THAT part of the plank declaring
that the republican party will uphold
the authority and integrity of the
courts is a gratuitous, indefensible and
covert insult, not only to the men or
labor. but to the courts themselves. 1t
implies that the integrity and legal
authority of the courts have been ques-
toned 1t was adopted to appease the
corporation magnates and corporation
lawyers, who demanded that the re-
publican convention adopt such a de-
claration.
Indeed, the convention disregarded
the martyred Lincolns warning that
You can fool some Of the people all
the time, all the people some of the
time, but you cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time
Labor contends that there is no law
authorizing or warranting the issuance
of these extraordinary injunctions
which are applied in labor disputes.
THE toilers demand that they be
regarded upon an equality before the
law with all other citizens.
Labor asked the republican conven-
ton for bread. and it gave a stone.

I'VE say this, not necessarily because
it is the democratic party which has
done this. We would urge the workers

BOARD MEMBER DEFENDS VETS.
Says That Whisky Consumed
Amounts to One Drink a Day.

Former State Senator G. II. Vandiver
Of Higginsville, Mo-, a member of the
Board of Managers of the Confederate
Soldiers Home at hat place, says that
the report that the 800 old veterans of
the home consume sixty gallons of
whiskey a month, is untrue.
What they do drink, and that in
cludes the whiskey used in the
hospital, is about three barrels annual
ly," he said. THAT would be about $50
gallons of whiskey and would mean
less than half gallon for each person.
That would lei probably n little
eye opener a day. When the junket-
ing committee came there one of the
members said we we're using too much
whiskey, but | told him he was mis-
taken. Those old fellows need a little
nip now and then to brace them up,
and the state can afford to give 1t to
them.
