ORGANIZED LABOR IN
THE FIELD OF POLITICS
American Federation Has Is
sued Programme and Out
lined Campaign Plan.

WASHINGTON, July 22.--The e9-
ecutive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today made good Its
declaration Of several measures to enter
the field of politics in the interest OF
trades union movement and to urge all
friends of organized labor to elect to
political Offices men known to be IA
vorable to labor cause; At the head,
quarters of the federation the council
today issued it's campaign pro-
gramme," addressed "to all organ
lied labor and friends in the United
States
1t sets out that the trades union
keep pace with the rapid change in in
dustrial affairs, and that the working
people cannot hope to maintain. their
rights or n progressive position In the
varying phases of modern society un-
less they organize and exercise all those
functions which, as workmen and clti-
zens, it IS their privilege and their duty
to exercise.
Demands Equal Rights.
1t is declared that labor makes. no
demand on Government and society
which is not equally accorded to all the
people of this country and that cit can
and will be satisfied with nothing less.
The proposed campaign is based upon
the allegation that little attention has
been paid to the enactment Of laws pre-
pared by organized labor and presented
to Congress, for relief OF those wrongs
and the attainment of the rights t.
which labor and the common people
are justly entitled, and which are es
sentially necessary for their welfare.
The council issues word Of warning
that the movement must not degenerate
into a scramble for office, but that il
should be determined effort, free abso
lutely from all partisanship of every
name and character to secure the leg
islation we deem necessary and essentia
to the welfare and happines Of all ouI
people.
It is expressly urged that If Con
gresham or State Legislator has prove,
| himself true friend to the right o.
labor, he should be supported and II
candidate nominated against him.

JACKSON NOT POOR.
The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.


Early Advantages.
Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged TO the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help of family and
friends.
Never did he taste the bitter cup OF
physical want. Of hunger and cold. Of
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never was he without home and loyal
friends and a sufficiency Of the coEa-
forts Of life. Never was 1t his lot TO
suffer that humiliation. that NORTH
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which the proud nature writhes under
when there is no money in the pocket.
no change Of clothing for the body. no
welcome light in any window In all
the world as the harassed day draws
to It's end and the wretcbed night
comes on.
Poverty! why, Andrew Jackson
never In his whole life had a genuine
taste OF what the cruel word really
means.
Few men have been more greatly In
debted to the intelligent affection OF
self sacrificing mother. Few sons Of
poor parents have had such advan-
tages as were his lot. and few lads Of
poor parents did such a scanty amount
Of manual labor Compared to the
rugged. self taught youth Of Benjamin
Franklin. Roger Sherman, Abraham
\
ton. Francis Marion and Nathaniel
Greene. the boyhood Of Andrew Jack
son almost assumes the appearance OF
having been cast upon '.fiOwery beds
of ease."-watson's Magazine

ARMY AND NAVY.

Upon this subject the message says:
The United States navy is the
surest guarantor of peace which this
country possesses. 1t is earnestly to
be wished that we would profit by
the teachings of history in this mat
ter. A strong and wise people will
ltudy its own failures no less than its
triumphs, for there is wisdom to be
learned from the study Of both, Of the
mistakes as we'll as Of the success.
For this purpose nothing could be
more instructive than rational study
Of the war Of 1912, as il Is told. for
instance, by Captain Mahan. There
was only one way in which that war
could have been avoided. If during
the preceding u years a navy rela-
lively as strong as that which this
country now has had ceen DuiIt up,
and an army provided relatively as
good as that which the country now
has, there never would have been the
slightest necessity of fighting the war;
and if the necessity had arisen the
war would under such circumstances
have ended with our speedy and over
whelming triumph.
81 do not ask that we continue to
increase our navy. ask merely that
it be maintained at its present
strength; and this can be done only il
we replace the obsolete and outworn
ships by new and good enes, the
equals of any afioat in any navy. To
stop building ships for one year
means that for that year the navy goes
back instead Of forward.

CUBAN RESURRECTION.
In dealing with this sbuject the
president says In part:
Last August an instruction broke
out in Cuba which it speedily grew
evident that the existing Cuban gov
eminent was powerl IS to quell. This
government was repeatedly asked By
the then Cuban government to inter
vene, and finally was notified by the
president Of Cuba that he intended to
resign; that his decision was ire
vocable; that none Of the other con-
stitutional officers would consent 70
carry on the government, and that he
was powerless to maintain order.
Thanks to the preparedness OF our
navy, was able Immediately to send
enough ships to Cuba to prevent the
situation from becoming hopeless;
and furthermore dispatched to Cuba
the secretary Of war and the assistant
secretary of state, in order that they
might grapple with the situation on
the ground. All efforts to secure an
agreement between the contendinQ
factions, BY which they should them
selves come TO an amicable UNDER

the president of the republic resigned.
The quorum Of congress assembled

members so that there was no power
to act on his resignation, and the
