the habit OF attending the moving pic

comes decidedly unhealthful.
Secondly, this accumulated desire on

CRITICISM OF COURTS.
Governor HadIey Of Missouri Declares
Ii Perfectly Proper.


Governor Hadley In his address be.
fore the American Federation of Labor
convention at st. Louis declared 1t
perfectly proper to crlticise a court
after a decision had been rendered.
Judges in general have been more
solicitous in protecting the rights OF
property than in protecting the rights
of the Individual" said Mr.. Hadley.
IL have never recognized any depart
ment Of our government as immune
from criticism, and certainly the exec
utive department has not been.
II do not see why the judiciary
should not have the correctness Of its
reasoning subjected to criticism. This
should be done for the protection Of
just judges as against unjust judges
whose decisions are not based upon
good reasoning or good faith with pub
lie morals. We have been too tender.
too soicitious, In our criticism Of the
judiciary, but the Judge should not be
criticised while case Is under advise
ment.
Legislation and court made law
both are only the expression Of the
people OF the time, and a decision
which may be just at one time may
be quite impossible mt a later date"

THE NEED or UNloNIsM.
Without Organization the Workers
Case Is Hopeless.


Many years ago, before the era of
concentration, when master and man
were on familiar speaking terms,
there was some semblance OF justice
in the dealings between the individual
and the employer. Even then, through
the greed Of human nature, there were
those employers who never gave any
man what he did not force them 10
yield. In the time Of which we speak
there was no female or child competl-
ton in the trades. The factory sys-
tenn was yet In It's infancy, Then
came the high tide OF immigration
which was brought about by u desire
for cheaper labor and the allurementS
held out by the steamship companies.
The colleges were busy teaching the
exploitation of labor, and generation
Of vipers in the shape OF graduates
was turned loose to theoriZe how to
keep down expense of production and
economic In cost Of raw material.
Flesh and blood were counted Of less
consideration then IN the dealings be-
tween the individual and the cost OF a
finished product.
Then the immigrant. through painful
experience. got wise. The American
workmen had formed trade unions for
their protection. and many Of the new
corners had known Of them in Europe.
although. they were crude as compared
with the present conservative. status.
These trade unions were only formed
as means Of self preservation. and if
they were not In existence today the
lot of all workers would be hopeless.
The European gradually refused to be
further made use OF, with the excep-
ton of the most illterate races, who
hocked to the coal regions and to the
New England textile mills.
The manufacturers next turned to
female labor. which they used as
club or lever to reduce male wages.
AS the factories grew under benefi-
cent protection the standard OF age
was lessened until the familiar sight
OF the child carrying the dinner pail
was reversed and the parent then did
the Juggling.
From this condition the trade union.
lists are striving to deliver the nation.
You who never aligned yourself on the
side Of what you know In your heart
is the only remedy at hand should
give earnest thought as to whether
you are getting the best there is in life
for worker. We would ask you In
a serious, unimpassioned manner when
you are informed that you are free
and independent how much that counts
for. Go single handed to corpor-
alton or large employer Of labor
or even an individual and demand
what you may think IS just If there
ls another free and independent in
reach will you get justice?

A TURBULENT VOLCANO.
The Boiling Hot Pools of TaaI, In the
Philippines.


Philippines.
The central or main crater of Taal Is
nearly round Its diameter on an air line
north and south is 6,233 feet and the
east-west diameter 1916 feet, The
edge of this crater Is somewhat irreg-
ular, but Is nowhere broken through,
Its highest point standing at only 1850
feet above sea level and its lowest at
426 feet.
Within the rim are two hot pools,
known respectively as the yellow and
the green lake, and little active cone
above fifty feet In height from which
escape steam and sulphurous gas in
varying quantities.
In the smaller lake every few min
utes the water III the center is blown
up like an immense bubble, which, ris-
ing above the surface, finally bursts, re-
vealing black orifice and causing the
boiling aud very turbulent water to as
sumo all imaginable colors. The aque-
Gus vapor escaping is sufficient TO form
a broad smokelille column which Is
visible especially during the night and
In the early morning.
At some distance and before reach
ing the edge of the crater. where
view OF the bottom can be obtained,
the rumbling sound produced by the
escaping vapor, under the influence Of
the mysterious subterranean forces.
can be heard like that Of an immense
boiling kettle.
The greatest eruption OF Taal took
place in 1854. The eruption began on
May 10 and did not end till Dec. !.
During this dreadful time the intensity
and aspect Of the eruption were con
tinually changing, and the four princi-
pal towns of the laguna " Boinbon dis
appeared Sala, Lipa. Tanauan
and Taal, with the numerous villages
around them. Manila Times,
