Iowa Congressman Says Christmas
story Was Never Credited
by Anyone.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-In the course OF
his remarks before the committee which In
vestigated the charges Of bribery for the
purchase OF the Danish West Indies Repre-
sentative Cousins Of Iowa had this to say In
generation Of the American and Danish
people, the American congress and the
press:
This is the Indictment which. according
to this report, Mr.. Christmas drew against
his own country and against himself when
he returned IL seems that he had fallen
out with everybody and was .discredtted by
everybody, except possibly by the gentle
man from Tennessee, assisted by the hon.
orable gentleman from Alabama, who, al
last, gave him SUFFICIENT credit to spread
upon our record the ludicrous and mon
strous charge which not only involves by
name two member OF this body, but Of
rectly impugn the honor OF the whole
American congress and the press.
Nothing in this report. nor in the facts
developed by this investigation. necessi.
tates a defense either OF congress or the
press, not even the assertion hat the prime
minister of Denmark expressed to Christ,
mas his adherence for the political situa'
ton In America, which makes IL necessary
to offer money in order to bring political
action" The American people suspect
neither themselves nor the United States
They know too we'll the sterling qualities
of the Danish people TO believe that any
high oficial OF that country ever uttered
any such unbelievable n preposterou,

and others an increase in wages, better
working hours, is pretty poor stick
of man." There is no neutrality for
wage-worker to stand upon; he must
be for or against the union represent
tative OF his labor. The simple fact
that the union exists, that the object
of it's existence is to secure benefit to
the class of labor it represents, and
that it's platform is broad and it's prin-
ciples praiseworthy, destroys all pos
sibility Of anyone maintaining a digni-
fled, honorable neutrality, while his
cola borers proclaim themselves as
union men and wear badge of their
trade union. Therefore, every man
must be for or against the union, and
if they attempt to remain neutral, it is
simply hypocrisy; in plain English Ian
guage, it is riding two horses-the en-
ployer and the union. Every SELF
respecting Wage-worker should be a
member of his trade union; neutrality
is cowardice. 1t is standing in the
world Of labor with arm extended and
| hand outspread to receive benefits and
at the same time keep sharp eye out
| for danger; if the benefits reach the
hand they are eagerly received. If
danger appears the extended arm falls
to the side and trembling footsteps are
| heard in a convenient alley-that is the
| way neutrality acts.
| There is another sort Of neutrality; ii
is that practised by the backslider; the
neutrality which prompts a man only
to pay dues to the union when some
thing substantial is in sight. Back

true blue union men speak contemp-

TRUST IN GOD.
Mine Owners Answer to Appeal of a
Christian Worker.

Mine Owners Answer to Appeal of a
Christian Worker.
People have the habit of looking at
things in different lights. President
Baer, of the Coal Trust does not rec
ognize that the mine workers have any
other right in the mines except to Sc
cure wages. Capital is necessary in the
development of a mine, but labor is
more necessary. What could capital do
without labor. Might as well not have
the mine, if there is no la Dor to operate
it. Labor is as important as the mine
ITSELF
He further says that God in his in
finite wisdom gave the control of the
mines to the present owners What
basphemy! If God had anything to
do with it. the mines would still be
the property Of all the people, as He
first intended it they should be.
Here is the press report of the above:
W1LKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 20.-W.
F. Clark, a photographer of this city,
recently addressed a letter to Presi-
dent Baer Of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railroad company appealing to
him as a Christian to settle the miners
strike. The writer said if Christ was
taken more into our business affairs
there would be less trouble in the
world, and if Mr.. Baer granted the
strikers a slight concession they would
gladly return to work and the presi-
dent of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad company would have the
blessing Of God and the respect of the
nation.
President Baer replied as follows:
Il see you are evidently biased in
your religious views in favor of the
right of the workingman to control a
business in which he has no other in
terest than to secure fair wages for the
work he does. I beg of you not to be
discouraged. The rights and interests
of the laboring man will be protected
and cared for, not by the labor agita-
tors, but by the Christian men to whom
God in His infinite wisdom has given
the control of the property interests
of the country. Pray earnestly that
the right may triumph, always remem-
bering that the Lord God Omnipotent
still reigns and that his reign is one of
law and order and not of violence and
crime

Attorney Generals Work.

Attorney General Murphy has every
state case before the supreme court
up to date, says the Little Rock Ga
Zettc. Every one has been bricfcd and
most of them printed. The latter is
the case With only those appeals which
are Of mere importance than the petty
trials usually appealed from Justice
courts. Even these he has briefed in
typewriter sheets The amount of
writing in these briefs, which in num-
Der amounts to more than 200. en-
braces enough matter to fill eight or
ten large volumes. This amount is
outside the writing of opinions for pri-
vate citizens and officials all over
the state. These opinions are not Of
hcial, nor is the attorney general re-
quired by law to give opinions to 9th
er than state and a few higher county
officers He has done so often from
feeling of courtesy, and this act
has cost him no less than $4,000 let
ters since he has been in office. The
usual number of opinions to private
queries a day is from fifteen to twenty
five. 1t is interesting to calculate that
if Colonel Murphy had been writing
novels instead of legal opinions he
would have added something like
twenty-five or thirty volumes to liter
ture. In this his only assistant has
been his daughter, Miss Bessie Muir
ply, his private secretary and stenog-
rapher
