LEWIS a CLARK EXPOSITION.
It is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west Of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid Of the government.
And 1t is also surprising what an in
terest IN manifested in tho Exposition
by the people Of tho East. They see
in the Exposition an opportunity to
visit the Western country at a greatly
reduced expenditure Of money, and not
only see the Imposition itself. but view
the wonders OF our Western scenery,
and witness the great resources Of tho
Northwest and the opportunities at
forded. The Great Northern Railway
passenger department has been food
ed with inquiries as to the Exposition,
and it augurs well for big travel
through the Northwest this year.

THE ARREST OF PRESIDENT
SHEA.

President Shea of the Team Driv-
ers' Union of Chicago, was cast into
jail last week. Why he was, even the
powers that be cannot tell, only that
a complaint of some sort was lodged
against him.
It is rather an oddly that when
ever there is a struggle between cap
1tal and labor that it is the leaders
of labor who are cast into prison,
and particularly in a city like Chica-
90.
In 1894 Eugene V. Debs was jail
ed for contempt of court. 1t was
known that nothing more than Jail
sentence could be dealt out to him
under that charge, so he was first
tried for conspiracy. A jury was
empanelled. and everything was put
in order for a fair CD trial, but in
the very midst of this judicial farce
comedy, proceedings were suspended,
and Mr.. Debs was tried for contempt
OF court: His trial for conspiracy
has never been brought about, and
his sentence to Jail was because Of
q court prejudice.
In this struggle in Chicago the
same faisco may be repeated. The
employers, failing in their attempt
to defeat the striking transfers, and
eager for revenge because of their
failure, are now trying to break the
strike by involving the leaders of the
union in costly legal proceedings.
How long will this thing last?
How long will the courts permit
themselves to be used by the prop
#erty interests to intimidate and SUBJ
due labor? There must be a limit
some day. Will they wait until labor
arises in It's might, after It realizes
Its predicament, and takes control
by its right of suffrage Of the ma
chinery Of government, or will they

WOULD MAKE CATTLE

CHICAGO, June 7.-General freight
agents Of western roads met in Chi
cago today to devise ways and means
to secure changes in the laws regard
ing confinement Of live stock in cars
exceeding % hours. Az most Of the
runs to this market and from here to
the east exceed the % hours, it is nee
essary in all cases to unload the stock
for rest and food. The railroads want
the time limit extended to say SO hours
and the shippers desire the same
change. A committee was appointed to
further investigate the question. The
National Humane society is watching
the matter and is opposed to any
change in the law. The limit formerly
was 20 hours but this was extended

upon all legitimate labor organizations
are still fresh In the memory of all.
Just at this time the disruption of
organized labor would be heartily well
coined by D. M. Parry and his asso-
ciates in the Manufacturers association
and Citizens Alliance.
Our affiliation with national and in
ternational unions, Internationally of
obligations, conceded jurisdiction,
trade agreements and union labels and
shop cards, renders it imperative that
we remain loyal to the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and carry on our agi-
tation for necessary reforms among
the membership Of the organizations
affiliated with that body.
While the Wisconsin State Fedora
ton Of Labor is not in sympathy with
many Of the policies Of the American
Federation OF Labor. and while we
stand committed in favor of industrial
unionism, yet we realize that progress
along the lines Of industrial organiza-
ton cannot be furthered by ill-advised
and spasmodic efforts at reorganization
which are sure to result in division
and disruption.
The necessary change and progress
WILL come as natural result of indus
trial evolution, intelligently aided by
continued agitation, education and or

the organization at present affiliated

Resolved, That all affiliated organ

RUSSIA AND CIVILIZATION.

The car of Russia has repudiated
his grand stand play for a more rep
resentative government for his coun-
try. While the empire was in state
of uprising, and in order that the
more conservative of his subjects
might be appeased he agreed to es-
tablish an assembly for the public
disposition. of state matters in &C
cordance with the will of the people.
But his recent defeat in the Orient
has made him defiant, and his latest
announcement is the establishing of
a electorate over the Empire, and
sore day it will be for any one who
dares to question the judgment of
His Imperial Majesty.
From an American glass nothing
has contributed more to the defeat
of the Russian army and navy than
the servility of it's people. We, who
are in the habit of fighting for the
love Of our country, and in defense
of our homes and our flag, have SOME
thing to fight for. There is glory
for us in defeat as we'll as in VIC
tory for the reason that our people
or our government will never stand
for a war that does not affect the
honor of our country.
But how different is it for Russia,
poor bleeding and down trodden
Russia, that country of prosecutors
and dictators, whose will is para
mount to every consideration? The
subjects of this Imperial country
have no glories to claim in victory
and no regrets to offer in defeat.
Few of the people In the land
know Of the fate of their army or
their navy in any struggle. Every
thing to them is reported as VIC
tory, even when they have met with
such defeat as was experienced last
week. Somehow or other the truth
steals into the country, and great is
the dissatisfaction when it is known.
Suffering under internal turmoil
as we'll as foreign reversals Russia
stands out as a pitable example to
the nations that oppose modern CIV
ilization. The Car may resort to
dictators and other means of SUBJ
lection to quiet his people, but it
will not stem the desire for liberty
that is beating in the bosom of every
Independent inhabitant of the coun-
TRY who does not feed at the crib of
the royalty.
After all it is not the war with The
zJaps that is Of so much consequence
to civilization as it is the internal
strife among the Russians. Wheth-
er it be war with the Japs or rebel
lion within the Empire, here is hcp-
ing that civilization will be advaased
by the outcome Of both.

RABBI HIRSCH CALLS A SPADE
A SPADE.

Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, of Chicago,
seems to be a pretty sensible man
and one not afraid to strike straight
from the shoulder. During the con-
stderation of child labor measure
in the Illinois legislature, at Spring.
field. Rabbi Hirsch got the floor and
went after the politicians and pluto
Gratis in manner that made them
vince. He said:
IF child labor is necessary the
sooner our social system is dynamit-
ed into chaos the better If child
labor is necessary our religion has
been a sham. Justice is lacking from
a civilization that requires child la
Dor. Religion is lacking from it. A
social system that can bring about
such condition has forfeited every
further consideration. Aside from
the ethical, we may say that the
child of today is the man of tomor-
row. Stunted in their childhood how
can we expect them to be strong men,
able to do the worlds work? A
man in stunted body cannot be a
good man. There is much talk about
free will, but man with a crippled
body cannot will to do good. When
men grow up with crippled bodies
their souls are crippled likewise.
Does the employer pay for this draft
on the future? No. because it is
unjust and ought to be stopped.
These stunted children of today
must do the work of the world to-
morrow and become the fathers of
the next generation. You employers
may buy the child't time, but you
have no right to take it's future!"
Isn't it marvellous, with labor over
whelmingly in the majority in these
manufacturing states, how low-down
politicians always get into power who
not only sell the people of our own
day and their rights to the privileged
class, but actually have the braZen
gall to place the rising generation
upon the auction block! The devil
never concocted more successful
schemes to torture humanity than
the depraved gangs Of grating high
binders who are elected year after
year simply because they are labeled
Republican" or democratic" and
who, after landing in office, instead
of being servants of the people,"
resort to disreputable methods that
would shame savage. It is high
time that decent workingmen cut
loose from the old crowds of political
wire-pullers and send men into law
making bodies from their own ranks,
If not for their own well-being at
least for the sake of their children.

Threat of the Grave Digger.

In Castine, Maine, there used to live
a man named Ordway. who numbered

grave digger in the village cemetery.
He was very loud spoken and wonder
fully profane.
On one occasion he finished the task
of burying woman pauper, who had
been noted in life for her corpulence.
Mr. Sargent. chairman of the select
men, overlooked paying him. so Mr..
Ordway appeared at Mr.. Sargent S
store a day or two afterward, and be-
gan demanding his pay in no uncertain
terms. to the amazement of the sum-
mer visitors who filed the store at
the time.
He ended his harrangue as follcws:
