the hour of turmoil and rage of men following explos
ion of the death dealing bombs, protest will go up
that may put dents in the aTmor plate of those who
believe in organized protection against the power of
capital
Where capital is strong and organization of labor
frowned upon, the palace garden of wealth will fig
uratively blaze with the torchase of Union Labor.
Where the lions of capital roar, the growl will be
savage, and labor must grt up its loins and face
calmly what is to come.
Capital itself has not Immediately suffered be-
cause Of the wrecked Times office. No recompense
can be made for the human toll which in itself will be
oil to pour on the torch of labor.
Labor has suffered bitter blow because of the foul
fends who believe in fire and bomb. Human beasts
may be found anywhere, and when it is made to APP
pear that they spring from certain element, the
reaction is bitter and humliatng and men must be
very brave and very firm lest the cry raised against
them help nail to the cross principles for which they
have been fighting.
Harrison Grey Otis, owner of the Times holds a
great weapon in his hand, and countless times it's
cannons have been loosed against the who be-
heve III organized labor From now on there will be
tigher ramming Of guns and bitter canister will
pour forth at the camps OF Union Labor.
There will be quarter shown and the fact that
Organized Labor deplores more deeply than anyone
else the disaster which centered about its enemy will
cause no alteration in the captaistic purpose to
take every advantage of the horrible event. ~
So men who believe in the right to protect them
selves against the inroads of money power must per
chance, find themselves struggling against the
freshly sharpened fangs of capitalistc lions turned
loose against them. "a
There may be death battles in some instances and
when the lion fails to sink its horny claws bodilyin-
to the laborite struggling to support those nearto
him, there will be the whitening torch to fight the
torch of condemnation put before the public and
burning more brightly because of the Los Angeles
disaster.
AS indomitable Christians fought their crulelist
battles in the amphtheaters of Rome and burned to
charcoal in the palace gardens of emperors, so the
man who believes he has right to cry against OPP
preston of capital must now suffer and meet with
fOrtitude the cruelist dart which has been hurled
far cry u.s. back to that little band of Christ fol
lowers But didn't they win the greatest battle the
world ever saw, and didn't they win because when
the odds opposing were greatest they proved them
selves the strongest.
Now we have Organized Labor hurled again into
the lions den
Nero is kind. He will ask once more whether you
will give in.
But his lions roaring, and the torch oil is ready
for the pouring.

best and at the end of that period
be reduced to actual cost. which
will give the people the benefit of
the profits in years to come which
would have gone to the corporate
owners.
Tacoa has a chance to be placed
in the front rank at once if the
docks and telephone are taken
over and We as citizens should be
for Greater acoma; should voice
our sentiments until we get them.
The docks and telephone can be
taken as starter and can be self
supporting at once and in that
way will not be a drain on the
cash box of the city. Hoping the
clubs Chose i'm favor) of Tacoma
will boost in earnest for both; and
last but not least, with the aid of
the peoples paper, the Tacoma
Daily Times, we may get it. So
yours for success.

And now it is reported that an
other of the New England reac-
tionary senators will retire-yol-
UNFAIRLY, of course-at the end of
his present term. Senator Frye,
Hale's colleague, and the daddy of
them all in point of years, is the
next one scheduled to walk the
plank at the behest of progressive
voters.
Frye's term does not expire un-
It'll 1913, but he is now 79-Tfive
years older than Senator Hale, and
ten years older than Aldrich, both
of whom considered themselves
too old to seek another term

other, although it was not the pri-
mary one. If you don't think so,

LABOR AND THE LIONS DEN

Some centuries ago, Nero the Roman emperor fed
little bands Of people called Christians to the lions
which he brought from Numida for the purpose OF
pleasing the Roman populace.
Nero was very kind. If one of these Christians
would falter long enough to renounce his faith, the
lions would be called off.
Emperor Nero mbued with the idea that by
thus repenishing the appetites of his ferocious
beasts with human flesh he could put stop to this
growing movement called Christianity. Once in
while, sometimes quite frequently, Mr. Nero caused
the magnificent grounds of his palace to be lighted
with torches, the flames of which leaped brightly
enough until they fickered down in the night to the
piece of charcoal which had been the living body of
one OF these persistent persons who called themselves
Christians.
Time went on and despite the barbarous methods
of treating them, the band that called themselves
Christians with the Christ the inspirator of
their Willingness grew and grew. Other emperors
and other methods than those of Nero united
IN an effort to wipe them from the face OF the earth
Held to public ridicule which waXed into frenzed
viciousness they calmly walked to the lions
hung with fervi and agonized mein human torches
those Christians grew and grew, somehow or other,
until they became whose crest though even
not yet reached, became all powerful centuries
ago.
Absolute lack of fear and acourage of convictions
on the part of those men and women who made fine
feeding for the Caesaran lions caused the Christian
ity of today Be you Heather, Pagan or Christian,
you know that this is the truth.
In the violent face OF persecution and drawbacks

Los Angeles, California, last Saturday contrib
uted bitter blow to what men call Organized Labor
In the face of every obstacle which power and
wealth could bring to bear, men of humble begin
nngs but with the inherent idea to protect them
selves, their homes and those within them, have
fought and suffered for what they considered and
knew to be their rights
TO say that the Labor Unions were responsible
FOR the dastardly crime which wrecked the Times
building and left widows and orphans in mourning
and terror would be an insult not only to labor but
to the intelligence of the capitalistc element which
has, in many instances, waged against it bitter war
fare
No man of capital who has dealt with the leaders
OF labor could from his heart depths contend thst
such deplorable methods would for moment be
considered, let alone encouraged countenanced.
BUT-Just as true as Labor Unionism was not re-
sponsible for the havoc caused in Los Angeles with
out doubt 1T is just true that conflict between
Labor and Capital was, in measure, responsible for
the dynamite plots.
Unfortunately for Organized Labor, it must bear

PIGEONS FIGURE IN HISTORY
Down Through All the Ages They
Have Reen Made the Ser
wants CT Men.

Doubtless you admire the pretty,
graceful creatures that perch upon the
caves of your house, or daintily trip
across your yard, but did you ever
think what factor they have been in
the history Of the world?
Pigeons, as commonplace as they
appear, are characters Of antiquity.
the Household says. We hear of them
when the waters of the deluge covered
the face of the earth, when the faith
full dove flew from the hand Of Noah
and returned to her master, bearing
the significant olive branch. Dove is
the Anglo-Saxon name; pigeon, the
Norman name.
During the fifth Egyptian dynasty,
5000 years before Christ, it was the
fashion to domesticate pigeons, and to
| train them as carriers and messen-
gers. The promptness with which
| Caesar was informed Of the rebellions
in Gaul, and thereby enabled to cross
the Alps before those uprisings could
possess the entire province, was due
to the use of carrier pigeons. In the
crusades these birds were skillful and
faithful messengers.
The price of a handsome pair of
pigeons in ancient Rome was not a
trif1e, for Axius, Roman knight, once
sold a pair of pigeons for 40 denarii-
about 913 in English money, and
about S65 in our currency. At that
time, too, they were by far the swift
est conveyers of news and were much
| in demand at the celebration of the
Olympic games.
Among the many pathetic incidents
connected with the Imprisonment of
Mary Queen of Scots, she begs earn
estly for pigeon, and writes in let
ter: 81 beg you to procure for me some

Moments looks In Business.

An attractive, slender figure, a
bright, healthy appearance, an alert
bearing and graceful ease of move
ment-these are beauties and person
al advantages which women in bust
ness do well 70 cultivate and preserve.
They are often a passport to success
when applying for a situation, while
the young woman with a clumsy fig
ure, salIow complexion, and slow
movements has . much smaller
chance. There is also the question of
health. Stout persons, as a EuEe, are
more inclined to the common ail1sents
of everyday life than those WAC are
slim and ION the move" and obesity,
a disease in itself, brings others in
its train. Plumpness is often very
charming. 1t is when the Blun0Bness
turns into real, undoUbted fairness t1at
there is cause for alarm. Neglected
fairness will soon mean chronic ebe-
sity; then troubles eoale.
