EXPANSION AND LABOR.
(From the Ohio State Journal)


We don't think Mr.. Bryans frantic
fears OF what he calls imperialism
ought to alarm the intelligent working
man. Our expansion has been not only
an extension OF authority hut broad
eninC Of the doctrine OF labor. which
every workingman holds dear. To Illus
trate: When Judge Taft went 10 rule IN
the philippines he found man in prison
on a charge OF having melted the work
lnpmen to combine for III her wages.
and he promptly set him free. II Judge
TAFT had ben the sort OF mar described
by Mr. Leonard IN his Olentangy Labor
day speech he would have lot him stay
In Jail We remember similar case IN
Porto Rico that came within the writer's
own knowledge When the Americans
went to Porto Rico they found senior
Iglesias in prison for engaging In what
the Spanish law called conspiracy TO
raise the price OF labor. lGlesias was
promptly liberated. And not only that,
the insular Legislature, and republican
Legislature, TOO. enacted a labor law al
most Identical TO that In force In New
York This Is part of the gains OF eX-
mansion Wherever II has gone II has
elevated labor to contractual status and
protected It In uniting for the advance
ment OF It's own interest. These things
sneak loud than platform rhetoric or

And Yet his mind was stable;

Because he broke his cable.
