ers and their newspapers assured them
that they knew that the accused we're
not guilty.
Hence as we say, we believe that the
confessions of the McNama1a brothers,
while not claimed as being at all of the
philanthropic nature, but only made to
save their own lives, yet the results will
be far reaching and do much to still the
troubled waters of labor and employers
in the future.
The early advices by telegraph from
all over the country are that the labor
unions are repudlating the McNamara
brothers and their crimes done in the
name Of labor. This is what might be
expected, as no one will accuse the work
ing men of this country of aiding, abet-
ting or even consenting to the use of
dynamite as solution of labor troubles,
1t will do the employers good to know
that the unions are not assemblages of
anarchists and will do some labor lead
ers good to learn the same lesson. 1t
will do the unions good to learn from
this awful example that moderation
means more in the end than dynamite.
Unionism is all right in its basic theories.
In time the employers and employees will
both know it, But both parties must
and will learn that there are far more
effective means of knocking down stone
walls than butting their heads against
them.
As to the McNamara brothers and
their future, it matters little. Whether
they pay with lives the penalties they so
richly deserve, or whether they are suf-
fered to live, will make almost 10 differ
ence to the general public. But their
confessions are worth thousand such
lives. They are not of tho ordinary
criminal class. It is quite possible that
these men had worked themselves into q
state Of mind in which they thought
themselves justified in using dynamite in
the cause Of labor. Perhaps by this
time they realize their awful mistake.
II their confession had been made be-
caase they now realize their great wrong,
We should like them better.

THE CHRONICLE HAS A SPELL

The Cavalier Chronicle devotes half
column to scolding us for having the
audicity to construe law(which by the
way we did not do) and then proceeds to
construe law itself in the following
manner
'sWe would respectfully inform the
Pioneer Express that there is no crying
need for the Chronicle to publish the
section of the North Dakota code which
it refers to. The county seat removal
question has been legally and re-legally
disposed of and the law governing such
removal plainly and unquestionably
spelled CAVALIER and not Penn
bina." "The fly in the ointment" will
adjust himself to meet the new con.
ditions."
As the Chronicle refuses to print q
a law, which it construes without print
ing, and in which the editor says that
'"P-E-M.B:I.N.A" spells Cavalier, we
we'll again take the liberty Of printing
the same as we did in the former case,
leaving our readers to constrne it for
themselves.

rssE MCNAMARA CONFESSIONS.

The startling news Of last week was
the confession of the Mcnamara broth
.srs. 1t is hard to say who were the
most astonished, the labor unions or the
other people. No trial in the history Of
this country was more fraught with pos
sible consequences TO the whole people
than was this. It was 80 largely ques-
tion Of politics. The great difficulty en-
,countered in securing a jury was be-
cause almost every juror sommoned was
rejected because he had pronounced
views on the question of labor versus
capital, and of unionism against the EN-.
ployers.
Those who have not had the oppor-
tunity Of reading the newspapers that
are published as the organs of the unions
and Of the socialists, have little idea Of
the intensity Of the feeling of the labor
ing class in this case, That these men
were falsely accused, that they were IL
legally arrested, that they were abduct-
cd from their homes to be tried in a
foreign and unfavorabie community.
that these have been wronged in almost
every way by q revengeful government
assisted by lot of bloodthirsty spies and
hired detectives, we're the doctrines that
we're promulgated among the working
men Of the whole United States and
firmly and honestly believed by them.
In response to the vociferous appeals Of
these papers ana the leading men and
officials OF the unions more than $4,000
has been subscribed for the defence of
the accused and money was still flowing
in when stopped by the confessson.
SO intense was this feeling that these
men were being prosecuted Tor labor's
cake, that to the bulk Of the laboring
men no amount Of evidence brought in
by the government would have even con-
vinced them that this prisoners were
guilty. II these men had been convict
Cd and hung on such evidence then they
would have been canonized and glorifed
as martyrs to the cause Of labor.
g.a Hence we are glad that the men have
confessed as in no other way could this
matter have been settled in the minds Of
both parties at interest. In q trial at
court, the prisoner may be acquitted or
found guilty, but his enemies or friends
will still have the Same opinions Us be-
fore the trial. The union labor people
we're deceived becanse they did not be-
love that their fspse atiyes, - were
the Mon Nsmara brothels, would IS guilty
q such daatsrdly crimss; they did not

A FABLE.

Once upon time Five Men started on
Journey in an Automobile. They pro-
gressed very Well for Time. but after
a While, the Automobile began to Slow
up, as the lightning Thingumbob SEEM
ed to Fail in igniting the Carburning-
ator, or something of that Sort. Later
the Automobile came to a Dead stop.
The Shower still kept his hands on the
Steering Wheel and Moved the Front
wheels back and forth but the car did
not Go Ahead. The other man on the
Front Seat took out his pipe and smoked.
One of the Men on the Back seat hap
pened to have newspaper in his pocket
and took the time to Read. The other
two Men played Seven-up with Pack
of Cards that happened to be IN the
Pockets of one of them. The car still
remained where it had Stopped. When
night came the Men stretched out as
best as they could on the seats and when
they woke up the next Morning the auto
was still in the same Place on the High.
way. The Man on the Front Seat got on
a farmers wagon that was passing by
and rode Away. The man with the
newspaper having read his paper thru
twice, got out and walked back to Town.
The other two Men kept on playing
Seven-up, which never grows old be-
cause One always has Chance of Turn
ing up a Jack. Five days later Two
Hobos came that way afoot and found
all three Men dead ir the dead Auto
mobile. Two with hands of Cards but
no Jack turned up on the deck and the
dead Shower still had his hands on the
Steering Wheel. The Tramps, looked
over the Auto and found the Gasoline
Tank empty. One Tramp went to >
House not Far away and begged a Gal.
Ion of Gasoline while the other Tramp
tossed the bodies of the dead Men into
the Ditch and covered them with grass,
but did not Stop to erect Monument
to their memory. The first Tramp pour
ed the Gasoline into the Tank and then
one took the wheel while the Other turn
ed the Crank and away they went and
perhaps are going Still.
Moral.-There isn't any moral to this
fable. Those men were simply fools.
But it the reader will go over the table
again and use the words ~town" or sscity''
in place OF the word automobile, in.
stead of five men" say "5O0 men" and
the fable will become true story Of
some towns or cities. When the town
stops progress, some will smoke, some
will play cards, some will read newspap.
ers, some will skip, others will remain
and die. Meantime the s'shovef" which
is the city governnent or commercial
club. tries to move the dead aato by the
steering wheel, aad al the time all that
is needed is for somebody to look in the
gasoline tank. Think it ovee, Citizens,
The meu in the fable were &ooas.

tracing attention around the post office
The place is one that paid Mr.. Latey S21OO,

to start in at 5000, but 1t Is nonetheless
so much better than the average as to
be highly desirable
superintendent Latey's main reliance has
been his chief clerk, Will Brown, but he is
not supposed to be under consideration
The talk is that II Postmaster Thomas has
the say, the appointmet will go to either
Assistant Superintendent Grogan or TO the
head of the depot station. Ed Hoag, both
of whom are known to be in especially
good grace with the postmaster Mr.. Gro
gan was a postoffice inspector located at
Lincoln up to last year, when Mr.. Thomas
gave him the Ames avenue station ahead OF
all the local men, and then quickly pro-
NOTED him to the city delivery office with
higher pay. Ed Hosg has been letter
carrier of long service, who was trans
ferred from his route to take charge OF
the depot station about two months ago
Several others who might be otherwise
eligible are on what Postmaster Thomas
calls his TRAITORS list" have counted

"At that time he was a slender, studious
looking young fellow, and could count
money faster than he can talk now. In
stead of sticking to the banking game,
when he found he was declining in health
he abandoned the handling OF filthy bills
and boycotted all bacteria forevermore.
He was honest and popular, and the dem
ocrats OF St. Paul elected him to the as
sembly, the upper body, of the city coun-
Gil, twice in succession. While assembly
man he made a study Of city betterment

"Regan had the ambition to be the best
street commissioner on record, but pri-

courted much trouble. There were too
many people to satisfy, and when Mayor
Keller. a republican, was elected, Regan

How strange the women generally
