HEIGHT OF FooLIsHNEss.

ut is surely the height Of foolish
ness for the community to allow
handful OF private persons to own
these mines. upon the products OF
which the whole complicated system
Of society rests.
Here Is the industrial existence OF
half Australia menaced by the impos-
sibility OF getting the coal that driveS
the machinery of production and trans
port, and all that people can think to
say Is, The men have no right to
paralyze industry like this
The men, Good Lord Have the
men no right TO object to be trampled
upon? Have they no right 10 protest
against conditions OF slavery?
"Thoy go down into the pits which
arc like the mouth of hell. and at risk
OF lives and limbs dig out the wonder
full mineral that is the basis of civilian
ton. Have they no right TO insist that
they shall not be asked 10 debase
their manhood in performing this
great and heroic service for society?
Have they, who do so much for us. no
right to expect that VIC viii help them
to secure living wage and decent
treatment in return?
''Tf we are mad enough to permit
this indispensable product to be owned
by few persons who do absolutely
nothing towards winning 1t from the
subterranean caverns, and raising 1T to
the surface. Is that any reason why
the men who do all the work should
consent to be dealt with like dogs for
doing it?'
That Is the question. Chew upon 1t,
ye frothy spokesmen of the great
neutral public New York People.

The Growth

Ideas, magnificence and display

homespun garments OF Colonial Days
until our Ideas and business are coy

Display in business seems to be the
main feature and aim for attaining
success. A few years ago merchants
were happy and contented selling
goods without elaborate show cases
and expensive windows, but the de-
mands OF our day and time have
changed all that The cost OF cloth.

OF commercial illumination has be-
come a big item In our operating ex-
pense.
The rates for electricity have re-
NAMED the same, but the demand for
it and the amount used has increased
over 200 per cent In the last few
years
The new electric lamp, known as
the Tungsten. has proved to be edu-
cational and an object lesson besides
The promises Of reduction In current
for this lamp have not proved true in

CHILD LABOR.

The children in the poor house

But the poor house does not profit

The children in the orghanase
Wear ralment far from fine,
But no orghanage Is financed

On little children's hire.
Only the human father.

"THE GREAT NEUTRAL PUBLIC"
They'd Better Think a Bit, and Not
Make Such Fools OF Themselves
When There's a Strike.

In view OF the loud hue and cry
which Is now being raised over the
great neutral public" which will have
to suffer If the railroad men strike
upon the rejection of their demands on
the 20th of this month. the following
lines from an exchange. apropos OF
an exactly similar situation, makes
interesting reading.
For our part we arc always assured
beforehand that when men go on
strike they are abundantly justified.
We don't require TO be told the cir
cumstnnces The evidence pro and
con Is quite unnecessary.
1t is within the range of posslbil~
ity that strike may be unjustiilables
but 40 very rarely can this be so
that the contingency need not be TAX

Workers don't throw themselves
out OF employment for the fun Of the
thing. They take no pleasure in the
infliction Of privation and pain on
their families.
Work Is to them the condition pre-

ANTY DRUDGE.
Wash day used to mean long days

Wash day used to mean long days
drudgery with hot fires and steam and nasty
smells. Fels-Naptha has changed all that.
FN5-Naptha has made wash day as pleasant
as any other day, because Fels-Naptha has
made washing easy.
More than million women are wash
ing clothes with Fels-Naptha in cold OF
lukewarm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing. Washday has no terrors for them.
And the drudgery of household cleaning is
lightened, too, by Fels-Naptha. 1t whitens
floors, brightens paints, brings out the col
ors in linoleum, takes dirt off vanished
surfaces without dulling the varnish, re-
moves grease spots and stains in carpets,
rugs and upholstery.
Be sure to follow directions on the

ly and the Syndicators were looking to
Kidd to fatten their purses, this COM
mission might be taken by him in a
rather broad light. especially in view
of the way things were done on the
sea in those days.
Apparently Capt Kidd tried to be a
real good pirate chaser for year or
so. but the fates were against him. He
got into the Indian ocean and he
searched honestly and faithfully for
pirates, but no pirates could he find.
There were plenty of pirates in those
waters, but luck was against him.
Meanwhile he was having troubles OF
his own. That gallant band of rogues
he had shipped in little old New York
had various things to say to him.

them. No prize no pay. was the con-

idle for year. Not only that. but the
captain had another nightmare Not
a penny was he earning for his royal
partner, or for the duke, or the chan
ccllor. or my lord Bellomont or good
Mr. Livingston. To remain idle in the
Indian Ocean meant mutiny. To go
home empty handed meant disgrace
and ruin. What was Mr.. Kidd to do?

New YOrk-ArizOna Company.

James Wester, general manager of
the New York-Arizona company,
spent Thursday last in Clifton on a
business visit. While here he called
at the ERA office AMI took the time
to report something about the COM
pany. Development work is still 60
ing on, but at this date Mr.. Wester
is not employing as many men as he
would like to. Since the copper
slump this company has managed to
maintain its development force,
though at times it was small. How
ever, since the slump the company
has developed a considerable amount
of new ground, in tunnel, upraise and
shaft work, all of which counted for
something in showing up good ore.
As has been said many times before
the New York-Arizona has done as
much, if not more, with the capital
it has expended than any other COM
pany operating in the district. The
management has been most con-
sentative and has always protected
the interests of the company, al
though upon numerous occasions some
people have attempted to knock.

Ell Paso Herald BOmbards Again.

Residents of Clifton and Morenci
who read the Ell Paso papers know
that the Times has been cornering
the Herald on its unreliable or manu-
featured news. Our people also re-
me mber the send-off which the
Herald gave the Clifton ball team
upon one occasion last season and it
was necessary for our people to raise
up in arms to even get pleasant
| lock. That occurrence had been for
gotten, but last week this same paper
renewed its fight when it attempted
to knock one of the mining companies
OF this district. In the article re-
ferred>to the Herald made the state
ment that this company had aban-
doned mining and gone into the
chicken business: and to add insult TO
injury the article was headed in bold
type. An editor who will pass and
print such dope certainly does not
deserve the confidence of his readers,
anu IuC Ina LudI luC
has that yellow sheet sized up about
right. The Herald has; at times. ap-
peared to be friendly with this dis
trict, but those occasions have always
been at times when its subscription
agent was ready to make" the camp
and 'get the money"
The editor of the Herald certainly
knew that the chicken story was a
mistake and should not have printed
such dope without investigation if he
considered that the veracity of his
paper had any standing. The ERA
wonders if that is the way the Herald
wants to help the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict and induce our people to become
more closely associated with Ell Paso
In business way.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-02-24

THE ERA considers that the
Guardian acknowledges that the Coro-
nado stage line is guilty Of imposing
a hardship on the farmers by over
charging them, when it becomes ne
cessary for the editor of that paper
to resurrect the tailings question in
defense of the stage line. 1t is sug-
gested that the raise was made on
account of the farmers carrying pas
sengers over the road cheaper than
the stage line-or in other words
competing with the stage line for
public business. If the raise was
made for this purpose the stage COM
pany has certainly made a mistake,
as the raise will not protect the COM
pany. If the stage line wants TO stop
the wagons from carrying passengers
over the road why not put tax on to
prevent it, and not cause every
teamster to suffer the burden. 1t
might be possible that few teamsters
have carried passengers, but the raise
to Sl.O0 for the round trip will not
prevent the teamsters who are guilty
of this offense from continuing the
business. The ERA does not care to
protect those who are Interfering
with the stage business, but it does
believe that the teamsters who carry
nothing but produce should have
square deal. If the stage company
is not desirious of taking the last
shot at those who cannot help them
selves, it will adopt new schedule.
Come on, and give the people a square
deal. If the Guardian has the inter
est of the farmers at heart it will
certainly agree with the ERA in
protecting those who are doing the
square thing.
