TON OF REvOLvERS
CONF|SCATED At

Vigorous Measures Taken by
Pennsylvania ConstabuIary.
EVERY MAN is SEARCHED
Street Railway Service Suspended
Until Traction Company Is
Guaranteed Protection

Pittsburg Aug 24.-With the state
constabulary patrolling its streets In
force holding up and searching every
pedestrian for arms, and dispensing
crowds in their initial stage; with
smoke arising from three of the
smokestacks at the plant of the
Pressed Steel Car Company, and with
several families in mourning, the
strikers of Mckee Rocks realize that
they nave virtually lost their fight
Smarting under the death of two of
their number and the perhaps fatal
injury to two others, the constables
received orders to let no two men
stand talking with each other and to
keep all moving-and they did. Every
person venturing on the streets was
held up at the point of a gun by one
trooper and searched for weapons.
AS almost every person in tne yicini-
ty of McKees Rocks has been heavi-
ly armed, the result was that almost
ton of revolvers was confiscated.
AS a further precaution against dis
order. and to prevent further loss of
life, traffic on all the trolley car lines
in the strike zone is suspended. J. ID.
Gallery, President of the Pittsburg
Street Railways Company announced
that his company is and has been for
some time unable to protect its pas
sengers from the strikers and that
the service will not be resumed until
the trouble is over or Sheriff Gumbert
sees fit to man each car with Deputy
Sheriffs, armed with rifles.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1909
DEFIEs THE COURTS

Samuel Gompers in his address
at Toronto said in part:
"Concretely stated, the decision
of the court declares that no mat.
ter whether the injunction of JUS
tice Gould was right or wrong,
valid or void, we were compelled
to obey. Against that concept, at
least for myself, enter most
emphatic protest. When judge
80 far transcends his authority,
and assumes functions entirely be-
yond his power and jurisdiction,
when Judge will set himself up
as the highest authority in the
land, invading Constitutionally
guaranteed rights of citizens, when
judge will go so far in opinion,
decision and action that even
judges of the Court of Appeals
have felt called upon to character
ize his action "unwarranted" and
foolish" under such circumstan-
90 it is the duty of the citizen to
refuse obedience and to take what
ever consequences may ensue.
ut is common knowledge that a
judge has issued an injunction
against municipal officers enjoin-
ing them from performing their
duties in the enactment of laws.
Assume that judge will 80 far
forget himself as to issue an in
junction prohibiting a legislature,
or Congress itself, from enacting
laws. Will it be oontended that
obedience must followP Let al
judge issue an injunction enjoin-
ing the President Of the United
States from performing the duties
OF his Office. Does it follow that
the Chief Executive of our nation
must yield obedience, and perhaps
thereby fail to perform the duties
OF his great Office, to the injury of
the country Were the matter
involved merely material, or Of
such character that time would
not destroy, the situation would
be vastly different. All realize
that for the orderly continuance
and development of civilized So
ciety obedience to the orders Of
the court is necessary, and to that
there would be no dissenting
voice. But l repeat and empha.
size this fact, that the doctrine
that the citizen must yield obedi-
ence TO every order of the court,
Notwithstanding that the order
transcends inherent, natural hu.
man rights guaranteed by the
Constitution Of our country, is
vicious and repugnant to liberty
and human freedom, and that il il
a duty, an imperative duty. to pro-
test. The history Of the human
race has been full Of tyranny and
the denial to the people Of the
right OF expressing freely by
speech or in the press their opin.
ions. After our people established
. government they recalled that
they bad omitted 10 safeguard this
vital right In framing our Consti-
tuition. Therefore, the first amend.
ment to that instrument was that
gussantseing the right Of freedom
Of speech aud press. That means
something. We do not need this

An Auburn man has COW whose

the Lewiston (Me.) journal. A month

A week Of depression followed. An
other week OF airy and lightsome
frivolity seemed to follow. and now
she would seem depressed. He has
been watching her. and has just dis
covered that she has developed a fas-
sion for literature as a diet. Ia other
words, she chews the old pamphlets
and newspapers. He has found out
another thing; viz. that her moods
vary as to the amount and character
of Illustrations consumed@athe more
the articles are illustrated the more
ezhilafatiOn for the COW; the more
solid the matter the greater the area
of depression. For instance, a copy
of the Congressional Record will re-

ture to sub-normal. while copy of

STALK AND sLAY THE ENEMY
Vendetta In Montenegro an iilustra-
tlon o. Tire Eternal Unrest Of
the Balkans.

To listen TO Bulgar singing is to
make ones flesh creep or want to
weep. The centuries OF cruel oppres-
sion are only too manifest In Bull
garian music and words, but a
Montenegro grows restless over his
songs, and curses the powers that for
bid him to emulate his forefsthers'
deeds en- mRsse across the frontier.
He does so whenever he can, but only
in twos and tlrees.
When the Montenegro goes raiding
across the border 1t is really a more
sporting affair than the well-equipped
and organized outings of the Bulgar
~Comitatchis.- With him 1t is usually
q private act Of revenge, or vendetta,
to which he invites one or two friends.
Then they steal across the border at

Kill him and then make tracks home
ward with the whole district at their
heels. Perhaps the method of killing
is not up to the standard of western
sport, for they shoot their victim 'sit-
ting so to ST TX. and do not give him
chance, but as 1t is the recognized
system on bo.h sides little can be
said.
This custom makes men very wary,
and the STRANGER can appreciate the
reason when b sees a plowman, for
instance, atter1ing to his duties with
a rife slung over his back But in
spite of this laxity of observance of

NO ROOM FOR THE GUTTER.
Business World Has No Place for the
Man Who Is Unable 20
Hold On.

Many business men fail because
they are cutters. Il may be that
more fail for this reason than any
other Whatever the proportion, the
number is too large. Men can accom-
plish more than they ever dreamt Ct,
In most cases. 1t Is mainly question
Of holding on when man Is engaged
IN pursuit into which his physical
and mental qualities fit. If plants sue
cumbed to every Whit OF biting air In
the raw days of spring and shfiveied
up mt every drought of summer, thefe
would be no fruit. Nature points the
way to holding on with grim tenacity
and left alone the face Of the earth
Is smothered IN shrub and flower and
seed.
In the fields OF industry Thomas A.
Edison Is a splendid illustration of
these truths, declares a writer in the
Bookkeeper.. He says: '1n scientific
work, as In oil other work, the chief
factor OF success is the power of stick
Ing to q thing. l attribute all that
have accomplished to the fact that
hold on where most persons get dis
couraged." Grant won his battles by
holding on. not by superior military
tactics. Examples are as numerous
as successful men.
Not all may succeed in the same de-
gree, since men are differently con-
stituted and labor under varying con-
ditions. but a doubling. shifting. yield
ing course leads nowhere. No sensi-
BILE man would make a mistake of
travelling east to reach a western

pose. But II Is not only necessary to
be sure that you are right and then
go ahead, but TO keep going.

SMALL GIRLS AGAIN TO RULE
English Fashion journal sees End Of
the Domination Of the Tall
Woman.

Brigades of exceptionally tall girls
practically rule hospitality all over
the country, declares the English
Lady's Pictorial. They need not be
pretty or intelligent, for they are ex-
pected to do nothing except to be
tall.
A tall girl season now means that
every hostess must endeayor to pro
duce a predominating impression OF
tallness at her parties. Tall dinners
and tall dances become a social ambi-
ton; small men find themselves sud
denly useful as an effective means OF
creating a contrast when semi-Ama-
IONS must be entertained.
There is no limit which can be re
garded as reasonable when once the
craze for tallness commences; yet al
the moment when with that mysteri
Gus facility of the feminine nature tall
girls seem to be looming up in all
directions the edict goes forth that
her reign is over and the little WON
an is in the ascendant.
Men would seem to have rather In
geniously guarded against fashions in
height by becoming almost uniformly
of medium stature. The present pre-
diction of smaller men need not be
taken seriously; from every point Of
view moderation in inches has beer
found satisfactory, now that We never
kno wfrom one year to another wheth
er woman is going to be ridiculouslJ
small or absurdly tall.

Mosquito Coast.

The Mosquito coast is a strip of ter
ritory lying on the east coast of
Nicaragua. 1t was discovered by Co.
lumbus in 1902. and was claimed by
Spain. although 1t was never con-
quered by that country. During the
seventeenth century the Mosquito
coast was the headquarters of the
buccaneers, and in 1850 became sub
ject TO Great Britain with non-fulfill-
ment of the Bulwer-Ciayton treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, these two nations agreed not
to occupy or fortify or colonize or as
sumo or exercise any dominion over
any part of Central America. In 1855
the United States charged Great
Britain with non-fulfillment of the
treaty. and In 1859 the English agreed
with certain reservations, to cede the
territory TO Honduras. Nicaragua now
claims the sovereignty of this terri
tory. The Mosquitoes. who now num-
Der only about 10000. were at one
time able to muster an army of as
600 men.

The edible snail, which furnishes a
