BONAPAR7E BARS jAPs
To SAFEGUARD NAVY
Japanese Steward Spys on American
WarshIps, and Now All Must Be-
come Citizens or Quit Service.

New York, June ALI Japanese
are to be excluded from the American
navy on July / until they produce
citizenship papers or a signed de-
claration that they intend to take
them out In future no Japanese will
be allowed in the navy unless he re-
nounces the mikado in favor of the
stars and stripes.
Orders to drop the names of all
alien Japanese from the papers of
every warship in this country have
been issued by Secretary Of the Navy
Bonaparte. He further directs that
the places of Japanese who have been
employed as stewards and servants
are to be filled by American negroes.
The story is told by officials of the
American battleships now at anchor
in the North river that less than a
month ago a midshdpman discovered
a Japanese steward making plans Of
the turrets of one of the latest types
of warships.
The Japanese personal effects were
searched by order of the commander
of the ship. It was discovered that
he had been working for weeks on
plans of the ship and that he was an
exceptionally fine draughtsman.

Stock Yards Are Dumping
Ground for Animals Not
Saleable Elsewhere.

There is every reason to believe that
much diseased meat is disposed Of by
unscrupulous stock owners within the
state Of Minnesota and consumed by
the unknowing public.
The reason for this is twofold. First,
Minnesota is the natural dumping
ground of western cattle which will not
be accepted in Chicago, as this is a
transfer and feeding point for stock
In shipment. Second, there is practically
no inspection Of meats by the state
and thus 1t Is easy to slaughter and
sell sickly stock that will not be ac-
cepted in the eastern market.
City n Feeding Point.
On the great ranches Of the west
disease frequently exists among cat
tie. The law requires that stock must
be fed and watered at intervals in
shipment. The twin cities are q con-
venient feeding distance between the
western plains and the Chicago mar
ket. Diseased animals are sure to be
condemned at Chicago. What is easier
than for the stock owners to "cut out"
such animals at the Minnesota feeding
and transfer point, and sell them at
what price the sickly stock will bring?
II inspection prevents their slaughter
at one point, they are transferred to
some nearby slaugthering place where
there is no inspection. Once an animal
is slaughtered and the carcass dressed,
sible. No inspection is, therefore, ef-
fecient unless made both before and
after slaughter.
City meat inspectors spend prac-
tically all their time looking at meat
when 1t Is dressed and regulating the
sanitary conditions Of retail shops.
They do little or nothing towards pre-
venting the use of diseased meat. Their
work only reveals tainted meats and
an occasionally badly diseased carcass.
The executive agent Of tho livestock
sanitary board. created by recent
legislature, does what he can to pick
out and condemn diseased cattle, but
the law under which he operates was
formulated for the benefit of bettering
the stock arising business and not for
the inspection and condemnation Of dis
eased meats.
Inspeetfon at Three Points.
- There is: practically son1y an .insper:
tion Of meats at three points in the
state, and that is by government in
spectors. These points are South St
Paul, Duluth and Austin. The inspec-
tors draw their remuneration from
the federal treasury and are of no ex.
pense to the abbattoirs. Federal in.
spection Is only granted at abbattoir:
| where cattle are slaughtered for ex-
port trade and In large quantities.

HIGHER STANDARD Of
AMERICAN MANHOOD
Plain Talk to President Roosevelt
by Leading Writer for Union
Labor,
Some Good Thoughts on the
Presidents Recent Scolding
to Labor eMn.

Maurice Lynch does not take kind
ly to President Roosevelt's scolding
Of union labor In commenting on the
strange position Of the president he
says:
When a. delegation representing Or
ganized labor recently called on Pres
dent Roosevelt, Messrs. Cannon ana
Frye, for the purpose of calling the
attention of the nations chief magls-
trate and his advisers to the deplor-
able neglect OF Congress in the enact
ment Of legislation necessary to the
welfare Of the working classes OF the
United States, and also to their fall
ure to enforce the laws that are now
on the statute books, the delegates
received some very unsatisfactory re-
plies. They were told that the inter-
ests Of the working people were
thoroughly locked after and that the
delegates should look to their duties
as American citizens.
Judging from the manner In Which
the President answered the delegates,
he fancied himself as a father rebuk-
ing a refractory child, but did you
notice a few days later the change of
attitude? Mr.. Roosevelt asked, Mr..
Gompers to furnish him with proof
Of violations of the laws and stated
that he would see to it that restrlc-
tions would be placed upon these
violations. Mr.. Cannon thought that
organized labor was unfair In calling
upon them unawares and not giving
time to frame answers to petitions
presented.
Whatever may have been the cause
of the presto" change of front or
the part of these heads of the govern
ment, remains for the people to think
about. Possibly they did not see thai
they were unjust towards organized
labor, or probably they found thei1
mistake is not being courteous to the
representatives Of over 100000 O.
the voters Of the United States.
We read through the daily papers
the opinions Of the various prominent
men Of the country. Some contend
that the President is noted for his
answering rigidity Of purpose. O.
course, Senators Bailey and Tillmar
don't think so. Still 1t does not seem
to be the same motive that actuateC

text in an editorial in the New York
Independent. The editor said:
In moral right all men are the true
owners of natural advantages not Gre
ated by individual men, and of all arti-
ficial advantages created by act and
authority o. the state"
The greatest moral need Of this age
is that men should appreciate that
definition Of their property rights and
should get the intelligence to assert
them.
Before the discovery of borax beds
In this country borax was duty free
and could be had for three cents a
pound. When invaluable beds of pure
borax were found in Death Valley,
congress put a duty of five cents a
pound on borax. Since then the price
OF borax has been seven cents. A
granite-ware manufacturer in Pittsburg
says that this difference in price adds
$4,000 year to the cost of his out
put. This is an example of what is
meant by artificial advantages cre-
ated by act and authority OF the
t state"
Last April farm Of sixty-one acres
In Fayete county, Pa, sold for $4,000
an acre. For agricultural purposes
this farm may have been worth $4,000
but it sold for $4,000 because there
was coal beneath the surface.
The st. Charles hotel is one Of the
landmarks of Pittsburg. The build
ing would hardly be worth wrecking,
the value being all in the site. Twenty
years ago the present owner, bank
er, reluctantly took hotel and site for
bad debt of $4,000. This site is
now worth $750,000. These are ex-
amples Of the natural advantages
which in moral right belong to all men.
The great trouble with us is not
that we lay too much stress on mine"
and thine" but that we have per-
mitted the monopolist to take ours"
Communism is the invasion of in
dividual property in the interests of
all. Monopoly is the invasion of COM
mon property in the interests of the
few. Both are intolerable. Keep
thine. Give me mine. Let us share
ours equitably. Then, If any is given
away, let it be as the heart prompts,
not as the state commands. To
Utopia there is no shorter way than
Justice. s'' Q" .~:

FRENCH LABOR ASKS ...
A SHORT SATURDAY
Movement for Half Holiday
Gains Force-Strike on
Seine Weakens.

Paris. June 7.-France has not vet
had her full mea sure Of labor troubles.
In nearly all the trades the demand
for what is called the English week."
for a half holiday on Saturday, is be-
coming more and more pronounced.
The clerks and shop assistants are sup
porting the engineers, who were the
first to put forward the claim for early
closing on Saturday. It is pointed out
that many shops have to keep open a
part Of Sunday because on that day
alone are men of the working class able
to make their purchases. With a Sat-
urday half-holiday generally adopted
in factories there would be no need for
the shops in question to open Sunday,
and the employees would obtain the full
days rest already enjoyed in England.
The number Of strikers in the de-
partment of the Seine is showing a
considerable decrease from day to day.
This has resulted largely from the ac-
ton of the directors Of the principal
automobile works, who Informed the
authorities that great majority Of their
men would return to work If they were
assured af escaping molestation. The
| directors accordingly requested the
authorities to supply strong force of
police and troops to surround the works
and keep strikers away from the en-
frances. Arrangements were made ac-
cordingly, and at one Of the largest
works 1890 out Of $500 men went to
work on the day Of the agreement. The
strikers, who hooted them vigorously,
were kept at distance by the troops.
The arrangements thus made will be
continued as long as necessary.

PETRE HAS some. GOOD
THOUGHTS ON COURTS
Holds That the American Judi
ciary Is Not Above Criticism.
Their Decisions Analysed.
Supreme Court Itself Offers
Greatest Rebuke to Its Own
Close Decisions.

Our country has well known bound.
ary lines established by our national
government and acQuiesced in by all
the powers of earth. But the simple
fact that the territory, called the
United States is within these bound
aries does not of itself make a United
State, in the full and broad sense of
the term, nor establish, nor guarantee
that its Inhabitants are a free people.
To attain and perfect our liberties
among many things that might be
mentioned, two things at least must
exist. The most important of these is
a free and intelligent ballot, and the
other a free, fearless and competent
judiciary. A common notion has pre-
vailed that courts were above criti-
cism. that their edicts and judgments
must be accepted by all without ques-
ton as to the reasoning on which they
were based; so prevalent has become
this notion, that even our press has
rarely had the temerity to attack, or
point out, the errors of judicial de-
cree-manifestly unjust, unreasonable
and inimicable to the liberties Of our
people.

are not and have not been infallible.
The decisions Of any appellate court
in our land, including the highest tri.
bunal-the supreme court of the
United States-will point out a
crooked road of inconsistency; they
frequently reverse themselves, they
frequently decide cases with imper-
feet knowledge Of the facts in issue;
they are often biased from political or
social consideration, of which they
may be unconscious-so fast hold
has the sacred rights of property and
the possession thereof obtained over
the minds of the judiciary, that the
laboring man having personal injury

arm or a leg, or whatever the injury
may be, that all legal doubts are re.
solved to the disadvantage of the la.
boring man-the one who has not.
The burden on him is usually to
prove his case beyond reasonable
doubt, same as the rule is applied to
the state in criminal case against a
defendant. TO be more specific, in
regard to judicial defects, our United
States supreme court affords a potent
illustration. A great many decisions

DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary Of the

STElzlE WRITES ON
QUOTING SCRIPTURES
Tyrants Have Tried to Justify
Their Position by Quoting
Passages from Bible.
The Fact That the Bible Makes
Certain Statements Does Not
Prove Its Truth.

Chicago, Ill.,, June 1o-Rev. Chas
Stelzle this week writes on Quota
tions From the Scriptures" as fol-
lows:
History abOunds with instances in
which tyrants sought to justify their
position by quoting Scripture. Even
the devil quoted Scripture to fortify
his position and to strengthen his ar
gument. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that his disciples have some
times followed his example.
Men have recognized the value Of
having the Bible back of them in a
particular controversy. 1t was com
forting to feel that they could quote
so strong an authority, although it re-
Imagination to make them believe
that the Scripture quoted applied to
their case.
1t is great thing to have the Bible
indorse ones position, but most men
proceed In this matter, first, with a
wrong motive, and, second, in wrong
manner. They frequently seek to &C.
cure Gods approval Of their own self
ishness and general meanness, and
then they will accept only so mu6G. Of
His testimony as seems to harmOnize
with their own ideas and purposes.
Their opponents may be guilty of the
same faults, with the result that the
Bible Is made out to be book full Of
contradictory statements, and neither
side will accept the others arguments,
even though both seem to quote from
the same authority.
The Bible Is an inspired account Of
what God has said, of what the devil
said, of what men, good and bad, have
said and done.
The fact that a certain statement
is found in the Bible does not neces-
sarily make it true. 1t all depends
upon who made that particular state
ment, and its value depends, also,
upon the circumstances under which It
was spoken. Much that is found In
the Scriptures Is intended only for
certain people. This does not refer
to moral standards, but to other obli-
cations and to special promises.
It should be recognized that the
Bible is not book Of mere state
ments. It is an historical account of
certain developments in the lire. OF
particular persons and nations. These
facts have an accumulative value, It
also presents commands and promises
which were given by inspired men OF
old. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the moral and ethical stand

The black mother had the comfort
