		Jones moved around the United States for a while, teaching and also working as a seamstress, until, in 1860, she met and married George Jones, an iron worker, and settled down in Memphis, Tennessee.
		The tale of the life of Mary Harris Jones to this point is unquestionably a depressing one: driven from Ireland by the British oppression, driven from Canada by religious prejudice, a happy family destroyed by disease and finally her hope for a decent independent living destroyed by fire.

		William Saletan’s “Humanitarian Hawks,” an ode to the virtues of the Kosovo war, manages to cram so many lies and evasions into such a small space that surely it is a scientific as well as a literary and ideological wonder.
		Why do they continue to support a magazine that has betrayed the antiwar tradition personified by the original Mother Jones, the Commie labor organizer whose name they have appropriated: Saletan's ode to war would have sickened her.
		That none of this is happening means that, as a moral as well as a political force, the Left is as dead as a doornail – and will never rest in peace as long as Mother Jones continues to speak in its name.
