Gracious and Cicero vainly strove and
died for the right of the people
against the power of the ring" repre-
scented by Sulla, Pompey and Caesar,
until in the reddening dawn of the
birthday of the Christian era, the
Roman republic, after struggle for
nearly 500 years, was forever extln-
guished at the battle OF Actium.
Compressed into moral the lesson
thus taught may be expressed in two
words-trusts, expansion. Trusts"
whereby great riches are concentrated,
until the offices Of the government are
filled at their dictates, and public OFF,
GERS are their manacled slaves.
TRUSTS" whereby the rights OF the
people are taken away, their holdings
confiscated by the slow but sure sys-
tenn of taxation and usury, and the
standing army is the only refuge from
penury. Trusts" and tramps, the tan
dem team of imperialism. Trusts nat
urally breed expansion. For when the
trusts have drained dry the sustenance
Of their own people, they must have
new fields to deplete. Expansion means
large standing armies, for expansion
and conquest are synonymous terms
and conquest means the sacrifice OF the
lives of thousands of our own people
in order that the trusts may gather
into their insatiate maws the property
and riches which God has given to the
people of other nations. Trusts, ex-
parsion. large armies, the three IN
separable, insatiate and inevltaole
forerunners of imperialism. Gov. Ste
phens of Missouri, in st. Louis Speech

The Old Hunting Coat.


A thing of stiff canvas. dirt spotted and
torn
Soled corduroy collar; huge pockets
that tote
The game: and its fabric Is crumpieu
and worn:
Yet memories cling to the old hunt
ing coat.
Its color OF tan with the ground smooth
ly blends
And frights not the timid and sharp
sighted game;
BY delicate thread its lone button sus-
ponds.
Untouched by the hand of the unsee-
Ing dame.
On the sleeve light feather seems des-
tined to say; =.
The scent of burnt powder around IL
doth cling;
And its pockets conceal but motley "r-
ray
OF pine and tobacco, shells matches
and string.
And many II night 1t has pilloweu inc
That rested in peace meath sheltering
tent
That on some streams banks, tree-pro-
tected, was spread 81,
Where few but Dame Nature $ wiz
creatures e'er went.
All, II It could speak! 1t would eagerly
tell
OF long. GREATNESS chase through inc
thicket and thorns
In pursuit of the elk that fought nopiy
and well.
But whose antlers the old hunting coat
now adorns.
Or perchance it would whisper OF morn
ing's sharp chill.
And hidden boat in some lake al
daylight,
And speak of the silence, and cen Oh
the thrill
That it felt when the canvasback start
ed the flight.
Or yet 1t could speak of the faVori'e
camp,
Where the brook makes sweet music
and soft breezes blow
| And the odor of frs and of wild How
| ers, dew-damp,
| And the leaping of trout where 'n'
slender weeds grow.
The broadcloth may scorn 1t. the wool
| en- may sheer.
! Aristocrats they. keeping always re
mote;
Yet none of them offers the comfort an'
| cheer
| And happiness found in the old hunt
| ing coat.

Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation Of LABOR, was
witness before the industrial commits
sion at Washington recently. Speaking
of the union label, Mr.. Gompers said
that there were 81 different organiza-
tions now using the label, and that it
was growing in popularity very rapid
". He defended the boycott as legal
and proper weapon for the working
men. holding that what he had a right
as An individual to do he was justified
in uniting with others to do. MI
Gompers said that organized labor
views trusts simply as their employ
ers. There had been cases in which
the organizations had been benefited
by combinations of capital. 1t was too
early to decide whether men would be
more steadily employed by the trusts
than by other employers. He had
found that these combinations had
more influence in securing legislation
than had unorganized capital. He said
the world-long struggle between the
employer and the employee would go
on. The only question was whether
IL should be carried on in an amicable
way, each side making concessions. or
whether it was to be bitter and costly.
He did not agree entirely with the
declaration that the interests of the
employer and the employed were iden-
tical. He took a position against CO.
operative schemes, saying that expert
ence mad proved that laborers secured
no greater advantages under them
than under the wage system. He had
no fear of the future for organized
labor. The condition of labor was bet
ter today. than ever before, and he
attributed the improvement to the in
fluence of organized labor. He esti-
mated the strength of the American
Federation of Labor at 100000 per-
sons, but he said this did not repre-
sent the total strength of organized
labor, for the reason that certain Or
CARNATIONS. like the railway brother
hoods, were not affiliated with the fed
Grafton. Mr. Gompers favored an
amendment to the constitution fixing
a maximum of eight hours per day for
| labor.

Gleason White, the brilliant art
critic was sitting writing under the
chestnuts in Ravenscourt Park, when
along came a British workman in cor

down alongside of him, says the San

proceeded genially to give the writer
valuable information about fighting
dogs and the beer at adjoining pubs,
to which White replied politely as long
as possible. His patience exhausted,
he continued his writing. After a

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION
The Growing judicial Infamy OF. the
Century.

century.
Years ago Charles Sumner, the pro-
found statesman and eloquent defender
Of the sacred rights Of man, said: Let
me say here, that l hold the judges,
and especially the Supreme court of
the country, in much respect, but l am
too familiar with the history of judi
cial proceedings to regard them with
any superstitious reverence. Judges
are but men, and in all ages have
shown a fair share Of frailty. The
worst crimes of history have been per-
petrated under their sanction. The
blood Of martyrs and Of patriots, cry
ing from the ground, summons them
to judgment"
These words were true when uttered
by Charles Sumner, and they are true
today, and they are being freshly evil
denced by the illegal acts of trucking
and tyrannical federal judges, in the
merciless enforcement Of that crown
ing judicial infamy of the century. and
which we have denominated Govern
ment by Injunction"

liberty was ever lost 1t would be
