THE LOGIC OF STRIKING TEAMSTERS.
Two striking teamsters, .both union men, were trying to argue out the advisability of continuing the present etrike, on a street corner this morning-. "I want to go to work," said the first. "What? For $12 a week?" asked th other, contemptuously. "Yes, for $12 a week," answered the first. "Why don't you try it?" said the second with a suggestion of a threat and a sneer. "Well, because I want to stick with the rest of you," replied the other with dogged resignation. "I don't see the sense of this strike. Here I have been working for this man for five years and I always got my money. I know that lately he hasn't made fifty cents a day with his teams. I got my $12 a week. Out of that I paid $.j for my board leaving me $7 in the clear. The only reason why we think the work is worth $14 a week is because we think we jean get it. Do you think we can?" "We can if we stick." And they are still sticking. There does not seem to be any question of "principle" involved in the attitude of the team owners, except the simple business principle of striking a balance between what goes out and what comes in. Fodder la higher than it ever was. It costs more to feed a horse now than at any other time In the last decade, while it Is not shown that the price of hauling lias advanced correspondingly or that there is any more of it to do now than there was when the teamsters were willing to do it for $12 a week. The history of teamster's strikes is that they are seldom if ever won on their real merits. It is not hard to find men who are competent to steer loaded trucks even through congested streets and who are willing to do the work
at fair wages, if they are sure that in doing so they would not be risking thier
lives. The man who takes the place of a striking teamster, no matter what
that teamster is striking for, becomes, in the nature of the work, a conspicuous target for the jears and mistjiles of "sympathizers" who have not considered
the situation. Therein lies the strength of teamster's strikes. MR. FINICKY WANTS STENOGS.
The latest old maid of the masculine gender appears to be the man in
Chicago who makes one of the conditions under which he will engage five stenographers, that the "stenogs" guarantee to wear a fiYsh, clean white
shirtwaist every day. Speed, ability and sense are also required in a moderate degree but above all the girls employed by this fastidious individual must wear
epotless shirtwaists, not even appearing in one that has been used for a short
time the evening before to ravish tho eyes of the wearer's "gentleman friend"
who may also admire unsullied linen.
It is not stated what salary the particular employer Is prepared to pay for the monuments to cleanliness he desires to have in his service. Possibly
If he was required to put up for the laundry work of the five spotless ones, he might take one glance at the first batch of bills and then die of remorse. The
chances are. however, that one of hi3 Idiocyncraeies is also never to be both
ered with laundry bills and to expect to pay his stenographers the princely
salaries of $S per week each. This magnificent muniflcense would enable the
stenographers to permit their mothers to wash and iron their lingerie waists
for nothing along with the balance of tho family wash, or else to go home,
after working hours and do It themselves. IF THE "Clean Shirtwaist Every Day" fad becomes epidemic among em
ployers there's a chance for sorao inventive genius to put foreward an in
destructible celluloid shirtwaist which will require nothing more laborious
or expensive in its cleansing than dusting off with a damp cloth.
Dixie Honors Union Dead. ! That fitting tribute may be paid to the honor and memory of those Union soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the civil war, the members of the Federal Memorial association and of the William D. Woods pout. Grand Army of the Republic, assembled in Oakwood cemetery this afternoon where the graves of tho soldier dead were showered with floral offerings and wreaths. This beautiful custom which is religiously observed each year, in which those Northern soldier dead who sleep beneath the soli of southern cemeteries will be witnessed by many northerners who reside In Montgomery or who are temporarily residing in the capital city and who desire to pay their homage to those known and unknown among the Union dead. Gathered in the cemetery the members of the association and the Grand Army post gathered at the assembly call which was sounded nt 2:45 o'clock. After an invocation by Rev. F. G. Railey an address was delivered by Judge
Thomas G. Jones. I he services were then , turned over to the members of
the post and association. After "taps" were sounded by :i

China Has Forgotten.
It was only a short time ago just a few weeks that America was called upon to aid In the relief of faminestricken China. Millions of people were starving and America responded nobly. Scarcely, however, had the money and supplies completed their long journey before we heard of revolts and uprisings, threats of massacre and also -that the lives of American men and women fire placed In Jeopardy by tne very people to whom we gave support. Now, if famine comes again in China, shall we let the msuffer? No'. Our civilization puts a responsibility upon us. They are human beings as we are, though Ignorant, unenlightened and ungrateful, but that can make no difference. When China starves again, we must give again; when China forgets again, we must forgive again. We

Premier Social Functional.
Next to going to a circus, running
to fires is Hopkins' chief social func-
ion in popularity. It's fun running to
fire, unless your own home or prop-
rty is in danger.
We were relieved Thursday when the
fire on lower Rroadwav. which we f.-ar.
1 was at our home, was at the home f Skul Scanlon instead. We were
ruing an editorial on Self Sacrifice hen the fire bell rang. We could see
rom the Hay Press office that it was
in our neighborhood. We ran down Broadway like a scared rabbit. If a
unstable had been chasing us we
couldn't have run fas-ter. As we un
reached the spot we saw that Scanlon's i
esidence, and not ours, was going up
in flame and smoke. Much relieved we

No Mystery in Visit.
Prof. Pollard, who conducted the
roller Fkating rink last winter, arriv
ed from Los Angeles this week. He
came to see a former pupil, Miss Rag-
gie Clingstone, although he claims that
his mission here is to visit relatives. As he spends most of his time with Miss
""lingstone it is evident that she, and
not his relatives, is the drawing card.
Young fellows like Prof. Pollard don't
ravel across a continent to visit rela
tives, unless the said relatives have
ots of mony and no heirs. Prof. Pol
lard's Hopkins relatives have plenty
of heirs but no money.
Object to Tainted Money.
Mayor Watson has challenged Bob
McKay, both elders in the Zion church,
to a lawn mowing contest on the church
lawn, which needs it badly, for $5 a side, the winner to donate his winnings to the church repair fund. Rev. Tuttle, pastor of the church, says he won't
accept wagered money for home church
purposes, but will have no objection
to forwarding it to the foreign mission
ary society for the conversion of Afri
cans and AsiatlCB.

There were seven grass widows at
tho lawn party given by Mr. and Mrs.

widows seemed to admirably harmon

widows at a lawn party were right in
their element.
