It is interesting. in connection
with this new trend of thought.
to note that the principles which
the Detroit union enunicates in
it's resolutions have found ex-
preston in the laws and usages
of younger countries, such as
New Zealand, eliminating in the
abolition of both the strike and
the boycott. 1t is a far cry from
p~resent-day conditions in this
country to those obtaining in the
new southern empire, but this is
a nation with wonderful ca
pacities for adapting political and
economic reforms, and the DE
trOit idea" may some day become
noteworthy by It's universal
adoption.

1t is a remarkable tribute to
the courage and clear-sighted
ness of the press Of the United

not been venal save in few and
scattered instances.
One vital point should be re-
membered, when Roosevelt's
message is read. The warfare
against the enforcement of the
law isn't confined to Washington
and the East. It is being carried
on right here at home. Your
own home papers are being bonn
barded with free news and lucra-
tive advertisements. Your own
public men are being approached
in subtle, insidious ways. Your
own representatives, judges,
your own newspapers. need the
encouraging support of honest,
wide-awake constituents-and
they are never any better than
you demand they should be.
There is in Roosevelt's special
message to Congress a special
message to every American voter
from Wall Street to Baton
Rouge.

World asserts that 80 per cent oil

beneficiary of a group of men
who had a material interest in
his election. Thus Mr.. Bryan's
campaign of 1885," says the
World, was financed almost

1896 support Mckinley. and did
it not observe without protest

The mine owners had no trust

times the millions Hanna collec-

Hanna collected in both his cam

the corruption of the ballot in all

has a clearer understanding to-

the election of 1896 was bought for
Mckinley with the enormous
slush fund Mark Hanna had Sc
cured from the trusts, the rail

the World may have to say about
the campaign of 1896 is sure to
help rather than injure Mr..
Bryan. Moreover it is not likely
that the Republican slush fund
of 1896 will be repeated on such
a tremendous scale this year.

The Labor Unions and the Strike.
New Orleans Item.
One of the most interesting, de-
cisions recently reached in labor
circles emanates from the De-
troit Federation of Labor. The
delegates to that organization re-
Gently adopted resolutions de-
claring that strikes are out of
date, and condemning the boy
colt and the Union label as in
efficient
In the course of the resolutions
the following interesting state
ment is made; Strikes and boy
colts are an old broken. down
wagon, not equal to the load that
union labor wanted it to carry"
The position taken by the
trades-unionists of Detroit is GER
tainly revolutionary, and is in di-
rect opposition to the activities of
organized labor all over the coun-
try. The agitation for active en-
forcement of the union label doc
trine, the principle of boycotting
those against whom grievance
are entertained, and the final re-
sort to the strike are still the
trinity to which the unions pin
their faith.
No less interesting. however,
than the new doctrine is the
remedy which the Detroit union
lists believe will solve the various
ailments of the body polite.
They advance the idea that radi-
cal changes in the government of
the nation and state are neces-
sary, and would accomplish la
boris objects more effectively
than present methods.
There Is no denying that the
principle of the strike hardly
commends itself toany man of eco
nomic ideas either inside or out
of the union. It is destructive to
all concerned. and always leaves
both parties exhausted. It is
productive of bitter feeling, Of

land, the noted philanthropist, poet
and patriot, was celebrated. Exer
cises concentrating the life and
deeds of Wergeland were held under
the auspices of numerous patriotic,
historical and literary societies.
Born in 1908, Henrik WergeIand
was the first poetic genius TO raise
voice in the regenerated Norway of
1914. In the struggle against assimi-
lation which began Immediately after
the union of Norway and Sweden was
consummated, Wergeland took a lead
ing part. To such an extent is he
identified with that phase of political
history of Norway that in the popular
mind of the day he passed as the
originator of the celebration of the
seventeenth of May, the anniversary
of the adoption of the constitution of
1914.
In his short life of 81 years Verge
land was prominently identified with
every movement having for its object
the welfare and progress of his coun-
try. He urged the adoption of better

of San Bernardino ranch, who're they

the direction of John Costin. their

rights go with it. Most of it is sus-

is a large area OF grazing lands The
consideration involved in the deal
by which the Indians acquired the
land is not given, though it vas
thought at low figure and leaves the

Saturday when $50 white miners went

marched the negroes all day Saturday,
allowing the women and children to
camp and eat what food they carried
with them, but forced the men to keep
moving.
