfish, one of the largest he
had ever seen. He landed it on the
bank, and then he noticed that the
rays from the fish were SO powerful
that he was almost blinded, and the
grass In the vicinity was shriveled up
by the heat.
A few minutes later the man fell
over. He had been sunstruck by the
sunfish and was beyond hope.-Phil-

live hold that there is a class struggle in society and that this struggle is caused by economic con- ditions.
 2.-We affirm the economic con- dition of the producer to be that he is exploited of the wealth which he pro- duces, being allowed to retain barely sufficient for his elementary necessi- ties.
 3.-We hold that the class struggle will continue until the producer is recognized as the sole master of his product.
 Ave assert that the working class and it alone, can and must achieve it's own emancipation.
 5.-We hold, finally, that an indus trial union and the concerted politi. cal action of all wage workers, is the only method of attaining this end.
 6.-Therefore, we, the wage slaves employed in and around the mines, mills and smelters of the World, have associated in the Western Federation of Miners, Mining Department of the Industrial Workers of the World.

On Dec. 21st. Attorney o. N.H Hilton of Denver, attorney for the Western Federation of Miners, argued before the Supreme Court of Nevada the mot ion of a new trial of the cases of Pres ton and Smith. Preston and Smith were convicte of the murder of Silva, a Goldfield restaurant keeper, and sentenced to twenty-five and ten years, respectively, in Carson peni- tentiary. Silva was killed by Preston in March of this year; and the con- yicted men were sentenced in May.
 It has always been contended by the union men of Goldfield that Preston killed Silva in self defence;; that the trial of the case, conduted as it was amid all the excitement and prejudice inseperable from labor disputes such as was then in existece, was not fair, and that the convicted men were en- titled to new trial. We print below the conclusion of Judge Hilton's argument before the Supreme Court.
 "As individal units of that society,
 we are here to decide grave and mo- mentous question. The position con- cerns the liberty of two men; two men, soldiers of fortune, if you please, whom it seems have sought in an
 humble but perhaps mistaken way
 to right wrong. This attempt led to a discussion; the discussion has produced irritation ;the irritation has resulted in unrest and enmity; each has stood for his rights as he viewed them; these rights have clashed; the clash has resulted in an affray; a crime has been committed, an offense of which the public must take notice.
 By reason of economic conditions,
 public opinion has not only taken
 note of the offense but great stress of public feeling has followed; the stress of feeling has colored and as I view it,. perverted dispassionate judgment, and by such perversion the safeguards thrown about to protect the liberty of the individual, and hence the en- tire community composed of such individuals, have been disregarded to
 the harm of the individuals of that community. ButI am not yet ready, nor dol think Your Honors are ready to yield assent to changing and mod flying constitutional safeguards so that oppression may. continue on the

The working class and the employ v ing class have nothing in common There can be no peace so long as hun ger and want are found among mil lions of working people and the few. who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
 Between these two classes a struggle must go on until all the toilers come. together on the political as we'll as on the industrial field, and take and hold that which they produce by their labor thru an economic organization of the working class, without atfilia- tion with any political party.
 The rapid gathering of wealth and the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands. make the trades union unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class, because the trades unions foster state of things which. allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. The trades unions aid the employing class to m islead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers.
 These sad conditions can be changed and the interests of the working class upheld only by an organization,formed in such way that all it's members in any one industry, or in all industries. if necessary, cease work whenever a. strike or lockout is on in any depart ment thereof thus making an injury to one an injury to all.
 Therefore, without endorsing or de- string the endorsement of any political party, we unite under the following. constitution: ,. ..

one hand and crime go unpunished on
 the other. I do not believe that we can swerve from these principles in any emergency or to fit any end, without paying the cost of confused and disturbed state of society. We find that this is true of the Conner cial world today disturbed, excited, unhealthy conditions of affairs in duced by laxity in business methods. Should the same iaxity of method prevail in the domain of justice we must pay the price of justice de- throned and tyranny rampant.
 Therefore I am asking now that Your Honors again with patience and consideration and impartiality to apply the underlying principles ofthe law to the facts of this case, and check that unwise partizanship and stress of feeling that has, for time, forgotten the calmer and saner things.
 It makes no difference that for eight thousand years we have sought to apply these principles, yet the duty is none the less important to reapply them in this case, and to the still greater number of criminal cases, that unfortunately, in the course of human civilization must, come before the courts of our land. We have built up a system, stone upon stone, but if we are to maintain the harmony and bea- uty of that system, we, now here, must again add to it, with all the patience and unselfishness of work man building for the future and we must be true to the pattern set in the foundation stone justice and equality
 without fear and without favor.

There are evidences that it has not always grow harmoniously nor in accordance with the pattern set in the found ation stone, have with patience, lern- ing and justice, striped from the struc- ture the evidences of it's disfigure- ment and haste, and replaced and re- paired it. 1t should not discourage us that it may have to be done again and again as humanity is perturbed and tossed to and fro with sudden em- otions and feeling, because that which

The railroads are overshooting the mark in their hostility for Roosevelt. They are now causing it to be known that they have bills against Roosevelt amounting to many thousand dollars ]. for transportation for whiskey, for cigars and other refreshments, :" which bills remain unsatisfied. The information is intended to injure the Presidents prestige. It will do the opposite. The spirit of swagger, that Roosevelt has introduced. in the po- litical morals of the land, admires the dead beat, especially when he, dead beats rail road.

Tesedo had been in Omaha for a year

immigration bureau at Washington that
he was here as an undesirable alien, hav-
ing been convicted OF a crime in Italy and
was shipped to this country by some Of his
Black Hand or Malta friends.
The immigration authorities were on the
lookout for Tesedo here for some time.
He was finally located in one of the grad
ing camps, but managed to elude apprehen-
sion for several weeks. He was finally
landed and placed in jail. An effort was
made at one time to secure his release on
bail, but was unsuccessful, as the govern
ment will not accept bail in such cases
where the immigrant is an alien criminal.
