SYMPATHETIC STRIKES ILLEGAL

The United States court of appeals at Chicago has rendered decision that sympathy strikes are Illegal. and the larger part of the citizens of Am erica feel that the sooner this matter is taken up to the supreme court and settled forever. the better 1t will be sor all concerned
 There is involved in the issue the rights of organized labor and the rights of unorsanized labor, the rights of capital and the rights of govern z1ent- This question of individual and of cooperative and communal rights IS one that has been fooled with long enough. When the rights of a few citizens annu1 the rights of many, and through i'll conceived and unjust CO., operation promise to become a menace to the government itself, the so-called rights of the few must be curbed in the interests of the many and for the well being of all.
 There is neither sense nor feroism in enforced idleness, in destroying in dustriaI conditions and making de- pendents of a large portion of the community and creating a condition of disorder and iawlessness approach ing anarchy.
 There is nothing about a sympa- thetic strike to commend it. for it is irrational and senselessly ha1ts indus tries, changes the current of trade and really acts against the well being and such strikes occur.
 It is to be hoped that the day of all strikes is approaching an end, for in dustrial peace. not industrial war, is what counts for prosperity and good government.

THE BULLETINS DAILY sIoRY
HE HAD A FAD

new man. and wrote to the hotel for information.
 merchants chief pecuIiarlity was an unreasonable hatred of vegetarianS, which was then being agitated good deal. If yQu want to make yourself solid with him. wrote the hotel man, just sail into vegetarians with spiked shoes
 q must have been in a trance at the time or I'd have remembered a joke had put on the hotel man on my last visit there and might have suspected that he was trying to get even.
 Tn due time I landed in the town and went to the store loaded to the guards with useful information con corning vegetarianism. l had read up everything upon the subject, from the account of Nebuchadnezzar'S stunt in a pasture down to a table of statistics showing the annual yield of rice in China. I opened up without loss or time The way I threw it into the vegetarians was sin. I ridiculed the idea that a vegetable diet built up the muscular system.
 "A COW eats grass and succotash and beets and such wich-washy stuff, : I cried, and that sort of grub will do for a COW, which doesn't know any better but that's no reason why a man should live on greens. When a man has four or five stomachs, like a COW, it will be time enough to swear off on sausage
 "sWefI. my dear sir, a tiger doesn't weigh half as much as a COW, but 1t adheres to a sensible. wholesome diet You never see a tiger going around eating caulifiower or string beans When a tiger wants somthing to eat it goes to a COW and knocks that cows fool head off with one blow. Why doesn't the COW lick the tiger, if a veg etable diet is such a muscle builder?
 " There's no use talking. sir: the man who eats greens when he can get sirloin steak has a leak in his head piece.'
 "T got about as far as that when the nercahnt gathered me in his arms and shut me together like a 5acSlznife, so that my heels made dents in the back of my head. Then he hustled me outside and dropped me down coal hole. and sent my grips after me.
 He was a crank on vegetarianlsm all right enough. but it. happened that he was an enthusiastic advocate of the greens diet. The hotel man had crossed. the wires on purpose'-Chi- cago News.

A CASE IN PoINT-

The railroad disaster from an ava 1anche in Idaho on the 1st of March was a logical result. we are told, of past follies. Instead of the disaster being attributable to natural condi- tions. 1t Is chargeable to unnatural conditions produced through the ignor- ance of the railroad builders. This accident occurred in national forest, where by operations in building the raiIroad the forest on the slopes above had been killed years ago and the dead timber routed away. This made the mountainside a shute for the heavy snows at high attitudes when loos- ened by quick thaws.
 A western exchange very properly says:
 "It might be werth while to inquire what were the forest conditions at the spot of the other recent snow slides. In tho Alps, the maintenance intact of the mountain forests has long been reco gnized as Q barrier against ava lanches- In the Swiss, French and Italian Alps, large sums are being ex- pended to safeguard the valleys by engineering works, of which forest ant parts

THE HOME ATMOSPHERE. Different Types of It's Manifestation A Contrast Between American and Dutch Characteristics.

'Be it ever so humble. there's no place like home,'' we still sing, per hops in exalted mood, perhaps for the beauty of the melody; perhaps in sim cere love of our own abiding place and all it means in the way of family ties and fond memories But there Is a good deal said by the writers and speakers of the day about the home feeling vanishing; and there is a good deal in the housing and living condi- tions and on the surface of the life of today to warrant putting some measure of belief in the judgment of the writers and reformers that home Is too often a place in which to get ready to go to places.
 Al recent traveller in the land of dikes and windmil1s has been impressed with an appearance of something closer in the home relation over there than here; and he offers as an outward visible try houses of the Dutch merchants. He quotes a few, in translation: Our Contentment, Joy and Peace, Leisure and Happiness, My Desire is Satisfied, Friends and Quiet, My Wife and I, Not so Bad;s and points in contrast to the impersonal names, the Bellevues, Cedars and so forth of the estates in his own land, that suggest a less close association and sense of attachment.
 Of course the inference cannot be truly drawn from the difference Tn the scheme of house naming of the two races of people. Custom and fashion may control the one as much as the other The Dutch way may be only according to a system, a departure from which might seem as conspicuous as the expression of his fondness for his wife in the public naming of his house would be sure to seem to an American. There is a well ingrained dislike in most Americans against be- ing made conspicuous. and an almost insurmountab1e disinclination to ex- hibit to the public theh fondness for their folks" And yet, if it is only a custom without deep beart significance, the Dutch confession of contentment of satisfied desire, of the prospect of peace and quiet in his home makes its appeal to a similar instinct that must exist in all, however they may seem to have crushed it out with habit of forsal1ing the home atmosphere--New Bedford Standard.

A New Potato Peril,

It is not an altogether pleasant task that of calling attention to new perils. Humanity has been Surfeited with alarn1ist warnings of one sort and an other and calamity howlers nowadays are not, as a rule, the people whose society is most generally and enthusi- asticaIly sought. Yet notwithstand- ing the 1lethora of counsel, some of it wise and some otherwise the world continues to exhibit remarkable pa- tience and ceptivity-content, no doubt, to recognize everything by way of admonition that may come along, and subsequently, to reject that which is useless. while retaining and apply ing that which possesses value. Per haps it is not, therefore, too much to expect that potato raisers will be in- terested in the wart disease of pota- toes, particularly as the United States department of agriculture, which has performed, and is performing, excel lent service for the country's farming g interests, has seen fit to issue, for free distribution, circular giving a brief account of the menace. The wart dis ease is a new enemy of the potato crop which is attracting great atten- ton in Europe, and which. according to the department of agriculture is liable to be introduced into the United States at any tine.-Manches- ter Union.

connecticut,s Growth.

Striking and significant is the rec ord of new industrial construction in Connecticut, as reported in a bulletin issued by the bureau of labor statis- tics. During the fiscal year ending June 30 1909, 219 separate factory buildings, costing $2,064100 and con taininer 47.7 acres of floor space, were erected in the state. The showing is impressive and encouraging. During the first half of the fiscal year the state was only beginning to recover from the panic and depression, and the statistics do not include new con- struction under way but not completed by June 30.
 These figures have no mercy on the theory of anybody who in1agines that Connecticut isn't still bounding for ward, and they make short shrift of any notion that the state has devel- oped decadent tendencies.
 See what the record has been dur ing the past decade. The labor bureau shows that durine the past ten years 2,117 factory buildings and ex- tensions were erected in the state. They represented an aggregate total expenditure of SPA, 445,9 or an annual average of s2,444,594.
 ing operations in Connecticut touch on only a single phase of the develop nent which the state is undergoing. While new factories have been going g up, the processes of exDansion have been at work along various other lines. With a glorious past and a prosperous present Connecticut is facing great future.-Hartford Times

PAULHAN's TROUBLES.

Pau1han, the French aviator, does not find it so easy to break away from his American obligations. He had a contract to fly in this country for seven months at SPA 900 a month, and has failed utterly to make good.
 The Jamaica course on Long Island is lily adapted for flights, because of the high winds usually prevailing there and the imminent peril of being swept to sea. Crowds have gathered to wit ness the flights, but only a flight of 200 feet has been made, Paulhan sens ing the extreme danger of operating his machines at that point. He ex- pected to have sailed for home Thurs day, but his manager procured from the courts an injunction on Tuesday, prohibiting Paulhan, in view of his breach of contract, from taxing with him any of the four .aeroplanes he brought to this country There are in the lot two B1eriot and two Far nam machines. With his craft tied up and Cleary threatening a damage suit for $15O,000, friends tried to per- suade the Frenchman to reconsider his decision, but he appeared to be de- termined to sail on Thursday what ever the cost or loss to himself.

THE MOUND BAYOU COLONY.

The Mound Bayou colony of negroes whose success has been written up for the Century magazine by Miss Lillian Tong Jones, of Griffin, Ga, has made even the defamerS of the negro race in all parts of the country sit up and take notice. Under the pen-name of Hiram Tong, she de- scribed how, for nearly score of years, 5000 negroes have been living to themselves, commercially, indus trially and in every sense a colony that has come to be self supporting and that has grown from a cabin into a tract forty miles square.
 Negroes own everything; operate everything. The only institution in the town or colony not representing negro. capital is a Carnegie library.
 Slowly but none the less effectually, the thriftless and the drones have now are bona fide, ambitious and zeal ous workers.
 The Atlanta Constitution, remark ing upon the story, says:
 Tt is a tradition of the southern Anglo-Saxon, whose experience. heav- en knows! has been superabundant, that the negro progresses only under the leadership of the white man.
 Heretofore, the race. has lacked both racial consciousness, racial ho- mogeneity and the faculty of racial initiative.
 "So that, in a way. the Mississippi colony upsets conceded precedent, and extends to both white and negro a new outlook upon a complicated prob lem"
 There appears to be no doubt that the negro can prove his right to rec ognition as @ man and a brother any where if he is given an equal chance.

DISTURBED HIS PEACE OF MIND

The way in which the Enrlishmen booted and hissed Patten, a cornerer of grain and cotton, is pointed out as Illustrating well the difference in temperament of the English and the American people His millions did not protect him from having his peace of mind disturbed by an angry and dis Susted crowd of Englishmen who may have suffered in consequence of his sllt1ul financial ability
