New Years has come and gone and
down has come the Xmas decorations
that have cost SO much labor and money.
Nov there is Kalamity Thorpe, we have
not estimated just how much he did
spend for holiday decorations, but now
1t is all thing of the past. And right:
here let me say if any of Mr.. Thorpe's
many customers would like to know
how Kalamity came by his pseudonym,
just step in to Fay French's wagon shop,
and the story will be told in good shape.
We have often mentioned In our let
ters to the Democrat our friend and
neighbor, Mrs. WEIGH, who, if she lives
to zee her next birthday, will be one
hundred and two years old. Mrs. WEIGH
is smart and livelier than many a woman

her son, james WEIGH, and has the best

We attended the Republican conven-
ton held at the Court House in your
city and there was a crowd of fine look

smoothly enough until 1, forgetting l
was not in a Democratic convention,
arose and began a few words of good
old democratic advice; some one said
"ihst is an old Democrat, let's throw
him out" The motion was seconded
and the only thing that turned my hot
headed brothers minds from their evil
dent Intention to do me great bodily
harm, was an earnest appeal made by
my friend, r. R. Robinson. From that
on kept quiet and in that way steered
clear of the anger of the Republican

IT is surprising that women have
not taken to the wearing of sandals
ere this. The fashion is said to be
growing popular in England, and if
this is the case it will not be long ere
it crosses the Atlantic. The chief OBJ
lection urged against the fashion is
that it enlarges the feet - permits
them to spresd-but this, it is claimed,
is an error; the wearing of sandals
merely allows the feet their proper
development. 1t will invariably be
found that the person with neat. we'll
shaped hands has feet to correspond.
If allowing the feet to have the free
play that nature intended them to
have is apt to make them large and
ungainly, then sailors. who spend
most of their time and do most of
their work on bare feet, and who
hitherto have always been famous for
their neat and weIl-shaped ones. will
have to abandon their claim to this
coveted possession. Everyone will
allow that sandals are the coolest foot
covering for summer, but doubtless
most people will be surprised to learn
that they are the warmest wear in
winter II persons suffering from
cold feet or chilblains would wear
sandals over good thick wooden socks
they would soon find themselves
cured of these affections.

the Cleveland lake tunnel from which
the water supply of that city is de-
rived contains an appalling mortality
list. Within three years so men have
been killed from explosions and fire.
May IL. 1898, eight men were killed
by gas explosion; June IL the same
wear II were killed from the same
cause; Aug. IA. 1901. fire in the crib
killed 10; Aug. 20, 1901. explosion in

TRAGEDY AND ROMANCE.

There is enough in the life of JOS
eph II. Lewis, an inmate of the Sol
diers' Home at Fort Dodge, Kan, to
make a big volume of tragedy and
romance. When he was years old
his father, mother, five brothers and
five sisters were scalped and burned
at the stake by the Indians, he being
the only member of the family who
escaped. At q years Of age ne was
in the Black Hawk war as a member
of Abraham Lincoln's company.
Later he served through the Mexican
war, and had the honor, under the
personal direction of Gen. Winfield
Scott, of first raising the American
flag over the City of Mexico. Still
later he entered the civil war as q
member of the 10th Ohio infantry,
and was with Sherman in his march
to the sea- Mr.. Lewis is 90 years
old, but still hale and hearty
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-08-29

the time when new ones which might
fit the case can be enacted.
An attempt was made to stir the
attorney general up to proceed against
the trust under the so-called Sherman
law. The attorney general told the
antitrust people that he had no OIL
cial knowledge of any trust and that
they should 90 to work and get up a
case, if they wanted him to move in
the matter. This action was to have
been expected. The attorney general
very probably received his Job
through the influence of parties inter-
ested in trusts. Common steel work
ers had nothing to do with his APP
pointment. They were not consulted.
Doubtless. friends of the trusts were.
Preparations were also made to at
tack. by legal action. the policy of
the trusts in confiuing their non-union
workmen in barracks. and there were
other preparations for cases. to be
brought against the constituent COM
panies under the ANTITRUST laws of
Ohio.
The workmen can rest assured that
the trusts and thei. lieutenants have
not permitted anything of serious
danger to their interests to get into
the statutes of late years. The Sher-
man law is looked upon. generally.
as inadequate to reach the trust evil.
The Ohio antitrust laws never have
received the dignity of full test. but,
so far as tested, have proved to be
valueless.
What chance have the workmen,
when the trusts have practically Sc
lected the laws officers and seen to it
that the laws themselves are full of
Loles? No chance whatever, and the
workmen are simply wasting their
time and resources in fighting their
opponents with lawsuits. The entire
deck of legal cards has been stacked
against them. Their fight must be
m ade by the usual strike methods.
The laws officers owe their jobs to
trust influence. 1t was representa-
tives of trusts, not steel workers, who
were present when the law affecting
trust interests were enacted.
This is not saying that projection
against trust domination cannot be
secured through laws. 1t is the
protection. All the workmen have to
luO 10 W NOAC AAobSo0 "a
blindly and at the beck of some petty
party boss. 1t is not to be expected
4 that interests which have been voted
Especial privileges will fail to take ad-
vantage of those privileges. 1t is not
so very long ago that the Amalga-
mated association, almost unanimous
ly, was fiercely supporting the very
men and interests that are now sur
rounding the factories with barracks.
Special laws. made possible by the
workmen who are now desperately
trying to maintain a legal battle with
the especially privileged, have given
the trusts protection against compe'
tition that all the courts will hold &c
be founded on good law. The labor
side of the matter, the mems and
women's side, has no adequate pro-
lection. At no point in the law are
labor and the trusts on an even foot
ing for fight. 1t must be the old
form of confiict-human physical en-
durance against financial endurance
and wasting money in law suits il
playing into the hands of the trusts
Tor which the cards are already
/ stacked.
