Detroit, dismisses the subject with the
conclusions: These are the times the
workingmen find themselves close to
the hearts of the Republican and
Democratic parties. After election
their usual position will be assumed
again."
The Pueblo (Colo.) Union Label
Bulletin remarks that BRO. Gompers
expresses himself as highly pleased
with the Democratic labor program,
but from this distance we fail to see
anything to get particularly enthusi-
astic about. We are presented with
the same old alternative of choosing
the lesser of two evils. with mighty
little choice in the matter"
The Piano and Organ Workers
Official Journal, printed in Chicago,
edited by Secretary Dold, formerly
president of the Chicago Federation
OF Labor, says in part, speaking OF
Gompers' action urging union people
to support Bryan ard the Democratic
party:

recently adopted by the Democrats at
their Denver convention.

people are left to speculate as to now

far they will go in reversing the poll

There is an air of uncertainty that

BRYaN's BUNCH OF PARADoxEs.

(From Champaign, ILL.,, Gazette.)
II we get hold OF Mr.. Bryan's idea
OF tariff reform, 1t Is something like
this: Certain changes which will re-
duce prices to consumers and raise
them for producers, that will increase
the wages of labor and make labor
cheaper, that will enlarge our imports
without diminishing our home pro-
duction, that will insure us substan-
tial free trade without diminishing
our revenue-these and few other
things equally paradolical and impos-
sible would meet his view of the case.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-09-09

Democratic parties have in times past
not hesitated to crush the hopes and
aspirations of the wage workers with
an iron heel whenever and wherever 1t
suited their purpose to do SO.
And this in lieu Of promise
chimerical or at best questionable an
ti-injunction plank.
@Ante-election promises have ever
been looked upon with scorn by labor
leaders-until now.
"We believe in political action of
the wage workers: we believe 1t to be
their only salvation.
I'VE do not believe in the kind of
politics that will boost party or par
ties to which we are indebted for all
OF labor's ills, no matter what prom
Uses may be made.
"The fifty, hundred or more years
of experience had by organized labor
should preclude the possibility of
turning the workers economic move
ment into an adjunct of political party
corruptionists.
I'VE believe in the ballot; we long
for the day when labor will become
political unit.
I'VE long for party of, for and
| by the wage worker.
Let 1t be said that President Com
pers meant well-but he erred"
Regarding Bryan and his speech of
acceptance the views of the following
prominent trade union leaders will be
interesting:
j. e. Pritchard, general secretary
of the International PAYERS and Ram
mers' Union, said:
Il consider Bryan's letter the weak
| est document of its kind ever written.
1t Is nonsense to assert that the Re-
publican party Is responsible for the
business depression. Under the Re
publican administration the people
had seven years of prosperity. The
depression was due to natural causes,
and politics had nothing to do with it.
If Bryan is elected there will be a
worse depression.
"The Knights of Labor went to
pieces when they went into politics.
and like fate will befall the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor unless 1t re-
fuses to support the Democratic party.
A labor union is an Industrial institu-
ton and should steer clear OF poll
ties
Edward Hourigan, of District No.
Is, of the International Association
of Machinists, said:
organs letter is not radical
enough. 1t is so weak it will destroy
much confidence on the part of the
working people in the Democratic
party. Bryan has no longer a ghost
of show of being elected
John A. Dyche, of the International
Women's Garment Makers Union,
said:
Bryan with his weak letter may
gain the support of many conserve
tives but will ALLEVIATE the labor vote. ).

tFrom the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.)
We hear of workingmen saying
that this time they intend to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, because for the past
ten months we have had hard times.
But what good will that do? How is
a tariff for revenue, ignoring the PRO
lection idea altogether. going to open
the shops and mills? How will the
election of Senators by direct vote
start the wheels of industry? Or
the publication OF campaign contri-
buttons? Or the further harassment
of the railroads? Or the reorganiza-
ton OF thesHouse, SO that the Speaker
may be powerless? Why open this
country now to tho markets of the
world when we have not sufficient de-
mand to consume what we ourselves
manufacture?

Then, as a matter of your mind
meeting my mind, since l think the
brain is sexless,' cried the girl, stung
into defense by his ready retort, I'll
discuss it with you, first telling you
that love with the gentle born is not
merely passion and that you are bru-
tally wrong"
The man looked at the slender
young body of the girl sitting straight
and tense in the chair 1t was not a
cherished theory for which she was
preparing to do battle, he reflected, but
the striving to maintain an ideal, even
at the expense of acknowledged
facts. Did she want to know her own
attitude? Then toward whom? The
self-put question frightened him, for
her seriousness meant agitation. 1t
was possibly true that she favored
Bob Branner; her world said So and
Bob had money. Thadfield knew that
many women were material in their
, desires, but the thought gripped at
his throat that Eleanor with her beau
ty, her youth and her purity would
marry a man like Branner, sin be-
sotted, because he had millions where
! other men she knew had thousands
AS he sat there thinking, he became
conscious that Eleanor was speaking
and her voice seemed to be coming
from an infinite distance.
Il think that it is better" she was
saying, TO gain mans love through
attraction of the mind rather than
through beauty Of face or form. The
one, having great resources, endures
the other, sooner subject to decay,

But you, Eleanor" Thadfield's hand
closed over one of her own and held it,
you have beauty of mind as well as
physical attraction, and so you are
| doubly fortunate"
The girl lifted startled eyes, which
grew wide as she looked into Thad-
fields face. She saw yearning, infinite
tenderness and mastery there. He
stood up suddenly, lifting her to her
feet before him. will you marry me,
| Eleanor" he queried, searching her
face with his keen eyes. Whatever
love is, l love you
A tender expression stole over her
face, look that Thadfield had never

when she had comforted little lost

bell rang sharply.

the girl, surprised.

READY TO WELCOME BISHOP.
Washington Society Has "GIad Hand"
for New Churchman.

While the grave and conscientious
men to whom is committed the task Of
securing a worthy successor to the Ia
mented Henry Yates Satterlee are Ia
boring to perform their task, there is
quite a futter in semi-religious social
circles over the prospect of a bachelor
bishop presiding over the select flock
at the capital city. According to ru-
NOR the choice has fastened on the
erudite rector of Grace church in New
York city, DR.. Huntington, and that he
has only to bow his head in assent to
receive the inter and the purple vest
ments. Now, bachelor bishop in the
Episcopal or other churches where the
clergy marry is exceedingly rare, and
Washington is fairly elate over even
a remote possibility The Protestant
bishops who have hitherto added so
much to the picturesqueness of Wash
ington society have always been Sc
date men with elderly wives and good
ly families.
Washington boasts four resident pre-
lates of episcopal dignity, two of the
Catholic faith, the delegate apostolic.
Mgr. Falconio, and Mgr. O'Connell of
the Catholic university; the Methodist
bishop of Maryland, Earl Cranston, and
the Episcopal bishop of Washington,
the latter post awaiting a successor
to Bishop Satterlee The Catholic pre-
lates count for little in the butterfly
world. Mgr. Falconio is a Franciscan
monk, and shuns the world and its
pomps. Mgr. O'Connell is a book
man, and he keeps to the erudite por-
ton of the social realm Bishop and
Mrs. Cranston mingle little in gave
ties, and Bishop Satterlee was very
busy with other problems than dinners
and five o'clock teas. But DR.. Hunt
ington opens an unknown vista.
Though learned and famous along
many lines, he goes much to the homes
of his flock. Not even an ambassador
in the unwed state would receive the
welcome which awaits a bachelor
bishop. AS a3guest of honor he will
rank everybody except an ambassa-
dor and he will shine in a solitary or
bit for those who seek new luminaries.
1t is to be hoped that if the courtly
rector of Grace church has any idea
of accepting the high honors at Wash
ington his digestion is in good condi-
ton, for a severe test awaits him.
