POLICE COURT

There were no criminals at this
mornings court, so only a short So
cial session was INDUCED in. One
wayfarer asked for shelter the night
before and he was accommodated
We let him have the easiest couch
in the bastile. What dreams must
have been his, as he slept surrounded
by the spirits of the mighty iags
who had occupied this same bed.
While the force were engaged in
discussing the relative merits Of
vidocq and Sherlock, one of the
finest rushed in and told Of an ac-
cident that had happened on his beat
last night. 1t seems that large
wagon crowded with passengers had
broken an axle, and three or four
passengers had fallen off. They
were thought to be seriously injur-
ed, but were speedily revived at CON
venient dispensary. The break in
the axle was patched up and it start
ed on again, but the officer thought
that none Of the passengers would
reach their destination. The vehicle
he said, looked like a large water
wagon.
Excuse us while we run a few
scales-$3 and eosts-sounds just
like 1905.

KING OF TRAMPS
NOT A HIGH CARD

The attraction at the Grand opera
1ouse last night was "The King of
Tramps." A fairly large audience
greeted the actors. We believe there

"rhe King of 1'ramps" takes its
name from. As tramp is supposed
TO be an outcast of society and dis

slbly "The King of Tramps" is the
worst ever.
This play proved, however, that
the public likes to patronize the
theatre; also that cheap prices APP
peal to it. If only the long suffer-

prices then would come the managers

these three words to produce the
proper effect, II is extremenly diff
fcult, but is a life-saving speech for
a play like "'rhe King Of Tramps."
The chief feature OF the play was
the crematory scene. This plant
was located on Long Island. In
fact the clrief industry Of Long
island is in planting various sorts
of crops, and holding them for a fu-
ture market. The crematory is a
distinct menace to the business in
terests of Long Island. As is well
known Long Island consists Of ceme-

OUR ENEMIES AT WORK.

Inc hoFHlnS news OF the JLn
inst. published with goulish glee
an article alleging dissatisfaction
in the ranks of the State Fedora
ton Of Labor and cites the with
drawal of the Structural Iron
Workers local union, of the city of
Wheeling from the Federation to
substantiate their statement, who
1t goes On say, allege that the
State Federation is a political or
ganiZation conducted in the in
terest of certain parties. 1t must
have been a sweet morsel for the
News to chronicle, as it never lets
an opportunity escape to put in a
knock against organized labor,
and nothing would please it more
than to see labor's forces divided
at this particular time.
The direct cause for the with
drawal of the union in question
can be traced to a deep laid scheme
fostered by the enemies of labor to
create dissatisfaction and distrust
among the mem bership and if pos
sible disrupt the organization, as
they realize that unless something
of the kind is done that the FEEDER
alton will force the issue on certain
labor measures at the coming SEES
sion of the legislature and will I'M
doubtedly receive favorable con
sideration in that connection,
which they wish to prevent at all
hazards.
Their emissaries have been oper-
ating in different sections of the
State posing as union men or friends
of organized labor, and attempting
by all kinds of misrepresentation
and falsehoods TO poison the minds
of the union men against the State
Federation So far only one union,
which has only been member for
short time has withdrawn, but
the indications are that the
State Federation meeting in Janu-
airy, will be the most successful i'm
its history, so the News will have
very little occasion to be joyful.
AS for the Iron Workers, if they
are the true union men we think
they are, they should have hcsitated
before taking such warranted
and unmeritcd action, as it is I'M
usual for good union men to shun
or run from duty, and if they
have any reason whatever to think
that the State Federation is not he
ing properly conducted. it is their
duty as union men to appear on
the floor i'll the convention hall
and make their charges and have
them investigated and not play the
baby act and withdraw from the
organization because of a real or
fancIcd grievance. Their action
places them in an uncnviablc posi-
ton, and shows on the face of il
that they had no just cause for
'N'''' va ~ tIiSll measure
otherwise they would not have been
afraid TO have placed their sup
posed grievance before the couyen-
ton in open session.
1t IS to be regretted that they
have taken this misguided step and
acted so hastily in the matter. but
we Will venture the prediction that
when the safe and sane members
are given time to reflect they will |
realize their mistake and recon |
slder their action in the matter end |

IABOR'S GLORY,

Charles Stelzle, II Will be found |
that the chief glory of the labor
movement was not in what its
leaders gained for themselves nor
for the men who lived during their
generation, but in what they Sc
cured for those who followed. This
fact should make us more generous
in our estimate of the value of the
services of those who are today
giving their hearts and lives to
many a cause which seems to make
but little progress.
We are today enjoying the bene-
fits which have come through the
suffering and sacrifice Of millions
of our fellowmen who struggled,
not receiving the promise, but see
ing in faith the dawning of the day
when their dreams would become
a reality. Stoned, mobbed, living
in exile inf caves and dens of the
earth, wandering about the deserts
and mountains, clothed in sheep.
skins-of whom their generation
was not worthy-these were yet
the prophets and the heroes whom
we yet delight to honor.
Only few centuries ago liberty
of thought was unknown. Every
lip was sealed. The criticism of
a baron meant the confiscation of
the pheasants property. The
criticism of the pope meant prison
The criticism of the king meant
death. Now all are free to think
for themselves. But to purchase
this freedom, blood has flowed like
rivers and tears without number.
To secure the liberty of speech,
1000 battles have been fought.
Still fresh in our minds is the pic
ture Of those Russian workingmen
who contributed their blood to the
common fountain, so that greater
liberty might come to the masses
in that country of the despot.
But SO we find it everywhere.
Vicarious sacrifice is the law of
nature. The sun ripens our har-
vest by burning itself up. The
valleys grow rich because the
mountain has been robbed of its
treasures, until it grows bare of
of trees and shrubs and earth.
Millions of living creatures give
their lives that the coral islands
might be produced. Our treasures
of coal mean that great forests
have fallen for our factories and
furnaces.
For the sake of the worlds pro-
gress the common people have suf-
fered most. In times of war as
well as in times of peace, the
humble home Of the toiler has been
the real battle-ground of h umanity.
Here hearts have been broken and
souls have been crushed. Here
long vlgils have been kept which
have whitened the hair and dark
encd the vision.
The present age, too, has it's
duties. Grateful for what Others
have won for us. we cannot be in
different to the needs of the com
ing generation. Upon us is laid
the task of hewing out new paths
and blazing the way to better
things.
What, then, shall be our heri-
tage to our children What shall
