ism. and press agency" according to
quoted statements of Professor Geo.
Davidson, an author on Geography
and Astronomy.
Professor Davidson declared II to
be his belief that both Peary and
Cook reached the pole, for the rea-
son that he could not imagine a sane
man foolish enough to make such an
assertion without proof. He said:
Much glory of having accom-
plished the feat of reaching the pole,
however. has been dimmed, think,
by the action of the explorers them
selves, to say nothing OF their re-
spective friends.
THE Buffalo Bill-like action OF Dr.
Cook in Copenhagen would suggest
n press agents preparation for n lee
ture tour. think that II he had
attired himself In the clothes OF civ
illZatlon and shaved himself so as TO
look like an American citizen, which
he could have easily done on board
the ship, his return would have been
mnch more dignified, and would not
tend to make his native land look ri-
diculols In the eyes OF the world.

Seeing that the commonwealth
founded by William Penn and his de-
scendants has been the shrine of the
high tariff policy of government, it re-
mains to be assumed that the benefi-
cial effects for breadwinners ascribed
to that system are to be seen there as
nowhere else. If the protested aim to
levy high duties in order to contribute
to the welfare of wage earners is sin
cere and genuine, Pennsylvania ought
to be paradise for the horny-handed

pare with the reality Why. no state

CO Company Any More.
During recent years the opponents
of labor unions have had frequent
spasms over the injustice of the boy
colts of organized labor. The present
the frequent appeals being made to
the courts to restrain members of or
ganized labor from oycotting certain
firms it is of more than ordinary inter-
est to note that the United States gov
eminent has undertaken to do a little
boycotting of it's own against the to-
bacco trust, the recognized head of
which is the American Tobacco Com
pany
The boycott is inaugurated by the
department from whose headquarters
letters have been sent to all purchas-
ing agents of that branch of the
United States government instructing
them not to purchase any more sup
plies from the American Tobacco COM
pany. The order is made sweeping
and goes on to specify that under no
conditions shall goods be purchased di-
rectly or Indirectly from the head OF
the tobacco trust nor from any of its
agents.
During the past twenty-five years
the American Tobacco company has
sold the government all the tobacco
it has purchased. Now the government
has declared a boycott against this
trust, being prompted to do SO by the
insolent manner in which the tobacco
trust has disregarded the provisions
of the antitrust law and other laws
of the government. When the govern
ment found its hands tied and unable
to enforce its own laws against the to-

Tobacco Workers Demand More Pay
And Walk Out to Get 1t.

Since the passage of the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, which had ia
vorable effect on Philippine tobacco
and cigars, there has been extraor-
binary demand for tobacco workers
in Manila Most of the factories have
been running overtime with extra
shifts of workmen in anticipation of
a big demand from the United States
The workers have now taken the op-
portunity to demand increased wages,
and it is reported that 500 men are
on strike at the Oriente factory, which
is the largest of all the exporters.
