LOS ANGELES, October big Jim
Barry of Chicago required six rounds
and part of the seventh at Maud
Junction tonight to beat Battling
johnson into such a hopeless state Of
submission that the Russians seconds
tossed a towel into the ring as a hum
bic token of defeat.
johnson did not take kindly. to the
charitable act of his handlers. Instead
he rushed over to his corner with an
oath and attempted to strike BILL"
Gaines, his humane manager.
The only feature of the battle was
the superhuman ability of the giant
foreigner to assimilate punishment. He
was whipped in every one of the seven
rounds, taking terrible blows flush
upon the jaws, that seemed powerful
enough to have staggered an elephant.

WHY LABOR IS IN POLITICS.

Labor has rights that labor alone
can protect and safeguard, and
labor has learned through bitter
experience that it cannot trust it's
interests to silver tongued politi-
cions who at heart have little or
no sympathy with the working
classes. The time is near at hand
when it must choose representa-
ives from its own ranks and
thought, the men they elect may
not be as brilliant as some of the old
party politicians, they understand
the need Of the working classes far
better. This is the truth that the
working classes are beginning to
realize, and the result is that old
time party lines will soon be com
pletely upset.
Workingmen have been taken
of in the past and are
being imposed upon today by a |
large number of men and combina-
tons of wealth, who have ridden
into political power or who have
to secure the election of
whom they could
depend upon to safeguard their in
terestS.
The result has been that the
interests have been

MAIL ORDER MENACE.

The most serious problem con-
fronting the retail merchants of
our city to-day and the one that
is giving them the most concern is
that of the co-called mail order
systematic retail catalog house
trade.
This is an. era of combinations
trusts, both financial, industrial,
and commercial But the most
menacing trust in the world today
is the commercial combination that
tend to destroy the retail business
of the country by diverting the
trade from it's natural channels to
the great money centers.
Not satisfied with the mercantile
fields, these commercial trusts are
also seeking to become the finan-
cial depositaries for the rural dis.
tricts by opening bank depart
ments, and as an inducement Of
tering six per cent on deposits.
If the retail trade is to hold it's
ground against the competition OF
the catalog houses, they must meet
them on the broad field of advertis-
ing and publicity, as well as on the
field of prices. And this must be
done through the local press.
Some of the local merchants have
advertised literally in the local
press, but much larger number
have utterly failed to keep up with
procession. The people often do
not know what the local merchants
has in store--neither do they know
the prices, but they do know what
the catalog house has to sell, and
the price is always before the eve.

OF Newcastle, Ind, has placed the
ban on all advertising schemes, and
will have nothing to do with pro-
grams, so-called business director.
les, and ether devices devised to
separate merchant from his cash.
Newspaper advertising is recognize
ed as the only profitable publicity
method, and will be strictly adj
hered to in the future. If all the
country merchants will use space
in their local papers little more
freely and change their ads often,
If they can quote prices, describe
goods in stock or to arrive at a
certain date, they will scoD find
themselves protting by tin well
coming trade now going to the
large mail order houses of Chicago
which they have secured wholly
by advertising.

DUTY OF THE HOUR.

The present unsettled condition
of the mining world calls for the
most conservative action on the
part of both the operators and
miners throughout the entire coun-
try. 1t is no time for inflam-
matory utterances either verbal or
written. Injudicious action is not
commendable at any time, and at
the present, he certainly is not the
friend of either party or the gen
eral public, who will endeavor to
estrange the contending factions
by the utterance of misleading
statements. This applies with
great force to the public press,
whose duty it should be to edu-
cate the public conscience in order
ly law abiding habits of thought
and action. The editorial utter
ances of the press should be direct.
ed to the maintenance of peace,
rather than to the provoking of
war.
We yield precedence to no man
in our love for and attachment to
the institutions of the country
under whose canopy we first saw
the light of day, and we can con-
ceive of no higher duty that we
can perform to it's civilization than
to use our best endeavors to pre-
vent any clashipg between capital
and labor.
The right is always located be
tween the two extremes, and no
man or set Of men should feel
themselves a particle Inundated
by making such concessions as
right and justice demand.
1t is extremely gratifying to us
to note disposition on part OF
both the West Virginia operators
and miners in this field to come to
gether and adjust their differences
by civilized American methods,
and thus vindicate the high stan
dard for fairness which always
characterized the dealing of the
fair employers with it's employees,
and also be a tribute to the faith
fulness, intelligence, and lawabid-
ing disposition Of both employers
and employees.
Unless all indications fail the
joint agreement in the Kanawha
field will be in full force and effect
by May list and the same cordial
relations that have prevailed in the
kanawha Valley for the past few
years between the miners and
operators will continue and peace
and prosperity will abound.
