CONFESSIONS OF A Wife
" "ThiniS 1 Cannot Tell"

When Kitty came here she
brought me one of my long
white gloves. l lost IL the night
of her wedding. She said +:
Here is a funny thing, Margie.
You know Mr.. Sanders, who was
Herbert's best man and who was
killed in the accident in which
you were hurt? Well, some one
found this glove in his desk
drawer and, as Il had your name
in II, they sent IL back to me.
81 presume Sandy found IL and
dropped it in his drawer and for
got it."
l felt rather guilty, but really
there was nothing to tell Kitty
and it would seem rather theat-
rical to say to her that Sandy"
as she called him, although he
had only seen me three times,
had told me he loved me when
he was dying and with his last
strength had tried to make my
hurt more comfortable.
She also told me that IL Mr..
Sanders had been found and
taken to the hospital in time his
life might have been saved.
And he insisted thatI should
be taken out first

unfree is our society that the man
prizes his job. If the Colorado, the
West Virginia, or the Michigan min
ers, or the strikers anywhere, could
get new jobs at fair wages, simply by
offering to do a good days work for
a good days pay, strike would be
as peaceful as the walkout of the
cook from your kitchen.
Men cannot get new jobs at will,
because of the mOnOpOlizatiOn of nat
ural opportunities for self-emplOy-
ment-but cannot discuss that here.
I have only space in which to call
upon all Americans to consider these
labor wars as inevitable occurrences,
our social system being what it is,
and to demand of legislators, COM
missions, and every body Of people
called together to consider the mat
ter, that they search for basic. causes,
and not do so insane a thing as to
seek merely to locate the blame. That
way lies anarchy.
And in the meantime let us con-
slider the palliative gospel OF Secre-
tary William c. Redfeld, himself a
great employer of labor. In a speech
at Columbus not long ago he said:
eff we will but realize that the in
dustry of low wages cannot compete
with the industry of high wages; that
we must utilize in a sensible way the
powers that God gave to men and wo-
men; that we must treat men and
women as the laws of God require,
and if we learn thoroughly how to
lead and guide, not drive, we shall
make America the industrial empire
of the entire world"
A good gospel-while we are learn
ing so to free ourselves that no man
will be ABLE to drive another if he
wishes.

BECKER CASE HANGS ON THE
WORD OF NEGRO BOY
. New York, May 15.-On the word
of negro boy apparently hangs the
life of Charles Becker, once car of
New York's tenderloin, now on trial
for the murder of Herman ROsenthal,
the gambler who "sqUealed." James
Marshall, colOred, was brought into
the case by Harry VaIlon.
VallOn claims that while he,
Becker, Rose and Weber held their
murder conference, a negro boy came
up and talked to Becker.
Louis Bridge" Weber withstood
every effort to pry out of his agile
brain admissions that someone other
than Charles Becker procured the
murder of Rosenthal. In every par
ticular he corTOborated the story told
by Bald Jack Rose Of why Becker
desired the death of ROsenthal and
how he forced the murder
Reports are current that Becker
will take the stand in an attempt to
save himself from the electric chair.
There is no love lost between Becker
and Dist Atty Whitman. The de-
tense has practically charged that
Whitman, Rose, Weber and Vallon
framed" the case because, as one
defense witness will swear, Whitman
wanted" Becker. 1t is therefore be-
lieved that if Becker takes the stand
he will have to Withstand from Whit
man as savage an attack as his ever
been hurled at any prisoner in a New
York court.
Two women, yelled, have been in
the witness room Of the court at
times during the last few days and
one of them is declared to be the
widow of RosenthaI. 1t is said she
lays the death of her husband fatty
at Beckers door and will tell a story
of the quarrel between Becker and
the dead gambler.

Another Good Measure

In our opinion, Congressman Tay-
lor is fathering good measure in his
bill to allow non-residents to file On
and prove up on forty-acre tracts, in
the Rocky Mountain states, for sum
mer homes; provided, this class of
settlers make improvements to the
extent of $1,000.
So far as we can see, the state pa
pers are nearly unanimous in ap-
proving the measure. Some, how
ever, are of the opinion that the bill
should limit the acreage to 10, 15 or
20; the smaller having the prefer
ence. If you are interested in this
measure, drop a few lines to Hon.
Edward 4. Taylor, NJ. O., 265 H. o.

views on THE matter. No congress-
man ut the national capital gives
more time to ascertainIng the

them out than does Ed Taylor.
