DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK
What Places Over Two Million
Children in the Factories
Of the Countrya

Mr.. Workingman, do you ever
stop to think of the tremendous
amount of energy now controlled
and the service Of the human
family Think for moment of
the human power, the horse power.
the steam power and the electric
power at present connected and
working together and in coniunc-
tlon with all the marvellous
machines that are in existence.
Yet in spite of all this control of
untold power and energy instead
OF making men freer and happier,
it is enabling small group of men,
known as capitalists, to maintain
the most repulsive form of slavery
that was ever enslaved 1900, 900
little children in the factories and
mills of this country; it has con-
demmed 3, 100000 women to hope
less toll, and created an army Of a

slider, Mr.. Workingman, what a
paradise this world could be made
II all this controlled power and
energy could be used for the ad-
vancement to all.

THE OLDEST TRAMP"
PRINTER IN COUNTRY

Andrew Hughes, is one of the
Oldest travelling printers in the
United States. For forty years he
has moved from town to town as
his fancy inclined him. He was
born in Mississippi sixty years ago
During the Civil War he started
out as a journeyman printer. He
has worked on 80 per cent. of the
daily and weekly newspapers of
the country, and has become so &C
customed to travelling that he can
not content himself for more than
a month in any one place.

CAREER OF
MATERSON
Who Will Report the Haywood
Trial for the. New York
Telegram.
Judge Hayes the Veteran Sports
man Tells Something of the
Mine Owners Paid
Writer.

Judge Hayes the veteran sports
man gives a few facts regarding
Bat Materson's early career to the
Duluth Labor World:
'oThe New York Telegram an
nounoes that it has engaged Bat
Materson to write some special con
tributions on the Idaho Colorado
affair with the Western Federation
OF Miners, Bat is quoted as say.
ing: 'Moyer, Haywood and Petit
bone are bad men,
81 have known Bat Materson
for many years. He was never
known to have drawn straight
breath in his life, and during the
widest days in the west, where
men might have been mighty
rough, there was always trait of
manhood about them. But with
Bat, he was known as man not to
be trusted. / could relate :. lot of
his dirty work if given the liberty
to do so in the Labor World.
II first knew Matelson in Den
yer in the early days, and later
when he was marshal of Dodge
City, Kansas. He always associ-
ated with crooked people and was
frequently stool pigeon for the
police.
II remember once when Cuckoo
Collins, the greatest sprinter of his
day, stole tray of diamonds from
a jewelry store. Bat Materson
was in on the deal. He got his bit
from Collins, and then tipped Col
Inns off to the chief of police. He
was later mixed up in crooked
faro bank deal in New York. was
arrested and had his gun taken
from him.
che has the reputation Of being
gun fighter, but I kaew people
in Denver who made NIaterson
jump from a second story window.
President Roosevelt recommended
him as a deputy United States
Marshal in New York, and then
Sullivan picked him M,
and now he is some one, but he
has not forgotten his old trick of
"knocking.''
"When John P. Glow was shot
in Denver, one of Bat Materson's
friends had the crowd stand back !.
and while he lifted CLOVIS head he
removed $500 diamond from the
fallen mans neck tic. He was dc.
tected in the act, and was obliged
to hand it back. So you can see
the kind of people this writer fol
the New York Telegram trained
with. All men are judged best by
the company they keep. Now he
is defaming the character Of three
innocent men, and he is contribut
ing his share to aid in their exc
cutlon, something he deserves more
than they"

Some few people have been max
ing a great deal of noise in Methodist
circles about what they call the many
changes of preachers made by Bishop
Morrison at the recent annual con-
ference, and the statement has been
made that there is great deal of dis
satisfaction. In the first place, Bish-
op Morrison did not make a record
in this respect. The changes made
by him, to quote some writer in the
Advocate, amounted to SIS per cent,
and the percentage for the past few
years has been about the same as this.
So there were not so many changes
made after all. But where the shoe
pinched was that so many presiding
elders who had been getting salaries
of 81 300 and more were sent to ST.
200 and less appointments. But in
this section the feeling is one of
satisfaction. It reminds us of the
old story of the fellow who died and
when some one asked of what COM
plant, the reply was: mo complaint
at all; everybody satisfied" And so
it is with the policy of Bishop Nor
rison, so far as the Methodists in
this section are concerned; everybody
is satisfied that he did wise thing.
