The only reason Mr.. Chalmers seems
ito have had for disliking Mr. Banning
was that the firm of Banning 4 Ban
ming had once taken a ease against
his company and won it. no antagon-
iZe q company or trust in which Mr..
Chalmers is interested and to win the
case would certainly be grounds for
prejudice on his part. The manner
in which he is attempting to use the
law to deprive workingmen of rheil
rights as American citizens in the
present instance is proof of that.
"When Mr.. Chalmers wished an in
junction to restrain laboring men from
appearing on the public highways
about the plants in which he was in
terested he went before his friend,
Judge Kohlsaat, and prayed for all
injunction. That injunction was grant
ed and it is regarded among laboring
men everywhere as one of the most
dangerous blows ever struck at the
working people. 1t is perhaps the
most sweeping measure ever issued.
Union men have been restrained before,
but never have they been denied the
privilege Of doing picket duty when
strike was in progress. ALI labor
unions declare that violence ON the part
of their pickets is not tolerated and
hat picketing is right and necessity
to the preservation Of their unions.
They claim the granting of the injunc-
ton in the first place was an injustice
and the denial by Judge Kohlsaat of
a speedy hearing an outrage.
at is to he regretted that Mr..
Chalmers, when he felt the need of
an injunction, did not go before some
other judge, for no matter how fair
and honest the court may be, the ask
ing Of such ruling from one in whom
Mr.. Chalmers has shown such warm
personal interest is overstepping the
bounds of good judgment, at least,
and must work an injustice some
where, perhaps to the judge himself"
The laboring men are themselves to
blame for being handicapped by Judge
Kohlsaat in their contest with the
Allis7 Chalmers syndicate. They voted
for Mckinley when they knew that
he was owned body and breaches by
the corporation magnates. To tell the
truth, we are beginning to believe that
the strikers do not deserve the sym
pathy bestowed on them for acting so
foolishly on election day. Some Of
them, however, are getting their eyes
open. On Labor Day in Chicago, Judge
Hanecy, renegade from his national
ity and creed, while making speech
to the working men, was charged with
signing the injunction against union
strikers at Il piano factory, and though
he vehemently denied the accusation
he was continually interrupted during
the delivery of his address. Working
men have to be more independent as
voters if they expect proper treatment
from politicians and their appointees
on the bench. They give am equiva-
lent in muscle and skill for the paltry
wages they receive in a year of pros
perity and are under no obligation to
vote for the candidates of trusts for
any office. They must cultivate self
respect and vote according to their
honest convictions. Then they will
refrain from participating in torchlight
professions at the bidding of bosses
and become worthy citizens of a grand
and glorious republic.

PASSING OF KlpL1NG.
The P6et of Imperialism Has Lost His
Popularity.

The Poet of Imperialism Has Lost His
Popularity.
The London Times, in it's issue Of
July 20, published a poem by Rudyard
Kipling, entitled "The Lesson" en-
bodying the idea that Great Britain
has learned from the war that her mill
tary system is all wrong, and has had,
in the words of one line, GAIL her most
holy illusions knocked higher than Gill
deroy's kite" Following are the ca
bled lines:
1t was our fault, and our very great
fault, and not the judment of
heaven; !.
We made an army in our image on an
island nine by seven,
Which faithfully mirrored it's makers
ideals, equipment, and mental at
titude,
And so we got our lesson, and we
ought to accept it with gratitude.
We have spent some hundred million
pounds to prove the fact once more
That horses are quicker than men afoot
since two and two make four.
And horses have four legs, and men
have two legs, and two into four
goes twice
And nothing over except our lesson,
and very cheap at the price.
It was our fault, and our very great
fault, and now we must turn it to
use.
We have forty million reasons for fail
ure, but not a single excuse.
So the more we work and the less we
talk the better results we shall
get,
We have had an imperial lesson; it will
make us an empire yet.
But yesterday and the publication Of
Kipling poem was an international
literary event, an occasion for an al
most unanimous chorus Of praise. To-
day, it is scarcely an exaggeration to
say, "The Lesson is received with
''groans and hisses." The parodists
and paragraphists fell upon it with in
tent to kill. The Commercial-Adver-

The Existing Currency.


Having presented as above the defects
Of our banking system in their larger as
poets, I venture now to speak Of that i'm
portant medium of exchange designated the
currency, meaning by that word paper
money, whether issued by the government
or by the banks under the powers conferred
upon them by the law. Excluding treasury
notes of $780, now in course Of extinction,
silver certificates and gold certificates,
which represent actual coin held for their
redemption, there are now extant In the
public service 346,000O00 of government
notes (greenbacks) and little more than
$50, 600 900 of national bank notes. Neither
called money-real money. They are alike
promises to pay, and their value rests upon
the ability of the maker of the promise to
perform the obligation set forth in the
promise. Under the provisions and condi-
tions of the law as 1t now stands. the limit
in volume of these obligations is substan-
TALLY reached.
ut is apparent that unless conditions
change or legal restrictions be modified,
the country's supply of paper money cannot
be responsive to any material increase In
demand. AT this point It Is also wise to
keep in mind that our population, now ag-
gregating about 78.000.00O. will In the next
fifty years increase to a probable 100000
000 II the present volume Of paper money
is no more than adequate to the present
population and to current domestic trade
1t Is evident that timely provision must be
made for q possible increase to meet the
enlargfng requirements OF larger popula-
tion and increasing trade. The question is
not remote: 1t is immediate. II. then. It

FATE OF THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
To be Settled Today I'm n Conference of
Democratic, Popalisr and silver Re-
publican Senators.

Washington, January 30.-A confer
ence of democrats and their associates
of the populist and silver republican
faith will be held tomorrow as result
of the declaration yesterday by Mr..
Frye that he intended to push the con-
sideration of the ship subsidy bill to
the exclusion of all other business. ex-
cept by vote of the senate. This con-
ference will determine the fate OF the
bill If the opponents Of the measure
decide to continue stiff fight, and de-
bate the measure at great length, it
will mean defeat at this session, with
the short time remaining to pass the
appropriation bills.
Some of the opponents of the bill on
the democratic side feel that If the re-
publicans are determined to pass the
bill the minority should not go further
than to state their objections rully and
vote against, but let the republicans
take the responsibility which is theirs.
No one wants an extra session and
that will be avoided If there Is any pos
sible way of doing so. 1t is even said
that the Spooner bill will be passed in
order to avoid such session. Republi-
can leaders say that they believe an
extra session can be avoided. They also
say that the democrats must decide
whether they will take the responsible
fly of defeating the subsidy bin and if
they are ready to take that response
