somebody's business. He thinks the de-
cision means that blacklisting is equally
illegal and that the court will so decide
as soon as a case comes before it. 1t
is not an inequality in the law but in
its administration.
She says that an employer may
dismiss an employee because he is a
member of a union. In the long run,
he believes that this decision will be
found to be a good thing for union
men.
4-The decision TO bring unions under
the operation of the Sherman law he
thinks was inevitable under the plain
wording of the act and that the law
ought to be changed to specify par
ticularly product Of labor" and not
labor itself.
In conclusion Mr.. Hearst says:
Il think too. that labor people would
advance further by proper support of
the proper measures at the proper time
than by any amount of general pro-
test and criticism. Not only is an
ounce Of prevention worth a pound of
cure, but an ounce of cure is worth
a ton Of aimless, unworthy protest"
I'm the light of these decisions of
the Supreme Court bills can be framed
which will secure for the labor people
all they can legitimately desire"

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-william R.
Hearst in a signed letter in the Amer
lean this morning defends the recent
labor decisions of the Supreme Court.
He says: 1T is only a short time ago
that the radicalism of the Supreme
Court was being discussed. Now the
court Is being denounced on account Of
several decisions that seem reaction
airy, but / am disposed 10 think that a
careful consideration of these decisions
show that they are not reactionary.
Continuing he makes the following
points:
THE Supreme Court in rejecting
the Employers Liability Bill does so
because Congress cannot pass such an
action, but because Congress can only
make an act apply to Interstate cor
poration. The court distinctly affirms
that an employers liability bill is con-
stitutional
PAS 10 the decision against boy
cotting, Mr.. Hearst says that he agrees
with the court and tanks boycotting is
illegal. 1t is q conspiracy to injure

Because of Secretary Taft's sympa,

The principal experiments are be.

the explosive gallery, a miniature
mine consisting of cylinder made of
boiler plate and thick glass, 100 feet
long and feet in diameter. This
cylinder will be filled with natural
gas, which corresponds to firedamp:
with coal dust and with mixtures Of

0red into this gallery by means OF q
mortar, discharged electrically. Such
explosives as ignite the gas. and coal
dust will be considered dangerous.
Those which do not ignite the gas. or
dust will be termed permissible.
In addition to the experiments

there will be practical demonstrations

StND HIN BACK TO STRAW SLACK

Queer Method Used by Orators To

Ot-oHlo's Governor a Lawyer,
soldier, Student and Statesman As
Well As a Farmer.
The Hon. John J. Lentz, formerly
member Of congress from the Twelfth
district, who has been campaigning
with JudSon Harmon, must be partic-
ulArly strong In the rural districts.
Lentz has taken occasion, in most Of
his speeches, to ridicule the farmer.
BY implication, he says the only place
for the man who owns a farm is In
the corn row; that when he gets out
Of the nSld he u out Of his element
and lost
there is q pointed application of
this attitude of Lentz's in the case of
Governor Harris. Lentz said In a
speech at Lima recently: why mot
put him back on the'farm? Send him
back to the strawstack He has no
business in the governors chair.
1t is difficult to see in those SEN
tences anything but deliberate slap
at the farming men and women who
make up more than one-half the popu-
lation of Ohio. Fortunately for Lentz
and his gubernatorial candidate, he
has delivered most Of his speeches so
far In communities where few farm
ers have heard him.
Governor Harris is a farmer. He is
proud Of it and proud Of his farm
down in Preble county. But he Is
mere than q farmer. He 10 soldier,

Three times he was elected lieuten-
ant governor of Ohio. For a number
Of years he held public Office in his
home county. President Mckinley
called upon him to be member Of
an industrial commission that did as
much to ameliorate the condition of
the workingman after the disastrous
Cleveland administration as any 9th
er factor In tne country. Being par
ticularly interested in the farmers,
Governor Harris worked for their bet
terment and contributed largely to
economic history through his efforts
In their behalf
OF course Governor Harris Is a farm
er. But he Is one whose influence
has been felt In every state in the
Union. It is not probable that the
people Of Ohio will refuse him . re-

PROSPERITY AND POLITICS
An Allesory That Does Apply to This
Campaiun.


Prosperity is surely on the wing.
ago, but her flight is far more pleas
ing now than it was then. Now she
is approaching and the tlutter of her
pinions is plainly heard above the
vocalization of certain high-minded
individuals who would elevate them
selves into political power by con-
Vincing us that we are doomed to be
in bad way unless we let them run
the affairs of the nation, says Freight,
the Shippers Forum.
If you saw an apple about to drop
into your hat and some one came up
and told you that the apple was rotten
at the core and would not fall unless
1t were, you would probably lose a
good apple if you turned away with
out testing the fruit yourself. There
might justly be a suspicion, though,
in your mind, that your informer had
designs on the apple.
Thus 1t is with the present political
situation. We are told by the Peer
less HOpOCTdI anu IlOuuSl VI iu'SS
racy that where business plums are
apparently ripening on the tree, the
Trust Bug has bitten them and placed
within them the poison Of protection.
They are wormy or will be. The very
fact that they are ripening after such
a frost as struck them a short time
ago shows that something is wrong.
Now, it is up to you-who know
what the fruit has been-to decide
whether you will try the plums first
and see, or whether you will take the
word of your adviser, who might
mind you, we say might-want to get
a taste of some plums himself. When
one tries a third time to climb tree,
after receiving some severe bumps on
the two previous attempts, it is pretty
certain that there is something up
there that he wants. And if he comes
around u.tth statements as to the ma
ture OF tie fruit in your prosperity
orchard, tast find out for yourself
whethGI hi; solicitude arises from his
fears for your welfare or his own.

six REASONS.

Here are six splendid reasons
advanced by a local man for vot-
) ing for Taft. Sixty-six more
equally good could be given.
because he has been tried
and found to be honest, sincere,
capable, faithful and true.
2.-Because | believe him to be
a man of few words and more
deeds; his career as a public
officer is of the very best,
3.-Because he Is a man Of
principles and not given to spas
modic tendencies.
because he has practical
experience to guide him To- ssn
!, tAe shiD Of state on the, broad
ARd wide blue ocean.
5.-Beoause l believe that by
his election business will be in
vigorated and prosperity will
face us once more.
6.-Because by the past we
know the present, that Mr.. Taft
is conservative, not radical, and
by no means or influence will he
do anything that may cast re-
flections ON his party, which the
) people have delighted to keep in
office for A years.

TAFT. /. AND COLOR LINE
None In Philippines While He Was
Governor.
TREATED NATIVES AS EQUALS
Filipinos Welcomed to His Table and
to Other Social FunetionS-Rieh and
Poor Alike Were the Objects Of He
SolicitudO.

to Other Social FunetionS-Rieh and
Poor Alike Were the Objects Of He
SolieitudS.
After Mr.. Taft assumed charge OF
the Philippines there was no color line
SO far as he was concerned. There
had been one for centuries. The Span
iards introduced It, The Spaniard
would not permit even suggestion OF
social equality between him and the
Filipnos, although In intelligence,
breeding, education and attributes
which constitute manliness the upper
class Filipino is fully on a par with
the Spaniard or American.
Mr.. Taft's first care in the prosecu-
ton of his policy of attraction" in the
Philippines was to demolish the color
line. Leading Filipinos were bidden
to dinner and to other social AFFAIRS at
his home. and their wives and dAugh-
tiers we're asked to stand on the re-
ceiving line with Mrs. Taft. At dln-
ners Mr. Taft invariably took in the
leading Filipino woman. He did not
martyr himself In so doing. either, for
the Filipino women are bright, viva
cious and possessed Of keen sense OF
humor, which last quality alone would
insure their getting on well with Mr..
Taft. So far as he could Mr.. Taft be-
came one Of the people. A man who
accompanied him on his first tour of
the islands tells of having seen Mr.
Taft in close conference with young
Filipino lawyer, who, when he quit
Mr.. Taft's side, left with him a piece
of paper covered with diagrams. The
secret came out the next night at the
ball, which invariably formed a con.
spicuous part of the ceremonious en-
tertalnments. The ball was opened
with the rigadon, or Spanish Quadrille.
1t is a more complicated dance than
our quadrille. and the figures are not
called out. Mr.. Taft, to the surprise
Of his companions, stepped of with
the wife of the presidente and led her
through the quadrllle without a mis-
take. He kept his eyes fairly closely
glued to a bit of paper. 1t was the
same that the lawyer had left him
and upon which he had drawn a dia-
gram of the figures Of the rlgadon for
the instruction Of the governor.
In his office and at all times Mr..
Taft received the poorest as well as
the richest and most influential Fill
pino. An American contractor tells OF
having waited in Mr.. Taft's anteroom
for an hour while he explained to an
old Filipino woman what measures
she should take to obtain a balance OF
81 which, she asserted, the govern
ment owed her on an unsettled claim
Had he not met the Filiplnos on such
grounds of equality MIR. Taft could
never have so successfully strlven with
the problem In the Philippines. He
had to have the help of the FiliplnOs
and he obtained 1t by making friend:
Of them.
