IT is not necessary TO describe at length
the hours Of bitter mental struggle
which took place between LathrOp and
8Iilington when the hOrmer discovered
that his friend had been shamming all
the time; that the physicians, the ser
Eants-everybody indeed, who was IN
any way connected with the affaiT-had
been acting under ar agreement with
the young dnancter, though none save
Edna understood aught as 70 the object
10 be attained BY the deception Lath-
rOp was very angry at first, but, bit by
bit. he was brought to a point where he
was able to perceive something Of the
rather grisly humoT in the situation,
and, finally, he laughed dOubtfully with
his friend But II was BY no means
50 easy TO prevail on him that he should
keep his sin secret He insisted that ne

CLAWS PLEA RATIFIED
LAND OFFICE SKELETON

A queer thing happened in
Washington last Saturday. A
small thing, but highly signifi-
cant, casting a flood Of light on
the methods Of our rulers.
In order to present his case be-
fore the so-called Ballinger-Pin-
chot investigating committee,
L. R. CLAWS, the dismissed Off
cial of the land office, asked for
the production Of certain docu-
ments from the department Of the
interior, These documents, Mr..
CLAWS charged, had not been al
lowed to reach the hands Of Presi-
dent Taft, by whose Immediate
order Mr.. CLAWS was dismissed
from the government service. s
2 The & investigating committee
asked for the documents. The
documents did not j come. Mr..

blamed against the dilatory tao

What do those mysterious docu-

ments of the interior department.
Therefore, they cannot contain
anything relating to any foreign
power. They do not contain any
secrets the publication of which is
liable to offend any foreign power
or to affect injuriously our for
eign relations. Yet the publica-
tion Of these secrets would, in the
opinion of the investigating COM
mittee, be dangerous to the

At last the committee sent to Sec

for those documents. The docu-

doors. The executive session over,

NEW YORK CITY IS NOW ~
MAEISTROM OF UNREST

T. The clothing industry Of New
York is at all times involved in
strikes and lockouts. Today one
craft wins a strike; tomorrow an
other walks out. Now it's the
coat tailors - then comes the
pants makers, then the shirtwaist
workers, then the cloak makers,
and so it goes.
The employers blame every
thing in sight for the industrial
unrest in the clothing industry.
They, Of course, overlook the one
important cause, namely, the
.sweatshop system Of wages, hours,
and conditions Of employment.
Now that the shirtwaist strik-
ers have won out, the cloak
makers are preparing for a gen.
eral strike in the spring. About
10000 workers will be involved in
this proposed conflict.
In the strike Of the pants
makers now waging, about half
have gained victory. This means
about 5000 are still out.

The mad rush in business and in

of poverty, unemployment and the

suicides. Drunkenness is also on the
increase and cannot be checked until

Again let me remind you that this
Is the age of property. Property is

Consumption and Drunkenness
Born of Present Civilization

what's the cause of consumption?
Poor nourishment, foul air and
overwork.
Wipe out the tenement districts,
ventilate the mines and factories,
shorten the hours Of labor and you
have solved the problem. We have
abolished hog cholera, but not con-
sumption, because it costs more to
buy hog than a laborer.
One-third of all the children of the
poor die 'prematurely from prevent
able diseases and undernourishment
Thirty thousand men are killed and
100000 injured on our railroads ev-
cry year. This frightful slaughter is
almost entirely unnecessary and Goa
sequently criminal, and if justice were
done the men responsible would b.
declared guilty Of manslaughter This
would put a stop to it at once.
This much for the physical man.
Now, what about the intellectual prog
ress?
The average young man of today is
cane sucking sport interested in
none of the great problems of the day.
He reads the Diamond Dick, stuff, the
Police Gazette or the sporting page Of
our daily papers. If he buys a news
| paper he couldn't be induced to read
| the editorial section. He culls out
for the sporting page and throws the
balance into the gutter. He can tell
you every ball players and prizefight-
| er's record both here and in Europe.
But he does not think. He only thinks
| he thinks.
The children of the poor have Their
| vitality prematurely Slapped in shop
and factory, all finer sensibilities de-
stroyed or stunned mentally, morally
and physically. We still expect him
to father the citizen of the future.
Can we expect anything but rubbish :
Our present system is to blame. We
have societies for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals" but none to de-
mand a change Of an industrial sys-
tenn which damns the many as well
as the few. What howl goes up
from these people when farmer at.
tempts to work an immature colt!
