| sons who were willing to ask others
| To listen TO their tale Of woe. They

What do YOU think Of an industrial
system that after thirty years of trial
leaves thousands Of men, women and
children with nothing saved for a rainy
day? And yet that is just what protec-
ton has done for labor. The rates of
pTOLecUOn were raised from year 10 year
until it eliminated in the Mckinley law,
and this latter law is in effect scarcely
two years when II brings thousands of
laborers on the verge Of starvation. A
fine law for the favored few. but mighty
tough on labor.-Elwood Press.

4 special to the Express from Indian
apols Of the 18th says that Governor
Matthews has appointed the editor of
this paper for another term as trustee
Of the state normal school. When orig
inally appointed by Governor Williams
it was without any personal solicitation
on our part, nor have we applied in any
instance for a reappointment. 1t is
more gratifying in this instance than in
any other on account Of the fierce fight
made by the enemies OF the school against
the anagement.-Sullivan Democrat.
