Events moved rapidly and strangely
for Blackburn. While yet he was in the
depths OF sorrow produced by hts ar
rest and indictment he was suddenly
hoisted TO the topmost reach OF the
pole of political delight by being
elected a supervisor OF San Mateo
county. And while he found himself
perched thereon, waving both hands IN
jubilation at his success. Assistant DIS
trict Attorney f. A. Lane Kicked the
pole from under him, bringing him TO
earth with a thud.
PROSECUTION To GO on
When Lane heard that Blackburn
had been elected supervisor of San
Mateo county, he chuckled grimly.
The election will not make an iota
of difference in the prosecution OF
Blackburn" he declared. That is going
to be carried to a finish"
The present arrangements are that
Blackburn. Francis. Debendetti and Co
burn will be arraigned in Judge Ca
baniss' court Thursday morning They
should have been arraigned before this
time, but for some reason or other
their cases were not marked for trial

Two Aged Sisters Return

All the sisters and orphans of the
Mount St Josephs asylum gathered yes
terday to welcome into their midst
again Sister Mary Agnes and Sister
Cecilia, the two oldest sisters Of all
who were with Sister Frances when
the orphanage was In Market street on
the site of the Palace hotel.
These two sisters, each almost 90
years old, have been staying at the
st. Francis infant shelter in South San
Francisco since fire destroyed the or
phanage. 1t is only within the last
few days that it was decided to bring
them to the temporary home at Frank
lin and Ellis streets.
Comforts have been developing
slowly, however. and two little rooms
have been fitted UP on the sunny side
Of the house for them. So yesterday
they came home, beaming with smiles
and radiant with JOY at being in the
heart of affairs once more. Their lives
have been devoted for so many years to
the orphanage that their absence from
il during the excitement of rehabilita-
ton has been trying to them.
Another blessing has come to the
home within the last day or two in the
gift from Mrs. Alexander Loughbor-
ough of a beautiful piano. Music has
always been an important factor in
the lives of the children and its alb
sence has been a great deprivation. The
first night the piano was in the house
. was given over to merry making and
an impromptu concert continued until
bedtime.
To counterbalance these causes for
rejoicing, however, the plumbing has
been real woe. The house was for so
long unoccupied that the plumbing has
become sadly out of order Although
the sisters have had to spend about
81 900 of the money from The Calls
fund in an effort to make everything
thoroughly sanitary, one set of burst
ing or clogged pipes has developed
after another, and as fast as repairs
are made others are needed.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo, Nov g.
Downward revision of the tariff at

congressman from the ninth district,

"The landslide is in line with my
predictions of months ago., said Clark
today. THE people are tired of the

The first and greatest proposition the
democrats should stand for is a, re-

gram to Congressman Champ Clark at
Bowling Green, Mo-:
."You should be elected speaker. Will
fight for you, talk for you, anything

mand of the people to congress to take
more power away from the speaker.
Virtually every republican classed as
an insurgent who was running for re-
election to the house has been re-
turned. All were returned. in my opin-
ion, because the people approve their
activities in correcting the tyrannous
system of control in the house.
The people know that correction
has not been completed. The power
to appoint committees should be taken
from all future speakers and put back
in the house, where it belongs, and I

NOT COMPETITION.

Specifically viewed the claim that or.
ganlzed labor represents but a small
fraction of American labor and is there
fore presumptuous in attempting to legis-
late for labor as a whole is strong one
But when it is understood that organized
labor is not to be considered in the light of
Il competitor of unorganized labor, but of
an expression of the best in labor, the
argument loses much of its strength.
Nothing in the policy of organized
labor can be construed as an effort on its
part to compete with labor unorganized.
Its efforts are not along the line of COM
petition, but of combination. 1t does not
seek to array laborer against laborer,
but to combine them for mutual pro-
lection against those who impose upon
them.
1t cannot be successfully contradicted
that organized labor stands for the best
in labor. Organization is the genius of
modern progress 1t is the spirit of the
age. To organize is up-to -dateness
thing else.
The question for the unorganized
laborcr to ask is: Does organized labor
labor stand for better conditions of
labor?" Does it? Does it stand for
higher wages? Does it stand for fair
dealing between the men who toll :?
Does it stand for the things that make
labor blessing rather than curse?
Why do the employers have such in
terest in free" labor? Do they paw
free" labor better wages than the unions
ask? Do they extend to it greater adj
vantages than the unions are contending
for? Why are they fighting the unions?
Is it because the unions are not con-
tending for the best2 What interest
prompts them to insist on the so-calIed
freedom" of labor? Is it not that of
the fox that advises the goose to renal in
outside of the coop at night?
The best friend of the non-union man
is not the employer who bowls against
organization. but the union man who
seeks the organization of all labor?
The union man does not seek to COM
pete with the -unionist. He has no
desire to lower his standard, but to lift
him up to a higher one But the non
unlonist does in fact enter into a critical
competition with the unionist The man
who is willing to work for what is offer
ed, regardless of his best interests. and
those of his fellow-workers, is ever a
menace to labor. His methods, if uni
versally adopted, would inevitably result
IN only the lowest standard of labor.

If the Civic Leaguers of this city are
sincere in their movement to eliminate
