UNCLE SAM AND UNIONS
THEIR RULES CANNOT OVERRIDE:
LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Letters Written by the President i'm
Reference to the Printing Office
Matter Made Public.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 20.-President
Roosevelt having made applicable to all
departments of the government service the
principle he enunciated at the time he re-
instated William A. Miller TO the position
in the government printing office, from
which Miller had been dismissed because
of disagreement with the bookbinders'
union, tonight authorized the publication
of letter which was sent to each member
of his Cabinet on July 22 The letter was
signed by Mr.. Barnes, the acting secretary
to the President, and is as follows
MY Dear Sir-The President directs me
to send you herewith for your information
copies of two letters sent to Secretary
Cortleyou with reference to the government
printing Office. which define the attitude of
the administration i'm connection with the
subject discussed. They are sent you for
your information and guidance as they in-
dicate the policy OF the President i'm this
matter
The letters to Secretary Cortleyou were
written on July 13 and IA. The salient SEN
tence of the first letter was: There is no
objection to the employees of the government
printing office constituting themselves into
a union if they desire, but no rules or
resolutions of that union can be permitted
to override the laws of the United States,
which it is my sworn duty to enforce
In the letter of July IA the President
quoted the finding of the anthracite strike
committee regarding the employment of
labor as follows: 1T is adjudged and
awarded that no person shall be refused
employment or in any way Disseminated
against on account of membership non
membership in any labor organization, and
that there shall be no discrimination or in
reference with any employe who is not
a member of any labor organization by
members of such organization"
Concerning this principle the President
wrote: 1T is, of course, mere elementary
decency to require that all the government
departments shall be handled in accordance
with the principle thus clearly and fear
lessly enunciated"

a meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture was held yesterday morning in the
boards Office in the Statehouse, and final
arrangements were made for the State Fair.
1t was decided at the meeting to continue
the enlargement of the stables at the fair
grounds so to accommodate about twice
as many horses. Not only the buildings
will be made larger but the stalls in the
present stables will be Increased James
E. Mcdonald, of Ligonier. member of the
executive committee, said last night that
the coming fair would have the greatest
exhibition of horses in the history of In
diana He said that there would be one
the show than last year. Some of the
finest animals in this part OF the country
are TO be exhibited and are booked for
trials.
The proposition to make a chariot race
one feature of the fair was turned down
by the board yesterday. Mr.. Ensley, the
promoter of the chariot race, was at the
meeting yesterday and stated what could
be done in the way of holding the real hip
podrome race. The board did not feel that
within three weeks a suitable chariot ex-
hibition could be arranged, so the event
was scratched off the programme.
SOUSA'S CONCERTS.
Prices were also arranged yesterday for
Sousa's concerts, of which there will be
four during the week. The board decided
to have no night attractions at the fair
grounds this year, but on Wednesday and
Thursday nights of fair week to hold
Sousa's concerts at Tomlinson hall Ii

convenience TO the public to hold the con-
certs i'm the city and that the receipts
would be increased largely. The prices set
for Tomlinson hall are %. so and Is cents.

The BattIeshlp Vermont.

Secretary Moody has reached a
decision as to the states after which
the five battleships, provided for in
the new naval law, shall be named.
The three 5000 ton battleships are
to be named Vermont, Kansas and
Minnesota, and the two $4,000 ton
vessels Mississippi and Idaho.
The secretary is anxious that the
names of such historic vessels as the
Cumberland, the Merrimac and the
Constitution, shall be perpetuated in
the new navy and he will recommend
in his next annual report that Con
gress provide for this in the next
naval law.
The secretary has directed the gen
eral board to prepare the circulars
for the 10000 ton ships, which are
to be ofthe Connecticut and Tennessee
class. AS there are no 1900 ton
ships on the naval lists it will take
longer to prepare the plans and spec
ifcations for the Mississippi and
Idaho.

An Optimistic View.

The Phoenix has no disposition to
squirm, or to jump on the passing
band wagon. 1t believes that license
will increase the consumption of liq-
uors and will work to the detriment
ofindividuals, of families, ofcommuni-
ties and ofthe state. But prohibition
has been knocked out, not in the whole
state, but in the particular towns
where it is not wanted. The situa-
ton is not hopeless even from the
standpoint of the most strenuous de-
tenders of temperance. The towns
which have voted no, will get prohibi-
ton of the genuine brand. With one
per cent. beer, declared an intoxicat-
ing liquor and conviction for viola
ton of the law sure to bring a $500
fine and probably i'm prisonment, the
liquor traffic will be pretty effectually
stamped out in nearl v two-t thirds of
the towns of the state. In other
towns liquor will be sold under sane
ton of the law, but there are provis-
ions for strict control. The whole
question of dealing with the sale of
intoxicants is great and serious
problem. In Vermont there has been
a clamor for a change, and many
people were ready to fly from present
evils to those they know not of. In
towns like Brattleboro which have
gone for license by a narrow margin,
there will be a revulsion of feeling if
it is apparent that change for the
worse has been made. The saloon is
a monster of vice which fastens it's
tentacles upon all victims it can
reach. But we are drifting away
from the teachings Of some of the
great leaders, Abraham Lincoln
among them, if we are of so little
faith as to believe that the people
cannot take care Of themselves.
Prohibition has had it's trial and has
been rejected. License is now on
trial. 1t must "prove itself" or an
swer to the people. There is danger
in the new law, but the law must be
supported and given fair trial.
Whatever ones belief it is not a time
to lie pronely and indulge in pessi-
mistic forebodings. We must face
the situation high of heart and res
olute OF faith" and must be ready to
strike blow if the need appears

BRYAN Gives Notice.

Through his paper The Commoner,
Mr.. Bryan has served notice on Judge
Parker of New York and the prom OF
ers of his Presidential boom that they
are pursuing a rainbow if they ex-
pect to secure his nomination on a
pla torn radically different from the
one adopted at Kansas City. Re-
fering to a newspaper intimation
that the nomination of Judge Parker
would, as Mr.. Bryan puts it, " neces-
state a platform repudiating the
platforms of 1896 and 1900 on all
the points on which the country was
then aroused" the leader of the still
dominant faction of the national
Democracy says
Judge Parker may as well save
the worry of a campaign if his accept
ance of nomination depends on the
adoption of a platform that repudi-
ates the Kansas City platform. He
will find it difficult to please news
papers like the Eagle and also please
the more than six million of voters
who have supported the Democratic
ticket in two campaigns Which
side will he take? VIII he speak for
himself or allow the Eagle to speak
for him? The Kansas City platform
Democrats will attend the national
convention.
