at all times and to all parties
at will be noticed that in this
plank the declaration in favor of
amendments comes first and the de-
claration in favor of preserving un-
diminished the power of the courts
to enforce their processes comes
afterwards. In the plank as adop-
ted by the convention the declara-
tion In favor of the courts comes
first and the discussion of a change
in the law comes afterward.
Resort to Deception.
'If the demand of the laboring
man was unreasonable why did not
the convention say so? Why did T.
resort to deception? The Republi
can party will find that an hone, {
course would have been safer than
the dishonest course being pursued
Secretary Taft is known as the
father of government by injunction
and his speeches in Oklahoma last
year gave conclusive proof of his
adherence to- the position taken by
him on the bench. He is still in fav-
or of the use of the writ of ;njunc-
tion in labor cases and he is opposed
to trial by jury.
"In a speech delivered in New
York last winter he said in response
| to questions tina he law ought tC
| be so amended as to give a hearing
before the injunction was granted
and even consented that the hearing
for contempt should be before a diff
ferent judge from the one who grant
ed the injunction, but when he came
to prepare plank for the convention
he did not go so far as he went il
\ his speech. The plank that went be
fore the convention as his plank wa
so weak that il amounted to nothing
but 1t was even then too strong 70
the convention, and the convention
Iadopted a plank which not only doe
mot grant any concessions to tn
Tailoring men but really emphasize
the position taken by large corporat
employers by hurting anathema a
those who are suspected of a desir
to modify the law relating to In
\ functions.
This is tie treatment receive

tional conventions of the Republica
party. If this is the position OF tn
: party before the election, what reaso
has the laboring man to hope ths
J the party will do better afeer elet

A dispatch from Fon Du Lac,
Wis, says bringing his fast express
train to sudden stop to leap from
his cab and plunge into the waters
of Mud creek, Engineer J. A. lyman,
a thrilling rescue of drowning boy
Thursday.
lyman is a passenger engineer on
the Wisconsin Central, and when ap-
preaching Mud creek, near Hilbert
Junction, on his run from Manitowoc
to Neenah, he caught sight of the
lad seated midway on the bridge,
fishing, wholly oblivious of the ap-
preaching danger. There was an in
stant closing of the throttle
and an application of the air brakes,
but before the train could be stop
ped the bridge had been passed. The
boy, in his fright. either jumped in.
TO the water or was swept off by the
train.
When lyman leaped from his en-.
gine the little fellow was struggling
in the stream below, absolutely help

down the bank into the water, wad

moments later with his victim al

Struck Rocks and Sank-Fishcrman
Saved Many Lives.


A dispatch from Madrid, Thurs
day says; The Spanish steamer
Larache 800 tons), it has heen
learned, was struck Tuesday after
noon on the rocks off Ximilela
where the Cardinal Clsneros and
many other ships have been lost
and sank in IA few minutes. The sen
was rough at the time. The vessel
carried a crew of SO and 81 passeng-
ers. 1t is known that 1O7 have
been saved. The drowned number
was SO.
The Larache had called at Cadiz
to embark passengers from Argent
ma for northern ports. She was
bound for Muros. 1t is believed
she struck an unknown rock. as the
captain and the pilot were both fami-
liar with the coast. and shaped the
course to avoid the rocks.
There was a terrible panic when
the vessel struck and several of the
capsiZed or smahed against the
steamer. Fisherman put out from
various points and rescued many oi
those on board.

train which was bearing down
upon her, Miss Rossie Bradley, of
Hagan. Ga, lost her hold and was
dashed against the rocks below, Fri
day.
She was picked up by the engineer
OF the train, who witnessed the ac-
cident. and carried abroad his train.
where it was found that she was seri-
ously, though perhaps not fatally
hurt.
The strength of the young woman
gave out almost as hands were reach
ing to save her, as the engineer had
seen young ladies on the trestle and
stopped his train before it reached
them
Two other girls. a sister and cou-
sin of Miss Brady, ran from the
trestle when they heard the train
approach and they supposed that she
had followed. When they turned
and saw that their companion had
remained on the trestle and sought
to escape from swinging from 1t with
her hands they became terrified and
stood on the tracks.
Captain Jones, engineer of the Tai
lulah Falls railway. brought his
train to a standstill, and leaping from
his engine ran towards the girl who
had suspended from the big bridge
He had almost reached her side
when with a scream she dropped to
the gorge below. 1t was the work
of a few moments to run back across
the trestle and run down the path
way on its side. He found the
young woman bruised and bleeding
and in an unconscious condition.
Passengers and the train crew who
had followed the engineer assisted
him in carrying the young woman to
the train, which proceeded to the
falls, and the injured girl was sent
u the Smith house.
