Discontinue of MIR, Post,

There can be no doubt that the suit
instituted by @. w. Post against the
American Federation of Labor and the
Bucks Stove and Range company as
Joint defendants In 1911 was merely
an attempt to harass or destroy the
American Federation of Labor. Two
federal judges have rendered decisions
declaring the suit without merit and
dismissing it.
BY embarrassing organized labor
through such litigation Mr. Post hoped
to lnjure and discourage our move
ment. But he has failed In that even
as he failed In the economic field
Strengthened by conviction of the
Justice and verify of our cause, we shall
prevail over all opposition. American

a Friend of Labor.

Governor Johnson's uncompromising
regard for the rights Of the worker
says the San Francisco Bulletin, is
shown In his opposition to an amend
ment to the workmen's compensation
act, exempting farmers from the pro-
visions of that humane measure de-
signed to protect the rights of men and
the families of men injured in the dis
charge of their duties. Rather than
to thus weaken the law and to frus-
trate the extortions of insurance COM
panies he proposes system of cheap
state insurance by which employers,
for small sum, may escape the risk
of heavy payments in compensation to
injured employees.

FOR THE CHILDREN.

For the welfare of the state
child life must be protected. Not
only should the child be guaran-
teed the right to be born equal.
but 1t must be given the chance
to live, to grow, to learn and to
develop into useful and patriotic
citizenship. The work period
must not be permitted to infringe
on the formative and the ma
turing period. Compulsory edu-
cation laws and restrictions upon
child labor. properly enforced,
will secure to every child of the
state its rightful heritage. No
business has an inalienable right
to child labor.-Governor Sulzer.

MARTHA.

a LITTLE girl,
~ Barefooted. ragged, with neglect
ed hair,
Eyes full Of laughter, neck and
shoulders bare,
A thin slip of girl. like new moon,
Sure to be rounded into beauty soon;
A creature men would worship and adore,
Though now In mean habiliments she bore
A pail of water. dripping through the
street
And bathing as she went her naked feet.
1t was pretty picture, full of grace.
The slender form. the delicate, thin face;
The swaying motion as she hurried by
The shining feet, the laughter in her eye
That DER her face in ripples cleaned and
glanced
AS In her pail the shifting sunbeams
danced

Her Husbands Belief.

At a meeting Of woman suffrage
organization in Kansas City, Kan, 1t
was suggested that the members talk
to their servants and other women
workers with view to forming an
estimate as to the strength Of suff-
rage sentiment in that particular To-
cality. One member, who has employ.

last six years, reported that she put
the question to this worthy lady:
Are you in favor of votes for wo-
men?"

All-Night Theaters.

Many Indian theaters keep their
performances going until four or five
In the morning. These dramatic or
gies are not, says the Times, of India,
however, due to the length of the
plays, as in Chinese theaters, but to
the fact that the tramcars do not be-
gin running till five o'clock. AS the
spectators gather from distant viii
lagos and have strong objections to
paying gharry hire, they expect to be
entertained until the trans start. One
can scarcely wonder that theaters in
which the actors and actresses are on
the stage from eight in the evening
till five In the morning do not display
much histrionic excellence. OF course,
the system would be impossible if the
theaters were open every night of the
week, but the strain on the players
must be cruel, though it is confined to
Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday
nights. One has often been struck In
an Indian theater by the leisurely
manner in which everything is done.
Now we have the explanation.

as the result of an accumulation of
inquiries as to the best methods OF
exterminating bats.

VIKINGS IN HISTORY
MOST ROMANTIC FIGURES OF
THE AGES PAST.
Norway Always the Home Of FabIed
and Real Heroes Who Dominated
Sea and Land Twelve
Centuries Ago.

Perhaps the most romantic figures
In history. at least to the boys and
girls who love adventure and daring
deeds, are the Vikings. Centuries
have passed since the appearance of
an unknown ship at sea was the sig
nal for terrified prayer by priests and
people, the burden of which was
Save US, o Lord, from the rage Of
the Norsemen." But even to this day
the word Viking has power to thrill
such as few other words possess.
Norway is the real home of the W.
kings, for, from the tabled time when
Odin, their god, led his followers out
Of Asia and settled with them In Nor
way, such an unreasoning love Of
freedom Influenced the fierce Morse
men that not one Of them was willing
to be ruled and all wanted to rule.
Thus 1t came about that the country
was divided into very small portions,
and over each portion ruled a petty
lord. known as a jarl or earl. These
little domains naturally quarreled
continually, and so things were in q
sad plight until Harold, the Fair
Haired, upon the death of his father,
was proclaimed king. The lad was
only ten years old at the time, but the
Norsemen matured early, and so 1t
was not very long before he fell in
love with Gyda, the beautiful daugh-
ter of a petty King ruling over
neighboring land. He sent an am
bassador to ask her hand in mar
riage, as was the custom of the time;
but Gyda, who evidently was very am.
bilious indeed, sent back a message
saying that she would become King
Harold's wife only when he had con-
quered all Of Norway and bent 1t to
his rule as King Erik had conquered
Sweden. AS soon as Harold had re-
ceived this message he took solemn
oath not to cut his beautiful hair until
he won Gyda for a bride on her own
conditions.
True to his word, he conquered
Norway and, as a consequence, Gyda
became his bride.
Up to the time Of the wedding feast
he had been known as THE Frowsy
Haired" but afterward he was called
all over his conquered kingdom, Har-
old Haarfelger. which means the
fair-haired.
1t was with the reign of Harold the
Fa1r-Haired that the Viking age be-
gan.
Although Harold had conquered
Norway, he had by no means subdued
the fierce love for freedom in the
hearts of his subjects. Those who
had ruled over petty kingdoms re-
fused to be subject to the rule of any
man, and so they sailed away and be.
came sea robbers, or Vikings.

MAJORITY OPPOSES
NEW CAUCUS PLAN
Progressives Are Also Against
Conferences Which Bind Men
to Majority Vote.

The plan of the Democratic leaders IN
Congress, both in House and Senate. 10
do most of the leEislating through the
medium of the secret caucus is causing
widespread protest. Many of the DEM
ocratic members do not relish the plan.
and are getting more and more restive
with regard to it.
Now come the Bull Moose members
of the House and announce that they
are going to have no secret conferences.
They will have conferences, a number
of them, butt they will throw the doors
open to the newspaper men and let, the
light of day IN on their proceedings.
The Bull Moose leaders hold that this
is not only in accord with the principles
for which theyS stand, but that it will
he of no smaIl value to point out to the
country the difference in their way OF
handling legislative business and the
method favored by the Democratic
leaders.
Oppose Secret Caucus.
The progressive Republicans generally
take the same view as the Bull Moose
members. They have no use for secret
caucus on legislation, and hove been
eriticising it for years Many of them
have been steadfastly refusing to take
part in caucuses on legislation
1t is pretty certain that the decision
of the Progressive party leaders TO have
nothing to do with the secret legisla-
tive caucus or conference and to have
their conferences in the open is goinS
TO make it extremely difficult for the
Democratic leaders TO carry out their
plans. The secret caucus is already De
ing subjected to sharp criuclsm ootp
from within and without the Democratic
membership of Congress. So long as
IL is adhered to, it is easy enough TO
tie members up hand and foot by the
vote of a aSmaiority of the caucus In
dividuality,- either in expression OF opin-
ion or in voting when a bill is taken
up on the floor of either house is an
impossibility.
Not a few of the Progressive party
leaders believe the force of their sex-
ample will suffice to drive the Demo-
Gratis to open their caucus rooms and
stop the framing up of legislative pro-
grams behind closed doors.
Smashed One Party.
In the DAYS of Aidrich and Cannon,
the Republican leaders persisted In
forcing down the throats Of lot Of
unwilling Republican members of House
and Senate such legislative prescriptions
as small coterie agreed on. II was
this persistence that finally smashed the
Republican, party in Congress, leading
to insurgency and the driving of both
Aidrich and Cannon into retirement.
The m..aie insurgents stopped going
to@secret caucuses on legislation, that
minute the power of Aldrich and Cam
non began to wane. History is likely
10 repeat itself if the Democratic ma
chine at the Capitol persists in the AL
drich and Cannon way of running things
there.
In any event, the Progressive party
leaders in the House plan to hold the
old caucus method up to attack at every
opportunity.
