Chicago, June 26.-The Standard Oil
Company defed the courts of the United
States today when it told, through its
attorney, John S. Miller, Federal Judge
Lands that his request for information
as to profits of the company was "im-
pertinent, extra judicial and without the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustschisn Tube. When this tube is
inAamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamsd condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

That Our descendants are to be
stronger, better, and wiser than their
sires is the belief of DR.. w. ]. MCGEE,
of the st. Louis Museum. In paper
read before the Anthropological Sec
ton of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science in New
York he advanced this opinion, and
he defends it in an interview report
ed in the New York Times of January
9. Says DR.. MCGEE, as quoted by the
reporter:
The American OF tomorrow will
be as complex i'll descent and culture
as he is today. He will be vigorous,
active, energetic; he will be of excel
lent physique, but he will not follow
any special type. There is no sign
of any tendency for any of the char
acteristics he has derived from his
ancestors to disappear, so that he
may be blond or brunette, short or
tall, according to the stock from
which he springs
CDR. MCGEE was asked if there was
any danger of the American becom-
ing overdeveloped as other nations
have done. He replied
The Americans are very compos-
lite race, and will become more so,

If they are innocent they have moth

RESOLUTIONS OF cENsURE.

From some placc-thc official seal
is dim and cannot be read, although
it looks like some town in Iowa
comes a series of resolutions to the
State Journal. Here are said reso-
lutions:
Whereas, We, the members of To-
cal union No. 274I, u. M. w. of A.,
having individually informed our
selves concerning the case of Messrs.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, now
in prison i'll the State of Idaho, and
having considered both sides, as set
forth by the capitalistic press on one
side, and the labor press on the other
side; and
Whereas, We have observed:
First-That the capitalistic press
has shown continual and persistent
hostility towards the defendants and
the cause represented by them, by
publishing only the accusations and
stories supplied to them by detectives
and other persons, who have openly
avowed their enmity toward defend
ants, and who are so interested i'll
their convictions; and by their silence
III regard to sworn statements and af-
hdavits which have been brought for
ward in their defense.
Second-That we have also OBJ
served the actions of the courts in this
matter; the said courts having also
shown their hostility to the working
class and to our brothers before men,
toned, i'll that they have rendered
decisions denying them the protection
guaranteed by our national constitu-
ton and have sanctioned the lawless
and arbitrary acts of the officials of
the States of Colorado and Idaho,
thereby conceding them more power
over the lives and liberty OF citizens
than that exercised by the monarchs
of Europe over their subjects.
Third-That the power and in
fluence of our presidents is directed
against us, as shown by his actions
and words, he having publicly de-
clared Our brothers guilty without
trial, and by his actions sanctioning
the unlawful proceedings to which
they have been subjected
Therefore, Seeing that the rights
of the working class has been set at
naught, and that the executive, jul
dicial and military powers of this
government have been and are used
against the cause of labor--be it
Resolved, That we condemn and
hold in contempt the actions of our
high officials and counts in this mat
ter, and do hereby pledge ourselves,
individually and collectively, to coun-
teract the false impressions made by
the subsidized press, to the end that
men may know the truth. And we do
further pledge ourselves to do all
that is in our power to prevent the
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-02-09

contamination Of the murder Gus con
spiracy against Our brothers now
awaiting trial in Idaho, from whence
it is said, by the self-styled cham
p.ions of Law and Order" They
shall never return alive"
Carried with unanimity.)
That sounds almost as we'll as it
would had it been written by that
man who achieved fame by eating cu-
cumbers-Eugene Debs. 1t is so easy
to say "Capitalistic Press" and so
easy to say Labor Press
Really, we do not know how to de-
fine the matter as set forth by this
union, which apparently has officers
who shrink from signing their names
and seal SO old the town in which
it does business cannot be decipher-
ed, but we should infer that in their
eyes the capitalstic press is the press
that wants the accused given fair
trial and the labor press that which
wants the men turned loose on the
ipse dixit of some one back in Iowa
that the men in Jail in Caldwell are
innocent, and ought to be sent forth
in the world free and untrammeled
without further action.
Now, if the members of that union
will read the latest decisions of the
courts-or all of them-they will note
that labor has been upheld in every
thing that is right In the Allis- Chal-
mers case the right to picket was es-
tablished as a right; in case in Ten
nessee, in the federal court, the right
to boycott was conceded and prac-
tically established; and in another
case recently passed upon, which we
do not recall at this minute, the union
was upheld in its filming its members
for not striking when ordered AS
matter of fact, recent decisions have
all been in favor of labor The courts
generally are fair. True, once in
bought juryman, but we have read of
brethren, decamped with their funds
and raised the devil generally.
1t comes with rather bad grace,
too, from union of the United Mine
Workers to criticise the president of
the United States, the man who set
tied the anthracite coal strike, and to
declare that his power and authority
are directed against them and their
brothers. And it looks mighty bad
to see body of men, protesting the
highest aims and the noblest pur-
poses, declare that it holds in con-
tempt the courts of the land.
These three men are charged with
murder That is, the brother" they
pirate about In order to spar for
time, counsel for the accused tried
the federal courts on writ OF habeas
corpus, contending the constitutional
rights of the defendants had been
violated. The highest court in the
land said they had not. Now these
men are to be tried.

were great because they were formed
of many races, and the same com
plexity of tyre was PREVALENT in
Northwest Europe, and especially in
England"
What about the Jews? DR.. Nc
Gee was asked.
They form the most important
ethic group OF our time. Their law
was opposed to marriage outside
their race, but permitted il among
different groups of Hebrew blood.
These groups are so differentiated
that intermarriage between them has
almost as strengthening an effect as
marriage with outsiders altogether"
DR.. MCGEE expresses a firm belief
i'll the coming of an American, taller,
stronger, more humanitarian, and
more intellectual than the American
of to-day. According to him, the
tendency of the world is to grow bet
ter The law of heredity, as now
commonly accepted, indicates that an
abnormality in one ancestor will only
crop out i'll the case of one descend
ant i'll roughly alternating genera
tons. Thus, if man has homicidal
mania, none of his children NAV de-
velop the same desire, altho perhaps
one of his line i'll the third, fifth, or
eighth generation will show it. He
goes on to say:
i think 1t is wrong to accuse the
American of being engrossed in
money getting. He is filled with the
desire of achievement, but he does
not work with feversh activity for
the sake of the dollars. Take the
case of John D. Rockefeller. To nv
mind, he is the incarnation of con-
centrated effort He strove to ac-
complish along relatively narrow
line, and it was mere incident that
that line brought him great wealth.
If he had taken up anthropology
with the same singlc-mindednes he
would have been a great scientist.
Il do not think that the struggle
for existence is getting relatively
harder We are much better fitted
to struggle hard than were our fore
bears, and am inclined to think that
the struggle is not relatively so hard
as It was few generations ago. We
walk three and three-quarters of a
mile an hour, when our fathers walk
ed three and a half. But it is in us
to walk that fast, and there is no
harm done. When Herbert Spencer
was here he declared we were rush
ing ourselves into our graves. That
was a good many years ago, but we
are still surviving"
he reporter adds:
With regard to race suicide, DR..
MCGEE was also an optimist He
would not go into the economic side
of the matter and the alleged DELHI
crate limitation of families by the
well-to-do, but he pointed out the
statistical side of the question. 1t
long has been observed that the num-
Der of children varies inversely with
the length of life of a species. An
eagle lives a century and has few
offspring; shad dies in few weeks
and has millions. Human life has
increased from an average of about
twenty-four to twenty-five a century
ago, to twenty-nine years now; there

Ran Wild in the Wheat.

A wandering band of gypsies arriv-
ed near Sunbury Tuesday evening and
pitched their camp in an abandoned
gravel pit beside the tracks of the
Sunbury division between South Dan.
vile and Sunbury.
They at once began to ply their trade
Of fortune telling and begging from
door to door, and continued on their
Illegal way unmolested until they
turned their horses into wheat field
on Mr.. S. P. Wolverton' S farm. There
were seven horses in all, and their
lean sides showed plainly that fasting
rather than feasting was their ordin-
sry lot. They soon made heavy inroads
on the wheat. The farmer, Mr.. J. F.
Reichenbach protested, but the fierce
aspect of the Italian vagrants in
trenched in the gravel pit warned him
to beat a hasty retreat.
Yesterday morning the police raided
the van and arrested Pedro, Frank and
Costat Demetrio. with their wives,
Pariskivo, Anna and Lizzie, respec-
lively. They were given a hearing be-
fore Squire Shipman at Sunbury. The
case was dismissed when they paid the
costs and promised to leave town i'm
mediately.
