HIRED THUGS AS SPECIAL F
OFFICERS BRING ANARCHY

Some time ago in a police court
Of New York city a magistrate
was dealing with several arrests
that grew out Of strike. ~
The arrests had been made in
all instances by some special Of
ficers serving directly under the
instructions Of the employers.
When the magistrate saw the
type that these special officers
represented he gave utterance to
the following statement:
II think it an outrage" said
he, that the police commissioner
is enabled to furnish police power
to these special officers, many Of
them thugs, men out Of work,
some Of whom would commit muir
der for two dollars.
S Most Of the arrests which have
been made BY these men have been
absolutely unwarrante ed. In nearly
every case one of these sspe cial Of
. ficers had first pushed . gun ii
the prisoner s. face. 81

WILL ONE DAY TRIUMPH

OVER MEN WHO BEAT EN-
The editor Of the United Mine
Workers journal urges the form
alton of a boosters club among
the miners.
He wants for his journal cir
culation Of 100000. That is to say
he wants every miner to be SUBJ
scriber.
Don't you Think" he says,
THAT a paper with 100000 circu-
lation would have a power and in
huence on the people for your
benefit that would be mighty in
breaking down the forces that are
lined up against you?
Don't you think that with an
official organ Of that kind you
could 60 into scores Of congress
sional and legislative districts and
elect your own men to those bod
les who would more closely look
after your interests?
"Don't you think that with
such a force in your legislative
halls that you would get more
than by electing shyster lawyers
and other nondescript grafters,
who barter your interest for
graft and 'jackpots'?
Don't you think that Duncan
Mcdonald would have made a
better representative Of your in
terests in the Illinois legislature
than Lee O'Neile Browne?
Wouldn Vice President F.
j. Hayes have made better man
in the Illinois legislature than
Mike Link, the confessed grafter7
*'Do you think Adolph Germer
would have taken $1,000 to vote
for Billy Lorimer, the blonde poll
tical boss Of Illinois, as did the
man who beat him?
"And don't you know in a
mining district O'Neile Browne
beat Duncan Mcdonald in 1906
and that the same is true about
Mike Link and Vice President
Hayes, as was also the same with
White and Germer?
Each one of these blackmail-
ers by confession 49, beat each
one of the men who have long
been known as being at the\ head
and front of the Illinois miners
union, and in a district where the
mining vote was large.''
Now the above is very inter-
esting in view of the fact that
Senator Lorimer is today very
much in the public eye.
Duncan Mcdonald, Frank j.
Hayes and Adolph Germer are
three of the ablest and cleanest
labor leaders in America.
They are all popular, able con-
scientious officials in the United
Mine Workers of America.
They will all doubtless in the
near future represent labor in the
congress of the United States.
They will not go to congress
as the lackeys Of Billy Lorimer
nor as the bosom friend of Lee
Browne or Mike Link. or any
other, cheap CRATER.
They will not stand on the floor
Of congress trembling under the

shington.-Secretary Knox, the
smallest and the most important of
President Taft's executive family
smiles quietly in his sleeve these days
when anyone speaks of the vigilance
of those newspaper men, who drop
their plummets into the undercurrents
of government and read the minds Of
the statesmen in Washington before
the word is on their lips.
In the first place the impression has
gone abroad that the secretary is not

try, which was just what Mr.. Knox

SECRETARY KNOX STEALS MARCH ON
HORDE OF DELV|NG NEWSPAPER MEN

York Journal, and William Randolph
Heart, the well-known journalist,
both listened to it as guests at the
banquet.
Suddenly-at least month after
the announcement was made-the
press became aware of the incident
and within the last few days Mr..
Knox's policy has been given the
space the omnistic editors think it
deserves.
Secretary Knox also intended to
make another announcement at a
speech in New York-his proposal for
the naturalization of the Manchurian
railroads-the most important inno-
vation in Far Eastern politics since
his predecessor, John Hay, gave ex-
preston to the famous policy of the
"open door" But the New York
banuueting tables seemed to be such
fallow soil that he decided to keep
the announcement to himself. It
o0zed out i'm some way or other from
ST Petersburg.
As a confession weakness, x may
be said that the newspapermen who
whaled the life out Of the Nicaraguan
story are beginning to think that after

have left Nicaragua to the marines

L. OF o. WILL INNOVATE
SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.
A new wrinkle in athletics at the
University of Oregon will be the in
PRODUCTION of spring football practice
next May and June, according to an
announcement just made by Trainer
"Bin" Hayward. Though spring
practice is not a new thing in the big
eastern universities, Oregon Is prob
ably the first northwest college to un-
dertake it.
Under the direction of Hayward
and Captain Taylor, of next years
team, all candidates for the football
squad will be brought out on the field
every afternoon and hustled through
fast work in signals punting, place
and drop kicking. and passing the
ball. No bucking or heavy work will
be done, as the object of the practice
, is merely to put the players in the
best condition for the regular season
and to develop their ability in kick
ing and passing. Efforts will be made
by Hayward to bring out n strong
kicker, for with the loss of Captain
Clarke, for four years Oregon's main
stay in the kicking department, the
team is likely to be weak in punting.
Hayward has offered a silver cup to
the freshman doing the best punting.
Similar trophies will be put up for
accurate passing and open field play
| ing. to arouse competition.
The single feature of Rugby foot
ball that impressed Hayward on his
recent trip to British Columbia to in
vestigate the English game was the
accurate passing. Some of the Rug
! by passing formations will be tried
out in the spring practice, but that is
| the nearest Oregon will come to
adopting the game that Hayward in
his report to the faculty declared
was far more dangerous than Ameri-
| can football.
