LABOR PROTESTS.

The American Federation of La
Dor has joined in the storm of pro-
test against the scheme of President
Taft and Postmaster General Hitch
cock to destroy the undertaking
magazines by the imposition Of an
unjust, discriminatory and confisca-
tory postage rate. AS Samuel Com
pers, president OF the federation
says: 1T is too late in the day to
tax intelligence or to hobble indus
try" Labor is directly interested
in the matter for the success of
the Taft Hitchcock scheme would
mean the ruin of a number of large
publishing concerns and the conse-
quent throwing out of work thous-
ands of employees of the printing
and allied industries. GOmperS
comments forcibly on this phase of
the situation in the following
words: Hunting for work is dis
couraging situation, and we will do
everything possible to keep public
officials from adding to the army
of the unemployed by hamstringing
the industries which supply our
wage earners with employment
Woodrow Wilson we'll describes
the Taft Hitchcock scheme as "a
direct tax upon information and
expression of opinion" But it is
more than that. 1t is a deliberate,
cunningly Matched conspiracy to
ruin and drive out of business a
certain element of the public press
that have been particularly obnox-
ious to the exploiters of the people.
It's supporters are reactionaries in
public Affairs, the lame ducks
and repudiated politicians. The
character of support the pro-
iect receives is we'll indicated by
the characteristic remark of Bal
ley,of Texas, one of the best friends
in the United States senate OF the
predatory interests, who is reported
10 have said: IF | had my way it
would be 40 cents a pound State
men of the Bailey type would give
good deal to put the "muckrak-
ing" magazines out of business.
The statements attributed to the
administration laying the postal de-
flict to the second class postage rate
are deliberately calculated to
deceive. The postal deficit, for 1910
is less than half what it was SO
years before, in 1860, while the vol
ume of second class mail carried
is twelve times greater. There
would be no deficit whatever if the
graft in the payment to railroads
for carrying mail were eliminated,
the ranking abuse reformed and
the whole postoffice mismanage-
ment, given a thorough cleaning
out.

BRYAN'S MAxIMS.
Some Saying of the Great Common
err on Current Topics.

William Jennings Bryan spoke
| in Memphis last Sunday, under the
auspices of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. Referring to that
occasion the -emphls Commercial
Appeal of Monday, says:
'The splendid audience which
greeted, and warmly cheered Will
liam Jennings Bryan, at the four
places where he spoke in Memphis
yesterday, and the crowds which
gathered obout every stop in his
route through the city to get a
glimpse of MIN and shake his hand,
are evidences of the power he holds
over the public, and prove that
he can still attract men of every
walk of life today as he did in 1896,
when his name first leaped from the
fires of political enthusiasm to the
tongue of the entire world. and
burned itself forever in the minds
and heats of the common people
who have ever loved him for his
great force and simplicity as a
| dllu IOI lilo O1lOl1 llic GAAOA W
in behalf of the great principles
he represents.
And the Commercial Appeal is by
no means Bryan paper. But the
Commercial Appeal is--a newspa-
per, and the above is from its
news columns. Which is but cum
ulative evidence that the day of
the political organ is passing, and
that in their news columns all well
conducted newspapers try to give
the news and tell the truth"
The Commercial Appeal also
makes special display of the fol-
lowing excerpts from Mr.. Bryan's
speeches: !,
Gambling is the worst sin, and
the worst gambling is that on the
stock exchange, board of trade and
chamber of commerce. 1t is prolific
of more ruin and suicide than
Monte Carlo.
