THEY ARE AFTER TEDDY.
Chairman Gordon has had printed and
widely circulated among the working peo-
pie of the city the following circular,
quoting Mr.. Roosevelt on the American Ia
bOrer.
IN February. 1883, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, writing IN the Century Mag
azine about his pet cowboys, said:
Peril and hardship and years of long
toll, broken by weeks of brutal disspa-
ton, draw haggard lines across their ca
ger faces, but never dim their reckless
eyes nor break their bearing of self con-
fidence When drunk on the villainous
whiskey of the frontier towns, they cut
mad antics; riding their horses into the
saloons, firing their pistols right and left,
from boisterous light-heartedness rather
than from any vic:ousness, and indulgins
too often in deadly shooting affrays,
brought on either by the accidental con-
tact of the moment, or on account OF some
loug-standing grudge, or, perhaps, because
of bad blood between the ranches or To-
calities. But they are much better fell
lows and pleasanter companions than the
small farmers or agricultural la
,urers: nor are the mechanics of great
city to be mentioned in the same BREATH
MIR. BLLYsON BUSY.

Yesterday from Hon. jona Goode. n wltc.I
