the south improving the condition of
labor there.
He showed how many of the owners
of cotton mills were moving them form
the New England states, where labor
is paid good wages and where the la
borer is protected, to the south where
labor is cheaper and where the law
does not compel them to safeguard the
health of their employees.
BY the time Mr.. Crumpacker was
through with Mr.. Gompers he showed
him up in his true light. Not as the
great friend of labor, the impartial
head of the American Federation of
Labor. one of the greatest organiza-
tion of its kind in the world, but as a
partisan democrat who did not recog-
nize anything that the republican
party has done for labor.
Even John Sharp Williams. the
leader of the democratic minority in
the house. admitted that in the land
where, according to Mr.. Bryan, THE
PEOPLE RULE labor conditions were
worse than in other parts of the
country.
Has Dangerous RadicaIism.,
Mr.. Bryan's dangerous radicalism'
was shown when he declared that the
paramount issue of the cmpaign is the
guarantee of bank deposits 1t did not
take Mr.. Crumpacker long to explode
that theory.
If Bryan had his way the people of
Hammond and Crown Point. who had
put their savings in the local banks,
would have to make good the losses
which ha foil nf 20
Heinze and other banks in New York
caused by ruinous speculation.
If the deposits in banks were guar
anteed by the government it would not
make any difference what kind OF
bankers were running the financial in
situations of the country.
A crook, who could get a little mon
ey together. would be just as capable
of starting a bank the man who
had built up a reputation for integ-
rity through scores Of years of right
living and square dealing.
The peoples money would be safe
in the crooks bank, but the people
who had placed their savings in the
bank run by the honest banker would
have to pay for the crooks defalca-
tions. Such a condition of affairs
would demoralize the whole banking
system of the country
Shows Up FaIlscies.
Then Mr.. Crumpacker went about
the pleasant task of showing up some
of the fallacies of the Peerless Leader.
He told about Mr.. Bryan's ownership
dream and how he awoke to find it inn
practical and now he, with the repub-
licans, is now willing to regulate in
stead of own the railroads.
Mr. Crumpacker ended his address
with an appeal to the voters to elect
William H. Kliver and Edward Mickey
to congress, so that there would be no
danger that United States Senator
Hemenway would be returned to the
senate.

YOUTHFUL EXPERIENCES.

Mr.. Z. Dodson, of Dagupan, who was
recently discharged from the hospital
after undergoing successful operation
for appendicitis, was relating few
stories the other evening to group OF
friends between the acts at the Or.
pheum.
When a youngster back in Indiana
he said that he was required to go
out every morning in the woods and
shoot two squirrels for breakfast, for
which his father each day would give
him two bullets, two caps and sufficient
powder for two shots, and he was ex-
pected to bring back two squirrels
without fail, which he did. 1t some.
times happened, however, that company
would drop in for breakfast, in which
event, his father would give him ex-
actly the same amount of ammunition
as upon other days, but would instruct
him to bring in three squirrels with
the same ammunition instead of two
and he always accomplished this feat.
When asked how he managed it, he
said that he drove the squirrels until
he had two in line and then brought
both down with one shot.
Upon another occasion, later in life,
Mr. Dodson was out in the mountains
of Colorado with a widow and her
daughter gathering blackberries, which
were abundant in that section. In his
quest for the fruit, he started down a
path and became separated from his
fair companions. Suddenly looking up,
having heard sound, he spied big
grizzly bear about twenty feet distant
and making towards him. Mr.. bod
son said that he was not at all fright
ened He casually retraced his steps,
but somehow forgot all about his com
panions and although he did not hurry
at all yet he overlook jack rabbit
which was going at full speed up a trail
ahead of him and which he kicked out
of the path, as he was in his way. He
finally admitted that he went so fast
he did not seem to touch the ground
but imagined himself in an airship.-
