Drastic action is expected TO be taken
this afternoon by Secretary Bonaparte
IN connection with the recent hazing at
Annapolis, which has aroused the ire of
the entire Navy Department in Wash
ington
Rear Admiral Sands. commandant at
the Annapolis Naval Academy. IN an
swer to "a summons from the Secretary
OF the Navy. appeared at the depart

The conference lasted tili time for the
Secretary u go to the Cabinet meet

turn 10 the Office, ut clock.
Refuse to Talk.
Neither would discuss the conference
for publication, but Admiral Sands
stated that at a conference ne had with
cadet officers al the Academy It was
agreed that hazing in an IT'S forms, in
cluding running voluntarily would be
stopped.
The cadets. Il is understood. realize
that the latest hazing episode, follow
ing so closely upon the death of Nip

far. and they agreed that il should stop.
Admiral Sands is emphatic in his
declaration that stringent methods will
be adopted To prevent further infringe

Congressional Action.
The general impression seems TO be
that a Congressional investigation Will

A GENERAL HONORED WHO HAS
OAusED NO SLAUGHTER.

General Booth, the founder and
head of the Salvation Army, has just
been granted the freedom of the
City" by the Corporation Of London.
The significance of this event is only
to be understood when the innate
and immemorial conservatism of the
city's governing body is remembered.
The old trade guilds, organized for
protection against Kings and mobiles,
still exist in wealthy leisure. The
Lord Mayor still parades through the
city in a yearly show of tinsel and
gingerbread magnifcence. The Sow
ereign is still halted at Temple Bar,
long since razed, and given the keys
Of ong-demolished gates before being
allowed to cross the legendary
bounds of the city, always jealous OF
it's prerogative. The city, which IS
government Of its own within the
new London, is the very home of
conservatism, to use the most euph-
emistic name that can be applied.
Naturally the freedom of this sacred
place, although but name for many
score years, is not lightly to be
granted.
Hitherto the corporation has us
ualy conferred this honor upon dis
tinguished statesmen or soldiers.
When men lived in caves they hon.
ored the slayer of dangerous beasts.
When they advanced to the tribal
state they honored the great slayer
of alien tribesmen. 1t was case of
slay or be slain. The custom still
lives, although it's reason is dead.
The great soldier is hailed with more
enthusiasm than is ever lavished up
on the great inventor, the great ply
sician or the great ilanfhropist.
And the Corporation of the City of
London has held fast to this tradi-
tion, as it has to many others. Yet
even here. a change is manifest
General Booth is honored, thotgh
he has not slain his thousands, like
Roberts, or his tens of thousands,
like Kitchener. He has, indeed,
done nothing but make light the
dark places and reach out hand to
the sinking That such man
should receive an honor that a VIC
torious general does not scorn is
cheering indication that the world is
progressing, and that mans human
tty to man is no longer deemed the
outcome of a weakly sentimental
heart.

PARRY'S OPEN SWEATSHOP.


Do the American people know why
Mr.. David M. Parry is so anxious to
destroy trade unions? Perhaps this
fact will throw flood of light upon
the question. The labor commission
er for the state OF Indiana reports
that during the year 1904 the aver
age earnings of carriage and wagon
workers in that state was $6.9S a
week. The employees of D. M. Parry
received below the average, some
thing like $3.50 per week. 1t is said
that the average wages paid by C..
w. Post, the successor of Parry as
the head of the Citizens Alliance, is
no greater. but he can afford to have
a 100000 pleasure yacht and to
spend another $4,000 for a page ad.
abusing unions and telling false
hoods about them. These are fine
gentlemen to initiate by mouthing
their phrases and snarling at unions
that are trying to uplift the great
mass Of workers and prevent them
from being forced into the sweatshop
conditions that Messrs. Parry and
Post would plunge them. These men
are traitors to the American people.

INSURANCE 4 POLITICS: THE
COMBINATION OF THE TWO.

The one account which the ordin-
ary business man fears, that which
it is his duty to look out for, is his
annual bill of insurance. As a rule,
this charge is to most people about
as much as they can afford to pay.
The man who insures his life does
not do 1t for his own benefit This
Is, OF course, self-evident PROPOSE
ton. He insures it for his VIE, for
his child, or for some member of his
family. Obviously he cannot do this
for himself.
Men invest money for their own
individual profit. They take "a
flyer in Wall Street, hoping to
make themselves rich. They invest
little money in stocks or bonds,
hoping to make profits, but the nom
who insures his life does it as a rule
with the perfect knowledge OF the
fact that he will never profit by it,
but that his wife or child will.
Now comes the head of an>insur-
ance company in the United States
making 1t clear that the money so
invested has not been used for the
benefit of the people for whom It
should be-.
1t has been used at times to help
political parties. j:
1t has been used more than once
to enrich men connected with the or
ganization. " -
1t has, in fact, been the system of
the insurance company now under
investigation, which has no doubt
been the system of the others. to
take away from the men who are
saving their pennies in order to in
sure the Future of their wives and
children, and to use these funds for
the profits Of the individuals and
for the advantage of political pa .ty.
and to do so that a few men NAV
become rich, Influential and po1iti-
cally powerful :~t
No finer example of what is popul-
arly called easy money" can be
found than in Judge ANDY" Hamil-

MIR. PRINTER AND MIR. BOSS.

The printers strike Is by no
means a one sided strike. 1t was
not brought about with a days agi-
tation, nor was it created by the en-
thusiasm of a morbid lot of union
lists. 1t is merely the logical result
of the advocacy of the principles of
organized labor. Printers differ
from most other tradesmen. Their
work is such as to tend to conserva-
tism, while most other men who
labor yield to radicalism.
Whenever the printers decide on
plan of action it Is the result of con-
stant and applied study. They do
not jump at conclusions in hurry.
Their one fault has been their tim
idity. Learning and their close
knowledge of the affairs of their
employers has caused this.
One who has studied the trade
union question is not slow in recog-
nizing that the printers have been
the most consistent of all the trades
in their plan of organization.
Though they have entered many.
fights for more equitable conditions,
and have lost some OF them. they
were usually prompted by right
eous impulse. They have always
been led by able men, and in the
midst of this struggle for the eight
hour day they emerge with a clear
conception of a we'll defined purpose.
The employers, combined in their
typothetae, never were, nor can they
ever be bitter opponents of the
union. If the local situation was
left to the calm and cool judgment
of the local employers the matter
would have been settled without a
contest. We charge that they
are influenced entirely by out
side people who have no inreres, IN
the matter save to defeat organized
labor.
A good many true and honest
people are in doubt whether or not
the position of union labor is ten
able. Occasional strikes attended
by violence and assaults on propety
and persons have chilled the hearts
of thousands who might be the
friends of union labor. But this
strike is not conducted on that or
der.
The printers are orderly, gentle
menly, law-abiding and tolerant.
These qualities have given them
strength and have placed them in
the front rank of workingmen who
are compelled to enter radical
struggle for more equitable condi-
tions. :;
Why should the employers make
such bitter struggle against, the
men who have always proved 20 be
their friends and wealth builders?
The local employers are Left entirely
in the dark for an answer. They
may make statements of wrong
doing by the printers, but these can
not be believed by the people of Du-
luth who are familiar With the char
acter of the men who go to make up
the membership Of the Typographical
union.
If our advise is worth anything,
and even if the Labor World Is pre-
JUDGED in favor of the union, we
would say to the members of the
typothetae: Stop your nonsense,
and make peace with the only or
ganization of workingmen which is
capable of insuring the success of
your industry" -.
