FEAR THE REACTION.

1t may be doubted whether the
politicians of the so-called Manu-
facturers Association really desire
to see Gompers, Morrison and
Mitchell go to Jail.
They realize-or they should
realize, If they are not altogether
blinded by their own success in
trampling upon all public interests
--that the Imprisonment of these
labor officials at the present juno
ture would go far to rouse the
working class to united and agrees
sive political action.
If they have anything of the
shrewdne7s which characterized the
late Senator Hanna, they will try
to steer the course of the legal pro-
ceedings in such a way that Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison will
either be pardoned or let off on
some technical ground, while the
legal precedent will have been es-
tablished by which at any time in
the future some less prominent but
perhaps more formidable represen.

HARSH, APPARENTLY UNJUST


In a decision rendered by Judge
Wright Of tine supreme court OF the
District Of Columbia yesterday, Pres
ident: Fompers, Vice President Mitch
ell and Secretary Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor were
adjudged guilty of contempt of court
and Gompers was sentenced to -
months Imprisonment, Mitchell to nine
months and harrison to six months.
1t seems that an Injunction had been
issued by a Washington court which
enjoined the American F'ederationist,
the official organ of organized labor
from listing the Buck Stove and Range
company of st. Louis as unfair to
labor, and the injunction, it is claimed
was disregarded. We are not familiar
with the details Of the case, but one
thing is apparent in the decision as
1t appears in the dailies, Judge Wright
is not a friend of organized labor;
his remarks would lead any impartial
reader to believe that he was intensely
prejudiced against the defendants. An
appeal has ben taken and it is con-
fidently expected that the decision will
be modified or set aside.-The Prince

ADJUSTMENTS.

The love theme In ttTexas," which
opens at the Lyteum next Wednesday
for two performances, is unusually en-
PERTAINING, without being supercharged
with sentlrnentalism. Jack Dallam
loves and is loved by little Texas West,
daughter of mis- employer. An English
lord looks upon the winsome creature
with coveting eyes only to be rebuffed
by. the heroine and to have his face
slapped by the hero, who only refrains
from killing aim at the girls request.
Texas" is exciting and interesting
from first to last act: It is one of the
best cowboy plays in the country and
has the PERSONAL stamp of approval of
that king of ,cowTnen, Col William F.
Cody, who has seen it, repeated both
in New York and Chicago. The COM
ing production is under the personal
supervision of the author.
Duluth playgoers will have their
first view of Rose Stahl in James
Forbes comedy, .ttThe Chorus Lady" at
the Lyceum next Friday and two per-
formances on Saturday.
For more than two years past this
attraction has been the talk Of the
theatrical world. because. of the fact
that Miss Stahl,.4who before her ad-
vent in the Forbes play was compara-
lively unknown. Invaded New York
and in a single might scored such a
substantial success that the attrac-
ton remained there for an entire sea-
son and was profllsely heralded as one
Of the greatest hits brought out in
many years. Miss Stahl comes to this
city surrounded, BY the entire original
company that helped her to make 1.-THE
Chorus Lady,: famous. The: central
character in this play is Patricia
O'Brien and it, lis in this role that
Miss stahl has 50 firmly festab ished
herself as a start Patricia q Brien is
chorus girl Of "a slangyy sover-wise
type and yet the other side of her
character is SO predominating that she
inspires admiration and even affec-
ton. The story OF the comedy deals
with stage life which is stripped of
the false glamour and glitter Of false
conception and is shown as it really
exists. The production is under the
management Of Henry B. Harris.
The mystic world of red wagons,
clowns, peanuts and sawdust and the
big tent of a circus will be seen in
Frederic Thompson's production of
Polly of the Circus which will be
seen for the first time at the Lyceum
next Monday and Tuesday. While the
play carries with it the atmosphere OF
the sawdust ring and it's accessories

and far from being romantic or senti-
mental, there mas been woven into il
by it's author, Margaret Mayo, touch
ing romance of love which Is forcibly
and capably brought to the front by
Miss 7dith Taliaferro, who plays the
title part.
Miss Taliaferro is an ideal heroine
for a love affair, and she acts Polly the
pet of the circus and afterward the
bride of q minister in graceful and
artistic manner. Her Polly is not the
noisy, uncouth Circus lady," but is
the portrayal Of refined, affable and
gentle young woman who, "shy'' on

DANGEROUS SOIL.

If there is one lesson more than
another taught by the history of

very soil that requires the exercise
of eternal vigilance to keep it

In straight falls
After a conference lasting the
greater part of the day Frank Gotch
and Yusin Mahmout finally settled
the trouble which threatened to arise
over the fact that the Bulgarian pur-
posed TO enter the ring in his bare
feet. II has been Mahmout's custom
In his matches in this country to
wrestle in his bare feet. Gotch felt
that this would invalidate his chances
for obtaining the toe hold, his favor

ingly he called attention to the rules
which provide that all wrestlers
should wear shoes during the course
of a championship bout.
Finally Agreed.
Mahmout remained stubborn and
Insisted upon entering the ring in his
bare feet. For a time It appeared as
though the hitch would result in
calling of the championship. but
finally Mahmout agreed to forfeit
$500 of his end of the purse to Gotch
and enter the ring IN his bare feet.
Rather than call the match on Gotch

The average yield this year is ex-

DEGENERATE FOURTH.

Walla Walla, Sunday and yesterday,
set a good example of the sane and
safe Fourth" There was no serious
fire. and no one was badly damaged by
fireworks.
The downtown streets, which here
tofore have roared with the explosions
Of giant firecrackers and bombs, with
the attendant dangers of loss of life and
limb and fire, were decently quiet In
the residence districts the popping of
small crackers gave the children bit
of fun. Parents, realizing the peril of
the heavier explosives, seemed to have
almost entirely prevented their use this
year.
In an eastern city today celebrant
lies in Jail under the dictum of SEN
sible Judge who has decreed that the
prisoner shall there do pennance for a
reasonable time unless he can write
an essay on the subject of why the
Fourth of July is being observed. He
fired pistol and was arrested. Up to
the time of going to press the prisoner
had not been able to comply with the
demands of justice and patriotism. He
doesn't seem to know why he fired the
pistol. and. as a further testimonial to
his ignorance, he told the court that he
thought Pittsburg was the capital of
the United States.
Every American school boy will laugh
at the poor chap who is spending his
holiday behind the bars chewing a lead
pencil in the hope that he may suck
therefrOm enough inspiration to satisfy
the requirements of the court, yet it is
a fact that thousands of persons over
+he country are burning powder with
detonations that rock tall buildings, but
with no exact knowledge of why they
are doing it. WE have lost the signifi-
canoe of most of our holidays, but the
glorious Fourth is certainly in the lead
in degeneracy.
