It is a platitude that the greatest enemies of organized labor are not found among its open opponents, but among- its pretended friends. This truth 13 again illustrated by the facts r-.'yM out in the Shea case at Chli pears that tho great Chicago i. i I . . I - ' . . . . ...11. . 1 1 1 1l Fill e ,1 a nut nf imnl,-ivmiint rsusoa me Killing oi inirty men ana tho wounding of many others, was brought on by distributing $1,500 among the officers of the Teamsters' union. "We have graft in politics, graft in business, but nothing equalling in cold-blooded iniquity tills graft in labor. In Sam Park's case tho system of one employing Arm buying interference with the prosperity of another was revealed. The Chicago case is worse in that the corruption fund came from one union, the garment workers, and went to the officers of the other, the teamsters. It is high time for the honest mem bers of organized labor to give serious thought to tho kind of men they select for leaders and to devising methods for better scrutiny of their conduct when selected. Organized labor may bo able to beat those who opposo it from without, but it cannot grow much If it is betrayed from within. Threefourths of the prejudice among em ployers against unionism arises from a. knowledge of the character of union leaders. Those who attended the ses sions of the Central Federated union In New York prior to the recent elec tions and heard the accusations made by union men against union men could entertain small doubt as to the need of a thorough houso cleaning. When a labor case is on, instead of the prosecuting officer being denounced as a minion of capitalists he should have the hearty support of every honest labor unionist. Known crooks should not be Invited to walk at the , head of union parades, disgracing every man behina them. The strike seller should be made to know that even if lie escapes legal penalty he will not escape the punishment of tho comrades ho betrayed. New York Globe. Strike Anions 31. D.'s The physicians of Greece are in dire straits and threaten to go on strike unless something is done for their relief. Some of the physicians of Athens claim to be actually on th verge of starvation because of th great number of clinics where patients receive free treatment, and they want the government to prevent the forth establishment ot su on clinics and to permit them to increase their fees from the present figure of about 37 cents to something like 55 cents. It is apparent that the profession of doctoring among the Greeks is about on a par with that of mending umbrellas over In this country, and yet here the physicians have their troubles of something of the same nature. The competition of free clinics does not bother the American doctor so much, but he has. in many localities, felt tho competition of fraternal and benetlcial societies. many of which have, an official physician who treats tho members as may be necessary at a small fee for each member by the year. In one of tho small cities of the middle west the doctors went on strike recently and refused to have anything to do with tills system of lodge doctoring. There Is not much in doctoring a man by contract at the rate of a dollar a year, even when the contract takes In a society with a membership of 500 or 600. Providence (R. I.) Journal.

INDIA.XS IN MEXICO. President Diaz is himself in part of Indian descent and President Juarez was a pure-blooded Indian. The Indians and the Mestizoes alike are ambitious and progressive and in the course of time they will dominate every branch of industry and every part of the country. In this respect Mexico stands quite alone, although in all the South American republics there are strains of Indian blood, but in no one of them have the Indians the upper hand as they have in Mexico. The progress of Mexico to the front rank of nations is, therefore, a tribute to the Amtrican Indian, for it is he that has made that country and it is he that must keep it in the line of progress throughout the present century. We

now send an ambassador to .Mexico Instead of a minister as formerly, and It is said that Great Britian and France will soon do likewise. Mexico's rise has not been as meteoric as Japan s but it is one full of merit and promise, and it goes to show that the American Indian is not altogether decadent when confronted by modern civilization. Blrmngham (Ala.) Age-Herald. Jnpuuerte lu California. A Japaneso newspaper man and auth or who has stuuieo in aiui'iimi. iuih ..ges has an interesting article in the current Independent on I no Japanese in California." Since about 1890 over 40,000 Japanese have settled in that state. Of these more than iu.uvu are engaged in agriculture as land owners. tenants and laborers. In San Francisco there are 10,000 more, while in tne entire inuou ciaiea there are aboue 70,000, a mere handful as comparer to tne numoer ui uiuci foreign people of almost any nationality. Their paucity in numbers can be appreciated when compared to the Ger mans, Swedes or Norwegians in our own state. In San Francisco they have two daily and three weekly papers m their own language, but they are eager to learn English, and nearly every family has an English paper, iney nave rouut to that state their skill in husbandry . 1 .1 C fc I ana there is a large uemauu iur mem as farm laborers, as well as for railroad construction work and in other great enterprises. There is but one serious problem onnected with the coming of the Jap aneso to this country, u is uoi m their numbers, which will always be inconsiderable because of the comparatively small total population of Japan, and their preference for the mainland of Asia. But it is In their susceptibility to American civilization and the possibility of absorbing them into our population that their race distinctions may gradually disappear. On this will largely depend their loyalty to our ilag rather than their own, so that in the remote event of a war with Japan the danger of a hostile population scattered along both coasts and In every state would be eliminated. The best way, however, and the sur est way to counteract once a Japanese always a Japanese is to admit their children to our schools as the com panions of our children. As Mr. Kawakaml says, the question Is, 'whether or not the Japanese are not good enough to mix with the Americans." It is absurd to say that they are not. They are studious, obedient and of good manners. They would bring no contamination, physical or moral, while In the schools, and only in the schools, if at all, can any so distinctly foreign a race bo made loyal citizens. Duluth News-Tribuno.

The great magazine was holding a reception. Through the stately rooms passed a throng of poets, artists, actors, essaysts and philosophers. Among all these famous persons was one, a tat man with a naia neaa, wnom tho editors particularly honored. "And who is he?" I asked. "That," my companion answered, "Is the greatest of the magazine s regular contributors. ' "And," I went on, "the nature of his contribution is?" "Financial. He contributes $50,000 every year in hair-oil advertisements. Hit Inning. A drummer by the name of John But ton, who was stopping at a hotel In Montpeller, Vt., when the legislature was in session, found his hotel, the Pavlllion was headquarters of most of the representatives. When supper was announced the legislators rushed in and took their places, and begtm to call on each other to pass the. food, saying: "Will the man from Bradford please pass the rolls?" 'Will the gentleman from Essex pass the pie?" or "Would the man from Portland please pass the butter?" This did not suit the drummer, who had been unable to get anything, and during a brief interval of quiet he turned to the colored waiter and re marked: "Will the gentleman from Ethiopia please pass the bread?"

He had been detained at tho office until late and was eo tired he slept down town. But he had gotten up early and hurried home. The lady sparrow looked him In the eye: "You were up all last night with wicked companions," she cried, "and have just gotten home. You haven't been to bed at all. You are a bad, late bird and not an early bird. Oh, why did I ev " But her mate interrupted her with an imperious gesture. "Behold the proof!" he exclaimed, exhibiting a worm. As it Is an ascertained fact that late birds never get worms, she was fain to accept tha proof. New Orleans Times-Democrat. APPROVAL. "Do you think they approve of my sermon?" asked the newly appointed rector, hopetul that ho had made a good impression on his parishoners. "Yes, I think so," replied his wife. "They were all noddng."

She Goes W11 Heeled. "There s no reason for any woman to stand up in a car," said a sprightly representative of the sex. "Explain, came in a chorus from the others. "YTou all wear high-heeled shoes don't you?" "Certainly," was the response. "Well, you enter the car and take a position in front of a man who is com fortably reading a newspaper. You seize the strap and wait till the car stops at the next station. As the Jolt of the car comes you hold on to the strap and swing partly around and off your feet, Then as you settle, let both of the sharp heels of your shoes strike him on the toes. "He will suppress a smothered im precation, and you say. Beg pardon with your sweetest smile. "Nine times out of ten he will rise hurriedly and go to another part of the car.

In Bavaria there is a law which prohibits "kisses, passionate embraces, pressing her to his breast," and suchlike amorous actions on the stage. Dwarf Trees as Ornament.

San Paths. San baths cost nothing and are the most refreshing, life giving baths that one can take, whether sick or well. Every housekeeper knows the necessity of giving her woolens the benefit of the sun from time to time, and especially after a long rainy season or a long absence of the sun. Many will think of the injury their clothes are liable to from dampness who will never reflect that an occasional exposure of their own bodies to the sunlight is equally necessary to their own health. The sun baths do not cost anything, and that is a misfortune, for people are still deluded with the Idea that those things only can be good or useful which cost money. Let It not be forgotten that three of God's most beneficent gifts to man (three things most necessary to good health), sunlight, fresh air and water, are free to all. You can have them in abundance, without money and without price, if you will. If you would enjoy good health then see to It that you are supplied with pure air to breathe all tho time, that you bathe for an hour or so in the sunlight and that you drink plenty of pure water.

Th Voltnire of the East. Omar Khayyam was a famous Persian poet and mathematician in the twelfth century, who was employed by the Sultan Malik Shah In revising the astronomical tables and In making a thorough reform of the calendar. lie Is better known to us as the writer of some r00 epigrams ia verses of four lines which are unsurpassed hi their pure diction, fine wit and crushing satire. These clever and fascinating quatrains were put into English by Edward Fitzgerald, who in ISoO published "The Rubalyat of Omar," a rendering marked by exquisite melodiousness and by poetic insight and power. Omar has been called the Voltaire of the east because of his brilliant and pungent wit, while his depth of tenderness and profound thought and his denunciation of the fate which dooms to decay and death what is best and most beautiful in the world reveals much that reminds one of Byron, Swinburne and sometimes Schopenhauer. Crystal Sky Columns. An explanation of a curious optical phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on frosty nights, which is called the "pseudo aurora," is offered by a scientist. The phenomenon takes the form of beautiful columns of silvery light standing over electric arc lamps and other bright lights and sometimes appearing almost to reach the zenith. The scientist says that sometimes the evening star has a bright shaft below as well as above, while the rising moon stands in a broad column of light. These appearances are due to floating frost crystals which keep their reflecting faces horizontal. On examination he found that the crystals concerned in the exhibition were thin six sided plates of Ice, never more than one millimeter In diameter. When the wind blows, these little plates are upset, and the columns of light caused by reflection from their surfaces disappear. Greatest of All Cacti. The greatest as well as the commonest of all cacti Is the "soap weed," which grows wherever cacti grow and which Is man's only friend In the great southwestern deserts of the United States tmd in Mexico. It furnishes always a quantity of water when cut. As Its name Indicates, It can be manufactured Into a soap, perhaps the least alkaline soap ever made, even though the weed itself may grow in the center of an alkali desert. Beer is brewed from It, the Indians make a hemplike fiber from It, and horses and men can eat parts of It if the spines are cut away; also when it shoots up its one great arm skyward It tops that arm with one of the most gorgeous flowers in the world. Argonaut. New England ArRnments. To argue Is as necessary to a New Englander as to eat and to sleep. By nature he rejoices In the opposite side of every question, and he prefers broad, general questions of which he knows only what the daily paper tells him. If he is alone he will argue with himself, and often he will prove to, himself that he Is wrong and that the argument by which he proves It is faulty. From "The Balance of rower," by Arthur Goodrich. Information For the Young. "Pa. what do they call babies where there's three of them at a time I mean the same as twins?" "Triplets." "Oh, yes. I couldnt think what It was. And what Is it when there's four of them?" "A calamity. Now, put that pup out of the house and keep him out or I'll send for the dog catcher!" Chicago Record-Herald. A Splendid Gain. nobson How did you enjoy your summer trip, Bagley? Bagley Had a delightful time; gained 130 pounds. Ilobson One hundred and thirty pounds! I don't believe it! Bagley Don't you?

- - NEW YORlv LETTER. I New York, Dee. 6. Quite a surprise j was frruns on tho trade in the stock ! market this morning when the Great i Northern Ore shares wer admitted : ; to the unlisted department of the stock ' i exchange. The trade in them at the ! , opening was rather muddled apparent-; ly. traders who litruied this new stock ! .around 0 per share were surprised! . when the initial sale of the Ore stock j ! was $S3 and tho opening on Great j ! Northern preferred -30, thus repre- j jsenting 3 So for both is.-ues or fifteen; ', points higher than the final sale yesi terduy. This nianoeuver was purely manipulative and after the trade had 1 reasoned it out, the two stocks eamo I more in lino with each other, j The market as a whole had the same professional tactics as yesterday, r.any prices wero higher for St. Paul, Union Pacific. Reading, Southern Pacific, Atchison and Northern Pacific, The strength in our market was attributable more- or less to the higher prices sent over from London. Almost every i stock on the list showed gains over night, averaging from one half to one point. But in the later trading, however, recessions were obtained throughout the list by the bear operators who were again in evidence on account of tho strength In the call loan market. Call loans opened at 20 per cent, and gradually worked upwards until the ruling rates were at SO per cent. This gave the bears renewed strength in their position on tho market and the selling was of a better character than tho buying. St. Paul sold off from 1S2 down to lSOVi; Union Pacific from 1S7 down to ISS'Ms and tho balance of tho list all depreciated in value to the extent of a point or two. Tho directors of the New York Central company raised tho dividend rate, placing the stock on a 6 per cent, basis. As stated yesterday, it was more or less discontinued In the phentao less discounted in the phenomenal rise In the shares during the past ten days and after tho news becamse public, the stock sold off over a point from tho opening. The market closed feverish and weak with the bear operators having the advantage, temporarily at least. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descpt. Atchison . . Atch. pfd . Am.

COULD HAVE GOTSUBSTITUTES7 Excuse of Election Judge Blown Away by Investigator. In recalling incidents connected with Virginia politics some years ago a prominent Virginian recently related an account of an investigation of election frauds in the lower section of tho state. In the course oJ the proceedings it developed that the ballots In an important precinct had not been sealed after tho final count, thereby being exposed to fraudulent practices. Tho chairman of tho Investigating committee closely questioned the election judge as to why the proscribed duty of carefully securing tha ballots had been neglected. "Could you not obtain any mucilaga in the town?" "No, sir." "Could you not procure some seal ing wax, some shoemaker's wax, 1J nothing else?" "No, sir." "Well, then, sir, why didn't you g:o out into the woods and got some resin? Do you mean to tell me that there were no pino trees around thera shedding tears at your in-iamoua rascality?" NOT THAT KIND OF TIE3. Youth Unaware of Nature of Job Ho Asked For. About 20 years ago, when I wa3 in Spokane, Wash., a young fellow was sent there from Boston by his father for his health, and, Incidentally, ta make his fortune, says a writer In tha Boston Herald. He worked at h!3 trade as a tailor for his health an! gambled for his fortune. Needless to bay, he lost both, for, at that age, ha being about 13, ho was a delicate youth. Ilia money and job giving out about the same time, he looked around for something to do. Chancing to pass an employment office, he saw on tho blackboard, "Tie-makers wanted, 12Y3 cents apiece." He walked in, and addressed himself to the man behind tha desk, a big, raw-boned specimen, witi a fierce mustache. T see you want tie-makers, sir," ha said. "Yes, we do, sonny; but don't you think you are rather too light for tha job?" "Oh, no," replied the young man, "I can sew." "Sew," the other roared. "Why great Scott! kid, these are railroad ties!" Failed In Business. When Senator Bailey was In Wash ington recently a stranger called at his hotel and sent in a card. The senator did not recognize the name, but in accordance with his usual courtesy came out to where the stranger wa$ waiting. It took only a few minutes' conversation to develop the fact that i the indiridual e Imply desired to make a "touch." It was tho regulation "Been unfortunate and desire to get back to my own country." "What is your business, colonel?" the senator inquired. The rutty frock coat and tha black hat seemed to warrant the title. "Why, I am a gentleman, senator," the stranger replied, pompously. "Oh, I see," the senator said, pleasantly. "Have you instituted bankruptcy pro ceedings, sir?" As Frances Put It. Little Frances had begun to wm$ letters under the supervision of mamma. Recently her mother was away on a visit, and Frances decided to write to her without help. Sho managed slang and the new mode of spelling in one sentence: "Grandma got a letter from Anty and the news In it nokt her cut. Bitter, Bitter Thoughts.
