The poor are not growing poorer and the rich richer, as l shall prove from recent sta tistics compiled by one of the most emi- nent authorities in the world-Hon. Ed ward Atkinson, of Boston. I pity the man, Mir. Chairman, who would ques- tion the honesty. independence and fairness of Mir. Atlxinson''
 Mir. Atkinson is no longer an idol. He has come into disgrace, along with Tom Reed, Eddy Hale, Georgie Hoar and other numerous members of the republican pantheon. He has been charged, as was the most sublime philosopher of the ages, with the com mission of political crime. He is cor rupting the youth of the nation, and hyssop.
 His tracts, pamphlets and miscella- neous pieces, heretofore held in the highest regard and receiving the com mendation of the profound Mckinley, the literary Hanna and the New Jersey trusts, are now barred the mails, and, like Mahomet's coffin, suspended in transit.

 You don't believe, being an Ameri- can, that one can commit treason by be ing honest and telling the truth. You gre not familiar with recent develop. ments and are unacquainted with the Dreyfus case. You are not aware that man may be thrust into outer dark. ness for criticising the reputed head oi l the nation, as in Germany he may be arrested and imprisoned for question ing the divine and godlike characteris i tics of the kaiser. Mir. Atkinson may corrupt the youth of the country and the soldiers in the Philippines with the facts and figures of the last congress l sional and senatorial history as culled i from the columns of that wide-awake and truthfully sensational sheet, the Congressional Record, but no wort must be uttered against the immaculat, | gentleman who rules the empire ant the illustriors coterie of Atkinsoniar economists who surround him if h, would save himself from everlasting in fanny and disgrace.

to discriminate against volunteers and for regulars"
 In many other ways the correspond ents' legitimate freedom of expression is hampered and the Philippine news service interfered with. The develop ment is new in American history-it seems to be a consistent phase of im- perialism and miltarism, of wars of ag- gression and conquest waged in distant lands. The iron hand of the profession al soldier is felt in a way that is full of menace to the best interests of great and peace-loving republic. ''I want you to understand" said the American cen- sor in the Philippines, "that this is a military despotism. We do not recog- nize that anyone except the army has any rights"
 When the people of the United States learn the full facts of army autocracy in the Philippines the sentiment against imperialism will crystalline into sudden and most material substance. The peril of military dominance has been swift to show itself in the far east. It will be promptly recognized by the people. They will see to it that the necessary correction is administered. Under a republican form of government there are many other interests besides "the army" which have rights that must be respected. The public press, always she safeguard and the informant of the peo- pie, is one of these interests.-St. Louis Republic.

Origin of n Modern Cheer.

A man named Adams has been inves tigating the mysteries of the pyramids and monuments of Egypt and has found the phrase "Hip-hip-hurrah' among the early hieroglyphics of that country. The only consolation deriva- ble from this remarkable discovery, the London Telegraph observes, 'is the ar. gument that may reasonably be de. duced that the presence of these Brit. ish words among the etymological treasures of Pharaoh land give us a priori right to the whole of the Nile val. ley. And this theory is strengthened by the fact that, according to Mir. Adams the hieroglyphic "Hip-hip-hurrah' means, when translated, "On, oa. to plunder. Inter Ocean.

Birds That Play

Some birds. like all children, like to
play. and Australia and New Guinea
produce the ''bower bird. which builds
regular playhouses. These houses are
not a part of their nests. but are con-
structed usually in the shape of covered
archways of little boughs two or three
feet long. 1S inches high and about as
wide. They use these houses simply for
their games. as if they were clubhouses.
Generally these playhouses are decorat-
ed with bright colored shells and feath-
ers, just as children decorate their play
houses.

Federation Leader Says Labor Will Some
Day Refuse to Make Implements.
Boston, March 22.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor was tie principal speaker at
the peace meeting held in fremont
Temple under the auspices of the Good
Citizens Peace society. Mr.. Gompers
referred to the position of organized
labor on the question OF expansion. and
said:
If it was right for the founders of
this government to fight for free gov
ernment. it is not today right to fight
against it. We are today fighting
against the only Asiatic country that
has ever made an attempt to establish
a Republican form of government, and
we are today seriously considering TAX
ing part in a plan to divide up China,
because it will help our trade.
A Fomenter of Trouble.
THE organizations of labor recognize
that a large standing army is a menace
to liberty and a fomenter of trouble be-
tween man and man. If peace cannot
be secured in any other way. the time
is coming when federated labor will re-
fuse to make implements that are in
tended to strike down their fellow men;
when shipbuilders will refuse TO con-
struct vessels Of war: when sailars will
refuse to navigate ships Of war, and
when all workers will refuse to con-
tribute their labors in any way for the
slaughter of their brethren. wherever
they may be. There is a treaty being
formulated by the union workers Of
Great Britain and America, which will
make peace necessary without the in
tervention Of governments. There has
never been a conference of workers that
has not declared for tranquility and
peace"
