DID you ever turn over an old stick or stone and reveal to the light scores of startled, scurrying, uncomfortable creeping things hid- den there? Turn over the stick of non partisan constitutional con- vention and you will find a bug under it What kind of a bug is it? There are some things that thrive in the dark and nothing is darker in political life than committees in in secret agreement. Look out for the bug under that chip.-Albu- querque Journal.

ONLY progressive men should be chosen to do the work of drafting the constitution of Arizona. This is the view of the citizens that have the best interests of Arizona at heart. The delegates should be men who are up with the progress of the age in constitution making. so that Arizona will have a modern instrument and not a mere replica of the constitutions of some special interest states, where the corpora tions control legislatures and buy senatorships.-Tucson Post.

THE OPEN SHOP
 A TAKING PHRASE

resisting a strike by union em- ployees, issued statement to the public in which it said:
 ''We shall insist upon an open shop and no member of any organ izatiop will he permitted to recog- nize the union."
 "The Open Shop" is a taking phrase. Many people are won by it. Come now, let us reason to gether and see what it really means.
 Equality is equity" There can be no equality where weakness struggles against strength-where the unorganized individual meets organization. Take the Lake Car riers association as a typical case. On the great lakes the independent carrier has almost disappeared. The United States Steel Corpora tion has 8 great fleet, owned by susidiary corporation and officered by high-salaried. brainy men. The big railroads have their fleets Each of those single fleets represents an organization.
 But these great organizations are not content with the enormous power thus secured. They organize the organizations and bring all to. gether in their Lake Carriers asso citation, so that the millions upon millions of money invested in the vessels on our great lakes and the great captains of industry in con trol thereof, act as a unit.
 The employee must work or his family will starve. Wealth can wait. But not content with their tremendous natural advantages, they insist on the individual single handed and alone, meeting organ ization at it's greatest efficiency.
 An "open" shop really means a "closed" shop. It is closed to or. ganisation CD the part of the em. ployees It is closed to collective bargaining. A man who tolls from morn to night and finds life an eter- nal struggle for the barest necessi- ties, cannot inform himself about the state of the labor market. The employer says: "The wages I pay are governed by the law of supply and demand" He pays big salaries to his managers to keep posted and turn to the profit account every change. The employees can do nothing on this account unless they organize. While thousands work, they may chip in g few cents a week and employ their Representative to gather data and properly present their case-if they are organized. That is their only chance. Without organization they are helpless. Li- berty is a mockery-equality and equity cannot exist.
 In a vast number of factories machines are better cared for than the men, women and children who run them. Why2 The machines cost money; not 50 with the em. ployees. If they are injured or be- come i'll it costs nothing but little effort to get some one else to fill the place.
 Without organization among em. ployees the tendency is to reduce all to the level of the meanest em- ployer. Competition compels many an employer 10 permit conditions which otherwise he would never tolerate. The slave driver among employers becomes the model which others must copy.
 Is there not need of organization among employees?
 The nation which fails to protect its interests becomes prey to ava ricious nations. China is an illus tration. Just so with la bor. With | out organization it is helpless. And as 1t deterioretes, all society deter.

A DIVORCE
MRS. WILLIAM HUNTLEY FILES
COMPlAiNT-SAYS HE is
WORTH A MILLION
DOLLARS.

The wife of the vice president of
the Exchange National bank, Mrs
Emma V. Huntley, filed com
plant for divorce in the superior
court this morning.
She alleges that her husband,
William Huntley, who is estimated
to be worth over 81 100000, has not
allowed her more tnan $3.50 and
sometimes as low as 500 a month
living expenses for the last two
years. She also AYERS that ne no
longer loves her and has become
tired of living with her.
The complaint goes further on to
state that on different occasions

medical aid She says she mar
ried her husband in Missouri in
1888. They came to Whitman
county, where her husband made
his fortune.
The wife asserts that Huntley is
vice president of the Exchange Ma
tional bank, an officer of the In
land Brewing company and presi-
dent of the Spokane Electric Sup
ply company. In addition to hav-
ing large sums of money on de-
posit in the bank where he is vice
president, he conducts business in
COlfaX, Wash, and st. Johns, Ore,

the memory of any of them. Rob-
ert +. Wilson, one of the staff of
the Scripps bureau, who is respon-
sible for the scoop. is being con-
graduated on all sides.
Wilson is one of the youngest
correspondents in Washington and
his entire experience at the capital
covers but a few weeks. He was
assigned to the Washington bu
reau to help OUT during the alb
sence of ellison Gardner, who is
touring Europe with Roosevelt.
That young Wilson, 20 years old,
with no Washington experience,
should have succeeded in scooping
the several hundred Washington
correspondents, among them the
ablest and most experienced news
paper men in the country, in an eX-
pose which has shaken official
Washington to its center, and
amazed the entire United States, is
without question one of the great
est journalistic feats from purely
news point of view in the history
of American journalism.

For weeks the attorneys for the
prosecution have been trying to
bring out this vital fact, but owing
to the evasion of all the witnesses
they failed. When the Scripps
newspapers came along with their
tremendous expose, Saturday, Off

was first stunned, then amazed.
Washington got the first news from
the United Press association. The
Kerby expose was published in
some five hundred papers Satur-
day, clients of the United Press.
Some of these papers gave the
Scripps newspapers credit for the
great scoop, but many of them
simply printed Kerby's statement
as having been made public, with
out reference to the Scripps papers.

BOND MONEY TURNED

Before anyone could dream of

usual vigorous manner, "a am not

the bonds. 1t shows that Pitts
turned the rebated portion of the

So great was the throng at West

estimated by the authorities that
100000 people had viewed the
