by Justice McKenna of the supreme
court Of the United States, which
should be read by every workingman
and indeed by every good citizen Of
the nation.
In the malign purpose of the western
mine owners and their corporate al
lies, the Standard Oil company, to
crush organized labor, and this is why
the case has special interest for and
appeals directly to the whole body Of
labor unionists throughout the land.
Labor Law Abiding.
1T is not that we object to the
lawful punishment Of crime; not at
all. The precise contrary is true. We
are opposed to the commission of
crime, especially in the name and un-
der the forms Of law.
'Kidnap1ng is kidnapping whether the
criminal happens to be Pat Grove of
Nebraska, Governor Gooding of Idaho
or Governor Mcdonald of Colorado.
Indeed, when the kidnaper is clothed
with high official authority he be-
comes not only Infamous, but monst-
rous and execrable.
we protest against the kidnapi
of our fellow workers in the name of
organized labor, in the name of law
and in the name of justice and human
ity.
1--WE are quite sure that if these
three citizens had been prominent cap
italists instead of mere workingmen
and had been thus seized by force
and violently deported from their
homes all the powers Of government
the army and navy included would
at once have been set in motion ia
effect their release.
There is in this very point food in
plenty for meditation.
1T appears quite plainly even to
the most minimizing that this govern
ment is dominated by the great capt.
alists in their own interest and with
out the slightest regard to the inter-
ests Of the working class or the well
fare of the people.
''The trial Of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone will be watched as no trial
has ever been before by the working
class in the history Of this country,
1t Is a safe prediction that no packed
jury will be allowed to send innocent
men to the gallows, as was done the
victims of the Haymarket two decades
ago.

PUTS BLAME
FOR RAILROAD WRECKS
Denies Charge by Managers
That Labor Unions Are
Responsible.
Over Worked Employees Usu-
ally Are Victims.-Of-
ficials Blamed.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April A.
When informed that the railroad man.
ayers in conference at Chicago held
labor unions responsible for the re-
cent wrecks throughout the country,
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, gave
out the following:
people have become justly shock
ed at the frequent railroad wrecks
in which hundreds Of men and wo-
men lost their lives and others were
crippled and MANNED. It Is not strange
that the public has placed the blame
where it rightfully belongs-that is,
or the management of the railroads.
nor is it strange that the railroad
managers should by some manner Of
means epdeavor to throw the odium
from their own shoulders to those Of
others, and what more reasonable
than that the managers should en-
deavor to throw the ,odium in some
form or other upon the unions Of
labor? At least those prejudiced
against organized labor will be will
ing to believe the aspersion no mat
ter how far-fetched and puerile the
charge.
Responsibility For Wrecks.
I'm the Associated Press report Of
the conference Of railroad presidents
held at Chicago recently. it was given
out that the awful wrecks are due to
a lack of discipline among the en-
ployes, and the question, Are the la
Dor unions responsible for the ma
jorlty Of the wrecks?' seems to have
been answered in the affirmative by
these railroad presidents.
Railroad Officials Guilt.
1T will be observed that even the
railroad presidents dared not assume
the responsibility Of charging that
the labor unions are responsible for
the wrecks, or for any Of them, but
they say that the question Seems to
have been answered in the affirmative
by them.
How utterly without basis Is even
such a vague Implication any one
familiar with conditions may know.
defective rails and road-beds,
equipments and appliances are ut
terly ignored by the railroad pres-
idents In accounting for accidents.
They feel no qualms OF conscience In
often compelling engineers, firemen,
brakemen, traokmen, telegraphers, and
other employees to work abnormally
long hours without intervening rest.
Deprivation Of Rest.
Tn New Jersey some time ago a
railroad engineer was held criminally
responsible because his train collided
with another; yet, upon the trial It
was proven that he had worked "a
hours consecutively. before he took out
I the train and was Utterly exhaustsed;
that ne pleaded with the mana cement

of wrapping papers, building papers,
paper bags, printers stock, station
cry, cotton and burlap bags, and bur-
lap by the bale.
The paper line was added to the
business in February, 1900. They
have in the Superior house an up-to-
date, rotary wrapping paper press,
the only one at the head of the lakes,
which enables them to handle with
dispatch all orders for printed and
striped wrapping papers and paper

and the wreck occurred.
1.-THE management Of the company
was held blameless, but he was con-
victed, the Judge holding that it was
his duty to refuse to take out the
train. The fact that such a refusal
meant not only his discharge from
that company's service, but that his
refusal would be regarded as an act
OF characterization which would de-
prive him from ever afterwards earn
ing his livelihood in the services Of
that or any other company was wholly
disregarded.
Too Long Hours.
LAS a matter of fact, the railroad
interests tenaciously fought a bill
which finally passed the last hours Of
the 59th Congress prohibiting the en-
ployes on railroads from being requir-
ed or permitted to work more than
16 hours in any one day without g.
rest Of eight hours intervening. It
Was only after a most spirited contest
in, Congress that the law was finally
enacted to go into effect in 1908.
1T is also we'll known that by rea-
son Of the increase in railroad traffic
within the past few years. many in
experienced men are entrusted with
responsible positions. This is not due
to any action Of the railroad mems
unions, but entirely to the company's
dereliction of duty"

SCORES THE SALACIOUS PRESS.
Cardinal Gibbons Urges That Sensa.
tfOnal Newspapers be Stunned.


Baltimore, Mar. 7.-Preaching his
usual monthly sermon at the cathed-
raj this morning, Cardinal Gibbons
denounced "salacious journals" and
newspapers printing objectional adj
vertisements. Taking as his subject
Spiritual Reading" especially in
connection with the lenten season,
after pointing out the helpfulness of
reading religious books, and particu-
larly the Bible, he said:
"Rigidly exclude from your house.
hold all books and pamphlets which
are hostile to religion and good NOR
ais. Never admit into your homes
any newspaper or periodical which
ventilates obscene news and licen-
tious scandals.
Now, there are good and bad Jour-
nails. as there are clean and unclean
animals. No kind of literature works
more mischief in a community than
salacious journals. They contain not
only news matter, but also ADVERTISE
ments of most objectional character.
They have sensational items which
are a snare and stumbling-block to
the innocent and unwary. Many of
the youth Of both sexes have learned
from this impure fountain their first
lessons in the dark mysteries of hui
man depravity."

Madrid, Mar. liking Alfonso has
been giving some strong indications
Of his originality and independence

courtiers by his indifference to tradi-

The rigid Catholics Of the court

for the use Of his mother-in-law,
Princess Henry of Battenburg, when
she visits Spain.
The king paid no attention to their
protests beyond saying contemptuous-
ly: well. gentlemen. IL you don't

decisive character. He granted leave

Waited on?

All, sir, the spring styles-you are
just in time. No, it is no trouble. In
fact, it is pleasure to discuss styles
with one who understands the sartor-
ial art-if one may call it art, and I
think one may.
For the adornment of the person
what can be more important than that,
sir? I have always said that one who
disregards the cut of his vest can have
no appreciation of the beautiful.
But excuse my depression. Dress is
a hobby of mine. The styles!
All, sir, have a surprise for you.
Yes, we have returned to browns. The
grays and sten-grays will still be
worn, but browns-they are so rich
and warm, and we are to have them
In such swagger checks and stripes.
Loud? Oh, dear, yes-rather!
And the shoulders? No more built
up shoulders, which a season ago we
considered the acme of elegance, but
which now seem launched up and ex-
aggerated. No more pads! oh, yes.
needn't mind, sir, a well set-up gentle
man like you-but some swell Dress
ers l know will look old. Ha, ha!
Very, very droll.
Also, that vulgar flare at the bot
tome of the sack coat has gone out
never to return, hope. The vent has
suffered the same fate. But there are
number of chic touches to the COM
ing tyles which make up for the loss
of these.

USED TAB[EASALT
Chicago Man Has Antique
Which Figured in Gen. Lees
Gettysburg Retreat.

An old black walnut table, connect
ed with the history of Gen. Lees re-
treat from Gettysburg, and which is
more than century and a quarter
In age, Is in the possession of DR..
s. T. Felmlee.
The table was built by Samuel T.
Brumbaugh, the grandfather of DIR.
Felmlee. on his farm on the Hagers-
town pike, four miles north of Hag-
erstown. and is constructed entirely
of wood. not nail, or a piece of
wire, or any portion of metal being
used in its construction. 1t is mas
sively built, but not clumsily, and is
fastened together with wooden keys.
The walnut of which the table is
made grew on the farm where all
the furniture of the house was made.
OF Colonial Origin.
1t was in the days of Washington's
rise, the revolutinary time when the
British were driven from the colonies,
that the table was built, and it has
remained in the family ever since.
1t was still standing in the dining
room of the old farmhouse when Gen.
Lee made his retreat toward the south
after Gen. Meade's great victory at
Gettysburg. Samuel Brumbaugh was
a confederate sympathizer and enter
tanned Lee in his home.
When the family rose from the ia
BILE the evening that the general was
to leave with his army, an infant
good-naturedly gurgling, and crawl
ing on hands and knees on the floor
attracted Lees attention.
"Oh," he exclaimed, as he saw the
child. What is the baby's name?"
"It has none!" said Brumbaugh,
and as the general looked up with
a start of surprise, The continued:
mo, the little fellow is nameless. 1t
is a waif whose father has probably
been killed in the war and whose
family has been scattered with the
four winds. picked the child up
on the streets of Hagerstown a few
days ago, and brought him home with
me, thinking that would take care
OF him here on the farm"
"Well," said the general, "the little
fellow must have a name. Suppose
we christen him."
Given Historic Name.
Mr. Brumbaugh assented, and hold
Ing the child over the walnut table
as over baptismal altar, which DR..
Felmlee now has, the general named
him Jefferson Davis. The cLild re-
tanned that name and lived by it I'M
til the time of his death a few years
ago. He never found any trace of
his parents.
Has Other Antiques.
In addition to the table Dr. Felmlee
has numerous other antiques of in
terest. He has bed sheet made on
the same farm on which the incident
of the christening occurred, by Samuel
Brumbaugh's mother. The flax was
grown and broken on the same farm
and the sheet built, from the soil to
the finished article, right in the same
place. 1t was made by. her prelimin-
airy to her wedding in 1900, and, con-
seqHently, is now more than a CEN
fury Of age. There is also piece
OF linen tapestry of still earlier origin
made on the same farm in the same
way. Mrs. Felmlee a short time ago
had the tapestry framed and hung
on the wall, with short sketch of its
history,
