SAFETY IN BUYING SEEDS.

There is no other way to measure the
value of seed than by the value of the
crop. A good crop simply cannot come
from poor seed. Second-rate seed will
waste good land, good fertilizer and
good labor, and the crop won't pay ex-
penses. Now, as the practical farmer
cannot afford to waste time testing seeds
to find out whether they are true to
name, sound and clean, 1t stands to
reason that the only safe way to buy
seeds is to seek the protection of name
that has stood for reliability in the past.
The great seed house of D. M. Ferry &
Co., Detroit, Mich, has sold seeds all
over the United States and Canada for
the last forty-two years, and the steady
growth of the business is a sure indica-
ton that Ferry seeds have given salts

Benefit of Shorter Work Day.

Here is some good shorter work.day
testimony from the Galveston, Texas,
Tribune, in an editorial headed Shorter
Day, Same Results"
",The employing job printers of New
York are taking very narrow view in
resisting the demand for nine hour
day. They would lose nothing by the
concession, and they must make 1t In the
long run because reason anu good con-
science approve 1t.
1T Is the judgment of experience as
well as of philosophy that in the most of
trades, in most kinds OF labor, whether
physical or mental, man will do as
much work In nine hours a day, on the
average of the year, as in ten hours a
day, because there is a limit to endur-
ance beyond which effort Is vain. A
printer may put in ten hours at cOmpo-
sitiOn. and be ever so faithful, without
turning out more product than If he had
worked nine hours a day for the same
period. It is a question of how much he
can do, not of whether he be engaged
ten or nine hours. Many trustworthy
employers and observers hold that eight
hours is sufficient and will accomplish
the same results. The experiment Of a
nine ..our instead of ten hour day for
printers was made in this Office three
years ago. when the composition was
done by hand, and was entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t would have been the rule still
under the same conditions. Machine
composition hours are much shorter still
by general agreement throughout the
country, but there Is no argument on the
question of hours because the work is
done by the piece.
"As rule the man who works by the
day will accomplish fully as much for his
employer in reasonable hours as in a
day which taxes his energy, his patience
and his sense of fairness. Year by year
the short day gains friends, and the
whole current of labor Is irresistibly
setting that way, because it Is the better
and the wiser way"

To the Business and Professional Men Of
Topeka:
Topeka Typographical Union No. 1?l
Is making an effort to call the attention
Of the business and professional men of
Topeka to a matter of some Importance
to you and to u.s. The trades unionists
Of the city represent a portion of our
population that can be Of benefit to all
who will benefit them. They stand
ready to help you In your business If
you will help them in theirs. We believe
we can make common cause for each

to be inaugurated in favor of patronizing
those who patrOnize us.
There are in Topeka a number of well
established printing houses, list of
which is appended hereto, which hire
union printers, pressmen, and bookbind-
ers, and pay wages ranging from SIS to
S35 per week, and hire none but skilled
labor in the various departments. They
are either paying taxes on valuable
property or are renting large, centrally
located buildings, thereby being ben
eft to the city. These establishments
employ large number Of persons who
are heads of families, who are either
taxpayers direct or by renting. The
wages Of these workmen amount to hum
dreds of dollars weekly, most Of which
finds its way into the merchants till or
the professional mans pocket. Besides
this, the proprietors Of these establish

the interests of the city and always
ready to aid public enterprises. There is
another class of printing establishments

CONVICT LABOR SYSTEM.

"The evils of the convict labor sys-
tenn as conducted in many Of our penal
institutions of the several States are
only modified to q very slight degree.
However, the system now In the State
Of New York has proved to be the best
solution thus far obtained. That system
provides that conVicts be employed at
such work as to provide the necessities
for the maintenance of themselves and
The eleemOsynary institutions Of the
State. II is urged that system be ex-
tended to all other States as one of the
best means to solve the problem. In
the meantime we should endeavor to
secure the passage of the bill known
as the 0Nell BILL which. with slight
changes, would be of great advantage.
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION
Within the last year the evil Of
these injunctions has been more fully
demonstrated In the miners strike
injunctions were1issued made returnable
fully seven weeks after the writ was
issued, evidently with the purpose OF
Gripping the efforts OF the miners Off
cials, and our fellow uniOnists who CO.
operated with them, in the hope that
by the time the writ was made return
able the strike would be ended. Though
the injunctiOns were frequently ignored
and violated, the companies or the
courts deemed 1t prudent to avoid arrest
ing the men for contempt. It is but
just that the workers insist upon being
regarded as equals before the law, and
that in their activity to prevent in
fringement upon their rights, and their
hopes and struggles to maintain their
manhood, extra judicial proceedings
should not lie against them as is now
the case by the use, or, more properly
stated, abuse OF the powers Of the courts
in the issuance of writs Of injunction.
BOYCOTTs AND COURT DECISIONS.
Recently one of the branches of the
Federal courts decided by a majority
vote that the boycott is illegal. Whether
the decision rendered Is applicable to all
cases or simply to the one under i'm
mediate consideration has not yet fully
transpired. It is manifest that the
workers should have the same rights
which other citizens enioy-the right
which neither constitutions grant nor
courts can deny-the right to stand by
our friends. patronlze our sympathizers
and co-operators, and to withhold our
patronage from those who are antago-
nlstic to us and our cause; and the fur
ther right to acQuaint our people with
our preferences. While there is no de-
sire here to argue in favor of our rights,
we should demand the change of any law
which curbs the privilege and the right
Of the workers to exercise their nor
NAL and natural preferences In the
meantime we should proceed as we have
OF old.

WHAT STRIKES ACCOMPLISHED.
At the afternoon session Secretary
Frank Morrison read his report, which
was In part as follows;
AN effort was made to secure definite
information as to the gains and losses
unions sustained by strikes. While the
information obtained does not cover all
the strikes and lock-outs, yet the re-
suits achieved by those reported are
more than favorable to the strike as
weapon to be used when all other meth
ods fail to procure proper reward for
labor.
"A careful compiling of the reports
shows that 276 strikes were officially
noticed, involving 164,S72 workers, and
that out OF this number 1SY were won,
thlrty-one compromised and thirty
three lost. The number of persons ben
