SAVE THE REPUBLIC
This Is Parry's Idea of the Mission of
the National Manufacturers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-D. NJ. Parry, Of
the Natinoal Manufacturers associa-
ton, speaking today of the purpose of
the convention of employers associa-

said
1.-The greatest work, perhaps, will be
an effort to save the republic. Condi-
lions are so bad that it Will not be long
before the nature of our government is
changed and We shall have socialism.
We propose to see that there is no
change in our government and that
the existing condition of affairs is pre-
served. We will show the workingman
a better way to improve his condition
than through the unions as they now
exist or through socialism"
DENVER, Col. Oct. 2S.-A suit was

Henderson is the plaintiff, but in
reality the suit is brought by the Citi-
zens' alliance. The Firemen's and En-
gineers' Helpers union, of Denver, is
the defendant. Henderson charges that
a committee from the union circulated
the report that he was taking coal
from the company, selling it to other
parties and pocketing the proceeds.
thereby intimating that he had been
guilty of larceny. For this alleged
SANDER ne wants $4,000 damages.

With the entrance of the federal

expenditure of the peoples money in

We do not understand how there can

this policy; much less why it should be
found impossible to get a majority for
it. Perhaps there is no other reform
in our system more urgent and more

to shut the land agent, the timber

These openings from the main char

guarded by gates made perfect
preventive of disastrous floods and a
perfect system of control in connection
with the levees of the Lower A1issis-

If the federal government is asked
to intervene on large scale, the plan
that we have suggested is the one that
should be insisted upon. Reliance
upon the levee system means only the
expenditure Of hundreds of millions. Of
dollars of the peopfes money for tenn
porary relief to the people Of the val

greater dangers and wider devastation
of property. and loss of life whenever
the inevitable breaks in these levees

high they may be raised or how much
money may be expended upon them.

troll of the Lower Mississippi, and yet
it is still one Of the least appreciated

former superintendent Of the registry

support of the charge Of incompetent
and negligent administration, and as
to the charge of wasteful and reckless
extravaganza in sending expensive
manifold registration books to many
fourth-class postofhces, he says that
he had nothing whatever to do with
their purchase or the sending of them
