LABOR AND IT'S FRIENDS.

1t will eventually appear that The Wash
ington Times has stood by the bestinterests
of organized labor in tue District OF Co
lumhia first, last and always-and, indeed,
has cbampioncd the cause of the work
ingman whenever it has appeared as
national issue.
The Times takes. or desires no credit
for its course in this direction. 1t main
tains this attitude because it believes that
in the great body OF the real producers
lies the safety OF the nation. 1t believes
that the men who work with their hands
are essential to the body polite. 1t main-
tains that the men who do are the men
that are. 1t stands for real work and
actual accomplishment against personal
conniving and partisan affiliations.

practical and monetary proof of its DO
sition in this attitude towards its own

the man who makes is co-equal TO the

1t is source OF great gra atification
to this paper to know that its efforts are
recognized IN spite Of the attempts Of
rival concerns, which vainly seek to emu
late its methods and duplicate its mar
yeious growth in circulation.
The Times tells the truth and 1t stands
for the right 1t cannot be dismayed,

CLEMENCY VS.. JUSTICE


While the condemnation to death of John

man. and he is more than apt to cCme to
the conclusion thar more flies can be caught
