THE "nPEN SHOE, rIGur-

Labor leaders at the National Capt.
tai say that the fight between capital
and labor during the year between last
Labor Day and next Labor Day will
be directed against organizations of
| employers, those which insist upon the
! right to employ other labor than union
labor 1t will be a war against the
open shop"
Employers seem to be disposed to
make stand for the open shop" and
II they are firm in that position there
will likely be some notable labor con-
1icts during the next twelve months.
The unions seem to be getting stronger
all the time. though, i'm prolonged
struggles, they have difficulty in hold
ing their forces together. That is the
trouble which the leaders of the stock
Yards strike are having at the present
time. That strike has been going on
for two months, and it is probable that
a very large portion of the strikers are
actually suffering for the necessaries
of life.

ington have also decided to use the dol
lar in their fight with capital. They
have established a bank, a savings
bank, and in future wage-earners in
that city will deposit their savings in
that bank. The point they make is
that they have been furnishing the cap
ital, or at least some of it. with which
their employers have been fighting
them. The banks in which they depos-
it their money lend it to the employ
ers of labor. The laboring people think
that by retaining control of their own
dollars they will be better able to COM
pei their employers to grant their de-
! mands.
An argument against the bank as a
weapon is that some of the labor lead
ers will be pretty sure to get control
of the funds of the bank, and become
! employers themselves. The wage
earners become employers as soon as
! their accumulations are sufficient Ia
| enable them to do so. 1t is pretty
safe to say that most of the
| employers Oh ldpOT were lnein-
selves at one time toilers in
the ranks of labor. Mr.. Davis
the Democratic nominee for Vice Pres.
ident, glories in the fact that he was
in his early days. a wage Garner. In
fact, If the truth were known, it would
appear probably that the great ma.
jority OF employers come up from the
| ranks.
1t is regrettable that employees ant
employers cannot find means of set
Ting their differences without resort
ing to strikes and lockouts.

NOT HEREDITARY.
Badness Due to a Living Minute
Germ.


Many people, even unto the pres
ent day of grace, consider badness
due to hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth
Badness is caused by the onslaught
of a minute organism which secretes
itself beneath the scalp and attacks
the roots of the hair-causing il to
lose its life and fall out.
This organism cannot be got rid of
except by the free and persevering use
Of Newbros Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
effected the Dandruff surely disap-
pears and hair health is restored
when Herpicide is applied.

Effect of EIoquence On Kentucky
Jury.

1.-THE most peculiar verdict that was
ever given in a criminal case was rem
dered in the Boyle Circuit court many
years ago, and still stands on the rec
ords of that court said a lawyer from
Danville, according to the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
r. ]. Breckenridge, formerly attor-
ney general of Kentucky, was one of
the lawyers in the case. 1t was just
at the close of the war. Judge Brock
inridge had been captured during the
war and had been in prison for some
weeks, so he was familiar with the
inside of a. penitentiary. The case
about which / am talking was that of
a man who had been indicted for shoot
ing and killing a horse, the property
of Jim Harlan. At that time the crime
was felony, punishable by confinement
in the penitentiary for from one to five
years. The case went to trial and the
evidence showed that the defendant
was undoubtedly guilty, and when the
evidence was all in and court adj
journed for dinner, Judge Breckenridge
decided that his case was hopeessly
lost.
Talk to the jury, Mr.. Bob, said
the defendant. The Judge thought it
was a useless waste of energy, telling
his client that they would rily
convict him. But finally he agreed to
make speech. When court convened
Judge Breckenridge began his speech.
He did not touch on the evidence at all,
but conofined himself solely to paint
ing the horrors of a penitentiary. He
told of the darkness, the loneliness and
the pangs which attack a man confined
in what to him is a tomb. The jurors
did not remain long, but returned with
this verdict, which was read by the
foreman
1--WE, the jury, find that the defend
ant shot Jim Harlan's horse, but not
as charged in the Indictment. +"
This verdict entitled the defendant
to his freedom, being in effect an ac-
quittal. 1t was recorded on the rec
ords and can be found there to-day

that If there is a front anywhere II

THE ARMY CANTEEN.

According to the reports of the
United States army paymasters in the
Philippines there has been a shrinkage
of nearly 81, 100000 in the deposits made
by the enlisted men since the army
canteen was abolished. In the year
1901 there was deposited the sum of
3,43s529. In the following year, the
total was $2,65O250, while for 1908 the
amount dropped down to $1,SS8. OLA
The reports of all the paymasters are
not vet in, but the Paymaster General,
according to dispatches, states that for
this fiscal year the returns will show
an even greater falling off, both in
the number of depositors and the
amount deposited.
This decided decrease following i'm
mediately upon the abolishing of the
canteen, together with it's steady con-
tinuance, seems to Individually estab-
lish the relation of cause and effect.
Indeed, army officers positively state
that it is the direct result of losing
the eanteen. They argue, and the
facts apparently bear out the argu-
ment, that the men now spend all their
money in the saloons at one time, be-
cause they know that it is the only
opportunity they will have to buy
drinks until another month has pass
ed and they are given leave to pass
the lines.
With the canteen-tent in existence,
however, conditions were just the re-
verse. The soldiers knew that they
could obtain drinks of the best quality
whenever they wanted them, and as
result there was no temptation to
squander an entire months pay in
one debauch. The amount saved was
naturally deposited by the men and the
grand total reached large sum each
year. Each soldier had a greater
or less bank account with the govern
ment, to be used in the future in sup
plying the needs of himself or of those
dependent on him. With the loss of
the canteen, these accounts are rapid
ly dwindling.
Apparently the PaynTaster Generals
report destroys the last prop that was
upholding the argument against the
! canteen. The advocates of its abolish
ment argued that drunkenness would
decrease and the morale of the army
be raised. Competent army officers
have almost unanimously reported just
the opposite. The only other argument
for doing away with the canteen was
that it would increase the soldiers saw.
ings and now this is proven untrue.
OF course those who fought against
the canteen were actuated by the best
of motives. but that their theory was
wrong the facts seem to prove. II
would have been better 10 have listen.
ed to the army officers who predicted
that the abolishing OF the canteer
would do harm rather than good The
only way to rectify the error seems e
be to restore the canteen and It ISM
improbable that "A movement in this di.
rection will soon be begun.

Paymaster Glenn, stationed in Manila.
not long ago returned to the United
| States treasury an ''unexpended bal
| ance" of nearly half a million dollars
| from an appropriation made by Con-
| gress; and now Mr.. Glen is in hot
water about it, His commanding Of
! ficer has reprimanded him and told
him that he has not a proper concep-
ton of his duties. 1t seems that Glenn
should have frozen on" to the money
and kept it where it could be made
available by the War Department; but
now it cannot be touched until Con-
gress has reappropriated it. Glenn, it is
said, will be sent home and his place
will be taken by a man who knows
how to hold on to a good thing when
he has got it in his hands.
The tip has been officially recognized
and established as a legitimate item
of expense of navy officers. Secretary
Morton has ruled that officers may ex-
pend fifty cents per day in tips to no.
tel servants and the same amount to
railroad servants, and that Uncle Sam
will reimburse the officers for the gra-
tuities thus distributed The Russian
petty officer fights a week for the pay
that an American officer is permitted
by his government to give away in
tips per day. 1t is difficult to see any
good reason why the United States
government should give away the
money of the taxpayers, through tips
by officers. to the employees of rail-
roads and hotels. Are the railroads and
hotels too poor to pay their help?
There is at least one place in the
United States where mixed marriages

of whites from New England and
blacks from the Mississippi valley.
And it seems that the President of the
United States ought to send a mes
sage of congratulation to DR.. Dowie
for opening the door of hope" as he
has done.
