Wondering II There Will Be Sunday
Park Concerts This Season.
The membership of the Musicians
Union is wondering if there will be
Sunday band concerts in the new city
park this summer. The fact that the
park commission is wholly without
funds for this purpose-or for any
other, so far as that goes-renders it
useless to talk to the commission
about it. 1t seems now that it is up
to the street car companies to show
their enterprise and provide the band
and reap the reward in the shape OF
numerous fares to and from the park.
Perhaps it would be good idea for
the union to furnish band for an
opening Sunday and thus demonstrate
to the street car companies that it
would pay to continue the concerts
through the summer.
The Elite theater management is
beginning to realize the mistake made
in refusing to deal with the Musicians
Union on fair basis. The union is
not going to engage in anything SO il
legal as boycott. but it is calling the
attention of union men to the fact

Labor Demands
Justice at Once

Washington, d. c., March 21.-
While the supreme court or other III.
stitutions may be able to temporarily
retard and seriously embarrass the
growth and action of our movement,
We boldly assert that no power on
earth can destroy, successfully outlaw
or disrupt the trade union movement" :"
These words were the key to an ad-
d1ess issued tonight to organized labor
and farmers association by the labor
workers who have been in session in
this city for the past four days. The
meeting had been called by President
Gompers Of the American Federation
of Labor. The address states that a
large part of the discussion Of the
conference was devoted to the con.
sideratfon of the supreme courts ac-
ton in applying the Sherman anti
trust law to labor.
"The proceedings" the address says,
were marked by the utmost harmony
There was, indeed, the intensity Of
feeling which SO grave a situation
must evoke. There was also I'm
bounded enthusiasm, grim earnest
ness of purpose and a firm determine
tion that work initiated by this con
ference should not cease until the
wrongs from which the workers suf-
fer shall be righted and their liberty,
which has been imperiled, shall be
restored and forever safeguarded.'
Demand Prompt Action.
The further statement is made that
j; was the unanimous feeling of the
conference that some steps should be
taken to impress upon congress the
necessity for prompt action toward
amending the Sherman antitrust law
sc that it shall be inapplicable to "or

profit and without capital stock, MOI

Former Governor Suggested as
Bryan's Running Mate.
Washington, March 21.-As 1t is
generally admitted that Mr.. Bryan will
be the democratic candidate, more and
more there is talk heard among lead
ing democrats at the capital of ex-
Governor William L. Douglas of
Massa chusetts being his running mate.
|If Mr.. Douglas should be nominated
it is the opinion of some democrats
that it would make Massachusetts the
fighting ground. In this connection
there is an interesting story current
to the effect that should the demo-
Gratis nominate Mr.. Douglas the labor
vote will be cast for that party. In
addition to his reputation as a friend
|of labor, Mr.. Douglas possesses other
qualities calculated to make him
suitable candidate for the vice-presi-
dcncy He is looked upon as typical
American, and what is fully as much
to the point, he has the barrel Of

ciate with the second place on presi-

story possible nowhere but in America.
Yesterday he was poverty-stricken;
today he is a multi-millioaire. Yes

penalty of disobedience is a severed head.
Therefore. no matter what may be the
personal feelings of the mandarin, 1t Is
not safe for him to disregard the i'm

According to the imperial edct land
under poppy cultivation is to be reduced
one-tenth annually. and rewards will be
given In districts where the production is
wholly wiped out before the expiration Of
that period.
All opium smokers now have to register
themselves, stating the amount of their
consumption, and no opium may be sold
to q person not so registered.
Smokers under sixty years Of age must
decrease their allowance by one-fifth an
nually.
Equally important has been the compul-
sorry legislation dealing with the public
dens for the smoking Of the fatal pitch.
These had to be closed within six months
after the law went into effect. That time
has now expired, and investigators in the
various districts report that the order has
been generally disobeyed. Not only that,
but in cases where, in defiance Of law.

The domestic problems involved reach
out until the question of commercial and
civic honesty is touched. John Lane. the
serviceable, effective, practical man. is. in
some respects the most convincing por-
trait in the book. And it is in the spec
tacle of his manned and thwarted life
that the real tragedy of the situation
lies. The story moves from west to east
and to the west again. until the effect is
established of a shifting panorama OF
human destiny.
Together is not a great novel. 1t is
often deficient in artistic balance and is
somewhat perfunctory in characterization.
The didactic purpose has proved, as is SO
often the case, the enemy Of dramatic
effect. But because of the sincerity OF
its purpose and the magnitude of the
problems-the reality of which no think
ing person can doubt-it demands serious
consideration.

Messrs Burke and Wright are devoting
themselves to the collection Of data on
the opium traffic in the United States and
in the Philippine Islands. and DR.. Tenney
Is studying the situation in China.
The earthquake in San Francisco helped
to solve the opium problem in the United
States, for it wiped out an area where
more opium was smoked than In any
other part Of the country. The Chinese
dens Of San Francisco numbered thou
sands Of smokers, Americans as we'll as
Mongolians, and it is said that in the
number of whites who went there were
many leading persons Of the town, who,
beginning perhaps merely as an expert
ment or as lark. had finally fallen VIC
Tins to one of the most insidious vices
that has ever enchanted mankind.
The earthquake wiped out these dens,
and 1t destroyed an immense quantity Of
the drug. Chicago, New York, Philadel-
phia. New Orleans and all the larger cit
les of the United States with any Chi
nese population have opium dens, but the
number Is decreasing, for renewed pre-
cautions by state. city and federal au-
thorities have made it increasingly diff
cult for them to operate.
But the biggest part Of the work. the
most valuable and the farthest reaching
Is that being done in China, for it strikes
at the very root Of all the trouble-lit-
orally at the root.
1t Is right out on the opium fields them
selves, where the poppy leaves grow, that
