UPHOLDS THE BOYCOTT.
Right to Withdraw Patronage Cannot
Be Enjoined, Says Mitchell.

Right to Withdraw Patronage Cannot
Be Enjoined, Says Mitchell.
THE fight must continue to uphold
the boycott" said John Mitchell In
recent interview in New York. Not
because the laboring men have any
particular love for the boycott" he
added Indeed. they have no more
love for the boycott than for the strike.
Both are extreme measures of defense
forced upon the wage earners by un-
just conditions. The workers fully
realize that the boycott and the strike
are means to be used to maintain their
rights and promote their welfare when
seriously threatened by hostile, greedy
and unfair employers when no other
remedy seems available. 1t Is not the
strike or the boycott itself which mat
ters so much as the recognition of the
lawful right to employ either or both
when necessary.
with the boycott cleared of wrong
full charges and misapprehension and
recognized as lawful right we will
find its use diminishing. 1t will be a
power held in reserve and used only
when no other remedy is adequate.
Even If we had been guilty Of I'M
lawful conspiracy and coercion and in
timidation-which we were nOt-sure-
ly there should be some more adequate
punishment than by a process Of In
junction. In fact, existing laws do not
provide greater punishment for these
offenses, and ] submit that If we are
guilty Of them we should be tried by
due process Of law before jury of
our peers and. If found guilty. punish
ed as the law provides rather than be
subjected to the caprice Of judge
who solely determines the sufficiency
of the charges, the guilt Of the defend
ant and who imposes punishment as
his within may prompt"
Reverting to the boycott as means

the church and organized labor are

II am glad to say that the breach

of remedying wrongs. MIR. Mitchell
said: I'VE have always held. and we
still hold. that laborers or other citi-
zens have the right to withhold or to
bestow their patronage as they choose;
that they have the right to advise
friends and sympathizers of this ac-
ton and Of the reasons therefor. 1t Is
hardly necessary to state that in the
case Of the workers the unfair attitude
Of the dealer in question has always
been the reason for the withdra wal Of
patronage.
ut has been made clear that he re-
fused to pay the standard rate OF
wages and to agree to other equitable
conditions which the workers seek
through organizations, and hence the
withdrawal of patronage. The boy
colts declared by other citizens have
sometimes been placed for other rea-
sons, and they can safely be left to
defense of their own actions.
1.-The boycott is by no means weap-
on used by workers alone. 1t is one
of those inalienable rights which are
at times used by all people. The right
to withhold or withdraw patronage Is
one of those things which can neither
be enjoined. forbidden nor punished.
Upon us. however. the attempt has
been made by the courts to have the
boycott declared unlawful and con-
spiracy and hence subject to judicial
decree and punishment

The recent visit to Springdale of A. W. Mieir of Van Buren serves to recall the fact that a number of Springdale young men have made good in the drug business, having first started at this place. Among the number are w. G. Ownbey, who is now the proprietor of one of Spring dale's drug stores, ]. T. Nelson and Shore Searcy. owners of the other drug store here, A. W. Mieir, who owns a drug store at Van Ruren and who not only has built up good business but en- joys the confidence of the busi- ness community there. Then at Bentonville we have Will HaX- ton and Martin Brown. both of whom own drug stores and are doing nicely. Al Southwest City, Mo, is Roy Wilson, who is in business for himself, and Sidney Ninson has responsible position with drug firm at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. CHS Daily,@who graduated this year from q school of pharmacy in St. Louls, now has position in the Frisco hos pital in that city. There may be others whose names we do not recall at the present moment, but this shows that the Springdale young men who have adopted the drug business are proving sue cessful in their calling.

 HEALING BY PRAYER.
Eureka Springs Woman Is Re.

Eureka Springs, July lo.-A remarkable case of healing by prayer has been manifested this week in the sudden and complete recovery of Mrs. G. W. Smelser from critical illness.
 For six weeks Mrs. Smelser has been very sick. and during the past few days It was thought she would die.
 Finally, after all human means had failed to bring relief, Mrs. Smelser, WOO iS a deyout Christ ian, asked that all her friends would join on Tuesday as special day of prayer. Distant friends as we'll as her Eureka Springs friends were communi- cated with. Wednesday morning Mrs. Smelser was up restored to health and yesterday for the first time since last March she took solid food.
 This is the second experience of this kind i'll the Smelser fam- ily. Eighteen years ago daughter was restored to health through faith and prayer.
 The Smelser family are old residents here, and are highly thought of, and the sudden res toration of Mrs. Smelser, who is woman past 70 years, is causing much comment.

Everything IS later than if has been since l came here. 1 have over three hundred bushels of corn now that l raised last year. l raised over a thousand bushels, lots of maize and kaftir, but won't raise any kaftir this year as it was too dry to plant it i'll time to make. thlnk this will be fine corn country. Hogs and chick ems do well here. l have put out a small orchard, but don't know how fruit and berries are going to do. We have only one black berry vine that has few berries on it. We are having pleasant weather out here now. It IS hot while at noon and then 1t gets cooler. The nights are pleasant. We celebrated the 4th on the Sd at the Cotton Woods spring, one mile and half west of Us. We have taken our dinner and eaten under those trees every Fourth of July since we came to New Mexi- co.

Hutchinson, Kansas. July 3.- Dear News: =Jus-one year ago today =was5in Junction City. Kansas, and as lonesome as q coantrY=dog in town. Today E am oneye nearer the grave and in the state of lonesomeness.
 Some way or other when our nation 's birthday rolls around l want to be with my own people aud take a yank at the eagles tail, where the people are of one accord and don't do anything in lukewarm and half hearted way like they do up here. Some small boys are shooting fre-crackers- now and then Old Glory decorates the front of some business house, but there IS no organized effort to perpetuate the honor and glory of the day. No fife and drum and march hing clubs to make your blood go rushing through your veins, to tighten your step, to embolden your feelings to recall the day when our forefathers twisted the tail of the proud British hon. No, these eondi- tions are all laid aside in the mad chase of the almighty dol lar, forgetting the fact that If II had not been for the aforesaid occasion We might be huddled up in little groups somewhere sing ing God Save the Queen that is, If we were allowed to sing at at.
 We, as nation, are prone 10 forget and instead of enjoying the hard-earned independence left heritage to us, we work the word overtime and disregard its significance.
 Do you ever think as the hearse goes bs
 That it wont be long till you and Will take a ride in the big plumed hack
 And never remember of coming back Do you ever think in your chase for gold
 \ dead man hand dollar wont hold You may work and scheme, strive and save
 And you lose Ii all when you go to the
 grave
 My wife and son went to Colo rado last night and l am ma rooned. guess that is what you call 1t here in the land of snnhowers, sunshine, golden wheat fields and grouchy people. am going right now and get He tall glass of pink lemon ade' some red fre-erackers, 20 out Ill the back yard and whoop her up for fair. l may shoot off the three joints of my left fore finger, but l would rather do that than to think there was no spark of patriotism left in this old carcass of mine.
