Seattle, IWashb Nov. 13---Sccre-
tary of Labor Wilson, addressing
the American Federation of Labor
today, suggested as solution of the
great labor quest ons of congestion
and immigration the gathering OF
information by the government and
the creation of a federal EMPLOY
mont bureau. He told of the tender
of the governments good offices

had fatty refused to entertain them
The secretary said;
Il want to tell YOU that the larg-
est corporation involved in the
strike at Calumet was organized
with a capital stock Of $2,50O,OOO
with shares at $25, with $1,000,0OG
as its actual investment.
"And the dividends from this ac-
ulal investment declared by the cor.
poration in the forty-two years Of
its existence were $t2t000,0oo
With $75. 100000 revenue from
dividends they got nearly $20O,000,-

They say the property is theirs
and they can manage it to suit
themselves. But say that the age
is gone by when he holds who can
and might is right. All title to pro
perty now existing is by law and the
| law OF titles was made by societies
as the best way to preserve the wei

individual. Whenever the individ-
ual or corporation uses title to pro
nprty in such a way as to injure the
welfare of the community. then he
will force society to modify Its
laws

Marquette. Mich, Nov t3.---There

She was commanded by Capt.
,1ancs Owens With the seas wa h
ing over breakwater, the Smith
loaded with 1000 tens of heavy
iron ore, left Marquette ha~bor

To the Editor of The Age-eHralu
savoyard has blundered. His brilliant
pen has committed an unjust and untimeiy
assault upon the genius of the late SEN
ator Robert Love Taylor and cast a re-
Election upon his character. His assault
is unjust because 1t ignores vital facts
that would have led to fairer conclusions
1t is untimely because it is ruthless to
the tears that still are falling upon Bob
Taylor's grave. 1t is poor and weight
less paradox that whispers; He was a
lovable man." and then roars He was
the tool of Nelson Aldrieh
That Bob Taylor was wax always,
marble never" that he was the helpless
vine," that he was timid, forceless and
cowardly hare. that his election to the
Senate was a public calamity, make up
the essence of Savoyards estimate. But
this estimate. though bodied with a buoy
ant literary excellence, lacks the wings Of
plain and simple facts to keep 1t long
above the dust 1t is the voice of ig-
noiance humming with tuneful notes. Not
the voice of general ignorance. for savo-
yard is learned man, but he does not
know his subject in this case. lie writes
OF him as one might write of the majestic
Alps, who has seen them only through
the haze of distance, and not like one
who has traversed their gorges and scaled
their peaks.
Bob Taylor was indeed a man of peace
because he loved all men, and not because
he feared to fight. He showed marble
courage when his convictions were cross
ed While yet in his thirties, the staid
democracy of Tennessee saw him boldly
oppose the machinery, the leaders. and
the prejudices of his party upon the
question of federal aid to public educa
ton. He believed that no sacrifice of
mere policy was too great for the de-
mocracy to make for the poor children of
his state and he braved possible political
destruction, to so declare.
He possessed the pioneer courage Of
initiative. He was the first governor of
Tennessee to tell the jures and the judges
that they need not send children to the
penitentiary. He was serving his first
term as governor, and he pardoned them
as fast as they were sentenced. The
critics rallied and the newspapers poured
columns of denunciation upon him as
the friend of criminals and the null-
fier of the sacred judgments of courts.
Political death again threatened. He

In the Senate. Taylor voted for a tariff
cn certain articles, because he believed
he was serving the best interests OF his
people in doing so. He held that while
the republican party was forcing the
country to a tariff on articles of which
his constituents were consumers. it was
but common justice that they should be
protected on articles of which they were
producers. He had the courage to say
that il the robbery must be perpetrated,

lie was not a man who could be bulldozed
away from his convictions seven by his
party's lash.
Had he lived to serve another term
in the Senate he would have left the
stamp of genius there. He was a cau
tions man and he knew his weak points.
He had not acquired that wide knowl-
edge and premiscuous information nee
essary to a readiness for combat in
that sedate body. but he had the muscle
of mind to acquire them. He was no

mount the reeling Rosinante of lame
audacity, and charge the windmills of
senatorial wisdom. He had set for
himself task of study and research
and had he lived the country would
have felt his power
In the politics of Tennessee he had
been unlike any man. He had not
sought to vie with John Marshall as q
lawyer nor to carry the weight Of
constitutions in his brain. but he pre-
empted the realm of eloquent speech,
and moved unmatched in humor's
sphere. He set statistics to music
he tickled tariff schedules in the ribs,
and made them laugh their own ini-
quities to the multitudes.
