brated their sixth anniversary with a
sermon at the Varick Memorial church.

Chancellor B. G. Collier and made a
magnificent showing.

temple on Locust street and marched
with the Second regiment, under the
command OF Colonel a. G. Scroggins,
and, headed by the famous Elks' band,
proceeded out Of Locust street to Broad
with the Second Regimental band Of
Knights Of Pythias following, with
700 knights neatly attired with Prince
Albert coats and silk hats.
When the procession stretched out
on Broad street it reached from Locust
to Fitzwater, and. with drums beating,
flags and banners flying. it was con-
ceded that il was one Of the greatest
demonstrations OF colored men ever
witnessed in the city. The line was
perfect, and the conduct Of the mem
bers was in keeping with the the Or

PRESIDENT GOMPERS is DEFIANT
Judge Wright Renders Modern "Dred Scott Decision in
Wave Slavery and Aids in Forcing
Recall of Judges

Samuel Gompers after learning
of the decision of Judge Wright
gave out the following statement
Justice Wright's decision typi-
ties in an acute manner the con-
tention which labor has made
against the practice which has
been usurped by courts of equity
in dealing, not with property rights
but with personal relations-nor-
NAL, personal activities-a practice
entirely at variance with constitu-
tional government, with govern
ment by law.
"In this case the judge has
acted as the initiator of criminal
contempt, appointed the attorneys
of private litigants to prepare a
complaint and prosecute it to a
conclusion. The judge has heard
the evidence. He himself deter
mined the oredibility of witnesses.
He then formulated his decision
and executed it by imposing prison
sentences.
Facts, and the evidence in the
case, have been suppressed and
perverted, and the purpose of my
self and my colleagues entirely
mis-represented.
There is not in the evidence,
nor can there be found therein or
elsewhere, one single fact upon
which to base the statement of
Justice Wright that we have vio-
lated any law of the State, Nation
or District of Columbia.
"We have contended that a
court has no right in advance to
enjoin or prevent publication; that
anyone who speaks or publishes
anything which is either seditious
or libelous should be made to ans.

PARADE is AT NOON

In order that the country folks
can have as much time at home on
circus day as is possible, also that
incoming excursionists can have
the opportunity of witnessing the
immense circus and wild west par
ade of Yankee Robinson and Texas
Bill, the event does not take place
until high noon. Promptly at that
time the parade moves, then all
the outside free exhibitions are
given at the show grounds. For
those who come in early there is

it is advisable when convenient,
to come in as early as possible, At

wer before the law, and before a
jury, but the attempt in advance
to prevent expression of opinion
either orally or by publication is
an unwarranted invasion of con-
stitutionally guaranteed rights.
Justice Wright physically lives
in our time, but his decision and
sentences disclose a mental con-
cept of more than two centuries
ago, when the workingman was
either slave or serf.
eff Justice Wright imagines
that by imposing prison sentences
upon my associates and myself he
can stop human progress he has
missed his point. Long after he
is gone; after he may have attempt
ed to silence us, others will speak
others will be heard, and the prin-
ciples for which we are now con-
tending, and perhaps may suffer,
will be established beyond perad-
venture"

THE TARIFF QUESTION

Governor Wilson is too enlight-
ened an economist to lay too much
stress upon the malign influence
of the tariff, and nobody knows
better than he that trusts exist
without protection and that the
rise in the cost of living is not con-
fined to the United States or to
protection nations. No doubt he
will have some highly interesting
things to say about the tariff New

PANICS ARE MADE

Senator LaFollette recently said,
regarding Mr.. Roosevelt's connec-
tion with the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Company transaction, that
Morgan and the Standard Oil had
started the panic" of 1907, and
that "it was an artificial panic,
rugged up to order, to enable GER
tain interests to hammer down
stocks and to buy in dangerous
competitors"
1t cannot be intelligently con-
tradicted that there has not been
fifteen days, at any time within
the last fifteen years, during which
the influences controlling the New
York central banks could not have
caused to order, inside of forty
eight hours, just such "a panic as
that of 1907.

The Little Movement Has
Meaning Of its Own

FACING the certainty Of defeat under the
present alignment office hungry Republicans
are endeavoring to heal the breach in their
party.
10 this end it is proposed to petition
President Taft to withdraw as presidential
candidate. If successful in this, T. R. is also
to be induced to forego his third term ambi-
ton.
thus it is seen to what lengths office seek
politicians are willing to go in an effort to
reach the goal Of their desires.
The result of such program, even in the
event of the preliminary steps being carried
through, would spell catastrophe. For in the
face of such tacit admission of steam roller
theft, and the "blowing-up" of the Moose,
earnest, and thoughtful American voters will
hardly rally around the Republican national
machine of which there is little left but the
rusty running gear.

WIFE SEEKS TO Be FREE
Charges Cruelty and Non-Sup-
port in Suit Against Rob-
ert B. Brown.

Robert B. Brown, lawyer. was cited
today by Chief Justice Clabaugh to show
cause next Friday why he should not
pay alimony to his wife. Sara A. Brown
The citation is based on a proceeding
for legal separation with alimony filed
by the wife, in which she charges cruelty,
non-support and infatuation with another
woman. Mrs. Brown says her husband
has cut off her support, although she esti-
mates his income at $4,000. says he owns
real estate worth $4,000 and claims to
be the owner of property in Mexico val
ued at $780, Mrs. Brown asserts that
a portion of this property stood in her
name, but alleges her husband cajoled her
into signing deeds transferring the prop
erty to him.
