Tobe's disappearance did not create
much of stir on the farm. His mother
went but the old man said that it was
good radiance. But after a long time
the neighbOrs saw that the PatterS,
farm was spreading. and when asked how
he could afford to buy so much land, the
old man replied: "Oh. Tobey sends home
bundle of money now and then, and
am buying the land for him."
One day the walls of the village made
the startling statement that "Patter-

to the laborer what capital ia to the
employer; and without trade-unionism
we would not feel that there could be
any real freedom of contract between
the laborer and the employer Freedom
only exists when those on either side
are free to accept or reject the terms
that are offered. To secure that free
dom Is the object of trade-unionism,
because it recognizes that in order to
have fair bargain made each party
to the bargain must be on footing
of equality"
The labor organization not only
helps those who belong to it, but 1t
also helps those who are not members.
For even those on the outside share to
a greater or less extent in the better
wages, the shorter hours and the more
favorable conditions secured by the
labor organizations. If unions or fed
erations make mistakes 1t must be re-
membered that perfection Is not to
be expected in any work of human
hands. The good done by these organ
izations far outweighs the errors which
they have committed.

why do you always dress your two
daughters allke?' queried society
woman of a friend. 1T must be a
great deal of trouble, and, as they are
not twins, it is not necessary"
WELL" answered the other quite
frankly "it is because of the effect.
My girls are rather ordinary looking
not plain; in fact, rather pretty, l
think-and with fairly good figures,
but quite unnoticable in their appear
ance. If one were in brown and the
other in blue on the street no one
would ever give them second glance,
but dressed alike, they look really dis
tinguished. 1t is the same in ball
room. When they go in together In
pretty, fresh gowns, they accentuate
each other, so to speak, and the SIM
plest toilet becomes striking. A pink
bow by itself is a pink bow, and moth
ing else, but two pink bows become i'm
mediately an arrangement. You see
that idea eXemplified on the stage in
a ballet. 1t is the repetition of dress
that gives the effect. If the dancers
were in different costumes it would be
lost completely. OF course, as you say,
it is a bother to have everything to
match, and when one frock is ruined
that renders the other useless, too.
Still, I think it pays."-New York

A LIVING FOUNTAIN.

From the Commoner: jeremiah gave
to literature beautiful and striking
figure when, in charging the children
of Egypt with apostasy, he said
They have forsaken me, the foun-
tain of living waters, and hewed them
out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can
hold no water"
One is reminded Of this forcible SIM
lie today when a large number of our
people seem inclined to turn back to
To compare self-government with an
arbitrary form of government is like
comparing a living fountain with
broken cistern. When the people are
recognized as the source Of power the
government is perpetual because the
people endure forever. The govern
ment then responds to their desires and
conforms to their character; 1t can be
made as good as they deserve to have
and they are satisfied with it because it
is their own handiwork. If it has evils
those evils are endured because the
people recognize that they themselves
are to blame and that it is within
their power to apply any needed rem
edy. A government resting on force
is, on the other hand, ever unstable
because 1t excites hatred rather than
affection and is continually at war
with human nature; 1t is in constant
antagonism to that universal senti-
ment which is defined as the love of
liberty.

Confederate Reunion.

The reunion OF Confederate veterans
which meets in Memphis in the closing
days of May promises to be the most
successful gathering in the history of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive
to the situation and have promised to
do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
so that the thousands of strangers
may be taken in hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate of one
cent mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents of all
lines interested and it is certain that
the joint passenger association will
authorize the rate.
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised
by the citizens of Memphis so that all
visitors may be assured of a good time.
All Of the subscriptions so far have
been voluntary and one Of the most
notable was that of Robert R. Church,
a representative negro citizen, who
contributed check for $1,000. Church
was born slave in Mississippi, and
after the war removed to Memphis.

PROSPERITY BY "INFLATION.'

Bryan and the Democratic party
were denounced by the Republican
press and politicians for advocating an
imitation of the currency" which, 1t
was urged, would be ruinous to the
people by lessening the purchasing
power of wages through "fifty-cent
dollar" Yet, under Republican rule
the currency, has been inflated from
S1,5S2 100000 in 1896, to S2,O23, OOO, 900
in lsOO-nearly one-third, or 80 per
cent. The result Tor, at least, Sc
quence) has been a degree Of prosper
lty; and then the Republican press
worked this prosperity claim (what-
ever there was OF it being the direct re-
suit of the imitation they so vigorously
denounced in anticipation as a reason
why their candidates should be re-
elected. That is, they denounced in
fiation in prospective in 1896, and in
1900 claim credit for the results which
followed a policy opposite to that
which they advocated. The same re-
suit would have followed the free coin
age of silver which has followed the
addition Of 1912 1000 to our gold cur
rency through new mining discoveries.
Hence, the inference is clear that had
several hundred millions more been
added to our currency by the free coin
age of silver, or its coinage in unlimit-
ed quantities through government pur-
chase without limit, the prosperity
would have been correspondingly great
er. Thus, the logic of events has COM
pletely vindicated the silver advocates.

MILITARISM AGAINST PENSIONS

The following press dispatch from
Berlin will be read with interest by
pensioners:
"Today's debate in the reichstag up
on resolution submitted by Herr
Nissler, conservative, to amend the
pension laws, so that every veteran of
the wars of 1864, 1866 and 1901 who
Is an invalid and unable to support
himself would receive 120 marks an
nually developed into a terrible ar
raignment of the government. Speak
ers of all parties, conservatives, ma
tional, liberals. centrists and even So
cialists, declared their willingness to
vote for adequate pensions and CEN
sured the government for constantly
ignoring this debt Of honor, unworthy,
as one speaker said of country which
had embarked on a world policy. 9th
er speakers declared that the attitude
OF the bundesrath in steadily refusing
to provide pensions was inexplicable."
AS the burdens Of militarism in
crease government which rests upon
force finds 1t necessary to choose be-
tween the army Of the present and the
soldiers Of the past. 1t can better af-
fighting days are over than to ALLEVIATE
those upon whom it must rely for flu
ture assistance. Liberal pensions are
possible with small military estab-
lishment, but hardly probable when
the resources of country are drained
to support large body of professional
soldiers Commoner.

"DEALINO WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA"
(From the Chicago Times Herald, on
-. 1okI, 10nt

(From the Chicago Times Herald, on
Jan. 18th, 1901
The citizens Of the Dominion Of Can
ada have just cause to be proud Of
their record as law-abiding people. The
annual report Of the criminal statis-
tics OF the Dominion. which has a
population Of over 5000, 900, shows that
there were only twenty-five indict-
ments for murder in 1899. Of which
only two were left without final action.
Eleven of those indicted were hanged,
nine acquitted and three confined as
insane.
Canada Is a country OF vast proper
lions. Its people are scattered over a
wide stretch OF territory, making po-
lice surveillance particularly difficult
and in many districts impossible. Yet
a city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes a far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancou-
yer.
The Canadians ascribe their immu-
nifty from crime to the promptness
with which punishment is melted out
to offenders. When a man Is caught
red-handed In the act of robbing an
other he is not released on straw bail
by some Justice Of the peace from the
slums. to go out and repeat the offense.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out to
criminals Of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians of the public
peace succeed in bringing thug to
the bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him second time.
Furthermore, there are few court de-
lays in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases over there There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die OF old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method Of treat
ing with wrong-doers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend to them. The extent to
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all.
The above. taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald, gives
some idea Of the immunity from crime
that exists in Canada. and this Is one
Of the many inducements held out for
Americans to settle in the district
known as Western Canada. The sea-
son Of 1901 will see few new sections
of the country opened up for settle
ment. They are attractive in every
respect. 1t is understood that one Of
the best Indian Reserves in the famous
Valley Of the Saskatchewan will be
opened up this year, and an invita-
ton is extended to those desiring
homes to make inquiries. The price of
the land is said to be nominal. Be-
sides these lands. the several railway
companies have lands to sell; also the
government. For particulars write to
the agent of the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere.

Unimaginative exactness-so the
Century dictionary defines liberalism
may not always be the highest form
of truth, but commercially it has COM
pensations. Some American manufac-
turers recently sent to their German
agent ten thousand show-cards in
which their agricultural machines
were drawn by tigers, driven by an
airily attired goddess Of liberty. The
agent returned the cards with the crit
icism that neither in Germany were
tigers available nor adapted for draft
purposes, nor could such women as
work in the fields afford to dress as
seems to be the fashion in wonderful
America.
