Highest of all in Leavening Power-LatestU u S. Govt Report
Re-! R BsMassz
ABSOLUTELY PURE

better for the general welfare that they
work at something. But when the gov
eminent allows them to be taken where
their forced labor must dangerously IN
terfere in a contest between employer
and employees, in which no outsiders
have a right to take part, much less a
supposed to protect impair
tally all classes-a greatinjustice is done
which cannot be too strongly condemned.
Convicts should be self supporting and
should be allowed to arr money for
their families, but this might be done
without injuring free labor.
This common danger-the ever present
army of tramps and criminals, should be
carefully considered and dealt with. Co.
operation among all the "have naughts,"
Whatever tends to combine the interests
and sympathies of the poor, whether om-
ployed or not, is desirable. A spirit OF
protest against the custom of contracting
convict labor should be encouraged. A
state is disgraced that will ''scabR under
the very men it is supposed to protect;
the contractor who will use this cheap"
labor is worse than the criminals he en-
ploys.
We may thus, until we reach n mort
just and scientific arrangement of So
ciety, in which there shall be no armies
of idlers, parasites and manufactured
criminals, ameliorate or lessen the wrongs
and difficulties under which the real
workers suffer in the present.

1t is said that a Hebrew politician of
Hartford is very much opposed to the
sections educational meetings, and has
long been e~ndeavoring to break them
up. A few weeks ago he succeeded in
accomplishing his purpose. When the
members of the section and others who
came in response to a public invitation
reached the hall in which the meeting
was to be held, they found a police officer
on guard at the entrance and upon the
door a unique ~prohibitory notice, of
which n facsimile copy is herewith given.
There was no disturbance, those who
had assembled quietly dispensing. A
committee called upon the "Cheif of Po-
leice" to ascertain why the right of law
full assembly was prohibited by him
when that representative of law and or
der and intelligent citizenship said, al

to hold such n meeting on Sunday, and

The Cotton Picker.


Cotton is the downy fbrous substance

mnlvaseae.

cognized are three: Herbaceous, shrub
and trse cotton, and OF these the most
smportans is The herbaceous, iaeluding,
80 it does, sill the varieties cultivated for
commercial purposes In the Unitea
States.
The plant OF the upland or short
staple cotton OF commerce grows to d
height OF lie 70 8 feet, and bears dark
green leaves and flowers usually of a pale
ysllow. These flowers develop into tri-
angular pods which at maturity burst
open, revealing and exposing the white
down with which they are crowded full.
A field Of cotton at this stage presents
the beautiful appearance OF vast acre
age of snow. BY tho process now in uni
versal use, the contents OF every one of
these cotton laden pods, or bolls, must
be remsved by hand picking. 1t is evil
dent to the most inexperienced that ma
chine capable OF gathering this crop auto
msticnliy, with degree Of thoroughness
and at rate OF rapidity twenty fold in
excess of the highest possibilities of the
most expert hand labor, contains In itself
the solution of the labor cost pro blem
involved in cotton raising.
Such machine is OF far greater COM
nercial value than the reaper which has
built The vsst fortune OF the Mccormick
people. Ii fs of infinitely greater value
TO mankind shan the telephone, which
can never come into the nabitual use Of

tion to levy in some degree tribute
