Detroit, Mich. Oct IA dis
patch to the Journal from Millers-
burg, about 20 miles north of Metz,
states that IL people were burned to
death with the Metz relief train and
that Is skeletons have been found in
the burned wreck OF a gondola car.
The dispatch says that the train
ran into a burned out cu,vert. which
was the cause of its derailment.
Among those who persisted are Mrs.
Cicero and her three children. Engi-
neer John Kinville. OF Alpena. ami
another member OF the train crew
escaped with their lives, but terribly
burned, by creeping along the track
on their hands and knees TO Posen.

Col. Henry Watterson-now fol-
lower OF Bryan-in the Louisville
Courier-Journal on February "a,
1908, said:
Just before Mr. Bryans return

responsibilities of government than a

portunity. would have opened his
arms 10 his whole party. forgetting
alike individual grievance and fac
tional differences. Beneath that broad,
expansive smile, which puts such a
spell upon the minimizing, Mr.. Bryan
seems to me to carry a narrow and
grudging spirit This may be natural,
but II is unfortunate. / have watched
him closely, and think without
prejudice, and / can see nothing OF

osity about him-not an iota OF self

relentless. unforgiving purpose OF an
implacable who has learned nothing
and forgotten nothing since 1896"

then engaged in such conspiracy.
and the strike fund was tangible evil
dence of such conspiracy.
On one occasion violence was at.
tempted in a strike and a secondary
boycott Instituted. An injunction was
prayed and the case was presented TO
Federal Judge William II. Taft. He
held unlawful the secondary boycott,
and the violence, but in his opinion
he declared trades unions to be law
full and the strike and the strike fund
proper means to an end.
Soon after a case came up in st.
Louis, an injunction suit involving
the very grounds touched upon by
Judge Taft, and his opinion, regard
ing trades unions strikes and strike
funds, was cited and relied upon by
attorneys for the defendant strikers
to oppose the injunction, and they
were successful. Judge Taft's decision
stands today the magma charta and
the bulwark of legitimate trades
unionism. His was the first Judicial
utterance, giving the sanction of the
law to organizations of laboring men
for their mutual protection and ad-
vancement, and so clear cut and well
defined was his opinion, that Il never
has been cushioned, but the procedure
of unions in their contests have been
shaped along lines laid down by him.
When pressed for his opinion of
Judge Tafts decision in the labor
cases land these decisions were all
upheld Mr. Bryan acknowledged that
he never had read them. II was a
bad mistake for Judge Taft's oppo-
nents to attack his record on the
bench; for II has drawn out the truth.
Mr. Gompers IS against him; but
observe that leaders OF the trades
unions are for him. The difference is
that they held aloof from political
because they wished to,
keep politics out OF their organiza-
tons; but the activity and the per-
sistence of Mr.. Gompers has put the
question OF presidential succession UP
10 them, Just as he did with the Ohio
Federation, which turned him down.
Take note, too, of the treatment ac-l
,orded any trades union man. who
iares differ with Mr.. Gompers. Tn.
after Is purity itself. II is a sin to
barge him with any Interior motive
n dragging unionism into politics.

THE VOTERS DUTY.

Here II is Saturday night with the
election two weeks OF. Take a little
time to devote to your country be-
tween now ami Monday morning. Re
gard the situation, not as a partisan.
but as selfsh.y, II you
wish to put il that way. What IS
best for you? A world wide money
panic Frustrated industries last fall
and we are still feeling the effects OF
it in collections; but the price of farm
products has stayed up. and as labor
is resuming work, II is at the old
wage scale. That is not like the panic
OF 1898, is Il?
Now. Just when a revival is on.
one that promises big things as soon
as the uncertainty of the election is
past, do you want TO changer
Here is a candidate for president
from the state of Mckinley, reared
in the same political doctrines. prom
Using to continue the policies under
which resumption Of trade is taking
place-a calm, orderly-minded man;
whose record shows not a single di-
gression from the path OF sanity
and rectitude. He Is associated with
the best minds OF the country, skilled
in statecraft. used to meeting the
problems OF national government.
His accession will not cause a sing,e
moments pause.
On the other hand, there is can
Ididate. who demanded the free coin
age of silver at the ratio OF sixteen to
one; who declared the Philippines
should be turned over to the patriot"
Aguinaldo: who helped draft the Cor
man-Wison tariff bill. that Cleveland
denounced; who spoke in favor OF the
government ownership OF railroads.
and now has proposition TO Top the
tariff a little bit at a time. to compel
reputable banks 10 insure deposits in
specializing institutions, who would
deprive courts of the power TO en-
force their own orders by peremptory
proceedings for contempt; and who
would limit the development of pri-
vate enterprise by artificial barriers.
Will business continue uninterrupt-
eddy its gradual resumption under the
uncertainties, which the control OF
such a man would induce? A COM
plete change of personnel would b,
made in the administration. Men
untried in national service, who have
opposed every national enterprise
since their. entrance into politics,
f, would take charge and experiment
with untried theories, just at the time
when business. OF all things on earth
desires to be let alone.
Think this over. Ask yourself II II
is an unfair summing up of the situa-
ton. Is the risk OF change worth
the while?
