Arrested Both Bear and Owner.

Some little time ago an Italian gave
the police trouble in certain small
provincial town, and when the police
were armed with a warrant to effect
his arrest, they were faced with a diff
ficulty which only tact could over
come. The alien was travelling the
country with performing bear,
which he declined to leave even for
a few minutes, and so it was decided
to persuade the man to go quietly to
the station with his animal. Eventual
" he consented, and both keeper and
bear were placed in the same cell,
and next morning duly appeared in
the dock together.

SWEEPING INJUNCTION.
Another Judge Does Bidding Of His
Masters.

The most sweeping Injunction ever
issued against organized labor in Chi
cago has just been granted by Judge
Holdam to the Chicago Typothaete.
1t is worse even than the Infamous
injunction granted in the Kellogg
Switchboard case. By the terms of
his Injunction Chicago Typographical
Union No. 16 is restrained from in
terfering with employees of the big
printing houses. In some respects the
injunction goes much further than the
Kellogg order. 1t forbids not only
picketing about the plants but re-
strains the union also from seeking
in any way to induce non-union men
to leave the employ of the Typothe-
tae firms.
BY the terms of the court order the
striking printers are forbidden to
send circulars to customers to dis
suade them from doing business with
the members of the Chicago Typo
thetae. They are also ordered not
to offer strike pay to non-union en-
ployes in an attempt to induce the
men to leave their places in the shops.
This injunction says no man has
right to offer job to the employee
of another man. 1t also restraints a
union printer from mentioning the
business to a non-union printer. BY
court order the right to free speech
is denied. By court order the right to
employ man already holding a job
is denied, thus enforcing practical
slavery.
But what's little thing like free
speech and individual liberty to a
swelled-headed judge? Tell with hui
man rights-the courts must be re-
spected!

CONFINEMENT v. sATIsFAcr,o

Charles stetzeI Defines Some OF,
Confusing Terms.
Does the church teach that a mar
should be satisfied with his present
condition, no matter what that con
dition may be? Long hours, short
wages, unsanitary workshops. un
healthy homes, uneducated minds
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. The whole trend of it's teach

exhorts men to be content. 1t does
not teach that they are to be salts

There is a great difference between
the two. st. Paul said that he had
learned in whatsoever state he was,
Herewith to be content" He had
learned how to make the best OF

epistle he added: Not as though

Satisfaction is derived from the
Latin words "satis'' and ''facio''-
which mean, making, or having
enough. Contentment is from the
Latin 'fcontineo'-which means, to
contain. or to hold ones self together.
Contentment lies in ones self. Sat.
isfaction is derived from external OBJ
jects. Contentment means the enjoy.
ment of what one has, but it does
not imply that one has reached the
ideal. 1t is not indifference or laziness.
1t does not demoralize character or
hinder noble aspirations or brave en-
deavor after improvement.
1t does not mean, however, that one
is self-contained-the master of ones
self. No man can reach out after
better and higher things until he has
conquered himself. Solomon, the
wise king, once said: HE that ruleth
his spirit is greater than he that
taketh a city"
And so, the church is with the toll
err in his struggles after better things.
1t does not teach that a man must
be satisfied. 1t does teach that a
man should learn to be content and
SO does commonsense teach it.

Decision Worthy Of Solomon.

In the Pekin Times this story is
told of a troopship during recent
voyage from Hongkong. In the WON
ems cabin were four wash basins, one
of which was much larger than the
others. There were three women in
the cabin, whose husbands were about
equal in rank. There was great dis
cussion as to which was entitled to
the big basin. It was at last referred
to the captain, who gave decision
worthy of Solomon, saying: 1T is
only fair that the oldest lady should
have the biggest BASIN" That basin
was not again used during the whole
voyage home.

LANSING LETTER.
Governor Warner Has Been Busy I'm
Examination of Enactmepts
Awaiting His signature or Veto


Governor Warner has put in very
busy week, even for him, during the past
seven days; and yet he found time IN the
intervals Of examining the big grist OF
bills left for him by the legislature, to go
over to Cassopolis and make speech TO
the pioneers on Wednesday, and then run
down to Ypslant and review the first
regiment Of the national glard. and give
some good advice to the people at the
Homecoming celebration in that charming
city on Thursday. He is now practically
through with the examination OF the bills,
and he has found occasion to withhold his
approval from only very few. One OF
those, of considerable prominence though
of only local application, was the Detroit
civil service bill, which he found defective
in some of its important provisions, es-
pecially that which would have required
the appointment in every case Of the can
didate receiving the highest markings in
the examination regardless OF any other
elements of fitness, instead of providing
eligible list from which selection could be
made.
The Detroit police court stenographer
bill was also defective in naming wrong
section to be amended so that it would
have abolished the court for which 1t pro-
vded stenJgrapher Among the latest
acts signed was the so-caled antitrust
act, forbidding combinations and agree
