slowly until out of the danger zone.
1t is reported the czarina collapsed
when told of the narrow escape. Ply
sieians are attending her.

THE TROUBLE IN BuTTE.


Colorado Springs Telegraph.
The mine owners of Butte, Mont,
are suffering from labor trouble
with which they have absolutely moth
ing to do. They made a contract with
the Western Federation of Miners
and nov the federation is split vide
open by the refusal of a large mum
Der Of its members to pay dues fur
ther. The members wh9 have seeded
are largely given over to the doe
trines Of the Industrial Workers Of
the World, and they care nothing for
contracts, rules or regulations.
Meanwhile the mine operators are
between the devil aud the deep sea.
They have e contract with the fed
eratiop and that body is unable 20 fn
its contract, because large section
of its members have seeded. If the
mine operators adhere to their con
tract with the union. they will not
be able to run their propertiesi and
If they employ l. W WIS, they are
'iiSely TO incur the wrath of the fed
erationists. Whatever the outcome
is likely to be, tho mine owner is lia-
bic to get the worst OF it.
And these nre, the organizations
which are lighting hand in glove with
the United Mine Workers and are
trying to insist that the coal opera
tors of the state of Colorado employ
none but their members. Bill Hay
wood and his Industrial Workers OF
the World seem to be getting into
the west pretty fast.

EVIDENTLY WRITES FROM Ex.
PERlENCE.

Walt Mason voices our sentiments
to . large extent, and all the siren
voices are not of the Democratic per-
suasion. About the only difference
is in state and national politics and
it's historical fact that depression
follows every time the Democrats OBJ
tain national control, but outside Of
certain state and national policies,
Walt Mason has the office-seeking ag-
greeation sized up quite appropriate
ly as follows, under the heading:
CANDIDATES.
The candidates are coming forth,
a fierce and noisy crew, and east,
and west, and south, and north they
sound the loud bazoo; they sound the
loud bazoo, my friends, the same ia
miliar notes, and ere the weary CAM
paign ends they'll have our divers
goats. They're weeping for the men
who slave, with sweat upon their
brows, the starry flags again they
wave, and vow the same old vows.
my boys, we heard In days of our
youth, they so beguile us with their
noise we think they speak the truth.
And SO we'll all neglect our work
and waste the golden days, and hear
the ten-cent modern Burke goldbrick
the easy jays, my lad, and fll us full
of bunk, when we should work to earn
the scads, likewise the bone and
PUNK. They'll teach us that our
work depends on going to the polls,
and voting for our windy friends who
spin long rigamaroles; who spin long
rigamaroles, my dears, but never ply
the saw; who never WELD the spade
or shears-they only WELD the jaw.
They'll fool us with the same old
tricks, and lead us by the nose, and
we shall look to politics for cures for
all our woes; for cures for all our
woes, my chums, which statesmanship
can't help and when the day of wax
ing comes. just watch US whine and
yelp.

some hard bumps. Again, what as
surance that a provisional government

the country demanding and exacting

1t is well recognized fact that
farmers suffer more from the effects
of free trade than any other class.
Practically everything that northern
farmers produce is put under froe
trade competition with the entire
world It is said that more than
100000 wage earners Of the mines,
the mills and factories are out Of
work If that is true it means that
100000 families, customers of orr
farmers, win have little income with
which to buy food When means 10
buy are restricted the sales in tie
markets are reduced. That market
which is left is divided with Canad-
ians and with Europeans. To this
free trade Inevitably leads. It is alb
solutely impossible for American
farmers to compete with foreign pro
dueers Farm wages in Europe are
about one-ffth the wages paid in
this country. In October. November
and December, 1913, under the pres
ent tariff law, we imported 20 times
as many bushels of potatoes and 972
times as many bushels of oats as we
had ever imported in any other three
months since the Mckinley tariff law
went into effect The cash to pay
for the imRortations has gone out of
the country, thus limiting the scope
of every kind of business.
