best Americans, because they have a
conception of citizenship and sover-
eighty and the responsibilities of both.
Ihey will demand an exercise of the
former and are willing to assume the
latter. Under the so-called open

World. Wide Movement.
President Gompers sees world
wide movement OF the laborers to Sc
cure their rights. He hopes to get
in closer touch with this international
spirit through his trip abroad. He is
going there to fraternize and bring
back to America greetings from the
brotherhood of Europe.
"The cause of labor" said Mr..
Gompers, discussing his trip, is a
fundamental scheme of things. There
is not any boundary that separates
our mutual interests and mutual ne
cessities. Against the tyranny and in
justice of nations toward workers
must be directed the combined force
of organization. There is no other
instrument on earth so effective and
potent weapon against the wrongs
that exist under modern industrial
conditions as the union. Without it
the toilers cannot peacefully, lawfully,
and nationally work out their destiny.
With it will come peace and read
justment of civilization; without it
servility, serfdom. or revolution.
Hollow Square Deal
eve ask equality of rights, equality
of opportunity, equality before the
law. l don't mean that fake square
deal that has been prated about so
much-that square deal is a mighty
hollow square. But l mean that sort
of a solid, real and tangible square
deal that the signers of the Declara-
ton Of Independence had in mind. A
suppression of free speech, a free
press and the right to assemble peace
ably-all rights irrevocably granted
American citizens-would mean de-
molition of our entire governmental
structure and an overthrow of the
very ideals which led to the revolu-
ton. independence and the formation
OF the United States''

Three Houses Burn, Hotel Injured.

On last Sunday night a fire broke sutin tho
the building owned by Mr.. Campbell, and
before the flames could be checked. two store
rooms and the post-ofice were reduced 70
ashes.
The building owned and occupied by Mr..
Campbell was divided and the other half oc-
eupied by Levy, the clothier. The Levys
were asleep up stairs over their store room
and were awaken by the smell of smoke, they
just escaped in time to save q scoching, the
fire, 1t IL thought, caught somewhere near the
partition and was burning flercely when the
Levys awoke.
In addition to the Campbell building, the
store formerly occupied by the Kerr Furniture
Co. and lately usen Is q warehouse for the
mineral spring water, was destroyed together
with the Post Office. The fire parched the
Hotel considerably, and had not the citizens
Of the town fought desperately 1t would also
have bee burned.
1t 10 understood that there is no insurance or
the Campbell building, the policy having ex-
pired the day before the fire occurred.
The other buildings were owned by the
Calhoon Fails Investment company and were
insured.
