so-Called "slight" to Germany.
From the New Iork Sun.

II this government were disposed to
enter into very delicate particulars it
could easily explain why Our feet did
not visit Germany this year. We make
bold to suggest that the feet was limited
to French and British ports because it
had only a beggarly amount for Official
entertainment. Everybody has seen the
lavish Inequalities showered on our on
GERS and men in England and in France,
but only a few know that Admiral
Schroeder had less than 5000 with which
thin pat Of butter to spread over so much
bread. It would have been thinner still,
almost attenuated. in fact, had the slice
been enlarged.
So Germany was left out this time,
for that reason and for no other.

A Difficult Public.

We used to scold at Uncle Jim
Because he would crate,
In language vehemently grim.
Upon affairs Of state.
Eeh when some kindlier tale he'd tell.
Our careless hearts to touch,
We said, Although he means right well,
He really talks too much"
So Uncle Jim Just cut 1t out
And never said WORD
For months, mid scenes of stress and
doubt,
And then this cry was heard:
"He ought to help his fellow-men
And call somebody's BLUM
He's got ability, but then,
He doesn't talk enough

Labor Uniionist
For Congress
A. L. Bauer Nominated by Social

District. {

The only union labor candidate for
congress SO far selected was named b.
the Socialists of the First Congress
sional District Sunday when they
unanimously selected A. L. Bauer, of
Wheeling. The nomination was thrust
upon Brother. Bauer, as he had asked
that his name not be mentioned, bur
so general is the recognition of his
sterling qualities that the members in

the convention quarters it was all over.
The session was held in the Trades
Assembly hall and Socialists from al

Bauer's nomination must certainly
be regarded as a union labor nomina-
ton for he has been an active trade
unionist for "a life time, and besides

PLEADS FOR BETTER
HOMES FOR WORKERS

Burman Foster, of the University of
Chicago, in the course of a recent ser
mon at the Third Unitarian Church,
Chicago, made a plea for better sur
roundings for the laboring man. He
said:
ION every hand you hear the demand
for social reform, and regularly yoo
hear the reply: First make the individ-
ual better. If men were better, Drawer
more industrious, these conditions
would soon be better. But the question
remains: How are we to get this new
and better man? What can be done
about it? 8
Let the wage be such that the labor
er can have a home of light and JOY
and sunshine in a decent locality.
Let tn elaboring mems women not have
to go to factory and days work out
side, but have time and strength. to be
women, mothers, wives and make
cheerful homes. In this way We can
help them to achieve an inner life. !
"Above all, we may help the laborer
to assume different attitude to- his
work. So long as his work is alien to
him, so long as he works only for the
sake of the wages, just so long Is he a
wage slave, and we cannot expect a
slave to love his slavery or to have joy
in his work. Then, too, while labor
organizations must be preserved and
protected, they must add a. new func-
ton, that Of lending joy and nobility
and skill to labor. M
'Thus do men become new men. It
is true that good men can grow in the
worst surroundings. But that is God S
business. Our business is to make the
surroundings as healthy as possible.
It does little good to talk to men about
God and yet leave them in their wret-
ehed lot. How can these men believe
in Gods wisdom and goodness in a
world of mammonism, heartlessnes5
and cruel struggle for existence?
"In these United States we claim to
have the most living Christianity in
the world, and yet five or six men,
most of them Jealous church members,
kings in the kingdom Of Mammon, con-
troll the entire material wealth of the
country"

cording to returns received today from

also been reelected, so that it is as

When the polls opened yesterday
there was really no opposition to tha
election of Diaz Francisco I. Madero.
his only opponent, was>fn the peniten-
tiary at San Luis Potosi, other Liberal
leaders were in Jail and the voting
places were in charge Of government
troops. No disorders are reported and
the election will be formally ratified
in the chamber of deputies July 10. -
In some quarters the belief Is free
ly expressed that the Diaz dynasty is
thoroughly established.
Felix Diaz, nephew of the presi-
dent has resigned as the chief of the
federal police. He will probably be
made governor of the state of Vera
Cruz If President Diaz is not alive
six years hence, corral and Felix Dia2
will be the candidates for presidenf

troops. Before he could get into direct
communication, however, the attack On
the Jail had been completed. The mob,
first using a telegraph pole as bat
tering ram, discarded it and secured
steel rail, which proved more eff
fective. Smashing in the doors the mob
surged through the corridors. The
sheriff, believing that one shot would
end. in the death of many, refrained
from shooting, or giving the order to
his deputies to sshoot, but refused to
surrender the keys. Sledge hammers
however, soon solved the cell locks, and
the shrinking prisoner was dragged
outside and taken to the scene of the
lynching. There he made a short
speech, however, was cut short by the
frightened rope, and his limp corpse
soon swung with the breeze from the
cross arm of the telegraph pole.
The mob then dispersed, more speed
lily than it gathered, and by midnight
the streets were again deserted.
Governor Harmon has removed the
city officials, mayor, chief and night
captain of police, and the same action
will be taken against the sheriff.

strong efforts are being made by those
in power to make the affair appear as
a trade union mob lynching strike
breaker, but that this is not the cor
rect view is evident from the fact
that there are now, and have long
been, strike breakers in Newark, who
have not been lynched. The whole
trouble was over the wet" and dry

been a B. & o. machinist strike break
er, was employed as 'dry'' detective,
and formed, with others, the party of
foreign trouble makers, whose
presence SO exasperated great num-
Der of Newark citizens.
The whole affair is an unfortunate
one, but, it will not do to attempt to
