integrity OF the government,
would be to call in some tens of
millions of dollars worth of this
paper and destroy it, never, APP
parentIy, thinking what the effect
would be on the business of the
people. 1t was done and the
panic naturally followed.
In 1898 congress again, in it's
wisdom-God save the mark
deliberately destroyed one-half
the money of the land. We all
remember what followed.
In 1907, some of the big COM
bines of the east decided to crush
certain other combines and take
in some coveted property, and in
doing that frightened the people
into another panic in New York,
and New York being the heart of
the nations financial system,
when that heart ceased to beat
there was heart failure every
where to the utmost extremities
of the nation.
All these panics have been most
severe upon the laboring hosts
of the country. The one in 1857
caused the skilled workingmen of
the east, for the first time, under
the American flag, to eat free
soup. Now everyone seems con-
fident of the future. The annual
product OF farm and mine and
factory is given; the cities are
booming, land values are increas-
ing-the confident ones say,
"There is not a cloud in the sky"
But it is true that our export
trade with half the world is
killed. 1t is true that even now
off across the Pacific pig and
steel rails are being produced at
one-fifteenth the cost in the Uni
ted States, and wooden and cot
ton goods are being produced at
half the costin the United States.
And these works are being ex-
tended. Two hundred millions
of the most patient and initiative
workers in the world are awak-
ening from the lethargy of three
thousand years, to engage in ex-
tending their manufactures.
What viii our skilled laborers be
doing ten years hence, ifno check
is put upon this work in the orr
emit? What will become of our
exports to civilized countries?
When these, too, stop, what will
the railroads do? And whatwill
the farmers crops and lands be
worth?
What is the government doing
toward insuring the laboring-
men employment ten years hence?
Will a fight over the house rules,
or an Investigation OF whether
this or that government official
is a thief or an honest man, set
tie the matter? Suppose when
the water power on government
land is conserved, there shall be
no use to which the power can be
applied, who will be the gamer?
Suppose the miner with the
mine and mill ran his business
just as the government just now
is running it's business, how long
before he would be out of ore
and be obliged to close down
his mill?
And the workingmen, thelabor
unions, what are they thinking
of that they are not demanding,
in the names of their wives and
babies, that the government
shall interpose and ward off the
danger that threatens to convert
our people into a race Of which
a few will be a moneyed aristoc-

that he klYws about conditions in this
country, and will give him his opinions
upon the trend OF affairs with the
freedom of cpeech for which he is

Tense OF the administration.
Mr. Roosevelt will not show any

hotel He knows that the giant killer

great fear denial will be interposed
that one says MIR. Kellogg is not to

it was reported that he was to pay

antagonizing the administration said
that the former president would get
nothing from The senator that he
might not get from any ultra conserv-

No criticism of this kind can be
directed at the mission and the mes

PRESIDENT TAFT IN ST. LOUIS
Head of Nation Having Real Nice
Time in That City.
Especial to The Free Press.l


st. Louis, May 4.-Prcsidcnt Taft
arrived in st. Louis today on his swing
around the circle and was received by
a committee of prominent men repre-
senting the Business Mems League,
the Traffic club, the Farmers union
and other organizations. He will
make an address at. a banquet to be
given in his honor tonight.
Although the Central Trades union
has passed resolution setting forth
that President Taft's attendance ut the
Cleveland st. Louis American league
game here today would be considered
an affront, it is believed he will see
the game.
A labor boycott is on the Cleveland
team, because II little non-union labor
was used on the handsome new base
ball grounds in Cleveland. President
Taft is notably opposed to boycotts, as
he has remarked in public frequently.

SHAW R0ASTS OLD ENGLAND
Declares That the Country Is in 4
DoplOrable Condition

London, May 4.-'This country is in
a deplorable and appalling condition
and I publicly apologize to the universe
for living in it,
George Bernard Shaw, the play
wright, thus delivered himself while
presiding at meeting called for the
purpose OF considering The condition
of labor and the causes OF restitution
in Great Britain.
Shaw's utteranccs had reference to
the nations indifference to the social
condition of the workers. He advO-
Gated larger national expenditures TO
insure for everybody.
"a great DEAL he said, 'of what
has been called religion in this coun-
try for the last 300 years has been
nothing less than a conspiracy to
persuade the rest of the people that
virtue is cheap thing. Now, let re
tell you there are no good things that
are cheap. If you want a DECENT, vir-
tuous population, which you haven't
got at present, you will have TO pay
for it, but you will find in the end
that it will not cost as much as Il
vicious one"
Shaw's prescription for curing or bet
tering social suffering and degradation
is to spend money, thus keeping the
people efficient, healthy, well fed and
clothed. Instead of paying policemen
and nriSOn officials no yyould Eaan a
men at work with the money.
