Mary Johnson and William Schurr,
from Kenosha, came 10 Racine Mon

nearly every one of the. unions In the
city has agreed to have floats in the
procession. Added to- this the manu-
featuring concerns of the scity and
many of the mercantile establish
ments have promised the committee to
aid in making the demonstration a
success.
The merchants of the city have
offered hundreds of prizes for the
various events to takes place at the
park during the afternoon, and it is
certain that the celebration Twill be
record breaker. It is planned to
have leading union men present from
other cities and there will be an ad-
dress at the park by one of the leading
opponents of the principles of union
labor.
The strike of the telegraph opera
tors and the call that has been issued
for the aid of the strikers has en-
Unused the members of the other
unions and it is expected that large
sums will be raised on Labor Day for
the benefit of the strikers. The day
is to be celebrated throughout Wis

son issued his proclamation declaring
the day holiday. He said in part:
I'm obedience to the law, /, James
O. Davidson, governor of the state of
Wisconsin, hereby designate Monday,
Sept. 2, 1907, as Labor Day, and
recommend that all establishments in
the state employing labor to close,
and that employer and workman come
together in friendly association and
discuss in fraternal spirit the inter.
ests of capital and labor. In this
favored land of ours there should be
no occasion for any but the most
friendly relations between the work
ingmsn and his employer. We are all
Americans, equal in political rights
and the rule to live and 1et.1ive should
be ever present in the minds of those
who work and those who employ. Let
Labor Day mark coming together
for better future and a wider oppor-
tunity for all those whose brain and
Drawn make for the state a national
prosperity"
In accordance with this proclama-
ton it is believed that every manu-
featuring institutionlwill close for the
day and also the majority ofsthe COM
mercia1 houses.

LINCOLN AND THE DEMON RUM.

1t might naturally be supposed that
the last Lincoln story had been told,
yet a new and delightful one is always
cropping up, and apparently the pub
lie never tires of reading them.
"Lincolns Rum Sweat" in the Jan
uary MCCLURE'S, has some new and
amusing first hand stories by George p,
Floyd, proprietor of the Springfield
hotel where Lincoln stopped in 1858
while stamping the State of Illinois.
The strain of speech. making was great
and one night Lincoln was carried
home to the hotel in state Of collapse.
Mrs. Floyd proposed rum sweat
after an old fashioned formula. well, u
said Mr.. Lincoln on hearing that the
rum was to be applied externally, 'if
you think it will do me any good just
crack your whip and go ahead. Any
port in storm; and, tell you, am
mighty near overheard" Mr.. Floyd
tells how his wife went ahead and the
perspiring patient was finally put to bed
1.-The next morning, to our surprise, Mr..
Lincoln made his appearance bright

Lincoln stories in this sketch, which
closes with paragraph on Lincoln's
attitude toward the south

WHY NOT TEST THEM?

The president admits the necessity
for tariff reform, although he does so
in language less forcible and direct
than he usually employs. He says that
no tariff legislation should be attempted
until after the next election, but there
are many republicans who differ from
him on this proposition and the dem.
ocrats ought TO give these tariff reform
republicans chance to express them.

can be tested by caucus measure
putting upon the free list imports that
come into direct competition with trust
controlled products. For instance. the
democrats might prepare a measure
providing FOR the free importation Of
articles which come into direct COM
petition with articles fifty per cent of
the total consumption Of which is con-
trolled by one corporation or combiua-
ton of corporations. Such a measure
would enforce itself and every importer
would be watching for combinations In
restraint of trade. If it is impossible
to get enough republicans to favor
measure putting the limit of control at
fifty per cent, they should be tested up
on measure fixing the maximum con-
troll at sixty, seventy and seventy five
per cent If they are not willing to
use the free list to prevent any moDop
oily however complete, they will be on
the defensive in the next campaign.
Similar measures can be brought for

reducing the tariff upon the necessaries
of life or fixing maximum tariff. Con-

Mrs Donald, Madge's aunt and chap
erone, begged her not to go in that
day. But Madge laughed at her
fears,
There were fewer bathers from the
hotel than usual that morning, and of
those who ventured in, most, for
some reason, kept quite near the
shore
But Madge either from spirit OF
bravado or from utter lack of any
sense of danger, swan out and out,
until she was far beyond the break

Challoner sat on the bluff and
watched her as usual but with an un-

alarm. Suddenly he sprang up, some
thing was wrong-she was being car
ried out by the force of the under
tow-and now she had become con
scious of her danger; he saw her fling
up her arms.
Down from the bluff he raced, fling
ing off his coat and vest as he ran.
Kicking off his shoes, he shouted to
those on the shore, who had begun
to have some dim consciousness of her
peril; quick, bring out the line!"
and boldly breasted the breakers and
swan out to save his love.
1t was a mighty effort, but he sue
ceeded in reaching her at last, though
not until Madge's presence of mind
had quite deserted her. Once she had
gone down, and now as he caught her
she clutched at him frantically, mad
ly, and her arms twined themselves
like serpents about his throat. He

Slowly, laboriously, with his dear
unconscious burden, Challoner made
his way In toward the shore. The
way seemed endless now, but help was
coming; he heard the encouraging
shouts of those who held the rope
and were swimming out to meet them.
Nearer and nearer they came; his
strength was failing fast, but by sheer
force of will he kept 1t until the res

Madge Winthrop was openly pleased

quito natural to her that they should
be much together since an elder gen.

THE great loss Of life experienced
within few weeks, from explosions in
coal mines constitutes such a menace to
those engaged in this industry as should
call for the most searching investigation
with view to minimize, if not prevent
altogether, such deplorable mortality.
Statistics show that within less than
twenty years the mortality from such
cause in the United States has averaged
at least thousand deaths year, with
steadily increasing ratio This may
imply either greater lack of precaution
to guard against accident or the increas
ed number Of miners crowded within a
given compass and exposed to com
mon danger.
The immediate cause of the recent
accidents, involving within less than
three weeks a loss of nearly 200 lives,
has been explosion by the ignition of
what is known as fire damp from the
process, now become common, of blast
ing in the coal veins to break up the
strata of coal in order to get out the
fragments more speedily than by the
old process of mining with picks only.
Long before the process was adopted the
miners were subjected to danger from
the ignition Of gas, called fire damp, es
Gaping as pockets of it would be opened,
by coming in contact with the flame Of
the miners lamp borne on his cap. This
danger was in great measure averted by
Sir Humphrey Davy's invention several
generations ago, Of a safety lamp inclos
ed with very fine wire meshes, which,
while admitting the lighter oxygen to
the support Of the fame excluded the
denser fire damp. It's invention and use
greatly minimized such accidents and
has been long regarded AZ one Of the
best contributions Of science for the
preservation of human life exposed to
such danger. 1t is not probable that
the same principle can be applied AZ a
prevention in the newer method Of min.
ing, but humanity would seem to plead
strongly for some effective precaution
against the continuance Of the methods
of mining now in vogue with such NOR.
tality,
AT all events, it is problem the solu.
tion of which calls FOX the best efforts of
science directed BY laws sufficiently
strict to prevent mine owners from ex.
posing the lives of miners in their EN-.
ploy to such reckless destruction. Some
remedy to prevent the recurrence of ia.
ta!ites should be required, or mining by
dynamic or other form of blasting
leading to the ignition of fire damp
should be prohibited. To subject the
lives OF miIers to continuance of this
dangerous and brutal disregard Of hu.
man life would be az criminal rs to tol.
crate the use Of electric wires for the
transmission Of light or power without
insulation. II is n subject for solution
by science directed by law, and should
not be left to the discretion Of those who
are influenced more by criminal greed
than regard for human life"
