Edmond Enterprise,
Dear Friends.—Since you seem to
be discussing the variation of crcps;
right of churches to turn the pastor
out of the synagogue,and the presidents
attitude toward the Panama Republic,
to a great extent, let me tell you some-
thing about the climate at the north
pole. On Jan, 2nd the thermometer
fell to 35 degrees below zero,we thought
that was pretty cold. From that time
until the 22nd the temperature varied
from 10 to 30 degrees below. But on
the 22nd it fell to 40 degrees and tor
three days varied from 30 to 45 degrees
below. On February, 1st, We had a
typical North Dakota blizzard which
lasted about 12 hours. I think Mr.
Editor that it would have cooled the
ardor of either of your "Disbanded
Volunteers." The 1st happened to b«
a school day, and the Indians came
after their children in sleds and went
home on the run. Mr. Iron-whirl-
wind got lost, but finally run into Struck-
manys house and stayed all night.
Blackboy got lost on the way home
from Cannon Ball, eight miles, and he's
traveled the road a hundred times I
suppose.
We had another blizzard yesterday
but was it was not so bad as the first
though the thermometer registers 34
degrees below this morning. People
dont seem to be afraid of the cold.
They go to town or visiting when the
temperature is 10 to 15 below as much
as you do in Oklahoma when 'tis 25 or
30 above. On the coldest days we have
15 to 20 children out of our enrollment
of 25, and nearly always have a full
attendence. Some of them come
four miles, and nearly all of them
more than one and one half miles,
their parents bring them In sleds and
com# after them again in the evening.
They Jiave plenty of horses, good harn-
ess, and bob sleds.
The ice gn the Missouri River is
fully four feet thick, the people use it
for a road through the winter months,
as the sleds run over the ice easier
than over the snow, and the other
roads are often made Inpassible
drift*,
We are studying Indian language
as well as Indian character and "Yuha
waonspeka wan clstima etanhonhe."
They call me "Waonspekiye" and
Mrs. Sanders "Tipisaea."
You understand that studying such
things as the above give us but little
time to study the right or wrong of the
presidents attitude toward Panama,
so we will not enter into the discussion
of the disbanded volunteers, though I
think when t le man from Pawpaw
writes such an article as - A Laymans
Sermon'' which appeared In the issue
of Jan, 28th. he should have nerve
enough to sign his name to it.
Wishing success to all our friends
and a long life to the editor. We are
Respectfully,
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Sanders.

Aiother -Strike', At The Volunteer.
Editor Edmond Enterprise.
PL£ASE allow me to state, through
your paper a few facts In con-
tradiction to what your "Disbanded
Volunteer" said about the strike and

send out a union driver for any purpose
during the continuance of the lockout
or strike. This is a fact that can not
be disputed and should be known to
everyone.
Permit me to suggest lhat It would
be advisable to communicate this im-
portant fact to "Disbanded Volunteer"
and this fact also, that the livery men's
association, the undertaker's and this
embalmer's association and the casket
trust of Chicago (all of these are rich
men's unions) had a thorough under-
standing between themselves, and when
the men who signed our aggreement
went to buy caskets in which to bury
their dead they were refused them, and
had to get men in their own body, who
all of the other men In authority failed.
Our governor is a member of the
printers union.
I would rather risk the good judg-
ment of men like these ihan rely upon
that of ycur "Disbanded Volunteer"
concerning questions of this character.
Your "Disbanded Vo unteer" seems
very willing to give a working man the
worst of it and to misrepresent facts, I
wonder if he knows that a strike is
never ordered except through and by
orders of unions and when all other
methods of setting difficulties have
failed.
Let us all hope to see the day when
working men of all classes without re-
gard to religion or potltics will be

strikers In Chicago.
Chicago Dec. 30. 1903.
Owing to the great disaster to the
public caused by the fire at Iroquois
Theater, I do hereby declare a truce
in the present strike of the undertakers
and livery drivers for ten days, and do
further request that every man now on
strike report at once to their respective
places of employment and do every
thing in their power to assist their em-
ployers In caring for the wants of the
public, Wages are to have no con-
sideration.
(signed) Albert Young.
Mark well the following paragraph:
As soon as this strike or lockout was
originally started the union offered to
furnish drivers absolutely free of
charge for the puipose of driving
hearses to bury the dead. The union
would not allow the men to scab it for
that purpose, but offered to furnish
drivers absolutely free, this proposition
was rejected by the livery owners,
owing, It Is claimed, to the fact that
the owners (union) had a fine o' five
hundred dollars ($500) on any member
el iti (union) association who weuld
could, to make them. This statement
is absoluty true and can be proven.
If your "Disbanded Volunteer'* was
really a volunteer in the Spanish war
he certainly was a striker because he
sympathized with the Cubans and prob-
ably struck with and for them.
George Washington was a striker,
he struck against British oppression of
the poor, Abraham Lincoln was a
striker, he struck for the poor down
trodden negro slave, President Roose-
velt is a member of the Mason's union
and iayed the cornerstone of a union,
building. His sympathies are with the
laboring men and he quelled the strike
in the Pennsylvania coal mines when
