labor, his record rises up to be-
lie his words, the record Of a
persistent, unrelenting, vindict-
i've enemy of the workingman.
Will the man who lent his voice
and vote in the state senate of
Nevada to say that the health,
the life and the comfort of the
laboring man was of no conse-
quence to him; that there was
no limit to the number of hours
of toll which the capitalist might
exact from the laborer, come be-
fore the people and ask these
same workingmen to approve
him and send him to Washing
ton in the face of that record ?
Will the toilers who sent Elan
igan to the Nevada senate only
to see him deliver over his vote
to their oppressors, now send
him to the United States senate
to repeat the performance on a
larger scale -?
Here is the Flanagan labor rec
ord the damned spot that will
not out:
When assembly bill No. 7,
after passing the lower house by
an unanimous vote, came before
the senate in January, 1901, the
toilers of Nevada looked to Flan-
igan to redeem his words and
prove his friendship for their in
terests. That bill became, later,
the Eight Hour Law, and that
law made it unlawful for any
person to work in a smelter for a
longer period of time than eight
consecutive hours.
Here is the law that Flanagan
killed in committee and then
called up for burial on the floor
of the senate:
Assembly Bill No. z,
introduced by Mr.. Burke, Jan.
%, 1901.
Read for the first time, rules
suspended, read second time by
title and referred to the Commit
tee on Mines and Mining,

of Employment in Underground

Likes Bibles Bound in colors.

Why should our Bibles always be
bound in black? was very pertinent
question put by Bishop Tugwell, fresh
from his field of labor in western equa
torial Africa, at meeting in connec-
ton with the Religious Tract society's
one hundred and ninth anniversary.
The bishop viewed with satisfaction
the many Bibles and prayer books Of
the society bound in bright red cloth,
instead of the hitherto inyariable
black, a color which is mostly associ-
ated with what is melancholy Bishop
Tugwell would no doubt appreciate the
brighter and more attractive colors for
his heather converts more especially.
One is reminded of this in connection
with the almost extinct black gown. to
which objection has been taken for tbs
same reason. the DOMINIC of which by
the parson before delivering his ser.
mon savored so much of the judges
putting on the black cap before pro
nouncing the death sentence, whereas
the gospel message is one Of peace
and life.-Pall Mall Gazette.

their very lives.
Co." Flanagan answered by
voice and vote. When you say
your work is unhealthful, | deny
it. When you say you are wear
ing out your lives like slaves, I
say that | care not. | cannot
and will not help you. Work.
Toll on. We can do nothing for
you"
The eight-hour law passed later
in spite of this stab aimed by
Flanagan at labor. Hon. James
G. Sweeney, then attorney gem
eral, advocated the cause of the
people when men of the Flani-
gan stripe sought to have the
law declared unconstitutional.
Justice Talbot sustained the law,
and the language of his opinion
was adopted as final by the su-
preme court of the United States.
Justice Talbot said the law was
a good law; that the health of
the miners was a proper thing
for state senators to protect. The
court said in effect that Senator
Flanagan was recreant to his
trust and to his duty.
Flanagan now comes before

Eighteen More DAYS.

II is once more in order to warn the
would-be Christmas shopper to emulate
the early bird. The sun will rise on only
eighteen more business days before the
great day itself comes. Every one of
these eighteen days is an opportunity, its
value lessening as Christmas approaches.
The buyer who goes to one Of the stores
today. intent upon completing a list of
purchases, will be better suited than the
one who goes tomorrow. This might be
styled the law of diminishing satisfac-
ticn, and its execution Is undiscriminat-
ing. 1t falls upon the rich and the poor
alike. 1t gives the best goods to the en-
terprising, the best service, the least
worry and the greatest joy of giving. In
cidentaily it bestows upon the shopper.
in proportion to his enterprise and
is the true inspiration of the Christmas
season after all. The early shopper. with
AL the necessary errands run. all the
gifts bought, can now observe with a
sense of superiority the effect of tardi-
ness upon the weary men and women be-
hind the counters. With the passage of
eacn day from now on to Christmas the re-
sponsibility of the belated shopper for the
strain and crush and distress of the last
hours increases. II stocks were exhaust
less, II stores were elastic, If clerks were
superhuman in their patience and tact
and endurance. there would be no occa-
sion to admonish shoppers TO De prompt
Conditions being as they are 1t is neces.
sary TO continue 10 call attention to the
Night of the precious days. There are
only eighteen now remaining.

matter as that the full time of the session
may be given to the making and the
amending of laws.
In some of the contests under the old
system both bribery and delay figured.
Everything revolved around the sena-
torship Legislators divided up into
groups. and all business suffered. Things
of prime Importance had to be postponed
until after the senatorial fight was ended.
Men could not be brought to consider
anything else for the time The state
capital was crowded with all sorts of
loose political FISH, and all combinations
had the senatorship for the center.
Such actors in affairs often found it to
their profit to protract the struggle. While
to divide the swag. Being expert manip-
ulators, they did not find it difficult to tie
up body of men many of whom We're
inexperienced in politics. And so day
followed day. with nothing to show for
the time but ineffective balloting for SEN
ator. Little business could be transacted;
and the atmosphere constantly thickened
with tales of schemes and scandals
The direct primary was designed to
cure and does cure, this. 4 legislature
it meets and at two sittings disposes of
a senatorial election. and then proceeds
to the business of making laws. No de-
lays. no scandals. Not once in hundred
times may we expect such conduct as that
which took place in Kentucky last winter
when instructions for Gov. Beckham were
disregarded and leader of the opposi-
ton party was elected senator far
ADLER man than Gov. Beckham, and one
In every way qualified for the office was
chosen, but this fact did not excuse the
three or four democrats who violated
their instructions.
Elsewhere. as in Kentucky. men worthy
to sit in state legislatures will obey in
structions on this subject. Men aspiring
to the Senate should submit their claims
to the people. who are just as competent
TO pass upon claims to that office as upon
claims TO seats in a state legislature

For Holiday Shoppers.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Not only is it important to shop early,
as the public is daily reminded during
these weeks preceding Christmas; it is
equally desirable that one shops good
naturally. Not only should people pur-
chase as many of their gifts as possible
now, but they should carry with them into
the stores their native courtesy. No mat
ter how well distributed the public patron
age may be through the days between now
and the hour for the closing of the last
shop on the night before Christmas. there
are certain to be crowds in the large
stores crowds in the street cars and
crowds on the sidewalks and in the eleva-
tors. The clerks behind the counters
must deal with the public in it's most petu-
liant mood, and lucky indeed may they
consider themselves if they are not round
ly denounced times out of number by
those whom they serve.

The Primary and the Senate

The New York Tribune, In some OBJ
servations about the manner of electing
United States senators, says:
The direct primary system OF choos-
ing United States senators will not stand
or fall upon the freakish development in
oregon. but upon its own merits. What
iney will turn out to De IL is too soon
yet to judge. 1t was ADOPTED in recog-
milton of the weakness in the legislative
system Of election which made possible
Ao0icks' scanoalous attempt to buy his
way into the Senate, and which in various
states resulted In a choice of senators
which caused widespread criticism 1t was
felt that the men whose presence in the
Senate was the subject Of criticism could
not have been elected IL the voters of
their party in general had had the NAM
ing OF their representatives in Washing
ton.
Undoubtedly the new system will cure
that evil. The worst men cannot become
senators under II. Can the best? That
10 question to which an answer is
anxiously awaited"
This leaves out Of the account one OF
the most important points Of the direct
primary system. The object of the sys-

legislature in the election of a senator.
