THE LABOR PRESS.
Praised by President Gompers and
 Secretary Morrison.

Again says President Samuel Comp CTS, "I may refer to the splendid ser vice rendered our movement by the labor press of America. In no country on the globe are there so general or so effective publications purely devoted to the interests of the wage earners as are issued by the men of our move ment. The service of the labor press in organizing and uplift work cannot be calculated in dollars and cents It is our duty as trades uniOnists not only to give them our moral support, but the more substantial assistance that they may live and prosper and be of still greater efficiency to help in the struggle for justice and right"
 Frank Morrison, Secretary of the A. F. of L., in his report says: "The labor press is becoming more and more a vehicle through which the mebership is being informed as to the necessity of organization. The encouragement that clean cut labor papers, that hew to the line of trades unionism, can give to the organized workers is diff cult to estimate. They are of inesti- mable benefit. A city Central Body, without an official organ, having the 'espect and confidence of the rank and file of the organized workers, can not accomplish the maximum results"
The labor standard., 1910-01-01
THE INCREASED COST OF LIV-

To what extent is the government itself responsible for the increased cost of living,' of which we hear so much? A correspondent of the New York Times is disposed to attribute much of the trouble to Uncle Sam himself Here is his contribution on the subject:
 Is it not highly amusing that the federal government should have ap- pointed a commission to investigate the causes that lie back of present high cost of living? It would be quite as logical for a person to steal another's watch and then appoint a commission to discover what had become of it. It cannot be denied that gold imitation, excessive profits by the retailer, con- centratiOn of population in cities, and actual pressure on the sources of food supply are contributing causes to the conditions existing; but above all these in importance is the very ac- tivity of the government itself.
 Pure food bills, with the countless number of inspectors necessary to en- force CD them; continued and in creasing interference by commissions in private business; a fraudulent and inflated pension bill; inefficiency and extravaganza in the public service- these all contribute toward the high prices of foodstuffs.
 Somebody has to pay for all this ouncombe and political fiummery, and it is, of course, the consuming public which eventually foots the bill in the form of increased taxes, higher rents, and an almost prohbitive price for food. The wonder of it all is that the people can submit themselves cheer fully to such wholesale exploitation. Yet the cry still goes forth for more government and more commissions, as if an unlimited extension of this sort of activity were a cure-all for each and every i'll that expresses the body polite.

asserts that many ministers are dis cussing problems of toilers in their ulpits and advocates that the first Sunday in September be officially designated by the American Federation of Labor as Labor Sunday"
 It asks that the churches of Amer ica be required to set some part of this day to the presentation of the Labor question and the various labor bodies be required to corporate in every legitimate way with the ministers who thus observe labor Sunday.

PRICES ON SHOES GOING UP.

Tariffs seem TO work "by contraries, like Rory O'More's dream. A reduc- tion of the tariff on hides is followed by the announcement that the prices of shoes are going to be increased, up to twenty-five cents a pair.
 The inevitable plausible explanation is not lacking: There is a scarcity of hides and an OvergrOWn demand for leather for upholstery purposes-car- riage trimming automobile seats, fur niture, etc.-and a heavy drain on the supply for burnt leather work which has developed at a surprising rate. And the demand for shoes naturally in- creases as the population grows.
 On top of all these reasons, consider that the leather trust needs the money for dividend purposes, and the whole thing is explained.

Friends of the stricken young mil

Ever since Mr.. Vanderbilt became Ill

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 14.-Acting on in
structions from the attorney generals
office In Washington, Warden Meyer,
II the Atlanta federal prison. has is
sued a statement concerning the pun
ishment Of Charles w. Morse for al
eyed breach of prison rules. Mr..
Morse was punished about the middle
IF May. The warden states that Mr..
Morse was confined for two days in a
solitary cell.
This punishment followed MIR.
Morse's polite, but firm, refusal to ac-
quaint the prison officials with the
source from which he has received
money, 1t being a strict violation OF
he rules OF the prison for a prisoner

Warden Meyer says that the money
vas given TO Mr.. Morse by his wife
and w. p. Reid, Mr.. Morse's former
business partner. There was sal in all.
The warden denies that Mr.. Morse was
put In a dungeon. or that he was ever
put on bread and water. He says that
Mr.. Morse's confinement in the solitary

SON OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TO MARRY
Child Of James Monroe, "a
Years Old, Will Take Unto
Himself a Wife.

Ludington, Mich, Sept. 13.-That yes
ward James Monroe, OF Bridgeport and
Jacksonville, Fla. who asserts that he ID
a son of James Monroe. fifth president of
the United States. has announced his In
tention of marrying at the age of "a, hav-
Ing outllved three wives and IL children
and having survived three wars.
Major Monroe's assertion that he ia a
son Of the famous president. during whose
Administrations the Monroe doctrine was
promulgated. is nothing new to his ac-
quanitances In this city. in which he has
been a summer resident for more than
go seasons. He has never been called upon
to prove his assertion. although no biog-
raphy Of James Monroe mentions the fact
of his having had a son.
This apparent oversight on the mart Of
the historians Is due, says Major Monroe
to the fact that little was ever known of
the personal life Of his father. Major
Monroe says he Is a son by a second mar
riage, his mothers family name being
Lauder. Here there is another seemine
oversight by the historians, as only one
marriage is mentioned in the Biographies
OF President Monroe and that vas to a
Miss kourtwright. of New York.
Major Monroe says he was born In Rich
mond, Va, on July 4. 1916. Upon the death
of his father In 1881, he says, he passed
into the hands Of a guardian by whom he
was taken to South Africa, where he res
manned several years.
