terests Of the people and the labor trust
Is always active to push through bills
drafted IN the interest Of that trust but
directly contrary to the interests Of the
people as n whole. Witness the anti
Injunction bill By which labor unions
seek to tie the hands of or courts and
prevent the issue of my order to re-
strain the members of that trust from
attacking me- or destroying property.
Such a bill is perhaps the most infam-
Gus insult to our courts and the COM
mon people ever laid before Congress
and the Representatives in Congress
must be held to o strict accountability
for their acts relating thereto. But
when bills come before Congress that
nre drawn in the interest of all the
people they should receive the active
personal support of the people and the
representatives be instructed by the
citizens. The Senators also should be
written 10 and instructed. If. there
fore, you will remember your privilege
and duty yo- will at once-now-write
to your Congressman and Senator on
this pure food bill. Clip and enclose
the COPY herewith presented and ask
them TO make q business of following

it. Urge its being brought to a vote
and requesting that they vote for It.

Sir Alfred Harmsworth, speaking
of "The Making of the Modern News
paper" in The World Today, says:
"As one of the younger men engag-
ed in the making Of newspapers, l am
very willing that our present-day
wares should be compared with those
that went before. I came into the
business at the end Of the Bohemian
era. Today, alcoholism Is as rare in
Fleet street as it is in any other pro
fessional quarter. No person who
spends his leisure in a pothouse could
maintain his place amidst the strain
and stress of the production of a daily
newspaper. The journalist of today Is
as often as not a journalist tout court.
He is not an unsuccessful barrister,
and he has not adopted journalism as
a means to some other occupation.
The prizes may not be as great as
they are in one or two instances at the
bar, but they are Infinitely more num-
erous. The social position is as good
as that Of any other working profess
sion. The brain equipment must
needs be as complete"

Where He Was.

A noted man in Springfield was
Michael Clancy. a contractor, who had
become rich. He bought a string Of
horses and entered them for the Sara
toga meet. He raced his horses for
the fun of It, and rarely bet. Ore day
he had a horse entered that seemed to
have so excellent a chance to win that
he bet $40 on it.
When the horse got away Clancy
stood in the grandstand watch ag them
through his field glasses. Some Of his
friends, knowing Of the $40 bet. crowd
ed about and began to joke him.
where's your horse now?" Clancy
was asked.
Clancy surveyed the field carefully.
Il can't quite make out" he replied,
whether he is last in the third race
or first in the fourth. "-Cleveland
