I'm an exchange Of lands within

land, it frequently occurs that the
land from which timber has been cut
is exchanged for land having timber.
This Is manifostly unfair to the gov

to DE impracticable to require that
only land of like value shall be taken
in exchange for land in reserve, it
might be provided that timber land

Mr.. Richards also recommends the

JUDGE HolDom,s DECISION.

Instead of committing the tndivldu-
ais directly concerned in the act Judge
Holdom, of Chicago, has decided to flne
the Franklin press feeders union as
an organization for violating an injunc-
ton. This union paid the pickets and
other strikers who refused to obey the
courts decree and according to Judge
Holdon's review of the case are to be
considered as acting thru these agents
It paid the counsel for the defense OF
the individual defendants brought into
court. issued the order for the strike
and raised funds 10 continue it. The
bylaws of the union approved the ac-
ton Of the defendants and the court
rea soning brought 1t to the conclusion
that II at any time the officers OF the
union become parties, aiders or abet-
tors to the picket line at which assaults
occur. then they are parties to the un-
lawful combination. If they are par
ties to the combination. then they are
guilty OF violating the injunction.l Tney
were maintaining pickets on the picket
line. While there is no evidence to
show that they actually Instructed the
pickets, 1t has been shown that the
picket line was countenanced by the
union. The union Is therefore respon-
sible for the acts of the pickets. You
can NOT discover the union from the
pickets."
However the Illinois law bearing
on the case may be construed by the
upper courts. Judge Holdom's reason
ing will appeal to the average man as
coincident with justice and commoi;
sense. Unions should be made respon-
sibie for the acts of their agents as are
other business organizations. His deci-
zion is in the interests of good order
and equal rights.

upon 1t. But 1t did not contain what
evidently had been expected, for there
was race for the Titbits office in
Southampton street. The editor in
telling the story said:
Locking out of window I thought
there was a fire. but / soon learned
what the noisy demonstration meant.
when some 900 excited people rushed
upstairs, clamoring at every room for
the editor. At first thought a fire
hose would be required, but soon the
mystery was explained.
1.-THE reason for the strange announce
ment In the Times was that Titbits is
conducting hidden treasure compete
tions, the clews TO the whereabouts
being given In serial story running
in the paper.
in the current issue there appeared
the instruction to Mr.. Nliggs. the hero
of the story, that If there was adver-
tised in the Times the words 'doubly
agreed and he went at 10 o'clock in
the morning to street In Adelphi,
he would find messenger boy In uni-
form. who would hand him an envelope
containing the halves of two hundred
pound notes, the other halves to be
given him later on compliance with
certain conditions. A large number OF
people thought this referred to clew
for the money prizes but Miggs had
nothing to do whatever with the hidden
treasure. The eager money seekers,
We're further deluded by some practical
Joker who tumbling to the funny sit
uation, took advantage OF the adver-
tisements in the Times to send a mes
senger with the name Miggs on the
enyelope"

INCREASE IN EXPORTS.
Manufactured Products Receiving De.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Exports OF
manufactures in October seem to show
something of the expected revival in
that branch OF our foreign commerce
The total exports Of manufactures in
October, as shown by the reports Of
the department Of commerce and la
Dor thru it's bureau of statistics,
amount to s3I55S,675. This is larger
export than in any preceding October,
except that OF 1900, and even in that
banner year OF exports the total was
less than 100000 above that of Qcto-
Der. 1903. The increase over October,
1902, Is about $1,50o,o00; over October.
1901, 100000, and is more than
double the total for October of 1893.
Most of the principal articles of man
ufacture show slight increase In Oc-
tober, 1903, compared with October,
1902. Agricultural implements show a
gain of over $4,000, compared with the

show slight reduction, the total ex-
ports for October, 1903. being $2,005,
$50, against s2,6S9,076 in October of the
preceding year. This reduction occurs
almost exclusively in exports of cot
ton cloth to China. of which the total
for October. 1903, was o,370,600 yards
valued at $414,156. against 2O472.67S
yards, valued at $1.036.726, in October.

however. compare favorably with those
of the corresponding month in years

attention to the condition of Emperor
William of Germany, as striking COM

kind proves tht. emptiness of human
achievement. The Times Journal is
looking on the reverse of the shield.
