Champ Clark is Coming.

The lecture course for this season
opens on October 8, with Champ Clark.
the brilliant Missouri congressman.
Though he is what would ordinarily be-
called good looking man, his personal
appearance Is not especially significant
Of the thoughts that burn within or the
razor like grace with which they are
emitted.
The Burlington Journal says: IA
clean courageous soul is Champ Clark,
with a conscience CT ALUMINIUM that
never corrOdes, blade of wit that new
er dulls. a fund of "reminiscences that
never fails and heart under his left
lung that is as big as good sized Mis-
souri, red apple"
Let the people of the town turn out
en- masse to hear him as it is not often
that towns of the size of our own and
located as distant from the metropolis
have the opportunity Of hearing the
famous men of the day. To an extent
these difficulties are overcome through
the efforts of the Lecture Bureaus.
Medicine Lodge has secured an excel.
lent course for the winter and the Lee
ture Course Association hope that the
people will unite and help to make 1t q
success In every way. Come out to
hear Champ Clark.

Cattlemen Win.

The fight put up by the cattlemen be
fore the Board of Railroad Commission
ers against increased rates resulted in
favor Of the cattlemen. The ATTORNEYS
for the railroads cid not 20 into the
case at all. They asked that the
case be dismissed without a decision.
However, they announced the inten.
tion OF increasing the rate later on
which means that another fight will be
made when the railroads are better en-
trenched for their side OF the battle.
But for the present rates will remain
where they now are which to the aver.
age man looks about double what they
should be.
The cattle Shippers, however. are
thankful for small favors.

American Federation of Labor

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 9-The TWEEN
ty-third annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor opened
today and will continue probably four
teen days. President Samuel Gempers
delivered his annual address and Sec
rotary Frank Morrison and Treasurer
John B. Lennon presented their annual
statements.
About 40 delegates were present.
President Gompers address took up
most of the afternoon. 1t showed that
the gain in membership of the affiIiat-
ed international unions and of the
American Federation of Labor during
the past year had been 442,100. Mr..
Gompers reviewed what the federation
had accomplished during the year and
he made numerous recommendations
He pointed out that the grave danger
which confronted their movement was
the internecine strife due to the con-
fiicting claims of trade Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Gompers condemned such anti
trust legislation as was secretly
against labor and urged vigilance with
respect to legislation.
The .treasurer's report showed the
income of the year was $247 800, ex-
penditures $196,015 and balance on
hand $4,000.

ANOTHER VIEW OF HAzINe.

The country has been deluged with
in the last few years by long-wfnde6
Nominations upon the cruelty and in
iquity of hazing. The occurrence of
some rather aggravated eases at the
military academy at West Point stirred
up congress and all the old grand
mothers throughout the country to a
vigorous protest. 1t looked for a time
as if the existence Of the military
academy itself and the maintenance Of
the regular army system at all would
depend upon the question whether or
not hazing should be abolished.
Now we find that the great difficulty
about abolishing hazing is the objection
of the hazed. They do not want it
abolished, and men of the fourth class
at Annapolis absolutely refused to give
testimony that would convict their tor
mentors. This is the whole story Of
hazing at all institutions where it has
gained footing. There are two par
ties to it. The boy who is .hazed, pro-
vided, of course, that the practice does
not degenerate into cruelty and brutal
ity, enjoys the fun fit thoroughly 1t
is game of hare and hounds. in which
he is perfectly willing, to play the part
of the hare for the time being, be-
cause he will be one of the hounds later
on.
He enters into the game with as
much zest as the fellow whe, hazes him.
1t is part of college experience which
he does not wish to miss. He matches
his wits against those of the upper
classmen to see if he can escape the
threatened infiiction, and to make it as
little troublesome as possible to HIM
self when it comes; He has. not the
slightest a~imnsity toward. those. who
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-10

are trying to catch and haze him, and
he will shield them by all honorable
means from detection and punishment
by the authorities.
This disposition and this view or
hazing on the part OF it's victim ought
to count for something with the public
OF course boys are always likely to
run to extremes, and where hazing ex-
lists there is always danger of some OF
that brutality that is inseparable from
the stage Of the young animal known
as boyhood. These excuses are what
thes authorities ought to look out for,
to prohibit and to punish. The boys
themselves do not believe In these and
will help suppress them. But as for
crushing out hazing itself, you might
as well try to put an end to those play
full pastimes of chasing and mauling
one another in which all young ami
mails indulge. That form of hazing
never hurt anybody, and everyone who.
has gone through an institution of
learning for young men knows that it
is occasionally of vast benefit to the
object Of it.

TEN THOUSAND
COAL MINERS STRIKE
Colorado Men Want Eight Hour Day
and More Wages.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 9.-More than
10000 coal miners in Colorado went on
strike today for an eight-hour day,
increased wages and other concessions.
The strike was ordered by the national
officers of the United Mine Workers of
America after the coal companies re-
fused to confer with union representa-
tfVes concerning the demands Of the
men. OF the idle men 5000 are in the
southern coal fields, 1000 in the north
ern coal fields and 1900 in Fremont
county. One hundred mines have been
closed down. A few independent prop
critics in the northern coal fields and
elsewhere will not stop work, since the
operators have agreed to concede the
eight hour day and increase wages.
work, according to reports from the
affected regions. The announcement
comes that 500 men have gone out in
Celfax county, n. NJ.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron, the Victor
Fuel and the Northwestern Coal Ss
Coke companies are the largest produc-
ers. Nearly all their property has
been tied UP by the action of the miners.
They are, however, making efforts to
continue operations under the protec~
ton Of a strong guard.
1t will be the policy of the United
Mine Workers to depopulate the va
rious coal fields by sending the idle
men and their families to Illinois, In
dian Territory. Missouri, Iowa and
other states where work can be secured
for them.

MEDICINE EoR CRIME

The justice of Tyndall, South Dakota.
may probably have difficulty in enforc-
ing his order that all of the prisoners
sent to jail within his jurisdiction shall
be fed solely on bread and water. but
we confess to some willingness to see
the experiment tested on a considerable
scale and over some length of time.
The reformatory idea has great socf-
illogical principle behind it, but it is
susceptible of abuse. This is particu-
larly true when it is applied to petty
offenses and offenders. For these a
good sharp dose of discipline is the
only remedy.
For these delinquents. mostly tramps
and idlers with criminal propensitfes
and without moral sense, the ordinary
penalties of short term in CONTINENT
has no terrors whatever. Many of
them, indeed, voluntarily seek incar-
ceration during the severe winter
weather. They get warm rooms and
meals better than those to which they
are accustomed. and nothing is more
congenial to them at a season when
they cannot comfortably indulge their
rowing and criminal propensfties than
to idle away some weeks or months in
the comfort of city lookup or coun-
ty Jail.
The only cure for this disease Is
hard work and hard fare. There ought
to be rock pile or it's equivalent at
every jail, and every man confined in
it ought to be obliged to work hard
during at least eight hours of the day.
His fare should be, if not the Spartan
diet of bread and water, at least so
meager that he would rather trust to
the charity of the street. We are GER
tainly encouraging, if not charging the
criminal class by the comforts that we
offer to yiolators of our laws. A little
more drastic system would be infinitely
better both for the criminal and for
the community.

CAPT. HOB ON
LOSES GOLD MEDAL
He Applies for Search Warrant for a
House in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. Capt Rich
mond P. Hobson appeared in the JEFF
ferson Market police court today to
apply for a search warrant for house
in West Thirty eighth street, which is
a sanitarium. He told Magistrate Mayo
that his sister, Margaret Hobson, who
has been attending an older sister
there, who is suffering from nervous
prostration, lost a purse containing S6S
and a gold medal, studded with thirty
eight diamonds, worth $1,000. Capt.
Hobson said this medal was presented
to him by Southern society and he
priced it highly.
AS Capt. Hobson was unable to state
that the purse had been stolen, the
magistrate informed him that it would
be inadvisable to issue a search war
rant and issued three summonses for
the manager of the sanitarium and two
colored servants to appear In court
Wednesday. Capt. Hobson also notified
police headquarters of his loss.

TIE CANAL SITUATION.

Friends of the Panama canal scheme
The new republic of Panama has been
duly recognized and it's representative
received officially at Washington. Even
in advance Of this formal recognition,
details Of an agreement for the govern
mental concession have been gone over
and practically arranged between Min
lister Varilla and Secretary Hay. There
will be an important agreement between
the two governments, waiting only the
formal sanction of the executive and
the senate.
All this has been done in order to
prepare the way and to prevent the ref
erence of the whole question again to
congress at this session. Under the
terms of the Spooner act the president
was authorized and required to open
negotiations with Nicaragua if those
with Panama were not completed
within a reasonable time. Whether
this authorization sncluded power to
treat with the new state of Panama is
a point on which lawyers disagree. 1t
matters little, however, because a new
treaty must certainly be negotiated
with the new republic and must be
passed upon by the senate before it
can go into effect.
The advocates in that body of the
Nicaragua route, led by Senator Nor
gan, will make a desperate and pro-
longed fight to reopen the whole ques-
ton of selection between the two
proposed routes. Probably they will
be unsuccessful. The preponderance
of opinion has been and is decidedly
in favor of Panama. If there were a
doubt whether an agreement could be
reached, probably the senate would, in
its impotence at delay, go over to the
Nicaragua side. 81
With a government = in control at
Panama, however, that is willing~and
anxious to accede to our terms, with a
treaty ready for our signature far
more favorable to us than was that
presented to the government of Co
lombia, and with the certainty that all
negotiations can be closed and work
on the Panama canal be commenced at
an early date, the senate is not likely
to hesitate. We expect to see the whole
canal question practically closed dur
ing the life Of the special session of
congress.
