Taft's Stand on Labor.

Taft talked today to many labor
audiences. At Terre Haute, injunction
was the feature of his speech, and af-
ter it had been explained, and the posi-
ton of the two parties clearly set
forth, the candidate declared with
great vehemence:
THAT is where the Republican party
stands, that is where | stand, and
don't care what happens politically,
that Is where l am going to stand, and
have issued injunctions against law
less laborers who were violating some
body else's rights. If had not done
it, should not have a right to be here
asking for your sucrages. What kind
of judge do you want? Do you wan.
judge that distinguishes between
classes, decides in favor of one class
and agaist another? Is that the char.
acter of judge you want in free coun-
try? 1t is not the Judge who. under
/ his oath, with law as it is laid down
in text book and statute, and with evil
dence before him, under his DATA de-
cides according to justice of the case
and then issues the order that the law
requires him to issue.
1T is remedy that ought to be en-
forced agaist any one who does a
lawless act that cannot have adequate
remedy at law, ard to have it abolish
ed merely 9cause it has sometimes
been abused, and sometimes issued
against laboring men, is to destroy the
character of your courts, is to destroy
the science of law and to enact class
legislation"

Some Evening Reveries.

the happiness you WILL ever nave,
you will get at home. The inde-
pendence that comes to man when
his work is over and he feels that
he has run out of the storm into
the quiet harbor of home, where he
can rest in peace with his family,
is something real. 1t does not
make much difference whether you
own your house or have one little
room in that house, you can make.
that little room home to you.
You can people it with such moods,
YOU can turn to it with such sweet
fancies that it will be fairly lumin-
Gus with their presence, and will
be to you the very perfection of a
home. Against this home none of
you should ever transgress.
God placed somewhere in the
heart of each of us a tender memo
ry, which enables us to touch with
a gentle hand or soothing word the
heart of the afflicted. What a
comfort to know that for every
heartache there is somewhere in the
universe heaven-inspired soul to
comfort those downcast. Let us
make our words as dew from heav-
en-, touching with gentle hand the
withered flowers, giving new vigor
to the hardy.
Make your homes pleasant to
your children and there will be no
armies of unemployed marching
through the country. In America
every sober, Industrious, honest
young man can find employment.
He may have to accept an humble
calling, but will rapidly climb the
ladder. AS the twig is bent, the
tree is inclined y and if is- tho
homes without pleasures or happl-
mess that send the children upon
the streets in search of a more con-
genial atmosphere than they find
beneath the parental roof. There
are none of us so poor but we can
train a few roses on the humble
wall. and their scent and beauty
will long be remembered, and
many a boy, instead of going tt
loaf upon the public highway, will
linger at home among the flowers
Moral degradation always begins
at home. Honesty is never gained
or lost suddenly, or by accident
but idleness feeds upon it and will
, in time, use up the last vestlge
The happy home, be it a cottage o
a mansion, furnishes no recruit
for an army of unemployed.
The person that stands on tn
, street corner looking around TO
something to gossip about or t.
find fault with can always fin

manner and looks. For such

LOCAL DolNes ABOUT TOWN.
Punsent Paragraphs Picked up BY Our Peram-
buIatins pencil Pusher.

The small crowds and lack OF
enthusiasm at the Folk meetings
last week show conclusively that
the democracy of this county favors
the reelection of Senator Stone.
The football and basket ball
games Saturday afternoon will be
held at Bruins ball park north OF

Der are printed in The BLADE to-

The butcher shop that has been
closed for the past two weeks is
open again. Geo. Farrar has leas-
ed the shop and tools of J. II. Dick
and opened yesterday and will, in
add ..on to fresh meats, carry
hams, bacon, etc.
Rummell's store doesn't claim
the earth; neither does it claim to
have all the business in Brookfeld,
but the decided increase in business
justifes the remark that something
surely must be pleasing the trade.
