DO YOU CALL
THIS JUSTICE,

IFooaoly no olspatch from
the nations capital was read
with such interest by the labor
ing man, who is the member of
a union, then the articles from
Washington Saturday telling
of President Roosevelt's action
in regard to the recent sentence
of the prominent labor leaders.
John Mitchell, Samuel Com
pers and Frank Morrison, con.
victed of the charge cf causing
a boycott.
Saturday President Roose-
velt heard the "cry in the viii.
derness" from the union man
and declared that he would lis.
ten. Yesterday he issued an
authoritative statement, de-
claring that he could not at
present interfere in the case,
which has aroused every union
man in the country.
That is where President
Roosevelt stands, and the
broad minded union man will
see the position.
In the first place the sentence
of such men as John Mitchell,
Samuel Gompers and Frank
Morrison, branding them Grim.
inals, is anti-American and
may be illegal.
The courts, are habitually
sending labor men t. Jail, not
for crimes, but for infractions
of rules laid down under the
authority of law. Trust mag.
mates do the same things labor
leaders do, but are they ever
sent to Jail? Or when even
convicted do they ever know
how it feels to be placed be-
hind the bars? Sometimes
they are fined, but do they ever
pay their fines7 Witness, the
Standard Oil s29,O 100000 fine.
While all these decisions
may be within the law-wheth-
er the Sherman anti-t. ust law
or some other law-they are
enforced with great inequality,
it seems to as. The Sherman
law is spoken of as an anti
rust law, but no trust magnat e
to our knowledge has been sent
to Jail because of it, while labor
men have many times gone to
jail under the force of it. All
that anyone asks-all that can
be asked-is equality under
the law, but there seems to be
no equality under these cir
cumstances.
1t seems to us this 1 800 miles
away, that the supreme court
of the District of Columbia, in
this test case, brought by the
Buck Stove company of St.
Louis, a trust-could have
made it's decision emphatic and
established it principles-if it
had any to establish-without
unnecessary severity of sent.
ence or violence of language,
and that it would have been
wise and prudent to do 80.
President Roosevelt has de-
clared that he must await the
decision of the appeal of the
case before he can act, and. his
pardon power is absolute.
With no disrespect to the
court of the District of Colum.
bia, we are glad that an appeal
is to be taken, and we hope
that the recent sentence will
be reversed.
Boycotting may be illegal,
but why send the boycotter to
Jail and only fine the other fell
low, as was done in Missouri
last week when the Standard
Oil and Republic Oil Compan-
les were used and prohibited
from doing business in that
state, and the Waters.Pierce
company ordered dissolved.

BREAD BASKET

BREAD BASKET
This poor, unfortunate
down-trodden nation only pro.
duced Z billion 700 million dol
lars worth of farm produce this
year and nearly twice as much
wheat as any other country in
the world; enough corn, wheat,
oats and chickens to put a
hundred dollars in the pocket
of every man, womon and child
within it's borders!
In 1909, the latest year for
which statistics are available,
we produced more gold and
silver combined than any other
country in the world. Every
year since then the output has
increased, until now the world
does not produce but little
more than twice as much as
the United States alone.
This year the prairies of
Kansas and Nebraska, Texas
and New Mexico yielded crop
of grass that has never been
known to be more rich. And

tie march over 3 million strong
into Kansas City and Chicago
alone. 1t is fair to estimate
that there wac nearly whole
beef --latest census SO million)
for every man, woman and
child in the United States;
almost twice as much as every
one could eat.
Sitting here, in our little
upper corner of the East, so
many people feel that our
world of finance is being over
turned with every little furry
of the street; that our nation is
burdened with more than she
can bear.
We. do not seem to realize in
this vast country Of America
that we haven't even cut the
trees nor built the roads.
Seven t:illion seven hundred
million dollars in a farm har-
vest alone, and yet scarcely a
mentionable part of this coun-
try has ever been touched with
a plow! Indeed. over 500 mill
lion acres are not even survey
ed.
Down in Texas, in Nevada,
Colorado, up in Montana, cat.
tlemen standing guard over
their living wealth are as far
out of touch of civilization as
a ship at sea. Around them
sweeps an area of hundreds of
miles of plain and plateau,
mountain and ravine, with
seldom even the sight of a
human obode. All rich ground,
failow to the plow. waiting for
the seed.
Out in Nevada, college men
leaving the western coast
tramp into the deserts as fully
expectant of finding gold as
they have been before of find
ing knowledge in their classic
halls.
This poor, down-trodden
nation. 30 rich that the poorest
of us would be well-to-do to
any European peasant; this
little handful of 80 million men
and women could be lost in
India, Russia or China or scat
tered thru Europe like a hop
per of grain in a plowed field.
This handful of population car
rying the wealth of the world
in it's pockets set up terrible
cry of alarm a year ago when
somebody overturned the ink
pot and got things black.
It's time to forget that incid.

SHIP TAVERN CLOSES.
1t Has a History Running Back. to
Time of Pitt.

London, Feb. 1.-The Ship Tavern,
one of the most famous of London's
riverside inns located in Greenwich
has closed its doors after am existence
extending back to the days of the
great English statesman. William Pitt,
who denounced the war against the
American colonies and after whom
was named Fort Pitt from which the
city of Pittsburg takes its name. 1t
was at the Ship Tavern that Pitt in
stituted the famous ministerial white
bait dinners during his time of 16
years as member of the ministry.
In the days when Greenwich was a
fashionable riverside resort the Ship
Tavern became known all over the
world. 1t was while William Pitt was
leader of the ministry 120 years ago
that he introduced the custom of the
yearly gathering together at. the close

WOULD HELP JOSEPH POLLOCK.
Delegation of Women Wait on Sheriff
and Offer Bond.

A delegation Of eleven women from
Little Russia waited on Sheriff VIII
kerson Friday with a request that
Joseph Bollock. who is in the county
Jail charged with murder, be re-
leased on a bond which they agreed
to furnish. Bollock made a grand
stand attempt to commit suicide in
the county Jail Monday by taking a
dose of table salt or something else
equally as harmless and the effort
seems to have had the desired effect
though Bollock's wife was not in the
delegation which waited on Sheriff
Wilkerson.
Bollock was released on a $4,000
bond shortly after the murder which
was a brutal affair, with the under
standing that he would leave liquor
alone. Sunday he came home in a
drunken condition and started trouble
and his bondsmen decided to turn him
over to the authorities and he has
been in Jail since that time.
No attempt has ever been made to
justify the release of Bollock on a
bond such as the one which he gave
for $4,000 and it is understood that
the sheriff and county attorney will
ask that the bond be raised to $4,000.

Stocks Had to Contend With Depress

New York, Feb. 1.-The stock mar

pressing factors this week to which
it has shown resistance in varying de-
gree. Support by large banking and
capital Interests We're given credit for
the resisting power displayed. The
heavy shrinkage in the iron and steel
trade disclosed by the quarterly report
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton falling off in railroad traffic and
accompanying measures of economy
and the renewed activity in govern
ment circles at Washington in pur-
suit of corporation abuses were of
repressive or depressing effect on
stocks. A development that was re-
garded with satisfaction was a broad
ened demand for mortgage bonds
which expanded the volume of dealings
in that department at the stock ex-
change and lifted prices perceptibly
