further to supplement the various ex-

Violence IN the Unions

Chicago Tribune: Every believer in
the trade union idea and every we'll
wisher of the organized labor move
ment will hope that the three men
charged with dynamiting the Los An
geles Times building will be able to
prove their innocence. The crime
charged is most terrible one, and
the mere suspicion that it. was COM
mitted by union men, or in compliance
with plot formed by union officials,
casts dark shadow upon the cause
of union labor throughout the coun-
try.
The charge made and the evidence
thus far exposed are too serious TO be
met by the counter charge of police
frame-up. They must be followed ener-
getically until they are verified or dis
proved. This is the demand of all good
citizens and should be above all the
demand of good union members
That there are elements among the
unions which do not hesitate to use
violence and to commit crime is only
too well known. Here In Chicago we
have had our education committee"
and wrecking crews. And within a
few weeks there was an outbreak OF
gun men which would have been
more in keeping with tough minin.s
camp or border town than a civilized
community
Now comes this evidence of the
uhalaco1ot rSo ~ 40
struction of life and property.
II this evidence is even approx
mately true the situation is the grav-
est union labor has ever faced The
people of the United States will not
submit to such methods Granting
great inequalities of fortune and much
social injustice, conditions are very
far from justifying resort to the des-
perate remedies of treason and blood
she'd II they are resorted to they will
result not in the intimidation of the
public, but in the drastic suppression
of all organizations which connive at
them.
The great mass OF union men are
law abiding citizens, a credit to the
country, and great source OF it's
strength and prosperity. The progress
siye betterment OF. these citizens
ought to be and Is the concern of the
nation. But 1t is these men who must
be first to set their faces against the
violence and criminality practiced by
vicious or misguided men In the union
ranks. If it should be proved that the
Times building was destroyed in la.
Dor plot, the tragedy will prove to be
far more hurtful to the cause of union

SOMETHING ABOUT
THE BOY SCOUTS
One Of the country's Unique and Fast
Growing Organizations
Its Principles

The Boy Scout organization was
founded by Baden-P Powell and Lord
Roberts in England about seven years
ago and was transplanted to this coun-
try Two or three years later, it's chief
promoter and organizer In America

scout of the national organization.
President Taft and Col. Roosevelt are
respectively the honorary president
and vice president, and many promi.
nent educators. clergymen and army
people are on the board OF directors.
and take a deep interest in it's objects
and work.
The basic principle of the organi-
cation is the cultivation OF nature life
for boys with reference to their de-
velopment in all manly qualities. 1t
accepts as legitimate the nature in
stincts Of boy for woodcraft and ad.
venture. and seeks 10 give expression
to these instincts along lines that
make for honor, courage, kindness and
helpfulness and true manhood. 1t is
a movement of most timely charac.
ter. in view Of the enervating and de-
moralizing influences that beset e
youth Of our nation, and that are MAX
ing degenerates Of large percentage
Of our boys and young men. The ideal
OF the boy scout organization is to sup
ply safe, attractive and natural sub
stitute for the dangerous, excessive
and deleterious occupations into which

such a natural substitute, to become

good without something to do that

for the proper ovelopment OF his
natural instincts. This the Boy Scouts
seeks to provide.
1T is an effort to get boys to appre.

train them in self reliance, manhood

OPIUM CULTURE

The POSTGRADUATE, medical maya
zine, reports rumor that plantation
for the growing of opium is to be es
tablished in this country. and says
that as our revenue laws prohibit
the importation of opium, except for
medicinal purposes, and as undoubt-
eddy opium could be cultivated in
some parts of our country in which
the climate is similar to that in which
1t is grown in the East, our govern
ment will be charged with the duty
of strictly supervising any attempt to
raise such crop. if it can be made
commercially successful" According
to this journal. 100000 pounds OF
opium are used annually in the United
States. hundred times more than is
prescribed by physicians.

AS we grow older and at last are left
Without the love that seemed so much

OF each days life that never had we
thought
OF 1t as love, but simply life itself,
What Is it that comes back of her
We miss
With tears more bitter because shed
so late?
Is 1t the loving counsels that throng
back.
The wisdom doubly priced as daily
proven?
is 1t her beauty and her graciousness
That haunts me while I wake, and
comes in dreams?
No, no. All day and many nights aud
days
My mind is filled with myriad little
things:
The way she kissed me when she tied
my hood
And sent me off to school, a little
girl;
The infinite pains she took to dress
my dolls
And make me parties" with real
things to eat;
And how she'd come dozen times at
night
To bring a drink, or comfort me,
afraid
My grown up years seem sudden blot
ted out
And all the day and in my dreams at
night
i see her doing ali the little things
That she, when we were children,
used to do.

When I had hurt myself, or some
one made me cry.
But now l weep; she cannot comfort
And bitterest are my tears that it's

ROOSEVELT NOT a CANDIDATE.

ROOSEVELT NOT A CANDIDATE.
Where Roosevelt Stands Today"
is the title of an authorized and for
NAL Interview with the former Presi-
dent Of the United States by Henry
Beach Needham in the current issue
of the Saturday Evening Post. In it
Colonel Roosevelt says: Il am not a
candidate for the presidency. and my
real friends will do me cruel in
justice If they seek to make me such. :"
He refers to his fight In the Saratoga
convention by saving that most of the
delegates did not agree with him on
the tariff and other matters, but were
ready to follow him for honest govern
ment, as opposed to boss rule, and
he had no power to reward or punish
any one. He had wanted to come
back from Europe and keep out of poll
ties, but was importuned to help along
the progressive movement. and it had
seemed his duty to do that without
regard to what might be the effect
On him personally. He feels that the
country is to be congratulated on the
prospect of getting closer trade re-
lation with Canada. and he urges the
plan OF popular election of senators.
The same should apply to nationl dele
gates to party conventions. Needham
quotes Roosevelt's roughrider friend,
John c. Greenway, as saying: Colonel
Roosevelt's greatest amo1tion is to
be shot on the field of battle

THE TRUTH ABOUT BROWNS
WILLIE

AT last we seem to have the anthem
TIC inside truth about the Browns
VILE affair. 1t will be recalled that
this Texas border town was shot UP
by persons who have never been
brought to account for their wild ex-
plot. although the facts have been in
yestigated officially FIVE times and the
testimony taken would fill many vol
umes. Now comes William E. Curtis,
the well-known newspaper correspond
ent, who has been visiting in the
neighborhood, and who says.
1t was night raid made by eleven
enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, which was the garrison at
Fort Brown, upon saloons in the
neighborhood which refused to sell
drinks to colored soldiers. 1t is as
serted here that the eleven men who
participated were positively identified
and warrants were issued in their
names. If the commandant had per-
mitted them to be arrested and pun
ished that would have been the end
of it, but the officers of the regiment
who knew the men that did the shoot
ing just as well as the culprits them
selves, not only encouraged, but en-
Joined them to hold their peace, and
it soon became question of honor
for them to do SO. No secret was
ever better kept. and it is remark
able illustration of the fidelity of the
colored race. There is no doubt that
the whole affair was due to lax dis
cipline on the part of the officers, who
should have been punished instead of
the men,
The explanation is plausible one
If correct, it puts the blame for con-
cealing the culprits on the officers
instead OF on the men. The conspir-
acy of silence theory explains many
things otherwise inexplicable.
