STUDIES ASKS FOR WORK.

John Stubs is in a hard row of
stumps. He filed an application with
the board asking for some kind of
work so tha- he might be able Ito
keep body and soul together" Stubs
said he had been compelled to mort
gage his home. sell many of his books
and personal effects in order to obtain
the necessaries of life, and unless he
could get something to do would have
a difficult time keeping his head above
water.
Accompanying the letter was
lengthy disquisition on contract labor
and this was supplemented by a
batch of newspaper clippings contain
ing all the letters he had written on
this subject during the past few years.
These Stubs submitted to show that
he had been consistent in his advo-
cacy against the construction of public
works by contract.
The board will meet again this after
noon.

Fort Scott. Dec. 23.-According to
statement given out by United states
Postofice Inspector Mercer, of st. Lou
is. Charles Robinson, alias shorty
Rlacbev. who is now in Jail here charged
with the robbery of the pOstothce at
Nevada Mo. has one of the worst
records of any criminal in the country.
The prisoner is not a day younger
than 80 years, although he appears TO
be no more than 20
About two years ago, he, with a con
federate, was caught in the act OF ROD
bing dwelling house in Girard, Kas.,
but Robinson escaped, after being shot
twice in the back by the city marshal
there. After he had recovered suffi-
GENTLY to begin active operations, he
was shot in the leg by Captain Chester
of the Memphis railroad secret service,
who surprised him in the act of rob-
bing car Of merchandise, but he sue
ceeded in making his escape by drop
ping in the tall grass.
Robinson was next heard of at
MCundvilIe. Mo, where he and a con-
federate robbed the pOstOfice, secur-
ing a large amount of money and
stamps on the night of this robbery
Robinson stole a horse, rode to this
city. made a hasty call on his sweet
heart, gave her $40 and then left the
city. It was through this woman that
Robinson's capture was effected.
Next he was at Nevada, where the
DOstoffice was robbed. He was nearly
captured there a few weeks ago, but
escaped from a house when it was sur
rounded by officers and hid in a corn
field for five days during which time
his food was carried to him by a WO-
man who was infatuated with him
Last summer he was connected with
the attempted robbery of the bank at
Hume, Mo, and it was he who stole the
horse and buggy and drove to this city,
where the vehicle was discovered. He was
also one of the gang that attempted to

THE NEW POLITICAL FORCE.

The American Federation of Labor is
going into politics. It viii not enter the
political field in the sense of forming a
new political party which will have
committees and hold primary elections
and nominating conventions yet.
That viii all come later. as it comes to
every similar organization formed for
the purpose of advancing certain re
forms in which it's members are direct
Iy interested.
Nh. Gompers, the president of the
federation, announces in a letter to the
Rocky Mountain News that the pur-
pose of the new movement is to elect
the friends and defeat the enemies Of
the organization. If all the difficulties
lying in the way of such a course have
been considered, the fact does not ap-
pear in President GOmpers' cOmmuni-
cation.
1t is doubtless the present intention
of the federation to keep out of ma
chine politics but if it fails to drift into
the rut in a short tine, it will be an ex-
ception to all established precedents.
The Farmers Alliance is a striking
example Of an organization which was
started with the intention of electing
its friends and defeating is enemies
without becoming partisan. Its mem
bers soon discovered their inability to
accomplish the desired ends with other
interests making the nominations.
For instance, it became apparent in
1890 that Mr.. ingalls, was the candidate
of the Republican party of Kansas for
United States senator. That gentle
man was considered an enemy of the
Alliance faith. If the organization at
tempted to encompass his defeat by
succeeded, there was no assurance that
it would be any better off. It, there
fore, very naturally drifted into a po-
litical party with ali the regulation
machinery without which no party can
long exist.
There must be loaves and fishes to
keep up a political machine. and when
loaves and fishes come in, other con-
siderations are given second place.
The Alliance defeated Mr.. ingalls, and
elected one of it's own members in his
place, but where is it now? On it's
ruins has arisen a partisan political
machine Just like the others, no bet
ter. no worse.
The grange movement a few years
earlier met even a worse fate. There
is not so much as a political party left
as a mernento of its existence.
IL the uoLlllldLloilS OF DOln OlQ par
ties are dictated by Wall street, by
corporations and by interests inimical
to labor. as is often charged, and as is
doubtless believed by many members
of the American Federation of Labor,
how can the organization expect to
gain anything by throwing it's strength
to this or that candidate?
If the Federation has determined to
become an organized force in politics.
its downfall is inevitable, if history is
worth anything in forecasting the fu-
ture. If it does not act as an organ
lied force in politics, it can hardly ex-
pect to accomplish its ends.
The American Federation of Labor
may win d victory in death: it can
scarcely do so and live. The Alliance
and the Grange gave their existence
for the cause which they espoused. and
the Federation seems destined to pur-
sue the same course

Byron Gilbert Secures a Ver-
diet in an AtchisOn Court

Atchison, Dec. 23-Kansas' year old
lawyer has won his first case. Those
who doubted that there was such a
person on earth as Byron Gilbert, Z
years of age, attorney at law, should
have been in court here today when he
secured a verdict for his client just as
any other successful lawyer would
have done.
Several days ago w. D. Gilbert, an
Atchison attorney, went to Topeka to
transact some business in the supreme
court, taking his year old son, Byron,
with him.
While in court with his father Byron
correctly answered a number of legal
questions put to him by the judge, and
in recognition of his brightness, the
clerk of the court gave him a ceruh-
cate which was to the effect that when
he became practicing attorney IN the
state, he would be entitled to be ad-
mitted to practice in the supreme
court.
The New York World became Byron
Gubert's first client. Before w. D.
Casey, Justice of the peace of AtchlSOn,
Byron Gilbert's name appears as at
