Good Old Bonds.

George f. Kuhn of Salina, Kan, for
10 years has been carrying old Union
military bonds of Missouri of the is
sue of 1868 as souvenirs Of the Civil
war He has just learned that they
are worth their face value and that
Missouri will redeem them and pay
interest at 6 per cent from the date Of
issue. Ten years ago Kuhn found
more than 5000 of this money. He
gave it away all except $2S to his
friends. This he kept. He will send
the bonds to Jefferson City, and for
the $2S he will receive approximate.
$40.

Mr.. Meyers right to speak before his
organization here, those opposed to
the gentleman would at once declare
that the state or federal government,
as the case might be, was backing up
the Western Federation of Miners,
when as a matter of fact, of course, all
that an armed force actually would do
would be to preserve order, but In do
ing this simple thing of enforcing the
right Of public meeting and freedom
Of speech, the result would directly
benefit the particular labor cause
which at present appears to be In the
minority in Butte.
So 1t Is in strikes, the troops in pre-
serving order invariably help, by that
very action, the side which is the
weaker one, as far as public opinion
In the immediate locality is concerned
1t Is this condition Of affairs which
leads members of organized labor to
declare that troops are always en-
ployed against them and never on
their side.
Actually soldiers are neutral and
have only one duty to perform and
that is to protect life and property
but the restoration Of order generally
results favorably to the side which is
weakest in numbers and from physi-
cal standpoint.
Thus in Butte the Western Fedora
ton apparently is in the minority
just now, and 1t would not be surpris-
ing If President Meyer had made a
request for protection, and If so, he
should be able to understand in future
the position Of employers in doing the
same thing, when they were in fear of
bodily harm or the destruction of
their property.
The Miner has not the slightest idea
that troops Of any kind will be sent to
this mining center and it only COM
ments upon this matter with a view
Of bringing home to some of those
who are opposed to soldiers interven-
ing in civil strife, that a day may
come in their lives when they would
welcome the protection which the mill
itary alone upon occasion can extend.

(Alfred Chantz in Carson, New, News)
During the last "a years | have read
