DENOUNCES STRIKES
Cardinal Gibbons Cites
"Grasping Monopoly
Avarice."

Washington, Sept. 25.-The Evening
Star prints extracts form an advance
copy of Putman's Monthly for October
in which Cardinal Gibbons discusses la
Dor question. He declares himself as
strongly opposed to strikes and boy
colts. as means of settling difference
between employers and employees. He
denounces trusts and corporations, and
speaks of the "grasping ayariee of the
monopolies"
While he approves the banding to-
gether of workingmen for their own
those elements of organized labor,
which stir up unnecessary dlscord. He
says:
Strikes are a questionable remedy
for the redress of the laborers' griev-
ances. They paralyZe industry and
often lead to the destruction of prop
erty."
Cardinal Gibbons declares in favor of
arbitration and says the American
workingman is better paid and lives
better than his brethren across the At
lantic. After condemning methods of
boycotting he adds that labor leaders
should be possessed of great tact, firm
ness and superior conservative ability.
The unions" he says, should ex-
clude from their ranks the turbulent
element who boldly preach the gospel
of anarchy, socialism and nihilism."

ate Term.

larceny in the superior court yesterday,
were sentenced to the womans prison

in the sentence were fines of SEQ on
each OF the prisoners, which was the
amount they robbed the prosecuting
witness, Gus Kohler. Of.
In arguing the motion for a new
trial, Attorney J. n. Couroy inadvertly
referred to the Sears woman as this
lady" but corrected himself later by
using the term this defendant"
After denying the motion for a new
trial on the ground that the evidence
against the Sears woman was
hearsay. Judge Reiter declared the
proof of the defendants guilt was eb-
solute The court further commended
the courage Of the victim, Gus Kohier
for prosecuting the charge, from which
the majority of men robbed under such
circumstances would shrink.

Missouri Executive Hits Out
at Government Ownership
Plans Sees Ruin.

Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 24.-Gov. Folk
OF Missouri addressed the Tennessee
homeeomers at a banquet tonight. The
tariff and state rights were his topics
He claimed that the establishment Of
government ownership and the curtail-
ment of state rights would sound the
kneu OF democratic government.
THE elimination of unjust privileges
conferred by law" he said, lis q moral
question. Any privilege is a graft.
whether it be a privilege exercised con-
trary to law or one that the law itself
may give. A tariff so arranged as to
create monopoly and TO giy~ rev
people the privilege of preying on the
rest of the people is legalized graft.
Considered from this standpoint, the
tariff Is a moral question. But as an
economic question merely, monopoly
tariff is indefensible under the condi-
lions that exist today
Discusses state Rights.
Another question the democratic
party should make an issue is the right
of the states in all matters not delegat-
ed to the federal government. When
the states came together in convention
to form more perfect union, each
Italy or Germany is today.
The proposition has been repeatedly
advanced of late that the federal gov
eminent should take charge Of all cor
porations, especially railroads. When
the constitution was being framed the
proposition was made in the convention
that the national government issue
charters of corporations; but little at
tention was paid to the suggestion.
Government ownership or the issur-
ance by the federal government OF
charters to all railroad corporations
would be fraught with the gravest dan
gers to the liberties of the people. Let
there be placed in the hands of a presi-
dent of the United States the power to
control every corporation in the land
and there would be lodged in his hands
power that would sooner or later de-
stroy democracy"
