Whom He Went in a
Search for Work.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. July 27.-Matt
Wagner, sixteen years old, returned
yesterday from Texas, where he served
part Of q term OF three months for
stealing a ride on a freight train, and
tells Of the manner in which, he says,
John Kulik, his chum, was beaten to
death in a Texas prison.
Half an hour after one beating, says
Wagner. HULK dropped dead. He says
a third Milwaukee boy. negro named
Williams. is still IN the prison, and
will die unless saved.
The boys started for California when
unable 70 get work here because Of a
strike. They were taken off a train IN
Texas, and, after being beaten like
slaves, were set TO work.
HULK was unable, Wagner says TO
stand the work, and was forced to work
when dying. Finally he was given a
last beating and forced 10 work IN the
blacksmith shop until he dropped dead.
Then he was buried in the jail yard in
a shallow trench. with not even a pine
box for coffin.

sister for thirty-five years and not see
her or even know Of her existence. was
the singular misfortune OF Mrs. Martin
Hoke, of near Hanover, and Mrs. Ada
Roth, of Biglerville. Adams county.
The discovery OF their relationship
was made by accident. An aunt of the
two sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Gettler. OF
Taneytown. Md. happened TO meet Mrs.
Roth visiting in Bigerville, and, during
the. conversation, the possibility Of their
relationship was revealed and sCbse-
quently fully established by correspond
ence. This led 20 the meeting of the
two sisters, Mrs. Gettler having notified
Mrs. Eoke Of her newly discovered rel
alive.
The parents Of two sisters died when
they were small children, and each
child was taken TO raise by different
persons at different times and although
the two sisters lived as near together
as ten miles, neither knew Of the others
existence.

TAFT IN A NEW ROLE

Never in the history of the United
States has such spectacle been
seen as that being furnished the
laboring men of this nation by Will
liam H. Taft in his campaign as the
Presidents heir apparent to the
Presidency. Mr.. Taft's very recent
discovery that the injunctions he is
sued when he was q Federal judge
furnish the legal basis for the exist
ence of labor unions far exceeds the
humility OF an Uriah Heep and the
obsequiousness of a Pecksniff COM
bined.
1t was not known by Mr.. Taft nor
by Phelan nor by the railway corpora
tions at the time he issued his cele-
brated injunctions, that he was lay
ing a foundation for labor unions, nor
did he have any such intention. This
is a most recent discovery. In fact 1t
is an evolution of the campaign, be
cause 1t cannot be found in any OF
the many speeches Mr.. Taft made
prior to the convention which nomi-
mated him for President at the dicta-
tion of Roosevelt.
In a speech at Cleveland Mr.. Taft
boasted that he is member OF a
union. He referred to his being an
honorary member of the Steam Shoy.
elers' Union, an organization Of Pan
anna Canal employees THAT is NOT
AFFILIATED WITH THE AMERI
CAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. Mr.
Tafrs credentials. as member Of a
labor union, therefore. rest upon as
fiimsy q pretense as his campaign dis
eoyeHy that he was handing out in.
functions from the federal bench for
the benefit of labor organizations.
After having suffered ss they nave
suffered during the past year from the
Roosevelt panic, which the President
would willingly hand down as an In
! heritance 10 his heir apparent; after
their knowledge and conviction of 1t
years, as to the real character OF Mr.
TRft's injuncttons which even Mr. Taft
aid not attempt to disturb until since
he became candidate for President;
after the position taken by such labor
leaders as Samuel Gompers. John
Mitchell and others who are not seek
ing political favor; after the disclo

disorganized by injunctions, have be
fore them of the results OF Repub-
liean rule. as exemplifled by ~the
Roosevelt dynasty, the laboring man
who can vote for Mr.. Taft for Presi.
dent until Roosevelt can return tc
power in person, will deserve more
pity than sympathy now and here
after.
Mr.. Gompers said in an editorial
and has since repeated in his
speeches to laboring men, DON'T
WABBLE. HIT THE MARK"
Mr.. Taft by such speeches as he Is
making today is trying to make the
laboring men wabble SO that they will
miss the mark.
In the voting booth election day is
when the laboring man will need 9
clear head and steady arm to marh
his ballot for a real friend of labor,
William Jennings Bryan, if he really
believes Labor Omnia Vincit."

FALSE REPORT.

Editor Morning News:-A report is
being circulated by certain interests
that Hon. Charles Krichbaum, Demo
cratic candidate for prosecuting attor-
ney OF Stark county, at reunion Of
the residents of Pike township. held
about one month ago. stated that he
was in favor of abolishing all the
saloons In Ohio and in a general way
attacked the liberal interests Of the
state Of Ohio The undersigned was
present at this meeting, and he heard
every word spoken by Mr. Krichbaum.
wish to state that Mr.. Krichbaum In
no manner whatever even referred to
the liquor problem and II is an in
justice to that gentleman to have
these false reports circulated. Mr..
Krichbaum was born in Pike township
and the people Of this section are
proud Of him and will attest this fact
by giving him a majority Of the yotec
cast on election day. Justice"

TAFT's TARIFF EuMsLEs.

When Mr.. Taft was talking in the
pottery regions he was very strong
on tariff revision with an upward ten.
dency, especially for pottery. Re
ports have 1t that both the pottery
manufacturers and their employees
were pleaseds with this bait for votes.
But suppose Mr., Taft would make
the same kind Of promises where
there are shoe factories; or steel
mills or woolen factories; or cottoI
mills; or any of the other infant
industries which are. suffering under
the high Dingley tariff rates as much
as potteries are suffering under the
low rates. what would voters in sucI
localities have to say?
Mr.. Taft's tariff tumbling is like
all the rest of his campaign perform
ance. It is one thing In one part o.
country and something else in an
other; a studied and stupid attemp
to be all things to all men, while
actually being the candidate OF onl!
one man for President.
