Deals Only in Facts.

In the earlier years of the work peo.
pie did not, in many instances, take
kindly to the idea of having their pri-
vate affairs probed for the benefit of
the public, but latterly this spirit has
largely disappeared. Nowadays if the
special agents of the bureau of labor
are refused information by one manu-
facturer they usually have no difficulty
in discovering some other establish
ment where the needed data may be
obtained. The government labor ex-
perts have won confidence by never
allowing the names of parties furnish
ing facts to be given in its reports. al
though, to be sure, they take every
possible means to verify all the infor-
nation gathered The bureau will
have nothing to do with estimates or
hearsay statements about labor con-
ditions. 1t never makes any state
ments unless it. has positive facts to
back them up.
At the outset the government labor
experts thought that they could carry
on their investigations largely by mail,
but it was soon found that few people
would respond satisfactorily to queries
thus transmitted and so the bureau of
labor had to organize corps of spe-
cial agents who are continually ION
the wing" securing information at first
hand and recording it on carefully pre-
pared schedules. The policy of the
bureau of labor in looking into labor
conditions and the problems of life
affecting the working people is seldom
if ever to argue a point. 1t simply
secures all the facts III the case and
then let's the intelligent labor man de-
eide what is best for him from the in
formation set out for his benefit The
bureau of labor is particularly fortu-
nate in its directing heads. The COM
missioner of labor, Dr. Charles P.
Neill, formerly one of the faculty of
the Catholic university at Washington,
is man who has a wonderful faculty
for clear-sighted investigation and the
chief clerk of the bureau, Mr.. G. w. w.
Hanger, has been fitted by long expert
ence for work in behalf of the cause
of labor.

BRYAN AN ISSUE
IN ALABAMA
DEVELOPMENTS INDICATE THAT
THERE WILL BE A WARM TIME
OVER INTRUSION OF THE
DELEGATES.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. G.
Members of the Alabama democratic
executive committee are beginning
to arrive in Montgomery today, pre-
lIminary to the meeting to be held
tomorrow to decide on the party
primaries and convention. Exclus-
i've of the chairman and secretary
there are As members of the execu-
tive committee in Alabama, four
from each of the nine districts and
nine from the state at large.
As stated in the official call the
purpose of the meeting is to arrange
for the state primaries and to set
a date for the state convention,
at which delegates to the national
convention to be held in Denver will
be selected. The state primaries
will be called for the election of
two supreme court judges. While
this is an off year in politics in Ala
bama, it is expected that there will
be several prominent y en- asking for
these positions on the supreme
court bench. At the LIST state con-
vention the precedent was set where
by the state officers are to be NOM
mated in primaries. although they
may be elected in convention. This
election, of course, is a matter of
form. At the primaries, too, dele
gates to the state convention will
be elected, the convention to be
called by the executive committee.
From late developments it is ex-
pected that there will be a warm
fight in the convention as to wheth-
er or not the delegates to the ma
tional convention are to be instruct
ed for Bryan for the presidency.
An anti-Bryan movement was set
on foot some time ago in Birming-
ham by Walker Percy and other
representative citizens. The gentle
men identified with the anti-Bryan
movement will work for anti-Bryan
delegates to the state convention,
and in case OF their election these
anti-Bryan delegates will work in
the convention for delegates to the
national convention in Denver in
structed against Mr.. Bryan.
However, there was another move
ment put on foot at the same time
in the interest of Mr.. Bryan, and
from reports gathered from nearby
/ communities, Bryan is the prime
favorite in Alabama
Bryan men are free to predict
that If the Alabama delegation to
be elected in the state convention
Is not instructed for Mr. Bryan
| it will not be instructed for any
other.

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS

BRYAN1TEsf ARE GREATLY CONCERNED MENTION OF
WOODROW WILSON ASA POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
CLEVELAND BEIN GMPoRTUNED TO ATTEND NATIONAL
CONVENTION TO PROPOSE THE NAME OF WILSON

NEW YORK, Feb, 6.-Politicians
90 inclined to attach considerable
inheritance to the present visit of
william ]. Bryan to New Jersey.
The Nebraskan I is making whirl-
wind tour of the northern counties
today, being scheduled for addresses
IN Jersey City, Patterson, Newark
and one or two other places.
It is said that Mr.. Bryan's sup
.norters are somewhat concerned
over the present situation in New
. Iersey While the Nebraska leader
has many warm adherants among
the democrats of that state it is by
mo means certain that he will re-
,eeiye the entire party support in his
aspiration for the presidential nom
nation.
The former gold democrats, who
have always been very strong in
New Jersey, have for the most part
forgotten past differences and might
for the most part be counted on to
support Mr.. Bryan, provided, how
ever that no more suitable candl-
date is trotted out between now and
the time of the Denver convention.
The situation is similar to that in
other states. 1t simply means that
If no formidable opposition to the
Nebraskan arises New Jersey demo-
Gratis, like those of many other states
will vote for Mr.. Bryan's nominal
ton.
But the mention of Woodrow Will
son as an available candidate has
caused some uneasiness in the
Bryan ranks. and it is believed that
this has lead to the present visit of
Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Wilson is president
OF Princeton University, and though
southernor by birth, is looked up
on as New Jersey man through and
through.
While his so-ea1led boom has not
as yet taken serious hold, he is at
least regarded as among the posi-
bilities Much depends upon the at
titude of former President Cleveland

OBJECTS To
PAYING TUITION
OWNER OF 40 SECTIONS OF
DOUGLAS COUNTY LAND TRIES
TO BEG OFF PAYING $40.

Spokane, June 26-"I am a poor
man, gentlemen, and l have not a
cent of income from my land My
boy and girl have worked hard to
get money for their schooling, and
do not think | should pay tuition"
testified Henry Seller, known as the
richest man in Lincoln county," in
his plea to the board of education
that he be not compelled to pay tut
tion fees for his son Herbert and his
daughter Rosa, who have been at
tending Spokane schools.
Seller admittedly owns more than
20 ,000 acres of land in the Eastern
Washington wheat belt-about forty
full sections.
A member of the board asked Sell
er if he was not the owner of forty
sections of land.
''Oh, ia, ia, but it is mostly wild
land, and only 500 acres are under
cultivation. l have no income, moth
ing"
The board, however, decided that
since Sellers property is all unin-
numbered, and worth considerably
more than 100000, he would have
to pay the $40.
