UNION LABOR TO
OPPOSE TAFT
IF GOMPERS MAINTAINS HIS
SUPREMACY IT IS LIKELY THE
FEDERATION WILL GO ON REC
ORD AGAINST SECRETARY
TAFT'S CANDIDACY.

NORFOLk, va, Nov. 11.-W1th
President Samuel Gompers presiding,
the twenty-seventh annual conven-
ton Of the American Federation of
Labor was called to order at 10
O'Clock this morning in the James
town exposition auditorium. Hun
dreds of delegates are here, repre-
senting all the national and inter
national labor unions affiliated with
the Gompers' body, and nearly all
state declarations and central bodies
Many matters of great interest are to
come before the convention, and sew
eral sharp fights for supremacy in
the organization are expected before
the session has completed it's bust
ness, All regular sessions will be
held at the Armory hall, in the city
of Norfolk. Governor Swanson and
officials of the city government, the
exposition and the labor bodies of
Norfolk and Virginia participated in
the opening session.
1t is thought that, before the pres
ent convention has adjourned, the
American Federation of Labor will
go on record as being opposed to the
presidential aspirations of Secretary
Taft. President Gompers has char
acterized the secretary of war as ''the
injunction candidate for president"
and brands him as being conscious
-ly and wilfully hostile and unfair to
organized labor The opinions
handed down by Mr. Taft when he
was federal Judge have been used,
according to President Gompers, ito
constantly further encroach upon the
personal rights and liberties of our
citizens, when those citizens are
workingmen,"
1t is likely that President Samuel
Gompers will have the struggle of
his life to maintain his place at the
head of the workingmen' forces of

disgruntled ones in the labor ranks
have commenced a systematic agita-
tion against the reelection of Com
pers. They also demand a general
new set of officers. including the
members of the executive council
The friends of Gompers are confident
that they will re-elect him. With
! the exception of one term, Gompers
has been at the head of the fedora
tion for score of years.
Another important subject of dis
cussion will be the publication of the

Advice to the Fearful.

It's up to you to prevent the
spread of panic. You can do it
by holding your tongue. Don't be
scared and then you can't infect
others with your fright. The
banks are all right-it's a thous-
and to n against a burst. All
the banks are helping each bank.
The squeeze isn't the worst thing
that could happen, either. Itends
the gambling jag. 1t will bring
down commodity prices. 1t puts
a quietus on wildcat loans and
hot-air bond floating and promot-
ing. Business will once again be
business, and not a combination
of blutfing and thimblerigging.
There are more honest people
than there are thieves and it is to
the true interest of the strong men
in money to brace up rather than
to break others. The crops are
good; manufacturing is active;
the country's real resources are
not in the least impaired; there's
wealth uncountable in the making
right now. Would you assist In
restoring confidence? Sure. Then
act as if you were already broke
and didn't care a damn how many
banks closed.-The Mirror.

cruel hearts. I hold that the
Christian of to-day has no better
right to command my observance
of his sabbath" now than his
progenitor of two hundred years
ago possessed to burn a "heretic"
on the question of baptism or
prayer-book. How long-O Lord,
how long!-before we recognize
and acknowledge the truth that no
two men in their hearts worship the
same Deity!

AS A sample of how Republicans
reform" the public service when
they get the opportunity, l repro
duce from the Kansas City Post
the following very suggestive edi-
torial. Jackson county went over
to the enemy in 1904, one of the
cast-ups of the "great reform tidal
wave" which threw the Democratic
party of the State on the rocks of
defeat, and has since that time been
in chargeof the Saints, who, profess
sing great concern for the poor tax
payer, lose no opportunity o. mak-
ing him put up, time, tide and
circumstance permitting:
Judge Patterson of the county
court is authority for the state
ment that there are too many
men on the county payrolls in and
around the court house. Such a
bold statement from such a man is
weightiest testimony to sustain the
charge the Democrats have already
made, that the Republicans are
rioting in waste and unheard of
extravaganza since they took over
the county affairs to reform"
them. 1t is easily demonstrable
that the number of clerks, depu-
ties and paid hangers-on at the
two county court houses have
been. enormously increased, far in
excess of the natural and expected
increase of population and routine
business of the various offices to
which they are accredited, and that
even the Republican judges see
and realize that it is better to lop
off now than run the risk of giving
the Democrats a walkover next
fall.
Republicanism and extravaganza
with other peoples money are
synonymous, and no one, not even
a county Judge, should manifest
surprise at the advantage taken of
the opportunity. When a hun
cry and reckless gang of stand
patters are turned in upon such
green pastures small wonder
should be excited if they "eat the
very paint off the house." as Abe
Ruef said he told Schmitz. that his
gang of hoboes would do in San
Francisco if the mayor appointed
his kind to Office.
The large increase of clerks and
deputies and the monthly raid up
on the county treasury have turn
ed the stomach and conscience Of
the presiding justice of the county
court, himself a Republican, but
alive to the evils of wanton extrav-
agance and he intends to stop the
raids and clear out the dead wood.
Judge Moss is equally set against
official raids upon the county
treasury and the two of them, it is
hoped, will see that it is stopped
and the responsibility placed where
it belongs.

THERE is one thing l admire in
Judge Wallace, who is endeav-
oring to establish the old-time
Jewish Sabbath in Kansas City.
He characterizes all manner of
pleasure and work on Sunday as
Sabbath dissertation and there
fore uges the prosecution of all
men who do not believe as he does
on this religious dogma. Usually,
the Judge called OF to pass upon
such cases upholds the statute as
''a police Notwithstanding
instituted to guard mems physical
welfare rather than to force the re-
ligious belief of some people upon
all men. / say, I admire Judge
Wallace because he has the cour-
age of his convictions and meets
the devil of his imagining face to
face. He applies the lash direct,
not in scientific manipulation
''around the stump" But | would
like him to explain to me one
thing: How does he reconcile the
blue laws under which the Sab
bath violators are prosecuted and
punished with the constitutional
guarantee that this is a land of
religious liberty and freedom of
conscienceP If my conscience
teaches me that it is my duty to
work every day in the week, or if
| feel it is not wrong to play a
game of checkers, or chess, on the
day set apart for rest and recrea-
ton, what man or set Of men can
have the rightful power to deprive
me Of my God-given privilege?
The dungeon, the pillory, the
stake, have, in. times not SO long
past, been employed to mold all
men into one religious belief, but
have always failed. History's
bloodiest pages have been written

along about 1898 times were pretty
hard and money scarce, but never
so scarce as it has been the past
week. In 1898 it was because we

THE papers throughout the coun-
try in commenting on the present
conditions in the financial world
insist that Everything is all
right" Now the writer of these
lines does not pose as an expert in
finance, but it is patent to any one
that the statement that "every-
thing is all right" is absolutely
false. In fact, it looks very much
like Everything is all wrong" 1t
is time to be conservative. Don't
get excited. Just be patient and
await developments. This may be
difficult, under the circumstances,
but it's all you can do, anyway.
So, rest easy, and hope for the
best. All conservative bankingin-
situations will show up all right,
but wildcat "prosperity" has sure
struck a snag.

In the Senator Burton case at his
frsttrial, the Judge, when he pro-
nounced sentence, said, "The evil
dence in this case abundantly sup
ports the gerdict." The Supreme
Court, to which appeal was taken,
with all the evidence before it,
didn't see it that way. Here are
its conclusions on that point, as re-
cited by MI. Burton in his review
OF the case:
"Second. Assuming that the

aries frequently refer to the Dem
ocratic hard times under Cleve-
lands administration. The fact
that those hard times we're inau-
gurated under Harrison and COM

pressed" This was vigorously
denied by the local thick-and-
