IN THE LABOR WORLD

Now that the national election is over.
labor leaders say industrial matters will
be resumed by the numerous unions. For
a stretch of more than six months little
else than politics was discussed by the
organized workingmen.
A story is related in the current issue
of the Journal of the knights of Labor
anent the great army of unemployed In
New York. 1t is stated that pedestrians
in Central Park, passing through the
walk bordering the East meadow between
101st and 102d streets, saw an unkempt
man sitting on a bench beside a young
woman. who was holding a baby in her
arms, pull out a revolver and shoot him
self in the head. He fell over lifeless
against the woman. and while she sat
there, frozen with horror. the baby played
with its fingers in the mans hair
BY the act of the man on the bench be-
side her the young woman was made a
widow and the baby in her arms was de-
prived of a father. The suicide was Jacob
Messing of 53 East 111th street. He was
twenty-seven years old, strong and in
good health Three years ago he married
in Russia and two years ago he left his
bride there while he came to the United
States to make a home for both and the
baby.

bllttonhole maker. He sent for his wife
and her baby, now eighteen months old.
and they reached New York a month ago.
A few days after Messing arrived from
Kansas city and established home in a
Hat house.
Messing expected that he would have
no difficulty in getting work in this city
at his trade. He found all the shops full

Two days ago he suggested to his wife
that they kill themselves and take the

Judge James NJ. Galbreath of Butler
county. Pa. has made permanent the in
junction restraining union men from in
tertering with the operation of the mines
The restraining ordSr covers four col
lieries at Hilliard and Argentine where
40 non-union men are now employed.
These mines have been running non union
since last April, when strike occurred.
IF there ever was a completely iuSt-
fable strike it is the one recently de-

Hail! a Deliverer.

Then in walked newspaper man with
much influence, it seems, and much bust
nessiike atmosphere about him. HE did
it. HE fixed 'em. HE talked low and
earnestly to the sergeant for five min
utes and then the sergeant let George go.
And George was SO elated he shook
hands with every cop in the room, and
with his own particular cop twice, and
asked him to come see him, and patted
the sergeant on the back, and went out,
followed by the boys.
And then the sergeant got down TO
business to look over fourteen or fifteen
pocket picking cases. settle eight disputes
about cab fare, look over a small army
of joyful jags, write up his book, borrow
a chew of tobacco and tell the boys that
the election was going just the way he
thought it would.

"Now, Will You Be Good?"

But George and the boys certainly did
have lot to say. George told everybody
just who his folks were and what his
father would DO and just what he per-
sonally would do to any man that dared

blue uniform asked him how he would

All this time Georges friends were
arguing the case with the rest of the

WILLIAM n. TAFT AND THE
SPRINGFIELD RIOT.

When Taft acquiesced In the dis
missal Of the rioting Negro troops
It was claimed that he lost the Ne
gro vote. Now that he has denounc-
ed the white rioters of Springfield,
we expect to hear that he has for
feited the white vote, too.
Any thoughtful person at all well
Informed on current events need ex-
perience no difficulty in seeing in the
foregoing editorial from the Detroit
News q very serious and exceedingly
damaging reflection upon the Amer
lean Caucasian as a class-a reflec-
ton which The Informer believes to
be wrong. Murder and arson we're
committed by white people in Spring
field in broad daylight and IN sight OF
thousands Of eye witnesses, Kate
Howard, for instance, the keeper OF
house OF iIlfame, most publicly
urging on the mob at Loper's restau-
rant. Not a single eye witness as to
the guilt Of the Colored soldiers at
Brownsville, however, was ever pro-
duced. Taft himself admitted in a
letter to Roosevelt that In his opin-
ion une Of the chief spurious eye
witnesses" had lied in his testimony.
Moreover, the weight of all the cir
cumstantial evidence obtainable was
strongly on the side of the innocence
of the soldiers. Let us paraphrase
the News statement by sticking a
little more expressly to the truth in
each case, as follows: Taft acquies-
ocd in visiting drastic punishment On
men who we're accused of rioting.
Notwithstanding the fact that a jury
1ctoTiCusly p-ejudiced against them
was unable to return an Indictment
in heir case, and despite the further
fact that 2 hostile and most exhads-
tive and bubble trial showed them
tn De very probably innocent Now.
Iike everybody else, We freely admit
that white criminals committed Eur
der and arson in Springfield. Since
Taft Ecquiesced in Furnishing Negroes
against whom nothing could be
proved and thereby lost the Negro
vote, now that he has denounced the
known white criminals we expect to
hear of his losing the Caucasian
vote" We are not ready to accept
the News statement that, in effect,
the white vote will resent denuncla-
ton Of persons known to be criminal
as strongly as the Colored vote will
resent severe and grievous punish
ment Of innocent men.-The inform
er, Detroit, Mich.

PENSIONS PRoLoNG. LIFE.
An Important Factor In the Promotion
Of Longevity.

An Important Factor In the Promotion
Of Longevity.
An important and noteworthy fact
which Is to be taken into account by
English economists in the administra-
ton OF their old age pension system is
that pensioners live long. That fact,
often stated In a satiric vein, Is to be
taken seriously, as demonstrated BY
statistics and as having an essential
bearing on both the amount Of pen
sions to be paid and the effect Of them
upon society.
A striking demonstration Of this IS
TO De observed In the records Of the
Friendly Society Of Iron Founders In
England. That organization has for
many years been paying pensions to
its superannuated members. In 1885
It was found that the average age
Of these pensioners at death was six
ty-eight years and six months. In
1867 It was seventy-one years and
three months. Thus the average life
Of a pensIoner had been heightened by
two years and nine months.
1t does not appear that the general
average OF human life in England has
been heightened to so great an extent
wherefore we must conclude that the
pensions are an important factor in
the promotion Of longevity. That Is
quite natural. OF course, for the en-
joyment Of a pension means better
food and generally better conditions
OF life than the superannuated worker
would have without It, as well as
greater freedom from anxiety, and
those improved circumstances prolong
life.
II the same rule operates under the
national pension system, as It proba-
bly, win, though perhaps not to 50
marked an extent, the national treas
my wfll have more to pay on that ae-
count than Is estimated under the
present expectancy Of life.
This Increase IN the length Of life
Of pensioners, while Il win add to the
cost Of the system. Is OF course to be
regarded with Qualification as a be-
nehcent and desirable result and as an
argument IN favor OF The gystem-

ILLINOIS GOVERNOR FAILED TO
DO HIS DUTY.

Governor Deneen showed plainly
his sympathy for the mob and his
prejudice for the Colored population
OF Springfield when he failed to rush
the Sth regiment into the district
wherein the majority Of the Colored
people resided. II this had been
done no white mob would have dared
to attempt to invade the homes in
that neighborhood, and they would
have felt secure, and they would not
have been forced 70 fee in order to
save their lives. 1t has been proven
on several occasions that a state
militia is worthless when It comes
to riots and lockouts, strikes and the
like. And they were never known
to hurt themselves while pretending
to defend the life, home and property
Of q Colored man, whether he be
good or bad. Governor Deneen or
dered troops from Chicago and from
all parts of the state to go to Spring
field, but omitted 70 order out the
Colored militia for fear that it would
anger that bloodthirsty, villainous
mob. So helpless and tfmid were
some Of the militia that they permit
ted the members Of the mob to take
their guns from them and lock them
up in the armory. Looking at the
situation broadly, does it seem I'M
possible that a courageous governor
seated in a state house with thou
sands Of militia at his back could
not have stopped riOting such as this
before it ran three days7 Governor
Deneen, through cowardice and race
prejudice. has helped 10 drag the

D. ]. Kenny, wealthy plumber of

county grand jury yesterday on
charges preferred by his niece, Their
esa Kenny, seventeen years old.
Kenny was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Crosby after the girl had

girl is the daughter Of Kenny's broth

Miss Kenny ran to the home OF q

dows and doors be locked. It was
some time before she became calm.
Then she declared that the uncle had
attacked her. Intense feeling was
shown by residents Of the aristocrat-
ic suburb until the prisoner was held
for the jury.
