Pledged to Fight Labor.

The Manufacturers association
the Pa ry .outft-at their late meeting
decided, to raise a fund Of 81, 1000
to fight the labor unions. A resolu-
ton was also adopted in opposition to
all illegal CO nbinations either Of cap
ital or labor. AS many of these manu-
facturers are also members of trusts
and all are tariff be~neficiaries, their
resolving to oppose illegal confbina-
tons of capital can hardly be serious,
except for the purpose of appearing
fair in their determination to fight
the labor unions. For years these
same manufacturers have been advis-
ing the workingmen to organize
against tariff reform or their wages
would be reduced and they pro.
pose to fight the unions for organizing
to increase their wages and reduce
their hours Of labor. The working
man that does not join a labor union
after this threat and resolve to vote
with the Democrats will deserve to
have the employers ride rcughshod
over him. !.

The Trusts Laugh.

The beef trust is still doing bust.
ness at the old stand in Chicago, with
r~amifications in every state, although
the administration prosecuted the
trust and claimed to have exterminat-
ed it. But the trust still plumbers the
farmers by controlling the market for
cattle. hogs and sheep at the principal
stockyards of the country and Pill
lagos the public by setting the price
at which all the packers products are
sold. What troubles the meat con-
sumers is that beef, pork and mutton
are still being sold at high prices, so
that evidently filming a trust and Sc
curing injunctions against it, to pre-
vent the members from combining In
restraint of trade are useless as far
as the people are concerned. Inc
Roosevelt administration has taken
great credit to itself as the great
American trust buster, but conditions
show that until more rigorous efforts
are made the price of trust products
will continue to advance. Filming a
trust magnate who is making millions
a few thousand dollars, is a farce and
until we see a monopolist in jail, as
the criminal section of the antitrust
law provides, there will be no RELIEF
from their exactiOns.

roo MUCH TO BELIEVE.
/ Brooks Reason for Doubling State
ment of His Friend.

Brooks" said Rivers, you are
getting a bay window"
II know It," conceded Brooks.
81 can tell you a simple physical
exercise that will cure you OF that
tendency. Lie fiat on your back, with
your hands c!asped under your head
Lift your feet slowly to the p~erpendic'
ular or as near the perpendicular as
YOU can come, and let them slowly
down again. Do this ten, Is or ~
times, according to your strength and
endurance, and repeat the exercise
not less than twice a day, morning
and evening"
"You think that will cure me OF my
bay window, do you?"
Il know it will"
"How do you know it,"
by experience. l have proved 1t
in my own case"
Rivers" said Brooks, after a long
pause, during which he had been
scanning the others antony, do you
mean to tell me you can raise those
feet in the air ten times in succession

of the most powerful explosives and
the results of these experiments have
become the standards of the best in
formed experts on this subject. 1t
was learned from these studies that
the average potential energy OF gun
powder is $50 foot-tons to the pound.
You will observe, therefore, that there
would be a good d0al of business
concentrated in a gigantic frecracker
containing 1S7, 500 pounds of gunpow-
der. In this immense cracker there
would be stored 80, 1000, 900 foot-tons OF
potential energy. Startling as are
these figures, to the layman they mean
little. Let us compare them to some
object with which we are familiar.
Take the Flatiron building in New
York, for instance. Its weight is So
900 tons. Now, if there are 4S0 foot
tons of potential energy in each pound
of gunpowder, it would require 104
pounds of gunpowder to blow up q
building weighing $4,000 tons. This
amount of gunpowder, is scientifically
applied, would do the job completely
and raze the big structure from base
ment to roof. Such an explosive effort
as this, however, represents but a
small part of the force in the suppose
tional king of giant firecrackers, which
would contain 10000, 900 foot-tons OF
energy-enough to blow up according
RI exact mathematical CalculatiOn)
1900 structures similar to the F1atiron
building before you could say Jack
Robinson"
So, perhaps, after all, it may be as
well to postpone the building OF this
great universal firecracker until on
experts have learned a little better
how to handle high explosives.

n a IS U
VIII the Republicans Revise Their
Former Crceds?

The fa:tional fight in the Republic
an ranks on the question of tariff re-
vision is becoming more and more
intensified. Secretary Taft has been
denounced as a free trader by MI.
Wakeman, the secretary OF the Pro-
tective Tariff League, who says no
therefore twill not bear the standard
of the Republican party next year"
Since the Wakeman declaration Score
tary Taft has come out openly for tar
if revision, thus defying the stand
pat faction of his party. We may pre-
sumo that Secretly Taft did not take
this step without consulting Presi-
dent Roosevelt and that they agree
that the time has arrived to hurl def
ance at Wakeman, his Protective
Tariff League and the standpatters
generally. 1t will be interesting to
see the line up that will follow and
discover who is for revision and who
is for letting well enough alone"
AS neither Secretary Taft, nor Presi.
dent Roosevelt, or indeed any Repub'
lican leader, has informed the people
of the scheme of tariff reform they
intend to support, it is impossible to
say how far they intend to go in re-
ducing the tariff rates that shelter
and protect the trusts. All Republic
an utterances on tariff revision, so
far, have limited any proposed reform
to do nothing that will imperil the
policy of protection" and the last foul
Republican national conventions nave
reafirmed "our allegiance to the pol
icy of protection" In 1904 the plat
form said:
Protection which guards and de-
velops our industries is a cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the main
tenance of the principle of protection,
and, therefore, rates. Of duty should
be readjusted only when conditions
have so changed hat the public in
terest demands their alteration.
That plank also declared for com
nercial reciprocity" but the Repub'
lican majority in congress refused to
ratify the reciprocity treaties, or ever
to reduce the tariff on Philippine
products, which should have free en-
try as those from our other posses
sions do.
Have the majority Of the Repub'
lican leaders changed their minds on
the policy of protection or is the re-
cent declaration for tariff revision by
some of them merely to again quiet
the protests of those Republicans who
believe with the Democrats, that pro
tecting the trusts and combines is
nothing but legal plundering OF the
people?
The chief object in reforming the
tariff is to reduce the present hlgh
cost of living, and to accomplish that
the protection the trusts enjoy mus
be reduced to the minimum that will
| produce enough e for h gov
| eminent. Until the Republican party
declares for such reform all theil
tariff revision talk is but sounding
| brass and tinkling cymbalS.

Nebraska Parrots Disappeared.

Only a few naturalists and early ter
ritorial settlers know that parrots
were once numerous in Nebraska.
Fifty years ago they were still seen
along the Missouri river In southeast
ern Nebraska, but disappeared very
suddenly after the first settlement IN
that region. The Nebraska parrot
was the Carolina paroque (Cornus
Carolina). 1t had a beautiful green
and yellow plumage, SO striking in ap.
pearance as to instantly arrest the at
tention of the early hunter.
Beside this, the birds gathered In
large focks and were SO exceedingly
tame and simple that the whole focl
was easily killed. Add to this that
the birds were fine eating and theil
feathers attractive trophies OF the
hunt, and the fate Of tho Nebraska
psr-ct was assured.

fishing at times. In shallow places it
spins between stones a twO-winged,
