HIS RIGHT TO DRINK
Unknown Lawyer Went to Some
Trouble to Get Even with
the Judge.

A western lawyer says that he was
once in a court in Missouri when a
young man most fastidieusly dressed
sauntered into the tempe of justice
None of the officials Of the court had
ever seen him before, and as the pro-
ceedings We're unimportant and some
what tedious, it CHANGED that the
stranger attracted some attention, re-
lates LippincOtt's Magazine. On his
part he eyed the judge narrowly, "sized
up" all the attorneys, Grummed loudly
on the bench in front of him, and
finally rose and sauntered up to the
bar, where he poured out for himself
a glass Of iced water.
The judge presiding. a nervous and
testy old fellow, had himself observed
the young man, and by his frowns had
given evidence of his ,disapproval.
When the stranger had boldly marched
up to: the bar and had taken the water.
it: looked as If the judge would boil
over with indignation at this exhfbi.
ton of temerity, amounting almost to
contempt THAT water, sir" roaree
the Judge, sis for attorneys and other
officials Of this court"
Whereupon the strange young man
turned red and left the courtroom. But
the court was to see more of him; for
in about half an hour he returned, bear
ing in his hand a roll of parchment.
The judge now glared at him in the
most savage manner, but the young
man finched not. Finally, during a lulI
in the proceedings, the eccentric young
person addressed the court:
Your honor!":
What is it. sir?": :. -
Il, wish, your honor, to submit to
this honorable court, MY certificate OF |
to practice in the supreme
court and all other courts Of this
well what of tkat?" growled his
honor:
Simply this, your honor. Now that
[ have presented the proofs of my ad-
mission to the bar, / would now move
court that I be permitted to drink

Memorial Day Address.

an acceptance of its invitation to de-

and it also stops the clank of many
tipples in Iowa, West Virginia, Mich
igan and Kentucky.
Probably all the miners in western
Pennsylvania will be ordered out, to
the number of 100, 900.
What will be the result of this tre-
mendous industrial war? How long
can it endure? The daily bread and
very existence of 5000, 900 people de-
pend upon the wages which will be
sacrificed. Will the struggle be COM
paratively peaceful or will the turbu-
.lence which has marked most strikes
be used by the less self-controlled
miners to enforce the, demand which
has been refused?
Much depends on the results of the
negotiations between anthracite Oper-
atOrs and their miners, for If peace
overtures fail in the anthracite field
as we'll as the bituminous, the strug-
gle will be a titanic one, reaching
from the Delaware to the Missouri
river and south throughout the soft
coal fields of Kansas, Indian territory
and Oklahoma to Texas. 1t is not at
all improbable that not less than $780,
900 coal miners will be lOafing before
the end of April. No time of the year
could be better for a protracted siege
by the workmen, and that is one of the
elements OF strength which determined
the strike long before the conferences
were begun. The suspension will be

Dodies. The hard work Of the con-
sentative leaders in the national or
ganization has accomplished very
much, but the most desperate situa-
ton has been brought about by the
increasing numbers of the radical and
soclalistic element, which regards a
strike too lightly.
Would Incorporate Union.
During the final joint conference at
Indianapolis the Illinois coal operators
began advocating the incorporation of
the United Mine Workers of America,
us assets to consist of the amount of
strlke fund accumulated at this time
or on hand at any time. This is the
hrst case known where employers have
uehniteiy urged the plan which theor-
ists IN discussing labor troubles have
urged as a remedy. Economists of
distinction have urged that the incor-
poration of unions would diminish tbe
number of strikes, practically do away
with violation Of contracts between
employers and their men, and give
both capital and labor an equal stand
ing before the people. No less a ner.
son than the general manager of the
Illinois Central railroads coal com.
pany, A. ]. Moorshead, was n
for this movement, which may grow
to historic Importance.

the unions are financially respon-

Is violated by the employer, be or thk
corporation Is now responsible to the
unions or their members; the reverse

earnestly seeking equality and fairness
III thelr relations with employers they
ought to be willing to assume this
financial responsibility"
The Illinois Coal Operators associa-
Ion took no action, hut favored the
'ian and 1t is likely later to be given
ormal recognition by the association.
Nhat such action might lead to in the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The 18th

sea level, which is to be reached by a
flight of locks built at Gatun, on the
Atlantic side, by one lock at Pedro

the Pacific side. The locks are alf-to

The summit lake will be formed by
the construction of a large dam at

A second lake with surface elevation
of ffty-f1ve feet, on the Pacific side.
will be formed between Pedro Maguel
and Panama Bay by the construction
of a dam at La Boca, across the mouth
of the Rio Grande and another dam be-
tween Soca Hill and high ground near
Corozal.
From the Caribbean Sea to the mouth
of the Mindi River a channel is to be
excavated having a bottom width of 500
feet and depth of forty two, feet be-

BRYAN SPEAKS ON TRUSTS.

Remedy for Evils of Combines.

OMAHA, Nov. 2.-William j. Bryan
spoke tonight at the Auditorium in
this city to a crowd which put stand
ing room at premium even in that
vast building. Despite the fact that
Bryan had delivered nine speeches in
as many towns in the northern part of
the State today he was in good voice
and showed no sign of fatigue
BRYAN referred to recent speeches
made by Vice President Fairbanks,
Secretary Bonaparte and Secretary
Taft, dwelling especially upon the
speech made by Mr.. Taft at Omaha
night before last. He pointed out that
all of them referred to the trust ques-
ton and. while recognizing the i'm
portance of the subject, presented no
remedy. He ridiculed Bonaparte's sug-
gestion that the important thing was
to keep the big trusts from crowding
out the little ones, the Secretary hav-
ing compared the big trusts to hogs
that crowded the little ones away from
the trough.
Secretary Bonaparte's concern. said
he. seems to be that some of the small
trusts are not getting their share.
