COINED By MISSOURI JUDGE
First Use Of Expression, 1.-THE Man
Higher Up" Has Been Traced
to It's Source.

History may be doubtful as to the
Identity Of the man who fastened the
Show Me" tradition on the state Of
Missouri, but she will not be In the
case Of the man who coined the ex-
preston 1.-THE Man Higher Up" The
first use OF this expression was made
by Elmer B. Adams, Judge Of the fed.
eral bench In st. Louis. Even the
very case In which he used the ex.
preston has been fixed, and the arch.
biologists who have been carrying on
the investigation defy the world to
show them (being Missouri men)
why and where they are wrong.
Certain claims that the phrase, Get
at the Man Higher Up" was nrst used
by Theodore Roosevelt are secuted by
the historians in question, who have
gone into the inquiry with all the eau.
ton and precaution OF true scientists.
Nowhere in the folklore Of the vaude.
Vile stage or of the. daily press can
be found the slightest reference to the
man higher up previously to the date
In 1903, when Judge Adams, charging
a federal grand Jury in their investi
cation Of certain naturalization frauds
which were the talk OF the country at
that time, told the Jury ito look not
only for the little man who is made q
tool, but for the The Man Higher

CITY A VERITABLE BEEHIVE
According to This, little Old New
York" Must BE About Crowded
to tho Limit.

We are told that II the inmates of
all the Office buildings in the most
over-built section OF lower New York
were to leave their skyscrapers at
the same time six strata OF sidewalks
would be required to give this mass
footway. p.
It is asserted that the population
Of New York is growing at the rate of
$4,000 persons a year, which means
that In the next half century the city
will contain double the number OF in.
habitants that It does to-day.
Even granting that this rate Of in.
crease Is somewhat exaggerated, the
necessity Of arranging for tremendous
expansion is obvious to all. The
problems Of transit up and down town
and from one quarter OF the city to
the other, the means Of ingress and
egress. cry aloud for immediate con.
sideration.
I am reminded of the story OF the
elderly spinster who was a witness in
court and when asked her age hest
tated long time. After much delay
and several repetitions OF the question
the Judge raped on the desk impa-
tiently and said: Hurry up, madam;

HOW THE TARIFF PROTECTS LABOR

do not the people who made the
protective tariff tells us flat footed
tht the tariff was made to prot ect
American labor and for no other
purpose? This is true from the
fact that in every instance the
makers of this tariff gave us their
solemn word that it is so.
But now what is really amazing
for us to find is that after all of
this assurance the committee of
social workers appointed to investi-
gate the condition of the steel trust
report to us that those employees are
working under conditions of almost
unbelievable hardship and degrade
ton, and that the way they live is
disgrace to civilization.
A large majority of these pro-
tected American laborers work
twelve hours day. Almost half
of them work not only twelve hours
day but seven days week. More
than half of them are paid Is cents
an hour. More than a third are
paid less than IA cents an hour.
In consequence of these long hours
and scant pay, says the committee,
these men are under conditions
that are "intolerable for human
beings"
What has become of the millions
and the hundreds of millions that
the protective tariff has taken out
Of the pockets of the people and
turned over to protect American
labor?"
Labor hasn't got it, that's fiat.
Labor is ground down into the dirt
by the steel trust. 1 is paid the
lowest penny on which it can live.
1t is worked the longest hours on
which it can keep awake. 1t is
housed and fed worse than Missouri
hogs are housed and fed. Yet it
has an immortal soul. 1t has inalien-
able rights. 1t is made up of free
men and American citizens. The
Declaration of Independence was
made for it, and Old Glory waves
over it.
What travesty on civilization!
What a mockery in the name Of
protection!
Andrew Carnegie, though, has
gotten out of that protection SC
many hundreds of the peoples
money that he can't even give the
interest away as fast as it comes in
He has planted libraries with hi:
name on them at almost every cross
roads, and sprinkled a lot of then
over Europe for good measure, and
still his bottomless Golfers are over
flowing. More than that he boasts
that from his steel works he ha!
