Postmaster General Won L. Meyer
has issued the expected order requir-

translations of their contents for ex-

to Old Parties
Says the Plan of the Fedora
ti0n's Head Would Result
in DissensiOns

DAVENPORT, Ia. Sept William
r. Hearst delivered an address in this
city today at a Labor day celebration.
Hearst said in part:
When l first urged labor unions to
go into politics, Mr. Gompers disagreed
with me and declared that labor unions
ought to keep out of politics. Now Mr..
Gompers agrees with me that labor
unions ought TO. go into politics, but
labor unions ought to go into politics,
and inasmuch as he was wrong and /
was right before, maybe he is wrong
now and / am right now;
Mr.. Gompers thinks that the right
way is for all labor unions to lay
their votes in his basket, like a lot
OF good, dutiful political hens. and for
peddle the contents to the republican
party or the democratic-party The OBJ
jections TO this plan are many and
they are convincing and conclusive.
First, you cannot afford to repose so
much power with any man or set of
men. There is a distinct danger that
peddled more for the benefit of the
owner of the basket than for the ad-
vantage of the honest, trustful layers
of the votes There would be compe-
tition for the contents of the, basket
of kind that would debauch and de-
stroy your organization.
Second, you would never be har-
monious in your ideas of how the vote
should be delivered. You would be
divided by differences of opinion. You
would be disrupted by dissensions.
Third, you would get little or no re-
suit from such a system, for the men
elected would be primarily democrats
or republicans. They would be your
friends before election, but would for
get all about you after election.
Fourth, you have tried out the old
parties time and time again and found
them wanting every time, and 1t would
be absurd for you to waste your time
and your opportunities persisting in a
policy that has continually proved a
failure.

difficulty has been to divide the results
fairly between the captains of industry
and the privates in the ranks. AS the
dividing is done largely by the captains,
ii is not unnatural that they should
magnify their part and appropriate too
large a share; neither is 1t unnatural
that there should be complaint on the
part of the toilers who think that their
recompense is insufficient.
The labor question, therefore, as it
presents itself at this time, is chiefly
a question of distribution, and the legis-
lation asked for is legislation which
will secure to each that to which his
services entitle him. As legislation is
secured through the ballot, every one
should use the ballot to obtain the
Legislation necessary The democratic
platform presents the ideal toward
which the democratic party is striving,
namely, justice in the distribution of
rewards.
REWARD FOR TOLL
The democratic party proclaims that
each individual should receive from So
ciety a reward for his toll commensu-
rate with his contribution to the well
fare Of society, and unless some other
party can do the work better, the
democratic party ought to have the
support of all, whether they belong to
the wage earning class or occupy posi-
tions in which they direct the efforts
of others. If an officer in the industrial
army were sure that his children and
his position, he might feel possibly in
different as to those under his COM
mand, but the children of those who,
today, work for wages may employ the
children Of those who, in this genera
ton, are employers. This uncertainty
as to future generations, as well as our
sense of justice, should lead US to make
the government as nearly perfect as
possible, for good government is the
best legacy that a parent can leave
to his child. Riches may take the
wings of the morning and fly away, but
government is permanent, and we can
not serve posteritv better than by con-
tributing to the perfection of the gov
ernment. that each child born into the
world may feel that it has here an
opportunity for the most complete de-
through service, the largest possible
happiness and honor.
From the moment the presidential
candidate arrived here until he retired

The first cheers he received were at

PROBABLY STATE SKETCH OF THE
LATE SCION ROYALTY

Sharply following the published
news yesterday afternoon of an i'm
provement in Prince David's condition,
cabled to the Princess about noon, the
sad news of his death came. He died
at the Hotel Stewart, San Francisco,
at 5:15 O'Clock in the afternoon. The
cause of death was pneumonia, de-
veloping from a cold taken ten days
before.
Col. Samuel Parker, Mrs. Campbell
Parker, the Misses Muriel and Beatrice
Campbell and former Governor John
T. Baker of Hawaii were present at
the Princes deathbed. Prince Jonah
Kuhio Kalanianaole and wife will like
ly have reached San Francisco from

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

Yesterday. A young man named
Franz Terkelsen was married in the
morning and in the evening there was
great merrymaking at his fathers
farm Suddenly there was a cry OF
"Fire!" and Franz and his father rush
ed out of the house. They found that
the stables were on fire, and ran in

were buried in the debris and burned to
death.

brought word of the princes indisposi-
ton, a fact that tended to make the
shock of the later tidings less sud
den.
Prince David had been ailing for
some time before he left here a few
weeks ago. 1t was hoped that a big
game hunting trip up north, in which
he was to join Colonies Parker and
Baker, would have a bracing effect on
his health. His death in San Fran
cisco recalls the fact that his kinsman,
King Kalakaua, died in the same city
in 1891.
