Pierce County Boys Take Trip
Through Texas.

Joseph ]. Foster and Hugh Nor
row of River Falls and Peter Isaac
son and William Kurchinsky of Els
worth arrived on the morning train
Tuesday from st. Paul after their
trip to the Texas Gulf Coast country.
| They had all the ear-marks of well
satisfied party and from the reports
that they bring, their trip must have
been very pleasant one. To say
| that they were enthusiastic about
Texas is putting it mildly. AS an
evidence of their belief in the
country and its great future, they
have decided to purchase two sec
tons of land in Jackson county and
it is their intention to put large
number of these acres under cult
walton in very short time.
Mr.. Morrow had the following to
say regarding their trip: I'VE left
Wisconsin two weeks ago Tuesday
for the purpose of looking over the
Texas Gulf Coast country. We had
heard so many claims made for this
section that we were rather doubtful
as to whether conditions there were
really as good as we were led to be-
lieve. Today however we feel that
nobody can do the Texas Gulf
country justice in the way of either
its products or it's great future as
an agricultural section.
We planned quite an elaborate
trip, intending to see all the points
of interest in the south, together
with a bull fight in Old Mexico. We
were unfortunate however in making
train connections at San Antonio
and therefore missed the bull fight
at Loredo, Old Mexico. We saw SO
much of interest however in the way
of fine lands and historic sights
throughout the state that we felt
that we were more than compensated
for our trouble. We had few hours
stop-over in Kansas City during the
evening but as our train was late,we
had not much chance to take in the
sights.
We arrived at Houston Friday
morning and had we not remem
bered the storm we encountered on
leaving Minneapolis we would have
thought we were in a progressive
town Of the North on a June morn
ing so fine was the weather. We
left our overcoats at the hotel and
went around to see the town. While
there we met the Perkins boys,
brothers of DR.. Perkins of Ellsworth,
who had a thriving practice at den
tistry at Houston. Through their
courtesy we took in the town quite
thoroughly and were all much i'm
pressed with the evidences of pros
perity on every hand. Several new
eight to ten story buildings have
been constructed there within the
last few years and the town is ex
periencing rapid and substantial
growth which is accounted for by
the successful settlement of the
agricultural sections close by.
We left Houston Friday evening
and took the Southern Pacific train
to lnez which is a small town a few

The Unemployed.

Although thousands of people
who were thrown out of employment
by the so-called financial furry"
of few months ago have again
been given employment, there are
thousands of others who are still
idle because they cannot get work.
All of the larger cities are now fac
ing the perplexing problem of how
to provide for the absolute needs of
armies of the unemployed who are
willing to labor if they can get work
to do.
The mayor of Toledo boldly met
this exigency by which he was con-
fronted by insisting upon immediate
action for the early completion of
the city's boulevard system, work
which was to have been delayed for
an indefinite period on account of
the heavy expense involved. The
mayor carried his point, and To-
ledo's unemployed were thus given
an opportunity to earn a livelihood.
But the relief given in Toledo does
not help the unemployed in New
York, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee,
and other large cities.
The experience of thousands of the
unemployed in cities, when en-
phasized by long professions of peo-
pie demanding that they be furnished
work, should have the effect of
deterring others from flocking to
the cities for employment. Of
course life in the country" is tame
compared with the more varied fas-
cinations incident 30 city lie, but in
time of financial, commercial, and
industrial depression, the fellow
who can be content with "out of
town employment" has by far the
largest end of the stick" and a
pretty sure thing on something to
eat without placing himself in the
free soup line" in order to obtain
it. Country lads who are prone to
envy the city chaps should study the
unemployed" problem, and hest
tate to leave a reasonably sure
thing in the country for the uncer-
tainties which await them in the
crowded streets of large city.

 Heart.
MURDERER JUST GROWN

Columbus, Ga, October 10.-(Special)- Not far from the gate of the cemetery in Girard, this afternoon c. H. Newman was shot to death by Frank Herriman. a young man just grown. The bullet entered the heart
 Newman, who was 72 years of age and former street overseer of Girard, was chatting with Herriman and others at a little store. Vhe old man made some joking reference to a patent medicine Herriman was selling The young man construed the remark as a reflection on his wares and this led to a dispute dur ing which he called the old man liar. Newman said that if he was old he would show Herriman he couldn't run over him, and advanced on the young man.
 Herriman stepped back two or three paces, drew pistol and shot the old man dead. Herriman crossed to the Georgia side and late in the afternoon voluntarily surrendered to the Columbus police. The statements as to whether or not Newman was armed when he advanced on Herri- man are conflicting

Did you ever turn over g. big flat stone and watch the pale bugs and worms with a fringe of legs down each side, scurry to hide from the sunlight?
 How these little wrigglers hate the man who exposes them.
 Do you ever feel an antipathy towards these squirmers that remind you of the lickspittle prostitution of some poll ticians.
 A little further along we will lift a stone and give the people a square look before the crawlers can slink out of the sunlight.
 You will perhaps remember the one big question before the two National con- yentions to nominate Presidential candi- dates was the anti-injunction question. It vitally affects the liberties of the common people vs the Labor Trust.
 At the Republican Convention the ma chine managers after trade with the managers of the Labor Trust presented a plank calling for anti-injunction legis- lation,

Patriotic Union Men.

Don't think tnlS IS approved Dy all unloH men. Thousands of them are citizens of the best quality, but they are in bad com pany and are most arbitrarily ruled by the managers in power. These peaceable members look forward to the time when the boycott, strike, picketing, lighting, spelling machinery, cutting harness, stop- ping funerals, blowing up worlmen and homes, hate of the most intense kind, slugging and murder will stop, and the present managers who lie about their "peacefur' intentions while winl1ing at and supporting the crimes, will be re- placed by honest leaders who will conduct the affairs of honest workingmen in an honest and lawful manner not prejudicial to the rights of the common people, When labor contracts will be made like other contracts without coercion, threats or vio- lence, when a builder can safely agree upon the price of brick, lumber, glass, iron and labor in his building, and the manufacturer can safely agree to sell his machines or other products in this or for eign countries based upon certain and given cost for material and labor, without danger of ruin by violence and destruc-
  of citizens can depend upon the steady running of the industrial establishments upon which such communities depend for daily living. Then, and only then. will this Tabor warfare'' cease and the tre- mendous cost and harm to the common man be done away with Until that time it is manifestly the interest of every man not an interested participator in the prof. its of the Labor Trust (and the common citizens outnumber the others 40 to D to work and vote against every move of the Labor Trust to gain more power over the citizens. That allowed, liberty of the common people will disappear. It is time for the citizen to protect himself at the polls. He can only do so by putting down every class, either of capital or labor. seeking control of the affairs of the pub lie.
 Communities must retain control of their own affairs free from the dictates of any class organization.
 In this campaign the Combination Dem- ocratic Labor Trust party promise spe- cial privilege and immunity from law to the Labor Trust members when they try to ride over the citizens; the Republican platform promises the upholding of the Peoples Courts and protection for all the people, I am neither Democrat nor Re- publican. but only speak word for the common people,
 There's Reason.
 c. w. POST, Battle Creek, Mich
 N. B.-Let the reader remember that I am in favor of Trade Unions and these plain statements are printed with the hope that the impudent lawless men of violent tendencies" will be replaced by careful, honest, law-respecting managers who will rescue the sacred name of Labor from the odium the present managers have too often put upon it. Until that time citizens must be alert to protect themselves and their affairs.

A Letter to the Public.

A few years ago, Elm Leaf cemetery was started under the assessment plan. that is each Tot owner was required to pay an annual amount according to the size of his lot for care. It was soon seen that the plan did not work satis- factorily and when the Elmwood Ceme- tery company was organized, and dou- ble the size of the former, all lots 1t has sold have been under the perpetual care plan, that is, no assessments or charges are made for the moving of the grass. Elmwood is a lawn cemetery, the grass being moved free of cost on all lots, has given our grounds well kept, uniform appearance, and together with the trees and shrubbery planted has made Elmwood a beautiful place.
 Though our perpetual care plan is new, and different from other cemeteries in the district and while not understood by many, yet, we have had the hearty CO., operation of our lot owners by assisting us in beautifying the grounds, and We desire to express our appreciation of same.
 It is our intention to continue to im- prove our grounds and discourage the crowding of monumental work when il produces the junble-stone-yard effect, which has ruined many cemeteries and it being our desire to preserve the beau ty of Elmwood and always have mosern well-kept burial grounds.
 Yours to please,
 HAYWOOD CEMETERY CO, John R. Gaudin, Secretary and Treasurer

Anyone Could "Order."

If an Equity court was stripped of its power to punish criminal for refusing to obey the courts order to not commit the act until the court could investigate, then a street arab could as well issue the order and, he would have as much power to enforce that order.
 The courts established by the people must be supported by the people and em- powered to protect the people else they had as we'll be dissolved. Notice now the thought line running through all this Labor Trust movement against the courts. If reads plain enough. Every move is

Penny Arcade Talk.

Penny Arcade Talk.
 Now we hear In the graph ophones in
 penny arcades speech of this candi-
 date, including in sonorous tones,
 Why should the poor workman be denied the sacred right of trial by
 jury for his alleged crime?" A white
 man gets sickish feeling when he
 sees such deliberate attempt to suck
 sympathy by the most internal deceit. What brought up the subject was demand by the Labor Trust leaders
 that their lawbreakers, sluggers and
 dynamiters, when they disobey the or ders of the court and do these acts,
 be tried for contempt of that court by
 jury instead of being sentenced by
 the court itself for contempt of its or
 ders.
 in that plan the Trust leaders hope to make it easy for their workers to do these acts and escape by a packed or frightened jury.
 But mark you the clean-cut distinc-
 tion and here we lift the stone and put
 sunlight on the hidden, bleached spirm- CTS and show how they try to misin- form the public to gain sympathy and
  formed
 Under the present law every criminal has a right to trial for his crime by a jury.
 The paid slugger Of the entertainment committee of labor union always has jury trial for maiming or killing an- other workman, or for blowing up prop erty He is tried by law court and a jury. Notice therefore the hypocrisy in the maudlin appeal of Bryan and other wilful pervertors of fact when they say why should the worlxingman be denied the sacred right of trial by jury for his alleged crime?" A man who commits crime against the people, whether he has smut on his nose and poses as mar tyred "workingman' or has his finger nails manicured and is a member of capital trust, is always tried by a jury Never is the\criminal tried for his crime by the Equity Court which issues an in function ordering him not to commit It. If he goes on and does the act in spite of the courts orders not to, when that court simply orders him mot to-" until the court can enquire into his right to do the act he intends, then in, the event he wifully disobeys the courts order, he is held fin contempt and is punished not for the crime, (which must be tried by the jury in law courD but for disobed- fence of the courts orders.
