That would smack too much of So

THIS is The WAY WE DO 1T SINCE
WE'RE REDEEMEDl

Sol Miller tells us how and why
the redeemers do things, and says
Redeemer Speer "Wss foolish to
squeal." Here is what he says:
There is one palliating circumstance
about Birds offense or rather one reason
why the kick against ii should not have
come from the source il did. The clerk
who made the complaint was John Speer,
who was receiving 1888 per month, but
Bird retained S16.66 Of il. speer was ap-
pointed, not because he was competent, for
he was unable 10 perform the duties Of his
office, but simply 20 give him place be-
cause he was poor, and was an old standby
and deserved something. We all approved
of ID, and were glad that he got the place.
But he was not qualified 10 difOharge che
duties Of the position. Ib was almost sim
eCuFe. he had no one 10 provide for but
himself, and che salary was big pay. Con-
sidering that he was receiving $1,000 year
for doing next TO nothing, but merely for
his beauty, he was foolish enough TO gqueal
because the man who was responsible for
the Office, and who gave hum the place, de-
manded $500 Of 10. We do not say ii was
righh, but then, if We were put upon oath,
we could not swear that il was exactly right
TO give man $1,000 position for mere
senbim enbality.
Appointments are not made b.
cause appomtees are competent but
to give "old stand.byes' a show. 0,
what blessed privilege it is to be

ital was discreet in it's omissions.
For instance, in one place this para
graph was thrown in:
After referring 30 the manner in which
corporate powers are secured and used for
dishonest purposes, Justice Brown said,
etc.
OF course it would never do TO tell
that.
After speaking Of the influence Of
wealth in sitting free discussion, or
in ''the purchase Of public opinion
by subsidy Of Che PRESS" there is
good deal of grim irony in his state
ment TO the class that @in dealing
with evils which threaten our future
tranquility, they ought to find an
efficient coadjutor in a free press."
They ought TO surely, but they will
first need to find the free press
They will not find il in the existing
great dailies Of the country; and they
will look for il in vain outside of the
weekly reform press. Will they use
it? How many, in fact; of the grad
uates of Yale will ever think seri'
ously of the questions presented to
them by Justice Brown7

JUSTICE BROWN TO THE YALE LAW
SCHOOL.

Associate Justice Henry B. Brown,
one of the Justices Of the United
States supreme court who dissented
from the majority in the late income
tax decision, delivered a most re-
markabIe address before the grsdu.
stes of the Yale law school at the
recent commencement. By some
kind of mistake a part Of this address
was published in the Topeka Capital
of June IS. The Kansas City papers
have not heard of it, and so of course
we cannot blame them for not pub.
fishing it. The Kansas City editors
ought to read the Capital.
This address is remarkable as COM
ing from the source that it does. It
evinces remarkably clear cOncep-
tion of existing conditions and of the
remedies that must eventually apply (;
and it evinces unussl courage IN one
occupying so exalted a judicial posi-
tion. The part Of the address pub.
lished in the Capital will be found
elsewhere in this issue. 1t contains
all Of the "VaRsries'' Of the maddest
Populism. The justice declares in
favor Of government ownership and
management Of railroads, telegrsphl
and other monopolies, and says that
this sis the tendency Of modern civil
izstion in nearly every highly civil
lied state but our own" He declares
that in our own country "great COR
porste interests, by parsding the
bugbears of 'psternslism' and social
ism,' have succeeded in securing
franchises which properly belong to
the public"
We cannot emphasize the strong
points in this address by their repe,
tition. The silence of the corpora
tion-ridden press concerning it is one
of the things to which we would spe
cially call attention. How it hap
pened to get into the Capital is {
mystery. That paper will have K

Crst Of July /, wants a word with the
editor of the ADVOCATE; and he calls
upon me to 'speak up" in answer to
certain rumors that have reached his
ear. I therefore hasten to 'speak
up"
D The report in the Associated
press dispatches at the time the Ma.
tional Reform Press association met
in Kansas City last February, SO far
as lt referred to me, was pure fab
rlcation. II had not the shadow Of q
basis to rest upon.
(2) The effort to betray the Peo-
ple's party into the hands of the
enemy has been limited to very few
political fxers, and the universal re-
volt against this attempt has received
such a rebuke that il has made the
fixers very weary. Their is no ocCa-
sion for any very serious anxiety on
their account.
(3) Concerning the awful crime
of uniting with leading republicans
to commit the Peoples party to the
support of David Martin, the repub-
lican candidate for chief justice, I
plead not guilty. / am not vain
enough to suppose for one moment
that / could commit the Peoples
party to anything. The Peoples
party is not composed of the kind OF
material to be committed to any
proposition by such conspiracy
as the colonel thinks he shifts in the
air. In the first place / am not yei
aware that Hon. David Martin is the
republican candidate for chief JUS
tice. The republican party has moi
yet nominated it's candidate, and it il
perfectly safe to say that if Boss lie
lands powers Of persuasion" pre-
vail David Martin will not be the
candidate. There are also many
murmurs Of discomfort floating about
that seem to emanate from the
sources that usually shape republi
can affairs.
Then, Ggsin, / am having nothing
to say or do with the candidacy o.
any man for the Office of chief JUS
tice. The state central committee oi
the Peoples party is expected K
have meeting soon at which tn
question Of nominating a candidate

The school boys in New York are
organized into an Anti-Cigarette
League, having over two hundred
thousand members, the boys them
selves being the officers of the many
Branches in The Grammar, Primary
and Parochial Schools. 1t has been
proven that cigarettes destroy both
body and mind, and the work of the
League is incalculable in arousing the
boys to a realize that if they want
to be strong. intelligent and able 10
make any headway in life they cannot
afford TO indulge in this pernicious
habit. Teachers testify that the cigar
cite smokers not cnly have i'll health
but are incapable of mental exertion
and invaribly belong to the disreputa-
bic classes, among whom are truants,
blockheads, etc. Physicians are also
pronounced against the vice, and the
crusade is growing in force. 1t is true
that some decent people smoke cigar
cites, but that does not make cigar
cite decent, and it is shame that the
vile thing is allowed in any house.

and Delaware have cigarette law,
but it seems to be weakly thing.

dangerous Mercy.

The Daily RepuJliean of Tuesday in
referring to Ex-Governor Reynolds
Jail delivery record is quite inclined to
commend his clemency and says:
"While one believes in carving out
the law 10 the fullest extent, another
believes that where the communit,
will not suffer from the abatement of
pains and penalties, it is right TO re-
store the prisoners 10 the liberty that
they have thoughtlessly folfeited.o
Does the Republican mean to sav
that it is thoughtless act to murder a
man In cold blood, or Il a. tie commu-
nifty will lot suffer from having red
handed criminals let loose upon it?
II is cause for regret and shame that
there should be a newspaper within our
borders that could give expression 10
such pernicious sentiments. Our yen-
cradle contemporary must have very
dim vision indeed not to perceive he
yiciousDess of such policy, and very
dangerous conception of justice to
condon policy that is condemned by
every lover of law and order.

And count it "such grevious thing"
That year on year should hurry by
And no gay suitor bring;
In labor's rank she takes her place,
With skillful hands and cultured mind;
Not always foremost i'll the race,
But never far behind.
And not less lightly fall her feet
Because they tread the busy ways;
She is no whit less fair and sweet
Than maids of oldcn days,
Who, gowned in samite or brocade,
Looked charming in their dainty guise,
But dwclt like violets in the shade,
With shy halfopened eyes.
OF life she takes clearer view,
And through the press serenely moves,
Unfettered, free; with judgement true
Avoiding narrow grooves.
She reasons, and she understands;
And sometimes 'tis her joy and crown
To lift with strong yet tender hands
The burdens men lay down.
