vigorously l yield to none in insis-
tence upon obedience to the law. Law
is necessary in human society, and
its enforcement is essential to peace
and order, but we must remedy abuses
by law if we would insure respect for,
and obedience to, law"
Mr.. Bryan contrasted the labor
plank of the platforms of the two
great parties He claimed the Re-
publican convention did not deal can
didly with the laboring men on the
subject of the writ of injunction Sec
retary Taft, he said, had endeavored
to amend his platform and to make
some promises, which offer nothing
substantial in the way of reform and
are not binding.
He denied that there was anything
ambiguous in the Democratic platform
as alleged by Mr.. Taft.
Speaking Of Industrial disputes,
the platform declares that injunctions
shall not be issued in any cases in
which injunctions would not issue if
no industrial dispute were involved.
How can that language be misconstru-
ed or misinterpreted? If words mean
anything, that plank means that an
Industrial dispute shall not, in itself,
be regarded as a sufficient cause for
an injunction. If an injunction is.
sues in an industrial dispute, it
must be based upon acts which would
justify an injunction if there were no
industrial dispute involved. There is
nothing ambiguous about it; there is
nothing that can be misconstrued or
misinterpreted, even by one desiring
to find double meaning
Proceeding in his reference to
labor's interest in the platforms OF
the two parties in the coming political
election, Mr.. Bryan said:
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier., 1908-09-08

ial session was mistake. 1t is moi
unfair to either side to say that the
majority of the legislators now so re-
gard it. That the outcome was not
foreseen is apparent. Many supposed
but. that the session would unite upon
program and adjourn within a week.
But instead, the legislature has been
in session a week, has accomplished
nothing in the way of legislation, has
increased the factional strife in the
republican party and has endangered
the chances of republican candidates in
close counties. And these are not con-
fined to either faction but to both.
On both sides legislators are being
telegraphed and written to remain
steadfast. But such advice from con-
stituents is of little value since about
as man advise each man to do one
thing as advise him to do the other.

unless overtures come from the pro-
gressives. The latter declare there
shall be no overtures, that they are
only asking the standpatters to be
loyal Republicans.
The actual proposition as made by
the governor will not alter the stand
pat plans according to present indica-
tions and statements Of standpat lead
ers. The latest move is a prospective
coalition between standpatters and
Democrats to force an adjournment OF
the session after the first ballot Is tax
en- at the joint convention Wednes-
day. This of course in case the ex-
pected deadlock materializes. The
standpatters will claim that this is the
way to save the taxpayers the expense
of useless prolonged season of fu-
tile balloting The Democrats think
it wise because they fear the stand
patters and progressives might pos
sibly get together if permitted to re-
main in the same city after couple
of days Of deadlocks.
DoIiver Plan Unconstitutional.
Attorney General Byers yesterday
submitted an exhaustive brief upon
the Dolliver- Smith plan of holding the
primary. He holds that the plan is
unconstitutional and gives many rea-
sons therefore. The opioion has been
expected for several days and the gov
ernori states that he was influenced in
thinking the plan unconstitutional be-
cause Of the opinion of the attorney
general on the proposition.

Afternoon Program.

Owing to urgent business demand
ing his personal attention in Des
Moines, Governor A. B. Cummins was
unable to come to Ottumwa to deliv-
er the principal address of the day.
This news reached the committee in
charge this morning in the shape Of
a telegram. In his own inimitable man.
ner Mayor 7. J. Phillips delivered the
address of welcome, which, though
brief, was sincere Chairman John w.
I<itto in his response, said:
81 assure you that words just utter
ed by our honorable MAYOR are ap-
preciated by all. My friends, on behalf
of the union men and women of OF
tumwa, welcome you to this celebra-
ton. During the year we have few
| HOLIDAYS. The first of April is held as
a holiday in several communities in
honor Of the eight hour day. Who
would arrange for the celebration of
that day but the men who helped to
brine it about and those who enjoy
it's advantages?
"Who would dare to infringe on the
rights and privileges Of the old sol
diers, the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie, in arranging for their Memorial
day?
THE Fourth of July is a holiday
that is celebrated by the entire union.
Thanksgiving day and Christmas are
also holidays that are observed by
the whole country in some form or
other.
Labor Day Held Sacred.
"But Labor day, the first Monday in
September, is held sacred by the
union men and women of this country
because it was through their efforts
that it was established and they alone
should have the honor of it's cele-
bration.
"Now, friends, I wish to say a few
words on just two topics before I in,
troduce the speaker. One is ingrati.
tude. Now ingratitaude is not confin,
ed to any particular class, profession
or condition. 1t is a universal fault OF

THE new SUMMER
STYLES FOR WOMEN
Tassels Are Very Much Used
This Season...Buttons Are
Numerous.

eff the new summer gowns have d
conspicuous note at all this year it is
in their trimmings. which seem to stand
out in bold relief" says Grace Mar
garet Gould in Woman's Home Com
panion for May. Much soutache ir
all widths and heavy cotton braid are
used, in white Inc dyed to match the
fabric. In the skirt and coat suits the
outline OF the coat is shown by the
line Of braiding, and either braid or
buttons not %infrequently trim the back.
"Tassels are very much used wher-
ever a place for them can be found.
The heavy and the fine laces are fash
ionable in combination for trimming
both gowns and separate blouses.
Very narrow satin plaitings are
nue. used as a trimming for silk wolfe
and net gowns. They are often intro
duced in some brilliant shade, such as
empire green, on a gown of neutral
tint. Plaitings OF this style frequent
ly simulate a bib effect on the bodice
and outline a tunic effect in the skirt.
Buttons are used not only where
they are needed, but where they are not
needed on the new gowns. For the tail
ored suits there are the fabric-covered
buttons and the braid buttons.
THE white and colored cotton cro-
che button is extremely high style.
and for lingerie waists there are the
new pearl bead buttons"

But to do his they must be born right.
