must suffer public condemnation

and we are led to extend sympathy
rather than censure.
Several times in the past, both
publicly and privately, Culver has

Culver has sold out his personal
liberty in the matter Of conducting

OF possessing either. consequently
we expect nothing from him.
Were we TO make an attack up
on him. we might publish some OF

creditors, wholesale houses, his bad
checks around town, the method

we print this stuff we only follow
the miserable policy of the poor
sucker and we refuse to lower our
selves to the filth.
We may be compelled to expose
the rotteness of the Republican,
Printing company in order that
the public may know who is really
responsible for these personal at
tacks and If we do we promise the
public some juicy reading that will
make some CT our good and respect

TAFT,s remarks about the la Dor unions at the annual dinner OF
the National Civic Federation were illustrative Of the great change
that has occurred in the last few years in the attitude OF public
opinion toward organized labor.
Time a as Mr. Taft said, when the employing class almost to
a ms "a opposed to the ogani cation of the workingmen. The EN-
poyer thought that his advantage lay in bargaining with the individual
and that low wages and a long days work for the man spelled com-
merciaI prosperity for the factory or the shop
Experience has taught the American manufacturer and the Amer
lean merchant, however, that the old policy Of grinding labor did not
pay. There is more money and less trouble for the employer when
his men are skilled. organized, well paid and satisfied. The result
OF this experience wa espresso d by F. W. Dohrmann at a gathering
of Japanese manufacturers durn 6 the recent visit OF San Francisco
business men to Toxic. II was reported that the Japanese factory
fact was supposed to be IN adv antage for Japanese manufacturers.
when you begin to pay your hands several times that wage for
eight or nine hours work, Japanese manufacturers will be strong COM
peutors of American manufactures, and you will begin to make money"
said Mr. Dohrmann, but not until then. 1t is not cheap labor, but
skill. intelligence and machinery that count"
Although wages in the United States ar high Andrew Carnegie
declares that American steel man ufacturers could underbid their com-
peutors In other countries with out the help O the protective tarin.
The Massachusetts, shoe factories, employing fairly well paid white
labor and highly specialized machinery, have been able to drive out
OF business the cheaplabor Chinese shoe factories that formerly
Hourished on the Pacific Coast
In the printers trade the union has benefited both the employ
though the workday is only seve and onehaf hours and the pay is
II they could. Uniform wages. arbitration agreements and contented,
Industrious and steady mel ire worth more to any intelligent employer
than the privilege of driving hard bargains with individual mechanics.
This is the experience Of employers in nearly every unionized trade.
Particular unions. Of course. commit acts of oppression and in
justice. but such cases ar fewer than they rwere,a and the tendency
Is toward fair dealing on both sides. The unions have come to stay
and business has been adjusted to the ew condition.

Two Ways of Looking at 1t.

There is Il young artist i'll Washing
ton who classes himself as Of the i'm
pressionistic school and who, being
somewhat out in drawing, generally
makes up for his lack OF technique by
spreading color recklessly and count
ing on distance for his effect.
At an amateur exhibition he once
hung one Of his most extraordinary
performances.
"W-ell," said friend whom the art
ist had taken to see the work, "I don't
want to fatter you, old chap, but that
is far and away the best stuff you
have ever done. I congratulate you"
Much pleased, the artist was receiy-
ing the compliment with becoming
modesty when he CHANGED again to
glance at the picture and turned very
red. The committee had hung it up
side down
Hurrying to the head Of the commit
tee, he was about to launch into loud
complaint when he was Informed OF
the good news that an hour before the
picture lad been sold for SS1. The

CRUTcH WALKING.
Trials of the Man Who Tried 1t For the
First Time,

r1rSS inc,
mo one who has never tried to use
crutches can have any idea Of the
trouble it is to learn to walk with
them" says a st. Louisan temporarily
disabled by an injury to one foot.
when | was first laid up antici-
pated speedy recovery. but progress
was slow, and in order that might
have a little exercise the doctor recon-
mended pair of crutches. There's no
trick at all in learning to use them.
He spoke Of it as matter of course.
and supposed that all l had to do
was to pick up the crutches, put them
under my arms and walk off, fast or
slow. Just as pleased. Lad seen
men with crutches walking at as brisk
a gait as I had ever been able to
achieve in my best walking days. so
was delighted with the prospect or get
ting out Of the house.
"The crutches were ordered and sent
home. l took them with alacritT. and
at the very first step i sat down SO
hard on the floor that it seemed TO me
nv spine was driven halfway into my
skull. After recovering from the shock
I concluded there must be something
wrong with the crutches. and visitor
to the house after trying them himself
pronounced them entirely too long. SO
I took off the rubber tips and cut OH
an inch, then tried them again and
would have had another sitting jolt
had not been held. The crutch expert
declared they were still too long, SO we
took off another inch, then two half
inches. That remedied matters some,
but speedily discovered after walking
a few steps with a man holding me up
that my hands and arms were about to
give out and that en- the slightest
provocation the crutch slipped from
under my arms and wabbled so alarm
ingly that felt every moment as II !
was going headlong to the ground.
"Then I discovered that I must rest
more weight on the top Of the crutch
and less on the handles. This was an
improvement. but in FIVE minutes the
muscles under my arms were so sore
that I couldn't stand the pain. Then
T out pads on top, only to find out that
a brick pavement is the toughest walk
ing place on the earth. A Rocky Moun-
tain path is like granitoid compared
to it. The slightest inequality caught
the tip of the crutch and sent me stag
gering. When I raised my foot to
take a step forward my shoe always
caught against the bricks, and I would
have had twenty falls every fifteen
minutes if had not been supported.
"Crutch walking is science. 1t
must be studied and learned like other
sciences. Now when see man traT-
cling along on two crutches am
filed with admiration for his dexterity,
but when I observe a cne legged man
getting over the ground on only one
crutch I feel that he is born genius"

Women's Love Of Ugly Men.

The illustrious men in history who
were distinguished as much for the fas-
cination which they exercised over the
fair sex as for their talents and abili-
ty were, as a rule, plain and insignit-
cant in appearance. Julius Caesar was
a very i'll favored man, and yet when
mere stripping, before his fame in
Rome, girls Of his own age sighed for
him and mature women loaged for his
love. Among the men Of later times who
were renowned in like manner were
Sir Philip Sidney, plain almost to ug-
liness: Paul Searron, the comic poet,
cripple; Vo.taire, unmistakably ugly,
and Rousseau, whose manners were
awkward as his face was plain, while
John Wilkes, who had the power to
subjugate any woman who spoke to
him for even FIVE minutes, was admit
ted by his own showing to be the ug-
lest man in England In his time.
