The worker must be absolutely free

to work for whom he chooses and for
whatever he chooses to accept: free
to join a labor union or not to Join
one. as he sees fiji; free to work under
union dictates or free to work under
decisions which he himself personally
hands down as governing his own
movements; free to quit work or to
remain at work whenever he thinks ne
can better himself by either course
And this quite irrespective of the views
of any fellow worker or any organized
body of fellow workers.
And above all. our American work
er must be free from annoyances. per-

Daniel Guggenheim has called the
turn" as they say, more than once, so
we note with pleasure his statement

Mr.. Dan as it does some of the rest

he says; THE clearing up of the for

public opinion is something which
neither employer nor labor union ever
yet has been able 10 resist or ever
will be able to resist: whenever it is
exerted, it is bound to prevail.
And our American worker must be
free to present his case either through
the medium of a national or a local
labor union, or through a shop commit
tee, or through whatever he himself
elects as the best vehicle of approach
10 the established tribunals attention.
And the corollary of this freedom
of the American worker is the cores
ponding freedom of the employer to
have exclusively labor union employ
ees in his establishment or to throw
that establishment open to any and all
free American workers who may find
its terms and working conditions to
them satisfactory
Mr.. Gompers is right-doubly, quad
ruply right. There is no room in this
country for those who would put
shackles on the American worker.
There is no room here for either the
tyranny of an employer or the tyran-
ny of a labor union. There must be
freedom, absolute and complete, for
1ur American worker. And, if we mis-
AXE not the tendency of the times,

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.

The three western states of Wyo-
ming, Montana and Idaho lead all
others in the number of bank deposit
tors per thousand of population, ac-
oording to the figures of the comptrol-
Ter of currency. The days of the old
west are gone. even in these states
which used to be known as wild and
woody" but they are still the land of
opportunity. The figures of the comp
troller show that for every thousand
of population in Montaan, 349 are
bank depOsitors which means that
one-third of the population have some
thing laid by. When it is considered
that the census bureau estimates five
persons to the family. it will be con-
,eded that the average is high. Even
despite few dry years Montanans

which that situation would have made

As a substitute for the Plumb plan
of ownership of railroads. the Nation
al City bank OF New York suggests
that the railroad men who seem to be
very much taken with the Plumb idea,
buy control of the railroads out of
their savings. 1t is pointed out that
there are at least 10000 600 railway en-
ployes in this country whose income
averages over $500 per year If they
save $50 per year each they could buy
control of the New York Central sys-
TEN in one year. of the Baltimore &

and whatever Of increase in taxes has
followed cannot be charged against the
Davis administration. So on their
record in the state alone the republi-
cans will enter the campaign confident
of success. But this is a republican
year throughout the nation. The peo-
pie have long had enough of demo-
cratic rule and are simply waiting for
the opportunity to vote the demo-
cratic party out of power. This feel
ing will extend to the state tickets as
well, for anything having a demo-
cratic brand may properly be regard
ed with suspicion. This is going to be
a great year for straight republican
tickets.

NEW THEORY ADVANCED IN ECO
NoMlc GEOLOGY.

We have heard all manner of argu-
ments advanced in favor of conserva-
ton of natural resources. but here is
a new one as applied to oil This
would not only save the oil. but if prac-
ticed it would stop the earthquake
shocks that have of late terrorized the
people along the Mexican border, and
supply the lubricant without which
the earth will soon cease to revolve
ON its axis. This theory is advanced
by "a negro preacher in Texas and is
told 10y C. w. Slavery, an oil broker
of the lone star state, in the preach
er's original language;
I'VE has received anudder
warnin' not TO go pesticatin in

WOULD MAKE COOKS OUT OF
CRIPPLED SOLDIERS.

According to c. f. Reavis, congress-
man from Nebraska, during the last
year the government has published
sixteen cook books, adding that ut
would be ridiculous if it were not so
tragic. While the government was
consuming vast quantities of paper in
these and similar useless publications,
1900 country town newspapers have
suspended in the last three years be-
cause they could not secure print
paper" This presents a fair example
OF what is going on in the several de-
partments at Washington in the way
OF unnecessary publications, but which
serve to keep deserving democrats"
on the government payrolls The last
cook book issued was under the direc-
ton OF the board of vocational train
ing from which it appears that the
money appropriated by the republican
for the rehabilitation of Grip
pied soldiers is being spent by a demo-
'ratic administration in providing our
disabled defenders with the most ap-
proved recipes with the view to en-
billing them to cook for themselves or |
'erchance earn their living by cooking
or other people.
