 T believe American labor should be protected against Chinese labor and against the entering wedge of Oriental conditions. If American man were able to fight in the tropics they are able to work in the tropics if properly paid and properly cared for.
 T believe the tariff should be modi- lied and public ownership inauguratad. but that both should be done cautionsly and conservatively. I believe in the restraint and regulation of trusts and monopolies by law. I believe in the prison penalty for the responsible rap- resentative Of criminal combinations.

LOOK FOR HERBERTIAS A HUMAN BEING
BOOKkEEPER OF RICE DRY GooDs
 COMPANY MISSING.
Police Asked to Assist in Locating Him Apparent Shortage of S2OO in
 His Accounts Is Averred

Police of three cities are looking for E. J. Herbert. Assistant Manager and bookkeeper of the Rice Dry Goods Company. who is thought to have left Montgomery with between S20O and $500 of the firms money. Telegrams have been sent by Chief of Police Tav- Tor to the police departments of Bfr- mingham and Mobile. while the de- partment in Montgomery is on the lookout for the missing man.
 As the case appears at present, no positive information has been obtain ed that Herbert, who has not been seen by his friends since Saturday evening. has taken anything not belonging to him. Neither does any one know he has left the city. He has been miss- ing from the store. however, since Sat urday evening. and S200 which Is thought to have been taken in during that day. has not been found
 The Rice Dry Goods Company is operated by Julian and Gus Rice. The latter has been in New York for sev- erai weeks purchasing his fall supply of stock. During his absence. 1t has been the custom of Julian Rice to go to the store and check over the days receipts with the missing bookkeeper, who temporarily was in charge of the establishment.
 Saturday evening. Mir Rice went to
 
 keeper. was informed by one of the clerks that Herbert had left the store about TAO o'clock that evening. saying he was going home to supper. Inquiry revealed that his wife. who lives at S07 Washington Avenue. had heard nothing of him.
 Examination of the cash drawer the police say showed that in the neigh. borhood of $200 worth of goods had been sold during the day. The cash drawer was empty. Mir. Rice reported the matter to the police. and announced his intention of swearing out a war rant. The police immediately notified the police of other cities, and began a search for the missing man in Mont gomery. Nothing has been heard from him.
 E. J. Herbert came to Montgomery from New York about a year and halt ago. Until six months ago, he was em- ployed with the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. Four months ago he married an estimable young woman In the employment of the latter company. who Is now prostrated by his disap- pearance. His friends scout the idea of and believe he has been called from the city on businss No one, however, so far as could be ascer- tained, has heard from the missing man.

W.R. HEARST SPEAKS
GUEST OF TRADES ASSEMBLY OF
 SYRACUSE.
Says the Producing Classes should Stand Shoulder to Shoulder Against the Exploitation of
 the Corporations.

Syracuse, Sept 3.--W. R. Hearst, as the guest of the local Trades Assembly addressed nearly 5000 persons here to- day. In the course of his speech Mir. Hearst said:
 '"rhe producing classes should stand shoulder to shoulder in the struggle against the exploiting corporations. 1 have been a member of the labor com mittee In the House of Representatives and know the attitude of the corpor- ations on the wage question. The in- sincerity of these corporation attorneys before the committee has been made clear to me in several ways. I have seen attorneys for protected interests appear before the Labor Committee and ask for cheap labor fin order to compete successfully In foreign mar kets and I have seen these same att torneys for. the same interests on the same day step right across the hall to the Committee on Ways and Means and ask for higher protection. in order to pay higher wages.
 "The Erie Railroad has just increas- ed It's earnings. but the talk in 1nan- ciaI centers is not of increasing in pro- portion the wages of its employee or of diminishing in proportion the freight rates to the farmers The talk is simply how much more watered stock can the Erie issue and pay interest on.
 The laws are maue 10 IhVOT the CUT porations and they are largely made by attorneys for the corporation. Judge Parker. a typical corporation attorney. says there are enough laws and that the people do not need or desire any more. say ther care more than enough of the wrong kind of laws, but enough of the right kind of laws. I do not advocate a strictly labor union party. I do not urge class distinction but the abollshment of 1t.
 My program is no socialism or radi- caIism or extreme of any kind. I call it Americanism. And to my mind it Is simpl a plan to put into practical operation the American theory of gov- ernment.
 "I believe in the retention by the peo- pie of the public franchises. l believe in public ownership of public utilities. But the qualification for public owner ship is honesty in office and independ- ence In voting.

 Marblehead. Mass, Sept. 3.-America scored a decisive triumph over Ger many In the first race of the series for the Roosevelt cup off here today. The American yacht Aux owned by Charles Francis Adams. second treasurer of Harvard University, won In the nitial contest by a large margin.

 Practically the contest was entirely between Aux and Vim. At no time did the German craft or the CarRmba be- come dangerous. although the oft-ex- pressed desire of the German yachts men for plenty fwind was granted.
 At the start which was 11:10 a. m., the wind blew at rate of from 12 to IS miles an hour directly from the southwest but when the yachts were ready for the second time over the triangular course an IS knot breeze was running Rain fell during the greater part of the time. but just be. fore Aux reached the finish line the sun broke through the clouds and the finish was a magnificent picture.
 The race was twice over a triangular course of 1-2 miles to a leg. making a total of 15 miles and the first leg was to windward. There were many score of yachts. large and small on hand, their decks filled with people ea- ger to see the race.

 the one who idles In society. I trust we shall never have in this country a leisure class. if by that we mean we see nothing to do. cannot conceive any place In a well-ro ulated society for men or women who have nothing to do."
 Regarding shorter hours of lahor. Mir. Bryan said:
 T believe In the eieht-hour day and this is why: I believe laborlng men are justly entitled to 1t and that so- ciety at large would be peter If he had 1t. You cannot separate a man from society--you cannot deal with the ques- tion as one purely of class.
 Give the laboring man shorter hours and I believe forces will be put to work which will cause him to make the best of his time. The rich man leaves his children a fortune. The laborlng man who cannot hope for justice under any other government than that which believes in the inalienable rights of man, can hope to leave his children good government which Is better than fortune.

 The Planet Saturn.
 The planet Saturn with its rings may be seen in the southeast in the con- stellation Aquarius This is rather ing, but by midnight 1t is exactly south, and then is in excellent posi- ton for observation. Those who see the early morning star will notice a very brilliant object which appears in the northeast a few hours before sun rise. This is the planet Jupiter, which with it's four bright little moons forms a most interesting object in a small telescope.
 The Planet Uranus.
 @MThe planet Uranus is now in the Milky Way. a little to the west and above the star A. Fig, 1. This planet is usually just visible to the naked eye but at present the difHused light of the cloud of stars which surround it renders 1t invisible except in a small telescope With small glass 1t may be found by the help of Fig. 8. which is an enlarged map of the portion of Sag ittarius enclosed by the square in Fig. i. When found 1t may easily be recog- nized by its steady light and it's green ish color.

It Is known, however, that the planet is very light; a cubic foot of Uranus weighs but one-third as much as cubic foot of our earth. and 1t Is therefore believed that the whole globe is in a very heat ed and probably vaporized condition, similar to that of Jupiter and Saturn. This is in accordance with the welt known fact that large bodies cool more slowly than small ones. The four small planets of which our earth Is one. have already cooled sufficiently to have become solid; unquestionably, In the course of ages the larger planets will become solid also. Uranus Is att tended by four moons. These are lit- tie bodies from 200 to 500 miles in diameter. They are therefore much smaller than our own moon, and are invisible except in the largest tele- scopes.
