1t is practically certain the electoral

the probabilities are that Bryan viii get

if the official returns should show that
the Republican eleCtor who headed his

The reason for this is that. apparently.
more Republicans than Democrats
marked their ticket for the first-named

II was while he was living at Wood

had his first peep into the world of ma
tural history.
a visitor to his fathers home left a
BOOK behind him. 1t was GUyots Earth

the book for pasttime. He was soon
absorbed, and from that day until his
last illness forced him to give IN his
work, he never lapsed in the study of tn
truths set forth in that little book.
Prof Mason was graduated from Co

came an instructor in that school. The

While he served as head of the pran-

hours TO assisting Prot. JOSeDh Henry

His Early Work.
His energies were first devoted 10
biblical archaeology, which he later dis
continued to take up anthropoIogy and
then ethnOlogy. He was made curator
Of the department of ethnoIogy in 1881.
Among the well-knOwn writings OF

found time, when his duties at the mu-

loEe-blushing, guazy-winged and
tender love-aIl-conquering, all
merciful and comforting-won it's
way With a club, and will find it's
ighes social expression-as today it
gains its individual glory-as the

hearts are near to bursting with their
toll.
TT is because labor is the law that
those who do the work have organ
lied. Human nature has always
enthusiastically resisted the law. The
Bill of Rights of England came as a
pill to tyranny on the end of a pike.
It is Well to say that law-as a prin-
.9pIe-alWays a But it's develop
ment from an abstraction into a fact
does not follow from biologic evolu-
ton. Their is no natural COM
promise and amalgamation between the
man who has it all and the. man who
wants his share. In the end the d.
vision is had. But it never ONE
without a dispute. Labor, which
started with nothing, created a some
thing that in the beginning it was not
permitted to own. That sort of labor
has always been popular with those
who loaf. But the first Tabor organi-
cation was not one of laborers, but of
promoters of labor. It was composed
of those who saw in the mower OF
consolidation a substitute for labor by
themselves. When labor was first
rash enough to organize, capital ma
turally felt outraged at the infringe
ment of it's patent. The interests that
first constructed the barriers of
class were the first and the Ioudest.
and are yet the most persistent, in
crying class prejudice In so far as
it is 'worthily conceived, the demand
OF organized labor is a demand for
the extinction of class. rather than
an effort to create it. Organized
