The Jewel Of Forgiveness.

Nothing Is more moving to man
than the spectacle of reconciliation;
our weaknesses are thus Unidentified
and are not too costly. being the
price we pay for the hour of forgive
ness; and the archangel who has
never felt anger has reason to envy
the man who subdues It When thou
forgivest, the man who has pierced
thy heart stands to thee in the rela-
ton Of the sea-worm that perforates
the shell Of the mussel, which
straightway closes the wound with a
pearl-Rirbter.

 FOLLOW A DENVER FAIL URE

Denver, Colo, Sept, 12-ReveIations of a sensational nature were made pub lie today regarding the failure of s. A. Booth and Company, the $12,000. 900 fish game and sea food corporation, which was placed in the hands of a receiver Thursday.
 That the concerns books have been juggled fo ra period extending back at least three years. Is charged in a cir cular sent out by the interested bank CTS, who also set forth that in the com pany's statements. $1,2o0, 900 had been deducted from the liabilities and the books made to balance by a similar Juggling in the asset column By reason of this manipulation, 1t is ai- legged the corporation has been able to float paper that otherwise might not have been accepted by the purchasers
 So serious are the various charges that 1t was freely predicted the fail- ure would find an echo in the criminal courts. Members of the Booth family, however. are said to be in no way in- volved in any questionable transac- tions. They are said to have been the heaviest losers by reason of the mis- management of others. in whom they had imposed confidence.
 The statement of the bankers bears the following signatures:

LABOR IN POLITICS
CALL MADE UPoN woRkINGMEN TO
 VOTE.
Executive Committee of Federation stands by Mir. Gompers and Re- pels Suggestion of D;cfa-
 ston to Unions.

Washington, Sept. I2.--The Executive Committee of the American Federation of Labor today unanimously adopted the report of the labor representation committee, calling upon the workers of our common country to stand faith fully by our friends. oppose and defeat our enemies. whether they be candi- date for President, Congress or other offices, whether executive, legislative or judicial.
 It recommends that another appeal be issued to secure the election of men favorable to securing the justice. rights and equality before the law to which the toilers are entitled and to defeat such candidates who are indif- ferent or hostile to such legislative rellefs."
 We shall in the future" says the report. "as we have in the past, shape our course upon a non-partisan basis. We have judged and propose oljudge candidates for any office upon their records and attitude and not because of their political party affiliations"
 The report points out the failure of Congress to enact pro-lahor legisla- tion and recounts the sending of orr ganizers into Speaker Cannons dis trict and to other. Congressional dis tricts, carrying out the policy of the American labor movement" It says a number of conspicuous labor oppo- nents In both houses of Congress have been defeated for renominatIon through labor.
 The report u-9es the cooperation of unions generally and declares there is unanimity of sentiment and determi- nation to fully carry out the policy declared by the organized labor move ment.
 The attitude of the council toward President Gcmpers position in the campaign Is expressed in the report as follows:
 We desire to refute here the as- pensions cast upon the executive coun- ell and particularly on one of its mem bers. President. that 1t is our purpose, or his. to dictate to the working peo- ple of our country how they should cast their votes In the coming cleo tion-nor has any one promised the vote of the workingman to any par ticular party.
 We have strongly. clearly and em- phatically. and 1t was our duty, pre- sented the situation in which the work ingmen of the country find themselves, upon both political parties as to neces- sary action which they should take. the treatment they have received and have appealed to the judgment and patriot ism of the working people and the friends of labor throughout the coun- try, since both political parties have spoken. to make their choise as their conscience may dictate.
 We have so conducted and propose to so conduct our course. that the labor movement shall remain as free and in- dependent from political partisan dom ination as 1t has ever been in its his- fory"
