Or9anized Labor and Trusts

Whatever consumers may think of
trusts, the union workingmen appear
more and more to look upon these
great industrial combinations as desir-
hble rather than otherwise. President
Eompers of the American Federation
of Labor takes this view and gives his
reasons for it in the Independent. He
says the labor organizations have
new strength because the combinations
Of capital are subject to a new weak
ness. The idea of the industrial com
binations is to organize all the fac
tories in each branch of business into
one great producing machine, setting
apart this mill for one part of the pro-
duct, that mill for another part and
30 on. This closer organization con-
duces to economy, but it also makes
the industry more vulnerable. An ac-
cident or a strike in one mill or in
the factories devoted to a certain mart
Of the product will stop all the other
mills and reduce the trust to a mass
of silent and inert machinery, one part
being so dependent upon another In
this fact Mr.. Gompers sees a reason

When win the World be Fun.

Without asking counsel of Malthu
sianism, but merely by applying the
nineteenth century average of increase
to the future, Mr.. ]. Holt Schooling
announces in the July Cosmopolitan
that "the world will be full" in the
year 225O, at which time it will be in
habited by $4,000 billions of persons,
averaging 1000 to the square mile.
This good-humored prediction, how
ever. based on the assumption that the
rate of l per cent per year of increase
in the population of the earth, which
obtained during the last century, will
continue indefinitely, is only incidental
to several important and presumably
reliable deductions concerning the
movement of the earth's population
during the last century.

A STARTLING Pronosition.

A startling proposition is made by
the author of work called the Boxer
Book" just published in Chicago. The
writer believes that there is a yellow
peril and black peril and a red peril
and after showing that the dark races
increase much more rapidly than the
white races, urges the gradual ex-
tinction of the former by the whites.
He thinks the blacks should be con-
fined to certain zones placed under
white rule under international law and
then exterminated by gradual process
of humane laws applied by "the fittest
race" as the author puts it, A secret
organization having its origin in the
universities is said to be urging the

A Kansas paper says an old citizen

this, it is impossible to decide. The
memories of old men play them sad
tricks sometimes. They sincerely be
lieve often that they heard at first

at all. But whatever Mr.. Lincoln may
have said or thought of the execution
of John Brown, he certainly disap-

G. w. LATIMER.

G. w. Latimer, catcher for the Fort
Wayne club, was born Nov. 80, 1875, at
Williamsburg, o., but learned to play
at Cincinnati. His first professional
engagement was with the Austin club
of the Texas league in 1898, but that
organization disbanded in May and he
then signed with the Dayton club OF
the Interstate league, and that season
he participated in fifty-three cham
pionship games with the latter, rank
ing high as a batsman, having a per-
centage Of .307
At the close of that campaign the
Louisville club claimed his services, but
the Dayton people filed a protest with
President Young and the National
Board was again called on to decide
the matter. 1t awarded him to Louis
vile. He was one of the players turned
over to Pittsburg when the latter
club purchased the Louisville outfit
He was retained by Pittsburg until
May, 1900, when he was released to the
Syracuse club of the Eastern league,
and continued with its team until June
27, inclusive, when, after taking part in
twenty-seven championship games, he
was released. He was next signed by

Lieutenant Taylor's friends point
out that his name does not appear in

the first information as to the insur-

while acting Captain at Pomtabangan
that he intercepted the four Filipino
messengers carrying orders that re-
vealed their chiefs hiding place. He
received a letter of thanks from Gen
eral Funston at the time, but his
friends are not satisfied with this par
tial recognition, and believe he should
have received credit in the official re-
port for his work in connection with
the capture.
