the ingenious Thuringian toymakers,
who promptly improved upon 1t. up
to that time they had made dolls onlF
of wood and leather, but soon they
evolved the wax head-at first crude
article, the wax being applied with

making the heads dropped q thimbl'
into his pot of fluid wax and on taking
1t out found it covered with smooth
and beautiful coat of the substance.
He was not slow to seize the idea, the
result being the adoption Of the dip

TAFT'S INJUNCTIONS.

l ask that every responsible
and fair-minded labor leader, ev-
cry responsible and fair-minded
member Of labor organization,
read these (Taft's) injunctions
for himself. If he will do so, in
stead of condemning them he will
heartily approve of them and will
recognize this further astonish-
ing fact that the principles laid
down by Judge Taft in these very
injunctions, which laboring peo-
pie are asked to condemn, are
themselves the very principles
which are now embodied in the
laws or practices Of every respon-
sible labor organization. The
principles which he therein so
wisely and fearlessly laid down
serve as a charter of liberty for
all Of us, for wage workers, for
employers, or the general public;
for they rest on the principles of
fair dealing for all, of overland
ed justice for all. They mark
the judge who rendered them as
standing for the rights Of the
whole people; as far as daylight
is from darkness, so far is such a
judge from the time-server, the
trucker to the mob, or the cring-
ing tool of great, corrupt and cor
rupting corporations.-President

When Their Usefulness is Ended

Some man, by name, DR.. Mayes,
occupied the pulpit Of st. Paul last
Sunday night and proved to be sad
failure-with all due respect for him
and his sincerity, he should not have
robbed the people so; people went
to the church, the hot weather
nevertheless, to hear DR.. Price or
some man versed in the law and the
truth, but were cheated badly.
We fear that this hurts the church
cripples the attendance and demon
allies the race. Dr. Price or any
other pastor can be courteous to
such men without giving over their
church to them. Rev. Price, we are
sure, was aiming to do benevolent
act and to help the old man. We
do not believe these men should ask
for aims unless they are dependent.
1t is outrageous for every man who
visits a church to ask for aims un-
less he is in dire circumstances.
