Even Roosevelt, the erstwhile idol OF
the nation, has not the grace to apol-
ogize to labor for his action while
governor of the state of New York
in using the militia to compel the
workers to break the eight-hOur law
in that state, or to Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, for branding them as
criminals and undesirable citizens,
before trial; or to the mine workers
of Goldfield, Nevada, for using the
nations troops to whip them into sub
mission when they were undeniably
in the right and their oppressors un-
deniably in the wrong.
WKorking hand in hand with the
Republicans in their disregard for the
interests of labor, is the Democratic
party, as exemplified in the decisions
Of the supreme court whenever they
get chance to rap labor on a sens
tive spot. It seems to make no diff
ference what the politics of the rival
judge. the decisions are always adj
verse to labor's interest.
Then there Is sentiment. not q
party. that is the cause Of much of
labor's woes. the so-ca1led Independ-
ent voters. They presume that it is
nobody s business how they vote. for
getting the FACT. that the way they
vote affects all the rest There Is no

tion and gives excuse to much that is
filthy and rotten in politics.
The administration Of government
is unable to help labor, even If so
Inclined. We elect some 400 men to
make laws, then appoint ten men for
life to set those laws aside as I'M
constitutional, and employ an army of
80, 900 lawyers to guess at what those
judges mean when they say anything.
The churches as organizations do
not help, as their province is to feed
the soul, and labor's problem is to
feed the stomach.
Your newspapers do not help; on
the contrary. they hinder, and we are
beginning to believe that there are
few Of them that are not subsidized
to mis-educate us, to create wrong
IDEAS, and lead our thoughts to their
own ends.
Now, instead of discussing the cues
tion, should labor enter politics. .,
perhaps it would be more advisable
to have some Of our brothers tell us
some reasons why labor should NOT
enter politics.
Il seems to me that It win take
quite lot Of moral courage OF moral
depravity, do notsknoW which, on
the part Of the worhngman, to call

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug. B. Senator Boise Penrose from Pennsyl- vania, again went after Theodore Roosevelt this morning in the upper house of congress and stated he was prepared to prove the trusts are back ing the colonel for the presidency.
 For two hours Penrose entertained the senate this morning. speaking in the main upon the Panama canal bill, and the threatened rate war likely to result as the outcome of granting to American bottoms free tolls through that waterway. But time and again he would digress from the main sub feet matter to hand Colonel Roosevelt a few hot shots. and explain how he happens to be in the present race. That having heard his masters voice the trusts. he had to obey, and follow their dictates, which he finds rather easy matter to do. in so much the re- ward is a chance to break into the White House again."

Senator Penrose stated in the senate this morning Theodore Roosevelt would never have been nominated by what he calls his progressive party had not George Perkins, the confi- dential agent and associate of J.

 "I have information to show and be- lieve it will be hard for Roosevelt to refute the same. Perkins and asso- ciates had underwrtten Teddy for three millions. do not say that they will remain behind the colonel. but the visits of Perkins to oyster Bay, his many conferences with Roosevelt will be readily understood when the public knows there were three millions at stake.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

TIMES HAVE CHANGED
In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school. and going away
to college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests.
and goes to meetings. con-
ventions, on visits and jaunts.
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean a
broader life and better op-
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element Of
anxiety and loneliness, due
to separation. Trains are
delayed. epidemics break out
in schools. rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rections. very often ground.
less. yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization of the telephone
possibilities enjoyssthe great
est peace Of mind.
