Not Delayed by Leads.
South of where Marvin had turned
back we came to where his party had
built several igloos while della yed by
open leads. Still further south we
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp.
Fortunately movement OF these
leads was simply open and shut. and Il
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain. Marvin. and as I
found later. Borup. had been delayed
by open leads, we seemed to bear n
charm and with no single lead were we
delayed more than q couple Of hours,
Sometimes the Ice was fast and firm
enough to carry us across. sometimes
a short detour. sometimes y brief halt
for the lead to close. sometimes an i'm
provised ferry on an Ice cake. kept the
trail without dificulty down to the
tenth outward march.

1t is announced that Gov. Glass
cock will not call an extra session Of
the legislature, unless such action Is
absolutely necessary. While there
are several measures the executive

GOES INTO EFFECT
NEW Law PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE
BEGINS JULY /.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to taking out state
licenses for operating and conducting
cigar and tobacco stands, real estate
agencies, hotels and boarding houses
keeping transient trade, auctioneers.
Under the old law licenses for the
above purposes could be taken out
May 1, or any time after and pay the
necessary license fee the last of the
year.
By the new law passed by the leg
islature all this is schanged, the license
must be taken out July ! and the
fee must be paid in advance, the law
requiring all fees of the Office of
county clerk to be collected in ad-
vance. 1t has been the custom of
many not to take out the necessary
license, especially is this SO with the
prOpHetors of boarding houses having
transient. trade, and to avoid trouble
all parties concerned should make
application to the county clerk fol
the necessary papers before July lst.

ECLIPSE OF sun
ON THURSDAY WILL Be PARTIAL
THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY.

A total eclipse of the sun will oc-
cur Thursday, visible in nearly all
parts of the United States and cana-

type of solar eclipse which begins
as annular, becomes total and changez
to annular again. The central path
of the eclipse lies wholly in the far
north, and it will be visible only as =
partial eclipse throughout the greater
extent of North America.

We WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

When you hear anything that's
newsy, let US know. We want to let
Others know. A newspaper is a sure
gossiper when it gets hold Ofsome-
thing good to talk about. We don't
know everything, and sometimes
don't know halfas much as We would
like to know, but would like to know
few things occasionly, SO We could
let the public know that We know 1t.
If you know what your neighbo
knows, don't let any one else know
that you know it until you let =
know, and The Register viii promise
to not let any one else know that~e
know the fellow who let US know
by this means it will be real news
when seen in the newspaper.

WORSE THAN A BATTLE.

Fourth of July celebrations are
worse than battle in our interna-
tional war. There is no sense or
reason in them, no argument in their
defence. There is necessarily no re-
lation between noise and patriotism.
There is no apology for annoying the
sick and the nervous by an Internal
racket which can easily be avoided.
The children and the grownups can
have Just as good a time celebrating
the Fourth in more sensible way.

SACRIFICE OF YOUNG GIRLS.

In a PlttSDurg foundry girls are en-
ployed to make simple cores for cast
ings. A quick girl can make 10000

cording to the Investigator who re-
ported to Charities on "Pittsbure
Women in the Metal Trades" this
work is carried on in clouds Of drift
ing dust. AS the cores are finished
they are set on trays, which the
women carry across the room to the
ovens. A loaded tray weighs from ten
to twenty-five pounds. In an electri-
cal actory in East .Pittsburg $50 wo-
men are employed on piecework in
winding coils for armatures. The fast
est make $1.47 day. The work is
SO taxing that the employees give out
readily. Only Is nave been in the fac

AN MPERSONAL FOE.

The enemy of labor is not of
flesh and blood. It might easily
be dealt with if it were. The
throned tyrant can be bombshelled
out of existence; the whip can be
wrested from the hands Of the
SLAYER, and the lash laid upon his
own back. But Labor's enemy is
more subtle, more difficult, more
dangerous. 1t is an Evil Principle
a System of Wrong, with it's roots
centuries deep in the soil, and its
tendrils twined round some ct the
most hallowed institutions Of hui
mainly. In dealing with such foe
all the highest powers OF the heart
and intellect have to be called
into service. There is no sword 50
keen as just cause; there is no
artillery SO deadly as knowledge;
no panoplied- power can Withstand
the revolutionary force of fratern.
alism. Worker.

A CLEAR DISTINCTION.

When judges administer the law,
their DEGREES, though manifestly err
roneous, should be respectfully
obeyed. This is necessary TO good
order.
But if judges usurp authority,
their lawless edicts should be ig-
nored. This is necessary to the
preservation of liberty.
For that reason Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison
Executive officers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and editors
of "The American Federationist' -
are worthy of all commentator for
having ignored a judges injunc-
ton which assumed to control their
public utterances.
They stand in this respect, not as
labor leaders merely, but as editors
and American citizens jealous of
their fundamental rights OF editor
ship and citizenship.
BY ignoring an injunction de-
structive of their constitutional right
to print and publish upon respon-
sibility only for abuse of the right,
and solely to a jury, they have
been vindicating constitutional guar
antees of the first Importance.

stead of an executive whom they
have thereby disobeyed, makes no
difference.
Judges may be tyrants, too; and
it is as true of them when they
usurp power, as it is of every other
kind of tyrant, that disobedience
to a tyrant is obedience to the law
No man or set.of men has a more
wholesome contempt for any law
that cannot be made to serve their
purpose or which stands in the way
OF some grasping aim Of their own
than do the moneyed class of this
country.
They seek to and do make the
law the vehicle of their aims, bu,
when labor attempts any Legitimate
contesting of their efforts they i'm
mediately resort to the same court:
and as inevitably secure the redress
they seek.
It is a discouraging condition, bu,
no other alternative is offered thar
that organized labor must fight i

WHO OWNS COMPANY?

Who does own the STANDARD Oil
Company? John D. says he didn't
organize it and that it is not his
personal property. Isn't it rather
dangerous to allow a big thing like
that to wander around loose with
out an owner? For fear someone
may think we are throwing dust In
their eyes, we will say that the
Labor World must also 1isclain
owning it.. Surely it must nave an

LTBERTY'S ONLY DEFENDER.

There is nowhere any force or in
fluence, outside of the working class
itself, that can free the workers
from the creeping dark of abso-
lutte Industrial servitude. There is
now no class in America except the
working class that is interested in
preserving the liberties of thu peo-
pie. Who is it that dares to con-
front the meat trust except the
men who butcher it's beef and drive
its wagons? Who dares to face the
mining and the smelter trusts Of
the West save the men with pick
and shovel? And in the great an
thracite coal strike of two years
ago, when. it was clearly proved that
the railroad mine owners were
breaking every law on the statute
books, who dared to protest except
the miners themselves? The great
non-partisau public we hear so
much about; the great American
public which is the stalking horse
of the capitalist newspapers, paid
through the nose for coal at eigh-
teen and twenty dollars a ton, when
If it had possessed any manhood
