in the fact that it is both female reg

ing the truth; if he has more than
one he is not telling the truth. Now,
the question is, would a man natural
ly tell the truth about the number
Of his wives; if he has more than
one; and would the possession of
more than one wife predspose man
to sidestep the truth in discussing
the subject? Many men having
but one wife each are great liars,
and the truth is not in some Of
them, but he same is true OF single
men; hence, the possession of vito
cannot be said to be pirma facie,
evidence that a manwill lie, even in
Il pinch. On the other hand, the
possession of a wife cannot be
afforded as prima facie evidence
that a man will always toll the
truth.
The case of Smoot is complicated.
His enemies vehemently maintain
that he has at least two wives, which
fact prejudices his standing at home
only because of the smallness of the

than one third of her supplies from
us. Now, under reciprocity Cuba
could not greatly increase her sales
to us, so that there could be little
if any, increase of Cuban competition
in our market. But we could enorm-
ously increase our sales so that we
should soon be selling her proportion
ately as much as she sells us.
It might be we'll for some practic-
al, unsentimental men to think of
these things, and to thi nix pretty
hard and fast at this time. The
Cuban reciprocity treaty is calculated
to do us far more good than it will
to Cuba. Are we going to refuse
going to have that good done?
Under reciprocity Cuba could at
most not increase her exports to us
by more than 10 or Is per cent. Of
the whole, while she could and
certainly would increase her imports
from us by so or 80 per cent. of the
whole. There are said to be those who
are so stupid tnat they do not know

be put in that category.

case in dealing with their employers
cannot be denied as a matter of law
or justice. If tho individual can
quit work when he pleases the
collection of individuals associated
in an organization must be granted
the same right. If his principle be
denied organized labor is deprived
of the only weapon it my legally
wiold in contest of strength with
employing capital. If Jugde Adams
injunction shall stand the effect will
be to compel number of individuals
by reason of their utilization in
labor organization to continue
working under conditions which are
not satisfactory. Such a req uirement
seems to be wholly at variance with
the spirit of our institutions. ;.
Unless there is something in the
St. Louis case which has not appear
ed on the surface it is safe to say that
Judge Adams extraordinary in
junction will not, if made permanent,
withstand the test of the higher
courts. It would be unfortunate
for the relations Of capital and labor
if tho contrary should be the case.
The effort to make men work against
their will is not one which can be
successfully accomplished under our
system of government, nor is it de-
sireable that it should be.
Judge Adams order might perhaps
be defended on the ground that the
officers of the organization in
question were conspiring to bring
about strike contrary to the wishes
of majority of the mem bers. That
this is not the fact may be assumed
because the injunction has been issued
at the request of the presidentof the
Wabash railway, rather than in
behalf of the empolyes. Moreover,
the decision to all a strike was reach
ed only after the proposal had been
Endorsed by large majority of the
men affected. Sioux City Journal.

St. Lious Globe Democrat: Bryan
can destroy the chance, the very
slight chance, that any of his demo-
cratic enemies have of being able to
carry the country next year. He is
in opposition to get even with the
men who bolted his candidacy in
1896 and 1900, and he will utilize it.
He would prefer to vote for repub-
ican rather than give mis- support to
any of the Cleveland or Hill element
of the democracy. Moreover, his
antipathies have wide range, and
include such anti-Cleveland and
anti-Hill men as German. Whether
he would support Olney is not
known, but probably he would not.
Here is a peril which confronts

strength, B1 yam is going to use it
like a gaint. If a man personally
distaseful to him gets the candidacy

some such man will be- put up

In the United States district court

has issued a temporary Injunction
restraining the officers of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and the
Brotherhood of Railway Firemen
from ''persuading, ordering, CO.
ercing or inducing the employees of
the Wabash railway to go on a
strike. The effect of the injunction
is to prevent the ordering of a
strike threatened because the COM
pany had not met the demands Of it's
organized employees as to wages and
working conditions. To the credit
Of the Wabash employees he it said
that the order of the court is being
respected, while steps are being con-
fidently taken to secure the dissolu-

pass upon the merits of the st. Louis
case, and yet, in the absence of
definite information the supposition
must be that the injunction will

New York Tribune: It may be,
though we hope not, that there are
those who are oblivious or regardless
of the demands of national honor.
Surely they should, OF all men, not
be blind to national interest.
Whether it would be OF any pratical
value to us or not, we owe, in honor
and good faith, a reciprocity arrange
ment to Cuba. We are under a
moral compulsion to do what Cuba
is going to do for us, or, to put
Cuba. But we are also under a
certain compulsion of morals and of
common sense to promote our own
prosperity.
The present question, then, is
not only what we are going to do for
Cuba, but what Cuba is going to do
for us, or, ct put the latter more
directly, what we are going to let
Cuba do for us. Here is the situa-
ton: Cuba, in spite of our discredit
able treatment of her, is doing fair
ly we'll. She is maintaining stable
government, fulfilling her obliga-
tons and rehabilitating her indust-
ria prosperity. Despite our ungen-
erous attitude toward her more than
four-ffths OF her produce finds a
market in the United States. But
not one third of her market is open

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Western Dog journal is the name of
a new Cedar Rapids publication. 1t
is devoted to the welfare Of the dog
and is for the people who love the
dog for his own sake. The dog has
been associated with man almost
from the beginning of the race, and
perhaps even before thu period. In
the intervening years dogs have
learned a great deal from men and
men have learned not a little from
dogs. There are some people who
do not like dogs and there some
people who do not like men. The
Western Dog Journal ought to find
a large constituency and the initial
number of the publication has the
merits that entitle it to the most
favorable &C nsideration.
