think that one side can play with
the forces of injustice and tyran-
ny and not lead to a defensive
move on the part of the other?"
Gompers then drew a picture of
the battle that was waged against
the iron workers union by the
steel trust.
Il would have you ponder" he
said, "how it is that among a peo-
pie protesting to believe in the
brotherhood of man and the Cos
pei of love, men and American
citizens can look upon violence
and dynamite terror as the only
defense left them against the
tyranny of the masters. That is
a terrible charge against so
ciety.
And what of the other con
spiracy? What of the conspiracy
of organized capitalize conspir-
acy to murder the liberty of the
toilers, to tear from them the
means of protection by which
they have bettered their condi-
ton, to leave them bare and de-
fenseless in the competitive strug-
gle? Is not such a conspiracy
sufficiently, dastardly to incur
some odium? Should the conspir-
ators, with their hands stained
with blood of mems ambition,
happiness, liberty, be accorded
nothing but honor, power, respec-
liability? Should they be allow

who have felt or know the powers
pitted against the weaker ele-
ments, who have felt the cruelty
and heaTtlessness of the world of

climbing over and standing on
those they have struck down and
defeated?
Even the Judge who tried the
case smugly declared that the
evidence in this case will con-
vince any impartial person that

itely to be preferred to govern

POISON PROOF BABY
PUZZLES PHYSICIANS

Greenville. Feb. 25.-Baffling all
local physicians and upsetting all
theories of medical science, 2year-
old Jimmie Spring, is alive, and ap-
parently healthy. after having swai-
lowed medicine and poison sufficient
to kill several ordinary persons. The
child first frightened its mother by
swallowing the contents of two
ounce bottle of aconite pills. and was
given a small dose of mustard and
hot water pending the arrival of a
physician.
While his mother was out of the
room the youngster swallowed the en-
tire bowl of mustard and scalding
water, and when a physician arrived
to administer ipecac the boy stole the
bottle and swallowed seven times an
ordinary dose To the utter astonish-
ment of physician and family, the lat
ter drug had no effect, and the human
mortar is to all appearances, in good
health.

the officers of the league that result

1--WE expected some criticism" said
Mrs. Willard, president of the league,
last night, "but we did not think it
would take so determined form.
I'VE have said repeatedly that the
league is not organized to attack the
grocers or any set of merchants. We
wish to be fair and just and our only
reason in establishing store is to
show that the present method of hand
ling produce is unnecessarily expen-
sive and cumbersome.
Our plan will go right ahead as

LISTER RETURNS PUBLIC
HIGHWAY BILL WITH VETO

Olympia, Wash. Feb. 25.-Gover-
nor Lister returned to the house the
public highway bill providing for a
mill and half tax levy, vetoed He
expresses his desire 10 further good
roads, but states that the increase of
S2,5O0,O0O at this time, which the
passabe of the bill and the two and
a half mill permanent levy already
passed by the house would require,
is not. in his opinion, justified. He
advocates the passage of bill pro-
viding for public highway levy OF
one and a half mills. This would
produce revenue of five million dol
lars in the biennium. whereas the
levies which he vetoes would produce
eight millions. He advocates the pas
ssge of bill fixing the levy so that
it will not be subject to change year
after year.

pensation of SIS per day which the

HOT LUNCHES SERVED TO
PUPILS OF PAUL SCHOOL.

Walla Walla, Wash, Feb. 25.-Miss
Bessie Mccullough, who is conduct
ing the school in District No. IA
known as the Paul school, has inaug
urated the hot lunch system for her
pupils, and is, so far as known, the
only one in Walla Walla county that
has taken this action in her school.
Miss Mccullough has five pupils in
her school. and the warm lunch at
the noon hour has proven a great sue
cess.
The pupils take turns in furnishing
the edibles, alternating with the
teacher who acts as cook and also
does the serving. During the noon
hour the lunch is warmed on the
heating store. the table is set" and
the instructor and the young people
enjoy the meal as much as if they
were in their homes or in any cafe.
Miss Mccullough has found that the
plan has enabled both herself and
the pupils to do better work, and it
is probable that other teachers will
adopt the hot lunch system another
year

MADERO'S DEATH
WORK OF COWARDS

New York. Feb. 25.-Without ex-
ception the New York newspapers
condemn the Staying of deposed Pres
ident Madero and Vice-President Su-
arez. Following are extracts:
World-They were shot to death by
towards acting in behalf of other cow
ards whose false excuses only add to
their guilt. President Taft is en-
phatically right in his policy of nom
Intervention except as a last and jes-
perate resort. We have the utmost
right to safeguard the lives of our
own people and foreigners. We have
no obligation to keep the people of
Mexico from each others throats.
Tribune-There is no darker page
than this, which Huerta has written
in the blood of the Maderos.
Sun-Poor Madero stood, however
totteringly, for deep, imperious. in
escapable reforms. Victim of another
tyranny, Madero's name may stand
with those of Hidalgo and Morelos.
Herald-Let no one consider this is
time for hasty action on wild talk
of intervention. The serious aspect
is that if this was done in cold blood
1: transcends all laws of civilization.
American-While murder succeeds
in Mexico, Taft, the man of straw,
makes bland speeches about the ne
cessity of patience and the part of a
big brother we are to play.

WISDOM IN DRESSING.


An Eng.ishwoman addressing a
school of girls, said, "I would express
my admiration for the girls of today,
especially those who belong to the
educated classes. At no time in the
worlds history has the young woman
so well astered the art of making
the best of her self and taking care
of her clothes.
II maintain that no girl can be
taught too young to take healthy
interest in dress, to understand its
preliminary laws, to study color and
style and to master the rudiments of
millinery and dressmaking. To be
able to make a good blouse, or to rem
voate last seasons millinery, is even
more useful accomplishment than
to have a smattering OF science, to
sing, play or paint, or even to make
bread"
That was bold talk to a graduating
class. but it is talk that is worth
while. Nowadays woman must look
her best to do her best. Clothes and
the way they are worn are factor in
success.
A musical club wished to engage a
soloist for one of the clubs musi-
Gales. Two names were under discus
sion; each had the same number of
votes on the committee. The chair
man who had the deciding vote, said:
81 decide for Miss Blank. She may
possibly not be quite so much of an
artist as the other, but her person
ality is so charming. She dresses
so we'll, has so attractive a presence
that she'll take better"
That holds true in everything she
does. Given two applicants for a po-
sition, two strivers for social success,
that girl wins out who has studied
how to make most of herself.
1t is an unknown person who de-
| cides the modern girl is frivolous be-
cause she wants to look well. The
maiden of today in her mid victorian
fichu is more practical than the girl
who first wore a pannier and puffs
and tucker She usually has her own
dress allowance and learns to live
within it. To her clothes mean win
ming out in everything she under
