A Strong Man For Governor

Union Labor Review of Chicago)
What is his attitude toward organ
lied labor? All else being equal, this
should decide the question for or
against, with every man who carries a
union card. Not only has Sam Al
schiller always been outspoken in his
advocacy of the rights of workingmen
to organize, but he has fought yaliantly
on occasion to help them maintain that
right Thousands of men living in Chi
cago today preserve a vivid recollec-
ton of the 20" strike in 1887, and
hundreds of these took an active part
in it. Sam Alschuler was attorney for
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS during that bitter period and to
his untiring application to the inter
ests of his clients, as we'll as his per-
sonal feelings toward a body of men
who sought only to improve their con-
dition, may be solely attributed settle
ments and agreements which could not
have been accomplished through less

WANTS HIS CLOTHES BACK.

TEDDY" Roosevelt appears to be in
about the same state Of feelings as the
person who gives away an old suit of
clothes. A day or two afterwards the
donor meets the poor fellow who has
accepted the gift He has brushed up
the old suit, refurnished II in some par
ticulars and II appears to look so much
better than the one that he is wearing
that he regrets his liberality and has
a desire 10 pounce upon his friend and
take the suit away from him.
Four years ago the colonel hunted up
his friend Taft and greatly to the sor-
row Of many other politicians, gave to
Mr.. Taft the job of being president; in
other words, he gave him his old suit.
In the meantime Mr.. Taft has been
filling the Office on a large scale, at
least physically. and he has been re-
ceiving a considerable amount of at
tention. Now. when Mr.. Taft meets
Teddy" the presidential clothes look
so good on Taft that Mr.. Roosevelt
kind Of wishes he had them back again
II is not often that a fellow who has
given away an old suit Of clothes real
ly does pounce on the victim and tries
to take them away from him, although
a good many people feel that way, but
Roosevelt is an exception to all rules.
II remained for him to take after his
old suit good and hard, but it looks now
as though he would not be able to ger
It away from the chap to whom he pre-
sented IL four years ago.

NO COMPROMISE WITH WRONG


A dispatch from Hillsville, Va, says
there will be no compromise with the
Aliens.
There should be no compromise with
the Aliens nor should there be any
compromise with any set of criminals
under any circumstances. OF course,
it may be little unfortunate FORK few
detectives, constables, sheriffs or mem
bers Of the posses to be shot by few
desperate men hiding in the mountains
Of Virginia, but these are contingen-
cies which those people must encounter
that take the responsibility of execut-
ing the law.
It cost the lives Of several hundred
thousand men to capture Lees army
in this same neighborhood about so
years ago, but there was a principle
at stake and the government of the
United States considered that princi-
pie worth the lives of hundreds Of
thousands of men.
There is the same principle at stake
at the present time. That is whether
we are to be a government of the peo-
pie by laws or whether we are not and
it were better to sacrifice the lives OF
one, two or six or even ten innocent
men rather than let a band Of out.

Especial Correspondence of The ArgusD
Cordova, ILL.,, April "a vote for
Champ Clark for president at the
democratic primaries next Tuesday
is a vote for a man in public office
who says:
NO man is fit to be the lawgiver
for a mighty people who yields to the
demands and solicitations of the few
who have access to his ear and is for
getful of the vast multitude who may

A vote for Mr.. Clark as the demo-
cratic presidential nominee next Tues
day is a vote for man who advises
the democrats in Office everywhere;
that ''the best way to serve the party,
fellow democrats, is to serve the peo-
ple."

who has never wavered in the sup

an in 1896; for Bryan in 1900; for
Parker in 1904 and for Bryan in
1908, and for every other democratic
candidate since he became of age.
He not only voted but he supported
the ticket with pen and voice.

CANNOT FOOL THE PEOPLE AL
WAYS.

Despite the revelations Of the Law
renee strike, whereby 1t was shown
that men, women and children gave 10
hours of their time to the wooden trust
each day for wages of Sc, 81 and IS a
week, the high protectionists in con-
gress arose with the old wall about
protecting American labor" when the
wool bill was under discussion.
Fully a score of these protectionists,
driven TO desperation by the knowl-
edge that the democrats were determ-
ined to compel the wooden trust to quit
filching $5O,OO0,0OO from the pockets
Of consumers, fairly shouted the dan
gers that urged ahead for the working
men should the democratic measure
pass. Deserted towns and idle fac
tories, they said, would greet the trav-
eler throughout the New England
states should the bill be passed, and
from the present situation which sees
an army of men going happily to their
work in the great mill centers, en-
joying the fruits and benefits of that
prosperity which came to them as
result of the splendid 'Payne-AIdrich
tariff. we shall see the streets lined
with loafers; with fathers whose gaunt
and haggard faces proclaim the futile
struggle for bread with which to stop
the hunger cries of their little ones"
etc. etc.
That argument kept the high protec-
tionists in power for the last 16 years,
but If there was any part of IT that was
not shattered by the high cost of liv-
ing previous to the Lawrence strike,
and the revelations it disclosed, it
was completely wiped away then. The
! people will not soon forget that faith
ers, mothers and children testified in
Washington that the wages paid by the
millionaire mill owners in Lawrence
were the very lowest on which human
beings could exist, and that living and
working conditions were the most
shameful in this country, unless those
imposed by the steel trust, the other
great beneficiary of the tariff, be ex-
cepted. The people will not forget the
great lesson taught by this strike,
namely, that protecting American
working men" is the very last thought
in the minds of the millionaires who
insist upon a nigh tariff wall around
this country. They will not forget that
the one object of this tariff is to give
these millionaires the privilege of
gouging outrageous profits from the
pockets Of the consumer, while at the
same time paying wages that are
shamefully inadequate.
Now that the campaign approaches,
the protectionist orators are getting
out their old buncombe about the tariff
/ protecting American labor" and
from every platform, and in every
mail. the voter will be urged to give
support to those who want the taTif
kept just where it is. The workers
| will be told, over and over again, that
to cut the tariff will mean a cut il
his wages.
Such pleas will be very likely to fal
p on deaf ears. The people have ''got
the number" Of the tariff trusts, and il
any of these trusts again fool anybody
with their specious pleas, which ISM
likely, the one fooled will be able t.
blame his deception to the fact that ht

endorsement to the candidacy of Sam
Alschuler for the governorship of ILL
nois.
A citizen who has added prestige to
the reputation of Illinois because of
his legal ability. An honorable man,
whose integrity has never been Ques.
toned. A man for whom we have to
offer no excuses because Of lack of
courage and backbone" And above
all, man who offers as the most prom
lnent plank in his platform the follow
ing:
Il urge persistent and continuous in
yestigation into conditions of labor,
and the Inauguration and enforcement
OF wise and salutary legislation directed
toward ta) improvement of hygienic
and sanitary conditions of factories
and other places of employment; OBJ
ascertaining and guarding against oc-
cupational diseases; (c) adoption
from time to time, as reason, justice,
science and humanity suggest, of meth
DDS and appliances for increasing the
safety, comfort and welI-being of min
ers, railroad men and others who are
engaged in hazardous and other occu-
pations; Id eliminating the abuses Of
child labor.
The evils of the so-called loan
shark business should be promptly
and effectively eradicated through leg
islation, civil and criminal"
A careful study of all those who
have appeared for the governorship in
the campaign now on, leads Us irresist-
IDLY to the conclusion that labor has
most reason to expect fair dealing and
just consideration from Sam Alschuler
II he be elected governor, and We con,
fdently recommend him to the voters
OF Chicago and Illinois.

interesting talks to people who ask

in you, and show plainly the great
weight Of your words either for good
or evil. To me it seems you WELD
a great public influence and people
act upon your advice when they pay
no attention to any one else, but
when / read and noted the awful ad-
vice you gave a girl of IS when you
advised her to marry a man or Az,
whom she had caused to divorce his
wife, my blood ran cold and l could
scarcely believe my eyes. Why not
advise the girl to go away from her
present surroundings for a while,
giving her a chance to meet other
people and giving this man a chance
to again make friends with his wife
and children? If she married him
1t would not be long until she would
see her mistake and then she, too,
would want a divorce. / trust you
will write this girl and apologize to
her for your hasty and erroneous adj
vice on such an important matter"
1 am very glad, indeed, to receive
such letters, and invite more OF
them. Perhaps 1 did not make my
self quite clear in answer to this

Burned in Orphans, Home.

Dixon. Ill, April 4-The buildings of

from S 70 16. were made homeless.
The wife and son OF Rev. H. E. wirick

out the fire. The buildings were on a
farm of 100 acres at Nachusa The
land was worked by the older inmates.
The property was owned by the North

buildings we're valued at $4,000. The
