THE necessity for issuing 100000
in emergency warrants should be a
warning to the legislature in regard
to extravagent appropriations.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1905-01-13

Although the people demand econ
omy, State Auditor Halladay has
urgently recommended economy and
business sense in regard to appropri
ations, and the state board of regents
has stated that no appropriations are
needed for new buildings for our
educational institutions, it looks as
if an effort will be made to work the
Legislature for every possible cent.
OF course these appropriations are
subject to the work of the pairing
knife, but it would seem that those
making the estimates had placed the
limit high enough to allow for the
pairing and then have more than is
really needed.

A Friendly Daily Paper Calls Attention to a
Menace That is Growing

You startled at what is taking place in
Russia. Five hundred years ago the people of
Russia were free. They held district meetings
and national meetings. Their listened to
their demands and granted Them They lost
their liberty by Being separated by being
beaten in detail. They sank in condition Of
slavery that made African chattledom in COM
parison delight Now they struggling
to get back what they have lost
Thus injunction after injunction has taken
away from the who tolls III the sweat of
his face his right to property, liberty and hap
piness. Labor is his property Now, in this
year the right of assemblage and of free speech
denied to organization OF workingmen
on the application OF an organization of
ployers after two-thirds of the employers have
agreed to what the workers ask.
You destroy the prosperity OF the working
class and you strike vital blow at the life
OF this nation.
These printers want what every other honest
workingman wants-decent hours and decent
wages for all. They are seeking to elevate the
standard of living among workingmen. They
are trying to get away from the conditions that
are prevalent when workers iron collars.
The result of this injunction is to paralyze
one branch of the producing classes for the adj
vantage of class that buys labor at the lowest
possible price and gives to the seller voice
in what he has to offer.
You destroy unions and you break down the
ing over courts of law, legislatures, congresses,
councils. and will have an absolutely free hand
if it can break the toiers into disorganized
mob, and thus beat them.
The printers-1nembers of trade that has
made possible the civilization we have and are
in danger of losing-are an intelligent, edit
Gated class of men. They are good citizens;
they obey the law. Against them rule of law
is turned that should go but one jump further
to denounce their union as a conspiracy.
1t is time that the rights of the who asks
nothing but right to get living wage and
living hours for his toll be defined in the last
courts of appeal
There should be an appeal from this injunc-
ton issued by Judge Holdom.
The people of this nation still stand for the
liberty OF every man and the right of every,
man to the full enjoyment of his liberty labor
and property. If the courts have so shaped the
law to destroy any Of these things the people
will that the true intent of the trainers of
the law is carried out.-Chicago American.

The Central Labor Union had larger at

A CONGRESSIONAL FoUR-FLUsH.
Introduces Bill Calculated to Tickle but Not
Help Railroad Men.

The Washington dispatches convey the in
telligence that Congressman Norris Of Nebras-
ka has introduced bill to prevent the EN-
ployment of railroad men beyond a reasonable
number of hours at a stretch His bill provides
that any railroad engaged in interstate COM
merce cannot require or permit any conductor,
brakeman. engineer, fireman, train dispatcher
or telegraph operator who has worked con-
tinuousy for twelve hours, except i'll cases OF
casualty or unavoidable emergency, to again go
on duty or perform any work until after eight
hours of rest. The violation of this law IS
made a misdemeaor, punishable by a fine OF
$500 for each offense The interstate commerce
commission is directed to enforce the provis-
ions o fthe act.
That sounds very good-but it will not de-
ceive the railroad men. In the first place rail
road men are not compelled to go out after
long stretch of work, having the right to claim
time for rest In the second place there is no
possible chance for the Norris bill to become
law In the third place, the introduction OF
the bill will serve good purpose. but will
have the effect of interfering with legislation
that would be of material benefit to the en-
ployes of railroads. Congressman Norris is
mistaken if he thinks that the railroad men in
his district arc silly as to be deceived by
any such antics.

GoMPERs ON CHILD LABOR.
President of American Federation of Labor
Chief Speaker at Big Meeting.

Washington, Dec 9-President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation of La
Dor was the chief speaker at todays session
of the national child labor commission. Mr.
Gompers refutcd the charge frequently made
that the federation is not sincere in its oppo-
sition to child labor and acts through selhsh
motives. He declared that labor organizations
were the first and have been the most success
full advocates of laws against child labor. With
out any outside help, Mr.. Gompers said, Or
gained labor succeeded in having such laws
enacted in Alabama Tennessee, Texas and
Oregon.
Laws protecting women workers have been
championed by organized labor. Mr.. Gompers
mentioned the attacks which have been made
on labor organizations in the south tor their
advocacy of laws protecting children and DIS
cussed the conditions In southern factories
where negro children are excluded and white
children employed exclusively The result
is the negro children in school while the
whites work. Mr. Gon1pers declared, and the
very men who DISTINGUISHED negroes are now
working great injustice to the whites OF the
laboring classes.
Elbridge T. Gerry Of New York, the leader
in the movement to protect children. was quot
ed by Mr.. Gompers saying that the nope
for anti-child labor lies with organized labor,
which has been behind all the legislation SO lar
obtained There is no division of opinion now.

WHY WAS 1T NECESSARY.
If They are Good Union Men the Passing of
the Petition Was Useless.

1t is learned from the Cedar Rapids, Ia,
Tribune that at recent meeting of the local
Typographical Union petition pledging every
member to purchase nothing but union made
goods was endorsed, passed around and signed
by every printer present.
We don't see anything in that announce
ment to arouse our enthusiasm. If those print
crs are good union men they have been buying
only label goods all their industrial lives. If
they are good union it was waste of
time to endorse and sign that paper. The mere
fact that they union men should be suffi-
Gent guarantee that they purchase nothing
but union made goods To endorse and pass
such paper in Typographical Union ought
to be sinful waste of time that would be care
for a union printer to sign pledge that he
will purchase only union made goods! It's
enough to make genuinely union printer hang
his head in shame. 80.

said that it time to compel committees to
get out and hustle bit.
The delegates expressed themselves deter
mined to have an organizer OF the Federation
in this district, and it was unanimously decided
to make an immediate demand for one and ask
the other central bodies in this district to join
in the demand. The labor temple committee
reported progress and given time.
Some encourag ring reports for union labor were
made and the delegates present appeared to be
we'll satisfied with the reports

which employees several thousand drivers and
does most of the heavy trucking in wholesale

We admit that the intention of the republics
founders that this should be government
of lava government of laws duly enacted by
men chosen for the sole purpose of enacting
laws. But it has come to pass that it is gov
eminent of the people by ukase of a federal
judiciary appointed and controlled by arro-
giant corporations. Federal Judge Munger
gives Bartlett Richards nominal sentence of
SIX hours in the custody of the United States
marshal for stealing $4,000 acres OF govern
ment land. Federal Judge Mcpherson gives
1aboring man four months in Jail for violating
an order of his court. 1t is a greater crime
der present day conditions to violate federal
judges order than it is to steal $4,000 acres
of land. For two years the United States has
been vainly trying to bring Armour to justice,
but it took only thirty-six hours to apprehend,
try and sentence to the penitentiary a couple
of poor devils charged with trying to black1nail
Armour. Armour holds up and robs the public
of millions, and can not be brought to book.
But poor devil who tries to hold up Armour
for paltry thousand or two soon finds himself
behind the bars.
And yet federal judges like Smith McPher-
son command respect for their courts and peo-
pie wonder why there is growing disrespect
for the courts.

GREAT TRADES UNION VICTORY
Open Shop Advocates Garry Their Case Into
Court and Meet With Decision That Balks
Them in Their Efforts to Legally Crush the
Trades Unions-A Decision That Carries
onlfort to Unionists Everywhere.

The following interesting account of a court
decision favorable to trades unionisn is taken
from the Philadelphia Trades Union News
The Wageworker calls especial attention to it
because 1t affords CLEAN of sunshine in the
general gloom of court decisions against the
welfare of the producers of the country:
Something over four years ago the Protect
i've Coat Iallors and Pressers' Union of New
York entered into an agreement with Morris
and Louis Cohen, contracting tailors, to fur
nish men for their shop, conditions that the
Cohens would employ none but members of the
union.
The union had previously had agreements
with the firm, which the latter had violated as
suited their wllim and in order that they might
be held to their promise the organization de-
manded security. The Cohens were unwilling
to deposit cash forfeit, but gave note for
5000 as guarantee Of. good faith.
True to their instincts and their record, how
ever, the firm, after the contract had been in
force about a year, violated the agreement by
declaring for the open shop and employing
nOn-urion men.
Suit was brought by the union on the 5000
note and judgment rendered thereon in spe-
cial term of the supreme court in BROOKLYN
Judge Garretson presiding.
The Cohens appealed, basing their appeal on
the claim that the contract against public
policy and therefore void

tons of employers The American Industries
devoted columns to the dissemination of the
glad tidings that the union shop illegal;
that contracts providing for the union shop
against public policy and therefore void
that contracts for the union, shop being unlaw

A Chicago judge even went SO far as to de-
clare from the bench that the New York de-
cision made a union contract violation of
criminal law and that both members of
ion and employers signing such an agreement
might be prosecuted criminally.
But the Tailors Union carried the up
to the court of appeals, the court Of last resort
in the state of New York That court has
handed down decision concurred in by the
full BENCH that the contract valid and that
the Cohens, having violated its provisions,
must pay the note and the costs OF the suit.

Latin word Conversation" is, more
over, ito turn around" and this e x
preston can not be hard to under
stand.
Among the mistaken notions about
conversion is that it Is a physical
experience, some thrill or rapture
which is based upon the nerves of
sensation. and many people try to
base the certainty of their conversion
on the memory Of some such physical
emotion. To do SO is contrary to all
the teaching of the Bible. To await
for such an experience is utterly need.
less, and may result In the loss Of the
soul. The only possible basis for
ones certainty Of salvation is the
pledged word Of God, the promise that
everyone who accepts Jesus Christ
as Lord and Savior shall be saved.
God has 20 promised, and this "im-
pregnable rock" of His eternal pledge
is the only foundation on which a
penitent sinner a firmly rest.
Every other basis is false.
A definite experience of conversion
is indeed a good thing for anyone to
have had. a sort Of milestone by
which to measure the religious jour
ney. but 1t must not be made a foun-
dation for trust. Above all, it must
not be made a test for other peoples
conversion to be measured by.
For the sinner, then, to turn
around and be as a little child to-
wards God, Is conversion. 1t Is, con-
cisely phrased, the making up Of the
mind to do this. The sinner Is one
who has his back to God: to be con
verted he must turn around" keep
his face toward God, and SO learn

What are the characteristics of
childhood, of unspoiled childhood?
The speaker said, the first trait
of childhood is that II believes
things, How astonishing is the
child's readiness to believe what
those il trusts tell It. No marvel can
stagger the believing of a child that
has not been deceived; no promise is
TOO great for It to believe fully. So
to become a little child towards God is
to put implicit belief in His word-in
what He has said about sin, and about
forgiveness. Is II not a most reason
able thing for men to stop disbeliev-
ing Gods testimony and TO begin to
believe? Again. the child exhibits
the trait of obedience. It's nature Is

around II. So Jesus said, Follow Me-
when He taught the way OF life!
Another trait Is docility. to be fiex.
'ble under the training hand of a
higher life, that is, TO learn with full
trust in the teachers wisdom.
The speaker went on TO say that
men could not have the evidence OF
conversion before they were convert,
ed. They often put off decision by
aging. II | could have or know the

Dir. Mcdonald still firmly believes

His change of fortune has rather

with a spirit of careless bonhommie

interests for him as in his palmy

Labor sympathy does not seem to
