Mr.. Meyer is noted as hard work.
er. During one fortnight, in pre-
pairing for his journey to America
and other places, he has not gone to
bed before five in the morning and
he has been about again between six
and seven a. m. He breakfasts at
eight, works again until luncheon,
has an hour or two's nap in the after
noon, dimes at seven and works up
to midnight all the year round.
On his journeys across the Atlantic
he works even harder than when
within the seclusion of his own study,
because he finds that the bracing sea
air assists him in putting more vigor
into kis. work. Mrs. Meyer says:
''The pen to my husband is like the
brush to the painter. Away from his
devotional duties it acts like mag
net on him and he really seems to
find in it his only recreation"
Mr.. Meyer is one, of the kindest
and most accessible of men. No one
has ever approached him on any rea-
sonable subject without obtaining an
interview, and in this way he often
incurs the displeasure of his domestic
circle by leaving table in the middle
of neal to hear the story of some
wayfarer or to give his advice on
some disturbing question. He neith-
er smokes nor drinks, and it is de-
claredss by those most closely assoc
ciated with him that pens, ink and
paper attract him more than the
most carefully prepared cuisine.
During the ten years he has been
at ChTist's church the congregation
has almost doubled, and it is now
2,40O. In connection with this church
there gre 16 schools, attended by
5000 pupils, demanding the attention
of 400 teachers, who. give instructions
in elementary andN advanced knowl-.
edge. There are gymnasiums and
other training establishments for the
social and physical Improvement of
the children attending these schools.
Mr.. Meyer has assisted 1000 pris-
oners to reform and obtain honor
able employment in England, Amer
lea and the colonies. Dr.. Pierscn,
who came from the United States to
succeed Sturgeon, fills his pulpit
while he is away.

Prodigal and Elite Baron in prime con-
dition for good beat after two warm
fing-up miles. AS he flashed past the
wire getting away the senatorial
watch snapped sharply. 1t snapped
again as the colt passed the quarter
pole and came bearing down past the
railbird's roost, where his owner is
seated. "He's going good-gaited this

but somebody knows bush that the
experts snap on and never miss it. up"
says the caller; snap goes the watch,
and "1oA" is what the senator an
nounces. Rea takes the colt down to
the three-quarters in 1:45A and home
in 2:19 fiat. "A good mile for the time
of the year," volunteers one of the rail-
birds. Eyes, sir, he's pretty fair

waits for another youngster to appear
you can hear him calling out to the
trainers as they pass jogging. their
charges: whats that youngster

mons mare" mice going thing, yells
back the senator, and so goes until Rea
appears with another colt. When the
last one has finished it is "Good morn

man departs in the direction of the
barn to see how they have cooled out.
Senator Bailey has Prodigal and

Railblrd."

Do you know the only "railbird" III
the United States senate? ANY morn
ing during his periodical visits to Lex
ington, KY, he can be seen at the Ken
lucky Trotting Horse Breeders assoc
cistion track. He's Senator Bailey, of
Texas, the man who choked Beyeridge.
Down in Kentucky he IS no longer ora
tor, politician or pugiiist. He is 'sthe
SENATOR" railbird, horse trader. trot-
ting enthusiast and pedigree expert.
He has figured in the ranks of the
breeders for several years. This year
for the first time he will be extensive
sly represented on the turf. He has en-
gagged the noted trainer, Joe Rea, who
comes fresh from his triumphs with
that noted establishment, the Bitter
Root Stud of the late Marcus DAILY.
For the first time he has an entire
farm leased for his brood mares and
his stallion, the sensational Prodigal,
2: 16, that he purchased at the DAILY
dispersal sale.
~ His favorite seat at the local trot-
ting track is a plain wooden plank
nailed against the high outside fence
above the ,three-eighths pole. This is
just opposite his training barn and
here he sits under the shade of an over
hanging tree and times his trotters.
Every rubber, stable attache, trainer,
owner or breeder or visitor to the track
knows the familiar figure in the blue
broadcloth Prince Albert and the black
SLOUGH hat, and when he takes his posi-
ton ON the bench the word is passed
around: II see the senator over there
against the fence. Guess Joe'll step
'em up little this morning."
Rea rarely scores one down to the
wire and flashes away on fast trial
mile, during the senator's visits that
the latter's gold-timing watch is not
ticking off the seconds and splitting
at the various quarters as the distance
is reeled off. Eyes, that's Free Giver,"

West Virginia Judge Who Has No Use

greeted them with insults, the public
judgment of this decision will be
sensibly modified-for all such abuses
of free speech are violations of law
but at present the .'unjudicial" char
acter of the language used by Judge
Jackson is the subject of almost uni
versal comment To denounce trades
union leaders as vampires who Give
and fatten on honest labor" recalls
the rhetoric of the least responsible
oflabor agitators whom Judge jack
son would imprison for melting class
hatred. Mr.. Mitchell's comment on the
decision, which has been published in
papers not generally friendly to the
trades-unions, reads in part as fol-
lows:
"None of the defendants in this in
junction case nor our speakers have
violated the law. They were counsel
ing miners on their own grounds.
They were persuading them to remain
out until our demands for living
wage have been granted, and were not
intimidating them at all. - -
"The scope of Judge Jackson's de-.
cision can hardly be realized by those.
not familiar with Che facts. 1t forbids
men to walk on the highways, to talk
to non-union men, or to persuade til EN-
to strike. It takes from the members
of the United Mine Workers the rights
all citizens of the United States are
supposed to enjoy. Such decisions tend
to destroy the confidence of the work
ing people in the impartiality of the
courts.
1--WE shall appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, and shall
Immediately ask President Roosevelt
to interfere before this outrageous de-
cision can be put in force"
In case the present sentences are
sustained, says the Outlook, it will
give new life to the demand, already
strong in congress, that the right of
federal judges to punish for contempt
of court without jury will be limited to
ofenses committed in the courts pres
ence.
