hon strikebreaker has returned to.
Chicago soul-sick and disguised at
the tactics of the notorious agency
for which he worked.
William B. Groat, who was sent
to the strikebound district on Sep
TENDER 20, returned a few days. ago
and made the following affidavit:
& was sent up to Houghton, Mich,
and reported there to James Wadden,
of the, Waddell-Mahon Agency, at the
Douglas House on Sept. 20. l was
assigned to the mines at Baltic, Mich,
operated by the Copper Range Con-
solidated Miner Company. was first
sworn in as a special deputy sheriff
by Sheriff James Cruise and given a
gun and star.
Il went to work at Baltic on Sept.
81 and was there for the next SO days,
during which | witnessed many acts
instigated by the mine owners that
would not bear the searchlight of
publicity.
81 have seen men stopped on the
public highway and searched and
then dubbed by strikebreakers with
out authority. -
1T was the custom when a striker
was arrested in Baltic, regardless of
the fact that there was a justice only
half=mile away, to take him in an au-
tomobile, at the county's expense, to
a justice in Hancock, 10 miles away,
because that justice was known to be
friendly to the mine owners.
Striking miners in Baltic were not
even allowed to have beer in their
houses. And il. they did have any,
deputies would break into the house,
seize the beer and carry it off to the
mines. And all this time many of
the deputies were running blind pigs
on the side with the company's per
mission.

The new NOBILITY.
by DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1914. by Frank Crane,)

There will always be a nobility and a
commons. Democracy does not operate
to level all people to one grade. 1t
creates distinctions as sharp as those of
the old world systems. There will be as
great difference between a noble and a
vulgar person under democracy as there
is between a duke and a stable boy in
the artificial class scheme of England.
There will be more: for often in Euro
pean society the real character of the
stable boy is not far removed from that
of the duke
In the real gradations of nobility rank
is of no significance A lady who is a
leader in the smart set may be low and
common, and the lady who runs the
typewriter may be high and gentle.
AS a rule extreme wealth which creates
idleness produces vulgarity, causing mar
rowness, pride and seltishness: and ex-
treme poverty has the same effect, as it
stunts. imbrutes and clogs life. Beyond
this, ones circumstances mean little or
nothing in cultural value.
Real nobility may be known by these
marks:
A certain fine cleanliness of mind
An ignoring and an Inconsistencies OF
the body and it's appetites. Moderation in
eating and drinking. Perfect control over
the sex instinct. The body must be got
out of the way, else one always gives an
impression of grossness that is offensive
Genuine humility of spirit Not SER
Witty, but a noble indifference to praise
and honors. To want high office. to want
to be noticed, admired and envied, Is to
be, to a degree, coarse natured.
To push ones self. to advertise. to
scheme for prominence, may be good
business. but it is not noble. This does
not apply to the advertisement OF one $
goods which he has for sale. but to ones
self.
An vanity. boasting. talking of self and
of ones own achievements or money, a
loud tone of voice, the habit of breaking
in upon the conversation of others, TOO
much prominence of the pronoun l. these
low.
The real nobility never dress strikingly
The woman who wears a garment that
attracts attention because of its star
tlingness shows a streak of commonness.
The height of good dressing is to be un-
observed, said Beau Brummel.
4 fondness for jewelry and perfumes IS
a mark of lack of refinement.
Real nobIeness is indicated by taste
for simplicity, quietness in speech, IN
manner. IN ones furniture and house. All
display whether in a 5th avenue mansion
or a Bowery necktie. is coarse.
Luxury Is an unfailing mark OF 10"
nature, particularly when it is accom-
panied by extravaganza and debts
The noble mind respects itself. ana
will not be imposed upon. 1t Is unaIralo,
but not bullying.
Nobleness is shown by courtesy, by an
unfaiiing regard for the feelings OF oth-
ers, by an inborn gentleness and MOD
esty; just as coarseness of nature Is
shown by the opposite kind of thing.
Testing yourself and others by these
standards you will be surprised at the
number of genuinely noble people you
know You find them everywhere; one
may be selling newspapers at the street
corner, one may work in your kitchen
one may be a millionaire, one poor
man.
