"WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN"

One of the best performances seen at the Jacques opera house this season was the verdict of the audience when 1he curtain fell on Woman Against Woman last night. The play is a story of the vicissitudcs of young mar litd life i'll which the wife shields the faithleSS sister at the expense of her own happiness. The drama abounds in striking situations and is inter- Spersed with bright bits of comedy; i'll fact. the part of Phil TreSSidor is one of the most distinct comedy parts We have seen. rife cast is above the aver age. Miss Eleanor Barry played the part of the wronged wife with discre- lion and skill. Miss Dell EllerSon as the country hoyGen., who afterwards became the braZen woman of the world. gave a finished interpretation of q many-Sidrd character. Miss COlver- ney was excellent in the difficult part of the Wilful sister: Miss Neville was a good Mrs Barton. The Phil TreSsidor of Alex Vincent was one of the gems of the performance. The rest of the cast was good.

Have you ever noticed the kind Of
ropes the average drug store displays
and label them "cigars?" Have you
ever given the matter any attention?
No! Well, listen to a little logical
reasoning from one who thinks he
knows. Few drug stores keep in stock
a union label cigar, and for very good
reasons, a union made smoker is pro-
duced under healthy surroundings, by
clean. well paid workmen, and in sani-
tary shops; these conditions preclude
the possibility of the consumer of a
union smoke getting the one thousand
and one diseases that follow the smok-
ing of nOn-uniOn drug store rope, and
the consequence is that the druggist
desires to sell only such goods as will
bring him trade going and coming
The drug store patron smokes the
rope" from the druggist, and when he
accumulates enough disease from his
pleasure ca he must patronize the
same druggist to get drugs to get him
back in condition to go against the
disease breeders again. Don't go up
against game that you know is franz
ed up for you; you can always buy a
union smoker with the label, and when
smoking it you don't have to view
your pleasure through a veil of dis
ease and drug traps. Cut out the drug
store cigar, and invite your friends to
do likewise. Look for the label, then
You are right.

Workingmen are not organized for
aggressive purposes. They are organ
lied for self-defense. We deplore the
fact that labor unions are necessary.
We protest against the existing condi-
tions which compel us to unite our ef-
forts in order to make a respectable
livelihood possible. Remove the con-
ditions and our unions will disappear
Man is forced into this world without
his consent and society owes him an
opportunity to earn an honest respect
able living. No man should be per-
mitted to live a life that is not respect
able. The objects. of organized labor
are in harmony with preamble of the
constitution of the United States. We
organize for the purpose Of forming a
more perfect union, to establish Justice
between man and man.: to insure: our
domestic tranquility, provide for our
common defense against poverty, pro-
mote the general welfare and secure
the right to earn respectable living
to ourselves and posterity.

TRADE UNIONS MEAN PROGRESS,

1T we turn our eyes toward the past
we find all kinds of associations. Men
have associated according to the needs
of their time, for their protection or
to promote their happiness. But no.
where will one find associations resem-
bling organization Of laborers known
today by the name of trade unions.
Those resembling. them most were the
medieval trade organizations, the
guilds. While all members of a trade
were to belong to the guild, it will
easily be seen that the trade unions
since they, a recomposed solely of per-
sons of the trade working for wages,
show quite a different aspect.
Modern times showing themselves in
a thousand ways. agriculture, in the
manner of production. in transportation
as well as on land as on the seas, in
the exchange of ideas through the tele-
graph, the. telephone, ETC., have left
man far behind. The nineteenth GEN.
tury has not produced more men of
deep thought than it's predecessors.
The numerous wars and immense ar
maments in each country prove that
human sentiments have not become
purer. The manner of governing the
nations has not changed, since in the
most progressive countries, In the re-
publics, one finds the same customs in
politics as with the Romans 1000 years
ago. Slavery, instead of making room
for free relations among men, have
changed it's shape, has become more
general. The wage system is but a
new slavery. The old state of society,
with it's masters and slaves, has made
! room for modern society, with it's en-
ployes and employers.
In view Of these indisputable facts,
trade unions are the principal organ
lied power working successfully with
in the bosom of modern society for a
change in the mutual relations of men,
in accordance with the progress of the
new order of things.
The changes to be made for the re-
generation Of the world must in the
first place bear on the laborers, on
those who sweat and suffer in the
workshops, on farms, in mines etc.
1t seems that nobody can assist, much
less save them. If they do not do 1t
themselves. For this reason their yoke

LIBERTY OF LABOR,

Unorganized labor is the timed,
crouching, servile instrument of capt.
tai, yielding it's head and extending it's
neck to the yoke of the master. Unor-
ganized labor stands before the Ameri-
can people as a pitable example of that
old saying that Necessity knows no
law" They have become so hungry
and so naked that to Salty their inn
mediate physical wants they are per-
fectly willing to sacrifice every mental
and moral want, not only of them
selves, but of their posterity, even to
the fourth generation, and all other
generations. Unorganized labor pro-
misses to the people of the United
States nothing, except In the final ana
lysis, a condition of labor not unlike
that of China and India.-Hon. John

ueVOut, courageous, was needed that
Charles head might gently drop into
the useful basket and England be own
ed by her people.
But every man, whatever his own
early disadvantages, can work to give
better education to his children. He
can vote for those that help the schools
and fight against those who attack
public schools.
The beauty of education is the puck
ness with which it does it's work. Illi-
terate Nancy Hanks sees to it that her
boy, Abraham Lincoln, goes to school
|regularly-and she lives forever as the
mother of a great man.
It takes ten generations of foolish
ness to make a dissipated duke, good
for nothing. 1t takes only one genera
tiiOn of teaching to make the most USE
full of men.
Encourage your children to read
good books. Talk always of better
public schools when the political boss
with his shining hat comes around for
your vote.
This nation can spend in one year
two hundred and fifty millions chasing
a war STAMP tax
Let us have an education stamp tax.
Let us spend few hundred and few
thousand millions in hunting ignorance
out of this country.
Let us have in the land twenty years
from now fifty millions of really we'll
educated men and women.
Education, discomfort, intelligence
and the courage that comes with think
ing will take care of many of our pro-
blems.
Fifty millions of educated men and
women would not pay forty millions a
year to any Rockefeller. They would

and apply to him the treatment that
wild animals understand.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TRUSTS,

Trust the people-the wise and the
ignorant, the good and the baldwin,
the gravest questions, and in the end
you educate the race, while you secure
not perfect institutions, not necessari-
~ good ones, but the best institutions
possible, while human nature is the
basis and the only material to build
with. Men are educated and the state
uplifted by allowing all-everyone-to
breach their mistakes and errors. The
community that will not protect it's
humblest, most ignorant and most
hated member in the free utterance of
his opinions, no matter how false or
hateful, is only a handful of slaves!-

THE CAPACITY OF MAN.

The most important piece of news to
laboring men that has been announced
for years comes from England in the
form of determination on the part Of
the large employers Of labor to exter-
inmate labor unions. The principal
point of attack is going to be made on
the idea that standard days work
fixed by the unions is below the capa-
city of the average man." This means
that all of the employers regard the
laborer as a machine having such and
such capacity, and that the man, or
machine, just as you like, must be
forced to work at full capacity all the
time. This antoganism between the
employer and the laborer has existed
for all: time. The employer assumes to
judge what is the capacity of a. man;
the man is determined to himself de-
clare what is his own: capacity. Thus
in England we find trades unionism so
strong that it is able to force it's men,
bers to strictly observe the eight-hour
day. This eight hour day is now at
tackled as being below the capacity Of
man. Who do you think, gentle read
err, is best able to judge of capacity
the man who actually does the work,
or the man who hires it done?
Let's look at it for a moment from
the standpoint that a man is machine
with a stated; capacity. and we will
say for the sake of argument, that his
capacity is ten hours a day of constant
and incessant labor. Is it wise to work
him always to his full capacity? Is a
locomotive engine always worked to
it's full capacity? Is a printing press
with capacity of 1000 an hour requir-
ed to make 10000 impressions every
day? In other words, can a man MAN.
tain his hour capacity for ten success
sive hours? For fifty-two consecutive
weeks? No. And if this were attempt
ed, would 1t not revive the methods of
the task-master of the slavery times,
who stood over the unfortunate man
with whip? The admission that the
English workingman is working ''un-
der his capacity" is the greatest COM
pliment that could possible be paid to
the humanizing effect of trades union
ism. 1t is an admission on the part
of the opposition that the trades un-
ions actually accomplish what it sets
out to do. And we may say that Or

great ideal will not and cannot be

The true measure Of man is not
the street, nor the amen corner in the
church, nor the forum or lodge room,
but at his own firesde. There he lays
aside his mask and you may learn
whether he is an imp or angel, king or
cur, hero or humbug. I care what the
world says of him, whether it crowns
him with a jewel or pelts him with
stale eggs. I care not copper what
his reputation may be. If his children
dread his home coming and his wife
swallows her heart every time she asks
him for anything. he is fraud of the
