ADMIRAL SCHLEY WILL
PAY HIS OWN BILLS

Knoxville Tenn, Nov 20.--Following
the report that the Court of Inquiry
would cost Admiral Schley $4,000, the
Knoxville Sentinel on Nov. IS sent the
admiral a dispatch asking if he would
consent to public subscriptions to pay
the amount.
Today the Sentinel received a per-
sonal letter from Admiral Schley, the
purport of which was that he cannot
accept the offer. He says the report as
to the cost is a mistake as the amount
is not so great. He suggests that the
matter is TOO delicate to discuss" and
trusts that his friends will "appreci-
ate his nOsition and respect it."

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
FIRE ON THE POLICE

Athens, Nov. 20.-The agitation of
the university students against the
proposal to translate the Gospels into
modern Greek has resulted, during the
past two days, in riotous demonstra
lions against two newspapers which
have been advocating such transla-
tions. Today the students fired on the
police. Troops were then summoned
and a serious fight occurred which re-
suited in the wounding Of a score of
cavalrymen and several students. A
political motive, connected with the
Slav propaganda in Greece, underlies
this religious movement The univer-
sity here is guarded tonight by the
students, who fear the building will be
occupied by the civil authorities.

Nobody knows what the situation is
but all agree that the fight is close
one Although only few more thah
500 votes were cast by the Republicans
of Ward three in the state election,
there will be more than that number
cast when the caucus adjourns tonigLt.
The result Of the Ward six caucus,
which elected the George W. wright
delegation to the municipal convention
over Alderman Lucian Il. Stone, was
another topic Of conversation and there
was considerable talk about steps being
taken to prosecute the person or per-
sons who sent out the scurrilous CIR
cular about Mr.. Wright. Many OF MI
WriRht's friends want him to take
steps to secure the arrest and conN.c-
ton of the party who did the trick
but he has not yet decided what ne
will do.
There was some talk yesterday about
Councilman Albert Z. Newton, who
was defeated IN the Ward eight eau
Gus by Henry Z. Dean, running as an
independent candidate at the polls, but
Mr.. Newton says he viii abide by the
decision Of the caucus.
The chances are that James Dona-
CHER who was defeated at the Dem
ocratic caucus Monday night for
nomination for Common Council in
Ward four. will run as an independent
candidate. His friends claim he was
beaten by unfair tactics and they are
trying to get him to run at the polls.
There was a lot Of serious talk yes

man from Ward one, as the Republic

Farm ECONOMY.

In the American Agriculturtst an in
dividual named William I. Phillips,
prints an article entitled "How I man
aged my truck farm" His truck farm
Is in Chautauqua county, New York.
We quote his own words:
Not only are. the parents employed,
but children five years and over work
from early morn until night. In this
way the larger. the family the greater
the income. Mothers in the field with
children only a few months DID,
The father, it seems gets all the
money earned by the wife and by the
little children who are kept working
all day.
When paid by the hour:
The men receive cents, the women
5 cents. the boys and girls according
to their age"
There ought to be some kind of a law
to close up this gentleman's truck farm
with oil possible speed.-Ex.

EARNING A. MILLION DOLLARS.
Through Means of Labor Of One Per
son During Life Time Impossible.

Through Means of Labor Of One Per-
son During Life Time Impossible.
Can a person earn million dollars
in life time. Let US see.
Labor Is human effort. Land is all
the elements and forces outside Of man
himself. Wealth is the result of the
application of the labor to land.
wealth therefore, must be material,
tangible, concreate.
In the light Of these definitions, which
accord with the latest and best political
economy, it seems clear, indeed, that a
million dollars must represent con-
crete things-buildings, cultivated
fields. animals, vessels, railroads, etc.
Let us be generous with the producers
and pay them the wages of congress-
men, viz, 5000 a year, and then they
years to earn a million dollars, to say
nothing about accommodating it. But
When we consider that the average
wages in this country Is less than $500
a year, it is only a question Of figuring
to ascertain how Tong one would have
to work to earn million, and say
nothing about his expense in the mean
time.
But 1t has been said that the average
production Of the worker in this coun-
try equals $1,000 a year. A million
dollars at these figures, requires the Ia
Dor Of one average producer 555 SO
years. This Is a good long time for one
person to work. And while it is a fact
that the rich live longer than the poor,
the difference can hardly be so much.
Let us assume that those who get
rich have greater powers Of production
than those who remain poor. And let
US assume further that the very rich
live long enough to enjoy 10 years in
the production of wealth. Each one
who accumulated a million dollars
would, therefore, have to produce $14,-
285.n year, or even more than seven
times an much as the average producer.
It IL impossible for any one person
to produce seven times as much as the
average producer; it is improbable that
anyone would have that sum given to
him by its producers; and If it is not
produced or given as gift, how is it
procured?
The conclusion is inevitable: The
rightful ownership Of million dollars
through the labor Of any one person ts
mpossible.-Joseph A. Labadie in De-
troit News Tribune.

UNIONS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. !:
They Preserve Individual Dignity
and Freedom.

ana CESSOOms
II unions are incompatible with indi-
vidual dignity: and Individual freedom,
why do we hear no outcry against. un-
ions Of capitalists and: business men,
or Of unions Of professional men? There
is no objection !: to copartnerships, to
corporations. to trusts, to the various
associations Of manufacturers; farmers,
merchants. lawyers. physicians and
teachers. = -.
We meet with no denunciations Of
political parties, which are nothing but
unions for the securing Of certain COM
mon ends through legislation, and the
control Of the government. Every So
: ciety, every club, has it's rules, bylaws
'restrictions'' upon individual action;
but because Of these restrictions" the
MANLY and Tree" Individual can not
join any one Of the existing organiza-
tons without surrendering his indie
pendence and dignity. This threadbare,
silly and ridiculous argument is, i'll
fact, never employed except in opposi-
ton to the effort at united action by
those who need 1t most. and who are
almost helpless without it. and whose
gradual Improvement absolutely de-
ponds upon 1t; that is, the wage-worker.
The charge that labor unions handi-
cap ability, discourage initiative and
put premium upon mediocrity and in
capacity il a gross and wantom false
hood. No man has ever been prevent
ed by unfonism from exercising his
faculties to the utmost and rising to
any position in the social-economic
hierarchy. The unions prescribe q min
imun1, not a maximum. Of wages; they
insist on q living rate. but where and
when they have prohibited an employ
er from rewarding superior skill and
merit? "'
