Professor Swallowed 1t All.

The scholarly William e. Byerly, pro-
fessor of mathematics at Harvard, was
once asked by student how to de-
velop a retentive memory. The pro-
lessor answered that ordinary mental
exercise was sufficient to secure a
good memory, whereat the student
asked If he might test the mental ca
pacity Of his instructor. Professor By
erly agreed, and the student asked
him to listen to and remember sew
eral varied items for a test. He be-

A tremendous arroaU shooting through a
truss Of fire.
1913 minutes out of McCloud, and, look
ing happy, cussed Mr.. McWilliams
little and gave her another hatful of
steam.
It Is getting down hill, like the hills
Of the Mattaback valley, at such a
pace that pounds the track out of
shape. The Five-Nine lurched at the
curves like mad woman, shook free
with very fury, and If the baggage car
had not been fairly loaded down with
the grief of McWilliams 1t must have
jumped the rails a dozen times in as
many minutes.
Indeed the freman-it was Jerry
MacElroy-twisting and shifting be-
tween the tender and the furnace, look
ed for the first time grave and stole a
questioning glance from the steam
gauge toward Georgia
But yet he didn't expect to see the
boy, his face set ahead and down the
track, straighten so suddenly up, sink
In the lever and close at the instant on
the air. Jerry felt her stumble under
his feet-caught up like a girl in a
skipping rope-and, grabbing a brace,
looked, like a wise stoker, for his an
swer out of his window. There far
ahead it rose in hot curling clouds of
smoke down among the alfalfa mead
ows and over the sweep of willows
along the Mattaback river. The Malta
back bridge was on fire, with the Nc
Williams Special on one side and Den
Yer on the other.
Jerry MacElroy yelled. The engineer
didn't even look around, only Whistled
an alarm back to Pat Francis, eased
her down the grade bit, like man
rejecting, and watched the smoke and
flames that rose to bar the McWilliams
Special out of Denver.
The Fiye-Nine skinned across the
meadows without break and pulled
up hundred feet from the burning
bridge. It was an old Howe truss and
snapped like popcorn as the flames bit
into the rotten shed.
Pat Francis and his brakeman ran
forward. Across the river they could
see half dozen section men chasing
wildly about throwing impotent buck
cts of water on the burning truss
Were up against it, George" cried
Francis.
mot IL we can get across before the
bridge tumbles into the river" return
ed Sinclair.

Where capital is concerned Parry is
very tender Capital is his FETCH He
thinks that the country's prosperity Is
due entirely to the benefcent use of
capital, which, employing labor on its
own terms, has brought Immense for
tunes to Its owners. Destroy the
present capital in this country and
four-ffths Of the people would certain
ly die Of starvation" he says. Destroy
the present labor in this country and
capital would be useless and idle is a
proposition equally sound.
The labor question Is not one to
which the contributions Of interested
pleaders like D. NJ. Parry can add any
thing. Organized labor has some
times used its new found power I'M
wisely; capital has often done so and
with far less excuse. All the right Is
not on one side nor all the wrong on
the other. The labor question is only
one OF the governmental and indus
trial problems to the solving Of which
the true American spirit is admirably
adapted. But Mr.. Parry is contribut-
ing nothing to that solution.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1907-12-12
THE LABOR QUESTION
How David M. Parry Would Solve
the Problem.
ADVOCATES SPECIAL LAWS
Would Deny the Same Protection to
the Worker That He Urges For Capi-
tal-Un- American and Narrow Views
of an Interested Pleader.

The Washington Herald recently
took the correct measure Of one David
NJ. Parry, erstwhile presldcn of the
Manufacturers association and gem
eral all around union Smasher:
When it comes to a discussion of the
labor question d. NJ Parry of Indian
apolls knows perfectly well that none
can be quite right but himself He is
an employer of labor. and he is not at
all slow in urging that capital must
be protected by special laws and that
1t Is necessary for capitalists to stand
shoulder to shoulder in behalf of their
rights. The same plea for special leg
islation or protection, the same sort
or organization on the part of labor, is
to Mr.. Parry only TO be considered be-
cause the labor men have numerous
votes OF which both political parties
are afraid.
Mr.. Parry seems to overlook the fact
that the ballot was designed largely
for the purpose of allowing the PEG
pie to express their will In legitimate
way. 1t is privilege which no one
would deny the labnring man. He
asks:
do Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Reveridce
address themselves to the labor cues
ton as l have stated it: No. They
would not dare do it. The union la
Dor man is voter-a very hard voter
to please and still harder to keep pleas
ed. But. horror of horrors, If he isn't
pleased there is the fatal role of the
political enemies of Ia Dor edited from
day to day by Mr.. Gompers''
There is truth in this, but it is a
truth Of which labor need not be
ashamed-not nearly SO ashamed as
the capitalistic employers of labor
should be at their enormous contribu-
tons TO campaign funds III order that
they may sES4Ae sAseGIl.4 1aYura IL Liza

Judge H. ]. Bean decided the
| Means-Swayze election controversy
in favor of b. F. Swayze yesterday
afternoon and since then there has
been joy in the ranks of the New
port-Skinner faction of the Hermis-
tonians.
After two days of trial and argu-
ment the case was brought to an
abrupt end in the afternoon yester-
day when the court admitted the bal
lots as evidence in the case and d.
rected the five Jurors TO return a ver-
dict favorable to the Swayze side
This the jury did without retiring
from the court room and the hard
fought case came to an end as far
as the circuit court is concerned.
In passing upon the point at issue
yesterday Judge Bean ruled that the
Hermiston election was a legal one
despite the alleged defects in the
ballots used. That opinion was at
variance with the views of all the at
torneys in the case, who during the
arguments, held that the election it.
self had not been legally held.
When the ballots were counted last
spring after the first municipal elec-
tion held in Hermiston, 1t was found
that the race between F. B. Swayze,
candidate of the Newport, or east side
faction, and ]. R. Means, of the Nc
Naught or west side faction, was
close. or the ballots cast, Means had
As and Swayze Al. However the
election board held one of Means
ballots to be illegal and 1t was ruled
out, thereby leaving the contest tie.
The next step in the case was taken
when the matter was brought before
the county court for decision. The
court sustained the election board,
and, using its prerogative, decided
the tie in favor of Swayze. The case
was then appealed to the circuit
court.
Following the decision in the case
yesterday the attorneys for the plain
tiff, Means. gave notice Of an appeal
to the supreme court.

Ocean and shifting Wind Made
Further Racing Too Hazardous for
Even This Daring Expert.

Asbury Park, n. j., Oct. 2S.-Set-
tling gently upon the sandy beach of
Asbury Park, the German balloon,
Pommern, landed this morning after
travelling distance of $50 miles and
up to date winner of the great inter-
national balloon race.
Only the fact that the ocean was
dead ahead and that the navigator
dared not trust shifting wind to
carry him into New England, pre-
vented the nervy and expert balloon
list, Oscar Erbslohe, from going on at
least six hours more.
