The President has classed Meyer ard
Haywood, who are to be tried for the
murder of ex Gov. Steunenberg #
Idaho, with Mr.. E. H. Hartman. the
railroad magnate, as undesirable cit
iZens.'' Both sides resent this impu.
tation, and both are mad. The public
is therefore left to decide which is
worse. to be the captain of lynching
bee. or a captain of industry.

LABOR UNIONS AFTER ROOSEVELT.

Eugene V. Debbs, who the Presi-
dent saw fit to class along with two
gentlemen named Meyer and Haywood
who are being tried for murder in
Idaho, has seen cause to retort, and
he uses some very plain language
about Mr.. Roosevelt. He says In part:
"In the first place l charge President
Roosevelt with being hypocrite, the
most eonsummate that ever occupied
the executive seat of the nation. His
professions of pure politics are false,
his boosted moral courage the bluff of
a bully, and his square deal delusion
and snare"
1.-The true character of this man is
being gradually revealed to the Amer
lean people, be has never been any
thing but an enemy to the working
class. He joined a Labor organization
purely as a demagog. In all bis life
he has never associated with working
people. His writings before be became
politician show tnat he held them in
contempt, When be entered politica
life be soon learned how to shake hands
with a fireman for the camera, and
have his press agent do the rest, and il
was this species of demagogery, the
very basest conceivable, that idealizeo
him with the ignorant mass, and gave
him the votes OF millions, he in hi
heart dispissd as an inferior race"

There is general opinion that the
railroads are breaking down under the
mass of business offered It is true
that they still seem able to carry a
large number of high officials On big
salaries, and vast amount of unneces-
sary water in their stock but they have
Gghtened their loads by dumping into
the ditch many National and State
officials such as Congressman, Judges
and other functionaries, and those
trains that used to carry the press
now run empty over nearly the whole
line.

When anybody talks to the farmer
about high tariff and standing pat and
more of the same kind of rot, it will be
well for him to remind the speaker
that corn, wheat. hogs and cattle, are
the only commodities which are lower

tariff schedule, or under free trade.
These have not advanced even under
the great cry of prosperity.

Mr.. W. A. Cardwell, late Speaker of
the Virginia House of Delegates, has
decided not to run for the Legislature
again. The cause of his declination is
not made public, but it was said he
intended entering the Congressional

his course a wise one, since public

Our National Game.

It is now the time when the
American yOungster of every city
and hamlet begins to stir himself
and get ready for his favorite game
baseball.
The old-wheei horse, 'Rowdy"
Rhodes has caught the fever lust as
he did ten years ago, and is talking
OF getting good team here at Ian
caster this season if he can get the
substantial, necessary encourage
ment.
We know of no other game that
is so we'll adapted to train and de-
velop all the senses at one and the
same time. It exercises all the
muscles of the body and at the same
time trains the eye, the ear and the
mind.
1t does not develop one set of
muscles to the expense of the
others, as rowing, running, bicycl-
ing, dumb bells and clubs do. Tt is
not a matter of preponderating
brute strength like bootball. 1t
calls for a union Of physical health
and mental alertness;it has intricate
and varied situations requiring al
most as much foresight and syn
thetic ability as chess. 1t absolutely
demands judgment that works in
simultaneously and correctly. And
given anything to start with there
is nothing like it for fostering cour-
age.
A boy that has played second
base three or four years does not
wait to have the situation explain
ed and charted for him. He knows
he cannot stop to argue with him
self whether he shall slam the
grOunder he is stopping to first or
home. His mind must work like a
lightning flash and unerringly. The
center fielder, reaching for high
fly, has no time to weigh relative
clauses and compare advantages,
He must grasp the situation from
one swift glance at the ield and
act upon it. Self-reliance, 1ndepend-
ent brain action and the power to
formulate policies are exercised by
this magnificent game as much as
are the muscles of the body.
Besides, it is the American Ma
tional game. It has helped nightly
to form the national character. 1t
is good democratic game; it is an-
like the sport of any other nation.
Every American boy ought to play
it and every American city ought
to provide ample space and room
for it.

N Pure Food Law. Puzzles People.

Lancaster grocers are considerab-
" amused, they say, Oh many oc-
casions and in various ways, as a
direct result of the workings Of the
pure food law. Speaking Of the
law, a local retail grocer said: mo,
we are not experiencing any trouble
with canned fruits and vegetables,
for the stock the grocers now have
on hand was packed last fall after
the law was enacted, and complies
in every way with the requirements
of the federal and the Wisconsin
state laws. Some retail grocers may
still have little stock on hand,
purchased before the law took Ell
feet and which they are at liberty
to sell until July, 1907, but the ma
jority of grocers are entirely clean
ed up on almost all things which
didn't conform.
Here's something..that was just re-
turned to me this morning" said
the grocer, reaching into a basket
and bringing out a bottle of a GER
tain brand of 'oyster cocktail cat
sup" 1.-THE lady that ordered this
returned it at once with the de-
livery boy, saying she could not
use any "stuff'' like that, that II
must be spoiled, that it surely could
not be good, etc. Well, l just 'phon-
ed TO her and explained matters,
with the result that she wants Il
sent back, and says she is glad to
get it pure. You see this same
brand of catsup las always been q

food product is just the natural
color, the same as home made cat
sup that housewife makes.

Council Proceedings.

The final meeting of the present
common council to wind up affairs
of the year, allow outstanding
claims, etc, was held at the usual
place Monday evening.
Mayor Miller presided.
Aldermen present were Jordan,
HenkeI, Battle, Moore, Barnett,
and Whitmore; absent Knapp and
BROKER. Minutes of last meeting
read and approved.
Treas. Miller rendered his report
for the month past which was &C.
cepted.
Geo. B. Wheeler, election in
spector, presented bill for $50 for
services at late election while 50. so
was amount usually allowed. 1t
was voted to give him $3.50.
Alderman Bailie thought it en-
tirely wrong that our elections cost
so much; the two townships of what
is now North and South Lancaster
and the present four wards used to
vote all at one place and thereby
saved a great expense.
Mrs. j. p. Lewis wished her
picket fence placed in as good re-
pair as it formerly was prior to
time the hitching rail was erected
near the county jail. The city
fathers did not see the object of so
doing however, and her request is
ignored.
The business committee of the
council was given authority to re-
new contract with T. F. Orion for
coal for waterworks station at same
rate, 50 per ton at mines, as paid
last year.
Aid. Barnett introduced an
ordinance taking away the ap-
pointive power of the mayor and
making all the offices elective by
the council. Mayor Miller made
strong dissent to the idea and said
be would veto it if passed. Aid.
Barnett demanded vote and it
went 3 to 8. Ayes: Ban Lett, Moore
and Henkel; Noes: Bailie, Jordan
and Whitmore. The mayor killed
it forthwith, and little repartee
followed all around the table of a
warm nature, and forebodings APP
pear bad for some of the present
plum holders.
Bills were allowed as follows:
Nat. Pipe Bending Co. $2O.1 -; Z. +.

Congressman Murphy Makes Appoint
ment.

One of the first official acts Of
Congressman elect Murphy Of
Platteville was to appoint to An
napolis Naval academy the son of
his old time friend and most ardent
support, Pat BARLEY of Bloomington.
The young mans name is Mort
and is chip of the old block. He
has been engaged in teaching and
is 10 years of age. The mental
examination he has already passed
successfully, and if the rest of it
turns out all right down at An
napolis he will be a full fiedged
marine cadet We trust that he
will. for Mort is a deserving young
man, popular with all who know
him.
