The Coe-Lenox foot-bal game was
great disappointment to the Coc
delegation. They confidently expect
ed to win the game without giving
Lenox a single touch down. They
came boasting that they were the third
best team in the state, and their coach
was conscientious enough when, before
the game, he heartily sympathised
with the friends of Lenox. He was
known to remark that he did not ex-
pect Lenox to win against such team
as they had brought, but that they
would not work for very large score
against them. At the end of four min.
utes after the game had begun, and
Lenox had scored her first touch. down
and goal, the coach was excited. When
1t was all over and Coe had done moth
ing for her reputation, and Lenox
stepped up to receive the crown, the
foot ball trainer was pale with despair,

PLOT TO STAY LOUBET.

Discovered. vt
London, Oct. 29.-The Nouveliste dc
Lyon says plot to assassinate Presi.
dent Louhet has been discovered.
1t appears that working electrician
named Couturier burglarously entered
the electric company's premises AT
Mines, stealing $500 francs. He was
tracked to Orange, near Lyons. where
he was arrested. Documents found
on his person revealed, the paper says
an anarchist conspiracy to assassinate
President Loubet on his coming to
visit Lyons to unveil monument
erected to the memory of President
Carnot. Couturier is said to have com
mitted the burglary III order to obtain
funds to carry out his project. He
has, it Is added, confessed to the pc.
lice, who are now tracking his accom-
plices and watching anarchists in or
der to prevent any attempt to carry
out the scheme.

Two Anarchists Compared.

The man would be dangerous an
archist, who would say to thetrust man.
ager, If you vote for Mckinley and
succeed in electing him, / will burn
your factories and deprive you and your
associates of the power to make the
great profits which you anticipate.
But compare this man with the trust
manager, who.says to his workmen, If
you vote for Bryan and Bryan is elect
ed, will close my factories and de-
prive you of employment and the
means of earning aliving. Now which
one of these two men is the greatest an
archist, the greater enemy to society?
The man who would burn factory
building would unjustly deprive its
owners Of property rights but, it is not
probable that the families of such own
ers would suffer for necessaries on
account of the loss of the building, or
be driven by want into lives of crime.
But how would it be with the thous-
ands of workmen and their families,
who would be deprived of employ ment
their greatest property right, and in
many instances of their sole depend
ence for a living? The man who
would wantonly bring such q misfor-
tune upon community, or even
threaten to do SO, should be treated
as an enemy to mankind, as an an
archtst of the most dangerous class.
If the factory building should be
burned by an anarchist it would
spring up again in few weeks, prob
ably more commodious than before,
and society would not be loser; but
If the workmen, the wealth producers
of the factory town or city are de.
graded, driven out of employment OF
DISTINGUISHED, society is attacked at its
most vulnerable point and q crime
against representative government is
perpetrated.
II matters not whether his offence
is listed in the statute books among
the crimes against the rights of suffer
age, the mill boss OF trust manager
who threatens to deprive his work
men Of employment, if the candidate
of their choice is elected to the presi
dency, is an anarchist and danger
GUS enemy to representative govern
ment. He is a thousand times more
dangerous than the ordinary bribel
or repeater because his opportunities
for misconduct are thousand timer
greater.
The worst feature, however, of thu
trust managers threats is the way il
which their nefarious work is approx
ed by the political party to be benefit
ed. Newspapers that are working 70
the reelection of Mckinley are quot
ing approvingly the threats of tn
trusts and sending them broadcast OF
their mission of intimidation.

Ing crowd of over 1000 of the little
fellows gathered in the hall when
President Mitchell arose to receive the
badge, which was placed on him by
Winnie Phillips, ten-year-old lad who
| made n clever speech. Mitchell was
much affected. and 1t was some mo-
ments before he could pull himself to-
gether sufficiently to speak and thank
the boys.
From Breaker 10 School House.
The badge contains on one side a
picture of breaker Joined by the word
"To" with school house, the idea be-
ing that President Mitchell is laying
the foundation for the taking of the
breaker boys out of the breaker and
putting them in school. Following the
meeting there was a big parade of the
breaker boys over the principal streets
OF the city.
