and Mr. Hisgen were the principal
speakers at picnic this afternoon
My Friends: | intend to talk poll
tics, because we are all thinking poll
tics. and talking politics at this time,
but | do not intend to make a polit-
ical speech or a partisan speech.
"of course. labor unions ought to
go into politics. Why not"
Now Mr.. Gompers agrees with me
that labor unions ought to go into
politics, but | don't agree with him
on the way labor unions ought to go
into politics, and inasmuch as he was
wrong and i was right before. maybe
he is wrong and | am right now.
Mr. Gompers thinks that the right
way is for all labor unions to lay
their votes in his basket. like lot
of good, dutlful. political hens. and
for him to take his basket to market
and peddle the contents to the Re-
publican party or the Democratic
party.
The objections to this plan are
many. and they are convincing and
conclusive.
First. YOU cannot AFFORD to repose
so much power with any man or any
set of men. There is a distant danger
that the contents of the basket would
be peddled more for the benefit of
the owner of the basket than for the
advantage of the honest. truthful lay
ers of the votes. There would be
competition for the contents of the
basket of kind that would debauch
and destroy your organization with
out benefiting the humber members.
Second ycu would never be har-
monious in your ideas or how the
votes should be delivered. You would
be divided by differences OF opinion;
YOU would be disrupted by dissens-
ions.
Third, YOU would get little or no
result from such system for the
men elected would be primarily
Democrats or Republicans. They
would be your friends before election,
but would forget all about you after
detection.
Fourth. yon have tried out the old

pubic beggars," he did not show a
spirit in sympathy with American
labor or in harmony with American
ideas.
And when Mr.. Bryan the other day
appointed as treasurer of the Demo
cratic campaign fund this man Has
kell. a member of secret citizens
alliance hostile to labor in mean
and cowardly way. he did not show in
that either spirit in sympathy with
American labor or in accordance with
American fair play.
Takes Up Haskell Charge.
Now. for the Haskell matter
Everybody knows that just as Mr..
Roosevelt ran the Republican con-
vention to suit himself, so Mr.. Bryan
ran the Democratic convention to suit
himself.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Bryan
made Mr.. Haskell chairman of the
committee of resolutions and plat
form.
Everybody does not know, how
ever. that Mr. Haskell is a member
of a petty secret citizens alliance,
whose one object is TO crush labor
unions and reduce wages.
When everybody does know this
they will understand why the Demo-
cratic platform, which Mr.. Haskell
supervised. contains labor plank
meant to defraud laboring men and
deceive the citizens generally.
Now, my friends, Mr.. Bryan, that
unselfish friend of the workingman,
has lately made Mr.. Haskell. that
other unquestioned friend of the
workingman, National treasurer OF
the Democratic campaign fund.
Mr.. Gompers urges you to send in
your dollars to this fund, ] am not a
,eader of labor, am only an humble
follower in the ranks.
Don't let me prevent you from
sending your dollars il you want to
have never asked the workingmen
to do anything they did not want to
do or not to do anything they did
want to do.
Just remember, however. that some
part of the fund you are asked TO

lars may be used ITO check" what Mr..
Haskell calls. IN so friendly way,

The shaft was white. but its base was

to stand between two diverging trunks
OF the tree and lasted about two sec

The signed contract of James
Lucas was received by the manage
ment of the local baseball club to-
day. The signed documents are
coming in rather slowly, some OF
the players being inclined to de-
mand more money than is being Of
fered by the management.
Luskey, Burk, Fox and lngerton
are the principal ones who are hold
ing out. These men like those who
have signed contracts, have been
given salary cuts in order that the
club will be within the salary
limit. II will be useless for them to
try and bluff the management for
they must either accept what is Of
fered them or stay out of organized
baseball. At the close of the last
season the management decided to
pay no larger salaries this year
than it could afford. It is stated
positively that none of the reduc-
tions will be changed in any case.

Late at the Play.

passages In the plays Of contemporary
dramatlsts that the manners OF thea

We're not nice, but there Is no reason
to believe that even the fops habltual-
ly arrived Mt the theater late. Mr..
Sparkish, Mr.. Novel and their fellows
would talk loudly while the play was
going ON TO show the superiority OF
their wit to the poets, but they likely
were on hand early to lose none of the
fun. In later epochs of English the
atrical history theater going was a
serious undertaking, not mere pas
time. One can tell from the begin
nings OF old plays that the authors
counted on audiences closely attentive
from the first. Lady Randolph Is the
first speaker In douglas" Orestes In
'The Distressed Mother" Almelra In
"The Mourning Bride" The custom
OF playing the audience In" with a
snort piece was OF still later origin.

The stockholders of the Marion
baseball club will be entertained at
the Commercial club some evening
next week by the officers and direc-
tors of the club. The plans for the
coming season will be talked over
at that time and other important
business will be attended to.
TO put the Marion club on a
iirmer financial basis the officers OF
the club have decided TO sell more
stock and it is to be hoped that
the fans of the city will subscribe
literally for the stock. II seems al
most certain that the Marion club
will make money this year. At least
the club win not go in the hole the
way it did last year. With the salary
limit in effect the clubs expenses
will be far lower than last year

Japanese students In Ameriea.

The Japanese students in America
are significant of Japan's worldwide
hunt for efficiency. The Japanese gov
ernment spends upward of S150000 n
year In Sc ding its best students to
America aud Europe to learn the latest
educational methods and TO garner the
most advanced results of the scientific
research Of the world. There are about
100 of these subsidized students study
ing In various countries today, and
each year they carry back TO their ma
tive land not only great stores OF scien-
tlfic knowledge. but also the latest in
formation about manufacturing proc
esses OF all kinds. Each student has a
maximum allowance from the govern
ment Of 5000 year. and In special
cases this may be increased by rs
much as $3.50 more for touring or spe.
cial study. In all cases an allowance Of
800 is made for outfit, which probably
accounts for the fact that every .Iapa-
nese student owns a frock coat and a
silk hat. In addition $3.50 is allowed
for travelling expenses each way To stu
dents who go to study In the western
states and S40O to those who go TO our

EARLY NEW YORK.
Its Name in the Year 1864 Was the
"Towne Of Mannados."


While many persons are aware OF the
fact that New York has not always
been so called, having for time at
least been known as New Amsterdam,
probably not one In 10000 Is aware of
the fact that In early days it possessed
still another and now forgotten maine
the Towne of Mannados. That thiH
was the case, however, is shown be-
yond the shadow of u doubt by map
which hangs IN the armory OF the Old
Guard Of the city of New York among
its collection Of early Americana, the
authenticity of which is certified to by

ish museum, In whose possession Is the
original from which the copy In the
