The Professor Of Labor Ethics.

Some new thing is always
coming out of the University of
Chicago or going into it. 1t has
been reported lately that persons
vaguely described as "labor men"
are going to found at DR.. Har-
per's University chair of ethics
and moral philosophy considered
from the "labor" point of view.
Mr.. Walter Vrooman, who found
ed or helped to found labor col
lege at Oxford and another one at
Trenton, No., and is responsible,
If we are not mistaken, for the
Success Club of Kansas City and
some engaging college "yells," is
said to be the originator of the
project for the professorship. The
funds are to come from the
"labor men," but, perhaps, even
people who can prove no right to
that exclusive title would be glad
to contribute. The, ethics and
moral philosophy of some of the
'labor men" must be strange and
interesting compared with other
systems. Inferred from practice
the labor moral philosophy may
be somewhat like this:
First-The right to work be-
longs to union men only.
Second--Work that a union man
gives up must not be taken by a
non-union man, under penalty of
a drubbing or of death.
Third-"Scabs" have no rights
which a union man is bound to
respect.
Fourth Contracts are made to
be broken. They bind the en-
ployer, not the employee.
Fifth-The employers must not
be allowed to employ whom they
please.
The bee., 1901-09-26

Sixth-Obey labor leaders all
ways; other authorities when
they don't conflict with the COM
mands of the former.
Seventh-Strike because you
are told to.
Eighth-The duty to the union
is greater than the duty to the
family.
Ninth-Never sympathize with
your family or yourself. Save
your sympathy for strikers.
When they have quit work, quit
work yourself by way of helping
them.
Tenth-Never learn anything
by experience.
We hope to see these and SINH
lar formulas expounded and
Illuminated by the professor of
labor ethics and moral philoso-
ply, if such a man there is to be.

GOV. BRADLEY ON ANARCHY.
Better Glass Should Rise in Majority and
Demand Enforcement Of Law.

In speech on the subject of
anarchy before a meeting of
Louisville gentlemen recently
Ex-Governor w. o. Bradley said
in part, as follows:
"There is no man in the land i'm
bued with the spirit of humanity
who did not regret the death of the
President and whose heart did not
go out in sympathy to his suffering
widow and all those who had been
special objects of his affection.
II have noticed a disposition to
place the entire responsibility upon
foreigners whose teaching in their
native lands was vicious and anar-
chistic. While it is true that such
foreigners live amongst us, it is
equally true that in assassination
they are merely initiating our own
people. The spirit of anarchy is
largely abroad in our land. Such a
spirit inspires the turnpike raider,
the whitecaps, the disturbers of po-
litical gatherings, the corruptionists
who stifle the voice of the people
fairly expressed at the polls, the
lyncher who burns at the stake
those who are afterwards ascer-
tanned to be guiltless. The spirit of
anarchy inspires all these. 1t can
not be denied that such unlawful
conduct has for some time disgraced
this fair land, nor can it be denied
that assassination has become COM
mon in many localities of the coun-
try.
"The great need at last is the en-
forcement of the laws we have, and
If the better class would rise in their
majesty and demand the enforce
ment of the laws, it would go fur
ther to give protection than any
other step that could be taken. The
trouble is that the best citizens too
often fail to do their duty because of
a lack of time on account of busi-
ness engagements. To these men
we must look for hope and protec-
ton, and until they awaken to full
realization of the demands of the
hour there can be but little hope of
betterment."

Speaking of the failure of the steel
strike, Bradstreet's saws:
although the delightful fiction
of responsibility resting with the
constituent companies was quite
we'll preserved, the men were con-
fronted for the first time in their ex-
perience.with solidlylorganized op-
position possessing power of To-
calizing the disturbance and of at
tacking in detail which has been
enjoyed by no other similar concern
or organization of concerns. That
the corporation did not choose to
really force the fight, but was con-
tent to let the strike fall of its own
weight, is no disparagement of the
of the strength possessed by the en-
ploving interest. That the mems
organization had no real financial
strength, and that the aid of other
labor bodies could not be secured,
was no fault of the corporation
against which their efforts were di-
rected, while the failure of the men
to make the strike general one
east and west was merely another
example of insufficient cause for
striking and of bad leadership lead
ing TO worse results.

THE CAPTURE OF pEKIN.
New Spectacular lnovation introduced in
Buffalo Bills Wild West

1t has not been long since Buff
falo Bill and his Wild West ag-
gregation were giving spectacu-
lar productions of the Battle of
San Juan. 1t was an imposing
sight and pronounced one of the
most elaborate affairs that has
been seen in the open air. This
year, Messrs. Cody and Salisbury
have, after much detail, sue
ceeded in placing successor to
that famous Santiago scene
which is acknowledged to be the
most elaborate war diorama ever
attempted.
1t is called the Battle of Tien-
Tsin or the Capture of Pekin.
In this enormous production the
allied powers Of the United
States, England, Germany,
France and Russia are seen to
assemble in grand review pre-
vious to the battle. Side by
side, shoulder to shoulder, step
by step, the allied armies ad-
vanced to the conflict at Tien-
Tsin, in the same friendly spirit
of rivalry begotten by the mimic
warfare of this character first in
augurated by Col. w. F. Cody
Buffalo Billy, under whose di-
rection the entire entertainment
is supervised.
Having in this remarkable
manner anticipated history it
seems fitting that the most STIR
ring events of that unique cam
paign of the allied forces should
now take its place as a leading
feature of this years educa-
tional exhibition, 1t is more
than appropriate that this should
be the grateful task of this or
ganization, since it is the only
one which includes in itself the
personnel of the various armies
of the allied forces, and is thus
enabled to present accurately the
and equipped SOL
dierly, veteran members of the
various armies engaged in that
campaign, in all ''the glittering
pomp and circumstance of an

This elegant production will
be included in the performances
given in Hopklnsville, Oct. 4.

COUNC|LMEN HARvEYS.
Home Struck by Stray Bullet From Union
Camp. .
LADIES HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.
Farmer Shot At--Citizens on Road See
Bullets Kick Up Dust.

Hot bullets have been, during
the past week, served up daily
and nightly for the citizens OF
Madisonville who live in the
vicinity of the union camp, OF
even at quite a distance from IT,
thanks to the long range guns
there accumulated, and to the
disregard for life and property
that rules in that camp of out
laws.
A farmer who drove a white
horse, resembling the one owned
by Mr.. l. Bailey, manager'of the
Reinecke mine, was fired at from
a union gun as he was driving by
that mine Saturday morning, and
took quick refuge from the sing
ing bullets. The same morning
Henry Beard, a clerk, while rid
ing his bicycle to the mine was
shot at and heard the bullet sing
over his head. The same morn
ing two shots were fired at
Messrs. l. Bailey and M. B. Ray
as they drove up to their mine, ,and
two policemen who were going
toward the mine were also fired
upon. One bullet passed through
the engine house, passing within
three inches of the engineers
head and battering its steel
jacket against the. brick wall be-
yond.
The terrible experience of Mr..
Witherspoon's family is told in
another column. Houses in Bal
leytown have been repeatedly
riddled with bullets. The resi-
dence of Mr.. Jno. B. Harvey,
member of the city council was
struck by stray bullet. Two
young ladies, daughters of MIR.
Feger, mine foreman of the
Reinecke mine, while driving
between home and the mines got
in line of fire and heard bullets
fall around them, and they saw
men with guns hidden in bushes
near their home. A prominent
Madisonville merchant is re-
ported to have returned hur-
riedly from his COW pasture
Monday morning after getting in
line with falling bullets. Two
gentlemen driving near the
mine Tuesday saw the spat of a
bullet in the dust near them.
Monday morning everybody
who showed up in the neighbor-
hood of the mine was shot at.
Mr.. Frank Ramsey, who was
last week held up by union men
with Winchesters, is one of the
deputies who answered the sher-
iff's call for help to defend the
Reinecke property, and he with
other citizens have faced this
fire for days.
So many incidents like those
related above have happened
that they cannot be kept track
of. 1t is time troops or some
strong arm of the law were
brought into action for the sup
preston of this lawlessness.

From Bullets.
HOME NEAR UNION CAMP.
Most Of Shooting at Reineeke Men and
Citizens Done From These
Premises.
EXCITING BEGINNING
TO HONEYMOON.

Mr.. Granville Witherspoon,
whose home place in the north
west portion of Madisonville has
been used as a place of ambus-
cade by the outlaws camped first
in Burton's Grove adjoining and
now on the land of John Knight
west Of the Witherspoon place,
has moved his family from home
and taken refuge down town.
Mr.. Witherspoon's farm and even
his wooded lawn which slopes
from his residence to the street
in front of his place, has been
used by men from the union
camps as the hiding place from
which nearly all of the firing up
on the Reinecke mine and upon
miners, citizens and officers has
been done.
Much shooting had been done
around and from his place for
some days, but the performance
of Monday morning capped the
climax. This was the mornings
work that precipitated Judge
Nunn's message to the Cover
nor, giving it as his opinion that
troops were needed to preserve
the peace.
When the union men opened
fire that morning upon po-
licemen and upon the deputies
stationed at the Reinecke mine
there were some twenty-five or
more men on Mr.. Witherspoon's
front lawn shooting from behind
trees, and two men with Win
chesters walking around near the
house watching the windows.
A large number of shots were
fired by these men and many
empty rifle shells were found in
piles here and there ON the lawn
after the men had gone back to-
ward camp. A friend of Mr..
Witherspoon reports that gentle
man as saying that some one
with a long range gun got a line
on the fellows in his front yard
after the shooting began and
dropped few bullets over in the
grove, apparently from the
mines. When this began the
union men dropped over on the
ground and crawled away rap
idly, These men were mostly
negroes.
On Saturday morning Elmer
Witherspoon visited his father
and found the family terrified.
He walked out across the farm
and when he got into the woods
on the north side he was con-
fronted by five negroes with
Winchesters who, when asked
what they were doing there,
cursed him and said they were
running things" Mr.. Wither-
spoon told them they were tres
passing and ordered them off.
They told him forcibly that it
would take more than one man
to put them off. All were
strangers. He went down town
and reported to Judge Num- and
the county judge and county at
torney. Returning home WITH
out help he got a gun and hunted
through the woods but found no
one there.
On Sunday night Mr.. Elmer
Witherspoon and Miss Inez
Deane, of Darlington, were mar
RED and Mr.. Witherspoon took
his bride to the home of his par.
ents to spend a few days. The
honeymoon was begun under very
disquieting circumstances
