ment of girl spies and their methods.
The system Of spying by the union girls
was declared akin to the act of the thief
pose of robbing his employer.
These acts are akin to military
strife,'' said Judge Holdom. 1T is war;
fare. First is the picket with his war
like appearance, and then sones the in
novation Of the picketspy, who probes
his way into the camp Of the opposing
side under false guise for the pur-
pose of injuring his employers in their
business. They are not entitled to any
more consideration in the eye of the
law than the military spy. 1t is an act
akin to the thief who secures employ
ment for the purpose Of robbing his
employer"
The defense set up by Attorney
Bloomington that the strikers were
competing with their employers was
given a scoring and called both novel
and startling" The decision says
members of union have no individual

tract like slaves and thehy must do the
bidding Of their master-the union.
off in this than were their colored
brothers Of the South before the eman-

join the union or cease to labor-which
means, cease to exist. In no sense are
unions competing in business with the
employers of labor
The decision also scored the union for
attempting to shift the responsibility
for it's acts. The serrendering Of it's

Colorado unionists. Nevertheless
Not One Trade Unionis Has Been
Convicted Of Crime. Committee

Hedges.
Washington, D. c., March 3.-Ten
years Of alleged lawlessness, with the
trade unions of Colorado scheming to
take the lives of nonunion workmen
and to blow up the mines in which free
labor was employed, with such diabolic-
al cunning as to prove the completely
Of more than one master murderer, was
described to the House judiciary COM
mittee today by J. c. Craig, president
of the Denver Citizens Alliance.
Mr.. Craig appeared in opposition to
the anti-injunction bill, and declared
the wholesale murder he described was
only checked when the power of the
courts had been invoked. He more than
hinted free la borer's life would not be
worth a minutes purchase were the bill
passed.
After he had described the ten years
orgy Of plot and death he was asked
how many trade union members had
been convicted of completely in the
crimes.
None" he answered, mot a single
one has been convicted; but attribute
this to the sympathy of the police, who
are recruited from the ranks of labor,
and have to return to them when
chance of administration throws them
out of an official position.
Union men, he declared, however, had
been guilty of rolling kegs of dynamite
into shaft-houses and then connecting
the elevators by cords to cooked revol-
vers so that when the elevator moved
the pistol would be fired and the dyna-
mite exploded. Horrors Of this sort were
OF daily occurrence till the Citizens al
lance was formed and injunctions OBJ
tanned. At the same time he was care
full to explain that his alliance did not
oppose trade unionism as such, but
merely the lawlessness Of which, he
said, organized labor was guilty.
Charles F. WalZ, representing the
Cincinnati Employers association and
the National Citizens Industrial asso-
citation, in describing the alleged an
ar chic utterances of labor leaders, said
Mr. O'Connell, president of the Inter-
| national Association of Machinists, had
said in Chicago: 1--WE will work for a

when We get that we will work for an
eight hour day with the same pay.

1t will probably be quiet campaign.
During pre-conyention days it looked
as if the trust issue would overshadow
everything else. But it has not so
turned out. Whichever party wins the
trusts are not to be meddled with much.
The conditions that exist do not invite
republicans or democrats to desert
their parties in the hope of finding
something more to their liking else
where. In one respect we shall have
Improvement. As the trusts have no
reason to fear our candidate they are
not likely to furnish big corruption
fund to defeat him as they did in the
last two campaigns. We predict that
there will be very little money used,
compared with the recent past; and the
combines who have been bleeding for
the republican party will have rest
for their pocket books. Business will
be little disturbed by the campaign
lessso than it has been by any campaign
ior twenty years. In fact it will not
be disturbed at all by this campaign.

MRS. JOHN TREu.

Mrs. John Treu died yesterday noon
at her home in the town of Stettin after
a lingering illness with cancer of the
stomach. She had suffered the agonies
of that dread disease since last January
and for some weeks past her end had
been expected.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Magdaline Nelson, was born July "a,
l843, and would therefore have been
sixty-one years old had she lived to
Sunday. She was married to John
Treu in 1866 and they have lived OF the
farm in Stettin ever since. Besides her
husband she is survived by seven chill
dren Mrs. Fred Kelsmeaine, of Denver,
Col. Mrs. o Larson, of this city; Clara.
August, Sarah, Fred and Otto, of the
town of Stettin. The Treu family is
very we'll known in this city and Mrs.
Treu was very highly esteemed and
known as lady of true womanly quail
ties in every sense that the term i'm
plies, and her loss is not only sad one
to her family but to the community as
well. The funeral will be held tomor-
row afternoon with services at the home
and at st. Stephens church in this city,
with burial in Pine Grove cemetery.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

Plans for the federal building TO be
built in Wausau have been received by
Postmaster 1revitt and contractors can
file bids on same, the bids to be for
warded to Washington ut least three
days prior to August 18th, and opened
at 3 o'clock on that date. According to
the plans the building will be about the
same in construction and appearance
as is built in most cities of this size 1t
will be about 72x36, ground dimensions,
two stories with basement. The mater
ial called for in the specifications is red
brick and stone, and the whole building
will be as near fire proof as possible.
There will be very little wood used in
its construction, even wire being used
for lathing The government does not
insure its buildings and consequently
they must be fire proof.
The main entrance win be on Scott
street, though a door will open on
Fourth, and large lobby in the front
portion gives the public, especially on
Sunday, plenty of room to get mail
without erowding, as is the case with
the present postoffice. The interior
finishings and furnishings will be very
fine and great deal of marble will be
used, 1t will be lighted with gas and
electricity, and in the basement a
shower bath is provided for employees
1t is quite likely that the foundation
walls viii be constructed this fall, and
we understand the building is 10 be
completed by September lst, 1905.

Paul Kruger, former president of the
Transvaal republic, died at Clarens,
Switzerland, at 5 o'clock, Thursday
morning from pneumonia and superven-
ing heart weakness. Mr.. Kruger lost
consciousness Monday. His daughter
and son-in-law were with him at the
time of his death. He had been out
only once since his arrival there, at the
beginning of last month.
The ex-president's body was en-
balmed, and the remains placed in a
vault, pending tdneral arrangements.
Application will be made to the British
government for authority to transport
the remains to the Transvaal for inter
ment.
''Oom" Paul, as he was Familiarity
known, was one eff the conspicuous tig-
ures in the late English-Boer war. What
ever history's estimate of Paul Kruger
may be, his place in the galaxy of illus
trious men that have fought freedoms
battle, is secure. He may have been far
from an ideal executive of a self-govern-
ing state, but he was stannch in loyalty
to his country His errors, if they were
errors, We're errors of judgment Iso-
lated from the world, he little under
stood or valued the immense forces
which he challenged TO mortal comhs4t.
But though he may have failed to APP

Organism.


Republican editors generally and
many democratic editors, predicted
that the st. Louis convention would be
the end of Bryan and Organism in the
democratic party. The wish was father
to the thought, but they have been dis
appointed.
NOone man in all that convention
exerted half the influence over it that
Bryan did. No one was listened to with
such respectful attention He was, as
his supreme manhood, integrity and
sincerity entitled him to be the bright
particular star of that great assemblage
of democrats.
Bryan has lost none of his wonderful
gifts as an orator, but he has grown
stronger in the things that make an
orator power for good to his fellow
men.
The American people are not to lose
either Bryan or Organism.
Organism stands for high political
ideals. 1t stands for the moral issue in
politics. 1t stands for an effort to be
right, and for honesty, sincerity and
courage in that effort. 1t stands for
opposition to time-serving, political
trimming and hypocracy. 1t stands
for the purest kind of pure democracy.
Bryan held the democratic party to
these high ideals for eight years, and
the influence of that leadership is so
deep and strong that it will never die.
His ideals will finally become those of
the majority. Truth may be held in
check for time but it cannot be de-
stroyed.

the greater attribute of an American

FoR eight years the republican news
papers have been saying everything
possible to belittle w. j. Bryan and es-
pecially have they been very severe in
their denunciation of what they term
the free silver fallacy Now they make
a sharp about face and are telling what
a shame it was for Parker to send his
gold telegram and that Bryan and his
followers ought to resent such a high
handed insult 1t is with those papers
anything to stir up discord in the
democratic ranks. Utterly devoid of
principle, but must try to do something
to save Roosevelt.

Woman Suffrage in colora do

Mrs. Elmer Wixon, one of the ladies
from Colorado who attended the
Republican National Convention in
Chicago, in an interview regarding
women suffrage in her state said:
"There are between $4,000 and 40, 600
more men than women in Colorado,
and yet, in spite of this difference in
the population, the women's vote is all
the way from Al to SO per cent. of the
entire registration.
''In some elections the issues are
more important than in others. When
ever there is matter of vital import
ance it has the effect of bringing out
the women voters in great numbers
With us the women who vote are large
ly the better class There are very few
clergymen in Denver whose wives do
not 90 with their husbands to the polls
Mrs. Peabody, the wife of the chief
Justice, the teachers in the public
schools, the wives and mothers in the
home-these are our chief constituency.
Our strong opponents are the machine
politicians, who can not manipulate the
women's vote as they expected to do,
foreigners who look upon women as
interiors, and above all. the liquor
dealers. Everywhere they are the
most active of our enemies, because
they have the money with which to buy
the legislatures. This they did in
California and the state of Washing
ton
when delegates to the convention
were chosen to frame the new charter
for Denver, after the county was di-
vided, last year, the women on Capitol
Hill, the principal residence quarter,
cast nine-elevenths of the vote in that
district. You see that charter meant
the moral and sanitary regulation of
Denver, the saloons, the police, the
care of the streets. The men voters
either were not much interested, OF they
felt that it could be safely left to
women, and they did so.
Mrs. Wixon declares there was not
the least danger of woman suffrage
ever being repealed in Colorado.
