WORSE THAN ERROR
President Wilson's Endorsement
Of Un-American Measure.
sundry Civil Bill, Which Gives immv-
nifty From Criminal Statute TO Ger
tain Groups Of cttIDens. Il
Vicious Legislation.

President Wilson has signed the
Jundry civil bill, with the clause which
compelled President Taft to veto II,
and which gives to certain groups OF
citizens immunity from \ criminal
statute by forbidding the department
OF justice to use any part or the sum
granted It for enforcing that statute
in enforcing 1t against these groups.
All true and thoughtful friends Of
sacrifice upon the altar OF political ex-
pediency Of principle Of American
government to whose uphoiding Mr..
Wilson Is peculiarly pledged by party
and personal PROFESSIONALS principle
of the equality OF all citizens before
the law.
1t is true that Mr.. Wilson denies any
sacrifice Of principle. says TINT he
would gladly have vetoed that clause,
could he separate 1t from the rest OF
the bill, as placing limitation upon
the action OF the department OF JUS
tice "unjustifable In character md
principle" and consoles himself with
this reflection:
II do not understand that the Iimi-
tation was intended as either an
amendment or an Interpretation OF the
antitrust law. but merely rs an ex-
preston OF the opinion Of congress
not intended to touch anything
except the expenditure of single
small fund"
1t is to be regretted that President
Wilson does not better understand tho
ways Of "log-rolling" by which certain
appropriation bills are got through
congress. IL lie did he would not speak
OF this item as he does. he would
understand that II does not represent
the opinion" of congress. but In mere
l. the result of the ''log-roliing" actiyi-
ties OF certain members who needed
in their business" an exemptins Inter
probation" of the antitrust act.
So we have the spectacle Of a Demo-
cratic congress committing itself to.
and q Democratic president sanction
ing, the driving Of wedge OF prece-
dent for the classification or American
citizens and the exemption OF some
from penal laws which all others must
obey.
1t in a mournfuI spectacle, and cspo-
cially mournful with Woodrow Wilson
in the picture.

II Tons Of Beef for Troops.

The quartermaster generals depart
ment is making all preparation to feed
Michigan's $500 soldiers boys at the
annual ten.day encampment that VIII
be held next month near Ludington.
Some idea of the task which faces
the camp cooks may be gained from
the following amounts on which BIDS
have been requested by Quartermaster
General Rogers: $4,000 pounds of beef,
$4,000 pounds of bread, $500 pounds
of beans, $4,000 pounds Of potatoes,
1000 pounds of onions, 1000 pounds
OF prunes, $50 pounds of dried apples,
$50 pounds of dried peaches, 1,6OO
pounds of coffee, $500 pounds OF SUI
gar, $50 pounds of salt, so pounds OF
pepper. so pounds Of baking powder,
$50 pounds of rice, 600 pounds OF lard,
500 pounds of creamery butter, $500
pounds of bacon, 2S gallons OF vinegar,
sc gallons of pickles, 900 cans OF con-
densed milk.
Besides this list, It must be remem-
bered that the officers have a mess
table Of their own, which they pay for
out OF their own salaries.
In addition to the list given BIDS
have been asked for 40 tons of straw,
25 tons of hay and $4,000 pounds OF

Disappointing administrator.

Disappointing Administratton.
was Wilson man. but am far from
being satisfied with the results Of tho
administration. The appropriation
bill passed by congress, with its clause
preventing the prosecution of farm
ers and labor organizations for viola
tions of the antitrust law. is an out
rage. II that Is an index OF the admin
istration's judgment, 1t Is enough to
make any man stop and think. Two
classes of people are permitted TO vio-
late the law, and all othera are to be
prosecuted. That 10 nothing less than
rank discrimination. and does not In
sure confidence In the administration.
AS to tariff reductions and the income
tax, l have no fault to find. I rath-
er believe 1t will be well To give them
good trial and 1nd out what they
are worth. The Investigations by con-
gress / regard as largely humbug.--

Gently, are now making the rounds.
Kid Gleason, now assistant man
ager OF the White Sox, is responsible
Tor these Chris Won der Abe stories:
The browns had parade of players
and officials one opening day and Won
der Abe appeared wearing huge and
shining silk hat. AS the procession
wound its way In front OF the stands
Won der Abe repeatedly lifted his tile
and bowed. And SO It happened that
when Gleason was passing boy who

Are you ON the level?" asked GleaS

magnate.
Give me the $50 and I'll tell you"
replied Gleason.
The money was handed over and
Gleason said
Well Chris, did It."
20, you bum, you. you loafer,"
screamed Chris. Just for dat Ill fine
you $780,"
Another time, the Browns we're not
going along well. Chris received some
threatening letters from fans who
were mad because he had sold some
Of his star players. Others yelled to
him from the stand that they would
get" him.
The next afternoon, Just before 1t
was time for the game to start, Chris
appeared with a target and big re-
volver. Placing the target on the
fence he stood off few feet and land
ed six shots near the center.
Now, you loafers, come on II you
want to get me. Come on, / say"
he yelled as he turned toward the
stand again.
From Chicago come more stories
about Chris.
While he was club owner in 1897
Won der Abe was the victim of kid

sation at the time. During the Broth
erhood war Mark Baldwin attempted
to get Jack O'Connor to Jump" the
st. Louis Browns. Won der Abe, hear
Ing Of 1t, had Baldwin arrested in st.
Louis, which did not stand in court.
Baldwin retaliated by having Won der
Abe arrested in Pittsburgh on the
charge Of false Imprisonment and
eventually obtained judgment Of
$4,000 against the st. Louis mag
nate. 1t was up to his bondsman.

Induced to enter cab in which he
was driven across the bridge and then
forced in a Pullman stateroom. AL
though the victim fought every inch
of the way he was finally landed in
Pittsburgh and obliged to settle the
claim.
His former associates and players
never tire of telling stories of Won
