CHICAGO, August 29.-The red flag
which was to grace the procession to be
made Labor day in honor of Kier Hardie
the English socialist, will not appear, as
Mayor Swift today issued positive orders
against its being carried through the
streets. The mayor ordered Oscar Neebe
Michael Schwab and other socialist leaders
brought to the city hail. and warned them
against any attempt at display of the So
cialist emblem.
The socialists have the flag ready, and
say they will fly it at the big cpen-air dem
onstration Sunday, at which Hardie and
John Swinton' are to be present as guests
and speakers.
The Sunday demonstration is projected
by the socialistic labor party for the pur-
pose of opening the fall campaign for the
elections to the drainage board.
Police Inspector Fitzpatrick in speaking
of the matter, says: THE socialists will
not be allowed to unfurl any purely red
flag on the streets, and doubt if they will
be allowed to unfurl 1t at the grove. The
socialists have not applied for a permit to
march, and without such authority from
the city they could not march at ALL If
they apply for permit the red flag busi-
ness will be settled then and there. The
exact attitude of the police, however. will
have to be governed by the Instructions

Judge Wound Up His HiGh-Falutin'
Speech With n Brilliant Hit.
From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
North Dakcta's Col. Plumrner was in st.
Paul the other day telling stories. He tells
one about a judge that was shaken from
North Dakota to Mexico. and the people
down there, who tired of conducting their
own hangings, gave him welcome and
filed him up seven times week. One
night, after playing poker all night on the
losing side of the table, he walked into the
court with his hair pulling. He made up
his mind to surprise the Mexico boys.
There was a poor greaSer to sentence Tor
murder, and he let him have all he knew
right and left for an hour, and wound up
by saying:
But hope Is not for you. For you the
zephyrs will not successfully combat the
ice king: the prairie will not endue its car
pet of glory, and the little brook will never
go singing and bounding on its way to the
sea for the delectation of your soul: never
again will the mountains assume their
green crowns. and blossom for you. Jose
Marie Jararo, for
He looked about him. and saw the crowd
in court was staring at him wfld-eyed:
they had never heard him in that strain
before. Most of them thought he had gone
mad.
This won't do" he thought to himself.
''These people will think / am crazy. I'll
let 'em down easy" He fixed his eye again
on the prisoner.
These things are not for you. say: for,
Jose Marie Jararo, you will not be in 1t. 1t
is the sentence of this court that on next
you're dead-cuss your Mexican hidcr'
There was a sigh of relief from the
crowd. The judge had saved himself by q
timely return to the vernacular. And Col
Plummers auditors were so wrapt up 10
the story that they didn't hear the susgest
ton for an extra session.

er. that the meteorological part OF the Of

Gauntlet of Thought Critics Which

From Harper's Round Table
Very few publishers have either the time
OF inclination for a personal reading of
books in manuscript, and foi this work they
employ skilled readers. upon whose judg-
rent they can rely. Some houses thus re-
tain as many as six such readers, and very
often manuscript book must pass through
the hands II all these. taking its turn with
scores Of others, before a decision is reach
ed concerning 1t. Each reader hands in a
written opinion as to its merits and demer-
its. its chances of success or failure. Some
times. if these opinions are conflicting, the
publisher hands them all, together with the
book in question. to a seventh reader-a
sort of court of final appeal-and requests
him to write an opinion on the opinions.
Even if all the opinions are favorable, the
publisher may still refuse to bring out the
work in question.
There are a hundred sool rcasons for de-
clining t. publish a book. and the manu-,
script must run the gauntlet of them all

as dull as dish water. Thus an endless list
of mays" ifs and "buts" present them
selves, by any one of which the fate Of the
look may be Influenced. The one question
to which they all lead is: "Will it pay! If
so we will publish it; il not we won't

PROMINENT POLITICIANS CONFERRING
Mr.. Hurst Expresses Confidence in
the Result.
REPUBLICAN ASSERTION S

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, August 29.-The dem
ocratic state committee met at the Car
rollton Hotel at noon today, and a large
number of prominent politicians from all
sections of the state were present for the
meeting. The scene about the hotel cor
rdors this morning was one of some activ-
ity, but in point of attendance did not eN-
ceed the thrCns attracted by the conven-
tion last month. 1t was the original in
tention of Chairman Talbot to call the
meeting a week from today, but the signs
of discomfort among the anti-Gorman
members of the party and the general
lack of enthusiasm over the ticket induced
him to change the date for today.
Mr.. John E. Hurst, the nominee for gov
ernor, and Charles Crothers. for attorney
general. attended the meeting of the COM
mittee today, and were generally assured
that they would be triumphantly elected
in November. Mr.. Hurst appeared san
gGiEe of the success Of the ticket, which,
he said. he confidently expected to see win
the election. and he declared himself to be
not in the least alarmed at the indications
of a large democratic vote for Lowndes.
Senator Gibson and many other county
leaders are on hand, and vigorously deny
any possibility of the election going to the
republicans,although they admit the proba-
biiity of a more severe fight this year than
usual.
The truth is, the county democrats ad-
init that the situation is critical, and only
the most heroic measures can prevent the
election of Lowndes. Notwithstanding the
assertions of the democrats, the republican
leaders claim that Mr.. Hurst's friends fully
realize the gravity of their situation, and
they say that the announcement that Sena-
tor German is personally to conduct the
campaign, the fastening of the day set
for the meeting of the committee and ether
signs OF uneasiness are more significant
than their loud declarations of SUCCESS
The republican headquarters were filed
throughout the day, and the usual indica-
ttons of activity prevailed. Congressman
Wellington and the other leaders were
keeping close watch on the democrats.
