on rights of working men to petition employers unitedly for more wages met repeated objection on the ground of irrelevancy and the defense cited two exceptions to the courts ruling.
 How can laboring men bring about their betterment them" asked Davis.
 Court sustained an objection then made by the prosecution.
 Efforts to reframe the questions on this point met rapid fire of objec- tions from the state, all of which were sustained by the court.
 Court finally permitted Hauser to explain further his views on strikes
 "A body Of men," said he, have a right to organize, but when they go to an en- ployer to ask for more salary and if an employer does not see fit to grant it, l don't think they should throw men out of business They should quit and let the man hire whom he wishes.''
 You believe that unions," continued Dav.n for the defense, 'are pursuing wrong policy toward capital?'
 Objections to this question were sus- taincd by the court
 "You are then entirely opposed to labor unions. as you have had experience with them?"
 Yes
 IIauser declared that on personal inves- tiRation he reached the conclusion that dynamite destroyed the Times building. He added that it would take strong evil dence to change his mind.
 The defense here interposed chal- lenflge for actual bias and the prosecution began cross examination.
 q wanted to see for myself whether it vas blown up by gas or by dynamite, and knowing what both dynamite and gas have done I based my opinion" explained Hauser
 sI do not see how we can resist the challenge said District Attorney Fred ericks.
 Hauser was then excused.
 Talesman P. C. Thompson. manager and stockholder of stone company, was next witnessed. He admitted a prejudice against labor unions as q whole, found- cd on his experiences with them
 Thompson finally said he was opposed to capital punishment and was excused Court adjourned at o'clock.

IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF GR; EAT kID- nEY REMEDY IS SOON REALIZED.

In March, 1905, was troubled with severe pains in my back and left side, but didn't think it was anything serious until last September. I got so bad that I was obliged to seek medical aid.

 forms conclusive proof of Christs divinity. The speaker then showed the relation between mankind and Christ as our divine teacher.
 The relationship existing between US and Christ is first of all that of the re- demrtion." he said. Christ is our Re- deemer. But this is not all. Christ also came to be mans teacher and helper: to teach him the truths of that higher ana supernatural life of the soul to which Cod had celled man. and to help him to live up to this life. Christ as our teacher teaches US first of all that We must believe in Him as God and in all His teachings as the teachings of God This must do under the penalty of losing our immortal souls. For Christ seid to His apostles: Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and Is bap- used shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Marlz 15:15-16).
 But since Christ thus made it an ob.i- Gation on man to believe in Him ans in His teachings. He was bound in. justice to teach men. Either He must have re- mained Himself or He must have pro- vided some means exactly equivalent to His own presence whereby all men nisnt come to Q knowledge of His truth as completely, surely and certainly as thay could have learned it from Christ's own lips. Christ did not remain Himself to teach men. therefore. He must have left this equivalent. What is this meais whereby we are to learn Christi truth !?

 Dear Sir:-Yours of the 10th inst, re- ouesting me to advise you fin reference to the increase of the salaries of the members of the board of revenue of No- bile county, received.
 Boards of revenue are in lieu or courts of county commissioners, and have thc same powers and Jurisdiction, as a gen. eral rule By section S306 of the code, courts Of county commissioners are Cre- ated courts of record. This provision also applies to boards of revenue. where they are created in lieu of courts of county commissioners.
 Section lJ0 of the constitution pre- scribes that the compensation of jus tices of the supreme court, chancell DTS. and judges of the circuit courts and other courts of record. except probate courts, shall at stated times, receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their official terms
 Salary Allowed
 Boards of revenue, therefore, fall with in the provisions of section 150 of the constitution, and not within the provis- ions of section 2S1 of the constituti on, and their salaries may be increased Gur- ing their terms of office, and they would be entitled to receive such increase dur ing their term.
 tention to the fact that the opinion now given you is in conflict with the opin- ion given you upon this same subject in reference to the members of the board of revenue of Jefferson county on Sep tember 1, last.
 You will, therefore, please regard the former opinion as withdrawn and of no effect

New Orleans, 1t is expected, will protest to the interstate commerce commission. The Texas and Pacific continues to apply the 52la cent rate to New Orleans.

SUGGESTS PLAN FOR AN
OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION

To the Editor of THE TINES:
- l have been reading great deal of
the agitation in your valuable paper for
the betterment of the conditions of the
civil service employees and have often
wondered why a suggestion had not
been made as to feasible plan of as
certaining the true conditions with
view of obtaining legislation that would
eliminate the undesirable conditions and
nut the service on an equitable basis.
My suggestion for a solution of the
entire question would be to have
thorough investigation of an~official na-
trrre of all the underlying conditions, in
Guiding everything that would be of
value in connection with the subject.
by a set of men who would have the
legal right to obtain all the necessary
information from any source desired
This information, in the form OF re-
port, would be submitted through the
proper channels so that the undesir able
conditions might be intelligentlv dealt
with by legislation or otherwise. II
such a report wars available for distrt-

students of economics and sociology

BAD BLOOD STIRRED BY THE
ENGLISH OYSTER.

Every patriot within shipping dis
tance of the Chesapeake oyster beds
is interested in the present feud which
threatens to rupture our diplomatic
relations with Great Britain, all OH
account of the relative merits of the
English and American bivalve. The
casual statement of known fact, viz,
that the English oyster is not fit to
eat, made by an American newspaper,
has provoked reply from the London
Express which is public spirited but
by no means convincing. The reply
itself is a confession of weakness, for
it mixes the question at issue with
such totally unrelated subjects as
cruelty to children and the propriety
of wearing tan shoes with silk hat.
The effort to tout the succulence of
the oysters of Colchester and Whit
stable at the expense of the products
of our own bays and estuaries sounds
like the advocacy of an unwilling at
torney appointed by the court.
A sense of British fair play did in
duce the Express to interview an
American resident in London, who gave
some unimpeachable evidence. Insist
ing upon American oysters at the sea-
food emporium where he dimes, he has
made the modest restaurant marked
spot toward which the gourmets of
dear old Lu'nun are beating a path.
The Express takes refuge in the as
sertion that no chef with a feeling
for his craft would cook an oyster. To
which comes the ready retort that if
the English oyster is as coppery as it
tastes it would be impossible to cook
it. A New York restaurateur sums
UP the situation by declasing that he
can give a perfect idea of the British
bivalve by treating one of our smallest
oysters with diluted black ink
The controversy is growing in Bit
terness every day. The Express
breathes threatenings and slaughter,
and the kitchen committee of the
house of commons may take hand. A
few ,odious comparisons from that quar-
ter and the matter would become a
subject for diplomatic negotiations. 1t

COMPLAINS OF FREE
PRINTING PRACTICE

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
am pleased to notice in The
Times of Saturday that Mr.. Stras-
burger will soon submit to the Board or
Trade information showing why the
naval commissaries here and at An
napolis should be prevented from selling
goods to Civilians at cost. 1t Is stated
that ..the business life of Annapolis mer-
chants is alleged to be in danger by
reason of. the system"
+ The precise issue here raised has been
a burning one with the printing and
paper trades, stationers, country editors,
etc, for thirty years. The Postoffice
Department has been printing, not at
cost, but fer nothing, the return cards
of corporations and firms on its stamped
envelopes. Long siEce some branches
of these trades have not merely been
put in danger" but have been put out
of business "by reason of the system
Other trades, espseially the richer and
fatter ones, which get the benefit of
this gratuity. have been inclined to
laugh at the printers. Now that other
industries are being affected by a sim
liar abuse, perhaps the printers will get
more sympathy and more support for
the legislation now pending to abolish
this abuse. D. A VICTIM.

DECLARES DISTRICT
GROSSLY NEGLECTED.
Pearre Says Action of House
Is Cause for Com ,
plant. !

Continued neglect of the District OF
Columbia is certain to create a senti-
ment for local self-government. Tho
sentiment will not be local, the sense
of justice of the entire country will -
behind it."
This was the statement made today
by Representative Pearre of Maryland,
a member of the House Committee on
District of Columbia.
mo one will attempt to deny that
the District Of Columbia is being shame
fully treated by the House of Repre-
sentatiyes,' said Mr.. Pearre. 1T is an
outrage that the people of the Capital
of the Nation should be deprived OF
their rights as they have been'at this
session of Congress.
'T am convinced that the ideal way
to administer the affairs of the Dis
trict would be for the District Commit
tees of the House and Senate to have
complete jurisdiction over all District
matters. IT Is ridiculous to limit the
scope of the present House District
Committee. The members of that COM
mittee are the members of the House
best qualified to judge the needs of the
District. Instead of permitting that
committee 10 administer the affairs of
the District without interference from
any other committee Of the House We
are compelled to submit to another COM
mittee-the House Appropriations Com
mittee, handling the appropriations for
the District.
Give the people of the District a
real District committee with full juris-
diction over all District legislation, free
from interference from other commit
tees of the House, and an iron-clad
rule against the present practice of
stealing District day every time the
House leaders feel disposed to do so
and the citizens of the District would
have no cause for complaint. | am
thoroughly convinced that if this is
not done there will be an overwhelming
sentiment in favor local self-govern-
ment. I would prefer to avoid II, but
the citizens of Washington have rights
which must not and will not be ignored
forever. They are entitled to their day
in the House and their demand for II
will be backed up by the country at
large. Members of Congress should re-
member that a large percentage of the
residents Of the District have influence
in Congressional districts throughout
the country. II this farcicaI perform
ance of stealing District day continues
| will not be surprised to see a con-
ceTted movement on the part Of the
citizens of Washington looking toward
self-government. Only one thing can
head it off, and that is justice and fair
play, and the sooner that is realized
by the House the better it will be for
all concerned"

the Land Office, and the Postoffice, the
hours are extended at least to 5 o'clock
daily for periods of several months at a

recently had an era of work for some
of its divisions up to and even 10 ana

thing for eXperimenters in the scientific
laboratories to work all night.
What shall be done to save the Gov
ernment service from misunderstand-
ing, when reputable writer's in the most
pharisaical of publications will indulge
such dnfairnessH
This is the sort of misconception and
misrepresentation that the, Government
employees must meet and overcome.
Nothing but united effort on their
part will accomplish it. They need to
make a great, big, united,-campaign
to straighten out public opinion. The
country is beginning to get the truth.
1t has not got all of it yet.
Nothing will do so much good as to
letters, newspaper clippings, articles,
and the like, addressed to the people
and the newspapers 'back home" When
the people get to understand the truth
about the Government employe, he will
get fair chance and in time a square
deal. He cannot hope for them sooner.
If about 5000 people in Washington
would write to the editors of the At
lantic Monthly, repudiating that state
ment and asking for a retraction, it
would help some.
