Captain Judge Senator Clad Hamil-
ton. Here are string of we'll de-
served and honorably worn titles,
ranging from the cane-brakeS of the
Philippines to the Kansas legislature,
but it's not of titles. but of the man.
Clad Hamilton has lived among us
for long time, and during that time,
no one has ever impugned his mo-
tives and escaped with it. His views
may not always coincide with the
views of the Multitude. but the Null
t1tude never charges him with hav-
ing an axe to grind Several years
ago, Clad Hamilton held the position
of police magistrate, and during this
time. attempted to reform the noble
aborigines from the Reservation. It
was his custom to soak the rustic
redSkin about twice the average price
per souse, the intent being the re-
formation of the subject. The system
had Statutory effect, but raised
question in the minds of some of the
onlookers, who reasoned thus: IAN
Injun is an Injun. for a. that. so
what's the use? He will come to the
village and become boiling spiff1icated
regardless of Judge Hamilton and his
system, and it is not right to trim the
gentle son of the plains (this cogno-
men was sometimes amended in parD
for ten bones per drunk, when the
regulating jag price is but five
ducats-" But with military precision.

DEFENDS THE BOYCOTT.
Gompers Says: Dog That Can Bite Is
Safe From Kicks

New York, Feb. las good men
have been in Jail as any of the three of
us. If they want their pound of flesh
they may have it. but they'll find no
yellow streaks in it, President Sam
ueI Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor told the Ethical Social
league this at a meeting and the audi
ence cheered Mr.. Gompers' subject
gress-" but the greater part of his
speech was a defense of the boycott
and guarded arraignment of the court
that recently sentenced him to a year
in Jail.
IF there is to come better day
said Mr.. Gompers, lis it to come by a
cataclysm, a revolution, or by quiet,
orderly trades union movement? If by
legislation or by judicial Interpretation
of laws trades unions are to be out
1awed il we are not to be permitted to
carry on our work for uplift, then
what? Labor is not typified by the
demands nothing but justice and
equality
1--WE have been trying to get legisla-
ton that will treat men and women
differently from coal and pork. and
they accuse us of wanting class and
special legislation. The words come
with poor grace considering the class
and special legislation of the last half
century. See how easily great cor
poration gets rid of a $29, 900 900 fine
I'm regard to strikes and the boycott,
I do not like strikes, but a dog that
can bite is safe from many a kick.
There is no power like a we'll organized

fer to give my trade rather than to
others When two people agree to do
this it is a boycott. Our forefathers
wouldn't buy English tea or buy from
those who bought it-talk about secOn-
Diary boycotts.
They tell us the boycott is a foreign
invention. It's not; it's revolutionary
American. From Adams time it has
been a natural weapon of mankind and
for a court to throw itself into a spasm
because the word is not euphoniOus is
almost incomprehensible to rational
beings.
What property right has any con-
Germ in your patronage? You can

that right.

my sanity to repeat again and again, -
continued the speaker impressively,

There are several reasons for calling
Mr.. Hughes a distinguished visitor. The
principal reason is, that he is an ex-
ceptionally fine specimen of that Curl
Gus combination-Englis gentleman
and American citizen. Rega rdless of
the fact that he belongs to a family OF
peers, and that his father. Sir Thomas
Hughes, NJ. P. was the author of Tom
Brown of Rugby, our Kansas Hughes
is one of us. He is the kind of real

soldierly bearing add to the likeness.

cheerfully admits that he is still Pop

The propagation of cattle and the

in Topeka, and makes new ones at
every visit
Hughes is decidedly democratic now,
so democratic that he outdoes the most
democratic American. 1t is told that
year or two ago he visited his aristo-
cratic relatives in England and created
quite sensation by refusing to dress
for dinner and becoming chummy with
the butler. On one occasion his rela-
