GONPERS ADMITS
WRITING EDITORIAL
Labor Leader Insists He Had
Right TO Express Opinion
in FederatiOniSt.

Acting under protest, but stiI rec
oguiziug the order OF the District SU-
preme Court. President Samuel Com
pers. Of the American Federation Of
Labor. this morning appeared before
Examiner Harper TO answer the ques-
tions OF Attorney Davenport. OF the
Buck stove and Range Company, as
TO the alleged violations by GomPers
and by labor papers OF the Injunction
issued by Justice Gould last winter.
Attorney Davenport directed his at
tentfou during the morning 10 the es-
tablishmeut Of the fact that Mr. Com
pers continued TO violate the injUnc-
ton order which was made operative
December %. 1901 He read extracts
from several labor papers published
after that date IN which the Buck Stove
and Range Company was mentioned as
being unfair and not TO be patronized
either by union labor or by the friends
Of union labor.
Mr. Gcmpers acknowledged that all
the extracts brought into the eXamina-
ton were correct quotations from the
American Federationist; from circulars
issued by himself or Frank Morrison,
-ecretary. or were editorials taken from
he FederatiOnist.
Declines to Be BulHed.
At one point during the proceedings
ba asked that the stenographer lay
aside his pencil, and started IN 10 tell
Mr.. Davenport that he wanted the
Rearing TO proceed IN a friendly way.
and that he objected exceedingly to be
ing "bullied."
Mr.. Gompers expressed several times
the ii / that his editorials and other
expressions regarding the Buck Stove
and Range Company and the privilege
that organized labor had Of refusing
to buy the product Of that concern were
nothing more than his own editorial
opinion Of an absolute fact
one Of the last exhibits Of the morn
ing was g. COPY Of the American Fedora
ZIONIST OF March, 1905 in which Mr..
Gompers printed a brief sentence stat
ing that ii should be borne IN mind that
organized labor does not have TO buy
Buck stoves or ranges because Of JUS
tice GOuld's order, nor does II nave 10
purchase LOewe hats.
Unfair List Omitted.
In the same issue of the paper, the
unfair or 1--WE don't patronize" list,
which contained the name Of the Buck
Stove and Range Company, was left
out Attorney Davenport wanted TO
know why this list had been left out
and yet an editorial inserted directing
atter.tion TO the choice which labor may
make as 10 where 1t shah buy hats
or stoves.
Mr.. Gompers maintained that he did
not put the editorial in the Federationist
for the purpose Of calling attention to
the alleged unfairness OF the stove com
pany. but merely because he desired
shat all men who read the paper should
xnow that they can buy where they
please, in spite of any court decisions.

life is a purely chemical wonder and is so

The sensible man must agree with the
following passage from Mr.. Cadys funeral

"On an occasion like this many will ask

must answer that death is only dissolu

Only Coward will Trembe before the
Idea of an Ever Dreamess Sleep.
(By Harold Banning.)

The belief in future life is grounded on
cowardice.
Mankind dreading the thought of eter-
nal, dreamless sleep, has built up system
of religions promising eternal life after our
life here on earth.
Remove the fear of eternal sleep, and
Christianity will crumble as the faith OF
the Greeks has crumbled before it. The
man who fears not, believes not; while the
coward will cling to his Bible and his
church as a drowning man clings to a
straw.
The belief in eternity excites only con-
tempt in the strong and fearless mind,
which is ready to bow to the law of nature.
The one and lonely argument of the Christ
ians is only worthy of contempt. The old
question of How did We get here without
a creator?" satisfies only the imbecile who
believes that poor, weak man must have a

Magnificent System of Graft Revealed by
Visit to Shiloh Hill.
(By Manly A. Brigham)

Your readers have all heard of shiloh"

Holy Ghost and U.s."
Maine, not far from the city of Lewiston.
Rev. Frank Sanford, a native of the
section, some years ago hit upon the plan
of relying upon the Lord for the good
things of life, instead of working for them.

them. They all work, and the produce is
turned into the society depot. 1t is then
distributed to them by the Agent as they
need it, or as he thinks they do. l visited
the place few weeks since, and in CONVEX
sa,ion with the financial agent, found that
this system of distribution was called

ed npon his, l said very deliberately but
with force, "Mr. Shaw, that means that
you have a well regulated business system
of collection and distribution, and you call
the system the lord"
He lowered his eyes, and said, Why
yes, We have a system,-of course, We have
a system"
Facing a man whom he knew could not
be fooled by religious cant and phrases,
he did not have the hardihood to stick to
the lord giving" idea.

Effect Of Fertilizer.

In the use of fertiliZiDg material. nj
trogen tends to stimulate leaf growth.
An abundance Of nitrogen in the soil Is
indicated by rank luxuriant growth
and dark green foliage, for much nj
trogen on vines, shrubs and trees
causes a too rapid growth of wood.
The wood thus formed is rather tender
and soft and does not ripen properly
and is often injured by the winter
weather. An excessive use of nitrogen
stimulates leaf and wood growth at
the expense Of fruit.
Phosphoric acid and potash have
more to do with the development of
the parts of the fruit buds, fruit and
seed. They also produce a more nor
NAL development of the parts of the
plant, the parts are firmer, the wood
ripens better and is more hardy.-A. L.
