EDITOR VISITS LOUISVILLE MINERS

On Monday night l visited the coal
miners of Louisville, and was very much
impressed with their organization. They
are showing a spirit of progress. Their
union now numbers over 700 and is still
on the increase.
My object in visiting with them was
for the purpose of telling them about our
union paper. and am quite confident
that they will all soon be subscribers to
the same.
Their annual election takes place on
the 14th of this month and seems to be
quite spirited. President Lewis has
very strong opponent in William Green,
president of District No. of Ohio. and
his supporters are leaving no stone un-
turned to elect him. while on the other
hand Lewis supporters claim a clean
victory for him. 1t appears from reports
that Green has strong following in the
East. and that in itself may prove to be
the defeat of Lewis. AT any rate. if the
miners of the East work as hard for
their organization as they do in the West
there should not be mine but what
would have all of the conditions in fine
shape, SO far as hours and wages are
concerned. Still there is plenty of room
for improvement at home
The miners of Louisville are to be con-
graduated on their new home, which
they have recently built. They have
hall which will seat about 500 people. all
paid for and a place that they can have
at any time they see fit to use the same.
If the Denver unions would show the
same spirit that the miners have. we
could soon be able to meet in our own
building and not have to be paying rent
for some other place.
At their meeting they transacted
great deal of important business. They
showed their true unionism by their
prompt assistance to the appeal for aid
from the Cherry miners widows and or
phans. They levied an assessment of
25 cents on each of their members, the
same to be sent to the ones who are in
need of help. caused by the loss of the
heads of the families.
Such a way of doing things shows that
the union is the only fall-back that the
workers have got. and with that full
knowledge. We can not understand why
men insist on staying on the outside OF
the ranks. The greatest good for all of
the working classes has been secured
through the efforts of the organized men.
and there is no case on record that has
been obtained through any othe- source
Were we to get united all over the coun-
try. in all branches of business. it would
be only short time until all of the toll
ers would be enjoying the best of all
conditions and our legislatures would
have to do our bidding at all times. and
we would not have to beg them on
bended knees to pass laws that are for
the protection of life and limb.
We will try and have an article from
the miners each week and expect to keep
our readers posted as to the conditions
in the mining district as well as the
other crafts.

An Obliging President.

During a short lived revolution, says Harper's Weekly. there came to be the head of the government in little Central American republic a man who was above all things courteous and who was, moreover. very anxious tc gain the good will of the foreign con. suls. One of the latter. having heard that certain countryman of his had died, addressed q note to the head Of the new government, in which he stat ed that his own government would be grateful for a certificate of death Of the individual in question. few days later the consul received this communications:
 Esteemed Senor-I blush to say that cannot at present comply with your ef cellency's request for death certihcate of the man named. I sent my soldiers but he got away to my shame. shai' use every effort to catch him. however. and hope to send your excellency the de sired certificate at an early date.
 Needless to say, the consul lost nc time in communicating to the obliglns president the information that the cer- tificate was undesired. in view Of the fact that the individual was able 10 "get away"

A Girls Preparedness.

There is something very pitiful about a girl. She wears calico, but talks knowingly about the latest styles in silks. Her home is furnished plainly. but she knows the latest styles in furniture; she knows how the silver ware should be arranged at dinners. the latest stitch for the marking of monographs on the finest table dam- ask, the etiquette to be observed at dinner, a reception or ball. although she never attended anything more than d neighborhood party in her life. Her fathers monthly income is not as large as the pin money rich girl would spend in a day. but she knows what the rich girl should wear and buy to be in touch with the times. She is, in short. prepared at any time to marry rich man and become a SO ciety leader. r.-Atchison Globe.

How Standing Armies Originated.

The earliest European standing army was that of Macedonia, established about 35S B. c. by Philip. father of Alexander the Great It was the sec ond in the worlds history. having been preceded only by that of Sesotris Pha- raoh of Egypt, who organized mili- tary caste about 1900 B. c. Of mod ern standing armies, that formed by the Turkish janizaries was first. being fully organized in 1862. It was a cen tury later that the standing army of France. the earliest in western Europe, was established by Charles VII. in the shape of "compagnies d'ordonnance, !" numbering 5000 men. Rivalry there upon compelled the nations to adopt similar means of defense. In Eng land standing army proper was first established by Cromwell, but was dis banded under Charles H.. with the ex- ception of a few regiments called the guards. or household brigade. This was the nucleus of England's present army.
