In recent legislation, Attorney General
Wickersham held session with several

Reading between the lines, the man

the rest Of the people, had one of the
foxiest kind of foxes in that document
1t was u something which would prac

please; even to the extent of giving them
the use of the entire United States army
to protect them in their robbery of the
people.
The Sherman antitrust law, under the
skillful manipulation of perverted minds,
has become effective weapon against
the people. The Trainer Of that law in
tended it for something else. That some
thing else is quite free with it's bland

now stands, is just good as it ever

THE UNION IDEAL

One of the saddest things the lover OF
humanity has to consider in these days
is how hopeless are the desires and as.
pirations of the laboring people to reach
the social levels they would like to reach,
says the Los Angeles Citizen
The American type of laborer is the
highest type of laborer. He aims high
er. This is the hope and glory of the ma.
ton. A low level of manhood and WON.
anhood means low level of national
life.
ga noble nation of ignobIe house
holds is impossble,'' has been said. The
poorly paid laborer cannot maintain a
noble household. Its inferiority is ma
tional injury.
The aim of every teacher and leader
of the people should be to enlarge their
ideals, to teach them to ''set their at
tections on things above high things
Every institution that is worthy of ex-
istence must have this as it's chief OBJ
ject.
What gives the labor union it's COM
handing claim on existence is that it
aims above all things to uplift the work
ers-to raise the standard of living of
the American laborer.
Those who class the union as trust
and condemn it equally with the trusts
of capital, overlook the social and hui
manitarlan side of the question.
The union exists to uplift men, to ex-
alt their ideals. The trust exists to up
lift money and property, to debase the
ideals of men to levels of greed and self
ishness.
Rev. George Hodges, D. G. L., says
that the purpose of the union is "the
maintenance OF certain standard of
living. This is the goal of all trade I'M
ion efforts 1t is the formula of the
trade union ideal. 1t is the heart of the
whole matter. The unionist would gain
and preserve for himself and his breth-
rem such rates Of wages, such regulation
of the length Of the working day and
such conditions under which his tasks
and theirs may be performed, as shall
best conduce to the happiness of his life,
the growth of his body, mind, and sol,
and the welfare of his family The man

ed as an animal, then as n machine. now
he demands to be considered as a man. -
The union worker standing for the
best in labor is not standing for himself
alone. He is bearing the burden of
great cause. He is standing for his fam
lily, his fellows, for principle, for prog
ress. He is bearing on his shoulders the
cross of all who toll. Everything he asks
is for the veal of ALL

SQUEEZE NE" BADGES
OFFEND sTAID BANKERS
Association Buttons with Ultra
Lively Inscription Are
Quickly Recalled

Chagrin seized members of the ex-
ecutive committee in charge of general
arrangements for the American Bank
ers' association meeting in Los Angeles
when they got their first glimpse yes
terday of badges ordered by a member
of the subcommittee.
"a B. A. Squeeze Me for Informa-
tion," is the inscription on the badges,
which are two inches in diameter and
yellow, to convey the impression that
they are oranges. They were classed
as lemons, however, after an inspection
that lasted less than second.
The badges are so large and the in
scription, in the opinion of the COM
mittee, so i'll advised that the giving
out of number of them caused some
heated expressions. Those issued were
recalled hastily and badges deemed
more fitting in every way will be is
sued.
After the first wave of indignation
passed the members of the committee
began to see some Of the humorous
complications that might have followed
indiscriminate scattering of the badges,
and their wrath was softened. Regard
ing the affair, w. H. Holiday, presi-
dent of the Merchants National bank
and chairman of the executive commit
tee. said yesterday afternoon:
1.-THE work of preparing for the en-
tertainment of the visiting bankers is
being done by several committees. II is
going along quite satisfactorily. A sub
committeeman, however, without the
approval of the chairman of the COM
mittee, put out number of badges of
which the general committee disap-
proved very decidedly. These badges
have been recalled and suitable ones
will be issued for distribution"

Sept. 29.-The authorities deny a recur-

fever that marked the policy of the

cism and suspicion.
The total increase in the naval ex-
penditures for the current year con-
templated in the budget, it is pointed
out, is less than $5,000,000 The minister
of the navy says the law requires this
year a very large amount of upkeep,
and that as matter of fact, the ex-
penditure by Japan for the last two
years has been entirely inadequate to
maintain her navy at its proper stan
dard

this connection 1t should be borne in
mind that soil, when beaten down, not
only takes up water more slowly but
also gives it much more readily than
soil thoroughly broken up. (b) To in
crease the water absorbing power or
the soil still further lime or organic
substances may be applied. We must
allow the plants to get all the mois-
ture they require and 1t is especially
important to supply them with enough
moisture the year round to insure
good flow of sap even if there should
happen to be a drought during the
summer months. For this reason a
very luxuriant growth in spring is not
advantageous. If in spite of all pre-
cautions, scarcity of soil should set
