prevented by detail OF so policemen.
AS the procession was about to start
the leaders were informed that the
red flag could not be unfurled, and
that if the parade took place at all 1t
must be with the flags tightly rolled
The men in the parade, 200 strong
started with the flags and marched to

where meeting was held and
speeches made under the eye of po-
lice who had orders to break it up ii
the utterances of the speakers became

When the column was passing the
corner of Congress street and Ogden

the flag bearers, unfurled his red flag
and was at once arrested Several
companions attempted to take him
from the police and the officers drew
revolyers and declared that they
would fire if any attempt was made to
interfere with them. The marchers
gave way when the weapons were
drawn, but threw stones after the pa
troll wagon that carried Wad2ilnslli to

A POLICEMAN'S LIFE Is NOT A
HAPPY ONE.

The fundamental function of a po-
lice force is to prevent crimes and
catch criminals. Certain minor and
incidental functions, as well as vari-
Gus incidental faults of individual po-
licemen, says Golfers, are often so
magnified and dwelt upon that this
single basic duty is lost sight of.
Judged by lis efficiency along this sin
gle line, The New York police force is
one of the most successful institutions
in the world. Every once in awhile
one observes examples of it's effect
iveness which seem almost incredible
and impress one anew with the
strangeness of truth compared with
the fiction of even Sir Conan Doyle.
The other night, a little German sa-
loon in The Bronx, called eur Ewigen

from his beat, returning from a visit
to friends in Brooklyn, had seen the
murderer board a car, and with no
more to guide him than some sort Of
intuition which told him that that
man had recently been engaged in
crime, arrested the murderer, took
him to the station, and waited for
the telephone to bring some message
as to what the crime was and where it
was committed. Incidents like this do
not figure in the newspapers as do
stories of police corruption. The pris-
oner who escapes is more unusual
than the one who is caught, and con-
sequently gets more public attention.
The police, like most other people,
suffer from the fact that simple de-
votion to commonplace duty does not
make good headlines.

full reader of our columns must be

Senator Finds Work Hard,

Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, in
conversation with friend the other
day, laughingly observed that if he
had any idea as to the amount of
work he would have to perform he
never would have taken the job as a
member of the United States senate.
There seems to be absolutely no end
to It," he said. "My secretary tells me
that answer on an average 1875 letters
day." The correspondence of SEN
ator, although the dreariest drudgery,
is not so laborious as the hard work
of committees which he is called upon
to perform, nor does it consume as
much of his time as the endless rou-
tine of social engagements.

when | had finished The Jungle
went through it and cut out everything
that sounded like preaching. Here is
one of the paragraphs which cut out
the best statement l can make upon
this question:
"Once upon time a great-hearted
woman set forth the suffering of the
black chattel-slave and reused CONT
nent to arms. She had many things
in her favor which can not be counted
on by him who would paint the life of
the modern slave-the slave of the
factory, the sweatshop, and the mine.
The lash which drives the latter can
not either be seen or heard: most peo-
pie do not believe that it exists-it is
the cant of the philanthropist and the
political convention that it does not
exist. This slave is never hunted by
bloodhouds; he is not beaten to pieces
by picturesque villains nor does he die
in ecstacies of religious faith. His re-
| ligion is but another snare of the OPP
pressors, and the bitterest of his mis-.
| fortunes; the hounds that hunt him
are disease and accident, and the vii
lain who murders him is merely the
prevailing rate of wages. And who can
thrill the reader with the tale of q man
hunt, in which the hunted is lousy
and ignorant foreigner, and the hun
tiers are the germs of consumption,
diphtheria, and typhoid? Who can
make a romance out of the story of
a man whose one life adventure is the
scratching of finger by an infected
butcher knife, with a pine box and a
pauper's grave as the denouement?
And yet it may be just as painful to die
| of blood-poisoning as to be beaten to
death; to be tracked by bloodhounds
and torn to pieces is most certainly a
merciful fate compared to that which
falls to thousands every year in Pack
Iingtown-to be hunted for life by bit
ter poverty, to be i'll clothed and badly
housed, to be weakened by starvation,
cold and exposure, to be laid low by
sickness or accident--and then to lie
and watch while the gaunt wolf of
hunger creeps in upon you and gnaws
out the heart of you, and tears up the
bodies and souls of your wife and ba-
bies.'"

doubt that w. r. Hearst is going to
put up lively fight for the governor
ship of New York this fall.
The Bryan boom has dimmed the
luster of Hearst's candidacy to some
extent, but the Hearst men are de-
voting all their attention to the pres
ent and they freely predict that they
will land the yellow journalist in AL
bany with 100000 votes to spare.
Hearst showed remarkable strength
in the national convention, and a
comparison with the Roosevelt vote
in the states that were out-and-out
for Hearst shows that the New York
er was coupled with the president in
many of the western states.
The total received by William r..
Hearst for the presidential nominal
ton in the Democratic national con-
vention at st. Louis in 1904 was as
follows: California, 90 Colorado, 5;
Florida, 4; Illinois, 54 Iowa, &c; Kan
sas, 10; Maine, 1; Minnesota, 8; Ne.
braska, A. Nevada, a; Oregon, Q;
Rhode Island, 6; South Dakota, 8;
West Virginia, 1; Wyoming, 6; Ari-
IONA, 6; Indian Territory 1; Hawaii,
6; New Mexico, 6, and Oklahoma, Q.
The territories having no votes in
the electoral college, it may be in Or
der to recall that in the foregoing
states which gave the whole or part
of their nominating votes to Mr..
Hearst the result was as follows:
Roosevelt's pluralities: California,
115,S22; Colorado, 34,5S2; Illinois,
SO5,O39; Iowa, 1876; Kansas, 1885,
O93; Maine, 36,791; Minnesota, 161,-
1854; Nebraska, S6,6S2; Nevada, 1855;
Oregon, 1894; Rhode Island, 1876;
South Dakota, SOFIA, and West vir,
ginia, 31,765.
Despite the bitterness of the ultra
conservative element in the Democ-
racy toward Hearst and his ilk, prac-
teal partisans who are out to win and
in whom the Bryan renaissance has
planted new hopes are determined to
conciliate Hearst and if possible to
make him factor in what they pro-
fess to believe will be the Democratic
landslide in 190S.-Pocatello Tribune

QUIET IN ATLANTA.
The Soldiers Have the Situation Well
 In Hand,

Atlanta. Ga, Sept 24.-The situa- tion this morning in Atlanta follow ing the recent race riot is quiet on the surface. The authorities believe that they have the city under control. Last night passed without serious dis turbances. although many people were on the streets until late hours. The total number of dead is ex- tremely difficult to estimate. Ten bodies of those killed in connection with the riots of Saturday night have been prepared for burial. It is reported on seemingly good author ity that several bodies have been taken away for burial and next equally, probable that some have not been reported to the police or other authorities. The exact number of dead is not likely to be known for some days.
 Various startling rumors of trouble have been brought to the newspaper offices, but nine-tenths of these have been proved absolutely without foun- dation, and in other cases great ex- aggeration was shown.
 Sixteen companies of state infantry are on duty here and will be kept for some days. The entire city is being patrolled, even to the limits of the residence sections. The outlook this morning. therefore is encouraging and the passing of last night without serious trouble is considered hope full sign.
