Their Property or Our Lives?

1t would be ridiculous to contend that
President Roosevelt il always right,
but he is right oftener than the average
statesman, and IN this controversy with
Chairman Wadsworth. of the house
committee ON agriculture. concerning
the meat inspection amendment. he is.
to quote from the letters of 10th. very,
very" right.
Mr. Wadsworth and some of his col
leagues make great ado about the
property rights" of the beef barons, ms
if property rights were something above
the right of men to life itself.
The right that any man has in prop
erty is based upon an agreement among
men. 1t is no higher than this agree
ment, which is their law. 1t is granted
to him that he may have an equal op
portunity with his neighbor TO live and
enjoy the fruits Of his toll
In return for this privilege he has Of
possessing property he is under obliga
tions to the rest of the people of the
community in which he lives that ht
shall not use this property to the
jeopardy of their lives to the injury Of
their health nor to their harm in any
way.
! When he does he forfeits his right t.
| the property that he hold< through th'
sufferance Of those he sinned against
| He puts himself and his property be
vord the common protection guaranteed
under the agreement that men mak'
with each otter when he violates tina
agreement.
| Property rights are not sacred as thes'
beef trust representatives 10 congress
are now contendine They are s1bJec
to the right of man to live and he m2l
protect his life even to the destruction
of the right of property.
The issue that Wadsworth and tht
other representatives OF the beef trus
have raised in congress may be properly
entitled, The beef barons' property, OF
the peoples liyess"
And in this which is the sacred or thu
higher right?
There is law recognized by men thu

And there is not syllable in tina

The time may come when the Wads

fact that Grifiuehles has been coupled
by the authorities with the Bonapartist

now has been staunch supporter oil

ton were searched by the authorities thi:
morning.
NJ. Levy, head of the Labor Confede-
ration, was also arrested to-day on the
charge Of being connected with the al
legged plot against the government. II
liz stated that the arrest of many other
known roysIists and B)napartists is i'm
minent.
The peaceful manner in which Sun
day passed has considerably treasured
the TeopIe generally as to the prospects
for May Day, when so much trouble has
been threatened. The precautions de-
cided upon by the authorities in order
to prevent disorder are being kept up,
as only in this way can trouble be avoid.
ed since il is inevitable that the labor
organizations shall have a big demon
stration tomorrow.
The employees of the leading cOrpors-
tons have decided to abstain from work
tomorrow. and then either declare q
strike on Wednesday, or else leave their
work at the end OF eight hours labor.
ReinfOrcements are still pouring into
the city for the purpose of preserving
order, and it is estimated that 10000
soldiers ere now here, while more are
coming all the time.
Inasmuch rs the indications are that
it will be impossible to buy food in
Paris tomorrow, all citizens have been
laying in supplies to carry them through
the day. The prices of meats and
vegetables have risen from 10 to 100
per cent, while the grocery stores have
been unable to fill their orders. 1t is
estimated that 80, 900 hams have been
bought by residents of the city during
the past week, in addition to great sup
plies Of canned goods.
While there is II better feeling OF Sc
curity in the city at present it is iEpos-
sible to predict what tomorrow will
bring.
The situation will depend entirely
upon the action taken tonight when the
various committees representing labor
ing organizations will meet at the labor
exchange to outline their final plans.
