ROUGH ON THE DOCTOR.

The other evening, as Doctor Her
man was driving on the Luneta, he
saw chap, little the worse for HQ-
uor, amusing a crowd of spectators
with the antics Of his trick dog. The
doctor watched him awhile and said:
Sandy, how do YOU manage to train
your dog2 I can teach mine to do
anything -
Sandy, with that simple look in his
eyes, said, Wen, you see, Doe, you
have to know more n the dog or you
can I learn him nothing. =

THE BULLYING SPIRIT.

Every state in this union has law
prohibiting the carrying, Of arms.
This is based on the theory that men
who go unarmed will avoid trouble
which they might not seek to avoid il
they go armed. Now, is it not a little
strange that as to individuals we en-
act laws upon the theory that a man
when unarmed will avoid trouble, but
contend that the way for a nation to
avoid trouble is to go with the big
gest armament in the world?
To go ahead attending to our own
business, doing justice to and expect
Ing nothing but justice Of all other
nations on the earth; it seems does
not fill the requirements Of our twen-
t1eth century civilization. The bully
ing spirit must be considered as the
bulwark Of our liberties.

in armament must Sc kept up even ii

THAT INJUNCTION PLANK.

A strong effort was made by the
friends of organized labor to have a
plank against the abuse Of Injunction
put into the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago, but the effort was
Of no avail.
The movement was vigorously
fought by the hirelings Of the Manu-
facturers' association and by a num-
Der Of prominent Republicans headed
by Uncle Joe'' Cannon, who is an
avowed opponent of organized labor.
The enemies Of organized labor had
a majority III the convention, and tho
wage earners got no recognition IN
the platform beyond a few hypocritf-
cal "whereases," designed to catch
their votes at the November election.
All that labor asked at the hands Of
the Republican convention, was an
authoritative deliverance inserted In
the platform directed against the
!. abuse of injunctions. Labor wanted

citation, because they understand it to
mean that the power usurped by the
courts is to be upheld by the Re-,
publican party, in the event of its
being successful at the polls in No

We think their understanding Of the
plank is correct. Organized labor,
too, understands. it the same way, and
it's more than two million membership
will govern themselves accordingly.

THE OLDEST CRIME

One Of the oldest crimes known to
English speaking people is to create a.
monopoly or to forestall or to prevent
competition.
Before Columbus discovered Amer;-
ca it was crime in England to raise
the price of bread, or to corner the
wool CROP or to charge an excess price
for food, drink or lodging. For the
first offense the culprit would have
his ears cut off; for the second offense
he would be summarily executed and
his property confiscated.
Just think of Wall street gamblers,
and other manipulators and exploiters
that could be named, perambulating
the streets of New York and wash
1ngton with their ears cut off. What
an army of muley financiers we would
have if the old law were in force to-
day!

TRUST BREEDER,

Everybody who chooses to under
stand does understand that one Of tfa
prime purposes of imposing tariff
duty, when that tariff duty is unnec-
essary and is wholly for what is
called protection" is primarily to
facilitate the formation of combina-
tions and the perfecttng Of monopoly.
No man can pretend to say there
is ground for denial that the duty up
on wood pulp and print paper, has
contributed to the formation Of one
Of the most extQrtionate trusts that
ever cursed this nation-the paper
trust.
To have given theS people relief
against this iniquitous robher was the
bounden duty Of the last Republican
congress. What did that congress do
Simply wasted its time in an attempt
to delude the people with the pretense
Of doing something, when the actual
intent was to do nothing that would
give offense to the TRUSTS
For the practical legislation for
which the country pleads, the people
are given the whereases and long,
winded resolutions of the Chicago
convention.
It is possible such contrivances may
again succeed in deluding the people,
but we don't believe it..

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

We have just as good a right to
make capital out of condolences as
the Republican platform has.
This weeks issue Of the Labor
World, and the anniversary Of our
nations glorious independence, come
into being with the dawn of the same
day. So
This fact is proof conclusive of our
loyalty and patriotism if the reason
ing of the aforesaid platform is
sound.
But, on this day that commentaries
the ushering in upon an entire CONT
nent, in bountiful measure, the bless
ings Of liberty knowledge and refine
ment, we can all, both Democrats and
Republicans, happy in the contempla-
ton Of our national strength and ma
tional independence, unite in heart
and sympathy, in giving expression to
our love and reverence for the coun-
try and institutions under which we
were born.
As was we'll said by a great mind,
liberty will have no half service; it
is word to conjure with, not to vex
the ear in empty boastings." Liberty
means justice, and justice is the nat
ural law-the law of health and SYM
metry. 1t is that which enables man
to avail himself of the opportunities
and means of life. "Give me Liberty
or give me Death exclaimed Patrick
Henry in an agony of despair to ba

TRIAL By JURY,

The Declaration of Independence
gives as one of the causes for the
separation from the mother country
the "depriving us in many cases cf
the benefit of trial by jury
The right Of trial by jury has al
ways been recognized as lone Of the
pillars in the structure of human lib
erty."
Any system of JURISPRUDENCE that
can deprive citizen Of his liberty or
property without the facts in the case
having first been determined by a jury
OF his peers, is a revival of medieval
barbarism
Two serious problems confront this
nation today. Before them all other
questions sink into insignificance
They are; First, allowing a supreme
court of nine men, often by a meager
majority Of one, to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of a law solemnly en-
acted by the two houses Of congress.
In no civilized country in the world
is such a power exercised by courts
Of last resort. It is not conferred upon
our supreme court by the national
constitution, and is power which the
court arrogated to itself without any
authority whatsoever, except its own.
Second, government by injunction.
If the liberties of the American
people are to be maintained; if we are
to prepetuate government Of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the people:
1t we would prevent a moneyed dig
archy from usurping the rights of the
republic, the power to issue and en-
force injunctions in labor disputes
must be taken from the courts. Per,
sons must be punished for the crime.
