a GENERAL STRIKE
Is the Appeal from the Industrial
Workers of the Void.

Lawrence. Mass, Feb 4.-An appeal
for general strike of all working
classes in the city was contained in a
circular issued oyer the signature Of the
strike committee of the Industrial
Workers of the World. late tonight. The
circular was one of three calls" which
were headed as follows: y call for ae-
ton to all workers OF Lawrence "A
few words TO all workers who have re
turned to the mills" and "a call 10 the
soldiers and militiamen
In the first of the three the commit
tee calls upon the workers To get to-
gether and tie up the town. It reads in
part:
Fellow workers, comrades: The hour
has arrived that words no longer are
enough to show that YOU are heart ana

of capitalists have shown the unity OF

with us in this great movement. Our
cause IS Just.

ployed TO cause division of our ranks n

In the communication addressed te Inc
workers who have returned to their ma
chimes the strike committee urges them
10 quit and return 10 the ranks. The
soldiers many of whom are mill work
ers themselves, are urged not 10 crush
the strikers and 10 remember that they
themselves must sooner or later return
to the mills and the conditions depend
upon the outcome of the strike.
Many of the calls are printed on small
gummed slips which are being stuck on

Gov. Stubs has wired Rees and
Young that he was misquoted in the
State Journal. The State Journal
says the governor was quoted as he
expressed himself which will prob
ably start an interesting controversy
at Topeka. 1t has long been the
habit of the insurgent leaders to
announce positively that there have
been received hundreds of tele-
grams" for whatever they wanted.
when as a matter of fact not tele-
gram had been received and the
whole matter was connection OF
few self appointed bosses. They
have done this so often that 1t be-
came tiresome. They did it on the
Roosevelt matter and hurt the cause
OF Mr.. Roosevelt in Kansas by the
tactics followed. Roosevelt had a
large following in the state but the
obnoxious bull-headed bossism of the
leaders disguised the people and the
state will be for Taft. Mr.. Rees

COOP COUNSEL.

d. w. Mulvane of Topeka, national
Republican committeeman from Kan
sas, counsels wisely when he says:
President Taft will be renominated;
that is settled. Under the banner
Of Republicanism with President
Taft at the head Of the ticket In
Kansas, we must make the fight
Whatever we do now as Republi-
cans to oppose the nationwide Re-
publican sentiment that is apparent
for the presidents denomination
will only tend to weaken the Whole
ticket in the state and in every coun-
ty thereof"
Mr.. Mulvane's words should oe
given serious consideration by ever5
sincere Republican. They are freight

while only one-fourth Of the total

support OF ten others, thus giving
nearly one-half Of the votes needed to

SOWING THE WIND.

Some extraordinary language was
used by Justice Lurton OF the United
states Supreme court, in deciding
the mimeograph patent case. Such
decisions anger the people and put
arguments into the mouths OF those
who advocate revolutionary meth
DDS OF getting back" at judges
who lose sight of the peoples inter-
ests in their devotion to the extreme
letter Of the law. Judge Lurton
maintains that patentee may not
only prescribe how his patent may
be used, but may, II he chooses, act
ually suppress it altogether.
We may be forced, in time to
recast our patent laws, or possibly
to adopt a totally different method
of rewarding inventors. He must
be an unreasonable man indeed who
would object to the most liberal
policy toward those who have thus
contributed to the worlds comfort
and profit. But under present laws
the inventor often goes wholly unre-
warded. Years of costly litigation
were required to settle the telephone
patents. and many who closely FOL
lowed the course of that litigation
still believe it was settled in favor
of the wrong man. The invent@
