BRYAN ON LABOR TROUBLES
Opposed to Destruction of Pro-
perty and Life.
OUR PEOPLE ARE LAN-ABlDlNG
Legislation Only Can Supply
the Remedy.


Sedalis, Mo-, Sept 1G.-Wiliam j.
Bryan spoke to nearly %, 600 people at
the fair grounds last night, excursion
trains bringing visitors from all the
surrounding towns. In an interview
he said:
"Those who have suggested the burn.
ing of property or the obstruction of
life as a means of settling lGbor dis.
putes, do not understand the genius OF
our institutions. The American people
are law-abiding people. When laws
are bad they will change the laws.
Lincoln was right when he said that no
one could better be entrusted with the
enforcement of the laws than those who
toll. The toilers will respect the rights
Of property, and tho people as a whus
will insist that corporations shall also
respect the right of life and liberty.
1.-THE injunction has been called in to
Gid the suppression of strikes, and
since the strike is at present the only
weapon Of employees. the injunction he
comes tho most useful means by which
the employers can force their own terms
on employees. Legislation and legisla
tioD alone can remedy this evil. Arbi.
erHtion secured by law, tho elimination
by law Of government by injunction,
will secure the only Just ana satisfRc-
tory remedy for the growing troubles
between labor and capital. "

Life We've been 50 long together,
Through pleasant aud through cloudy
weather,
It's hard to part when friends are dear
Perhaps Twill cost a sigh, 4 tear.
Then steal away, give liltle warning,
Choose thine own tune,
say not goodnight but i'll some brighter
cline
Bid me good morning.
Too soon @ no. tits best to die
Ere all of life save breath is fled
Why live when feelings, friends and hopes
Have long been numbered With the dead
fpr human tears are lava drops,
That scorch and wither as they llow
Then let them How for those who live
And not Tor those who sleep heoS.
o, weep for those whose silver chain
las long Deen lOusel, and vet live on.
The doomed To drink of life's dark wave
Whose golden bowl has long been gone
Nv weep Tor those, the wrnried worn
Dragged downward by some earthly lie.

Who loaih to live, yet fear to die.
