A CHARGE OF FRAUD.
Suit Filed !n Connection
with Allotment Of Canal Bonds.

heels of Senator Tillman's speech in
the Senate concerning Secretary Cor
telyou's financial methods, George
w. Austin, OF New York, to-day filed
q suit in the District Supreme Court
against the Secretary, asking that
he be restrained from making allot-
ments Of the recent Panama canal
bond issue. The bill filed states that
the United States will lose between
seven hundred thousand and mil
lion dollars If the bonds are allotted
and contends that bids for seven
million dollars worth Of bonds, sub
mittcd by Smith and another New
Yorker, were higher than major
ity Of the bids accepted by the sec
retary, and that thereby the United
States Is defrauded.

:" The New South"

Detroit, Mich, Dec. I9.-Locke
Craig, of Asheville, N. c., was the
principal speaker tonight at the an
nual banquet of the New England
Society of Detroit, held in the Hotel
Pontchartrain. Mr.. Craig, in his adj
dress, told Of the changes the New
South presents as compared with the
South of before the war" "The
South he said, "is c-ming to re-
alization OF her vast possibilities.
Agriculture is not her only Industry,
as in former years. She Is Nmanufac-

South Is now part, and a great
part, of the mighty Industrial organi-
zation Of this country. We are loyal

America Alone Has Humming Birds.
(Outing MagaZine.)

Though the art museums of Eu-
rope may have some treasures Of
which America cannot boast, our
continent has the distinction of a
monopoly Of the worlds supply Of
humming birds, the gems of all the
feathered creation. OF these there
are said to be some 400 species
the 400 we may well call them
nearly all of which are peculiar to
the tropical regions. Only eighteen
cross the borders OF the United
States from Mexico, and occur only
in our southwestern States.
The popular idea Is that the hum
mer lives only on honey, gathered
from flowers. This Is a mistake. The
bird does secure some honey, but
Its food consists mainly Of the small
insects which frequent the flowers.
Some of these insects are injurious
to the blossom, and the tiny bird
fulfiils a useful function in Destroy
ing them. That the hummer is in
sectivorous is also shown by it's
habit of catching tiny insects on the
wing, which is occasionally observed.
1t fills the arteries with rich, red
blood, makes new flesh, and healthy
men, women and children. Nothing
can take its place; no remedy has

What's the Use?
(Newbcrry Observer.)

We confess that we can see no
good to come to the country or to
the Democratic party from Senator
Tillman's TRADE against the Presi-
dent and the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury. for their issuing certificates of
Indebtedness to relieve the money
stringency. Their purpose was un-
qustionably good--to save deposit
ors from losing by runs on the banks,
to put more money in circulation for
purposes Of trade and to restore pub
lie confidence. In such circumstances
one could readily excuse them for
overstepping the strict letter of the
law little, IL they di d that--which
they deny, affirming that they acted
on able legal advice.

SlOOO Reward.

now again offer $l,OoOOO fin cash for evidence of a single case fin the past i've years in labor disputes where court tnjunctions to protect persons and property have been opposed to the public good. No person can produce one. Why therefore, should the Labor Trust leaders so strenuousIy dena nd that the courts be stripped of the right to issue injunctions to protect people and property?
 These leaders want to be free to or der the sluggers to proceed with their work and their dynamiters to blow in homes or property before the courts can intervene to protect. That's exactly what is meant by the proposal to pre. vent any court from issuing a restrain ing order without five to seven days notice. That would give time to the intending criminals to do their work and. get into hiding before the court can protect those whom the sluggcrs intend to harm. The independent workingman's home could thus be blown up and he taught the danger of dtsoredience of orders" of the Labor Trust.
 It's pitiable condition, that of Worklngmen, both union and non-un foo. when they dare disobey any Iahor Trust managers order however impu dent or tyrannous.
 Shall we nourish the further growth or such power centered in the hands of few misnamed Labor leaders" now seeking to tell Union men that they must vote for the party pledged to enact any law these trust Ieadere ask looking to more power. if thsy Will deliver the labor voter"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-10-20

Now what Is an injunction?" some one asks. When it becomes known that the trust leaders plan to have their sluggers waylay other workmen and assault them, or picket and spit on and insult or attack American citi- zens going to or coming from work, CT plan to destroy some machinery, blow up a factory. mine or workman;s home or do any other act of violence or crime, the courts established by the people and for their protection can is- sue restraining order Or 'injunc- lion" ordering these men not to do the acts they intend. until the. court can nave time to enquire into the rights in the case. 5.,
 Every man with ais mind set on re- Venge or violence and every single in- mate of every penitentiary in this coun- try hates court injunction like a mad dog hates water.
 What does the man who fears an in- Junction have in hIssmind?
 Do you believe he is seeking peace?
 No citizen who was at home or on the street on a peaceful, lawful mission has ever been troobled by a court or der to prevent men from attacking property or persons. 1t has been conn mon for Labor .saders CD and a fow politicians to say that courts have
 aouseo Inc right to issue injunc- lions in labor cases. After a careful search Of the records Hon. Charles E, nttleheld made open request of Pres ioent roosevelt to cite one single in- Junction wherein peace intending cfti- zens had been harmed and our estfnn- able President was put in the em- barrassing position of having stated that abuses had arisen" because som, interested persons had told him. but on demand for the cases, they could not be produced.

 However in some ofiices less wis., dom was shown and the papers refused to print the discussion.
 In one article I invited readers to scan the pages of various papers of that date and if the announcement failed to appear, write and ask the publisher Awhy."
 His only good excuse would be mo contract with Post" But when he got snndry other reasons, 1t became plain to the enquirer that 1t was left out through pitiabie fear.
 The discovery by readers that a savorite newspaper Saared to print matter written for and in the interest ot the thirty-nine c'tizens out of every forty, eAnly one union man in every forty cifizens) produced disgust and distrust hard to overcome. When the rights of the common peopl cannot be defended in the newspapers because of fear of some organization, either of capital or labor, the enslavement of cit- izens has reached a dangerous point ana papers WnlCu rOLu9S NO BN1uu 1oE the rights and freedom of the great reading and thinking public, should be known and rebuked by the public they ought to serve.

It has been a .-uggies to get before the people the dangerous facts, the hidden underground facts, relating to the plans for control of the liberties and affairs of the huge Labor Trust known as the American Federation of Labor.
 These managers are seeking power even superior to that of the President of the United States.
 Nonsense" someone says. Well. let's have a look.
 When first st.. publishing these articles discussing labor matters, near ly the entire list of papers published them, but there were a few afraid to print them altho offered full pay.
 Afraid the labor leaders would boy colt them. afraid the unions in their own printing department would strike and afraid on general principles.

Honest Union Men Helpless.

Let an honest union man raise his voice in protest at a union meeting and the "men of violent Tendencies" cry him down with shouts to throw da. guy out de window" cnd If he don't shut up he may expect to be violently and effectively shut up. Some day let us hope that >rganiZed labor will get rid of the present leaders and conduct the sale of It's product (labor) in tho peaceful legal manner of business men who sell the ordinary products of hu- manity, and when they cannot sell their labor at a satisfactory price to one man, do as the farmer does who offers his wheat to another buyer and either sells it at the ]. snest price the mar ket will warrant or keeps 1t for high CT market, but does not picket the mill, assault other farmers who prefer to sell their wheat, or blow up the mill whose owner cannot at that time buy at the price asked.
 The man who has saved money with which to archase wheat or labor should not be maimed murdered or hts property destroyed because he does not feel like parting with that money to buy whect or laHOr when he either does not want it or knows the price to be too high to warrant it's purchase. Any attempt at coercion should be promptly and effectually punished by the courts and the bullies put where they cannot tyrannize over independent Americans.
 This rapid growth of anarchy and evident purpose of the Labor Trust to dictate just what persons shall be em- ployed, how long and at what price and how much pay to the managers has taught every man who has saved dollar and wants to build a house or establish a factory, that he had better keep his money in some safe invest ment, instead of going into something where he would actullly forced to buy labor when not needed and to em- ploy men he don't want.
 In other words, the man who has a little money to invest don't propose to have any trust, even the Labor Trust. tell him how or where to pay 1t out. This widespread attack of the Labo4 Trust on citizens who would have money to invest in labor if allowed to invest peaceably. has been one of the strongest elements which brought on the panicc
 Men who have money to build, don't like to be harassed to death by con tlnued impudent interference. and ex- pensive delays by labor union tapgles. therefore hundreds of them don't build So with proposed new factories and other enterprises.
 Between the loud mouthed political damagogues and the Labor Trust lead CTS, the steady attacks on industries dried them up and the panic came bringing idleness and misery to thous- ands.
 The demand by the Labor Trust leaders for an alti-injunction law, is quite in keeping with the purposes of the tyrannous leaders. careful in- vestigation of the records of all Federal courts for the past years dlscIoses the fact that only 20 injunctions have been issued in labor disputes and in not one of these cases has the superior court reversed or failed to approve. No other subject handled by our courts has been as free from mistake. Hu- manity is prone to weakness and er- TOT, and our courts are human. but for
