BARRIERS Cut Orphans Hair.

Twelve members of the st. Paul
BARRIERS union went to st. Joseph's
Orphan asylum on recent Sunday
and cut the hair of lightweight orphan
boys there free of charge, making this
sacrifice of their holiday for the good
of the union and organized labor IN
general. Their generosity is worthy OF
high commentator and is we'll appre-
ciated In the community where the
people have knowledge of 1t.
The scenes at the asylum were SO
pathetic that they moved many Of the
BARRIERS who were doing the charitable
work to tears. The orphans sang
songs, recited selections and gave their
visitors other forms of entertainment
1t is the purpose of the union to visit
every institution in the city which has
orphans among Its inmates once In
about every six weeks and do this
kind of charitable work. - Minnesota

A BIG DIFFERENCE.

The difference between the EN-
pIoyer who gives due credit to
the existence of the trade unions
and the employer who would dis
credit and destroy the trade IN
ion is that the former is clear
sighted enough to see that there
is just as logical and legal a
cause for the existence of the
trade union as there Is for an as
ISOLATION Of employers. He Is
also not unmindful of the Ger
tain fact that the trade unions
thrive well under the severest
adversely and opposition, prov
ing the justice of the cause there
in represented, while the EN-
ployer who hates and would
discredit has become blinded by
his own infatuation, nonprogres
sive and intolerant of those who
must give service to others to
live and would make slaves OF
those in his employ, his blind
ness preventing him from seeing
the hard, cold facts Of the proc
ess of evolution that are plainly
visible to the more tolerant and
logical mind. The awakening
will be all the more rude to the
impractical when 1t comes.

Russian Soldiers Shoot Nearly Two
Hundred Mine Workers.
The explanations given to the Rus
sian duma by the minister of the In
terror and the ministry Of commerce
and industry regarding the recent
shooting down of strikers in the Lena
gold fields have been attacked sharply
in the St Petersburg press, says the
New York Post. The Novoe Vremya,
the Reich and the Bourse Gazette dwell
on the discrepancies of the respective
statements. While M. Makaroff con-
tended that the labor movement bore
political character and that the
troops were compelled to fire in self
defense, M. Timasheff demonstrated
the essentially economic nature Of the
mems grievances.
M. Timasheff declared that the new
company Systematically violated the
law regarding the conditions of labor,
notably by applying the truck system.
The ministry Of commerce and indus
try had repeatedly censured the man
agcment. These violations of the law
were the starting point Of the labor
troubles. The pledges given by the
company to observe the law and the
promises of certain concessions encour-
aged the hope of peaceful settlement
of the strike when the police authori-
ties suddenly arrested the mems dele
gates on the plea that they were So
cialists. The shooting followed. NJ.
Makaroff tried to justly the shooting
of 1853 workmen because political con-
victs of Socialist proclivities were to
be among the lenders of the strike. al

they were responsible for single IL

Conquering of the Sioux

vented their massacre by the de-
feated savages. ...:.
The speaker described the awful
condition of the 425 Indian prisoners
at Mankato and the terrible hatred
and prejudice which possessed the
whites to the extent of there being
no hope of a fair trial for the red
prisoners. The trials as described
by Mr. Hughes were mockery.
Three hundred and three were con.
demned to hang but later President
Lincoln pardoned all but 40. One of
these, negro named Godfrey, who had
turned states evidence, was allowed
to live and serve ten years prison
sentence. The missionaries discov-
cred that one of the condemned for
ty was Christian Indian and to
their knowledge was miles away
from the scene of the murder with
which he was charged. This left
thirty-eight to hang and they were
executed at Mankato.
Later it was discovered that a
sixteen year old white boy had been
hanged. He had been captured by
the Indians and was with them and
dressed as an Indian when taken by
the soldiers. 1t was also later dis
covered that they had hung the
wrong Indian whose name happened
to be very similar to that of one Of
those condemned. The speaker had
no doubt that many other innocent
red men were hanged at that time.
1t has since been learned that most
of the Indians guilty of the great
atrocities made their escape into
Canada and were there when their
innocent companions suffered death
for their crimes.
During the months that the cap
tured Indians were held prisoners at
MankatO and Fort Smelling the
Christian missionaries worked among
them and there was real revival of
religion. 1t was scoffed at by the
whites at the time but it has since
developed that the conversions were
genuine and resulted in Christianiz-
ing and civilizing many Of the saw
age Sioux. What are known to us
as the Flandreau Indians are de-
scendants Of the converted ,Mankato
prisoners. Prof. Eastman of Dart

ton that makes taxation necessary.
Out of the experiments of govern
ments i'm the past, modern govern
ments have come to derive revenue
mainly by two methods, one the di-
rect, the other the indirect method
of taxing. The direct tax is based
upon Adam Smiths third principle
that everyone should contribute to
the general expense in proportion to
his ability to pay" In theory, al
though not always true in practice,
ability to pay is measured by the
amount and value of property owned
by an individual and is known with
us as the general property tax. The
indirect method levieS tax on a
commodity or service. Except where
limit is put upon what price may
be charged for commodity or serv-
ice, those owning the one or rem
dering the other may add the tax to
cost and, merged in price, pass it
on to be paid by the. consumer OF
the served. OF this form Of taxation
our gross earnings tax and the IL
cences paid by liquor dealers are IL
Illustrations.
The direct tax is intended to rest
where paid and not be shifted on
to others and, largely, this is true.
1t cannot be shifted where the per.
son paying it cannot make the price
of what he sells. 1t can be where
that power exists, as with land
lords, for instance, who may merge
taxes i'm rentals, or money lenders,
who may make borrowers pay the
tax levied on credit instruments. Pr

Organized society, usually called
government has many objects be-
sides securing to people the Fright
to life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness" TO attain these ends it
frames policies promOtive of the
general welfare and it deviscs ways
and means to defray the cost of car
rying out it's policies. The latter is
the age-lons problem of taxation. '-
1t is a general policy of govern
ment to do those things for all which
no one could do as we'll or at as
low cost for oneself. For instance
it establishes public schools under
that policy. TO secure to all the
right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" it must preserve
order, insure enjoyment of those
rights. protect individuals and prop
erty. To do this it has to establish
and maintain courts and their STATS
of officials TO give effect to these
and the many ether functions of
government public buildings must be
erected and maintained, land and
material bought and a large number
OF persons employed, all of which
must be paid for.
Organized society has no other
way to obtain the money with which
to defray these costs than by COM
polling those who get the benefits TO
contribute the money. 1t cannot
make money" 1t can borrow it, but
the call upon the citizen. Without
money to carry on it's activities gov
eminent could not exist and society
would relapse into the barbarism
from which its organizing redeemed
