THEATRICAL.
"a MESSENGER BOY. 3"

Manager portland. of the Paris
Grand, offers for the attraction Thurs
day, Feb. Is. Mr.. George ID. Sweet,
and his big company of popular favor
ties in the celebrated comedy drama,
"a Messenger Boy" with Beatrice
Terry in the leading role of Roxy, a
typical type of the New York street
waif of the day, whose wit and uncon-
scious comedy, indomitable courage
and natural independence pleases and
serves to furnish a realistic character
in a play full of human interest, varied
with thrilling sensations and embellish-
ed with music and high class special
ties. AS portrayer of the humorous
side of life, Mr.. Sweet has few equals
in "a Messenger Boy" He gives US
a set of.characters so entll ell d fie' eel
from those usually seen In comedies
and mas conceived situations that are
so excruciatingly funny, that although
the play has a strong plot and Is billed
as a comedy drama, it contains more
genuine comedy and ELECTS more hearty
daughters that the funniest OF farce
comedies.
In speaking of the attraction the
Sioux Falls, Iowa, Daily Press says
George Sweets play, "A Messenger
Boy presented at the Elks' theatre,
last evening, pleased a fair audience,
all the performers being of a very
clever brand. In fact, the play deserv-
ed a much better house than greeted
them.
without a doubt the band and or
chestra carried by Sweet is the best
heard here this season, barring none,
and the orchestra's rendition of Poet
and Peasant, and the descriptive
piece, "A Day at the Circus" won
we'll merited applause from the audi
ence.
"Should Manager Sweet return next
season with as excellent a company
and musicians he can be assured of a
better house and a hearty welcome. "

OHIO FOR BRYAN,

MANY people express surprise when
the statement is made that Taft will
fail to carry his own state this year,
but it is my confident opinion that
Ohio will give it's electoral vote to
Bryan and Kern. This statement
came from Ed. :Mahon, a prominent
business man in Columbus, Ohio, who
called at Democratic headquarters to
arrange for the distribution of litera-
ture in the Ohio contest. 1--WE want
all the literature we can aget," said
Mr.. Mahon, for the people. are in a
very receptive mood this year. 1t is
surprising to Democrats to find so
many Republicans in Mr.zsTaft,s. own
state who are for Bryan and Kern. I
never knew the Democratic party to
be in as good shape as it is in Ohio
today. We are not only going to elect
a Democratic governor, but we are go
ing to beat Mr.. Taft right in his own
bailiwick''

PEOPLE FOOLED NO LONGER,

Not long ago Mr.: Dalzell, who writes
the tariff. tax, recently as directed by
the men who, put up. the money to pay
the expenses Of SRepublican; campaigns,
told us:
I'VE do not read our tariff lessons
out of books. We read them by the
blazing light OF. open furnace doors,
amid the noise Of industrial activities.
and in the sweat of. our brows that we
coin into wealth, and God help the
man or party: that would put out these
fires, still the music of that noise, and
send the 1workmen home to foodless
and hungry household;
1t was under Republican rule that
this music was stilled, that the fires
We're put out, and that soup houses
had to provide for the foodless and
hungry.
No longer can any Republican ever
fool the people by claiming that a
Republican tariff has always been fol-
lowed by business prosperity
The time has come-the hour has
struck-for "a change. Thousands OF
Republicans take their positions and
will vote for Bryan in November.

TARIFF. REVISION,

1t is an old-tine Republican cry that
"the tariff will be revised by its
friends" Representative Mccall of
Massachusetts,, a Republican, hit the
nail on the head WHEN in referring to
this cry he said: IF the tariff cannot
be revised when two-thirds of the
membership Of both houses is Repub-
lican, when is revision to Gomez"
Revision, through the Republican
party, is to come whenever the bene-
f1ciaries of a high protective tariff are
willing to surrender the enormous ad-
vantages they possess; and this sur
render will be made whenever human
selhshness is destroyed.

ABUSE OF INJUNCTION.

The following excerpts from an edi-
torial in the Duluth Daily Star are
very suggestive at this time:
Labor unions are in politics this
year fo- the first time. Why? Has
labor any new grievances, arisen
since the last presidential election:
These are momentous questions.
If labor is right it will be a great
calamity to the nation if the govern
ment goes wrong. For. right demands
will finally win. To divide this coun-
try into a labor party seeking justice
and an anti-labor party espousing
plutocratic triumph will arouse bit
with peril to America for generations.
The chief labor issue concerns gov
ernment by injunction. The Demo-
cratic platform is what the labor
leaders asked and what the Repub-
Ican convention rejected. Bryan is
heartily In sympathy with his plat
form and Taft just as strongly with
his.
The Republican convention, while
it seems to declare for change in
the direction of having the defendants
notified before being enjoined does
not really do so.
So. in spite of anything which can
d1dates may say, the issue is Shall
this injunction be changed from what
it is now?"
The Republicans stand pat on the
present law and practice. The Demo-
Gratis take the labor side and demand
changes.
The greatest industrial nation in
the world is Great Britain. From her
we get our language and our injunc-
ton law. Those who oppose the de-
mands of labor this fall take the posi-
ton that the labor demands constitute
an attack on the courts in an import
ant power which they have possessed
from time immemorial. This truth Is,
however, that in Industrial Great
Britain, whence our injunction law
comes, they handle their labor dis
putes without any injunctions, either
with or without. notice, so far as
sympathetic strikes, ~boycotts and
picketing are concerned.

no weakening Of courts.

THE NATIONAL ISSUE

The main national issue before the
American people in this campaign is:
shall there be an end to trust-con-
trolled legislation.
It is around this issue that the
Democratic arguments are centered,
and from which the Republican lead
ers are attempting to escape.
For example, President Roosevelt in
his letter to MIR. Bryan points to the
Taft policies as the issues in the
campaign, whereas the policies of the
Republican organization are stated in
the Republican platform and in the
record Of the present congress-. The
president tries to conceal this by
claiming that the Taft policies are the
issues.
And when President Roosevelt re.
piled to a letter by the chairman ~o1
the Republican congressional commit
tee soliciting a testimonial he said:
Il have received your letter of Aug
2sth. I agree with all that you say
as to the amount Of affirmative an;
constructive legislation for the socta
and economical benefit Of our peopl,
which has been accomplished by tn
congress during the last seven years.

GOV. JoHNsoN,s PROSPECTS,

A Minneapolis man, who recently
visited Duluth, and is in close touch
with political conditions throughout
the state, speaking of Governor John
sons prospects in November said:
Despite the fact that this is presi-
Dental year, the governors reelection
is generally conceded
"Of course Republican party lead
ers, and red-hot Republican news
papers, will not admit this to be a
fact, for it would not be good policy
for them to do so; but they know,
just as we'll as I knew, that the gov
ernor will be reelected in November.
mo governor in the history of Min
nesota ever attained the phenominal
popularity of Mr.. johnson, and this
popularity today is as great as it
ever was.
HE probably has a larger personal
following than any governor in the
United States.
mo official act of his stands open
to criticism on the part Of the oppo-
sition, and the Republicans are there
fore suffering from a sad dearth OF
campaign arguments.
Il have met, and talked with I'M
prejudiced people from all parts OF
I the state during the last two or
three weeks, and scarcely any OF
them express any doubt that John
son will be reelected. Even with
the fact Of its being presidential year

LABOR VERSUS PRIVILEGE;
OR BRYAN VERSUS TAFT

Abraham Lincoln summed up in
nhimself and typified the various
American virtues. He was in himself
all that America was meant to be to the
world; and America will realize this
only as Americans understand the
great democratic heart of Lincoln,
and as they adopt towards each other,
towards the world, and towards our
perplexed affairs, the attitude Of Lin
coin.
In his first annual message to con-
gress he said: Labor is prior to, and
Independent of, capital. Capital is
fQnly the fruit Of labor, and could
ElDver have existed if labor had not
FIRST existed Labor is the superior
lof capital, and deserves much the
higher consideration. Capital has it's
nights, which are worthy Of protec-
ltion, as any other rights. Nor is it
denied that there is, and probably al
ways will be, relation between labor
and capital producing mutual bene-
fits. The error is in assuming that
the whole labor Of the community
exists within that relation"
E This, says Henry George, Jr., may
f'be commended to the thoughtful con-
sideration of those who, failing to
distinguish between capital, the fruit
Of labor" and privilege, the essence
of monopoly, speak Of labor as being
crushed by capital"; and who see no
salvation except through the com
munity's taking control Of all the
tools Of production
The facts to be perceived from Lin
coins words are that it is not capital,
the fruit Of labor, but privilege, the
robber Of labor, that does the crush
ing; that these two very different
things are confused because they are
so generally in the same hands; and
that the remedy lies not in common
ownership and operation of the "tools
of production" but in the abolition
of privileges that exist only because
Of government grants or sanction
and which in effect as truly shackle
labor today as did the iron manacles
Lincoln died in striking off the black
man standing in the slave market.
This clearaly points out the differ
ence between the policy for which
= Bryan stands and that represented by
Taft. Bryan stands for labor and fol
honest capital, the fruit of labor; Taft
stands for privilege, the robber OF
labor and Of it's fruit.
