Concealed in the text of the new
municipa1ilaw the perfidy of the COM
gregation has prepared miserable
trap.
The Unionist House of Delegates
should congratulate itself, it ought
to feel prtNd for having passed
that so called autonomic and scientific
law which by its foolish admirers
has been termed measure giving
greater guarantees to the Portorican
municipal life.
The Republican minority has also
failed to note the deception conceal
ed in the celebrated law and the
Congregantes wink at each other
with keen delight over the trap
set for the country.
The effects now begin to be mott
ced. The protests are unanimous,
the trap set with treacherous perfd-
iousness has been discovered by the
intended victims, and the assembling
of the League of Municipalities, of
an extra session of the House of
Delegates, collective protest aga
inst the politicians is now being
talked of, course rendered imper-
ative by necessity.
The Portorican municipa litieS have
been converted into insignificant de-
Tendencies of the redemptionist con-
gregation, they have lost their per
sonality and are condemned to tot
ally disappear.
We do not exaggerate; we are not
sounding an unwarrantcd note of
alarm; we are not unnecessary alarm
lists.
The reality is more serious than
can be portrayed in these comments;
thc reality is alarming and gives the
impression that it is impossible to
have things done here in good faith.
The Alcaldes of various towns of
the Island are arriving in San Juan
for the purpose of seeking in the GEN.
tres where it is natural TO look, for
the means of preserving the muni-
Icipalities from the treachery of the
rcdemptionists.
And that which they denounce is
astounding. 1t is truly extraordina-
ry.
The grim Intentions which have
been discovered in the hidden trap
in the article of the municipal law Of
the third of March, the purposes Of
which have been laid bare, show very
clearly that the congrcgantes are
incapable of feeling any remorsc or
regret for their grave errors and
monstrous abuses, unwilling ITO fol
low any other road save that Of dis
2ster, and knowing no other ideal
than the one of brutal feudalism
which the regime has established.
How clearly can it be seen what
the contumacious functionaries pro
pose to do with us and our institut-
ions those insuhcrable tutors who
have forced upon us the present in
quisitorial regime!
The blow aimed at the Legue of mu-
nicipalities was dealt without danger
to the Treasurer in the treacherous
emcndation introduced into the pre-
scnts municipal law; but this time
the blow is not confined to the Lea

was charged at the gate, and about
$40 was raised, which will be used
in the work of the church. The
only unpleasant feature of the
evening was that some Mexicans
also took a notion to have an egg
hunt, and when the ladies discov-
cred them they had succeeded in
obtaining quite a number of eggs,
and had collected dozen or more
in one pile, preparatory to grand
feast. The appearance of the ladies,
supplemented by a policeman, shat
tered their dreams of an Easter egg
feast, and no further trouble was
had.

People of Brownsville awoke
Sunday morning 10 a new order OF
things. All business houses were
closed for the first time i'll several

day appearance. Tie cause of the
lid being on was a petition present
ed to the authorities asking that
the Sunday law be enforced, and
notice to that effect being given.
One of the results of the closing
here was a noticeable increase in
the number of Brownsville visitors
to MatamoroS, and an increased

and business houses of our sister
city, where the Sunday law is not
in operation.

There is no reason why trade unions
with membership or one thousand
should be as poor as a village barber.
Unions are business organizations
and they should adopt business prin-
ciples. When legal advice is needed,
there is no reason why a union should
not employ good lawyer instead Of
the cheapest one in the city.
| TN times of peace prepare for
war;" is motto to remember. Many
strike or injunction might have been
prevented if the union could have
drawn a check for $4,000.
| So far as the average court is con-
cerned, it is hard fact that trade
union can get only as much justice as
it can pay for.
| Law today is no more than battle
between lawyers Pure, impartial JUS
tice is as much a dream as heaven
on earth.
The only sensible thing to do, there
fore, is to recognize the unpleasant
truth and act accordingly It is cold
comfort to feel that you we're RICH.
when the other man gets the verdict.
A large proportion of the battles for
social progress are fought in the
courts, and trade unions must make
up their minds to bid against corpora
lions for the employment of the best
legal talent in the country.
There should be legislative conf
mittee in every city to attend to NUM-
cipal ordinances, another legislative
committee ir every state and ma
tional legislative committee at Wash
ington.
These committees should not only
approve or disapprove of bills, they
should initiate legislation; they should
prepare before every session num-
Der of bills which will have fair
chance of beirg passed, and have
them presented by the most infiuen-
tial legislators they can secure.
This is the way the trusts get leg
islation. They employ a legal spe-
cialist to draw up a bill, and then
have It introduced into the legislative
body and pushed through by lobbyists
and the party machine.
Trade unions should follow suit.
They should not initiate the trusts in
demanding unjust privileges, but they
should initiate the trusts in controlling
legislation.
When the general public perceives
that the trust legislation always means
some special unjust favor, and that
the trade union legislation always
means an enactment for the good OF
the whole nation, il will not be long
4 before trade unionists obtain the full
measure OF political power to which
their numbers entitle them.
! It is time for unionists to realize
that the boards of aldermen, legisla-
lures and congresses are not anti-la-
Dor They are not "capitalistic."
The average legislator today has no
convictions, no liked policy, no unal-
terab1e ideas. He is simply pro-pocket.
His main desire is to be reelected,
and therefore he can be controlled as
: easily by an organization representing
thousands of votes as by corporation
, representing millions of dollars. 81

(By Herbert N. Casson)
There are, all told, about two mil
lion unionists in the country; and it
| is fair estimate to state that there
are 100000 citizens not in unions
whose cooperation can be depended
upon in every struggle for better con-
ditions.
| This great army of three millions
has never yet shown it's full strength.
It is split up by political partyism-
republican, democratic, socialist and
prohibitionist. 1t has never yet had a
program upon which it could unite
| The following is therefore suggested
as a rough draft of such program,
to be used as guide by individuals,
unions or societies.
Every locality has, of course, its
own local questions which are of i'm
portance; but there are some reforms
for which every good citizen should
work
The first duty is to fill up the gaps
in the unions. If there are $4,000 men
in the trade, there ought to be $4,000
men in the union.
Every man who is out Of the union
is a menace 20 the whole trade. He
is like a hole in a bucket-he is moth
ing when he ought to be something.
Out Of every 1,50O unionists, only
ore is volunteer organizer. That is
not enough. There should be at least
one per 1000
to be an organizer, address Frank
Morrison, secretary American Fedora
ton of Labor, street, N. W., Wash
ington, D. C.
The trade Union that thinks only OF
it's own interest is sure to come tC
grief sooner CIR later
It's place is in the Federation, where
lit can help to carry on the work OF
organization among the millions OF
wage workers who are still overwork
ed and underpaid.
The American people will not stand
for a little aristocracy of labor any
more than they will for little arts
tocracy of capital.
If the IS a day unionist does not
lend a hand to the poor chap who is
out of work, or who is Shaving for $40
a week, then the SIS a day man may
find some morning that the latter has
taken away his job.
No union, however strong, can keen
wages up when there is crowd OF
unemployed workers clamoring at the
factory gates.
Therefore it is to the interest OF
every union to look after the interest
of every worker, skilled and unski1led
The slavery trades, as they de-
serve to be called, in which the unOr
ganized workers are entirely at the
mercy of their employers, must be or
ganized from the outside, as the poor
d1udges seem to have lost all power
of self-help.
Steps must also be taken to organ
iZe the farmers. No one is more use
harder or is more at the mercy of the
railroads and trusts.
The trade unionists and the farmer
must learn to cooperate. Their in
terests are the same on all importan
social questions, and when they com
bine politically, the reign of the d.
Nothings will be ended.
The use of the union label on uniol
made goods is no longer an expert

at Brown university. Rev. Mr.. Manning
took for his subject what II Means TO
be a Christian" lie took his text from
the fifth chapter according to st. Luke
And he said unto him, follow me"
Rev. Mr.. Manning then continued I'm
part in a very clear and forcible man
ner: 1--WE cannot define a Christian as
n man, who simply belongs 10 a church
III man wants TO serve Christ, he will
naturally identify himself with the
church. but Just as In war, if a man wants
10 serve his country. he Joins the army;
Il does not necessarily follow thai every
man in the army is a patriot Much less
some are traitors and eowsFds.-so An the
church we cannot simply call a man a
Christian because he belongs 10 a church
The shallowest nonsense Is that which
proclaims that Il makes little difference
what he believes. II only he lives a good
life Character comes out OF creed. and
is an expression OF what man believes
and thinks.
I'VE cannot define a Christian as n man
who experiences certain emotions, because
feeling fuctuates on account OF tempera-
ment, turn. health and other conditions
The only complete definition OF what Il

means to be a Christian is the Oldest
one. To follow the example OF our Saw
iour Christ. AS long as a man tries TO
do that in so far is he a Christian. To
follow Christ must mean 10 want TO
live the kind OF life that Jesus lived. The
purpose OF true life was to minister, not to
be ministered into. Shall we see what
we can do for the world. or what the
world can do for us. Christ said Blessed
are the pure OF heart Do we stand for
that? Must there be two standards OF
purity, one for our wives and mothers and
another for ourseles? Christ said love
your enemies. DO we believe in that?
ITO be a Christian we must want to
lead the kind OF life that Christ lead;
then we must believe that we can do IL.
This is where faith Is needed. Then We
must begin to do it, Somehow we never
quite reach the point OF doing things.
This is where we fail in our attitude to-
ward Christ. What the world needs is not
SO much a larger number OF Christians.
but better ones. And * we would all at
tain this attitude we should find that the
kingdom which Christ came TO proclaim
was already here"
