than at any other time, for it is then
that he throws off all the restraints inn
posed on him by custom and lives as he
would really like to live. That the EN-

is no doubt. 1t u him to go

and he even pays frequent visits to the

had the privilege Of being present on
such an occasion say it is a great sight
to see his majesty ascend from the

Possibly the incongruity Of the thing
did not strike them, but the laborites
in adopting their platform at Helena
were guilty of an act OF inconsistency
so absolutely manifest that wonder
exists at their failure to observe it..
While commencing the administration
of Governor Toole, and consequently
commencing his official acts, passage
of the so-called fair trial law is con-
demned and its repeal is demanded
The men responsible for the platform
may say that the legislature passed
the law and therefore the governor
should not be blamed, but that does
not change the fact hat had Governor
Toole not convened the legislature
in extraordinary session the law
would not have been placed on the
statutes. To that extent he must
share in the responsibility and hence
the labor party should have commend
ed his administration in spots only.

have had the constitutional or statu-

did So, and all still we'll remember
how he was abused and denounced
for it by the same newspapers that
are now blaming Roosevelt for his

JUST PLAIN ~DEMAGQGlSM.

Because the republicans of Colorado
affirm their belief in the right OF
every person, whether union or nom
union, to labor, when, where and for
whom he pleases, and to enter freely
into whatever contract he may
choose" and again because they "rec-
ognize the right of both capital and
labor to combine into associations
and organize into unions for the ac-
complishment of lawful objects by
lawful Methods" they are roundly
abused by some of the demagogic edi-
tors of Montana democratic news
papers as enemies of the laboring
men, and the party all over the land
is charged with being in sympathy
with those who would deprive the
workingmen of their rights and privi-
leges. Possibly because they further
declare that no organization, whether
of labor or capital, shall do that which
is in violation OF the law and that
neither shall go beyond the bounds
of law in accomplishing an object
sought, the distinguished gentlemen
who set themselves up as the only
champions of the laboring man see
a menace to him and an implied prom
Use of protection to the arrogant cap
italist and plutocrat who would crush
him under his heel, and use this as ar
argument against the election Of
Roosevelt because he is the nominee
of the republicans.
No member of organized labor, IN
less he be one of those who use such
membership Is a means to create
strife and discord and to promote
anarchy and ~lawlessness, can find
fault with the declaration of rights
contained in the Colorado platform.
To accuse Theodore Roosevelt of be-
ing insensible to the rights of those
who are compelled to toll and to say
that because of this he refused to in

existed in Colorado and was willing
that the laboring men should suffer

Although not a single word concern
ing the trusts is contained in the plat
form adopted by the democratic state
convention, the organs Of that party
are appealing to the voters to support
it's ticket if they would curb the
trusts, and give to the common people
an equal show in the struggle for
life" With a party mute-rendered
silent by fear Of giving offense to the
gigantic trusts in the country-on the
subject, what reason have the men
appealed to for believing that if the
democrats are successful in the pres
ent campaign they will do anything
in the direction Of the relief so elo-
quently promised by a few editors!
II the democrats of Montana are so
unalterably and unreservedIy opposed
to anything and everything bearing
the slightest color akin to a trust,
why did they not insert a declaration
to that effect in the document which
is supposed to De expressive Of their
wishes and intentions on the subjects

spondent Of the Chicago News, writing
from Newchwang. Most nations in in

how averse a people are to accept a
coinage with which it Is unfamiliar.
OF no people is this truer than the Chi

The standard Of coinage in Japan is
gold. All through China the Mexican

Grippenberp.

Let us all thank the stars for the name
of the new Russian general designated for
command in Manchuria. One will be able
to carry it in his mind and spell it Off
hand Not to put too fine a point on it,
one can get grip on it. The names end
ing in ski have simply been out of sight in
the way of difficulties, while those ending
in witch have presented SO many possible
pronunciationS as to leave one in doubt as
to witch to adopt. But Grippenberg is handy
and everyday. And if there is anything in
a name he is the very man his master has
been looking for. If he makes good by
getting grip on the situation and rolling
the Japanese back his reward should, and
probably will, be very great. But the lit
tie yellow men seem to be pretty firmly es-
tablished in the field. and as the allies of
Great Britain probably hold that there is
nothing in a name, as the English poet
contends.

Two Train Wrecks.

A New York Central express train struck
broken rail near Rochester, N. Y, and
was toppled sideways The cars fell upon
the track used by the eastbound freight
trains and in few moments one of those
trains crashed into the passenger cars and
caused one death and many serious injuries.
There had been no time for the passenger
train crew to go forward to warn the APP
preaching freight. assuming that they were
aware of It's nearness. Thus here is one
of those extremely rare occurrences,
really unavoidable collision, In sharp con-
trast with those that are so often recorded
by railway officials and coroners' juries as
being beyond the possibility of prevention
Yet even IN this case there may be q Iues-
ton in the public mind as to how efficient
is the track inspection which leaves weak
rails in use, to be split or looseaed by a
train.
The Tennessee train horror. which cost
sixty-two lives and caused long list Of Sc
we're injuries. seems to have been the re-
suit of laundering on the part of the en-
gineer OF one of the trains which net in
a head-on collision The engineer is dead
and his disobedence carried it's own pun
fshment Perhaps the example may serve
as warning to all other engineers. But

have blundered frequently in the past and
lost their lives In consequence and sIll their
successors continue to err. AS long as rail-
roads are operated on the single track basis
there win be head-on collisions and other
accidents due to the inviolable principle that
two bodies cannot occupy the same space
simultaneously.
No railroad that persists in trying to
maintain a heavy schedule On S,n rla FRO cl
line can justly shift the blame for the in
evftable accidents that result upon the
shoulders of the human agents whom it en-
ploys. IL the lives OF its passengers are

Hark, From the GravesI

John Temple Graves, the editor of an
Atlanta newspaper, and a man who sup
ported Mr.. Hearst for the ST. Louis nomi-
nation, says on the subject of lynching:
White men of this southern country pro-
lust of unspeakable brutes, and neither law
nor statutes nor public opinion. nor armed
forces, nor federal courts, nor any other
courts Will prevent the stern expression
of the popular horror and outrage toward
this most Internal Of all human crimes.
There Is no need TO try to scare the people
OF this southern country with the threat of
the federal court. If the federal court in
vadcs the states authority and takes
charge of these cases, there yet remains
the memory and the renaissance of the
kuklux khan, which was perhaps after
all, the most effective agency that this
southern country has ever known against
the crime and lawlessness that followed a
period of civil war. Even this may not en-
tirely accomplish its work of reform but 1t
will, IL anything will, or IL anything can
and this appeal to the superstitious terrors
of the criminal classes must not be left
untried.
In other words, Mr.. Graves suggests that
II lawlessness is TO become thoroughly eff
fective 1t must be organized There must
be system In the peoples madness. Moth
ing should be left to chance In every
community there should be a noble band
of brothers to be depended upon to take
matters into their own hands whenever In
their calm and patriotic Judgment a little
free killing is good for the community
The suggestion of the old kukiux khan
as model for present-day needs is not
however. happy one. That organization

Bread Plasters.

1t is becoming custom to tag loaves of
bread with the name and office address OF
their author, making each nodded form. as
1t We're, a signed loaf. These tags make
the loaves look like licensed bread. Per-
haps later we may have autograph loaves,
and still later loaves bearing the photo
graph and biographical sketch of the baker
But while it is becoming common to paste
Identification tags on bread, 1t might be a
good idea to date the loaves so that bread
eaters might get a clew as to the time OF
manufacture of the bread. Not that pa
irons of grocery stores would not still get
stale loaves. but there might be a certain
degree of satisfaction in knowing whether
the bread was baked last year or the year
before.
It is strange that the sticking on of these
stamps has not suggested to bakers a new
string of names for their product, such, for
Instance, as sealed bread" "postage-stamp
bread" ''bill-poster bread' coupon
bread" white label bread" sticking
plaster Bread etc.
Another suggestion. 1t might be well
after eating the loaf If the tag is not at the
same time inadvertently swallowed, to can
eel the stamp and preserve 1t In an album.
thus keeping a record of the loaves con-
sumed by the family. People collect cham
payne corks,- beer labels tobacco tags and
soap wrappers, and there is no valid reason
why bread stickers should not also be col
lected.

Kuropatkin,s Hopeless Task.

The virtual deposition of General Kuro-
patkin as supreme military commander OF
the cars forces in Manchuria and eastern
Siberia is hardly deserved. He has failed,
it is true 10 prevent the Japanese advance
He has been forced to fall back repeatedly
from strong positions. He has been out
fanked and outmaneuvered and out
fought The summer closes with his troops
disheartened, and ready to move toward
Hardin at the first sign of seriously ag-
gressive Japanese move, while Port Arthur
trembles to the fall. But even this show
ing of failure does not, in the light OF the
slowly appearing facts of Russia state or
unpreparedness in Manchuria when the war
began. justify a conclusion that Kuropatkin
has failed to do what another commander
might have done. Doubtless when the
whole truth is known it will be found that
he has done better than most men, and as
well as the best.
Much was said and written just before
the japanese delivered their first surpris-
ing stroke at Port Arthur about Russia's
enormous armies in Manchuria, her vast
supplies and her capacity to deal promptly
and conelusively with Japan. Had Kuro-
patkin. upon his arrival at the front, COM
manded one-half many troops as the dis
have been able to oppose effective resist
ance to Kuroki at the Yalu. He could have
sent a much larger force to the relief OF
Port Arthur when the communications with
that point were cut. He could have thrown
a formidable force around Hal Cheng and
later around Liaoyang.
1t is now asserted by a correspondent Of
Scribner's Magazine, who is with the Rus
sian army, that Kuropatkn had in effec-
tives when he reached the front only
10000 soldiers of all arms. This force was,
of course, augmented from week to week,
but in such small numbers as to give only
a small margin over the losses and the
new necessities developed by the remark
able activity of the Japanese commanders.
Both kuropatkin and Admiral Makaroff
were sent to the front to take command OF
a sadly demoralized force, totally made
Quate to meet the occasion. Admiral Alex
Jeff had brought affairs TO the point where
no living man could have prevented the
successive advances of the Japanese. He
had precipitated the war at least year
before, Russia was ready to fight it. He
had been caught mapping at Port Arthur
by the sudden onrush of the Japanese. He
had begun the campaign on the basis of
the divisions and corps of troops still in
Russia, while the Trans Siberian line was
incapable of bringing them into Manchuria
and transporting their supplies at the same
time. The Circum- Baikal railroad is only
just now opened. eight months too late
Whoever is named to the supreme COM
mand in Manchuria and Siberia will have his
work cut out for him. A prince of the royal
family may command respect in Russia by
virtue of his title. but he must win his
laurels from the world by dint of the clev-
crest maneuvering and the most brilliant
campaigning on record.
