THE WRATH OF THE TRAIL.

"HERE'S a grass grown trail near
the shining rail where the
rains go whizzing by
Where the smoke from the overland
fast express is spread like a
veil In the sky.
It's the trail where the stage went run
bling through in the days of the real
frontier.
But where is the driver who braved the
path and whose stout heart knew no
fear?
Twas a p~erilous trip that the prairie
ship mad across the high. brown
plains.
But has any one ever heard men tell of a
coward who held the reins?
There are plenty of tales OF heroes work
and of passengers saved from death.
But when did a driver ever quail in the
~fiercest billiards. breath?
So go to the trail when the stars are pale
and tits scarce an hour till dawn.
And youth see a ghostly stage fit past. by
four ghost horses drawn.
And high on the box sits the ghost of q
man. and he throws yon al eere
hail
1t is thus hat the stage goes by today ON
the grass grown overland trail.

All. there be souls none understand

Then we look wise at this and frown.
We cry, "Fool!' and cry. Take hold

Unanchored ships. they blow and blow,
Sail to and fro and then go down
In nknow seas that none shall know
Without one ripple or renown.

They seem to only live and die.

Lo. there be g~entlest souls sea blown

And oft OF this the reason is
They touch on fairer shores than this.

Military Men Puzzled
Over Gompers' Attitude

Lieut.. Col. Erasmus NJ Weaver, Coast
Artillery Corps. U. 8. A., chief Of the
bureau Of militia affairs Of the War De-
partment, who has Just returned to
Washington from San Francisco. where
he went to attend the Interstate National
Guard Association meeting, today dis
cussed President Gompers' reported OBJ
lection to permitting a company Of the
National Guard of the District to take
part in the labor parade last evening.
Il am at loss to understand why
President Gompers should have objected
to a National Guard company taking part
in the parade held in his honor" Col.
Weaver said. THE organized militia of
the United States 10 body Of citizen
soldiers provided for by the Constitution
of the United States and the laws of
Congress enacted pursuant to the author
ity granted by the Constitution, for the
defense Of the nation against invasion or
Instruction, and for the maintenance of
law and order throughout the United
States.
while It has been brought to the
attention Of the military authorities OF
the United States, and also Of the several
states, that there appears to be spirit
of antagonism toward the organised mil
itia on the part of some Of the labor
unions and some Of the labor leaders,
we are completely at a loss to understand
why there should be any such hostility.
It has been supposed that this tendency:
that had been In evidence In marked
way some years back, had lapsed, and
that the trend Of sentiment among labor
leaders and labor unions had lattepiy
been toward the support of the obJec-
itves Of an efficient citizen soldiery.
This alleged act of President Com
pers, however. would indicate that the
hostility still exists. and indeed his &C.
ton in itself constitutes the most fragrant
case that has come to my attention.
The matter has been considered OF
such import In the state of New York
as to call for a special enactment
The sections Of the New York state
statutes referred to by Col. Weaver make
it a misdemeanor for labor union to
the state militia or of discriminating
against them in any manner.
One of the high officers of the War De-
partment. who did not care to have his
name mentioned. said: u cannot under
stand the object of labor's hostility to the
militia. What would they substitute In
its place? Surely the citizen soldiers are
the most democratic kind of military or
ganization that we could have. II the
labor unions succeed In their campaign
against the militia, it will result either
in greatly increasing the regular army or
in the creation OF state constabulary, a.
in Pennsylvania. It has been discussed
among military men whether It would
not be better for the states to organize
constabulary in order to prevent the
militia troops from coming In contact
with organized labor"

DELAYS THE TOBACCO SUIT.
Attorney General Has Trust Prosecu
ton POSTPONED.

Attorney General Wickersham asked
the United States Supreme Court today
to postpone hearing in the celebrated ITO
bacco trust" case. as the government is
not yet ready. The cases were reassigned
for a hearing December Is.
This action on the part OF the govern
ment came as great surprise. The cases
were to have come on for hearing today
or tomorrow.
Counsel for the tobacco company were
in court. Two Of counsel for the foreign
company are here from England to attend
the hearing.
Counsel were unwilling to consent to
postponement, II they could have their
way, as they had gone to much trouble
and pains to be ready at this time: The
Attorney General was insistent, however,
and the court acquiesced.
Justice Moody would not sit In the
cases In any event. 1t was stated. as ne
had participated in the preparation or
the preliminaries OF the government
suit while Attorney General.
Justice Peckham, moreover. Is absent
There Is desire to have him participate
In the hearing and decision Of these
cases.
An interesting contingency now arises
II Justice Peckham comes back to sit IN
the cases, and there are no other changes
in the court, the court would consist Of
eight members In event of an even
division the lower court would be at
frmed.
The decision to ask for postponement
was reached last night at a conference
held at the Department Of Justice. This
afternoon the following announcement
was made by. the Attorney General:
The appeals OF the cases of the United
States agt. American Tobacco Company
ct al, were this morning. on the appli.
cation Of the Attorney General, reasstgned
for December Is. proximo. the reasons
assigned being, in part. the absence or
Mr.. Justice Peckham. and in part the
fact that the Attorney Generals engage
ments since the adjournment Of Congress
have prevented him from making as thor
ough a preparation to participate in the
argument Of the appeals as he considered
the Importance OF the cases required"
James C. McReynolds. former assistant
attorney general OF the Department of
Justice, has been the special attorney for
the government in these cases for two
years and Is prepared to appear for the
government, but Mr.. Wickersham desires
to handle the cases personally In the
United States Supreme Court.
The post ponement will give him time to
90 into the cases fully with Mr.. Mercy
nolds. who has been here a week, and
also to prepare his argument.
