OF dope calculated to show that the
trade unions are in no. danger because
Of that infamous court decree. The
petty politicians are receiving instruc-
tions to assure the workingmen that
the unions are not affected, that they
are recognized as lawful combinations,
that only boycotting il daclared lille

OUR COTTAGE HOME,

Nestled well back on the hillside.
Ger looking the swift flowing stream,
Winding round meadows and islets,
Ger which the bright moonlight doth
beam, $3.50
Is the sweetest and contest cottage,
Under shelter Of elrns and OF pines;
Backed with "a thick verdant foliage
OF hazel and wild running vines,
It's haven OF love and of pleasure,
Where minds that are tired seek re-
pose;
It's the summer time home Of the
weary,
Where forgotten are life's cares and
woes;
It's there: where is breathed rich
fluid, x
With a tonic Of vigor for a base;
Where health and the rose red color
Are restored to the careworn face.
There is music in. all OF the tree tops,
Where proud robin is king Of the air;
Whose chtrp little song all the day
long
Lighters hearts laden with care;
There's a erfune SO rich and refresh.
Ing,
With the. coming Of each gentle breeze
It's fragrance puts life In the languid
AS it's famed by the wind through
the leaves.
Come to this home for the weary,
You who are worn out with care, ~
Relax meath its .shadowy pine trees,
And breathe deep it's vigorous air =
Then feel the nerve force returning.
And hope coming back to your breast.
Oh, come to this haven Of pleasure, J.
This place Of true comfort and rest.

A long after dinner siesta is most
celebrating to a theatrical official, the
functional unity of whose nervous or
ganfsm is .sorely depressed from a too
long indulgence the night before. in
the exuberar1ces and obstacles and in
expressib1e delights of an endearing

poetical. But where does the sooth-

the fellow who, like "Carter's Little

pounded at the box office and to which

to receive such high commentator
from all classes of playgoers as has
been given ''In Old Kentucky which

OUR LEADERS CRITICS.


party organs throughout the country
are trying hard to misrepresent Mr..
Gompers, and prejudice his fellow I'M
ionists against him in the present
campaign.
They know that he is an acknowl-
edged leader in the labor movement,
and that by exercising his intelligence
and thoroughly informing himself on
current political events, he cannot
consistently do otherwise than repu-
date a PARTY whose candidate In
augurated the preversion Of the In
junction process in labor disputes, and
whose legislators refused labor hear
ing and laughed at it's plea for relief
against oppression.
These are the things that are wor-
rying the Republican managers and
their subsidiary newspapers, and they
very much fear that unless something
is done to discredit Mr.. Gompers or
ganized labor in this campaign will
support the Democratic ticket, and
thus protect its own interests and
cease to be the tools of designing
politicians.
When Mr.. Gompers announced that
he would cast aside his partisanship
and stand squarely by those who have
evidenced some regard for the toilers,
a lot Of papers having political axes
to grind shout that "Gompefs says
he will deliver the labor vote to
Bryan" .ssaasss. .si
The facts in the case aFeeF That Mr..
Gompers has at no time promised to
deliver the labor VOTE to Bryan.
Mr. Gompers knows full we'll that he
has but one vote he can deliver, and
that vote Is his own. But after view
ing the situation thoroughly and hav-
ing posted himself on current poll
tical and industrial history, Mr.. Com
pers has decided in his own mind
that the interests Of organized labor
demand that organized labor support
Mr.. Bryan, and having SO decided In
his own mind he is bound to tell the
members of organized labor how he
thinks they ought to vote if they
would benefit themselves.
AS the head of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor it is not only Mr..
Gomper's privilege but his bounden
duty to advise unionists to lay aside
partisan bias and vote for the men
who come nearest to representing the
hopes and aspirations of union men
and women.
He went to the Republican national
convention and asked that men who
work for wage be put on the same
level Of justice as the men who toll
not, nor spin; upon the same level
as the men who pay the wages.
His answer was a sneer and the
result was calm ignoring Of the
just demands of organized labor.
Then Mr.. Gompers-who is himself a
Republican-went to the Democratic
national convention and asked for the
same thing.
The Democratic convention gave
heed to the petition and gave organ
lied labor the planks it wanted, and
which it was well within it's rights in
asking.
Why therefore should not Mr.. Com
pers and every other union man SUD-
port their friends for office as against
their bitterest foes
