of his plays produced in quick succession.

right out and call his second great play,
"The Wolf, a melodrama That is Just
what It is. and so are many of the great

LABOR UNIONS.

IL the members of the labor unions
throughout the land would pattern more
after the Silver City union and take an
active interest in the work of the order,
seeing that none but level headed. com
petent men we're elected to office there
would be less strife aud the members
would receive more benefit from the
organization. The Silver City union
has accomplished much for the cause
of labor. The right of the wage Garner
or producer to organize for their pro-
lection is admitted by all fair minded
people; and it is only when goaded to
desperation by insult heaped upon in
jury that the laborer has done that he
should not have done. There are some
who, as recent history has shown, will
join such organizations and hetray. their
brothers for less than Judas received
for the betrayal of Jesus. Such char
acters are the ones who are for violence
and strife, and are frequently found to
be in the employ of the foes of labor
unions The member who buys only
union made goods upholds the princi
pies of the order. Now get together
and cast your votes for candidates who
represent your principles. The labor
element has chance to make record
this year if they will unite and vote for
the party that is fighting for their
rights.

POLITICAL REFORMS.

In the history Of the human race we
read of men who, from the earliest times
of which We have any record. have adj
vocated certain principles that they be-
lieved would benefit humanity. Almost
without an exception those reformers
we're scoffed at and prosecuted, many
of whom became martyrs to the cause
for which they willingly gave their lives.
If the causes for which they we're striv-
ing were right and just, they eventually
were adopted by the people, although
it may not have been under the same
name or by the party that they were
first proposed, yet the principle involv-
ed was the same. Take, for instance,
The political platform adopted by the
populist party at Omaha in 1896 It
advocated certain reform measures and
set forth demands that were scoffed at
by the leaders of both the republican
and democratic parties, who did not
only condemn it but said that its de-
mands were utterly impractical, vision
airy, the dreams of disordered minds,
ETC., but note the result.
The popularity of the Omaha plat
form with the masses opened the eyes
of the leaders OF the two old parties, and
the result has been that it was race
between the republican and democrat
ic parties to see which one could steal
the most of the planks of the populist
platform, until there is hardly single
principle that was advocated by the
Omaha convention that has not been
incorporated III either the republican
or democratic platforms.
The democrats succeeded in purloin-
ing more of these populistic principles
than the republicans. who made very
poor showing, until Teddy became sit"
since which time he has not waited for
his party to steal populistic or demo
cratic thunder, but "took the bull by
the horns" and swiped all popular re
form measures upon which he could get
his hands regardless of their party
brand. The masses of the people were
delighted" to see this and Roosevelt
became very popular with them, but
not with the party bosses, so that it
took very careful engineering by those
in control of the republican party to
Fix things so that the masses of the re-

The records show that Ruef him
self has put mp 100000 and he or
his close friends have insured the
bond given by the surety company.
While the law requires two sure
ties on each bond, which compelled
the CRATER to produce $1,500,000, yet
the default would amount to just
half that amount.
And Ruef's own signature as sure
