CASE OF SOUR GRAPHS.

The editor of the Dixon Mail
unable to longer restrain his vi
Imperative tendencies has uncOrk cd
his ananias vial ana turned his
wrath upon the city council desig
mating them as .round headS'
because they refused to be die
lated to by the political bosses
whom he follows around like a
french poodle. The members Of
the council will pay but little at
tention to the wailingS of the Mail,
as 1T has become such Il common
occurrence for it to Witty and mis-
represent everybody ard every
thing that does not suit the fam
tantir taste of the political sraitcrs
and wage slave promoters who
own and control it. that very few,
# any. tairminded people give the
editorial utteranccs Of that sub
sized sheet any consideration.
The ''buy' partisan bosses,
political gratterS and their public
nouthpleceS are diving hard, but
the people have decreed that it
should be 50, and so it will. For
once the people have outwitteu
and outgeneraled the political
pharasltes. and as Il result have
elected a majority of the council
that cannot be controlled or
coerced by the bosses. Before the
late city election the bosses slated
the members of the Board of At.
fairs they wanted elected and on
election day their dogs of war put
their entire time and attention
toward carrying out the program
paying no heed to the candidates,
tor council and here is where the
people stepped in and elected a
majority of the council while the
Bosses were bnsy debating who
should be elected to the higher
branch OF the city government.
me people nave spoken through
their representatives so let the
poor old Mail and the political
grafters rave and howl. but the
city Will &" on Just the same.
Let the good people all oct to-
gether and boost the city on to
greater things and in the mean
time let them keep up the good
work begun and tin can the pub
lie service and political bosses and
gambling fraternity and place the
people in control of the CITY

ORGANIZE THE WOMEN.

We are here today and gone
tomorrow and those who follow us
in our work will be affected by
our conduct here and now.
Whether our successors be our
children or the children OF, others
they will either reap the adyant-
ages of the better conditions we
obtained or will be obliged to
struggle against the increasing
hardships which we tolerated.
And every woman wage Garner
owes duty to poSterity that
her children and the children
OF her friends shall enjoy
better conditions in their day be-
cause OF her UnicniSm and her
labors for human welfare.
And the young woman who
works today, when she marries
should remember that life
has its vicissitudes Men
die, and sometimes leaves no
property. The wife of today may
be the widow of tomorrow and
obliged to support herself at her
former trade, in which case she
would be pleased to find conditions
better than when she left the fac
tory, due te the Unions she helped
to form and maintain.
And better yet, the young
women and men wage earners
looking forward to home life sup
ported by industry, each wishing
the most of the necessaries or
comforts of life that their wages
will buy-how essential it is for
happiness after marriage that the
gospel of unionism shall be en-
throned at the tireside. and that
the wage struggle Of the husband
and his trade union efforts have
the full sympathy and support
of the wife.
Surely every normal woman
wishes to be in the largest sense a
helper for better conditions not
only for herself and hers. but fol
all mankind and generations to
come, and because this is so and |
because of his own obligations it |
is the duty of every man to bestir
and use his utmost en-
de:lvor to induce all women wage
earners to join the unions.
We want the homes of wage
to be so full of Union |
that they will not allow
goods to enter therein.
so that the wages OF the union |

union wife may be wisely spent

GAMBLING IN BUSINESS.

business consists OF production
and exchange, while gambling con.
sIsts of hazarding something in
possession, on the chance of win
ming something in another's pos
session, without impalting any
thing in lieu thereof.
Normal business is to produce
economically and to exchange
e4nitably-whereby all parties are
bene ited.
In gambling there is no pretense
OF production, but only the capture
OF a pool by superior dexteritv at
the game.
In business, all participants are
presumably benefited in proportion
to their several equities That is,

The one process is wholly bene-

The two processes are morally
antithetical.
The fact that the element of
chance enters into both does not
make them identical, any more

iron makes it Identical with char
coal. Chance is a minor element
in normal business, and it's entire

 Plans and specifications for the cen tral electric power plant have been completed and 1t is hoped to have it installed some time during the com Ing spring. The first shaft to be electrically equipped will probably be the Gray.
 Owing to the low price of copper the Old Dominion Is not striving to make a large output Nevertheless, with four furnaces in blast. the pro duction for February should not fall far below 3.500.0OO pounds of blister copper.
 The Black Hawk Vein.
 The Arizona Commercial has been handicapped by the very heavy flow of water into the Eureka shaft. esti- mated at one thousand gallons per minute. which drowned the pumps. A station pump of 750.000 gallons capac- fly has been received and two Cam cron sinkers borrowed from the old Dominion; also a large marine boiler. and as soon as these can be installed the shaft will be unwatered and the work of opening a level al 7l0 feet resumed. Developments at the ITO foot station were of an extremely favorable character. high grade ore having been encountered. when the thrush of water flooded the station and shaft. At the old Black Hawk workings a winze Is being sunk from the 55o-foot level in good looking iron carrying some copper. It can be sunk about forty feet before water win in- terfeTs with the work. and as soon as pumping is resumed at the Eureka shaft the vein will be drained to the 700 level which will permit both the Arizona Commercial and Superior and Boston to continue sinking winzes be- low the present water level. While the unexpected flooding Of the Eure- ka shaft will delay the opening of new levels. the development of extensive ore bodies below the 550-foot level is now practically certain.
 The Superior and Boston is making good headway in the development Of its fine property and Is making regu- lar shipments of 50 tons of ore daily. The winze from the 550-foot level had reached a depth of 39 feet when sink ing had to be discontinued on account of water This winze is In high grade ore it's entire depth. which would seem 10 indicate that the zone of secon- diary enrichment continues to a con siderable depth and that deep deyel- opment will add immensely to the value of the Great Eastern mine.
