Charles 5. Mccoy Of Chicago, law
yer, club man. speculator, drew a
razor across his throat in his room at
Jacksonville, Fla., hotel last week,
leaving written evidence Of great men
tai distress.
On the dresser was found this
writing:

moments more I'll be ready--if ] have
the courage"

have mercy. The way of the trans
gressor is hard, and the wages Of sin
is death"
Five hours of mortal suffering
Five hours Of strain and vacillation
and heartache and despair and re-
morsel What could have brought this
hnely educated CLUB man to final
decision to end all? First and last it
was one hing:
Speculation.
Said Mccoy to his friend, Judge
Challen:
"The demon Of speculation has had
me in it's grip aud am powerless to
resist it as any drunkard his dram OF
gambler his game"
mccoy speculated on margins
is it true, then. that speculation is
AS strong as the dram to the drunkard,
the game to the gambler? Let the
broken lives OF men, the suffering of
women and children the suicide
records and the unwritten chronicles
of the wretched. answer.
The wheat pit Of the Chicago Board
Of Trade. as some one has said, is
only a few feet across butn is As deep
as hell
And the corn and provision pit and
the place whore they speculate in
stocks is fully as deep--it IS bottom
less.
whatever the later troubles o.

beginning in speculation; and foi
that reason It were well that mel

SUNDAY LABOR MEETING
Largely Attended Meeting in
the Lyceum Theatre Last
Evening

The labor meeting at the Lyceum The
atre last night under the auspices OF the
Central Labor Union, was by far the most
successful that has been held ty that body
this year. What was especially pleasing
to those interested was the many women
who were in the audience.
Gilbert Nicholson. chairman Of the agl-
tation committee on public meetings pre-
sided. Evan W. Gallagher. president OF
the Central Labor Union was the FIRST
speaker.
lie explained the reason for such meet
ings saying that they were INTENDED. to
bring the working man 70 a sense Of his
condition and TO explain to him the bene-
FITS OF trade unions. He said the public also
should attend as knowledge OF the
unions would benefit them as well.
Grover Reid, of tho United Garment
Workers OF America. spoke OF the union
label, its power and It's object. He said
the label is the greatest weapon organized
labor ever had. It Is increasing in popu-
larity every year. However, Il is not so
thoroughly understood by every one as II
should be. 1t is- a benefit TO the workers
and a beneht to the consumer.
II. w. sherman, OF Washington. ma
tional secretary Of the international
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers, said
IL young man working at his trade does
not belong to a union organization there
was something wrong. There is no middle
class between capital and labor as Il
stands today. The man is on one side OF
the other.
The Rev. r. A. Elwood, pastor Of Olivot
Presbyterian Church spoke on the
Working Mans Friend" He said there
were two classes Of men in the world.
those who lived Off their labor ana those
who lived on their laborer. There are
some who move from place to place be-
hevlng II Is cheaper TO move than pay the
rent ana living by handouts" rather thar
do an honest days work. There are still
Others who claim to be the leaders and d.
rectors Of the people. but who only live
Off The people. When all classes are or.
ganized sufficiently they will be able e
demand the rights and privileges that
rightfuliy belong TO them. The greatest
monstrosity on the earth Is a lazy man
hated by God and every one lSse. Tn,
best friend Of the working man is Jesus
who died and give him his just advap.
tages.
