RAILROADS VS.. EMPLOYEES.
CCarrplI Herald

We are in receipt Of pamphlets
daily from the headquarters Of as
ISOLATED railroads in Chicago giving
arguments why the wages of employees
should not be increased. We are asked
in circulars and personal letters to
publish this matter emanating from
the railroads. Not word has come
from the union labor men who are
about to precipitate the strike.
Now, why should newspaper be
asked by the associated railroads TO
espouse their cause? Why do the rail-
roads assume that newspapers viii
publish their side. to the exclusion OF
the arguments put forward by the en-
pioyes? b., e.. SILK
In our daily contact with men we
meet fifty laboring men TO one rail-
road nabOb. In the conduct of our
business we receive scores Of dollars
from Iaboring men-railroad employees
and otners-wnere we get nothing
from the highbrows who sit on the
cushioned seats in the palatial offices
in Chicago and New York. We meet
these men with their coats Off and
their hands roughly gloved with q
kindred feeling and naturally SYM
patfiize in their aspirations. They are

GO TO A FINISH.

ICouncl Bluns NOnparch.J
Efforts are being made by prominent
republicans in the state to reduce the
number of gubernatoria1 aspirants in
the party to two. The consensus OF
opinion among these is that Kuehnle
and Allen should step out and allow
Harding and Cosson to go onto the
primary mat for final tryout.
The purpose of these republicans is
good They ought to succeed. But it
is more than likely that they will not.
Allen has evidently determined to stay.
and while Mr.. Kuehnle has cancelled
speaking dates BECAUSE Of illness in
his family, he has given out no inti-
nation that he considers withdrawing
And there is some doubt as to the Wis
dom Of this course in any event, The
Nonpareil is confident the voters In
the republican party will choose wisely
and well in the primary II they
should for any reason fail in this case
/; the voters OF the state will have a try
out in November ard there lie no doubt
but that they will rectify any error

THE SPRING BONNET.

The spring bonnet Is mournful re-
minder OF woman's supremacy over

In the show windows and peep .shyly
out OF the department store advertise
ment before the snow IL or the ground,
and also before apprehensive husbands
have saved up enough money 70 meet
II without wabbling at the knees.
The most deadly form OF spring
bonnie. Is what Is known as the adj
ranced pattern style, which il SO eS-
elusive In design that it can not be
patterned after by anybody else vita
out calling In a landscape gardener.
The pattern hat is summed by every
husband who has had bill for one
laid on his desk face upward. where
he can gaze upon it's lineamrnts and
shed an unavailing tear. In the
middle of August the early spring
hat has no more sale value than
fieece-lined underwear in South AZ
RIGA and can be bought for n crisp s!
bill. Why is il, then. that woman
does not buy her spring hat during
the dog days, and thus enable her
husband to save more money with
which to invest in smoking tobacco
aud Kelly pool? al
The spring bonnet usually comes
with nothing on but its shape, which
is seized by the def, $4-an-hour
fingers OF the milliner and put
thru process called trimming.
People who have watched this process
worked out say that 1t is hard to
tell which has been trimmed the most
effectively, the hat or the husband.
nut the result is a creation which
causes envy to spring up in church
and social circles. 1t also causes
every maid servant in town to secure
one Just like It. thereby making 1t
necessary to consult another trim
mer.

one chance of defeating Cosson lies in
the candidacy Of Mr.. Allen. But over

conditions in that state:
"Eigh, Of Deaver's primo !psl banks

stunt in Iowa. II may afford line
upon the source OF the funds which
are assisting anti-sufrage in Iowa
Somebody pays. Who PAYS Who
would be likely 70 pay to defeat
woman suffrage which has such re-
suits as Governor Carlson says the
women's vote had in Colorado?
