1t is a matter Of keen reproach
to the ranks of organized labor
that strikes and disturbances of all
kinds should be rife Just at this
time when the natioh needs that
we should be one as we never before
have been. Doubtless there are
causes a-plenty for strife-in ordin-
ary times and under ordinary con-
ditions. At present, and under the
conditions that face this country, it
would seem that, while the world
is called upon for sacrifices in all
the relations OF life, labor might con.
sent to bear patiently few injusti-
ces, especially if to remedy those
injustices the safety OF the country
is to be jeopardized. Everything

of this country, initiates agains
the great undertaking that We have
entered upon. Now when the
country needs every ounce OF its
strength, is a poor time to settle
labor disputes, especially if the
settlement involves contention and
strife. If there is not sufficient pat
riOtism and loyalty among the en-
plOyers to grant merited rights.
then labor should prove itself the
better patriot in bearing with in
justic until our country is safe from
the dangers that threaten.

DEER VERY ELUSIVE

DOUGLAS, Sept. 10.-The Mayor Smith-Clerk Bennett hunting party which has been out since Saturday night, September 1, returned short ly after midnight last night with but two deer to their credit, one being killed the first day out and the oth. CT. fine big buck, yesterday and when the party was homeward bound. They spent most of the time al Twin Points about 35 miles out. Clerk Bennett was sick most of the time he was away, attributing his misfortune to something he ate the second day. Ct must have been something to eat as there was noth- ing to drink in the outfit.) At any rate, he returned with coated tongue, a depleted stomach, ringing in his ears, specks before his eyes, slow pulse, bad taste in his mouth, ingrowing whiskers, symptoms of hook worm, distaste for food and d far-away, dim and distant look that said moreS plainly than words My next vacations will be spent in my office" Mayor Smith stood the trip well, having none of the clerks symptoms except the whiskers.
