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 avarice Of the
monopoiies."
While he approves the banding to-
gether of workingmen for their own
those elements of organized labor,
which stir up unnecessary discord. 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."

hearsay, Judge Reiter declared the

FOLK ON STATE RIGHTS TAFT IS INDORSED
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
knen Of democratic government
The elimination of unjust privileges
conferred by law" he said, is 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 Civ Few
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, a monopoly
tariff is indefensible under the condi-
tions 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-
co to the federal government. When
the states came together in convention
to form a more perfect union each
was as Independent and sovereign as
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
a power that would sooner or later de-
stroy democracy"

CARELESS UNDERTAKES.

Much Indignation has been
aroused in the Burgess Hill district
of Sussex, England, by an extraor-
binary succession of accidents dur
ing burials at st. Johns churchyard.
In the first case band slipped from
under a child's coffin, and this
pitched into. the grave. Then at the
interment of an adult the. unprotect.
ed side of the grave fell in while the
mourners were singing the hymn
crock of Ages" Finally, at a third
burial, the grave was found to be too
small to accommodate the coffin, and
it had to be enlarged in the pres
ence of the distressed relatives, one
of whom-a man-fainted.

SMALL DUTIES.

The duty of doing, not great
things, but what we can, is the very
top and sum of human obligation.
One cannot get beyond it; one ought
not to stop this side of it. 1t means
the doing of everything that you
can, and chiefly it means the doing
of things that issue out of the heart
toward God and man. 1t means the
setting aside of self, and laying out
ones best energies in unselfsh, not
to be requited, service. 1t means
not merely occupation, industry, at
tainmcnt; not merely busy hands,
but busy affections, sympathies, pur-
poses. 1t is the little daily acts OF
Christian love and service that win
the Masters swell DONE" in the
Eternal Kingdom,

ANIMAL FREAKS.

The region round about certain
large town in Pennsylvania is noted
for the number of fowl and animal
freaks that it has. One farmer has
a six-legged pig, and another has a
four-legged pig, and another has
four-legged duck. A male guinea
fowl there recently Matched out
brood of nine guineas, and an old
hen adopted litter of four kittens.
It seems that the hen manifested q
strong disposition to sit, and her
owner, to prevent it, nailed board
across her nest. But she was deter
mined to sit anyhow, so she whipped
the mother-cat from the kittens and
established herself as their protec-
tor. A spaniel dog in the neigh
borhood has also adopted a litter of
kittens, which he cares for as if they
were puppies, and he were the moth.
or of them. But the most startling
departure from the regular order OF
animal life in that remarkable re.
gion is goat, which has the habit
of chewing tobacco. 1t is sid that
he enjoys it like an old sailor.

A FLASH OF LIGHTNING.


One day in the classroom, while
the editor was in college, the profess
sor mentioned as "freak" of the
lightning's, the peculiar behavior of
a stroke of which he was witness.
1t struck the lightning-rod on a
church stecple, came down to with
in few feet of the ground, jumped
from the rod to tree, from the tree
to the iron fence, and from the
fence to the rod again, That was,
indeed, a peculiar stroke, but light
ming is better understood now than
II was then, a result due to the
camera, which shows that many
flashes have a number of branches
shooting off in various directions,
like the small roots of tree. The
case mentioned by the professor was
no doubt one of these, and the jump
ing was done by The branches.

FORTUNES IN suNkEN TIMBER.

For the thousandth time the story
is set going that vast fortunes are
about to be reaped by raising
sunken logs in the rivers of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin and along the
shores of Lake Superior. We are
told that sound pine logs do NOT de-
teriorate in water, no matter how
long immersed, and that timber sub
merged for half century has been
found in perfect condition. 1t
might pay somebody handsomely to
tackle the Dismal swamp and res
cue its long-buried juniper trees.
When boys were boys SO years ago
they were told by pedagogues that
all whetstones with a white side and
a slate-colored side were made Of
the heart and sap Of the hickory
tree immersed in water for seven
years and petrified. The result was
that every cistern was choked with
pieces of hickory, which the boys
actually believed would be fossilized
on schedule time.
