JOHANN MARTIN SCHLEYER.

Those enthusiastic linguists who see
in Esperanto the universal language
of the future Will find little consola-
ton in the life story of Johann Martin
Schleyer, who was born in Overland.
Baden, Sevnty- eight years ago.
Schleyer was the inventor of Volapuk.
a so-called universal tongue which
had its origin only thirty years ago but
is already numbered among the ueaa
languages.
Schleyer was educated at the Uni
versity of Frieburg, and at the age of
20 became priest of the Roman Cath
Ole church. From his youth he was
fond of languages, and when 80 years
old he was one of the best practical
linguists of Europe, having some
twenty-five languages at his tongues
end, and a fair acquaintance with as
many more.
Being in his own person veritab1e
human tower of babel, Schleyer final
ly became convinced that the confu-
sion Of tongues instituted by Jehovah
was no longer necessary. and was q
stumbling block in the way of human
progress and universal brotherhood.
Thirty years ago he conceived the idea
of common language, to be learned
by the educated of all nations, and
Volapuk was the result

A FEW MORE.

Foley Independent: We forgot to
make mention last week OF the Greater
Population issue OF Little Falls
Herald, and hasten to do SO at this
time. The entire issue was replete
with interesting information which set
forth the advantages of Morrison
county, and Little Falls IN particular.
Handsome half.tone illustrations were
interspersed with the reading matter
ana that it will accomplish its
n1sslon.thero is not the least doubt
Holdingford Advertiser: The Ad
vertlser IS in receipt of a copy of the
Greater Population Edition. recently
published by the Little Falls Herald.
The number contains several extra
pages, is neatly gotten up typographi-
caiiy, ana is very ably edited, all
which of course IS but characteristic of
that paper. The edition also was
replete with original haiftone pictures
showing what they have '.over in
Morrison county, AS whole the
paper was a '.boomer' and should
stand as a credit to the county Of
Morrison, the city OF Little Falls, and
the enterprising publishers Of the
Herald. SG5

Hon. julius Schmahl. keeper Of the
Great Seal of Minnesota, the Oracle
of Redwood, and Fountain of Con-
servative Republlcanism, mas made a
great discovery. 1t is that the Payne
Aldrich tariff caused the sun to shine.
the rain to fall, the seed to fructify,
the soil to give its strength to the
Minnesota crops of 1909. When the
farmer this week thinks over causes
for Thanksgiving, and remembers the
harvests that came from his skill and
toll applied to the soil and the favor
ing conditions of weather that were so
material to his success, instead of
thinking of the Oliver of All Good,
he must thank the Payne Aldrich
tariff. julie says the tariff did it, He
announced this doctrine to the Eighth
ward republican club of St. Paul, said
to be very delightful organization.
And really, after this, there is
nothing more to say. Anyone who
believes that,-and Nelson and Clapp
and eight congressman appear not to
believe it-has capacity to swallow
anything.

Attorney Kellogg is receiving praise
on account of the success of the suit to
dissolve the Standard OIL company.
And no one can fairly object. But that
IS no reason for making Kellogg u.
s. senator. He has lately been defend
ing railroad corporations in several
suits. Kellogg was hired by the
government presumably because he
was an able lawyer, not because he
had record as an anti monopollst.
His firm has defended some OF the
largest tax-dodgers in Minnesota, for
years, and looked after steel trust
interests. If the winning of the
Standard oil case is on the principle
that while the light holds out to
burn, the worst of sinners may re-
turn, then Kellogg may be good
republican material for the senator
ship.

Staples Headlight: The famous
remark, The public be DID, should
be revised to read, the public don't care
a d-m. For proof refer to the cleo
ton returns from Cleveland, Ohio,
from which you will see that one of
the most honorable and unseltish re-
formers ever appearing in American
public life has gone down to defeat
while fighting the peoples battles.
The career OF Tom L. johnson presents
little encouragement to any public
official to lay awake o'nights scheminR
in the interests of the public. The
people simply desert their champion
standard at the very moment when
their help is most needed. Tom John
son is by no means. the only public
man who has felt the serpent tooth of
public ingratitude. but he IS one Of
the most unseltish, able and honorable
men who ever Unlisted his all in a
losing fight with organized and
entrenched monopoly.

Us SAUCE FOR 3ANDER STILL
SAUCE FOR GOOSE? III

The Labor World a short time ago
the hat manufacturers Of Danbury,
Conn, came to an agreement with the
Hatters Union to settle the strike.
| Almost Immediately the Associated
manufacturers brought suit against
the Danbury manufacturers for viola
ton of &c rtain terms Of agreement.
It appears that the hat manu-
facturers have union. They sign
contracts and agreements and put up
bonds to abide by the decision of the
association
| It is a closed shop and the Manu-
faturers' union have decided to BOYCOTT
union labor.
Attachments aggregating more than
$500, 600 are being placed upon the real
estate and bank accounts of the
Danbury bosses.
You will remember that Samuel
Gompers was enjoined for boycottlng
the Buck Stove and Range company.
He and his associates were held fol-
contempt of court and may this
winter be sent to prison.
They were held in contempt of court
because they informed union men that
the Buck stoves and ranges were
made by non union labor.
This is the sole offense. Now, con
slider these facts: .--
The Hatters Association agrees not
to employ union labor. They not only
make such an agreement, but they
enforce the agreement by heavy
financial penalties,
They not only demand that the
members of their union shall blacklist
the Hatters' union, but that they shall
boycott to destruction all union labor.
And that is not all. They not only
use the blacklist and the boycott, but
they use the power of the state and
the courts to enforce the blacklist ano
the boycott
Samuel Gompers never sought to spy
out members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor who bought stoves ano
ranges.
He never endeavored to have unior
man expelled from his union for buy
ing Buck stove and range.
He never hailed a single man into
court to punish him for violating the
unfair list of the American Fedora
ton of Lator.
But the courts drag Gompers and his
associates before them, read them ar
Insulting TRADE and sentenced them tc
prison for doing what the courts are
now assisting the hat makers to do ii
blacklisting and boycotting labor.

The report that Gen. Luke Wright
refused to ride in the same carriage
with Taft on the occasion OF a parade
IN New Orleans would tend to confirm
the report-which is an open secret in
Washington Taft acceded to a
request of Roosevelt that Gen. Wright
be retained as Secretary OF War or
appointed to the supreme bench and
changed his mind when the power
came into his hands. 1t would seem
that Roosevelt discovered new side
of the Taft character after the elec-
ton: the Wright incident being an
example OF it. The discovery is
said to have led to an open rupture
between the two and Roosevelt left
the country thoroughly disguised
with the weakness or duplicity of the
man whom he had so long held in so
high esteem. The story is strangely
consistent with the max cup of the
cabinet, seven corporation lawyers,
with Mr.. Taft's support of Cannon for
speaker, his Indifference to the forma
tion of the tariff bill, his efforts to
induce members to vote for 1T. and his
defense of it when passed, with his
approval of Ballinger, his support of
ship subsidy and his evident alliance
with the Aldrlch wing of the party. -

The editor of the Beacon Is
member of the republican state com.
mittee, virile writer. and republican
to the core. How he could expect
anything different from Taft, whose
affiliations have always been of the
corporate kind, and whose decisions on
the bench were always trust Favored
and against the people, passes our
comprehension. Perhaps his eyes are
open now.-Monticello Times

Mr.. BRYAN Is ALL RIGHT.

MIR. Bryan is naturally nettled by
the charge that he has improperly
employed his political, honors for
personal gain. Notoriety was thrust
upon him by his first nomination for
the presidency Is years ago, and his
subsequent attempts to reach the
White House have kept HIM before the
American people. Defeat has been his
portion at the polls, but his failure
has been an honorable one, and he is
rightly regarded as a representative
American. The people have thronged
to listen to his lectures. and have
bought his books and subscribed to
his weekly paper, and he has made
money in entirely legitimate fashion.
He would have been more than human
had he turned Fortune away when
she was knocking so loudly at his
door. The gods refused him the
presidency, but lndulgently gave HIM
"a handsome competency.
Public positions in the northern
republic often lead to lucrative posi-.
t10ns in the world OF business
diplomats 60 into the law after
winning public notice and accumulate
fortunes secretaries and assistant
secretaries of the treasury have re-
peatedly been snapped up as heads of
trust companies in the large cities ;
their abilities have not always been of
the highest, but they had an lad
vert1sement, - and they were worth
much money to their new employers.
President Harrison on leaving the
White House re-entered law practice,
finding his presidential fame source
of profit; so also President Cleveland,
after his second term. became con-
nected with the big life insurance
companies as sort of adviser. at a
handsome salary He was not an
insurance expert, but his sound sense,
honesty and prestige were what was
wanted by the magnates of that branch
Of BUSINESS.
Mr.. Bryan is not plutocrat; he has
a neat fortune, and made it in an
honorable way. He was not in
demand for business, though we
believe one financial concern wanted
him; his natural line of effort was as
public speaker. He has done much
speaking without pay or reward; he
has done his share of good and morally
elevating work, and only the cnurlish
will grudge him his not dazzling
success. From the Mexican Herald.

record in the legislature which may or
may not help him, according to the
viewpoint. Mr.. Lee was prominent
figure in the party years ago. If his
own county will 'stand hitched' fol-
him, he might get some of the
neighboring counties. He is not a
tyrO in politics, and with half a
start, could make things interesting.
It does not seem, however, that the
Sixth district would present two
candidates, but rather unite on one.
Mr.. Young would have the backing OF
the sincere temperance element. and a
county option majority In the con.
vention would be more likely to turn
to him than anyone else. At the same
time the anti county option folks,
who showed their power IN the con-
will never stand for Young. Mr..
lverson has not received as much
mention this year SO far as he has in
other years, out it he consented to
he candidate, would be in our
Judgment the most dangerous man
Governor Eberhart could meet, and
would be formidable candidate IT
nominated. 1t would be no picnic
to defeat Iverson, with the best man
the democrats could put forward
Governor Eberhart has the advantage
of position, and by the time the
convention meets Will have q very
large acquaintance. He is doing a
great deal of talking to all sorts
and conditions of men. and will be
constantly in the public eye. He has
made several excellent suggestions.
and some that are startling. and is
pretty good politician. He will not
let go without a struggle. and all
signs point to a contest. Long before
the convention convenes, the people
will desire information as to what the
candidates think of the insurgent con-
gressmen and the policies they stand
for, and there will be questions asked
about county option, the tonnage tax
and other matters, and answers will be
required. Evasion will not do, and
the candidate who IS frank is going to
be respected and will have an ad-
vantage over those who sidestep the
issues.

Bryan's Commoner urges young men
to get into the political game by
studying up on republican promises
and republican fulfillment and max
ing their findings known. It Is
recommended that the late republican
platform and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill be read at meetings in country
precincts and the contrast between
promise and fulfllment pointed out
In this way it is thought that great
many prospective republican memb ers
OF congress would be elected to stay at
home and their places in the national
capt. i be filed by posted, clean.
minded young men from the demo-
cratic ranks. The idea is good one
and if acted upon would be sure to
bring good results to the whole

In a dispassionate recital OF facts in
Golfers magazine, Mr.. CLAWS,
special agent to investigate the Cum
bingham and claims in Alaska, puts
not only, Balllinger in a hole, but
leaves President Taft in a sorry posi-
tion for trying to assure the public
that Ballinger' acts were all right.
The CLAWS story shows how he did
his best to head off this gigantic coal
land steal, department officials calling
him datfy on the subject. BalIinger,
in particular, being annoyed by
CLAWS. for his friends were likely to
be baked by the thorough work of
this impartial Investigator. CLAWS
story iustifes him in reporting the
case over the head of BalIinger direct
to the president. It lost him his
place. But this man, determined to
thwart the loot by powerful interests,
went ahead undeterred by what might
happen to HIM personally. This man
CLAWS seems ungrateful for all we
have done for him. wrote bennett of
the land department to Balllnger. It
may have seemed ungrateful to them,
but the obligations Of gratfulpess
cease when your benefactors fail to
be true to the public that pays them.
