he said. "Unwise labor legislation,
however, could quickly check this
trade uplift."
Referring to the efforts of labor
leaders to secure the enactment of
anti-iniunction legislation President
Van Cleave said:
I'VE defeated them in Washington;
then the conspirators massed their
forces III Chicago and attempted to
brighten the Republican national COLI

tioning their undemocratic, anti-repub-
lican and un-American propaganda.
We defeated them there also. AS the
plotters then contrived to place their
doctrine of class favors into the Den
yer platform and as they obtained
formal endorsement for them from
the Democratic candidate we had no
alternative except TO throw our sup
port to the Chicago nominee. And we
have excellent reasons for knowing
our work told decisively in the gen.
eral result.

BEGINS HIS TERM IN PRISON
Captain Peter c. Hams Taken to Sing
Sinu.

Sing.
New York, May 19.-Captain Peter
G.. Hams, Jr., was taken from the
Queens county jail to Sing Sing prison
to begin what will be a term of at
least eight years unless an appeal
taken by his counsel results in new
trial. No effort was made to prevent
his transfer to Sing Sing. Eugene N.
L. Young, one of Hams attorneys,
said an appeal would be taken to the
higher courts in the regular way.
When Captain Hams left the jail in
custody of keeper his bearing was
not materially changed from his first
appearance in the courtroom He
walked beside the keeper in dazed
manner and showed no evidence of
emotion. On the way to the Grand
Central station he neither recognized
nor spoke to any one. None of his
relatives was at the Jail when he
departed.

These are made possible by the pur-
chase of the Wisconsin Central by the
Canadian Pacific. One of these
branches will be cutoff intended to
shorten the distance between Mime

the company in a position to bid for
both freight and passenger traffic be-

New York, May ia bread fam.
Inc among the zoe, 900 residents Of the
East Side was inaugurated when more
than 400 bakeries closed down. The
trouble started with the increase in
the price Of wheat recently and was
augmented by the coincident strike OF
the bakery employees on the East Side
At a meeting of the bakery owners
1t was unanimously decided to close
al Of their shops, numbering more
than 400. The police, hearing of this
detailed an unusually large number OF
men an duty in that section during
the hours when housewives usually
visit the bakeries. There was fear
that the riotous scenes Of a few years
ago, when the price Of meat was
raised, might be repeated.
Bakers who are not affected by the
action of the meeting will not be able
/ to supply one-tenth Of the demand for
bread in the. crowded East Side and
therefore it was believed that there
would be an unprecedented demand
for -four and bread from other sec

"GRANNY" AND SUNDAY BALL.

This, from the Cass Lake Times,
is rather refreshing:
Our good friend Bro. Pease of
the Anoka Union is greatly exercised
because the last legislature sane
toned Sunday baseball playing, and
the governor failed to use his reserve
power to prevent. Baseball on Sun
day won't harm you, brother, if you
stay away from it; your honor and
morals will not be smirched if you
stay in the Union office all day."

THE school code bill which was passed
by the last legislature and was vetoed by
Governor Stuart, contained a provision
that any school teacher who contracted
to teach for one district and then went to
another because an increase of salary was
offered, should be barred from teaching
anywhere in the State during the re-
msinder of that school year. Such an
amendment to the school laws is needed
in the opinion of the Punxy Spirit, as the
code OF honor among teachers in this re-
gard appears TO be very lax.

Oh, great Redwood, l question thee
And a~nxiously await thy reply.
How many years has IL been, big tree,
Since thy head was pointed to the skyf
Did any man know thy conception
Or view thee, a tender shoot put forthH
Could his vivid imagination -
Picture thy marvellous power ofgrowthf
What great effort was by thee put forth
To expand the trunk ana rear thy head
Or strike deep the root to bear thy growth
Aud on what, l pray thee, hast thou fedS
Who gave the strength to resist the gale
And still point like a dart, towards the
sky7
Great tree In your answer do not fail
That in detail shall be thy reply.
THE TREES REPLY.
Listen, while my answer I'm giving.
By counting my years ofgrowth you'll
see
That the oldest thing on earth, living,
Is even now standing before thee.
1t will doubtless help you to comprehend
When the marvellous truth l unfold,
That when Christ walked here among men
l was more than a thousand years old.
Yes, o Questioner, at has been mine
To see the Cliff Dwellers come aud 60,
Lived while Earth's season of sunshine
Was three thousand times changed to
snow.
Have seen new islands rise in the sea
While some noted ones had to go,
And new mountains rear high DER me
BY stress OF uplifting volcano"
You ask If man foretold that my age
Would become a marvel of the land
To be pondered on by every sage
As in vain l try to comprehend.
No, If In that day there be N man
He could but class me with other tree
For why think, in trying to understand,
What the Creator alone could foresee.
For myself, l spin not, neither toll,
But supinely in His hands | lie.
Unseen by me. growth was in the soil.
When my roots strike deep, l ask not
'why?'
How l stand erect to face a gale
In its giant might from off the see,
l can only say, l must prevail,
For prevailing strength was given me.
Thus In me you view the finished works
OF obedience to Natures plan.
In my creation no weakness turks,
Yet my strength | cannot understand,
