Labor Organizations.
1t Is important that we should EN-
courage trade agreements between en-
ployer and employee where they are
just and fair. A strike is q clumsy
weapon for righting wrongs done to
labor and we should extend, so far as
possible, the process of Cancellation
and arbitration for strikes. Moreover,
violence, disorder and coercion, when
committed in connection with strikes.
should be as promptly and as sternly
repressed as when committed in any
other connection. But strikes them
selves are, and should be, recognized
to be entirely legal. Combinations OF
workingmen have peculiar reason
for their existence. The very wealthy
individual employer, and still more tho
very wealthy corporation, stand at an
enormous advantage when compared
to the individual workingman; and
while there are many cases where 1t
may not be necessary for laborers to
form a union, In many other cases it
Is indispensable, for otherwise the
thousands of small units, the thou
sands of individual workingmsn, will
be left helpless in their dealings with
the big one unit, the big individual or
corporate employer.
Twenty-Five years ago, by the act Of
June 20, 1886. trades unions were rec
ognized by law, and the right of la
boring people to combine for all
lawful purposes was formally recog.
nized. this right including combina-
tons for mutual protection and bene-
fits, the regulation Of wages, hours
and conditions of labor, and the pro-
lection Of the individual rights Of the
workmen In the prosecution OF their
trade or trades; and In the act of
June l, 1898, strikes were recognized
as legal In the same provision that for.
bade participation In or instigation OF
force or violence against persons or
property, or the attempt to prevent
others from working. by violence,
threat or intimidation. The business
man must be protected In person and
property. and so must the farmer and
the wageworker: and as regards all
alike, the right of peaceful combina.
ton for all lawful purposes should be
explicitly recognized.

Tariff Revision.

The time has come when We should

preceded by careful investigation. II
Is peculiarly the province of the con-
gress and not Of the president, and in
deed peculiarly the province Of the
house Of representatives, to originate
tariff bill and to determine upon Its
terms; and this fully realize. Yet 1t
seems to me that before the close Of
this session provision should be made
for collecting full material which
will enable the congress elected next
fall to act Immediately after 1t comes
into existence. This would necessitate
some action by the congress at It's
present session, perhaps In the shape
OF directing the proper committee to
gather the necessary information, both
through the committee itself and
through government agents who
should report to the committee and
should lay before 1t the facts which
would permit II to act with prompt
and intelligent fairness. These govern
ment agents, III IL Is not deemed Wise
to appoint individuals from outside the
public service, might with advantage
be members of the executive depart
ments, designated by the president.
on his own motion or on the request OF
the committee, to act with It.
am of the opinion, however, that
one change in the tariff could with
advantage be made forthwith. Our
forests need every protection, and one
method OF protecting them would be
to put upon the free list wood pulp,
with a corresponding reduction upon
paper made from wood pulp, when
they come from any country that
does not put an export duty upon
them.

MAY BECOME STATE LAW.
Iowa Falls Has Plan of Paying In
terest on Public Funds.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Oct. 13.-The arrange
ment in this city of paying interest on
public funds, promises to become a
state law, if the plans of certain Iowa
lawmakers do not miscarry. For sew
eral years, the treasurer of the city
as we'll as the treasurer of the inde-
pendent school district, has been bound
by prediction agreement to pay 4
per cent on the public funds entrusted
to their care. The result of this plan
has been the realization of no small
item to the city and the district, in
the way Of interest. 1t is now proposed
by certain members of the legislature
to make the paying of interest on pub
lie funds obligatory. Under the pro-
posed measure cities, school districts,
and counties will receive q reasonable
interest on the funds belonging to the
taxpayers. 1t is thought this measure
will be opposed by the banking inter-
ests of the state, but it's adoption
means a saving of thousands of dollars
to the public.

YOUNG HEIREss KIDNAPPED
Chicago Girl Picked Up and Carried
Away in an Auto.

Chicago, Oct 13.-While she was
walking beside her grandmother yes
terday afternoon, Margaret Frances
Mitchell, s years old, heiress to $780,
900, was seized by kidnapers. They
threw her into AN automobile and drove
1nadly thru the streets of the city and
the surrounding country towns for
four hours before they finally disap-
peared, taking the child with them.
Robert H Mitchell, father of the
child--an employe of the city law de-
partment-is convinced that his daugh-
ter was stolen by persons hired by his
wife, from whom he separated three
months ago.
The entire police force of the city
was thrown into the case, but at mid
night they had made little progress
with the mystery beyond a clew that
the kidnapers probably had taken an
interurban electric to Joliet.
The detectives also failed to find
Mrs Mitchell, who has been followed
from one hotel to another during the
last four weeks in an effort to serve
upon her notice of the beginning of di-
vorce proceedings by her husband.
While the police at once began their
search for the automobile, the number
of which-94S0-had been caught by a
witness, they also made an inquiry in
to the affairs of the Mitchell family,
which supplied the motive for the kid
mapping. Ten years ago Mitchell, who
was a Chicago boy, was travelling in
North Carolina, when he met Margaret
TRIMMER, an lleiress and the belle of
the town of Spartansburg. Two years
before her uncle, Frank TRIMMER, who
owned much property in the town, had
died, leaving a fortune estimated at
$10O,0O0.
The provision of this uncles will was
that the income from this was to be
given to his favorite niece, Polly"
as she was called, but that in the event
o. her marriage and the birth Of a
child the title to the estate was to be
vested entirely in the child upon COM
in@ of age.

VIOLATED GAME LAWS.
Three Hamilton County Men Fined
for Spearinq Fish.


for spearing Fish.
Webster City, Oct. l3.-Harry Bar
meier, of Dubuque, deputy game war
den and president of the Iowa Game
and Fish Protective association, who
has been in the city during the past few
days organizing local branch of the
above association, caught a party of
four men Saturday night in the act
of spearing fish about a mile and q
half below the Tremaine bridge over
the Boone river.
The parties arrested We're G. Adams,
A. Meyers, w. Hatfield and j. A. Hat
field. All plead guilty to the charge
lodged against them by the deputy
game warden and each paid the sum of
$17.3O as fine and costs.
Mr. Barmeier says there seems to be
a mistaken notion among some Of the
residents along the river thru whose
places the Boone passes. Some of them
seem to think that because the river
runs thru their farms they have the
right to take fish from its waters IN
any way they choose. This is altogether
a. wrong idea The stream belongs to
the state and illegal fishing applies to
those thru whose farms the river runs
as well as to others.
