A GOOD DAYS WORK

1t is estimated that the contribu-
tons made Tuesday, when every union
man was asked to give one hours pay,
for the benefit of the Danbury hatters
will amount to $350OO0 and may reach
$450,000. The money was contributed
to save individual hatters from loss
due to the judgment in the sum OF
$4,000 made in favor of~D. z. Loewe
& Company for punitive damage due
to strike.
The assurance that individual hat
tiers will not lose homes or personal
property through the generous CO.
operation of workers of every trade
will be hailed with JOY by every one
interested in labor matters. The hat
tiers, as has been repeatedly said until
the story is an old one. performed
distinct service to the cause of labor
by their steadfastness and self sac
rifice-and the judgment which was
obtained against them was so repel-
liant to the American sense of Justice
that CONGRESS FASTENED to pass the
Clayton bill legalzing the acts which
had been the basis Of the suit-and no
laborer will now or ever again suffer
the penalty imposed upon the hatters.
With the growth of knowledge of
the aims and purposes of labor unions
are those aims justified and upheld by
public sentiment-and the growing
solidarity of the laboring classes
marks distinct step forward. When
every labor union rushed to the aid of
the hattersthere was evidence of this
solidarity and it bespeaks much for
the future

THE LABOR PRESS

During the week a goodly number OF
Boise labor unionists have enrolled
themselves as subscribers to The
Gem Worker-andsthis is as it should
be- The. old-time labor paper was
principally supported by the zeal Of a
misguided publisher, who allowed his
enthusiasm to get the better OF his
Judgment. 1t was treated as a mendi-
cant by the public and had no standing
with the advertiser. But things have
changed nightly in the last few years
and today the labor press that comes
to our exchange table comes from
every state in the union and is COM
posed of as bright and attractive pa
pers as one would desire to see. The
Gem Worker goes to the homes of the
laborers of Boise; its advertising
columns are CLEANED for the announce
ments of those business men who are
friendly to labor's cause and who in
turn invite the patronage of the work
ers.
There are still few unionists in the
city who have neglected to enroll
themselves upon our subscription list
and we purpose to give them an inn
mediate opportunity to do so. There
is no reason why labor paper in
Boise should not be one of the Lead
ing papers of the state and we intend
to put forward every effort to make
The Gem Worker worthy of its high
mission.

DUG ITS OWN CRAVE

The Butte Socialist, which was edit
ed by Lewis J. Duncan, formerly So
cialist mayor of Butte. Montana has
been laid away in the cemetery. This
once influential and prosperous paper,
which played strong part in the
wreckage of a powerful local union
and its thousands of members. was
murdered by the political ambition of
its editor The paper suspended pub
LEGATION several weeks ago, thus as
surfing the end of Mr.. Duncan's politi-
cal ambitions.
The fate of the Butte Socialist and
of its former editor might we'll serve
a warning to other editors who, mask
ed by Socialism, plant the seeds 'of
disruption and dissension among the
rank and file of economic organiza-
tions under one pretense or another.

HOW TO IMPROVE LAMB CROP

lambs get but little milk and they
will really do better without It,
When taken from their mothers
the lambs should be put on piece OF
fresh pasture, which will help to
avoid much Of the stomach worm

After weaving time the ewes should
be put on a scant pasture for about
a week In order to dry them up quick.

MIXED a few times to prevent the

AMBITION
NOT THE QUESTION
Thomas C. McRae Gives The State
Machine And Its Methods Straight
From The Shoulder Talk.

Following the withdrawal of Col.
Thos. C. McRae from the race for
governor, an effort was made by
friends, principally in his own sec
ton of the state, to have him get
back into the race, and every as
sistance possible was pledged to
him by these friends. But, after
a thorough consideration of the
matter, Col. McRae refused to re-
enter the race and issued the fol-
lowing public statement, which is
interesting and profitable reading:
TO the Democratic Voters of Ar
kansas:
MY friends who have cOmmuni-
Gated with me personally, by letters,
telephone or telegraph, are not
agreed as to the course | ought to
take in the race for governor. They
all, however, have the same desire
the restoration of the state GOV
ernment to the people. All Of
them are seeking a means of escape
from an elective political despotism,
the fatal fruits of which are fast
maturing. They differ only as to
who can best lead in the fight they
have determined to make for good
government. After a careful con-
sideration of all they have said and
the question both from personal
and public standpoint, adhere to
my decision announced last week to
withdraw.

so unusual that It surprises and mys-

SCORES THE MACHINE

The first great concern of every
patriotic, law-abiding, liberty-loving
citizen is to destroy, root and
branch, the existing political ma
chine that seeks to continue the
control of this state; a machine that
deems everything legitimate that
can serve its selfish purpose. III
the presence of this great and press
ing issue the cause is everything;
individuals are nothing, and mere
personal appeals and individual
ambition should not be considered.
With the conditions that con-
front you in connection with the
fact that plurality will nominate,
the fewer candidates you have the
better for those who want good
government. You should all 90 to
the polls and with one accord elect,
from governor down, men who will
give their best efforts to restore
state government to what it was in
the days of our fathers.
SHOULD ELECT BEST MEN
The one sure and quick way to
redeem your state is to elect to the
general assembly your purest and
best men; men who will expose and
punish past and prevent future
mal'administration on the part Of
those in the public service.
The result of the recent primary
in Pulaski county is a splendid be-
ginning in the great reform move
ment. 1t is indicative of what an
aroused people can do. 1t is a
warning to those who rely upon
machine methods, Let the good
work extend to the uttermost parts
of your beloved but boss-ridden
state.
TO all my friends, the large
number who volunteered their SER
vices free to canvass and organize
for me If | would re.enteT the
much larger number who urged me
to reconsider my withdrawal, and
the few who advised against 1t, |
am profoundly grateful for their
continued interest in me, No man
ever had friends more loyal than
mine.
Notwithstanding the assurance
of most valuable help from able
canvassers and organizers, for the
reasons heretofore given, | feel il
my duty not to renew the contest,
Faithfully yours
Thomas G. MuRae."
