The other day in public meeting three
trades nionists bitterly denounced trade
unions.
One of the speakers was a preacher,
another a lawyer and the third a physi-
clan.
They said trade unions were trusts
which violated the precious liberty of
man to do what work he pleased
1t was rather astonishing to hear
such sentiments expressed by men who
have won for themselves the closed

TRADES UNION CHARACTERS.
The Labor Editor.
(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)

(By the Rev Charles Stelzle,)
He is man of our flesh and our
blood. Not being a goat he cannot live
on the papers that he doesn't sell, and
ink cannot make him think when it is
spread on his bread. 1t would seem to
be hardly necessary to remind ourselves
of this very human fact, We're it not
that most of us have idealized the editor
to such a degree that we imagine him
a sort of an ethereal creature whose liv-
ing among us is a dispensation of divine
providence. but for whose existence we
are not at all responsible. And as with
all of Gods gifts we have become so ac-
customed to their beneficience and their
comfort that we rather take them for
granted. We become conscious of their
existence only when they are removed
from us, or when there seems to be an
occasion for raising mighty howl.
When the paper comes with regular
ity, when our names appear in connec-
tion with current events when we agree
with the editorials, when there is no
demand for the subscription price-then
all is well. But ii the postman misses
out on delivery, and if our names are
mis- spelt, and if the editorials indicate
some original thinking which shocks our
conservative feelings and if the business
end of the paper is pressed home upon
us-thon, "Oh cut it out :" comes the
disgruntled verdict toward an institu-
tion which has served us faithfully year
after year, and without which the labor
movement could scarcely exist.
To the labor editor we owe debt OF
gratitude which a dollar or two a year
cannot possibly repay. He fights our bat
ties. He expresses the aspirations of
the toiler as the toiler himself cannot
express it. He is indeed the voice of the
people, who wander in the wilderness.
For all this and much more, those OF
us who believe in his job should stand
by him He cannot always do it single
handed. Sometimes the pressure become:
too great for mortal man TO endure
There's limit to human strength, nc
matter how full OF purpose and power
Therefore when the editor does well
tell him about it, and do it right away
When he asks for his days wage be
cause he has served you, pay it to him
You'd boycott the fellow who treate'
YOU as you do the editor in this respect
In a word--do the editor as though yol
were the editor.

TAKES TOLL OF HUMAN LIVES
Venturesome Explorers of Grand Can
yon of the Colorado in Con-
slant Danger.

Every year the river and the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado take their toll
in human life" recently said Freder-
lex S. Dellenbaugh, the artist-scholar,
who has painted pictures and written
books about that wonderful river that
rushes for hundreds of miles through
gorges hundreds of feet deep.
when | was with Major Powell on
his exploring expedition through the
Grand canyon 40 years ago we lost
several men, and the few other eXpe-
ditions that have followed ours since
then all have had to pay the river the
price in the same way" he continued.
"Powell's party was the first journey
white men ever made down through
that perilous portion of the Colorado
river, and almost every day of the
many months it took us was full of
danger. Every year some lives are
lost there. Two years ago skeleton
of a man was discovered in Marble
canyon lying on rocky shelf little
above the whirling waters of the
river. A newspaper dated in 1900 was
in the pocket Of his coat, so that it
was likely the man persisted eight
years ago at least. Whether he was
killed while trying to scale the insur-
mountable walls or whether he died
of starvation no one knows.
THAT part of the Colorado river
never gives up its dead. Those who
fall into the waters clutches literally
are dashed to pieces, and no trace of
them ever is found.
THE Whirlpool rapids of the Nj
agara river below the falls are terri
BILE to contemplate, but it can BE said
without exaggeration that the Mag
ara rapids are peaceful waters COM
pared to some of the long stretches
of foam on the Colorado. The whirl-
pools of the Colorado are Of the true
type-the water swirls round and
round and there is a broad, hollow,
funnel-shaped hole in the center of
| them through which one might peer
down a good many feet if he could
| hover over it.
Not all the canyons toll, however,
| is collected by the river No one
| knows what Unreasonable mineral
| wealth is hidden in the canyon walls,
| and every year venturesome prospect
| ors go into those gloomy depths seek
| ing the treasures that they guard.
| These men, through some sudden rise
| of water or for Some other reason,
frequently lose their lives in trying
to escape from the canyon. Most of
| them, | fancy, go mad with hunger
| and die in trying to scale the preci-
pieces 1t is the most awsome place
| In the world-down there where the
| river flows, where it never is fully
| daylight except for few brief min
| utes at midday.

The Evolution of Clothes,

The appearance of civilized man, his

breast with curiosity, envy and fear.

and rolls of superfluous cloth we carry

when the long tails were Topped up to

GRAND RAPIDS VS.. NEK0OSA

Bills are being printed announcing
a game of base ball to be played in
this city Sunday afternoon, June 6,
between the teams of Nekoosa and
Grand Rapids. This game will be
especially an interesting one from
the fact that Nekoosa has an ex-
cellent team that were successful in
defeating Merrill recently, and our
local team has been strengthening
up with the hope of defeating them.
If our readers want to see a good
game of base ball, this will be
their opportunity.
